A Hard Day's Night
Beatles

Other than the two singles I know nothing from here but it’s the Beatles so it’s gotta be good… The album opens with the title track it’s a very solid pop/ rock tune and a great way to open an album! I should’ve known better is okay, very lighthearted but nothing particularly special here. I like if I fell it’s got quite a downtrodden feeling to the whole track which I like for this point in the album. I’am happy just to dance with you is a shortie and seems to play a filler role but it’s still a good song. And I love her is quite good a slow acoustic jam with percussion work that sounds like pots and pans are getting hit Tell me why seems to be one of those songs with happy instrumentals but not so happy lyrics, the song isn’t necessarily dark but both elements do juxtapose well. Can’t buy me love is a solid single but it’s honestly quite a mid-tier Beatles single, nothing inherently wrong with that just not a mind blowing track. Any time at all is a solid way to open side two I really like John Lennon’s vocals here. I’ll cry instead is a folkish little short skiffle it’s okay and works really well in it’s place in the tracklist but it’s not amazing. Things we said today has a nice little bit of guitar strumming and would probably be the best but I don’t think Paul’s softer voice works too well ( I know it’s written by him so it makes sense but I still think it would’ve sounded better with John on vocals). When I get home is a great solid rocker nothing amazing but nothing dreadful. The penultimate track you can’t do that is a nice little rock n roll tune I honestly have a very similar option about this to the last song ( but this one is a tad better). I’ll be back was an amazing album closer brilliant tune! Something about the Beatles just seems to put a smile on my/ most peoples faces so that’s why an album that would normally be a 3/4 ( good but nothing mind blowing) gets away with a 5… Actually nah this is definitely a 4 I can’t give this album a 5 knowing how good late Beatles are.
