The Beatles: 13 Tracks To Forget
3. It's All Too Much
Sorry, George, but you whiffed on this one too.
Harrison wrote this song and based it off of his experiences with LSD. Boy, does it show. The entire song is a loud, cacophonous mish-mosh and coming in at over six minutes long, it really is all too much.
The lyrics seem pointless and without direction. If Harrison was indeed trying to capture a bad acid trip in writing it, he succeeded. It is easily the weakest song featured on the film's soundtrack. The live-action Beatles made a a point of saying "Catchy tune, man," as the film ended, but perhaps they were just being nice. Maybe they were just following directions from someone off-camera.
Either way, the film would have been just as good without It's All Too Much, the perfect example of how less can often be more.
