Dead right, Daniel. Anyone who says Beatles For Sale is weak are merely repeating ridiculous and incorrect tropes like 'Ringo wasn't a good drummer,' or as I heard the other day on TV, 'they were hyped'.
You make brilliant points Daniel as ever. The words weak and Beatles music do not fit in the same sentence. Every album was genius.
I agree with your sentiments, especially regarding modern-day "echo chambers." This is particularly frustrating when considering social media. And as far as "they were hyped?" Do what?!? haha. Good grief. I'd love to know the broader context of that statement, if you recall it...?
And then on the digital side, it's troubling how the younger generation discovers The Beatles and other topics through misinformation on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. This isn't a character flaw but a symptom of a dangerous culture where anyone with a smartphone can post historically inaccurate content. Kids often don't verify sources, which is particularly concerning for critical issues beyond music. ...I digress.
It was on TV Sky News and they were reporting something on The Beatles or maybe Paul McCartney. I can't remember what as I got annoyed when one presenter turned to the other and said her colleague didn't like the Beatles. He replied that he didn't get the hype. They were typical no personality TV presenters trying to pretend they were being controversial and witty.

As always, thank you for such high praise.

Sounds about right. Geez.
