It's both moving ...& weird.
But - historically - I also wonder if that's not about right for TheBeatles too.
In the 1960s - their Work perfectly paralleled & reflected the rapidly changing Technology.
& apparently - it does to this day.

...well - one point Beatle Enthusiasts like to make is - they embraced new Techniques - but always to serve the Song & the Recording. (Not for their own sakes per se.) As Innovative as they became - which is a lot - they never lost the feel of their roots as a hard-working Club Band. Is that possible with this new one ? Probly less so. Yet - it's them & no one else. & not Jeff Lynne Producing either - as their mid90s embellishments of Lennon Demos were...
