never understood why people hate maxwell so much when abbey road (and white album/MMT etc) are full of 'silly' songs like that. why does maxwell get the most hate?
― why dont u say something or like just die (dog latin)
It's a painstakingly constructed plodding folly, whereas songs like Octopus' Garden or Mean Mr Mustard are hazy psychedelic fragments which fit in well with the blissed-out flow.

Like, it's deliberately wacky rather than playfully silly.

not that people are particularly fond of those, but it seems it's maxwell that gets held up as the worst of the bunch.
I'm not a huge fan of any of those songs, but all of them sound more charming and less ham-fisted (not to mention less jarringly sequenced) to me, yes.

"Butcher's Tale (Western Front 1914)"
Came here to post this one. I do like this song, but it's definitely jarring.
