    Telescoping the timeline and illustrating The Beatles' progress with new selections, delivering in an impressionistic, nouvelle vague rush. [Review of the Year 2025, p.103]

    The added brightness and clarity given to the songs is a nice upgrade, so is the more compact packaging. Is that enough to justify a repurchase? maybe. It definitely will appeal to Beatles fans who don't have the original versions and that seems like a very good reason for this set to exist.

    The four volumes of the Anthology offer an impressive overview of 12 years of work (plus the Threetles and the Twotles). [Dec 2025, p.88]

    A triumph of marketing, it’s hard to escape notions that this shiny “new” version of the Anthology series essentially comprises remasters of previously remastered rejects.
