With The Beatles

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

igual no termine no me atrae

My first time listening to a Beatles album and probably the last. They sound exactly like how i thought they would sound. Meh.

Awesome album

Yeah I get the hype now.

Thought this album would be longer, but I'm not upset about it. Enjoying the whole experience of this album until the very end.

Not sure that I like early Beatles.

Very of a time and place, not any of their best songs on.

A pleasant listen

ранние, наивные битлы. неплохой альбом, но слушать его за один присест тяжеловато - все превращается в кашу. запомнились треки: till there was you (думала, что ее написал Маккартни, очень в его стиле), money (that's what i want) - забавный инструментал, вокал леннона, all i've got to do - очень приятная, конечно all my loving, знала и любила ее даже до полноценного прослушивания альбома, you really got a hold on me - не уверена, чем зацепила, но мне нравится партия фортепиано в начале песни. послушать и ознакомиться определенно стоило, но особенно зная, что есть еще в дискографии битлов, оценить высоко сложно, хоть альбом и приятный. обложка странная. 2/5

I like the Beatles, but this is probably their worst album. Very generic 60s boy-band pop. Almost no change in style. Plus every song is barely 2 minutes, makes every song pass by before you can blink

Anecdote. À la fin des années 90, lors d'un show de Cibo Matto, j'attendais pour parler avec Sean Lennon à l'instigation de ma copine Catherine. Il y avait aussi 2 types dans le schtyle sosies de Ringo Starr et George Harrison avec des vinyles de Beatles qu'ils voulaient faire signer par Sean. Il leur a dit assez froidement genre ''je ne suis pas mon père, allez vous faire foutre''. Et voilà.

Je l'avoue, je suis un peu un groupie des Beatles, je connais par coeur cet album. On voit déjà tout leur sens de la mélodie, chaque pièce est hyper catchy et facile à chanter. J'ai appris 2 choses aujourd'hui quand même: 1)qu'il y avait des covers, la plupart excellent d'ailleurs et 2) que la meilleure compo est encore une fois attribuable à Harrison, quelle surprise!

Reallly good what the hell

Listened to and from work. I love the Beatles but I don't love their earlier work. There's glimmers of their brilliance there but it's just too poppy and sacarine for me. Plus the mixing and production of these stereo remasters is just awful. Looking forward to hearing Rubber Soul and Revolver again on this list.

Just to be clear here I rate every album by The Beatles as 5 star. No other band had such an influence on the changes in music. They took it from seperate singers and songwriters to something that any group of young friends could do. Although this album is mostly covers you can hear the sound developing. Fave song - Money.

The album deserves a 3, +2 for Beatles, -1 for being the Beatles not at their best. That equals 4.

There's a real variety of styles on this album from Roll Over Beethoven to All My Loving to Money. But there is a cconsistency that keeps the bar consistently high

Some interesting covers and solid originals

I had a tape (we had very few of those) of this era Beatles growing up, so nostalgia is strong. Some solid music there all the same.

I guess you have to start somewhere and this album is about half good. At least, if The Beatles were going to be a cover band, at least they could have covered The Beatles.

Quite good

This record is the reason Beatlemania was never officially recognised in the DSM.

3,6 Highlights: All I've Got To Do, All My Loving

undoubtedly the beatles. um sorry

This was going really well to start, and I was going to give it a 4, but then there was a bit of a vibe shift and the second half was more like a 2.

Why are the songs so short!!! It feels like I only get to hear a taster of each one and then its over already. For my first Beatles experience this wasn't too bad though, I'm excited to listen to their other albums when they come up.

Classic Beatles but before they really figured out what they were doing. Reminiscent of a raw 60s style but not particularly good.

Historic!

love it

Of all the stinkers the Beatles had, their covers were the absolute worst.

*jack off motion* *WWE cross chop crotch thrust* *farts* Leave the postman the hell alone!

Not everything The Beatles did needs to be treated with reverence.

Even "mid" Beatles is pretty great. I wish we didn't have quite so many covers, and that "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was here. How did "I Want to Hold Your Hand" not make it! I know the music industry was different in the early 60s, even from what it would be 5 years later. But as a listener decades after this album was released it would be great to have that single on this one. FOUR STARS

Even the Beatles needed some time to really hit their stride.

Favourite Tracks: You Really got a hold on me

This is what I thought all beatles albums sounded like when I was convinced that they were a severely overhyped band for the first 20 years of life until I finally listened to sgt pepper's and saw the light

Worst track: little child... Wait, oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman vine. My left ear is enjoying the guitar and drums. Overall, I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but I value and appreciate their contribution to music. (listened while doing homework)

Not my favorite Beatles album lmao.

chill vibes

Iconic album cover, but the sophomore Beatles album is lacking. There are a couple of classics, but the "cover formula" is weak and after this they transitioned to all/mostly original songs. Pitchfork: n/a Rolling Stone: n/a Best Songs All My Loving Till There Was You Money

nice but not smth im gonna listen a ton to

pan u prvoj pesmi je bas neprijatan ili su mi pokvarene slusalice. ipak je zanimljiv pan pogotovo sto harmonica solo ide na vocal stranu Volim kako misle da su tuff na coveru Till there was you Please Mr post man It wont be long su dobre pesme. Razumem zasto su se ljudi palili na beatles

I enjoy they kept the original mixing in the remaster, only adding clarity to the songs, even if it sounds a bit weird if you're using headphones. Pretty well put together album, early rock&roll Beatles.

How is there a Beatles album I haven’t listened to before? How many of these did they even make!

The Four are Fab!

Unfortunately one of my - if not the - least favorite Beatles record. Does that mean it's bad? No. But their output has way stronger records.

I do not love The Beatles and this did not change that. Fine.

Começa a ficar um bocado repetitivo no fim mas é bom

When people say that The Beatles are overrated, they're thinking of albums like this one. That being said, it's fine. Not great, but not bad either. Definitely not The Beatles' best.

I want to write more but cant describe it in any other way than boring

Why o why is only the last song on this record mixed properly. I REALLY dislike only hearing the vocals in my right ear. Other than that this record is fine. The beatles sound like they actually enjoy making these songs, something which can't be said on later records.

This does make me understand why people like the Beatles. It is actually energetic, and here I can hear how they didn't just invent the overdone standard pop stuff that has been copied to death and then some in the last 60 years, but how also they were at the roots of much of the more Qualitative pop as well.

Vraiment oubliable

Especially Liked: Til There Was You, You Really Got A Hold On Me, Hold Me Tight, All I've Got To Do Added: None Disliked: Roll Over Beethoven (mild), I Wanna Be Your Man (mild) Favorite Song: Til There Was You

So good some real classics here and like the variation

Mid

9 - EXCELLENT

It's pop, its inoffensive and its probably Beatles fans least favourite album, so it gets an extra point for that alone

Not a great album but it is the Beatles. Listened to this many, many times over the years as with all of their other work. Never a fan of most of the cover songs they did early on. Still have some good songs nonetheless. Overall, a mixed bag.

Growing pains album for the Beatles. It sits awkwardly between the cutesy, if derivative Please Please Me and a much more defined sound of Hard Days Night. All My Loving is such a banger though

I don't like the Beatles.

220-something record in and finally a Beatles album! And an early one too! I’m glad I can have some semblance of chronology for a change. Like I've said in other reviews, it's a little unfair to compare a record to the same band's later works. The Beatles became a phenomenon on the back of this record, but they didn't become THE BEATLES(TM) for the songs here. So, let's put aside the fact that they will become the biggest and most influential band in the whole world (forever and ever, probably) and look at this like any other mid-sixties pop album. By that measure... it's totally fine. If you're a person who seeks substance in everything they listen to, look elsewhere. But if you want a fun record you can still put on, turn up, and dance around the house like a goofball - this record is for you! There's not even a song on this record long enough to justify skipping - at 3:01 long, "You Really Got A Hold On Me" is the second longest song in the whole first half of The Beatles' catalog. Fun fact, at 3:09, "Ticket To Ride" from Help! is the longest song on the first seven Beatles records!

10 It’s defo not one of my fave Beatles albums but I am a fake fan and this is the first time I’ve ever listened to this. I loved them and they’re one of those bands that no matter how long I’ve known them for I still find new songs I love. Cool cool album cover too I lov it lov lov!!!

With The Beatles is an album strongly influenced by American rock'n'roll, especially Elvis Presley, which is visible in the vocal style and melodic structure of the songs. The album has a romantic and accessible atmosphere, typical of the pop of the early 60s. The strong point is the energy of the performances and the chemistry between the members, which reflects their experience as a live band, even if at the compositional level the material still remains relatively simple compared to their later developments. Overall, it is a very pleasant experience and an important step in the development of the band. Rating: 8.5 / 10

Mostly covery.

I'm not a Beatles fan as-is, adding in the hard left/right panning for instrument/vocal tracks made this one a pain to get through. I know there's a mono version floating around out there and maybe would have bumped this to a 3 but I can't be bothered.

9/10

The Beatles defined a decade, revolutionized music, and still sound amazing today. This album is 5/5 as part of the band’s origin story but, really, it also stands on its own when you consider… In 1963, bands rarely wrote their own songs. And albums were filled with…well, with filler. Yet The Beatles wrote 8 of these songs, with one tremendous song by George Harrison. Each of those songs stands on its own. A foretaste of things to come. Also, compare this with any other rock n roll album from 1963. Most have to do with surfing. You seriously won’t find anything that holds its own against what the Beatles are doing here (and on their earlier release, Please Please Me). Go ahead, check out all the top rock n roll albums of 1963. Then imagine what THIS sounded like in that context. 
You WILL find some great folk music (Freewheeling Bob Dylan!) and Motown. The Beatles were clearly soaking in those sounds as well. But what they accomplished here and in the years to come… just plain remarkable.

Every single Beatle album should be on this list, and every one starts at a five for me. They tackle other peoples songs with the same energy and enthusiasm and put their own stamp on them. Plus, their own songs keep getting better. Their creativity hadn't quite caught up with their talent yet. It is fun to watch. And the music world is still learning from them!

Very powerful songs and great vocal and beatiful choir. Happy songas? but i didnt fing song, which make me like i am on paradise

I was enjoying it... It's just old.

There are some really good classic songs on here, but the sound is very consistent. Maybe not really in a good way, kinda boring? But overall still a good album- it's the beatles!

This album is fine overall, very strong 50s/60s rock and roll styling here. It just doesn't stand out compared to so many other strong entries in the Beatles catalog

Sophomore slump? I love the Beatles but this has to be the weakest of their albums. Too may mediocre covers, too may mediocre and forgettable originals. A couple of really good bops.

Please Please Me Album FODA, já começa épico com I Saw, pqp. Essa contagem pra iniciar a jornada dos Beatles foi foda. Fico pensando como o John se sentiu deixando o Paul ser o primeiro a cantar. Muito nostalgico ouvir essas musicas, me lembra meu ensino médio, minha fase Beatlemania. Massa que cada um vai cantando uma. Voz dos 4 muito características nessa fase. Os caras acabaram de voltar da Alemanha depois de fazer 18 shows por dia, bichos tavam pica. Talento do caralho. Sem WoW era tudo mais fácil também. Nostalgia do caralho também com as músicas que a gente tocava, levando a caixa e a guitarra na tua casa... como era bom ter tempo livre assim. Please Please Me, Love me Do, lendárias que lançaram os Beatles. Taste of Honey tem um sentimento muito foda, a voz do Paul sempre foi fudida mesmo. Acaba com a mais clássica. Tem a famosa história que eles gravaram esse álbum todo num dia, numa tocada. Voz do John tava no talo já, não conseguiram gravar um segundo take, e aí veio essa versão épica. Me arrepiei o álbum todo. Ainda mais por que lembrava da viagem pra Liverpool, vendo os lugares que eles eram moleques, andando pelas aquelas ruas sem saberem o quão gigante se tornariam. O The Cavern, as ruas pequenas de Liverpool, e de lá pro mundo. Que história fudida. -- With the Beatles Voltaram na mesma vibe do primeiro álbum, mas com uma legião de fãs já. Devia ser muito foda na época, tu ver um lançamento dos Beatles inédito. Comprar o disco na loja e ir pra casa ouvir na vitrola. Tava pensando por que colocaram esse segundo e não o primeiro, aí veio All My Loving e já aqueceu meu coração. Esse backvocal da segunda metade é muito foda, ao vivo o George faz, fica muito massa. Mr. Postman muito boa também, sempre aquece o coração. Eu prefiro o primeiro álbum do que esse, tem músicas mais fodas. Mas All My Loving joga o álbum pra cima, ainda tavam pegando a manha das composições, que no próximo álbum já seria fudido.

1/12 - Please Please Me A primeira música do primeiro álbum dos caras ser I Saw Her Standing There já dita o que estava por vir kkkk Os caras são gênios mesmo, não tem como negar. 1963 cara, não existia merda nenhuma ainda. I Saw tem nem o que falar, uma das melhores linhas de baixo que já ouvi, impossível não pelo menos balançar o pézin Várias músicas aqui eu não sabia o nome e não tinha adicionado, mas eu já conhecia de tanto ouvir tu e o Bruce tocando usando aquele livrinho preto lá, tipo Anna Please Please Me e Love Me Do, duas épicas também. A P.S. I Love You cara, rolou algo na voz do Paul? Porque é 1963 e a voz dele tá IDÊNTICA a atual, dele velhinho, wtf? Do You Want To Know A Secret é fudida também, baita música, meio underrated. E pra fechar o álbum com chave de ouro ainda tem um cover fudido de Mamonas. Daria 5 estrelas, obviamente. Nenhuma música ruim e várias lendárias. -- 2/12 - With The Beatles Já começa com uma fudida, gosto muito dessa It Won't Be Long, os YEAAH com drive Esse álbum tem muito mais música que eu não conhecia do que o primeiro. Acho que se pá metade eu desconhecia, mas todas daóra, adicionei a porra toda também All My Loving lendária tá aqui, Please Mister Postman também. Essa Roll Over Beethoven é toda Chuck Berry e eu nunca tinha ouvido antes, mó daóra Eu adoro o refrão da Hold Me Tight, o vai e volta com o backing vocal I Wanna Be Your Man muito foda também. Achei esse álbum bem semelhante com o primeiro. É do mesmo ano, então não é de se surpreender né, capaz até de terem composto/gravado tudo junto e esse ter umas restantes que não entraram no primeiro. To curioso pra ver quando vai dar pra sentir a primeira etapa do "amadurecimento" deles. Eu achei o primeiro álbum mais "lendário", tem mais pérolas, se fosse nota livre, daria uns 4.8 talvez, pro primeiro ficar acima, mas em estrelas é 5 mesmo obviamente

Inclusion of albums like this is why people don't respect Beatles fanatics.

With the Beatles isn't that bad, but it's got a ton of filler. While the filler isn't that bad, it's also not very impressive, which is the overall impression I got from this album. It's got a handful of good songs in the beginning, as well as some good ones here and there, but otherwise isn't all that compelling. I really liked the sound of "Devil in Her Heart", aside from the lyrics sounding a bit controlling. Favorite Song: "Devil in Her Heart"

The Beatles before they were good, let's be honest

Boring. Hopefully I’ll like one of the other 700 albums of theirs that made it on this list.

Great album to hear again, all the old covers, plus a few originals- Beatles at their finest

Overall Rating - 3.25/5 (6.50/10). A surprisingly forgettable Beatles album.

Favourite Songs: All My Loving Little Child Roll Over Beethoven

The Beatles! some good stuff here, with some hits and some misses, but overall? A good listen. When this came out I was 11 years old, and Beatlemania was taking off. Also, I didn't buy albums back then, just the 45s that they issued. Makes it different, listening to the whole thing.

There’s a couple of good songs here that make a good case for why the Beatles were so popular, but half of the album is just absolutely terrible covers.

Old Beatles are cute

Probably one of the weaker Beatles albums in my opinion. Should revisit the guitar in Till there was you, great melody there. Still a great album overall and in the last track you could see the slight style change into something abit less organised and more creative which is nice. 3.5

Classic album. Not my favorite album, but still great songs.

Again, like Ray Charles and Prince just not overwhelmed by this Beatles release from 1963. Songs are all nice little ditties, pretty basic structure and nothing profound lyrically. Mr. Postman is probably the highlight. Never really cared for Roll Over Beethoven. Pretty tame and lame really.

"I've got a song about an Octopus." "Jam it up your arse. You're lucky we still let you play drums!" 4/7 proper Beatles albums done ✅

Its a fun and catchy rock album. Not my favourite Beatles record but certainly not a bad one.

This one is The Beatles second album, it's relatively solid throughout. There's this nocturnal mood that is present that I like quite a lot, the album cover definitely helps reinforcing the mood. Because it's an early Beatles album, songs don't tend to be too unique or distinctive; like their 1966-1969 albums. Which is honestly fine sometimes, and is comparable to junk food to me, good every now and then. Highlight Song/s: "All My Loving" and "Please Mr. Postman"

Better than Coldplay

Eu confesso que nunca tinha parado pra ouvir the Beatles, mas foi uma experiência bem boa. As musicas são muito bem feitas, infelizmente eu não prestei muita atenção na letra mas imagino que sejam coisas importantes

Early Beatles, good but not great

The L+R-Mix is horrible on headphones, but the songs are good.

besides the fact most songs were centred around love, which is not usually my jam, its still an album i enjoyed quite a bit and found myself dancing to

Vocals: 9/10 Lyrics: 8/10 Instruments: 9/10 Likely to Listen Again: 10/10 Overall: 9/10 I really like the vocals and simplicity of this album. Once again, the Beatles prove to be one of the greatest bands ever.

Not their best album by any means. Still better than 99% of anything released by anyone else. It speaks volumes that this group of guys recorded for 7 years together and had the impact in music and culture that they did. All of their accolades are deserved.

Solid album. Very listenable. Has some catchy tunes on it scattered throughout and some others that are just kind of background noise. Considering the trajectory of The Beatles, this is a pretty tame album. Everybody's gotta start somewhere, I suppose.

Early 60s rock. Second album. Really, fun, cute version of the Beatles.

Vaikka en ollut tätä levyä kokonaisuudessa koskaan kuunnellut, on suurin osa biiseistä tuttuja. Omat suosikkini on Please Mister Postman ja Money.

This is a lovely collection of songs. Mixture of cover versions and original compositions. It wont be long and all my loving are tremendous. Non essential but a good introduction if needed to the best band to walk the earth.

At this point they weren't very good.

Few standouts, but so much filler

I think what I like best about this album is the rawness of everyones voice. Everyone sounds a little hoarse but it also sounds like they are having fun. This album is so good, so fun, and over way to quick.

Slightly odd choice, as from the pre-Rubber Soul years I'd have picked Please Please Me, Hard Day's Night or Help! ahead of this one. But anyway it's still good. Probably notable for George Harrison's first writing credit and All My Loving is a highlight of their touring era. Think it's a 4 as I don't find the second half so amazing with all the covers. However I do find it telling to see where The Beatles' influences were coming from (rock 'n' roll, Motown) when you consider how much they pushed things forwards - the psychedelica, experimentation and baroque pop of their mid-60s output seems a million miles from this despite only being a few years later. But I'm not rating on potential so 4* it is

Yeah I do like it and it's a classic for a reason but The Beatles are overhyped compared to who else was about at the time.

Early Beatles standard offering of short poppy rock tunes. I prefer later Beatles albums, and with some many from their catalogue already on this list, this one felt like it could be dropped to pick up something / anything else.

Ok I get it but still don’t love it

Would rate this a billion out of 5 if I could

Its a great album and lays the ground for all the amazing things we will come to see from the 4. Songs like All My Loving, Please Mister Postman and It Won't be Long would get into my playlist of their best songs and there isn't really a bad listen on there. This said, there are a few songs you wouldn't necessarily choose to put on, and most of the album are cover tracks so it can't be described as one of their greatest. 8/10

Doesn’t age like the later Beatles. The talent is there, the vocals have that wail that we love. It’s just a little thin in dynamics but this helps us to appreciate what they became.

i get the hype

Not the best of their works. Found this one to be a bit bland Overall still enjoyable 4 ⭐️

Albums get 5 stars from me if I finish it and immediately want to start it over again. I listened to this one 4 times!

Beatles are pretty good

Still got that Beatles charm. Just don't know if it quite cuts it for a 4

10/10

Forgettable.

The most Beatles album to ever have Beatled. very mixed album. The firsty 7 songs are the best of the album, the middle is the worst and drags on and the last few songs are just whatever. So, basically the A side is good, they could have just left it there

Loved

Not sure why this album has been selected when nearly half the songs are covers.

Absolutely a 3.5 for me. Some really solid tracks here and the rest is pleasant enough to listen to. Don't think the dated production is bothering me as much as some of y'all lol

not bad but there are better beatles albums

Not my favorite album of theirs and not a hige fan of the imaging of vocals on right, guitar on left. 2.5

The Beatles records really don't get super engaging to me until Rubber Soul, but these are always an interesting insight, and there's some fun pop songs here.

Really solid album overall, though their later recordings have higher fidelity and a couple of the songs are not my cup of tea.

Killer, knew every song, has to be one of the most well known albums on earth. Love the early Beatles sound

The least annoying Beatles album I’ve heard.

Solid album with a glimmer of what's to come. Favourites: All I've Got To Do Please Mister Postman Money (That's What I Want)

Feels dated and has lesser versions of songs

First mediocre Beatles album?

Okay I liked but didn’t love - big Beatles fan but this album is def not a top one for me

Okay! Some good gems in there tho

I liked it, very fun and light! I think I will revisit it when summer comes around, maybe I will enjoy it more then!

Never been a huge Beatles fan but I enjoyed a lot of songs on this album, I can see why they were huge back then and still are respected now. Tracks I've heard before: Please Mr Postman Top 3: It Won't Be Long All My Loving Roll Over Beethoven Bottom 3: Till There Was You You Really Got A Hold On Me Money (That's What I Want)

just a great listen. really enjoyable

Wow they were horny. Such cringey lyrics compared to later stuff. But still, some classics on here, and the covers are fun.

nice

I love the beatles, and this was an album I hadn't spent as much time with. I really enjoyed it!

It’s the Beatles!

Well, it's still (or perhaps should I say "already"?) the Beatles, so the vocals are great and there are some good original songs, but it's definitely not an album I would listen to very often...

The originals are getting better & the energy is there for sure. Beatlemania is only a few years away at this point. The songs may not be challenging, but really what's wrong with a pop record? Absolutely nothing.

Jolly time. What else is there to say about the Beatles tbh. Very fun album, with a lot of good tracks. Can't say anything other then good time.

4.0 stars I much prefer the latter half of the Beatles albums, as they're far more interesting/exploratory. BUT, without the success of the early albums there is no Abbey Road, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, etc. Plus, there are some genuinely great songs on this album. Favorite track: Roll Over Beethoven

Desde bien pequeño, que los escucho. Domingos de lluvia mi padre me ponía sus discos favoritos. Y aunque les tenga cariño, considero que estan sobrevalorados.

What is a great album? Sometimes, it’s when the song list is bop after bop. This is a prime example of that. It’s not super deep or experimental, but each song buries into the deepest folds of your brain and lays a clutch of eggs that, if activated, would turn you into one of those screaming girls from the height of beatlemania. Just a poppy pop masterpiece popping off.

Goat

Senti que o album era um coisa quase de criança: muitos instrumentos de percursão e eles cantando ao mesmo tempo, sei la, pareceu um album infantil. além das musicas mais ou menos todas iguais, não há grande mudança de tom no album, para mim foi um 3 por que não é muito meu tipo de musica mas no geral é o que se propõe a ser

ok

buen álbum la vdd cohesivo neta q la calidad de la música si ha bajado o tal vez siempre tuve prejuicios con los beatles etc etc

W beatles

Legends 💯

I know Ringo is short but damn, they did our man dirty on that cover. A very solid pop rock album for 1963. I get the low score because of what we expect from The Beatles later on, but if you judge this album on its own and forget the legendary stuff that comes after, it holds up really well. Songs like “It Won’t Be Long”, “All My Loving”, and “Mr. Postman” are iconic in their own ways and still hit. Mr Postman is a personal favorite for me because of the legendary meme: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Hu0KpdW4U0c It is not their best work and it has definitely aged, but it is still a fun, energetic listen that shows how strong they already were this early in their career. 7.5/10

With the Beatles is perhaps the most poppiest of all Beatle records, but it’s important part of the evolution from Please please me to Abbey road. Maybe this really is a solid 3/5 record, but have to give one extra star because it’s The Beatles

This is not the worst Beatles, but this band has never been my thing.

Old Beatles sounds so much like every other bands of that era, almost half of the songs are covers, which I find strange but it was normal back then. I mean even my local music history of that time is filled with covers, usually translated to Finnish, of which lots from US and UK, but also from Italy and other European countries. Well, now that I think about it, even Nirvana did some, like with Love Buzz... anyway. I prefer The Beatles psychedelic era. I'm not too interested in pop/rock of the 60's in general and I don't want to delve into the specifics nor look who influenced who and in what order. I guess this is fine.

With the Beatles is a classic example of the band’s early, slightly naïve approach to love songs. The album leans heavily into simple romantic themes, which can feel a bit corny at times, but it suits the youthful energy the Beatles were projecting at this stage of their career. One of the record’s strengths lies in its cover songs. The Beatles deliver solid and well-executed versions of non-original tracks, showing their tight musicianship and obvious influences, even if these songs don’t always feel essential to their legacy. The album is short and efficiently put together, making it an easy and light listen from start to finish. It flows well and never overstays its welcome. However, this also contributes to one of its weaknesses: With the Beatles isn’t particularly memorable as a whole. While it’s enjoyable in the moment, few tracks truly linger after it ends. I listened to the master from the Beatles in Mono edition (5099963379716). It’s a good-quality master that respects the original recordings, although it’s obvious that the material comes from early 1960s sessions—the age of the recordings is clearly noticeable in the sound. That said, songs like “All My Loving” and “Money (That’s What I Want)” stand out as highlights, offering more energy and personality than the rest of the tracklist. 7/10

was wel ok

The Beatles are my favourite band ever, and there is only one or two (if we also count the Yellow Submarine LP) that is a not definite 5 star album, With the Beatles is one of them. It's a classic early Beatles album, with almost half songs being covers. The original songs are great but they are not on the She Loves You, I Want To Hold Your Hand or Please, Please Me level of greatness. I love some of the original songs very much (the opening It Won't Be Long, All My Loving, I Wanna Be Your Man and Harrison's first song he wrote in The Beatles, Don't Bother Me the most). And overall, the album's influence can't be denied. 4.5 stars, rounded down to 4.

Classic, early days but hints of greatness to come

Weaker than others but good

can’t go wrong with the beatles

It won’t be long is less well known song but so obviously the Beatles and early Merseybeat that is can be hard to rate an album . It’s hard to say the impact on western music they had on. this early stuff is great but played with a bit of a straight bat The years in Hamburg honed them into a tight machine allowing them to explore variations from standard chord structures, they were innovating without leaving the audience behind. The early albums are a little like a history lesson . So obviously the 60 s but not (always) sounding dated and possibly quaint. Weirdly probably more important than later albums , Apart from maybe Sgt Pepper’s, but not as good. The safe option of covers makes sense to break the US but makes this album a little slow.

Beatles- the boring years

Es el primer álbum de los Beatles que escucho completo. No le cuenten a nadie.

Really enjoyed early Beatles era in my early life, thought it was fun. It hasn't really aged well. It's ok but give me Abbey Road any day.

Positivo, bailable

Half the songs are covers. Most of the originals have become classics, and I think highly of them. For an album experience I would love just Beatles songs.

Really enjoyed this album felt as though it really showed George Harrisons promise at such a young age especially on tracks like "All My Loving" and "Till There Was You", my two favorites off the record.

Toimii. 4/5.

Much more motown than I'm used to having mostly only heard the hits from The Beatles. The Beatles written songs definitely feel a lot less polished than the covers, but there's definitely something special there. 14 songs in 33 minutes was impressive. I thought only punk albums did that.

I know the Beatles are amazing icons and this had some good songs that I knew and a few I didn’t. But it doesn’t really hit hard for me. So 3/5

It's true: "the Beatles don't even slap!" They didn't yet - but everything was in place. Is it a goofy mix? Of course - stereo had barely been invented and there are only 4 tracks in the mix. Focus on the intention and what they were trying to do. Honestly, this album is better if you just force your device to mono while listening. "Don't Bother Me" is a standout, sounds way ahead of its time and George Harrison is already shredding. Covers on the LP are a classic 60's thing, it is what it is. The Little Richard-style "woo" is pretty cheeky. Even here, Paul McCartney's voice is just wild. "Till There Was You" is incredibly impressive to hear given how raw the vocal is - they just barely avoid that overblown 60's vocal fuzz (tube mics and shitty preamps - looking at you Phil Spector) and actually have some nice space and warmth in the vocal track. It is still pretty hot but sounds fantastic for the song, nice reverb as well. All in all, it's a very early album but sounds quintessentially Beatle-y and nobody has done it like the lads from Liverpool.

A bit sad at the number of covers, but that is more a reflection on the times I suspect. The album was fine, but I think it would be far from my favourite even not having listened to much of the Beatles before.

não sou muito fã deles, mas é um album bom de ouvir.

fun, light, and a pretty listen.

I love 60s Beatles.

This is the Beatles. Obviously it should be a 5* album right? But knowing what was to come makes some of these early covers not quite live up to expectations. Still a great album with so much potential ahead of these lads from Liverpool

Its the Beatles so obviously I loved it, but as one of their earlier albums it was very pop-py. I can see why they drastically changed their sound on later albums. Still very much enjoyed it though.

Ik vind het hilarisch dat de meeste gelauwerde band allertijden begon als een soort slappe boyband. Het klinkt wel allemaal heel geinig hoor, maar dit is natuurlijk de meest middle of the road rock die ooit gemaakt is. Beetje alsof over 30 jaar iedere muziekcriticus er van overtuigd is dat de Backstreet Boys God's gift to earth waren. Tuurlijk beetje makkelijk gezien hun latere werk, maar de oude albums? Dat is gewoon rockpop. Best fijne rockpop, maar absoluut gewoon liefdesliedjes met een klein rock randje. Ja je hoort wel dat de ritme secties enzo wel iets interessanter zijn dan de volledige basis poprock. Sowieso ga ik wel lekker op de manier hoe Beethoven word uitgesproken. Ik heb toch heel sterk het vermoeden dat als dit een andere band was dat het dan niet in de lijst had gestaan. Zo sterk vind ik het allemaal niet, maar ik moet ook eerlijk er bij zeggen dat ik geen muziek uit die tijd ken dus niet zo goed weet of dit heel erg revolutionair is of niet. Ach, gelukkig is het een kort album daar ben ik dan weer niet zuur over. Het is een product van zn tijd, laten we het daar gewoon lekker op houden. FAVO: Till there was you, Roll Over Beethoven

Look, it's perfection, it just is. When you talk about the Beatles sometimes people will shrug off their popularity and credit it solely to them being the first to do something, but in albums like this you can hear that its also because they took what was already up and coming and executed it excellently.

We started off very strong until I got to the covers, Mr Postman was amazing but I wasn't very partial to the rest of them. I love the harmonising in You Really Got a Hold on Me Can't wait to listen to more Beatles!! Favourites: All I've Got to Do & All my Loving

This was fine, not unpleasant listening. A little icky to hear the Beatles cover motown hits less well than the original, especially given the "borrowing" of work by Black artists of the time.

A few classes on there, wouldn’t listen again.

It’s alright

Favorite Tracks: Hold Me Tight, Money

3.5/5 - Classic Beatles album

Exactly what I expected from early Beatles. Inoffensive but dull

Wait these Beatles guys are on to something ???

the songs sound the same

Always great to go back to the Beatles…puts a tap in my foot every time.

like most of the Beatles fans, its mainly a childhood attachment. loved this album ive never listened to it beginning to end, still wouldn't put it in my top 3 Beatles albums. my mom and my dad would sing me all my loving, brought back some nostalgic feelings its only my 6th day here and I was already waiting for some Beatles, happy it happened so early

Not my type of music

I didn't like how it sounded through my headphones, I had to take them off. Definitely not my favourite Beatles album. None of the songs were very memorable. 55/100, but it might just be the bad sound quality.

the most goated band OAT however this is one of there weaker albums however it still carrires the essencse of what I love about the beatles and sigma starr is carrying on drums

Audio mixing was awful with very boring instrumentality

Its fine but the Beatles definitely made much better 3 stars Light 6 out of 10

I get that the mixing is bad, but the mixing is bad its rather frustrating make the indtruments go through both ears not just the left Mr John Lenon if youre hearing this, please be better

I haven't listened to that much Beatles previously, so this album was very interesting in that it helped me understand how they were so influential. While the album did have a common feel throughout, each song felt distinctly unique. One aspect I particularly liked was the drumming and guitar - it seems distinctly bluesy, most notably with the guitar in Roll Over Beethoven. Maybe it's just because I've listened to a lot of reggae and soul (meaning that's the influence I recognise), but the album really felt like something coming out of that genre rather than anything I'd expect from rock. In particular, Hold Me Tight felt quite reggae. In any case, I enjoyed this album more than I expected. It isn't in my normal genres, but I'd listen to it again. Probably a 7/10 for me, so I'll give it a 4.

I like the Beatles a lot but I feel their earlier era (not that they were around all that long all things considered) isn't quite as good for me, they're still excellent singers but I feel that they hadn't quite found their music yet and were still progressing in their song writing skills, they were hardly 20 here so I can't blame them and there's still some really good songs, but I knew going into this it wouldn't quite stack up against there many later albums. The highlights of the album for me were 'All my loving' a classic Beatles song, 'Roll over Beethoven' which was very rock and rollsy, as quite a few of the songs of this era were (an aside, it reminded me both of Elvis's 'Jail House Rock' and of course of the 1992 film Beethoven) as well as 'Money (that's what I want)', a song I knew but was less familiar with as a Beatles song. Unfortunately quite a few of the songs were relatively forgettable but were still largely decent, though 'don't bother me' was a bit of a low point. A strong three, nothing more. 70/100 Score edited 28/01/26

I went into this with high expectations(it's the Beatles) and I also went into this expecting to be disappointed. Surprisingly, I wasn't! Really quite impressed with just how good this was. I can see why this was the start of pop stardom for the band and just how it launched their career. Songs were surprisingly fresh for what is considered generic 60s pop/rock and it was really tight front to back with no fluff. I do agree the mixing on a few of the songs was a little shoddy - I found the panned instruments in the first track quite jarring. However I think this is just part of the album that aged poorly, as I imagine this was something relatively new at the time. Weak 5, but a 5 nonetheless. I do wonder if I'd have given this a 4 if it wasn't Beatles. Favourite Track - Roll Over Beethoven

Good, not a forgot of mine from the Beatles but it does hit the spot!

I'm fanatical about this band (unique, I know), so it pains me that I even thought about giving the record 4/5, but there are quite a few skippable tracks here. Still, historically speaking, both Please Please Me and this record were monumental. It's interesting to hear some of the utterly shit recording quality on a few of these tracks from a band that was renowned for its polished instrumentation and tight harmonies. In these early records, though, it's not purely about every song being a banger or every recording session being a revelation; it was just incredible to have four dudes presenting as a single unit being this cohesive, blending genres, and making something brand new. Also worth mentioning just how much better this record was than Please Please Me, not to mention how much they improved for each of their next several albums. 5/5 even though it's one of the worst records...from one of the best bands.

Loved it! Not their best album but it tells so much about their story! The mixing was bad though hahaha. But other times, right?

Not their best work, but I'm assuming their whole discography is in here somewhere

Perfeito do começo ao fim. Fico bolado com como a galera menospreza a primeira fase da carreira dos Beatles.

A++±++++++++++++++± I'm not so sad and lonely with the Beatles.

non il mio prefe

This is still the early "boy band" period of The Beatles, which is not the period I prefer. Still, it has good songs like "All My Loving", "It Won't Be Long", and the Harrison song "Don't Bother Me". Interesting that the album has a bunch of covers (Mister Postman, Roll Over Beethoven, You Really Got A Hold On Me, etc).

Spin magazine did a list where they ranked all the Beatles albums, and this one didn't even crack the Top 10. So, it's not even essential Beatles listening.

Totally mystified why an album that's 50% seriously shitty covers made it on this list - other than the general wankery of including every fucking thing from certain monolithic bands. The other 50% of this album are evidence of Buddy Holly & the Cricket's influence, where it's clear the Lennon/McCartney writing duo haven't yet found their own voice or sound. So it's just really old-fashioned sounding for the most part, with nothing really innovative to recommend it. Seriously forgettable - especially compared to their later output - and honestly should have been forgotten.

Not a huge fan of the Beatles except the odd song. This collection is a bit slower than my usual tastes and doesn’t inspire much.

That classic Beatles sound, hard to hate but also not something I’ll really listen to going forward, hence the score.

Classic

Me gustó mucho la verdad, bastante pegadizas,buen ritmo, guitarra, me gustó

‘Don’t Bother Me’ is a cool song and will make the playlist for sure, but I would really only recommend the rest of the album to Beatles enthusiasts. Nothing about this album seems like an essential listen, especially as it is sandwiched between other more significant albums in their discography.

Siempre gustaron los Beatles, en especial sus albums mas viejitos. Tienen una vibra a verano y a nostalgia incomparable

A few great songs

A few standout tracks, otherwise comes off a bit uninspired. Lot of cheesy and repetitive lyrics propped up by melodies that are vaguely catchy but lack much depth or maturity. You can hear the beginnings of what The Beatles would go on to become, I think it just hadn't come together yet. Highlights: All My Loving, Don't Bother Me, Money

John Lennon singing Motown covers will always be for me. First repeat play of the list!

As a person not familiar with old school rock and roll, but heavily inclined by modern and 2000s rock, the album was a new endeavor. Though it couldn’t grasp my taste, it was still a great casual listen.

Bland in the context of the rest of the Beatles discography. Maybe was innovative of its time. I dunno, I wasn't alive.

i liked

Classic Beatles 1: Till There Was You 2: Devil in Her Heart 3: Roll Over Beethoven

Never heard this one before, love the covers

Not their best, strangely a lot of the best stuff here is the Motown covers and All My Loving which is a standout early track for them

eat eating ate

Fun but so dated

Back then, long time ago, when we was shit. The world owes Bob Dylan and John Riley a huge debt for making The Beatles into The Beatles, rather than the band that made this bland offering.

Derivative, innovative, classic

A great collection of their songs and covers. I didn't know until now that it was released the day JFK was assassinated

I’m with the Beatles on this one but I think they have another level to go

Not my favourite Fab 4 album by a long chalk. And I would only play it occasionally. But there isn't a weak track on the album. Although some of the best songs on the album are written elsewhere, Lennon and McCartney's songwriting is starting to shine and they hold their own in some illustrious company.

Stunning for the time

not my favorite, but it's a good album

Unrelated to this 1001 albums listening project, I came across a list of the greatest bands of all time earlier today. Unsurprisingly, The Beatles were at the top of it. I don’t think this is at all controversial, but it’s also kind of the bummer with these kinds of things, because at least when it comes to rock and pop music, I can’t see anything else having close to the impact that The Beatles had either musically or, maybe more importantly, culturally. All of which is to say that everything Beatles carries a huge amount of weight. And in the case of With The Beatles the significance of their later albums I think has led people to maybe hold their earlier ones in higher regard than they strictly deserve. Half of this album is covers, which serves to highlight how good of songwriters they were on their original tracks, but they don’t quite feel fully formed as a band here yet. The best was still a couple of years off for them yet.

I have opinions on this. This is my first front to back Beatles album. I thought the opener and the closer both were stark and kinda jarring; not much care put into song order. The ideas fly by rapidly, with each song well under 3 minutes. I almost feel like there could have been fewer (longer) songs but the same number of ideas. Apparently this is also a majority cover album, which I didn't know until after I listened. It's interesting knowing that this is the basis for popular music as we know it. It has a certain charm that is so unique to The Beatles, yet the influence is apparent in the modern artists I listen to. It's cool to hear how they had such a clear vision for their sound and executed it so precisely. Subject matter is very simple and digestible, mainly heartbreak and longing. I thought the production and mixing was clean. I did listen to the remastered version. In my critical eyes, trying to fairly rate the quality of the music over the influence of the artist, I rate this album pretty averagely. It's not bad by any means. I am excited to hear how their sound evolves over time.

Not my favorite Beatles album, but there are not bad Beatles albums.

This might be my least favorite Beatles album, but I really like the Beatles, there are a couple bangers and nothing I hate. But not a Beatles album I would go out of my way to defend

actually kinda whips. i dont know why im surprised it has like universal pop appeal. it really crystalized for me that transition from blues to mainstream rock n roll that never completely clicked for me (see: You Really Got A Hold On Me). i understand how one would develop a mania over these "beatles" fellows. favorite song is probably All I've Got To Do

Rating: 5/10 Putting this album on 1001 You must listen to before being deceased is silly, it’s not like the ENTIRE Beatles catalogue needs to be present. This one is less essential, it is much more forgettable to me, maybe if you’re a fan of the early Beatles era which I am not really. I’m sure it was some really cool stuff in 1963. What they built on from this and the evolution they would have in just a couple short years though is simply insane

Simple but not even bad at all 6.2/10

Uma bosta escutavel

c’etait une agréable écoute puisque de base je n’écoute pas beaucoup de Beatles donc j’ai pus découvrir de nombreux sons que je ne connaissais pas ! Très heureuse d’avoir écouter

idk I don’t get the Beatles really?

So it was okk they seemed a bit like empty love songs to me. idk maybe im not a beetles girly but it didn’t speak to me or stand out and all the songs were quite similar. In a way yes they all blended together as an album which is a good positive but i struggled to distinguish them occasionally. I listened to the album a few times but yeah not my cup of tea. Also they say ‘yeah’ way too much what 😭the songs were very monotonous and there was no climax the entire song was a chorus. Worst song: Little child Best song: Hold me tight, I wanna be your man

Reminds me a family reunion and being with really lovely people hahahaha

favorites: track one: it won’t be long, track three: all my loving, track nine: hold me tight *love that they covered songs from berry/smokey/gordy/motown

I liked the first couple songs, the rest were alright could be better if they were longer.

1st listen: "You Really Got A Hold On Me" and "Please Mister Postman" are def my favourite, I didn't like "Little Child", "Money (That's What I Want)" is meh. Other songs are really good. 2nd listen: Some other songs got to me too, "All My Loving" and "Devil in her heart" are great. But "You Really Got A Hold On Me" is still my favourite. Everything else is the same. I didn't hear this album before or any songs from it. It is a good album, it's giving love, yearning and intimacy but also standards. Most songs are really soft and loving, deffinitely my vibe of soft and loving (I do vibe with almost everything tho). And I will listen again.

It Won't Be Long - 4/5 All I've Got to Do - 5/5 All My Loving - 3/5 Don't Bother Me - 4/5 Little Child - 3/5 Till There Was You - 3/5 Please Mister Postman - 3/5 Roll Over Beethoven - 3/5 Hold Me Tight - 4/5 You Really Gotta Hold on Me - 4/5 I Wanna Be Your Man - 4/5 Devil in Her Heart - 3/5 Not a Second Time - 4/5 Money - 3/5 Average score: 3.6/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ not the most exciting Beatles listen tbh. decent covers i suppose, but they're not any better than the source material

Here I feel The Fab Four managed to navigate the 'difficult second album' with mixed success. In trying to break the mould and move further from the industry-mandated cover artistry that was commonplace at the time, several of Lennon and McCartney's original songs for this album lack the charm and intrigue of those on their first LP. Songs such as 'It Won't Be Long', 'I Wanna Be Your Man', 'Little Child' and 'Hold Me Tight' all feel positively rushed in their pop immediacy, and feel lyrically flat compared to some of their earliest original hits. That being said, the McCartney-led 'All My Loving' has charm in spades, and Harrison's outings on the covers of 'Roll Over Beethoven' and 'Devil In Her Heart' are a welcome breath of fresh air. Moreover, their blistering rendition of 'Please Mister Postman' benefits nicely from their Liverpudlian pluck and savvy. An album of brevity in more ways than one, but a clear sign of potential and more good things to come.

Good album. I really like the singing 6/10

Started Jan 3 2026 (my first album of the journey!!) Finished Jan 3 2026 - really enjoyed the covers - looove old ‘60s rock and roll

Very interesting to hear their evolution from this album to later ones! I could totally imagine dancing to this in a 1960s house. Favourites are Don't Bother Me and Little Child.

i thought i knew all the beatles albums but clearly that is not the case! didn’t know this one existed. i feel relatively neutral towards it! it’s the beatles, it sounds like the beatles.

Eh

I enjoyed this more than I’d like to admit. There were a few catchy songs, not gonna lie. Stand-outs - It Won’t Be Long - Don’t Bother Me

Standard Beatles fare

Best Beatles album post late-afternoon lunch. Will help you take that nap you so very much need.

+1 for Youve really got a hold on me, -1 for Little child

Firm believer that most of what The Beatles did from Rubber Soul on is 5 stars. The older stuff is still worth listening to though. But I usually don't consider these albums as necessary for full through listens.

Pretty good

I was ready to give this for starts. Then I re-listened and realized that many of the tracks I liked the most were covers of songs that I really liked. And generally the originals were better. So I would be giving them stars for choosing to cover good songs and covering them adequately. Of course there are some good originals on here but I think I’m going to have to knock it down to three stars because it’s really mostly covers.

Solid

Digg å høre på som bakgrunnsmusikk, mye man kjenner igjen

It Won’t Be Long - 5/5 All I’ve Got To Do - 4/5 All My Loving - 4.5/5 Don’t Bother Me - 3.5/5 Little Child - 2/5 Till There Was You - 4/5 Please Mister Postman - 5/5 Roll Over Beethoven - 5/5 Hold Me Tight - 4.5/5 You Really Got A Hold On Me - 3/5 I Wanna Be Your Man - 3.5/5 Devil In Her Heart - 4/5 Not A Second Time - 4.5/5 Money(That’s What I Want) - 4/5

Not really my thing. I know they are iconic. Just not into it

Arguably the most important pop record ever. As the poet Philip Larkin wrote, "sexual intercourse began in 1963." It's hard to overstate how much the Beatles transformed popular culture, personal politics, and social mores at that time. Beatlemania was a world-changing event for young people, especially girls. This record signals a total redistribution of the sensible (what people now crudely call "shifting the overton window"). Contemporary listeners often misunderstand the early Beatles era as a necessary phase to get into the more "revolutionary" style of their middle period. It's true that the revolutionary New Left movements of the mid-late 60s (the anti-war movement, the free speech movement, the sexual revolution, women's liberation, psychedelic counterculture, etc) all had some kernel that originated with the screaming girls who overpowered the police (the late great Barbara Ehrenreich makes this point in one of the best essays ever written about the band). But this early phase was radical in itself. The Beatles completely changed how people thought of the auteur-performer in rock n roll; if you need proof, look at the list of 1001 albums and count how many guitar rock bands wrote their own songs before 1963. (spoiler: it's 1...Buddy Holly and the Crickets, which might as well be a solo act with a backing band. Compare that to the number only 2 years later in 1965.) Not to mention, they had a totally distinct visual style (thanks to Brian) and were witty and charming as hell. When they landed in NYC in early 1964, they were like aliens from another planet. For context, the Beatles also released 3 non-album singles within 6 months of this album: "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "She Loves You," and "From Me to You." Part of the problem with the 1001 album project is it places undue importance on "the album" as the ultimate recorded musical work. In 1963, albums were still a relatively new medium and the Beatles were still figuring out how to do it; they didn't even consider putting their 3 strongest singles on their new album and insisted on including only brand new material. They were among the first musicians to think of albums as complete art objects (see the Astrid Kircherr-style cinema verite photograph on the cover) instead of just a way to repackage popular singles around some extra filler. In other words, without With The Beatles there is no 1001 albums list.

More of a Colorado potato beetle than a stag beetle. Not the best but still a beetle.

So Little Child is pretty fucking weird, right?

A solid early 60's pop rock album, but remains low in my Beatles ranking. I never think of these songs or crave them. Although it was fun reading about how revolutionary it was for a British group to cover American R&B, which was underground and off the UK's radar. Hilarious that a bunch of Brits heard a 23 year old Lennon sing "You Really Got A Hold On Me" and freaking the fuck out.

The Beatles were the first band I ever fell in love with. This album got some bangers on it

Nice Album, mysiga låtar och skulle absolut kunna lyssna på igen - mys pys

I am starting to understand the beatles but also it felt like a bunch of covers or maybe i dont know music

Tiens, on a un album du début des Beatles ? C'est pas a priori leurs meilleurs, albums, ça m'étonne un peu, mais en même temps, l'objectif de ces 1001 albums à écouter m'échappe toujours un peu. Je suppose que celui qui a créé la liste adore les Beatles et pense que tous leurs albums devraient y figurer ? Bref, du coup, bah, c'est un album du début des Beatles, c'est bien joué, c'est sympathique, mais ça n'est pas grand-chose comparé à leur formidable deuxième moitié de carrière. C'est quand même un bon album, qui mérite d'être écouté et peut-être qu'il mérite sa place dans la liste parce que c'est l'un des albums qui a lancé la carrière d'un des groupes les plus importants de l'histoire. Pour moi, c'est du 3/5 parce que le groupe est pas du tout à son plein potentiel.

Fantastic album. Classic early Beatles and great songwriting. The stereo remaster isn’t particularly easy to listen to in headphones

The Beatles are a classic. This album isn’t the most popular, to my knowledge but it still has their sound.

Love the Beatles but this is not top tier

Fav tracks: it won’t be long, all my loving, hold me tight, money (that’s what I want) Such an iconic album. Little to no skips

3/5. the lyrics are kinda bad, but the instrumentation is strong. it’s very catchy - i can see why they were so ubiquitous in the 60s. it feels a little bit like listening to sunshine.

was a good album but i didn’t rlly feel like it would be one i could listen to regularly - really liked the song “devil in her heart” and the guitar.

Lots of classics on this album, it was a great listen

Liverpoolian brainrot.

Amo all my loving, mas tem umas mais ou menos aqui

3/5 - best song Till There Was You

While it's ok this one could have been left off since there's already tons of other Beatles albums taking space that are much better Will I listen to again: 2%

Classic Beatles, already new them so it wasn't a discovery. Still, good rhythm, good covers on chuck berry Roll Over Beethoven.

Good vibes don’t usually like Beatles but this was alright

I really like this after knowing this is their second released album. You hear a lot of Paul on this one and the covers are impressive because they stay true to the song but The Beatles still add a layer of grit and pace to their versions

Not a Beatles record ive listend to more than once or twice, but enjoyed it more than i thought i would. Some cool covers that i hadn't really acknowledged before, and always interesting to hear the younger versions of john and paul's voices.

Hard for me to be objective on any Beatles album as they’re my favorite group; this feels like the album where their love of Black music comes through the strongest (3 Motown covers plus a Chuck Berry), but they always bring something interesting to their interpretations of songs. “All My Loving” is a perfect song imo, and both John Lennon’s driving rhythm guitar triplets (a personal favorite) and George’s solo have been praised and discussed to death in internet guitar circles. I always thought “I Wanna Be Your Man” was a weaker Beatles song but they bring energy and life to it. The reason I love them is because it’s comforting but also because despite being a 4 piece rock and roll band, every time I go back to them I discover something new, quirky, interesting. The harmonies, the energy, the chord voicings, the creativity of the individual parts etc. It’s probably a 4 star album but I have a feeling I’ll to 5 for every Beatles album.

This one always gives me a distinct Christmas vibe anyway

I was never really a fan of the Beatles but there were songs here and there that I did like a lot (across the universe/nowhere man/baby you're a rich man) but im even less of a fan of their very early work which was stiflingly mainstream and even disingenuous to their actual creative talent and genius. I'm not going to give this a 1 star out of respect, but I will never listen to this album of my own accord.

You can hear that there’s something prewing, notably in It Won’t Be Long, All My Loving and Don’t Bother Me. But they’re not quite there yet

Goated

It’s fine. I don’t hate it but I’m a lil bored. I like the Please Mister Postman the best probably.
