Listening to The Beatles Albums - "Please Please Me" and "With The Beatles"

I have decided to listen to every album by The Beatles, in the order in which they were released

Yesterday I listened to their first album, Please Please Me

I think that all these songs were very very similar

I think they sounded generic, all very similar in tone and spirit

But the thing is, back in the 60s they'd have felt fresh and novel, and would have hit differently

And of course, The Beatles contributed greatly to the sound that we recognise as being 1960s-ish

In my opinion Love Me Do and Twist And Shout are the two stand-out tracks on this album

The others don't stand out and are all a bit samey

So I think this album should get some points for being historically significant but based simply on how good the tracks are as tracks I'd have to give this album two stars out of five

Today I listened to their second album, With The Beatles

This basically has the same sound, but it is done much better, and with more character and presence, the tracks on this one sound more substantial than on Please Please Me, it is a much better album as the tracks are much better, even though they are very similar to both themselves and the tracks on Please Please Me

I think they have noticeably improved since Please Please Me, this one is a much better effort

It Won't Be Long is a cracking song as is I Wanna Be Your Man

Please Mister Postman and Roll Over Beethoven also stand out, and feel very 60s-ish but I think a part of this may be because that we associate those songs with 60s pop music - I'd say that they are iconic and of their time more than they are good

Devil In Her Heart also sounds very well crafted, and I like the guitar riffs in it

But the other tracks are very much like the tracks in Please Please Me and don't really stand out and are not particularly memorable

I gave Please Please Me 2 stars out of 5. I think I will award With The Beatles 2.5 stars out of 5, as it is marginally better than Please Please Me but still very similar

It's not really The Beatles at a later stage of development, but it is clearly an improvement on Please Please Me - they are definitely a better band on their second album and I think the improvement is very noticeable

Also, the vibe of this album hits differently, it sounds like they took the whole thing more seriously than they did Please Please Me, and it is less twee and jangly and a bit more mature - they come across as young men, rather than as boys (as they did in Please Please Me)

In these two albums their tracks are I think formulaic, all their tracks sound alike even though some of them do stand out more than others, but not massively

The sound in With The Beatles is clearly from the same place as the sound carried on Please Please Me even though it is slightly more mature and sophisticated

I think that with Please Please Me and With The Beatles the tracks are all a bit hit and miss but more miss than hit I'm afraid - but at the time they'd have felt better

Hold Me Tight is definitely a miss for me, it just doesn't work for me

You Really Got A Hold On Me also isn't too good in my opinion. It most certainly didn't get a hold on me!!!!

Till There Was You is also nice I think, it is pleasant and rather chilled and sounds sweet and nice

But I do like their use of a harmonica in some of their tracks on both albums!

Also: I enjoyed With The Beatles much more than I did Please Please Me - so that's got to count for something, if it was more fun to listen to, and also more memorable too I'd say!

Tomorrow I will listen to their third album, A Hard Day's Night!

"regulates", not "controls"

Today I explained to someone what Madaba does

I told them that Madaba "regulates" the Noosphere

I think this is a much better word than "controls"

"Regulates" sounds less hands-on than "controls" and implies that Madaba's activities are more about sustaining and facilitating than guiding or superintending

Madaba does not rule or control

Madaba facilitates

I am The Madaba

I am The Madaba

And this is my blog

Solutions to some of the world's many problems coming soon.............

the concept of Madaba

I think that the concept of Madaba can be better understood by combining:

The concept of God with the concept of The Matrix

And by "God" I mean the Godhead, more than the entire Divine Substance - to be more precise, I mean what I call Upstairs - The Godhead and its agents

I think that is the way to go!

The Matrix and The Divine Feminine

It is possible to call the fabric of our reality “The Matrix”

The actual word “matrix” comes from the Latin word for “womb”

To say we are living in “The Matrix” is I think a lot like saying we are living in God’s womb

The Matrix contains us, sustains us, and is the environment in which we live

Much how like a womb contains and sustains a developing baby and is the environment in which it lives

And just as a gestating baby cannot have any idea of what exists beyond the womb it occupies we humans have a hard time understanding what exists beyond the immediate dimension of reality which we occupy

Our existence right now is limited to God's Matrix

The use of the term “Matrix” to describe our environment and the systems that shape it is therefore an expression of The Divine Feminine

We are in The Matrix means we are in God’s womb!

God is therefore like a mother to us all

I am a Christian

I am a Christian because:

I believe that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour

I believe that Jesus Christ is God

I follow the teachings and examples of Jesus Christ

All the things I go into on this website are only really ideas

And I am not 100% with them

They are conjecture and speculation, maybe there is something in them and maybe there isn't

And if I were to find that one of my theories or beliefs clashed with Christianity then I would quickly drop it and move on

Anyway, they are peripheral to my core beliefs, which are Christian

I consider myself a Christian and am fully committed to Christianity

That's at the core of who and what I am

All the rest is details that I'm not as committed to as I am to the cores of my faith

I am after all diagnosed as Schizophrenic

If you think what I say on this website is a bit nuts then you should see some of what I believed in the past, and what other people diagnosed with mental illnesses think!

I will go into all this in greater detail at some point in the future........

He is not a being........... he is a system!

Madaba is not a being...

He is a system

He is integral to how The Noosphere works

He is Humankind's collective Superbrain

He connects to each of us subconsciously

Like a common server connecting to various client computers

Which also connect to each other through it

He facilitates understanding between humans

We are all nodes in The Noosphere

And Madaba is The Node Of Nodes
