At first I was like "yo this stereo version is absolute shit, I gotta find a mono version", but when I tried the mono version I was like "yo it's actually not about mono or stereo, it's shit either way" Still, the stereo mix is the retardest idea ever. No wonder The Residents used this particular album art for a bit of trolling
For the first time in my life I have actually been happy over my speakers being broken and no longer able to play specifically the right side of stereo sound. It means that when I got tired of listening to this shite I could just take my headphones off, turn my speakers on and only hear the instrumentals (still bad but manageable)
Okay, gotta be honest, I'm not a big fan of the Beatles. I find them a little bit bland even if I know the historical weight they hold but I also have to admit that I have never listened to any of their albums completely, only the songs that are the most famous, so here I am full of hope that there is at least one song of them that is gonna shake me to the core so let's see. Surprise me Okay, update, I'm halfway the album. Still nothing has shaken me to the core and actually I'm a bit disappointed because the Beatles are serving zero homoerotic vibes even when they are described as a boy band. I have a lot of thoughts, none of them are kind. Update #2. Some things are better to left unsaid. That's all I'm gonna say, actually I think i said enough. I just feel like I just ate a bowl of unseasoned chicken. I'm gonna shut up now
Very of a time and place, not any of their best songs on.
*jack off motion* *WWE cross chop crotch thrust* *farts* Leave the postman the hell alone!
At this point they weren't very good.
Not my type of music
A few great songs
Oh no. I really wasn’t looking forward to the day The Beatles would end up in my list. Never liked them. No nostalgia attached. Maybe not the best album to be served up as a first album full listen.
Not my kind of music
I think I'm just not in a great mood today and I shouldn't take it out on this album, but oh well. When man first discovered that they could record and broadcast music in stereo rather than mono it was a breakthrough that everyone recognized as genius. You could get higher fidelity in recordings to the point where you could finally pick out specific instruments. You could even pinpoint where in the room those instruments were being played (sound stage). It was revolutionary and bands were experimenting with the new technology. Like most experiments, they sometimes get pushed a little too far. That is what happened here. John, Paul, George, and Ringo were sitting in a room and decided why don't we put all of the instruments on the left side of the room, and we will all sing on the right side. But won't that get a little annoying only hearing lyrics out of one side? Who cares. This is stereo technology we're talking about. We have to put it to the test. I absolutely can't stand the production of this recording. I'm getting a headache out of one side of my head. It's like when 3D movies were a thing and you could tell every shot that was intended for 3D. Did it add to the film? No. Is it distracting and take you out of the moment? Yep. Are people going to hate it in the future? Probably. So why are we doing it? Cause it's new and cool! I couldn't tell you much about the actual music. I was too distracted by this stupid stereo recording to pay attention to it. Fuck you Parlophone. I hope you're proud of that little "stereo" stamp in the top right corner of the album art.
the worst thing in the world
Till There Was You is quite nice but I'm surprised this album is on the list - it's quite forgettable. Constant harmonising lol.
для идеализации, романтизации чего либо, в особенности человека противоположного пола. хуита
Look, I put on With the Beatles expecting a cosmic revelation - like, maybe the sky would crack open and Ringo would descend in a glowing egg to teach me the secrets of rhythm. Instead, I got… a bunch of songs that sounded like they were recorded inside a mop bucket while everyone was politely trying not to sneeze. It's like they had one microphone, half a sandwich, and a dream. Sure, they’re The Beatles, but this album feels like when you're really hungry and you make toast, but the bread is still kind of cold and the butter just sits there looking judgmental. I mean, did they have fun? Probably. Did I? I kept waiting for it to kick in, like maybe the real album was hiding under the first one, like a secret bonus Beatles within the Beatles. Nope. Just more claps, polite guitars, and harmonies that sound like three cousins trying to sing over a fan. “Roll Over Beethoven”? More like Roll Over and Maybe Take a Nap, Beethoven. And “All My Loving” is nice if you enjoy love letters read aloud by someone who’s thinking about their laundry. There’s no chaos, no grit, just a whole lot of early-sixties musical oatmeal. I respect the history. I do. But listening to this felt like being trapped in a black-and-white TV where the only show is "British Guys Smile Politely While Singing Fast." I wuld rather talk to the taxman about poetry.
George Harrison doing please mr postman… please. It’s like they’ve been brought out in chains to perform for an Eastern European dictator who wants to listen to ‘western music’.
Var næsten ikke til at holde ud at lytte til! Så dårligt mixet.
dirty fucking hippies.
Hate the Beatles. Only good songs are covers.
In my opinion the worst pre-Rubber Soul album for the beatles. Young, immature song writing and uninspired covers make for a 30 minute LP that feels like an hour. I'm genuinely surprised this is on the list. Considering this didn't release in the US or Canada, it's hard to attribute the cultural phenomenon of Beatlemania to it even. A great example of what the floor is for The Beatles.
i did not enjoy that one bit. no sax solos too.
Is this the Beatles before they were cool? Vocals all being in exclusively the right ear is not pleasant.
музыка, написанная абюьзерами, изменщиками, гомофобами с неконтролируемой агрессией, но хэй, это же битлз!! легенды!! я никогда не поменяю своего мнения, они ужасны, их музыка ужасна во первых, песни по две минуты? это типа нам на донышке налили и с кончика ложки дали? во вторых, восемь каверов в альбоме? всего композиций 14. я не могу понять влияния битлз на историю музыки, вы не простите, но бог простит. голоса у них вообще неприятные
Não gosto muito dos beatles
Nope.
Svært at tage seriøst, når man i forvejen er en Beatles skeptiker. Specielt ikke deres tidlige musik. Ikke mig. 3/10
would rather end my life than listen to the beatles willingly
So cheezy, so adolenscent... "I'm kissing the lips that I'm missing", "I love you madly, you treat me badly" - all right, gents, that's early stuff, got it. Still strange that The Beatles of Yesterday, Come Together and Eleanor Rigdy had blown up with this. It was a fun way to shake the dust off the legends.
Just ok. Kind of over the Beatles.
Meh. Don’t get the fascination for the Beatles.
no
Never been a Beatles fan
meh
:(
Boy Band Cover Songs.
It's just not very good is it? On top of being long and obnoxious.
you must depart for uzbekistan. the time is near. they are approaching faster than imagined. they can smell you.
It’s terrible isn’t it? Pure cringe. Thank God they evolved / found drugs.
Early Beatles just sounds dated nowadays. I don't mind the numerous cover versions on this mixed in with the odd self penned song. but its just pure pop music for the screaming hoards. Its all a very happy and positive sound of youth, before experience of life, and drugs kicked in.
I don't like the Beatles. Not for me, a snoozer of an album.
1/14. dece 7/100
Not a fannnn
Det er virkelig ikke for at være en hater, det er en stor 1’er! Lyder godt, men super uessentiel
Yet another load of crap. Get me out of this fucking decade.
CRINGE
nightmare blunt rotation 2/10
Man kan godt høre at det er en af deres formative albums, der er ivertfaldt nogle sange på det her album der er lidt vuggevise/shallow writing agtigt. Men der er også nogle bangers iblandt
So many covers.
No thanks. Not today Satan!
type of music you share a milkshake with your gal to awful
meh 1/5
Die meist überschätzte Band der Musikgeschichte. Finde sie einfach langweilig. Vielleicht war es damals ja wegweisend aber heute muss man Beatles nicht mehr hören.
I know you don’t get the latter day Beatles without these Beatles. I just wasn’t interested in doing this kind of musical archaeology. This has got to be their worst.
With all due respect I thought it sucked
Go away
I acknowledge the importance of this band's later innovation and experimentation, but their early bowl-cut bubblegum bullshit belongs in the bin.
Not a fan of the Beatles
The most forgettable album in the entire Beatles catalog.
Eu entendo o motivo disso estar na lista dos 1001 albums para se ouvir antes de morrer, mas seria uma experiência totalmente torturante, se não fosse cômica. A melhor parte desse álbum é o fim, literalmente, a única música que dá pra dizer "ok, essa até que não é tão ruim" é a última, e até que enfim se encerra. O cover de "Roll Over Beethoven" é uma tragédia, mas não consegue superar as músicas "Little Child" e "I Wanna be Your Man", essas eu nem consegui ouvir até o final, 2 minutos de música pareciam não acabar nunca. O que torna a experiência um pouco melhor é a influência de surf rock na guitarra do George Harrison em alguns momentos, mas não consegue sustentar os vocais extremamente chatos do John Lennon. Entendo a sua importância, seu momento na história, mas é um álbum pra se ouvir uma única vez antes de morrer, e depois nunca mais dar play. Melhor música: Money (That's What i Want)
3/10 one of the Beatles worse imo
In the historical context, this is essential album to listen to and become familiar with but considering my age and the thousands of times I've heard these songs it's just not all that enjoyable or pleasing for me to listen to anymore. For young people and new musicians and people that like to post soirees this album serves a purpose but like I said about the other Beatles album that I just listen to and for all the other Beatles albums you're going to send to me I must say this has been overplayed and it's just no longer fresh.
I just cannot get into the Beatles. I’m convinced people rate the albums so high because they feel like they are expected to.
Fuck the Beatles.
meh
I don't like music makeovers, especially not when the first recordings were uber classics. Don't mess with success!
💤
I just don't get it. The beatles are not that good. I genuinely cannot fathom how women used to hear this and foam at the mouth they loved it so much. wtf

Nah... didn't give it a fair chance, to be honest, but don't like the sound.
today is not the day all music sounds bad not the musics fault
Harte Nummer. Schaffte es bis Song 6. Würde mich wundernehmen, ob erst das remaster so dermassen laut wurde?
Much more classic rock and roll than I expected, but still obviously the Beatles. Not a fan. 1. Harsh, but it's 6am and I'm at Heathrow and allowed after a long flight!
I guess I only like the Beatles after they started doing drugs
Early Beatles leaves me cold.
Early black metal "pioneers" The Beatles do not impress. The tremolo on 'All My Loving' is especially pathetic. The only good thing about this album is it's short length, but I think it could be 33 minutes shorter. John Lennon is a false metal poser.
I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS
Dogshit saccharin pop music. Sounds like it was written by a 12 year old. Unbelievable how much people like this.
Not my favourite Beatles era. And the version of Money sounds AI-generated. They were the Sixties Westlife / Boyzone at this point. Quite liked the Harrison track on here, but it's no "All Too Much".
Ik schreef eerder al dat de luisteraar The Beatles volgens mij vooral hoog waardeert door de (onbewuste) culturele plicht om het goed te moeten vinden. Nu blijkt dat dit ook geldt voor de stellers van de 1001. Je gaat mij niet wijs maken dat dit album ooit de 1001 had gehaald als er geen Beatles op stond. De muziek zeurt, de stem zeurt en dan ga je ook nog eens telkens de lettergrepen verlengen. "And whi-ile I'm away-ay, I'll write ho-ome everyday-ay" Niet om aan te horen. Absolute dieptepunt hierbij: Ho(-o-o-o-o)ld Me Tight. Dat is me toch een gedateerd saai nummer. Het enige nummer dat wat minder saai wordt gezongen is Money. Maar ook hier: eigenlijk moet het Mo-o-o-o-o-oney heten....
So boring , how can they known as best
Just... I know this album is from the 60s. I get that. But there's no saving it for me. The song topics are so repetitive, and the songs THEMSELVES are incredibly repetitive too. I also don't like any of their singing voices which doesn't help. That's probably a huge reason that I deride their 'wooo wooo woo' 'yeah yeah yeah' and other wibbly wobbly time filling vocals the Beatles use so often.
Don’t like the Beatles
I’m not an adolescent girl in the 60s so this does nothing for me. It’s another example of how the author needs permission not to add every album from iconic bands. It seems like he thinks that’s required. It’s ok to say a Beatles album isn’t great and in comparison with their other albums it’s fine to leave it off the list for better albums.
Generico, anacronistico per l'epoca e poco talentuosi. Gli inizi sono stati "meh" musicalmente ed esplosivi per i media e per la nascita del concetto di "band". Daranno molto di meglio in futuro ma a modesta opinione fino al 65 non uscirà nulla di interessante. Fosse stato registrato con una patata sarebbe stato un bell'album garage rock.
Well here we are with another Beatles album and I'll say until I can't, most overrated band ever.... The 2 songs I actually like are remakes, Roll over Beethoven and Money. Go figure. Cheesy music and just not for me. Will not listen again. 1.5 and will score a 1 since the best songs were remakes. 1.5
👎no thanks
I really don’t like The Beatles man… this is painful
Why :( One star for till there was you which was not written by the Beatles. Drivel.
Lots of songs that sounded the same. Everything seemed to blur together. Overall didn't really enjoy.
Ffs
This won't be a popular opinion, but I don't rate The Beatles. The Stones were way better, as were The Kinks, as were The Small Faces. I say no to bland pop.
You can tell they were young here, as their songwriting is exceptionally kiddish and musical performance amateurish. There is very little interesting about this album outside of it being a historical curiosity. While a short album, it's still bloated with covers that are inferior to their originals, and the originals are fairly tepid pop songs about young love.
En saa tästä mitään.
Still don't like the Beatles. Don't @ me.
Jesli nawet ten beatelsowy albumers znalazl miejsce na tej liscie, to jestem przekonany ze reszta takze znajdzie tu miejsce dla siebie, bo jak dla mnie jest to najslabszy material bandy, nagrany dosc szybko po debiutanckim albumie, ale nie tak szybko jak ten pierwszy nagrany praktycznie w jednej sesji, utrzymany w kilmatach bojsbendowego popu, gdzie 8 trakow jest autorskich, natomiast pozostale 6 to covery hamerykanskich grajkow, 33 minuty, ktore wydaja sie byc wiecznoscia przy takiej monotonii jaka panuje na plycie, caly czas jedno i to samo typowo popowe zawodzenie o milosci, szczesciu i co tam jeszcze jest cukierkowego, na plejke wrzuce tylko roll over beethoven zeby jakis slad pozostal po tej pozycji, no i jest to pierwszy mono albumik na liscie, bo nawet jesli sa strasze rowniez tak nagrywane, to na spotifaju byly jedynie wersje stereo, a akurat beatelsy maja pierwsze albumiki w mono
Meh
Rock and roll babyyy
This album sucked.
