A Hard Day's Night

Classic Beatles 4.5/5

It’s the Beatles, need i say more

“Bright are the stars that shine Dark is the sky I know this love of mine Will never die And I love her” One of my least revisited Beatles records but at a tight 30 minutes it’s always worth a quick spin. The highlights are unsurprisingly the title track and “Can’t Buy Me Love” but “And I Love Her” is a really beautiful song. In the context of their whole discography you can probably call this a bit of a filler album which was mostly designed to accompany the film (if it were practical I would have rewatched that as well). Still, there are few bands that could piece together a “filler” album that contains so many excellent songs. “A Hard Day’s Night” would for most other bands constitute their greatest ever work. For The Beatles it was just another small step in the journey.

A significant album historically, and with a few interesting signatures that would influence many bands and evolve into The Beatles' mastery of so many layered musical techniques. For me, listening to it on its own merits now, most of the album is an unremarkable string of jangle pop songs that sound largely the same. As an album, on the whole, I do not feel it's that remarkable. The sensation it caused was a zeitgeist of The Beatles' popular ascension at the time. History has its quirks. Were circumstances different, The Beatles' fame may have come later or not at all.

10/10 have heard this

Een aantal klassiekers, prima plaat

I think, more than pretty much any other Beatles project, I grew up on this album. I watched the movie when I was a kid, and the title track was always one of my favorites from them. So it makes sense that I really loved this. But I think its still saying something that this is so consistently enjoyable, it takes a lot of effort to make an album like this. Favorites: A Hard Day's Night, If I Fell, Can't Buy Me Love

Continually better than their previous, inching ever closer to the exceptional band they would become, but not quite arriving. The songwriting is strong, the music is fun, and the album is enjoyable to listen to top to bottom. We're still in this world of 50s/60s pop, but you can already see that they're pushing it...beyond, in some inexplicable way. Solid album.

The Beatles’ third album was a landmark achievement: their first to consist entirely of original material and the soundtrack to their iconic debut film. It is an optimistic, sharp, and melodic record. Here, you can truly hear the evolution of their song writing, moving beyond simple "boy meets girl" pop tropes. This growth is evident from the "big bang" opening of the title track to the wonderful "Can't Buy Me Love," which features a superb guitar solo from George Harrison. The ballads also reach new heights; "If I Fell" is a stunning composition with intricate vocal harmonies and tasteful instrumentation, a standard of excellence matched by the timeless "And I Love Her." While The Beatles are my favourite recording artists, I have tried to remain objective. Musically, "A Hard Day's Night" is a very strong 4-star album, with eight of the thirteen tracks being five star tracks. But for me, it just misses out on that fifth star. This is primarily due to three tracks on the album: "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You", "I'll Cry Instead" and "When I Get Home". There's nothing wrong with those tunes other than they lack the quality of their counterparts. I certainly understand why many grant the album a perfect score given its immense cultural impact, but looking strictly at the music, it is a formidable "near-perfect" collection. The sessions for this album were incredibly prolific, also producing the tracks for the "Long Tall Sally EP". This EP included: "Long Tall Sally" (a blistering version), "I Call Your Name" (which arguably deserved a spot on the main album), "Slow Down" and "Matchbox". I mention these because if some of these tracks replaced the 'weaker' three star tracks on the album we would be talking a five star album! Before this release, many critics dismissed The Beatles as a "flash in the pan" or a fad that would vanish by Christmas 1963. By delivering 13 high-quality original songs and a critically acclaimed film, The Beatles proved they were far more than a pop fad - they were serious artists. Side One 1 "A Hard Day's Night" (5/5) 2 "I Should Have Known Better" (5/5) 3 "If I Fell" (5/5) 4 "I'm Happy Just to Dance with You" (3/5) 5 "And I Love Her" (5/5) 6 "Tell Me Why" (4/5) 7 "Can't Buy Me Love" (5/5) Side Two 1 "Any Time at All" (4/5) 2 "I'll Cry Instead" (3/5) 3 "Things We Said Today" (5/5) 4 "When I Get Home" (3/5) 5 "You Can't Do That" (5/5) 6 "I'll Be Back" (5/5) Total - 57 Average - 4.38 245/1001 135/245 albums reviewed were new to me

Ahh, the Beatles. I last had them with Abbey Road at album #49. This sounds nothing like that; while it's still the Beatles, it's more of a standard pop record of the era and less of an innovative rock record like many later Beatles albums. Lyrics are standard Beatles fate, and most songs are very simple and poppy. Therefore, despite being all-original songs at a time when many pop records would put out covers, it is a basic pop album. And I don't consider any basic pop albums to have nearly the same influence as later Beatles. So I guess it stays a four.

An early example of the Beatles' songwriting prowess. Nothing groundbreaking by today's standards for sure, but in 1964 this was still revolutionary! It doesn't age quite as well as some of their later fare, but this is still an excellent collection of songs.

Obviously nothing special musically by later Beatles standards, considering it’s a lot of short poppy love songs, but overall everything is still super fun and catchy so I can’t complain!

The Rubber Soul prequel! Fun to hear the band at the turning point, right before they reach their full power. Also just a great, catchy album, period! Standouts: I Should Have Known Better • Tell Me Why • Can’t Buy Me Love • Any Time At All

So solid. A 5 for anyone else but damn, it's The Beatles. Crazy that they could make an album for a movie solely capitalizing on their popularity and both the film and the album are really good. The humor on songs like I'll Cry instead really sets this apart from other albums of this time and the songwriting is very solid. Things We Said Today is peak McCartney before he discovered carnival instruments.

This and Help! are my least listened to Beatles albums, but it doesn't matter. It still gets 5 stars. Question: Did they ever release a bad album? Answer: Not even close World's greatest band.

A hard days night, buy me love, any time at all

Easy listening

'A Hard Day's Night' is a more sophisticated album in its writing and arrangement than the Beatles' first two albums, but also lacks some of their simple, infectious charm.

It’s the Beatles. The songs are good. They are good. The hits are good but I don’t care for the rest of it. The lyrics are dated. I think they are better as they get into later albums.

Never really got into the beatles. this doesn't change things.

It's a very innocent and sweet love album. McCartney and Lennon shine through a lot with their energetic performance of the songs. It's not terribly profound. It only really scratches the surface of love, but doesn't go any deeper. The limitation probably arises in connection with contemporary customs for song length for commercial and partly technological reasons. A Hard Days Night would really benefit from longer verses, 3 verses or c-sections, so you can really dive into the material and sing more directly to the listener.

It's The Beatles, not exactly my preferred era but hard to truly go wrong.

Pretty solid little 60s pop album. Nothing really all that amazing here, but you can see why the songs caught on. Overall: 3.2/5

A hard days night, tell me why, and can’t buy me love are amazing, and the rest of the album sucks. Can’t remember thing from any of the other songs it might be at three, but I’m rounding down to two because the Beatles are overrepresented in these kinds of things.

It’s easy to dismiss this as just “pop” Beatles or the distilled essence of Beatlemania. But at some point I realized that every element that makes up the later more adventurous Beatles albums is there in the early ones, and sometimes even in a purer form. This time I noticed it in a kind of dark wistfulness of the ballads, best exemplified by Paul's "Things We Said Today." Paul's ruminations temper some of the violence of John’s lyrics, which I always notice and try to look past. Both must have been necessary to make Lennon-McCartney. How might it have looked if the darkness was the centerpiece of the album? Here’s a hint. Listen to Dylan singing “Things We Said Today” in 2017: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YV2k-GAfT0w I bet he knew how dark it was in 1964. I read elsewhere that he first thought the countdown at the beginning of "I Saw Her Standing There" was "One two three fuck" which is an incredibly punk rock thing to think at the time. Now imagine the album is called THINGS WE SAID and it’s all about the gap between public image and immediate desires. The Beatles were very much dealing with that at the time. For an appropriate core sample see this laudable collection or anecdotes involving Paul’s girlfriend Jane Asher: https://withthebeatlesgirls.tumblr.com/post/629985790874746880/pauljane-excerpts-within-the-context-of-beatles/amp Before Yoko, before LSD, John is trying to get Paul’s girlfriend to talk about masturbation very much against her will. Paul says “You can’t do that!” So perhaps that song, always heard as a possessive boyfriend, is actually John's memory of Paul reining him in. Certainly the song isn't just about cheating, but the IMAGE of cheating. "Everybody's green / 'cause I'm the one who won your love / But if they'd seen / You're talking that way they'd laugh in my face." Don't think this is about the girl, John -- and aren't you married? The next line in "You Can't Do That" is "Please listen to me if you wanna stay mine." IF.  And IF does even more work in "If I Fell." An incredibly beautiful song in melody and harmony, one I sing when I'm rocking my kid trying to get him back to sleep, but doing that also makes you realize how weird the lyrics are. The conclusion of the song is about making a former lover cry out of jealousy, presenting this new love as an act of revenge -- red flag much? But also the entire thing is happening in the singer's head because of "If." And he isn't in love with her -- he is contemplating what it MIGHT be like if he fell in love with her. To be clear I'm not trying to ruin anyone's rah-rah Beatles experience -- these songs are all the more profound for all this emotional turmoil and subtlety. I'm just trying to argue that they aren't straight up love songs, they're the lads seriously struggling with themselves and their relationships with others. In that context, the happy songs hit different. In "When I Get Home" could be John rehearsing the talk he needs to give his main chick while he's still with his side chick. "Can't Buy Me Love" is a pleading negotiation. "A Hard Day's Night" offers the usual patriarchal transaction -- I work so hard that you should "give me everything." Do I even need to explain that "I'll Be Back" is a threat? What exactly is the emotional tenor of "You could find better things to do than to break my heart again" ... because I think it's just devastating. But it's something peppy, something happy, something up-tempo, something snappy, as Tom Hanks says in "That Thing You Do." There's nothing dark to see here, no contradictions, nothing to make you want to cry "Help!"

Classic Beatles

I know it's sacrilege but I didn't grow up listening to the Beatles and I didn't like this

حتى أنني لست معجبا او متابعا لفرقة البيتلز، ولست حقا من محنكي موسيقى الروك على عكس موسيقى الهيب هوب/الراب التي يمكنني وصف نفسي فيها على أنني أمتلك ادن موسيقية جيدة، فأنا بالنسبة للروك و أغلبية الأنواع الأخرى إلا ادن تبحث عن الجديد و تريد تحسين دوقها...، استمتعت بهدا الألبوم، و طالما كانت عادتي مع ألبومات البيتلز الأقل شهرة، أحسست بنفسي أتجول شوارع إنجلترا في سبعينات القرن الماضي بسيارتي المرسيدس القديمة، بشاربي و شعري الغفير. كانت تجربة رائعة، خاصة مع قصر مدة الألبوم التي جعلته كرحلة قصيرة إلى زمن صدور الألبوم. عموما أقيمه 6.75/10

luv listening to the bugs

Have I listened to this album before? No How familiar am I with this album? I know a few songs but most early Beatles is pretty unknown to me 
How do I feel about this artist? I enjoy the Beatles, they’re not my favorite band ever but I definitely recognize their contribution to rock music. I generally prefer their later stuff. Favorite song(s)? Can’t Buy Me Love, Things We Said Today Overall Thoughts: Quality album, but some of the songs are pretty forgettable. I feel like I shouldn’t rate this against later Beatles albums but I can’t help it. There was a lot of poppy-rock music like this in the early 60s and I think it’s just not my thing. It was before 60s music got interesting and The Beatles were a big part of that, just not with this album.

All Beatles albums are enjoyable but only a couple make my 5 star level. This isn’t one of them.

"The Beatles didn't really make anything interesting until Rubber Soul" is like the least interesting or provocative thing you can say about The Beatles. Although, trying to say anything provocative about The Beatles at all is like an extremely midwit thing to do. So yeah, some people like this stuff, some people don't. Whatever man. Listen to stuff you like and don't listen to stuff you don't like. I don't really have strong opinions about early Beatles records one way or the other. This is certainly one of them. I had never noticed A Hard Day's Night had bongos before. DEAR LORD though, why are the stereo versions canon? Go into your accessibility settings and force mono if you're listening to them through headphones. Or seek out the mono versions (so they can sit in your collection and you can be smug about it while pulling out a different Beatles record than this this like 99 times out of 100).

The Beatles did make plenty of good music before Rubber Soul, but lots of it was singles-based. This is the most *historically* important of their early albums because of the movie tie-in and the fact all of the songs are original, but I prefer some of the rawness of With the Beatles/Please Please Me, and there's nothing here in my Top 30 Beatles Songs, so...am I giving this a 3? I think I'm giving it a 3.

It was cute! I can see why women in the 60s would become feral to this, but listening many years into the future, a lot of the songs are pretty samey

I don't know, man, ask me to give a 5 star rating to the concept that fried eggs are a breakfast food item. Technically this seems pretty good, even if generally I'd be more in the mood for Huevos Rancheros over just like normal sunny side up eggs with white buttered toast.

Solid Beatles album for sure. Not my fave, but solid.

Enjoyable record. Songwriting was noice. Classic Beatles tunes. I dig it

Fascinating to hear more early stuff, such a tight band

it's literally just another Beatles album.

ok albumn 3

Just amazing!!

Loistavaa Beatlesia mutta ei parasta kumminkaan. Mutta tästä sitä mentiin siihen suuntaan varmoin askelin

Not their best, but some classics in there. Enjoyed it as would do with any Beatles. Got better as it went on

At this distance, many of these songs sound like relatively generic, almost throwaway, beat-group pop. It’s hard to put yourself into the world for which a new release by the Beatles was a thing of high excitement. The fascinating thing is how they were so close to going into a much higher realm of music and songwriting. You just get glimpses of it here. Hard Day’s Night and Can’t Buy Me Love stand out by miles from most of the material here. And I Love Her fares less well when heard in its original context, but provides a template for the kind of song that Paul McCartney later excelled at. Lyrically, the phrase “hard day’s night” is itself strikingly clever and presages the greater sophistication to come. It’s interesting though to hear some rather controlling boy-girl relationship lyrics from (presumably) John Lennon in songs like I’ll Cry Instead and You Can’t Do That. These sound like an early manifestation of instincts that he later acknowledged in Jealous Guy.

Classic Beatles that's hard not to enjoy, probably because there are some well know tracks on the album. It's from a 'romantic' period for the band rather than some of the odd (but still good) albums of later years.

Infectious.

Classic Beatles. Seems so simple, but still lovely.

4 Stars (11/15)

Mmmm ja..

Two great songs. Resten av låtarna är bra men de skulle ju göra det så mycket bättre.

Notable for being their first album with all songs written by Lennon/McCartney. If I Fell is a top ten Beatles song for me. That said, their first two albums are better and just about every one after it eclipsed this one. Good album for sure, but middle of the road overall.

listened to before good album not in my top 3 for the beatles though

A Hard Day's Night 5/5 I Should Have Known Better 3/5 If I Fell 4/5 I'm Happy Just to Dance With You 3/5 And I Love Her 3/5 Tell Me Why 3/5 Can't Buy Me Love 5/5 Any Time At All 5/5 I'll Cry Instead 5/5 Things We Said Today 4/5 When I Get Home 3/5 You Can't Do That 2/5 I'll Be Back 3/5 Overall Album: 3.69

- i lije yhe lyrics - i really like what they did with this album - SOOO catchy - made me twist nd shout lowk - well put together album

A solid pop album, listened to it in one sitting. For its time, it was pretty high-level.

Just really don't care for the Beatles

you know, i can't believe this was my first beatles album! whatever this was a vibe

There are some very good songs here, including some tracks like “And I Love Her” and “Things We Said Today” that are early signs of the brave musical experimentation we would later hear on Rubber Soul and Revolver. I can’t help but think that in an alternate universe where the Beatles never changed their sound and just continued writing pop hits, we would probably look back at this album as a nice collection of catchy songs instead of an “important album by the greatest band in the world.” Take away the Beatles name, and this is a solid album with some solid tunes.

Best of the “early” Beatles. All songs written by John and Paul and all excellent!

I've never been a Beatles fan, they've just not done anything for me, but I tried to listen to this with an open mind. It was fine. Every song was pleasant sounding, and I bopped my head along a few times. But that was kind of it. Not much really stood out beyond just being pleasant non-offensive 60's pop. "Any Time At All" was the one song that started out with a lot of promise. John's delivery during the opening chorus suggested something fiery was coming. Then it fell back into that sing-songy mellow verse, and it just lost the momentum.

It’s good. Very catchy.

Idk, I think it's ok. It's kinda simple, but it's ok

BEATLES MANIA!!!! UGHHHH!!! I love the Beatles their suave vocals, sweet melodies and beautiful music is something that few bands/groups can do but they nailed it perfectly, this album has some of my favorite tracks. Fav is George ;) another great classic.

Bangers. It's dangerous when vocalists cover their songs. 4.2.

Personal enjoyment: 4/5 Relevance to this list: 5/5

I cannot stand the Beatles. I mostly just avoided them before but I've now had to listen to four of their albums in 60 days and it's pushed them into "visceral reaction of pure rage" when I see their name pop up. I hope this is the last one.

On continue ce carnet de bord des "1001 Albums" avec un morceau de choix, ou plutôt un gros morceau de calcaire musical : A Hard Day's Night des Beatles. Je vais être direct : je n'ai jamais été un grand fan des quatre garçons dans le vent. Pour moi, les Beatles, c'est souvent trop propre, trop brossé dans le sens du poil, comme une chambre d'ado rangée par sa mère. On est en 1964, je n'étais même pas né (rappel : je suis de 70), mais en bossant chez un disquaire indé et en radio, j'en ai bouffé du Lennon-McCartney jusqu'à l'indigestion. Alors, cet album ? C'est le sommet de la "Beatlemania", le disque qui accompagne le film. Pour la première fois, ils ne font que de l'original, pas de reprises de Motown pour boucher les trous. Le morceau titre démarre avec ce fameux accord de Rickenbacker 12 cordes qui a fait mouiller tous les futurs gratteux de la planète, de Roger McGuinn à Tom Petty. C'est efficace, ça claque, on ne peut pas leur enlever ça. Mais à part deux ou trois titres qu'on se cogne sur tous les best-of — les classiques "Can't Buy Me Love" ou "And I Love Her" — le reste, c'est d'un conformisme... C'est de la pop guillerette pour passer à la télé en costume cravate. Des trucs comme "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You" ou "Tell Me Why", c'est gentil, c'est mignon, mais ça casse pas trois pattes à un canard. C'est le genre de soupe qu'on servait aux gamines en transe pendant que nous, on attendait que quelqu'un invente enfin le feedback. C'est "propre", trop propre même. Il n'y a pas cette crasse, cette urgence que j'aime chez certains groupes. Ici, tout est calibré par George Martin pour plaire à tout le monde, de la grand-mère au petit frère. C'est le triomphe de la mélodie facile. Alors oui, c'est historique, c'est le "peak" de leur première période, mais franchement, on s'ennuie un peu dans ce salon de thé musical. Ma note, un 3 sur 5. C'est honorable, c'est juste la moyenne pour l'effort de composition et l'influence indéniable que cet album aura sur la pop à venir, mais on repassera pour le frisson. C'est un album de bons élèves... et moi, les bons élèves, ils m'ont toujours un peu tapé sur le système.

Not my fav beatles album but all their stuff is good

if you're not a George stan when you're 25, you have no heart; if you're not a Paul stan by the time you're 35, you have no brain

This album collects your thoughts after a hard day's work.

I love this album. It's poppy and fun but evolved from where they started.

The Beatles may be the greatest band in the history of bands.

better than peppers

Is it ridiculous to say that A Hard Day's Night is underrated? Sure it's made by the Beatles, but it's never mentioned alongside their legendary 5 album run from Rubber Soul to Abbey Road. In my opinion, this album is easily of the quality of the 5, and I'd personally place it within my top 5 Beatles records. Its just so much fun, but has depth and range and genuinely clever and intricate songwriting. 5/5

A classic!!

Ahh, I have very vivid memories tied to this album. I remember driving for hours through the southern U.S.A. to get to Destin, FL with this album playing on repeat in the family car. When I hear this album, I think of white Gulf of Mexico sand, Gameboy Advance, Spongebob in the hotel room, and souvenir shops full of beach and pirates ship trinkets. Thanks Mom and Dad for that trip. For nostalgia reasons, this will get a higher rating, but it's also just a good album. There's a reason The Beatles have been so popular and so successful for so long. It's classic British pop rock, the drums are clean and precise, the bass is on point, and the lyrics are shallow, light hearted, and simple. It's everything that makes pop, pop. 10/10.

60's pop at it's peak. Can't go wrong with this one.

5 stars, loved it

I mean yeah its The Beatles so like what can you really do. Its a decent album with music that would rock your world in the 60's. But its been 60 years and I don't know maybe it's the wrong Beatles album for me.

It's a great album and iconic and all that, but I've heard it so many times just in movies/tv. Of course it's great and still a fun listen every once in a while and I'm sure it changed music etc... It's just not something that I would listen to or seek out just due to the saturation I experienced growing up. Great stuff for the generation before mine. It is interesting how short all the songs are and how short the entire album is when you listen to it all at once.

buenooo me gusto mucho dentro de este álbum está una de mis canciones favs de ellos ¨ and i lover her¨, me encanta esa focking canciónnnn. La portada es iconic en todos los sentidos y pues ya dije q me gusto y asi es un buen álbum pero no el mejor diria yio

Delightful!

Amazing harmony and composition

Great Beatles album

Abysmal

I must admit that I kind of struggle to care about pre-Rubber Soul Beatles albums. That being said, A Hard Day's Night is definitely one of the best pre-Rubber Soul Beatles albums. But I was not someone who was raised on The Beatles, and these songs do not live in my DNA, like they seem to for so many. So when I hear A Hard Day's Night, I can really just hear a collection of good songs. I understand that The Beatles were doing groundbreaking stuff in pop music, but as someone who did not live through it, I just don't love these songs enough to force myself to mentally travel to 1964 in order to justify a 5 star rating. And even if it wasn't exactly the same sort of music, people were making great, groundbreaking stuff before The Beatles. It's just that if I say that I think The Shape of Jazz To Come or something like that was a greater musical leap forward, I sound like a lunatic because an entire Earth's worth of music listeners happened to disagree, which then causes the Beatles to win the culture war that was never really happening. But at the same time, I do understand how incredible it was that the most popular band on Earth insisted on consistently evolving their sound, all while retaining their status as the most popular band on Earth. Anyways, I digress: as I said, this is a very consistent collection of good pop songs. They're brisk, catchy, and musically distinct. They're also all originals, which was unique for the time. There really isn't anything bad here, but at the same time, there isn't anything that truly penetrates my cold, callous, Beatles-Skeptic heart enough to make me regularly revisit this. There are Beatles albums I truly love, but this era just doesn't work for me the way it seems to work for so many.

Standard Beatles fare! "And I Love Her" struck home, very nice. The rest was fine but didn't really connect. Very listenable though.

Pre-psychedelia Beatles are just fun little guys jamming. You can't help but move to the title track. The rest of the tracks are pretty cool too, but the album's kinda short. Its okay 6/10

Early Beatles that is raw but tight. Starting to sound dated but still a good listen

Kinda everything I dislike about the Beatles with a little bit of what I like about them

Bright, catchy songs. Every song is fabulous.

Classic Beatles. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed their earlier stuff until i went back and listened to all of it. Solid hits and cool deeper cut tracks

I mean it's the Beatles right? Iconic everything. This is not my favorite album of theirs or sound really, for me everything kicks in from Rubber Soul on. But we know every single song they put out is at least a 3/5 if not higher. I can't believe this is the first Beatles album I've gotten. All I can hear before even starting my listen is that chord kicking off 'Hard Days Night'. I'll repeat myself this is not my favorite of theirs, 'If I Fell', 'I Should Have Known Better', 'Can't Buy Me Love' are all seriously amazing songs.

No one can dispute this is a classic album and the list would be incomplete without the Beatles

fave song: a hard day's night

The first Beatles album I actually liked!

Leuk, bager na banger, maar weinig variatie

After six tracks or so, I began to lose interest. The title track and Can’t Buy Me Love aside, it all sort of blended into one. I wanted the songs lesser known to me to pique my interest more than they did, but I was left underwhelmed.

Es gab wirklich zu viel 'I love you' in diesen Songs. Waren sie faul, oder wollten sie nur das schnelle Geld machen?

Mesela bu da diğer albümlere benziyor aslında ama güzel geliyor? vocal vibes sanrmm

omg its the Beatles.sounding exactly like Beatles. its like they have the Beatles essence in their core.

Didn't think I was that into early Beatles, but this really had some bangers! In particular, I Should Have Known Better and Any Time At All really stood out. Still not that into Can't Buy Me Love, but wonder if that would have really hit when the world was in black and white. Overall, sold!

very 80s obviously. good but not in the mood.

Love it 4/5

Yeah, ok.

An absolute classic. (A reminder to me to edit this later so that I can write a more detailed review)

The good songs are as good as Early Beatles can be, but the bad ones are BAD. Thankfully the good ones outnumber the bad by around 11:2, so that's great Movie's a nice time as well

5 stars just for the intro chord.

solid beach boys battle album but definitely the worst work of the Beatles

So many love songs.. abit too many for a 5 star but incredibly ahead of their time and amazing song making 4.5.

Nice warm feeling album felt homey an real but overall just a really good album nothing that completely blew me away

A bit plain-sounding, compared to their later work, of course, but still great.

This was...fine. I used to viscerally loathe the Beatles, mostly because I couldn't stand the songs of theirs that I heard played on the radio, most of which I determined were pop dreck. I've moderated a bit in my old age, and now consider them somewhat listenable. I mean, Revolver is a legit great album that I'm pretty sure I awarded a 5. Nonetheless, this is a band I won't typically voluntarily listen to, particularly the first six albums. But, as noted, with age and wisdom (and possibly worse knees), I won't leap to the radio to turn them off. This album definitely falls under the category of "won't play voluntarily/will leave on the radio." I had to take a break mid-listen to play some Caspar Brötzmann, but I was able to go back and finish the task at hand. The title track and You Can't Do That are perhaps the best tracks on here. Overall, this about a 2.5, so I'll round to 3 for the great artwork on the album cover.

It's hard not to grade Beatles albums on a curve. It seems like we are going to see most of their discography and solo albums too. The hits on this one are good, but not my favorite. I'm a big fan of If I Fell, And I Love Her, and Tell Me Why. The second half is not nearly as strong.

It's great to really sit down and listen to these classic songs that you think you know, and appreciate new things about them.

7/10

Favourite song- Can't buy me love Worst song- I'll be back Rating 3.5/5

A classic! I was 5 years old when this was first released and so I didn't listen to it seriously until much later, in my teen years. But it's been one of my favorites since the 70's.

Awesome catchy Rock/Pop Album

Tell me why is a banger. Title track bangs Can't Buy Me Love is a cracker If i fell, decent Its clearly great, but its not 5. I just prefer latter half beatles. 4

one of the beatles albums ever

It's a Beatles album.

17/01/2026 Beatles really have surprised me. I won't go out of my way to listen to them... but they're not a bad listen. Spotify listeners: 34.4 million

fav song - and I love her

Fav song- if I fell

I'm not a fan of the Beatles. I appreciate what they have done for music but can't really get into them.

The third Beatles album is a major improvement over the first two. While I consider Help! and most of the albums that come after as better than this one, it still is a very important and significant album for the Beatles' career. Its back when an album was just a collection of songs rather than its own constructed thing. This one is a great example of what albums used to be.

Their third album. Rock / Pop. Those two opening tracks are great, If I Fell, And I Love Her and Can't Buy Me Love are all stone cold classics too. This is probably their most 'Pop' album. John bring cheeky and in your face while Paul is hitting us a little more softly. Wonderful album.

I did not enjoy:(

this album is fine. i feel like i would like it more if i listened to it 20 more times but i don’t think ill ever do that lol. some good songs here and there but i don’t really care for them. they have better songs in other albums. their early stuff is okay. 5/10

My least favorite of all their Albums

It's the Beatles so it's a solid album. Not crazy about it though.

I love this album! “And I Love Her” is my favorite song. I adore this sweet early era of the Beatles. These songs make me want to dance! 🕺 The melody and harmonies on “Things We Said Today” are haunting. “You Can’t Do That” is not my fav—it does not age well. I love the Spanish guitar they use on this album!!!

A solid album overall, but older Beatles just doesn't do a whole lot for me. 3/5

✅️

Не фанат Битлз, альбом предсказуемо 6/10 для меня. Приятенькое звучание, но нудно и большинство песен звучат одинаково. Топ-3: 1) And I Love Her 2) I'll Be Back 3) A Hard Day's Night

Fun album. I am still preferring the later Beatles work for the most part, but it's a great pop album, great harmonies in the singing, enjoyable album.

too noise

"8/10" - baeli "7/10" - robert

A Hard Day's Night is certainly a fitting end for my Beatles journey on this list (minus that one George Harrison album i have yet to do) not because it's a great album but because it is more or less exemplary of The Beatles' early career. It's really boring, samey, repetitive and pretty much does nothing unique or special or that hasn't already been done. It also might be the worst of the Beatles albums i have listened to thus far because even the other Beatles albums i gave a 2 at least had one standout track, this one doesn't really have any. This album was not unbearable which is why i can't justify giving this 1 star but it just reinforces the fact (to me, at least) that the Beatles were a band that never really hit their stride until 1966. Best Song: You Can't Do That Worst Song: If I Fell Side Note: Since this is my last Beatles album (by the whole band of course) here is the rankings of them: 1. The Beatles (The White Album) 2. Revolver 3. Abbey Road 4. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 5. Rubber Soul 6. With The Beatles 7. A Hard Day's Night

The Beatles are always incredible, but there’s something about their later-era work that is especially magical. That stretch feels like watching a band evolve in real time—pushing boundaries, experimenting fearlessly, and turning pop music into something deeper, stranger, and more ambitious. So this album is great but not my favorite Beatles work.

Not my favourite Beatles album by a long shot but there were some little songs on here. The title track starts the album in a perfect way with the first chord setting the vibe. Can’t buy me love is another classic. The harmonica playing on I Should Have Known Better was amazing. A great “new” find

Nothing but sugar

a classic for a reason

I really enjoy the ballads during this time, but the entire album… eh

Classic!

Die Jungs haben Potenzial, schade dass der Schlagzeuger den Takt nicht trifft

Beatles are my favorite band of all time, but you can sort of hear how this early album is very cookie cutter and presented as what was then considered like - new wave pop. Some absolute bangers on there though. Reminds me of childhood.

Hate to give any Beatles release less than a 4 considering their influence. I’m not making a point or weird statement about anything or trying to have an original “take” on the most popular band of all time. Just listening to this record on its own, there are a handful of tracks that weren’t memorable.

I dont like it

Just a classic album

Classic Beatles album. Of course it’s a banger

An easy listen

The Beatles... what else can be said?

The perfect pop album! Always loved it, always will.

start of rock and roll

This album was perfect for it's time, and every time. The harmonies are superb.

no m gusto mucho

- I used to listen to the Beatles a lot, but I don’t anymore now that I know that John engaged in DV and Paul is a Zionist. - It’s not my favourite Beatles period - I find this stuff dated in that sunny simple 60s and/or sexist way. - Obviously, there are some classic tunes on here — The instrumentation can be kind of basic, but the songwriting is solid, and you can hear that they're getting more interesting than their older stuff. I love how "And I Love Her" has a great minor sound with positive lyrics and "Tell Me Why" has a major sound with sad lyrics, I always love those contradictions in music. - There's also a lot of filler.

The Beatles' first album of all original material is also a big improvement over their previous album. While most of the songs follow the same formula, it also has a bit more variety, with "If I Fell" and especially "And I Love Her" being slower and looser than their typical pop rock sound. "Can't Buy Me Love" is probably my favorite song here, as I like its doo-wop feel and its lyrics. The first side is definitely stronger than the second, and by the end the variety has waned and its worn out its welcome. None of the songs are bad necessarily, though the lyrics on "You Can't Do That" come off as a bit controlling. This is probably their best album before Help even if it doesn't quite hint at the heights they'd eventually reach. This is a low 3, but it's a 3.

this album put me to sleep

it’s the Beatles

Not the best of the early Beatles, but it's still Beatles

I love this album it was fine. I believe The Beatles weren't "legendary" with this album but ı love the tenderness and the lyrics of the songs. I got shivers while listening "I'll Be Back" I LOVE THE "I'LL BE BACK".

song 1: 8/10 song 2: 10/10 song 3: 7/10 song 4: 6,5/10 song 5: 5,5/10 song 6: 9/10 song 7: 6/10 song 8: 7/10 song 9: 6,5/10 song 10: 6/10 song 11: 7,5/10 song 12: 8/10 song 13: 6/10

#2/1001 🇺🇸 and a Beatles album already. This is great fun, packed with 2 1/2 minute pop songs. Its obviously part of their evolution but I'm (maybe unfairly) comparing it with their later more experimental records, so its getting 3 stars. Can't buy me Love and And I Love Her are the stand out tracks for me.

Did not like it

Not much you can say about this album that hasn’t been said a million times. This album really marked their growth and maturity into The Beatles we would all come to love. My favorite thing about this album is its ability to speak so deeply to the Universal truths we all experience. The Beatles had such a unique way of mixing joy and pain in their music and lyrics, and this is a perfect example of it. I think what made them truly great was their ability to connect both music and story very universally and relevantly to our souls.

Ugh. Look, I'm a Beach Boys guy.

I see Beatles. I click 5*

The singles are decent. Mostly filler. Later albums are much better.

Always has been one of my favorites from The Beatles especially pre-rubber soul era. Lots of great memories with some of the more popular songs from this album as well as the movie. Really start to see the talents of Lennon and McCartney song writing start to shine here. An easy listen and great to hear them start to find their stride. They are the best to ever do it and look forward to hearing a lot more Beatles albums with this challenge.

Fine overall, and relatively unique for 60s standards (musically at least, not so miluch thematically: "love love love love love"). 3/5 On second listen, I really can't get past how so many songs are about love and just how repetitive they are. My 4 year old were listening with me and even noticed: "this song is about love too??". Sorry Beatles, but give me yeat/charli xcx any day. 2.4/5 -> 2/5

Solid classic Beatles

Bubble gum pop rock, not really my thing. I enjoyed hard days night and can't buy me love, but the rest feels like a bit of a wash of the same twangy, earnest sound that doesn't really do it for me. 3/10

Good album. Hard to give the Beatles anything below a 4 star.

I don’t like the Beatles

Liked Songs: - A Hard Day's Night - I'm Happy Just To Dance With You - Tell Me Why - Can't Buy Me Love - Any Time At All - You Can't Do That - I'll Be Back

It's a better than bad so 6/10 3/5

I tend to listen to a range of music genres but even though I know and like some of the big Beatle’s songs I have never actually listen to a whole album of theirs before. I did like this album there is some nice songs in here for sure standouts to me being ‘im happy just to dance with you’, ‘and I love her’ and ‘can’t buy me love’. I can definitely appreciate and respect what the Beatles have done from listening to this album as well as hearing what others say about them. However, this album was just good for me not great, an enjoyable listen yes but not life changing.

Vanilla music, nothing exciting but not bad

Fun album with some cool psychedelia infused. Was that intentional, or is that even accurate? Not sure, but regardless, the Beatles doing what they be doing. Churning out ultra catchy ditties.

Beatles beat all

An excellent album from start to finish, not groundbreaking to say. Super quick listen but all bangers

Captures the early Beatles pop-rock formula and the essence of Beatlemania and a "band as a personality" archetype. Neat timing because we just got the Byrds the other day. I learned specifically of the influence of this album on their sound of Mr. Tambourine Man and, subsequently, 60s rock. Particularly Harrison's jangly Rickenbacker 12-string. Not many opening chords are as instantly recognizable as this one. Can't say it holds up quite as well as their later more experimental albums, as it still contains elements of the early pop "Everly Brothers-style" lightweight rock. I think i like the singles but could leave the rest to the "historically important but sonically left behind" list.

When I’m in the mood for a Beatles fix, I rarely reach for anything pre–Rubber Soul. Because of that, it had been a while and coming back now, I appreciate the songs and the songwriting a lot more than I remembered.

A fun and sweet Beatles record. Infectious hits with great harmonies and melodies.

It doesn't show much of what they would become. Still its a good collection of simple pop songs.

I don't think there's an album in the Beatles Discography that I wouldn't give a 5 to.

Es un lindo album, no soy fan de John pero a pesar de eso me gusta. Los Beatles tontos enamorados me dan ternura y me dan muchas ganas de escucharlos así.

Its The Beatles! I know they are good! But also I listen to them and I feel bored But then Can't By Me Love comes on and holy moly I get it. (this will happen with every Beatles album. I don't think they are an album artist)

I am very biased when it comes to The Beatles. I unabashedly love them. I have since my young childhood. They were my favorite band for a very long time, something I shared with my mom in my youth. Admittedly I do prefer their later albums, but I also think their earlier ones have many great tunes. This record in particular is probably my favorite of their first few, given that there are no covers and what could feel like some toss-offs. It feels like their first fully formed album. In listening today I once again tried to do so with fresh ears, and what took me a bit by surprise was my preference for songs that used to take a bit of a backseat. These included And I Love Her, Any Time At All, and You Can't Do That. The other thought is that there is only one song that did absolutely nothing for me, and that was When I Get Home. My last comment is that the movie A Hard Day's Night is awesome and adds to the enjoyment of the music immensely. It's funny and touching (at times) and shows what Beatlemania was really like.

Кращий з ранніх бітлів. Взагалі я б йому поставив 4.5. Але тут як завжди треба визначитися чітко і підвищу на 5, бо в порівнянні з більшістю біт гуртів того часу Бітли просто на голову вище.

Я не великий прихильник ранніх бітлз, але цей альбом люблю. And I Love Her - одна з перших пісень, яку я на гітарі навчився грати від початку до кінця (причому навіть партії обидвох гітар).

LOVE this album! Sang it in 5th grade because we had too and I will never forget it. Can't Buy Me Love is my favorite track on the album.

This was fine. Very easy listen and only 30 minutes long. However at my core I am not excited by the Beatles. Title track slaps and some other Beatles songs do too but the rest of it I find samey. I will always respect the instrumentation, the musicality and the huge influence which the Beatles had on music, specifically pop music - but I will never go back for the listen.

sonically beautiful well played and filled with catchy tunes, but god damn these boys are such sweeties i cant take this shit. too many mushy love songs for my taste, my least favorite kind of song. highlights: ripper solo on A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, latin influences on AND I LOVER HER makes me forget it's sappy for a while, ANY TIME AT ALL has a chorus with a nasty little riff that shows some early edge, THINGS WE SAID TODAY is spooky. I like that. 3

the repetitive jolly nature of the first few songs had me quite hesitant. enjoyed hearing 'I'm Happy Just To Dance With You' and 'And I Love Her'. then we fell back into that merry-go-round folk feel....

"And I Love Her" is the best song out of the whole album. A lot of the songs gave the same lovey dovey.

Absolute quality- every tune a banger and soooo well produced for its day.

It's no Abbey Road, but it's still fantastic

January 4, 2026 - January 4, 2026 - I completely understand why the Beatles are like One Direction of the 1960s; however, this was my second Beatles album in a row, and as much as the songs are extremely catchy and I love listening to the foundation of the British Invasion, all the songs sound extremely similar.

The album that started the Beatles mania. At times it feels a bit twee, so tame compared with where they will go. There are classics here- “A Hard Days Night”, “And So I Love Her”. “Can’t Buy Me Love”. Oh to have been there when these songs were taking over the radio waves.

3/5

Not my thing really but was short and fun!

I went into this one thinking I'd enjoy it a lot more than I actually did, it wasn't the worst, had a few songs I'd probably put on a 'Favorite Beatles' mixtape(A Hard Day's Night, I'm Happy Just To Dance With You, Can't Buy Me Love, maybe Any Time At All) but 4/13 songs that I like and wouldn't skip doesn't really elevate the album past 2 stars for me.

Classic - enjoyed it

Very fresh and upbeat

A classic.

Woah the no more fan mail guy has a band. But yeah it surprises me I got 9% through the project before encountering anything Beatles. I knew most the songs already and a lot of good stuff

Not my favorite Beatles album, but has some great sing along songs.

Finished in the car ride from San Antonio to Houston!

This is very Beatlemania. A bunch of catchy love songs with jangly guitars. Easy listening, pop-forward… every cheesy thing you ever said to your high school ex.

Classic

Solid early Beatles album

Pretty good, especially Can't Buy Me Love and Hard Days Night. But hey, it's the Beatles and it's their mainstream stuff before they got weird.

This was somehow even more 60s cheese than I was expecting. Almost every song just sounded like a copy-paste of each other. There's hardly any creativity here, and this is only enjoyable if you're young and don't have a properly developed music taste. 'Can't Buy Me Love' is probably the only good one on here.

It’s the Beatles, it’s good, and it’s also exactly what i was expecting.

I've never been a big fan of Beatles and I thought their music wasn't my kind of thing, but this album is very catchy and has some good tracks. Overall I'm positively surprised.

Really liked a few of these- the rest weren't notable. One sounded like early Decemberists kind of which I liked.

I liked this more than I thought. I still think the Beatles are overdone, and I can't really blame them for that - it's just the way of things. There songs on this album were catchier and better than other Beatles albums I've tried.

por qué son tan cortas las canciones??? no puedo puntuar bajo a los beatles porque gracias a ellos tenemos a one direction, pero -1 punto por recordarme a una ex

boy band pre boy bandova zanimljivo sto su pesme kratke (<3 min), a 1960 neke su

Cmon now. It’s the first Beatles album with only original material. Banger of a pop album

Good but not the best Beatles album

Meg

It’s interesting listening to the early rock music that would later influence both rock and pop genres. It’s a cohesive album with a flowing theme.

Another absolute classic

Road trip with the family. We all sang along, perfect use of this record/band.

Surprisingly short songs. Not for me

i really enjoyed this album!! definitely will be revisiting this in the future :)

There is better Beatles

bon, pas le meilleur

this is such a different beatles experience from my previous listens and as a lover of pop I could not help but be so pleased

I liked it! B side was kinda weak but And I Love Her is great.

It’s difficult to rate an absolute classic. Like many, I prefer the later Beatles, but acknowledge this had to come first. The early Beatles are also totally a vibe, and with tight harmonies on tracks like If I Fell, it’s easy to see what sparked the Beatlemania obsession. They were excellent. As I kid, I was only exposed to early Beatles. So in a way, I associate these youthful songs with my own youth. The lyrics carry an innocent wisdom. The guitar work is simple, but does the trick. As I grew, I ventured into the later Beatles, so I had an opportunity to experience the expansion of human experience alongside the Fab Four in a somewhat mirrored trajectory. Once I heard Rubber Soul and Revolver though, I rarely returned to A Hard Day’s Night. Occasionally I’d return to Help. But, there is a feeling that once you venture into the more complex, interesting, and mature Beatles, the early albums seem base. If I were rating all the Beatles albums, A Hard Day’s Night would be near the bottom of my personal list. When excluding obvious influence and how this album helped to form society as we know it, when one just looks at the music itself compared to the other albums on this list, it still does rank pretty high. That’s a testament to the Beatles. They’re still music’s biggest name across all listener-types for a reason. Would we still revere A Hard Day’s Night if The Beatles broke up after making it, if they hadn’t recorded anything else? It’s impossible to fathom, since the butterfly effect would gut what music became without The Beatles entirely, but I do think it’d be on this list.

Been waiting for a Beatles album for a while.. a classic

i enjoyed it more as it went on.

A solid Beatles record, my favorite from the Beatlemania era. Amazing songs from Paul and John. The "A hard days night" chorus is phenomenal and songs like and I love her and if I fell are beautiful.

There is nothing left to say about this album or the Beatles. For me personally, it's... musically: expertly crafted '60s guitar pop thematically: tediously repetitive

Beatles bringing some real toxic masculinity there towards the end of this one. Not my favorite Beatles album. I can't imagine it is anyone's favorite Beatles album. I don't know what my favorite Beatles album is (maybe Let it Be just to be different) but it's not this.

Stark

A solid early Beatles album, they had finally moved away from a mixture or original and cover songs, and while this has its weak moments, the highs are so so good such as "And I Love Her", "Can't Buy Me Love", "Things We Said Today", and "I'll Be Back". A step up from the early Beatles to more mature Beatles.

Young Pop Beatles while fun, can all blend together. Sure there are Harmonies, but I am not convinced of the singing ability of any of the Four. Maybe I am just used to the modern sheen of contemporary singing which smooths out any and all rough edges to a shiny perfection. And yes, recording is different 60 years later, but these songs all sound like first takes, or were recorded live. It's The Beatles though so any and all criticisms come from having experienced this all of my life, and experienced their widespread influence on all music.

To attempt to criticise this record for the consistency of its 3-minute bangers would be tantamount to accusing Pythagoras of being a touch formulaic with his “a² + b² = c²” material. The fact of the matter is that every drumbeat, bass line, strum, arpeggio, solo, lyric or harmony sits precisely where it was always meant to; that each verse, chorus and middle eight fits precisely where it should; that each song on this album fits jigsaw like in place; and that the album sits snugly as a cornerstone of twentieth century pop music development. It might not be the most challenging Beatles record, but some of the magic of songs like “A Hard Days Night”, “I Love Her”, “Can’t Buy Me Love” is how effortlessly they’re received. It might not be difficult to work out the missing side of a triangle – but it took a genius to make it easy.

really fw the song if I fell. nice album to just listen while drawing or painting

it was fun I guess! Fav: Can’t Buy Me Love

not my favorite Beatles album but it had some good songs! sometimes it just felt repetitive

Nice music, what you'd expect from The Beatles. Beautiful melodies, soft guitars and voices, creative compositions. 3,75/5.

banger

can't believe this album is on here...Revolver is their best album tho

Early signs of John's abusive tendencies, eh

It's the Beatles. I love it. I don't know that it's my favorite of their albums, but still better than most.

I’ve never been a massive Beatles person so this was new to me. But it’s inoffensive. Very short songs though. I don’t know but I always considered older songs to be longer. But pleasantly surprised. Favourite songs: Hard days night I’m happy just to dance with you Can’t buy me love

Omiljene: a hard’s day night , any time at all, I’ll cry insted, you can’t do that Ukupno: 3,63/5 Sve u svemu bas dobar album, mislila sam da će biti malo dosadan ali uospte nije. Super ritam i muzika- chill, happy, prolece, žuta boja vibes

Good album if I was a teenage girl in the 60s this would've hit but as of now I'm not the biggest Beatles fan I like their music but it doesn't speak to me. And I Love Her sounds just like My Sweet Lord or whatever it is by George Harrison(?). It was interesting and I added most songs to my general playlist. Favourite: Any Time At All/Things We Said Today Least favourite: You Can't Do That

5. The album begins with perhaps the most famous rattling chord in rock history to start an album. And it's the Beatles....5.

Just masterful songcraft and playing, cool experiments - folks will perhaps always argue about that opening chord. Movie's fun too.

Some good classics recently

AMAZING

Pop music with a capital P. I'm waiting for the drugs to kick in and the sound to get weird Sgt. Pepper, but it never does. It’s the sonic equivalent of a very nice, very tidy haircut. Spins: 1 Playlist Additions - A Hard Day's Night - I Should Have Known Better - Can't Buy Me Love

Iconic early Beatles. This is album of songs, many I know word for word. 'And I love her' is my stand out. It is difficult to see how the Beatles would evolve to invent the album.

Classic

Very good album, has one of my fav Beatles songs - And I Love Her. I’ve listened to this album many times & always enjoy it.

The Beatles aren't really my thing. 3.5⭐

their weakest album

It's tough to give this anything less than 5 stars. It's arguably the best of the early Beatles albums, and pretty much every song is a banger.

I mean, come on. It's the Beatles. Even their early hokey stuff is pretty damn good. Almost every song on this album is a banger and most of them were hits of which I can sing almost every word. Five stars.

classic beatles. cant go wrong, every song is great

My favorite song was And I Love Her. I thought most of the songs kinda sounded the same tbh but i don’t think it was a bad album. I’ve never been much a Beatles fan but I wanted to give them a chance with this album

A million things have been written about this, but it's still very good, especially considering how quickly it was made.

The film was better :-)

I love the Beatles

Good

Yep, sounds exactly like classic ‘60s Beatlemania.

Yes

With A Hard Day's Night, we finally enter the first of 3 Beatles "soundtrack" albums where it blurs the line between original soundtrack for a film and studio release. This is really where The Beatles started to pump out some quality Pop Rock in their typical 60s sound where they still continued to sound above a majority of other releases while not ever doing anything too crazy. It is a safe project by all means, but not to the extent of With The Beatles. The songs are more thoughtful and charming as well as being enjoyable from front to back as this is The Beatles' shortest project ever. All and all, Hard Day's Night is a solid album with solid songs in a solid discography. There really isn't too much else that can be said here if you ask me.

It's very good especially for the 60s but I fant help but think The Beatles have better. 3/5

Ok, I get that it's The Beatles, but why would you include this and not the first record? I think that one is much more deserving. This one is just ok.

It’s The Beatles, so you pretty much know exactly what you’re gonna get when you press play. I’m sure this was a revolutionary sound back in the early 60s, but it seems so pedestrian to me here in 2025. My music tastes are just not at all into the British Invasion stuff. The hits are really good, but the glut of deep cuts on here just don’t hit for me at all. 3/5

More Beatles... 60s pop rock. Maybe it broke ground then, but it's just boring today... Best track - I'm Happy Just to Dance With You, And I Love Her, Tell My Why 3 stars

HELL YEAH

I liked it, but it’s not what I would really listen to, I added like 3-4 songs of the album on my playlist and the rest I found it cool but yeah

great album

sommige nummers kende ik al maar ik kende dit album zelf nog niet. Wel leuk, classic beatles geluid en album

All you need is love… oh baby. I wish I was alive during these age. If I could just wear nice clothes and shoes, and hang at the sugar bar and drink milkshakes and dance with the beautiful ladies I would be happy following the law of the Beatles. Love these scousers..

Classic, romantic, emotional, warm!!!

I love this album and have listened to it a lot lately

I don’t care what people say about early Beatles, this album is a delight to listen to.

What strikes me about this collection, now, or one of the things, is that here you really see John and Paul emerging as their early personas: Paul as the impish charmer with a gift for rhythm and melody (a la Can't Buy Me Love) and John as the tortured, jealous self-styled Brando, James Dean Lothario womanizer type (on some really brutal tracks like You Can't Do That) and it's such a schism of mood that it allows young George to come peering through the cracks here with a song or two... this is a moment where you can really see what thrilled and terrified the culture, this biblical choir with raw teen horniness at the root, angels with dirty faces, the band becoming themselves.

this is my sixth beatles album. wtf? they can be as legendary as they want but there's no way this legitimates putting 6 of their albums into a best of compilation of all times. i'm starting to give them 1 star out of spite now...

Perfection

Comme la majorité des albums pré-Rubber Soul, c’est un très bon recueil de chansons avec plusieurs gros hits, mais sans grande cohésion. Je maintiens que la liste aurait dû inclure Please Please Me au lieu de cet album ou bien With The Beatles, que je trouve par son innocence et son enthousiasme bien plus tight et consistant.

A really good album, I liked A Hard Day's Night and I Should Have Known Better the most.

GOING IN: No strong feelings LISTENED WHILE: with my morning cuppa FAMILIARITY: Know a few songs SKIP RATE: Played it straight through REPLAY VALUE: Once was plenty DISCOVERY CURVE: Got it by the end ALBUM ARC: Solid all the way VERDICT: Fair enough BODY'S VERDICT: Decent head wobble FAVOURITE TRACK: Can't Buy Me Love My Rating: 3

Nice feel good love songs.

Listenable.
