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.

With The Beatles
Beatles
4.1
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).
Fave songs: Please Mister Postman, All My Loving, Boys, Hold Me Tight
