"Strawberry Fields Forever" opens with Take 1, just John Lennon and his guitar. The surround speakers capture the studio ambience, and yes, it's a cliche, but it's like he's right there.If you're expecting a traditional Beatles album, this might not be for you. If you want to hear random bits of genius flying from your speakers in a way you've never heard them before, Love in 5.1 is a deeply satisfying listen.
Not a traditional Beatles album

Paying taxes unites us. It also divides us. People can pay five and even six times more in state and local taxes than other folks in similar circumstances making similar incomes.
