With The Beatles

The Beatles - With The Beatles Som på debuten er det absolutte klassikarar blant originalane her, men The Beatles hadde vel ikkje tid til å henge så mykje rundt i studio på denne tida. Låtane dei har covra er gode, men kor essensielle er desse versjonane av “Please Mister Postman”, “You Really Got A Hold On Me” og “Roll Over Beethoven”? Samtlege fins allereie i overlegne utgåver. Det er sjeldan eg hentar fram denne og den er i større grad dokumentasjon av vegen-som-blei-til enn ei fantastisk plate. 7/10

unfortunately this is a pre-Rubber Soul album, which means I'm not as fond of it as I feel I should be

meh

Fun, dinky album. Individual personalities start to emerge on With The Beatles.

The Beatles improve on everything that could be found on their debut. With the catchy and sweet "All My Loving" and the energetic opener "It Won't Be Long", the originals are better written. While I'd argue this doesn't have a cover as strong as their "Twist And Shout" rendition from their debut, "Roll Over Beethoven" is excellent and I have a particular soft spot for their take on "Please Mr. Postman". Still being a teen idol band, the lyrics are obviously a bit childish and there is the odd bit of filler on here, but this is an impressive sophomore effort.

They certainly come a long way from here. I'm definitely a Beatles fan, but this is not something I'll choose to put on.

Early Beatles isn’t my favorite but I still really enjoyed it.

Without 'The Beatles' tag, this would be a forgotten album of the 1960's. It's cool to see the early workings of the band, you can definitely hear what they'd become with the gorgeous harmonies, which are by far the standout. Overall, it's a pretty boring album though, and a relic of 1960's pop music.

John Lebron

It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks. These gentlemen are the equivalent of those who split the atom and discovered electricity. I don’t personally enjoy most of their music, but there is no point denying their mark on history

This album has a few of my favourite Beatles songs on it, which is why I gave it 4 instead of 3 stars. They are great singers and musicians, but their earlier albums aren't very lyrically creative. The subject matter is all the same.

Easy listening but average. A couple standouts: All my loving, Roll Over Beethoven, Mr Postman

You can really hear the influence of 50s rock n roll in this one. Probably my least favorite Beatles album but still some rock solid pop rock and nice melodies

Well they can't all be good

Even great masters have to start somewhere. There are cringey moments and it's mostly standard boy band 60's pop, but if you listen close, you can see the hints of where it's all going (3.5)

The worst Beatle album.

Al principio ni siquiera quería escuchar este álbum. Es decir, ¿De tantos álbumes de los Beatles y tenia que escuchar justamente este? Pero a ser honesta, es sumamente entretenido. No diría que he encontrado una joya, pero agradezco haberlo escuchado. Le daría un 71 de 100, esta bastante bueno. Aunque no lo volvería a escuchar

abbey road came on the autoplay after this and it's actually incredible how much this band changed in not a very long space of time. anyway i love the beatles and it's so fun hearing them do (endearingly worse) versions of the music they were into.

great fun from the ladds, that's what i want!

Another reviewer put this perfectly. The album seems to be saying “we know this is good, but wait for what’s coming next”. It is full of potential but contains everything you would want from early Beatles. How amazing to think it all happened in about 8 years. 4/5

I still don't get the Beatles. Some nice songs and songwriting, but I would never buy this album.

I love all the Beatles albums, but this one never really struck me as an “album you must hear before you die”. I was kind of surprised to see this one make the list as opposed to say, “Please Please Me” or “Help”. There’s 7 Beatles albums total on the list and I think “A Hard Day’s Night” adequately represents the era prior to Rubber Soul. Standout Track: All My Loving

Review - I really didn't expect an early studio album to actually be that good of a listen all the way through. I assumed that the best songs had been singles and the album would be mostly filler, with the only song I really recognised being All My Loving. Glad to have been mistaken. While there are still a lot of covers, some of them (Please Mister Postman, You Really Got A Hold On Me) are very good. Not definitive versions of the songs, but very good. And All My Loving is a hugely sophisticated song for the time, but other than that this is really a Lennon album. It Won't Be Long and All I've Got To Do are both great songs that I'd not listened to before. Score - 7.5/10 Need to listen? YES

John's completely in charge here. Authoritative, confident, sassy. Some lovely wagga wagga guitar. Everyone else is his support band. That's gonna change!

Dès leur 2e album, on comprend que les Beatles s'essouflent et seront bientôt à court d'idées. 4.25 étoiles

definitely better beatles albums but still good

Heard it before. Not gonna lie, this is hardly an essential Beatles album just among their discography, let alone an album you should hear from all of music ever recorded. All My Loving is iconic and I love their cover of Please Mr. Postman but eeeh? 2/5

Great album for it's time. 3.5/5

ahhhh a little too doo-wop for me, sorry!!!!

WITH THE MF BEATLES LG

Great record. The covers really stand out on this one, and Lennon’s voice on you’ve really got a hold on me is unmatched

The Beatles just ain't for me.

Oikein mukava levy tunnetulta bändiltä :)

Hiukan humppaahan tämä on, mutta on siellä muutama kelvollinen biisikin joukossa. 4/5

On nää aikalaisiinsa verrattuna kyl ns. suvereenia tekemistä. Mut lallattelumeininki semisti liiallista viel itelle.

Taisin kovan päivän illasta sanoa, että selvästi paras neljästä ekasta Beatles-levystä, mutta se nyt oli vähän liioittelua. Vaikka tästä puuttuukin yhtä terävä kärki kun edellisestä (pl. All My Loving), niin onhan tää tasaisempi kattaus, ja sitä myöten pääsee aika lähelle Hard day's nightia. Aika viatonta meininkiä, ja hauska ajatella että kuinka leveällä pensselillä sitä sitten myöhemmin maalattiinkaan. Helppo nelkku, eihän tästä voi olla diggailematta.

Maybe I should have taken the Beatles appreciation class back in college.

Only the beetles can sing about love and missing someone and at the end beclike “now give me money”

What I hum when I think of "old" Beatles

Its ok.

great album

4.5

The first two Beatles albums tend to feel different every time I listen to it critically over when I just put them on for pleasure... I notice their flaws. I've often said for the most part their originals are better than their covers, which is probably why I have *PPM*, *WTB* & *BFS* as my least favorite true Beatles albums (I don't count YSSt). Side one is loaded with 5 to 2 Originals, Side two is not too much with 4 to 3 covers and the best song on that is a cover "Money (That's What I Want)" Quite honestly I think my illusion that I like this one better than please please me is because the American version is 11 to 1 originals. And introduced the Beatles strengths right off the bat. Also this album starts off with the three original songs, "It Won't Be Long", "All I've Got To Do", and "All My Loving", that shows their growth in just a little more than a few months (the rest feel like they were quickly written to make the album including George's first released penned track and a toss off they originally gave The Stones) Also continuity-wise they're 63 albums feel more perfunctory, start strong end strong, fill in the rest. That would greatly improve throughout their 64 and 65 albums. But then again that's me being nitpicky over an album that quite frankly is still a stellar listen from end to end... especially on a casual listen (8.85) ★★★★

Among The Beatles worst albums, but they are still The Beatles. 3.5 stars

3.5/5

*With The Beatles* displays some flashes of great songwriting -- I probably like the originals here better than *Please Please Me* -- but also some songs that are kind of half-assed and some covers that didn't need to be done. Still, it's great for 1963. Highlights are "It Won't Be Long", "All I've Got to Do", "All My Loving", and "I Wanna Be Your Man" (Ringo's a secret weapon on these early Beatles albums). The covers of "Please Mr. Postman" and "Money" are also pretty solid. Light 4 stars.

It’s probably their least essential studio album but as with all Beatles albums other than the Yellow Submarine soundtrack and Pete Best’s Best Of The Beatles which isn’t even a Beatles album anyway and just contains Pete Best formerly of The Beatles and his own backing combo it’s all worth checking out before you die and this one in particular is very good for shaking your moptop to. Best tracks All My Loving and Ringo’s star turn and toss off to the Rolling Stones I Wanna Be Your Lover.

Day 39 It's a shame colour wasn't invented for The Beatles until 1964 Fav track: Don't Bother Me

Idk for me the Beatles start at Rubber Soul. Obv this was so radical at the time but it hasn’t aged nearly as well as 1965-1970 Beatles.

This is like absolute stock baseline Beatles, fine but not overly interesting.

I used to snob this album like some here, saying how radical it was for the time but everything starts from Rubber Soul. But to me, you can’t love a pop rock album of today and class it higher than « With The Beatles ». This album is the genesis of pretty much all the popular music of today. The melodies are class. Sure there are covers on here but they rock as heck. This is THE Beatlemania album with the 2 first Capitol US albums IMO. Is it a perfect album? Not by any means, but it deserves at least a 4 for having pushed the boundaries of music and influencing pretty much everything that you call popular music today. I think out of the Beatles albums pre Rubber Soul, Beatles For Sale might be their worst.

Déjà écouté avant. Un choix étrange d'album à inclure dans cette liste... Certes les Beatles restent les Beatles, et même un album secondaire de leur part reste loin au-dessus de la moyenne de leur époque. Mais quitte à inclure un album de leur "early period", pourquoi ne pas plutôt choisir leur tour premier (autant revenir aux sources pour de vrai) ou Help!, leur premier véritable chef d'œuvre, qui annonce la seconde partie de leur carrière, celle où leur génie explose réellement ? Sur With the Beatles, ils s'appuient encore sur de très nombreuses reprises, et leurs compositions originales restent marquées par le son de la pop 60's et du merseybeat, exécuté avec talent et précision, mais sans réelle innovation. La définition d'un album mineur dans une carrière pourtant courte et géniale. Top : It Won't Be Long Flop : Little Child

Aggressively basic and average music. However, it is music I thoroughly enjoyed; really good listening. Please Mister Postman was my fav song of the album. All I've Got To Do (my fav first listen) and You Really Got A Hold On Me were my other highlights

4/5

secret banger?

Fun and loose, almost garage rock. Deceptively simple, this is not just 3 chord punk, there is a little more to it, but the youthful energy and bare bones production give add to the charm.

Not my favorite Beatles record, but still enjoyed. I didn't know they had a version of "Please Mister Postman!"

Cute and unpolished

2/5 Never realized this album was half covers, probably because I haven’t listened to it all the way through since I was a kid.

I have never really liked the beatles as a group and all I know of them is mostly against my will. I tried to be objective for this album, but it just felt aggressively mid. It was fine and not terrible, just not good either.

The Beatles are a band that are usually a hit or miss for me, and this album was... a mix of both. There's some good songs, but some are just so boring that I can't help but give it a 3. I had hoped for something better given how loved they are on this site.

Behoorlijk zoetsappig

ok zweites album 63, postman!.c

Peak classic era Beatles. I tend to like their more experimental side more, but obviously still a great album.

Weird to realise it's never heard this. I've listened to every album form Help onwards. You can hear why they were so successful, but it's definitely not as interesting as their later albums. The harmonies are great though. The stuff drawing on Motown and girl groups is better than the rock and roll.

I mean it's early Beatles, just classic 60s songs, nothing groundbreaking yet, as far as I can tell.

I really can't argue with this one as being great. The first Beatles album that I reviewed for 1001 was Abbey Road and I find this one to be so much better. This is a catchy, feel-good album that was a joy to listen to. Abbey Road is the classic Beatles poster hung into dorms and teen bedrooms in movies. This is my kind of Beatles though.

It's good to hear them at their perhaps worst. There are some bangers on here but this is the first Beatles album I've heard that just feels like a collection of ideas that they pressed record on. Could be much better. Til there was you, postman, all my loving all great; then there's perfectly fine fodder like Beethoven and you really got a hold on me; and then a lot of this really does feel like they had 20 minutes to record a song and got it out and moved on. She's got the devil in her heart but she's an angel sent to me? Not a second time is maybe the most uninspired Beatles song I've ever heard. DOG YOUR LOVING GIVES ME A THRILL BUT IT DOESN'T PAY THE BILLS? Ass. At least they buried these last three songs at the end.

Been listening to a lot of garage and psyche, and so few bands play with this light of a touch, but still with aggression and so much energy. Supreme confidence. The originals are mostly great, covers are all great.

It's pretty good, but after a while, it's like... we get it.

First thought: This is completely average. It's ok, a few good tracks, a couple of bad tracks, the rest just forgettable. The problem is that average for a normal album is just bad for The Beatles. It's pretty obvious they haven't completely figured themselves out at this point, but there are a few flashes of what they will turn into in there. It's a bit better than a 3, but not enough to bump it to a 4. 3.5

⭐️Don’t Bother Me

saranno anche canzonette ma i beatles sono sempre i beatles e mi mettono felicità

Crazy che i beatles prima di revolver suonassero sempre così

This was an interesting one! The Beatles here to my (non musical historian ear) still sound very conventional. Lots of very straightforward love songs- kind of an interesting point in their discography since we know how creative they are going to get. In terms of the album on its own merits, it’s a fun, light, boppy listen. Also helped me realise my speaker wires needed to be fixed because all the vocals were in the right speaker. Handy!

It’s a fun, early Beatles album. I don’t love their early stuff as much but was still a really good catchy album

John is just on another level vocally on this record. Curiously, Paul seems to lack confidence and seems more concerned with technical perfection over personality. John, on the other hand, is bursting with energy and sex appeal. He's practically the lead singer. While John is howling, Paul focuses on annunciation (which, incidentally, works great for backing vocals). The originals are awesome and the covers are perfectly chosen (in particular, the choice of 'TIl There Was You' was a great choice for this version of Paul). I would have loved to hear John sing 'Roll Over Beethoven', though. As usual, Ringo's song is the worst one, but at least it's uptempo. The stereo mix is abysmal and almost unlistenable.

The Beatles before they’re The Beatles, ya know? It’s some really good ideas here but this sounds like you’re typical 60s diner rock. Not my favorite.

The Love Song Album, yeah. The sound of infatuation and yearning, yeah? It's a little inconsistent in the way some tracks feel concretely early 60s but others hold up really well, yeah (yeah). I really appreciate how this contributed to their journey, but being honest I wouldn't return to most of these tracks. Yeah.

There’s nothing really wrong with this album, it’s just not the Beatles I ever feel like going back to. The songs are catchy, the harmonies are great and you can obviously hear why they became such a huge deal, but this early sound doesn’t do nearly as much for me as the experimentation and variety of their later albums. There are one or two songs I’d revisit, but as a full album I just don’t see myself ever choosing this when there are so many better Beatles albums available. Good album, just not one I need

This is a very good record, very underrated. This and A Hard Day's Night are my kinda of early Beatles records.

I get it. It's the Beatles. Pop music royalty and all that, but this album is just lame. It's not the good experimental Beatles that did weird shit or hated each other and wrote good music. This is the early stuff where the high point is All my Loving. That's the high point. This is just pop drivel that makes me wonder HOW they became so huge. For decades I had sworn it was a payola thing. Pay the stations to play them, bribe some newspapers for a fluff piece on them. Get the tabloids to start doing their crap and it pays off. Maybe were were all just super lame in the early 60's.

As with A Hard Day’s Night, I was surprised how many of these songs I didn’t already know. I think this record is generally a bit better than the aforementioned, but not as good as their more mature work. Incidentally, still waiting for a Chuck Berry record on this list…

Booooorrrinnnngggg

Hard to criticise as it's great, but it's probably the worst Beatles album. Really enjoyed it though and it shows what a tight band they were in the early days.

The younger Beatles have an undeniable charm to them, and it’s fun listening and imagining the crowds, the squeaky clean images, and just four dudes pal-ing around. Musically perhaps not as interesting as their later work, but still undeniably good.

Incredible album. Pure genius

early beatles is overlooked

Another classic

I like their later albums better, but there are a few decent songs here. Lots of remakes. I know I'm supposed to scream like a schoolgirl because it's the greatest band that ever existed, but I'm just not that excited about early Beatles records.

Expected this to be a mediocre early Beatles album but there’s something almost magical about it

Mám rád ich neskoršie albumy. Tento považujem za ich slabší.

30/08/2026 I guess this is on here because of its cultural-historical significance. I think I might be just a few decades too late to really dig this the same way.

Back when they were only babies... it's fun! It's kind of cute! All My Loving is fantastic by any standard; It Won't Be Long Now and I Wanna Be Your Man are a great time; Not A Second Time, the whole "Aeolian cadence"/Mahler thing aside (who knows what the hell that guy was on about lmao), does genuinely have a pretty interesting vocal line, though the piano solo kind of... sucks, unfortunately. You kind of wish they'd done that one a little later in their career when they knew a bit more about how to arrange things creatively and effectively? Oh well. Anyway. Yeah, I mean. I'm not actually sure whether I'd rate this higher or lower if it didn't happen to be a Beatles album because, on the one hand, by virtue of having to compete with their post-Rubber Soul output, this one's got to face standards it can't possibly live up to, but, on the other, the mere fact that it IS a Beatles album makes me feel a possibly unwarranted sentimentality about it... Well, not much point in agonizing over it. Let's go with four stars and call it a day

I love the Beatles, but this should not have been included on the list. It’s probably my least favorite Beatles record Shit, even their worst is still pretty good. Take my damn 3 and get outta here

The Beatles are damn near classical music at this point.

The Beatles are one of the few bands that even a non trained ear can pick out the contributions of each member. A plus pop rock album, doesn’t get five because there are some meh songs but otherwise it’s perfect.

Pleasant

I just don't like the Beatles on a personal level. I know I'm biased,and that does not necessarily have anything to do with their music, bu5 it's my ranking and I do what I want.

Album #257 The Beatles: With The Beatles One of The Beatles' best early albums. It sounds a lot cleaner production-wise than their other efforts, and their melodies had really started to reach the next level. There are still some aspects that are lacking which weren’t present in Rubber Soul, such as the amount of covers; since while the early blues and rock songs are great, they aren’t as good as The Beatles' original material. A lot of people who write off The Beatles' early albums are really missing out though; hardly a bad tune here, and the highs show that The Beatles' talent didn’t just appear overnight. Best Songs: Till There Was You, All My Loving, All I’ve Got to Do Worst Song: Little Child Score out of 10: 7.5

A solid, workmanlike slice of early‑60s pop. The band is still in its bar‑band phase, padding the runtime with covers and playing to the room rather than the studio. There’s no grand artistic statement here, no self‑mythologizing, just a tight Merseybeat group doing what they were good at: brisk love songs, a couple respectable rockers, and a whole lot of pre‑ambition charm. It’s competent, it’s unpretentious, and it moves quickly enough that the lightweight material never overstays its welcome. They haven’t gotten full of themselves yet, which helps, but they’re still The Beatles, so no full marks; they’re not doing everything there is to do in music, just everything a hardworking 1963 pop act needed to get an LP out the door. My Rating: 4/5

its fine 6.5/10 best song - till there was you

It’s definitely not the best Beatles album but still a very good album that had covers in there

im just going to give each beatles album a 1 from now on

Haven’t listened to early Beatles in a while. Second Beatles album on this list I’m encountering. This is the early 60s rock and roll sound that they later moved away from. It’s really pop sounding. It’s done really good here, but it’s not what would make the Beatles THE BEATLES. Funny even all these years later, it’s definitely catchy at times and you see how it was popular. Even if it’s a way lesser version of the band that they turned into. There’s a defined sound throughout and a lot of songs have the same vibe. Simple pop/rock and roll love songs. Til There Was You is the first thing to really have different sound, acoustic Spanish style guitars. The covers are all fun. Roll Over Beethoven is an interesting take on the classic. Hold Me Tight sounds like it’s straight from That Thing You Do. You Really Got a Hold on Me is a good cover too. Feels like the first half was the stronger half of the album. Feels like a lot of filler to get an album out. But it’s still fun! So fun. Some of the better songs: It Won’t Be Long, All My Loving, Don’t Bother Me, Please Mr Postman, I Wanna Be Your Man, Money At its best it’s fun early Beatles. Clearly an influential important moment, even if it’s not their best album. And crucial to the history of rock music and the Beatles as a whole. But it’s not anywhere near their best and doesn’t feel like even the best for his era of Beatles. Was debating going down to a 3, but this is still The Beatles, one of my favorite bands of all time. Probably going 4.

excited for more Beatles albums

Yeah it's the Beatles but every other Beatles album is better

High energy, solid pop songs and good choice of R&B covers. I usually don't really love the early Beatles, but this sounded pretty good today. Sure, some of the songs, at less than 3 minutes, still felt a bit stretched, but good work.

Young, hungry Beatles. A lot of little gems here, like “Till There Was You.” Great listening experience.

A jolly little listen.

typical beatles, definitely not the least favorite. Solid 2. Interesting people who respect the beatles seem to not think too highly of this one. Doesnt seem much different to me than any of the others.

Day960 - i didn’t used to think about their greatness but it’s undeniable.

Quite nice guitars, and the lyrics are okay. Little Child is WAY too much. On the flipside, Please Mister Postman is also *a lot*, but in a positive way. A bit hit, a bit miss.

It’s early Beatles, they’re changing popular music but it’s not my favorite

Very meh. Feels like a sophomore slump, they are trying to sound like The Beatles, if that makes sense. “All my loving“ is the only standout of their originals on the album. It’s insane that hard days night came out one year later, it feels 1,000,000 miles away.

Its the beatles. But maybe he beatles at thier least consequential. At least to me. Im sure all those teenage girls screaming about them at the time in those black and white videos would say otherwise but for me this is still the beatles but in that boy band era. They do lots of popular things just in their way. Nothing too out of the ordinary for the time though. Just at a pretty high quality. Just the ideas aren't that wild yet. They still haven't gone to India and taken butt loads of lsd. They are just a couple of dudes from Liverpool with the same haircut. I did get a couple of saves here but mostly songs not written by John or Paul, which is strange. Some covers here are good ones. Really rhe only must listen is all my loving. Thats about the highest high this record has. And its good. Not something or get back but good. Thats the main takeaway. Its good just not what I think of when I hear the beatles. Just good

Chorus Bridge Repeat Cover song Chorus Bridge Repeat Clumsy guitar solo

Shoot I feel like I really like the Beatles more than I realizes

Not my fav Beatles album, and I definitely prefer the later stuff, but it would be criminal to rate this lower than 4.

I am sorry but no

Honestly... banger

Beatles: always good. "Till There Was You", "Roll Over Beethoven", and "Money" are amazing.

Me gustan!

The Beatles' second album, with it's iconic cover art, I'd say, it's not as good as their debut Plaease Please Me from the same year. It still showcases the young band divided between cover versions and originals, as good ones at that. Who doesn't love classics like "All My Loving" or "It Won't Be Long"? Of course, better albums and songs would follow very very soon, and even the debut trumps this one in terms of immediacy and it's pure, wonderous whimsy vibe. Key tracks: It Won't Be Long All I've Got to Do All My Loving Till There Was You I Wanna Be Your Man

Ja, bet ne

Šis nav no maniem mīļākajiem albu:)miem "All I've Got To Do" gan ir 10/10 dziesma

Early Beatles as a combo, some very familiar songs

I found it surprising how many of these songs I've never heard before, and I think of myself as a Beatles fan. I guess I've never thought of this as a "real" Beatles album, given that most of it wasn't written by them. But it contains so much of what's great about them - the arrangements are so fun: the inventive bvs on Please Mr Postman, great lead guitar lines, inventive doowop harmonies, often strange drumming choices (the constant floor tom playing all the way to the climax in Money (That's What I Want)), and Ringo suggesting absolutely delighted to take his turn on I Wanna Be Your Man. Sure, some of it is raw and shambolic - Lennon's double tracks, the thin handclaps on Roll Over Beethoven, and the weird stereo separation (obviously not George Martin's fault) - but it feels live, and captures some of the magic of the Cavern/Hamburg. And it's ace.

Fun but not the best beatles

I like the sound of The Beatles from the 60s, but after the 3rd love song I was losing my patience with this album. 3/10, only song I'd replay is Please Mister Postman.

I mean cmon it's the beatles I haven't listened to this album though still great

Well, my right ear enjoyed the vocals in this album. Jokes aside, I'm not sure if it was an audio mixing decision or what but I was not a fan of how the vocals were essentially isolated to just my right earbud. Maybe it sounds better on vinyl. The last song was a breath of fresh air when the vocals actually came through both ears, and I really enjoyed it. Not just for that reason, but it certainly helped. It also is apparently a cover of another song, which I didn't realize. Beyond that, it's the Beatles, so it's not bad. I looked up some rankings of their albums however and I wasn't surprised to see this near the bottom of most. It has the sound of early Beatles, when they were still a young, energetic boy band. Their harmonies are impressive and none of the songs are bad, but when I did a Beatles tribute marching band show in college, I'm not surprised none of these songs were included. It doesn't have any giant Beatles heavy hitters, in my opinion. I did really enjoy their cover of Please Mister Postman, and Till There Was You—which I also didn't realize was a cover. There's a lot of covers in this album, apparently. It's a good album, but it's not the Beatles work that made them the *Beatles*, which I'm sure I'll be eventually getting to. I'm glad to get this album so early in my journey, before their later more popular work. It'll be interesting to see how their sound evolves.

An early Beatles record featuring mostly tracks I haven’t heard. While nothing really jumped out, it is a Beatles record and you can hear the groundwork for what was coming.

Really fun, tight album. Great drumming.

8/10

57

I mean they're the frickin Beatles, even their less good material is still fire. They definitely locked in on A Hard Day's Night, but this is still very solid!

I’m glad the Beatles evolved past this

I feel sort of the same way about this album as I did about A Hard Day's Night: having been introduced to The Beatles with their more mature albums first, it's pretty interesting from a historical point of view to go back and listen to their early stuff. While I realize this one came first, I feel like I already gave AHDN its 4 for historical relevance. That factor aside, it would be dishonest to give this a high rating when, especially as an album experience, it's nothing that grabs me all that much. Don't mistake that for hate though! I do hear the excellent songwriting on display, and you could probably find half the songs here on a Best Of Beatles playlist. Truly, I would never speak ill of the lads who would go on to give us Rubber Soul and Abbey Road. Standouts: I Should Have Known Better • Tell Me Why • Can't Buy Me Love • Any Time At All • I'll Cry Instead

Definitely not a Beatles album I regularly listen to (or think anyone else really should, for that matter). I think the covers period of their discography was weak because frankly I don't think they usually elevated them above the original. I DO like Please Mr. Postman on this one. However, their original compositions are so fresh sounding and you can seriously tell that this band is going somewhere special.

I'm not a Beatles fan I didn't grow up in a Beatles household. So the Beatles Nostalgia doesn't exist for me. Anyway, I think there were some songs that were better than others such as "It Won't Be Long," and "All I've Got to Do,". But the covers were really jarring "Please Mister Postman," and "Roll Over Beethoven," and not in a good way. This album reminded me of how CloClo brought a lot of English songs to the French language (such as the Beatles). I guess The Beatles were attempting to do that but like crossing the Atlantic instead and it was not necessary to make a more "British accessible?" version? It wasn't a bad album but it's not my taste and I'm sure there are other Beatles albums I would like more.

The Beatles were, up until now while partaking in this here project, one of the few bands I had actually listened to. I generally enjoyed what I heard of their greatest hits, so my expectations for this album were considerably high. After listening, I would say despite being one of their earlier albums, and hence considerably lacking in the degree of creative spirit that was signature to their most critically acclaimed compositions, it wasn't terrible. A letdown for sure, and not holding much above mediocre, but not terrible nonetheless. Perhaps worth a listen solely to see the band's progression over the years. The kind of music that plays at a café at breakfast, and when everyone stops talking at the table, makes you stop and wonder if the atmosphere would be better without it. Solid 3.4/5

It's fun to hear the Beatles in these early phases, but I'm not a fan of thos Beatles era.

I mean it's The Beatles; there are only a few musical acts that have truly changed the direction of pop culture. You need to do at least one playthrough of their entire discography if you want to truly understand music as an art form. Does that mean this album is that good? No. The playing is all very nice, and you can see the start of some of the great songwriting they will have in their later albums. But overall this is just a generic 60s rock record. There's nothing special here other than The Beatles. This isn't something I am gonna come back to again.

This early version of the Beatles is groovy, poppy, melodic, and occasionally bluesy. I prefer their later work myself ("Abbey Road" was quite good), but I can definitely see the appeal of this. Though I will say all of the songs were mostly similar to me.

Grew up on this album and everything Beatles. Amazing sophomore effort with several all time classics. Definitely love this album.

when I say I neither love nor hate the Beatles, this album is a reason why I don't love them. Meh. Boring. Th:e bright side? No song over 3:01, so they're over quick.2.0

A nice bunch of songs building the foundation of what was to come not there best they were still finding themselves but still a fun album

How did they get away with the somg Little Child??

classic for a reason!

yknow I don't usually see the hype with the beetles but this album is pretty fire already had a song added

Black Beatles in the xityyy

dont care

I mean it’s a classic album. I think I’d probably think three stars, but since this album had “Till There Was You” that changes things lol

you know what I'm surprised at this rating too. I just didn't like it all that much which is strange because I was really expecting to

Fine, not a huge fan of the Beatles but come on, it's the Beatles

guitar groups are a fad, they'll never catch on. 4/5.

"Oh, I'm so edgy. I give The Beatles one star." Grow up. Is this their best? Of course not. Is this still a must-listen album to know anything at all about 20th century popular music? Duh.

Solid if a little repetitive. There were some songs that stood out and it was interesting to hear the roots of some common tropes

no more beatles 🫩

While I'd never listened to this album all the way through before, I knew a lot of the songs. This is the second Beatles album I've had come up on this list, and I'm sure there will be plenty more. I am not anywhere close to being an expert on the Beatles and their music, but this album is one that seems a little questionable to make the list. From what I read, it was rushed being put together because it was at a time that groups were expected to release more than one album a year, and it sounds rushed. Almost half the album is covers. Nice to listen to and some classics on there, but not sure it belongs on the list when you look at the whole rest of their catalog.

Even the greatest bands of all time have to have a clunker. This is the Fab Four's. Its best songs have nothing to do with Lennon and McCartney, and the ripping energy of Please Please Me is nowhere to be found. Sure, they're a tight-knit band and improving on their sound. But it's at a sacrifice to their talent; they're being over-marketed and underdeveloped here. And most of all, it's just kinda boring. There's a lot of other Beatles records that could replace this one and be just fine.

I have a soft spot for early Beatles It's all kind of overshadowed by their later work, but early British R&B has a lot of nice energy to it. It's filled with a variety of classics and has a great flow to it, despite not really being from the Album era. That said, this particular listen was kind of ruined by the awful Stereo-mixing that pans every instrument and vocal to one side of the speakers. The Mono version that isn't on streaming is a much better way to enjoy this.

08/08 Meh. Never liked the beatles. All their songs sound the same

Boring w/e

Nog ni even introspectief als hun latere albums. Duidelijkere invoelden van blues rock. 1.leuke back and forth vocals. Goede intro. Favoriet 2.nogal saai 3. Catchy 4. Harmonica solo. Repetitieve chorus 5. Nogal saai 6. Leuk. Catchy 7. Blues rock cover 8. Lijkt al meer op latere liedjes van hun 9. Saai 10 saai 11. Minst lievelings lied 12.chemestry tussen John en Paul hun stemmen 13. Leuk liedje 14.leuk lied. Cv outro

This is probably at the bottom of my list of best Beatles albums, but it should not be overlooked. Don’t Bother Me is one of George’s best songs, even if it’s at the bottom of his list.

Fair play to them, I think they did alright in the end. I know this is a classic, I understand that people went wild for it and it formed pop music as we know it. I know all of this. But do I enjoy the sound of early Beatles? If I didn't know all this.. idk man.. idk

It's like, not the best Beatles but so nostalgic for me that I still really like it, still lots of filler but just so mad to think about how quickly they went from this to really like inventing most of modern guitar music. Big up.

I can see why this elevated the Beatles to a whole other level. The musicianship is definitely a step up from their debut. The songwriting is strong but it's all still a bit too fluffy for my personal taste. I do really appreciate when they work in what sounds like garage rock though, Don't Bother Me is a good example of this. This track stands out as my favourite on this album. Money also has some good grime to it as well. Little Child is a bit creepy so I kinda hate that track and Mr. Postman is a dumb song. Dude, she ain't writing you back, move the fuck on you sad sap. Pretty unbalanced album for me overall. 3 stars

I used to think I was a Rolling Stones person but now I think I'm a Beatles person. Yet, nobody will let me marry their daughter.

Nothing ground-breaking to set them apart from the zillion other bands doing this at the time, but undeniably a tight rhythm section with beautiful harmonies. You know what, I think these kids might go on to achieve something.

woof. first beetles album I've listened to and I'll be surprised when I hear a worse one. reminiscent of repeat stuff by bo burnham and somehow less enjoyable. not bad instrumentals

Pretty good songs, with some hints of what's to come, but mostly a little forgettable

Because the Beatles

Solid no standout songs

Lyssnade med en hörlur mannen det va fucked up.

Not many songs really shine on this album. A handful of well written songs and a lot of standard filler.

A couple ok tunes but not for me overall.

The Beatles second album, before they found drugz: With The Beatles is a clean cut, by the numbers 60s pop rock record that, while not revolutionary in the sense of some later Beatles albums are, was certainly trending in the direction. The biggest band in the world’s influence is nearly endless, from having multiple singers (all four get a turn on this album) to their relatable and perhaps escapist lyrics (happy fun times) that really vibed with people of the day, up through the present. Their ability to create timeless music was prescient, not knowing what would come 60 years down the road, especially when they only lasted a decade themselves, but here we are, and still talking about the Beatles. Half of this album, as was the style at the time, were just Motown covers, including Chuck Berry. For whatever reason they seemed obsessed with that sound on this album, but Ironically it’s Ringo’s song “I wanna be your man” that I felt had the most energy and movement of the originals. It’s a decent album, but far from their best. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I prefer the more drug-induced music.

Nice

i think one of the great appeals of the beatles story is they span the era before and after the counterculture movement, representing the change in the zeitgeist from a fearful and conformist postwar milieu to a hopeful era of possibility for a better world, when as thompson said the boomers "had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave." at least until "the wave finally broke and rolled back." also there's a transition era where the beatles were just the kinks. this album is a firm showing of the part of the 60s where everything still sucked. i cant stand hearing them do motown covers, guess some imitation of black america had to happen for the british invasion to come to be though

Meh. Nothing to write home about. It just made me want to listen to Chuck Berry instead.

One of my favorite things about The Beatles is how all my favorite songs are spread out across their discography. That being said, this may be their most nostalgic album for me, personally. My dad often used to put this record on in our living room in the evenings when I was very young. It definitely has a special place in my heart.

Asking me to rate the Beatles again?

The first British boy band album

Honestly the Beatles I prefer.

Two Beatles albums in a row! Wow! I actually didn’t know every song on this album. I do have my parent’s vinyls of Meet the Beatles and The Beatles Second Album which are the American equivalent of this album. My dad crossed out all the songs on the back of the albums that weren’t written by the Beatles and wouldn’t listen to those. He was so weird. Unlike my dad, I did like some of their covers on this album (Please Mister Postman, Till There Was You, and You Really Got a Hold on Me). My favorite songs on this album were Hold Me Tight, All My Loving, and It Won't Be Long.

Not one of my favorite Beatles albums, but I assume I have others to come in this project. I'm actually doing a little project making a Beatles "best of" playlist for myself. The only songs from this album I had added previously were "All My Loving" and "You Really Got A Hold On Me". Listening this time, I really noticed how good John Lennon's voice sounds on "All I've Got To Do," so I added that one too :) I probably won't come back to most of the covers, but it was nice enough listening to it again.

por mais que eu AME beatles esse é literalmente o disco que eu menos gosto deles..... mas vou dar 5 pq acho injusto king crimson e chic estarem com média 5 no meu perfil e minha banda favorita não, então SHHHHHH! MANIPULANDO MÉDIAS!!!! apesar de tudo, o album tem uma das minhas músicas favoritas deles ("all my loving" você vai ser sempre famosa) e um cover perfeito de "please mr postman". se você quer um álbum que encapsule melhor essa fase iê iê iê, apenas ouça o "please please me" (que deveria estar na lista ao invés do "with the beatles") ou o "a hard day's night" (que felizmente tá no livro <3)

Well, it's the Beatles. But so far, I've liked this album the least out of all the ones I've heard. I'd tell they're just getting started on their smash hits.

Like every Beatles album, some all time classics and a dud here and there. Potentially the most soulful-voiced Lennon period.

Not my favorite but there are some bright spots. Very early Beatles, nothing stands out to me in particular. I like the cover of Till There Was You though, Paul's great there

Nice album, vintage vibes I liked songs: It won’t be long All my loving Till there was you

I'm not a big fan or anything but I knew a few of the songs and it was good.

Every Beatles album is great but does there need to be more than one from their early days on this list?

Бимблз

Good! Still pretty early on in the Beatles timeline but still decent. Was surprised by the number of covers. Still an enjoyable listen.

Very average even for Beatles

Great early Beatles album! Has a lot of great covers and some great early Beatles work. There are better Beatles albums out there but this captures the essence of early Beatlemania!

3.5, rounding up

A: The Beatles gick från att vara roliga småbarn med whimsy musik till lovey-dovey tonåringar. Joo. Lovar att hela albumet va en lång låt som hette "Hold me tight/er" (int ens Hold me tight av Bts...) mid 2-3/5 (B-tier) D: Lowkey helt rolig och whimsy om man inte brukar lyssna på sångtext (en välsignelse i detta fallet). Temat skulle ha kunnat variera liite mera. Temat + namnet får det att kännas som ett pr-projekt för att dra möjligast mycket pengar från unga som är galna i dem (sådär Kiss your favourite Beatle-core). Like sådär "med detta album kan DU tänka dig hur det skulle vara att vara med din favoritBeatle". Blev lite ruined om man tänker på att de alla slog sina hustrun. En mening här emellan så att det inte verkar som att vitsordet har något med föregående mening att göra. 4/5.

Ok

Fino, clásico.

is this album not very relevant because of its repetitive songs? since people value the beatles for their craziness between songs in the same album idk

The Beatles - the foundation of modern pop music. This early release may seem dated and pale in comparison to their later work, but anyhow, without this album we wouldn't have got what they gave to the world of music.

An okay Beatles record. A few standouts and a chunk of forgettable love songs. It’s kinda hard to believe this is the same band that made Revolver. Best: It Won’t Be Long Worst: Little Child

I listened to the remastered album and the mixing was just dumb. In most of the songs the vocals were drowned out by the instruments. Anyway, the songs were pretty charming, but this wasn't exactly peak Beatles. I have a soft spot for All My Loving though. I'd say that's one of their best early songs. It's too bad they didn't include I Want To Hold Your Hand on this album as they had recorded it in the same sessions.

I was pleasantly surprised by this album. I expected not to recognise many songs, but I knew more than I thought. I liked that the songs were short and catchy, and 'All My Loving' and 'All I've Got to Do' were my favourites. I also enjoyed hearing John Lennon's voice. Some of the covers made me prefer the original versions, and 'Little Child' hasn't aged well for me, but overall this was a really enjoyable listen.

Oh wow a really early Beatles album... Roll Over Beethoven, made famous by the dog movie of course. A lot of these other songs I know well from Across the Universe.

I just don't like the Beatles and find them a bit forgettable 3

good album first listening to the beatle i'm not disapointed

I bought this as a Beatles infatuated 14 year old with my birthday money in February 1988. I then listened to it constantly. Within two years I'd managed to get my hands on Rubber Soul, Revolver, the White Album and Abbey Road so I didn't anymore. A pity, because it's decent, and crucial in the story of music in the 60s. One of two keystone recordings in 1963, the other being Dylan's Freewheelin. Within two years the Beatles released Rubber Soul and Dylan had gone electric. An essential part of that transformation.

Awesome early Beatles who only got better over time.

I mean it's only their second album.. my goats weren't really cooking yet but despite that I really love a lot of these tracks and it scratches an itch in my brain.

Not sure why but it didn’t impact me as much as their other albums

bad beatles album is still a 3 it just doesn't have that magic yet

nothing bad could possibly happen if you leave your dog in a hot car

Three hits ("All My Loving", "Please Mister Postman", "Roll Over Beethoven") plus a solid rest of the typical Beatles- sound. Great Band, great musicians and of course influential, but somehow it is really enough Beatles on this list for me. 3,5

Meh. It’s the Beatles. I know what they sound like. I don’t choose to listen to them regularly and when I do it’s the latter stuff instead of this poppy nonsense.

Not my jam tbh

obvio q discazo sooo hoooold me tight, mi taig, tunaaii tunaiiiiiii iiiits youUuUuuU only YuuUuuUuu

I like dont bother me. This album is fine but nothing crazy, I can see how it would be contreversial for the time. Not bad though I would listen again. I think I need to give it another chance.

One of the lesser good Beatles albums. It’s still good, but only a few hits. Favourites: All My Loving, Please mr Postman and Roll Over Beethoven.

Pretty good but not a 4. 3.5

Load of covers done well but far from the top Beatles

Meh for what the Beatles are

Fun listening, but kinda tuned out for most of it. Lot of samey stuff again. Feel I didn't give it a fair shake, but my being bored by an album is it's fault, not mine

Lekker oud

hardcore beach boys

It was fine. Didn't do it for me like other Beatles albums I have heard.

Such an incredible start to their journey, I had never listened to this and I am happy I have

You may love The Beatles or not, but it's impossible not to acknowledge their contribution to rock music (and especially to the British genre) — those "ears" still stick out twenty years after their breakthrough, forty years later, and I think they'll continue to do so for another fifty years. What can I say? Their second album, recorded four months after their first, is pure Britpop. The melodies, the vocal harmonies — somehow, the Beatles almost immediately made these moves timeless. As was tradition at the time, half the album is cover versions of rock 'n' roll standards of the time; frankly, the readings aren't the most engaging. But the original songs are mostly quite good, and each member shines — even Ringo Starr manages to sing on the almost punk-rock "I Wanna Be Your Man." K-pop bands will later take note of this pattern. A good start to a short, but legendary journey!

earlier beatles is less my vibe, but it’s still nice to have on, realistically this would get a 3.5 bc cohesively it’s nice and i would listen to it on like a sunny morning, but i don’t love a lot of the songs and none stuck out to me super strongly

Let's all be real, this is not The Beatles in the top form

It’s not bad it’s just not very revolutionary either. You know exactly what you’re getting with mid 60s Beatles

What can I Say if it's the beatles?

started this at an awful time lol only listening to a few tracks before i go to bed.. my first formal introduction to the beatles. i’ve obviously heard a bunch of their stuff but ive never intentionally explored their albums. it wont be long- excellent starter quite catchy all i’ve got to do- like the change in beat in the chorus songs are short! all my loving- have i heard this before? don’t bother me- favorite song so far song playing on the stereo in the car when you’re driving through the desert and you get murdered noticing that the songs are short and repetitive.. might bring this up to mr jake next class against his attention span argument little child- didn’t even realize it was a new song till it was over till there was you- the nature of this album makes more sense after realizing it’s only their first..i think it makes it safe to say that i like the album so far but i want more from an album..this is something i’d put on after i’d exhausted most of my options hope this changes please mister postman- like the opening

ME GUSTÓ MUCHO, mi favorito es tilo there’s was you. No es un 10/10 pero le doy 9/10

Short and sweet and full of boppers. No notes.

Rate: 8/10.

It’s. Just fine.

Nicht deren bestes, trotz einiger Klassiker.

Wirkt wie eine EP, die mit Cover-Versionen gestreckt wurde. Aber die sind halt großartig.

Bun

I was never a fan of early Beatles work. That's okay though, they were a completely different pop band back then. This was an okay listen, but it's just not my cup of tea really. 3/5

Un clásico, esa primera etapa de The Beatles se ve muy bien reflejada, las canciones originales son muy buenos temas y los covers muy bien hechos, increíble álbum de mis favoritos de ellos

Gosto muito desse, porém menos do de estreia, que é o Please Please me, e menos que o sucessor tem tbm, A Hard Day’s Night. Mas assim, estamos falando de clássicos aqui, um panteão de álbuns lendários. Um disco “bom” dos Beatles é incomparável com um disco bom de hoje em dia.

There are some great bangers here, but this album compared to the others is reasonable. Still great album with great influence in music today!

Crisp, joyful and rocking. Such a pleasure to listen to.

(6/7) seems like it could be the beginning of something big

The Best!

Fine album.

It’s The Beatles! 1. It Won't Be Long 2. All My Loving 3. You Really Gotta Hold On Me

Oooh my first Beatles album! It was pretty good. Fun, interesting, good songs. Some of the songs had vocals in my right ear only and the instrumentals in the left ear and I hated it. 4/5

Early Beatles, you get exactly what you expect

You look at the track list and think it's all filler but in fact it is basically all killer. The covers are hit or miss - when they're doing a cover of a girl group it's fucking incredible - Till There Was You and Please Mister Postman - and when they try to be little richard it sucks. I mean it's the fucking beatles. Feels like it can't be 5 stars though.

и снова битлз... как же я устал.

A Quiet Night In With The Beatles.

Pretty good.

A few really great songs and some of the less great pop/ love songs of early Beatles. Like a 3.75 for me so rounding up

It’s a little dated but definitely hear in places the band that they will become.

✸ Would you believe... I've never listened to an album by the Beatles before? ✸ "It Won't Be Long" is cool, I like a call and response. ✸ "Don't Bother Me" is miserable and emo, I like it! ✸ I am wondering if I research which Beatle was responsible for each song will finally reveal to me who my favourite is? (like a Buzzfeed quiz). ✸ Most of this is a little too sleepy for me. ✸ "I Wanna Be Your Man" is interesting too, I am sympathetic to the idea of crowds of fans going feral for these men. ✸ "Not A Second Time" giving me "Don't Bother Me" vibes. Is there a spiteful and scorned Beatle, who can be my favourite?

Hard to imagine how exciting this would have sounded in 1963

Even the worst Beatles album is a solid album

I think I only had heard one song of this album previously. Given that it’s the Beatles, was not surprised to find out it was fantastic

Another great Beatles album. Some real hits here, but also a lot of what sounds like radio filler. I guess that's my trouble with the Beatles: they just have so many songs at some point I can't care about them anymore. They end up sounding like the Beatles.

Super uninteresting apart from the numerous covers.

Ef you kvdl

Still finding their footing, but there are hints of what was to come. Amazingly different time in music.

Ok

I knew half of this early Beatles album, generally the hits, rest of it is good. 3.5/5

It’s the Beatles what else is there to say

early beatles not my favorite beatles

Duchschnittliches Beatles Album

This is exactly the era of the Beatles which made me dislike them and wonder what the big deal was. These songs are probably the best of that time period. Not my cup of tea, but if you are FORCED to listen to the Beatles from this era, this would be the album to choose.

This one is fine. I’m not the first to say it but these guys definitely get better later into their career.

Eins der ersten Beatles Alben - sehr klassisch aber angenehm zu hören

It's not what I usually listen to but I think that's what made it stand out a lot to me . All my loving & roll over Beethoven were my favorites on the album ! 4 / 5

Overall very enjoyable, super niche band that makes solid tunes, will be listening to more underground

I had no idea The Beatles recorded a version of "Til There Was You"

thank god these guys did drugs because that's when their music was at its best. but like, pop music in the early 60s was kind of whatever (pejorative) and they did made it gooder. there are too many love songs for my personal tastes (something to say about this era of the Beatles until like Rubber Soul). while the harmonies singing are naturally good, the album is like blowing dust off an old record and your entire face is filled of old soot, and needing at least 3 or 4 showers worth to make yourself clean again. With The Beatles is dryer than unseasoned turkey. A Hard Day's Night is already on the list to cover the pre-drugs Beatles and that album is a better record of 60s love songs. not too many songs or anything to shout out about. it's obviously not the worst album on the list, but definitely the worst Beatles one, so a rating should be shown as more scornful. there you go, a negative Beatles review that doesn't bring up Scaruffi

I am not a huge fan of most of the Beatles work, though I can be fair and acknowledge their construction to music. It will get a 3 taking that into consideration.

Wow

This … is not good. A reminder today why I don’t visit this album like ever. The best song here is a cover of Chuck Berry. 🤷‍♂️. Glad the Beatles got much much much better a few years later.

It's pretty vanilla and a lot of covers - but I don't mind it. Some good ones.

Okay - short but feel like a lot of the songs sounded the same. Novelty wore off quickly. Few classics though

I love the Beatles so much. This is by far the most forgettable album of their career, it has the most duds by far and way too many covers, but the band is so unbelievably talented that it still stands out as some of the best music created in the early 60's. All My Loving is the obvious highlight here, but honorable mention to one of my favorite Ringo vocals in I Wanna Be Your Man. Great start, but the best is yet to come.

Great album (for 1963), and I really love the album cover, too. 5.0/5.0: Iconic

arguably the worst beatles album on the list. that said, it is well produced and well performed and I'd take it over 80% of the list

I'd give it a 3 since it is an important album for rocknroll muzak but i didn't like this very much at all and i'd probably never come back to it. Just covering Black music for the public to be like "Oh joy! those clear boys are doin' it so i don't gotta guiltily listening to the Blacks do it anymore!" It's bland and gimmicky. cheap and trashy!!!!!!!! can't wait to hear a better Beatles album on here - i do really like them but this smells

Is this an album you have to listen to before you die? Absolutely not. My recollection is this band gets much better 😊, but I guess it's a fun album overall.

Pleasant sounding album but lacks interest and no where near as good as their later works

5/5 beatles

need to re listen. i liked it.

they are a band that has such a weight and popularity, that when you listen to them, you can understand why they are so loved and hated. but that weight makes it difficult to properly judge and evaluate their work. Here, i like everything i hear. is what i expected from 60s Beatles. but beyond that sound, what i find intriguing is how there are elements that feel "rebellious" or pretty rockish for a boy band. in some sense, is logical and obvious, but nevertheless, is something i didn't expected that evident. So what i'm trying to say, is that with a cold head, i never really listened to the Beatles. I only listened what other people says of them. and that makes me think that to properly give an opinion, i must listen and talk based only in my assessment. and that is, that i like this album

The Beatles are a little known beat combo from Liverpool area. That’s as much info as I could find on this obscure album plucked from the very depth of the authors collection. It was actually ok, and I’m sure they’ll do well for themselves.

Biitlesiä ja semmostahan se oli. Pari tuttua bizukkaa, leivontamusaa. Ihan okei.
