Eh. Not a Beatles fan. This album was OK but not gonna change my mind on this group.
Pre-drugs Beatles were shit
Lalala Badababa 1.9
Couple of good songs and a ton of filler.
Beatlemania still remains a mystery to me.
I thought this middle era Beatles stuff might turn out to be my favourite, was hoping for a good blend of rocky earlier stuff and experimental later stuff. Turned out it was just quite bland stuff.
Just doesn’t move me. Song from the chest.
The lyrics for "Run for your life" are surprisingly creepy. Perhaps not surprising Lennon wrote the lyrics.
Mittelmäßiges Beatles Album. Kein track der mich gegriffen hat.
Its ok to listen to but not super enjoyable. Not really any hits and its mainly pretty dull
It sure is the Beatles. Not their most exciting outing
not for my taste
Dated. I don't think it has the lasting power as much as other Beatles' records – although, I think this was maybe the first album where they stretched themselves outside of the bounds of their earlier sounds. "Norweigian Wood" is a great track. Other than that, I'm fairly apathetic about this record.
not a beatles guy
Best Song: Nowhere Man. Even if the vocal harmonizing feels a bit annoying at time (and honestly, a bit like a cult), the lyrical weirdness is enough to make this one stick out. Worst Song: If I Needed Someone. Only the worst here because it is, like much of the rest here, boring. By the end of the album, my taste for these hyper-sweet melodies had long expired. Overall: Fourteen songs that absolutely sprint past, each one dangling a slightly different jingle to try to grab your attention before its near-identical twin shoves it out of the way to offer its own wares. Everything about this is commercial in the worst way. This feels like an album that you like after you've already decided you like the Beatles.
Meh
I am not into Beatles
kk slecht
Don't understand the appeal, perfectly passable songs but nothing life changing ('Girl' is my favourite but a lot are quite dreary and don't say much) Maybe I need a pop music historian to tell me why they are so good. Compare it to Dylan's Highway 61 released in the same year and they are in different stratosphere.
Unremarkable.
No es un álbum que haya captado mi atención
Still no
Never been a big Beatles fan... This album didn't change anything...
nope
one okay song
Boring
Bunch of men whining about women, who they call girls. Some nice melodies. Michelle dodged a bullet.
Mediocre at best, not a slog but definitely not great
Does almost nothing for me. Favorite songs are probably 'Girl' and 'Wait'.
Kind of too old and the numbers are all very similar.
Pas ce que je préfère chez les bitle
Gumowa dusza, czyli kolejne pojawienia sie beatelsow na liscie albumikowej, tym razem jest to album troche bardziej powazny niz with the, ale nie jest to jeszcze peak kunsztu beatelsowego, slychac ze albumik tworzony po powrocie po pierwszej trasie koncertowej po hameryczce, jak wskazuje nazwa czuc inspiracje muzyka soulowa czarnej hameryczki z domieszka dylanowskiego folka, ale jako ze chrzaszcze sa biale, wiec soul jest gumowy, podobnie bylo z bowim i jego mlodymi hamerykanami, slychac takze zalazki psychodelicznych klimatow jakie rozwina sie na kolejnych albumikach, bo po hameryczce chyba zaczeli sie szprychowac lsd, jesli dobrze pamietam, wiekszosc kompozycji to typowo popowe milosne baladowanie, wiec klasyka gatunku, ale z drugiej strony pojawiaja sie juz bardziej koncepcyjne traki jak nowhere man, czyli opowiesci psychodeliczne przegranca lenona, oparte na gitarkowych brzdakaniach, zwlaszcza na akustyku, nie ma tu juz koverow znanych kawalkow, wiec widac poczatki konceptowania albumowego, a nie tylko wydawania singli, na plejke wrzuce nowhere mana i love songa if I needed someone
A lot on here I hadn’t heard. A few classics, but many blubbers a resolute tune. Usually a few listens wins me over
Habe den Eindruck da waren Drogen im Spiel. Für mich ein Pluspunkt. Lieblingstrack ist Nowhere Man. Im Großen und Ganzen ganz nice. Aber nichts auf Dauer. Habe noch nie ein Beatles Album KOMPLETT gehört bis dato. Nice to have. 3*
I get that the beatles are iconic and all but I just don't like them
Not changed my mind about the Beatles. Liked the Ringo song best.
Idk I just don't think I like the Beatles that much
beatles innit not my fave really, surprised this one made it in
Not my favourite Beatles Album, Drive My Car is good tho
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Not for me
This album was just a reminder of why I can't stand the Beatles.
It's the Beatles
It was alright. I don’t hate it, but I don’t like it that much either. Nothing really stood out to me enough to make me want to listen again.
Ja, ga ik nu alweer precies hetzelfde zeggen als bij al die andere Beatles-albums? Ja! Dan moet je die er ook maar niet allemaal inzetten. Het is nou niet echt dat we een wezenlijk verschil horen tussen dit album en eerder materiaal. Het is hoogstens iets volwassener dan A hard day's night, en daarmee nog saaier. Maar, daar ga ik weer. Het is gewoon weer hetzelfde trucje. Verlengde lettergrepen moeten alles oplossen: "Say the woooooooooooord and-you'll-be-free." En twee nummers later: "What Goes ooooooooon in-your-heart?" Ander muziekje erachter, maar wat betreft de zang precies hetzelfde. Speciaal voor een luistermaatje: Luister nou eens na de voorbeelden die ik aanhaal: dit heeft werkelijk niets met het verschil in uitspraak tussen Engels en Nederlands te maken. Pas na dit album voegden ze ook eens wat anders toe aan hun arsenaal. Revolver en The white album zijn zoveel interessanter.

Quite bland to my ears. I understand it's a classic, but I really don't vibe to it too much.
Overrated.

I dunno dude. They're just not my thing. Sounds too happy go lucky. I just don't get them.
Did not like this
I don’t like the sound of the Beatles
о нет, битлз. да мы поняли уже, поняли, что вы здесь считаете великим музыкальным наследием альбомы тотальных мудаков. таков наш мир, в нем любят и принимают конченных мужиков
Rubber Soul benefits from my unfamiliarity, so at least the songs are new-ish, or I've forgotten my original impression. There's some neat sounds on this record, but I still don't care for the Beatles. As usual, I found the songs ranging from middling to awful. Just boring, derivative nothing. I hate that I still have 5 more Beatles albums coming.
Very bad. The best songs are when they were a boy band - I want to hold your hand.
Ja u ovome još ništa ne čujem osim poprilično dosadne, juvenilne, popaste muzikice. Ne znam jesam li luda. Mislila sam dati dvije zvjezdice jer je od prije 60 godina ali ipak ne vrijedi.
Not really my jam, also very disturbed by the "run for your life" song - so dark for a band that is meant to be all about love - was waiting for the theme to flip but it never did. not cool!
I didn’t know they could get even more droney but apparently they did. And WTF!? Run For Your Life.
I was going to give a higher rating to this album than I usually give to Beatles albums. But then I got to the last song and, umm, that was horrid.
Not for a fan
Most overrated band in history.
This album was not meant to be played in 2023.
Tried to listen to a couple songs and just shit it down
Bollocks
This is fine until the last song where they start threatening the life of a woman if she talks to another man. For that reason alone I'm rating this a 1. Is violence against women still this casually encouraged?
I refuse. I literally do not give a shit about these guys anymore
The good news, the songs only last about 2.5 minutes. The terrible news, there are 14 songs. Enough of these guys already. Lennon was a POS human. F off with this band.
Shite band. Don’t mistake lack of talent for genius.
Toe-tapping beats and forgettable songs for me. 'You Won't See Me' is the epitome of what I don't like about the Beatles. Super repetitive and includes a bunch of 'ooh' and 'la la la's.
ich finds echt net gut, wollte auch mal den "ganzes Beatles album gehört haben" - Award haben, habs ebr ned gschafft. Finds nicht gut d.h. jeden der Beatles gut findet, finde ich nicht gut. nix an den ist gut. vielleicht ok. dass die so berühmt geworden sind hätte uns zeigen sollen dass die zivilisierte welt nicht funktioniert und wir wieder auf bäume klettern und mit scheisse werfen sollten. der aufstieg der beatles war der untergang der moral. die haben nichts für die gesellschaft oder musik getan. nichts. hauptsachen irgendwelche bummer sagen dann, naja dmals war das richtig cool. tipp: wenn die ganze welt irgendwas cool finder kann es nicht cool sein. wenn deine musik im radio läuft oder fersehberichte drüber laufen ists vorbei. 1*
That's gonna be a no for me dawg.
My favourite Beatles album by a really really long way. Came out 3 years before bookends by s&g and contains just as many sensitive, beautifully written acoustic tracks. The highlights of the album are easily norwegian wood, nowhere man and in my life (one of the greatest songs ever written). drive my car is a fucking awful album opener and makes me want to kill myself every time I hear it so minus one point for that but every other track is near perfect.
4/5
Loved it
10/10
a fav for first album~
