This album is sooooo 1982 but the orchestral arrangements really elevate this album above all the new wave contemporaries for me. It's got a few less exciting tracks but it's a great listen overall. It's kind of a more Bowiesque version of Duran Duran.

Just a bundle of joy.
I think With The Beatles is overall more consistent in terms of quality than Please Please Me, BUT Please Please Me has the better singles which is why I think this album gets overlooked.
Also the cover of it is just so unsymmetrical and uneven it's so jarring to look at they wasted such good pictures (poor Astrid Kirchherr).
