The Beatles first five albums were good. But from Rubber Soul and onward they move a class up and become the greatest af all time (objective......because subjective there are about 10 bands/artist I like more).



So many outstanding tunes on this album.

Its hard to pick a favorite Beatles album, but I have to say this one blow me away. I didn't know many songs on it, but I've listened to it over and over again since I bought a copy.

I'll probably giver this a listen. Not a Beatlehead, but having heard a few Stones records, I might enjoy some Beatles records as well.

*heard it*

very nice, though I'm kinda hoping to find a record I might like better. This still trumps a lot of today's shit BTW.

Breaking out of the routine of squeezing albums between touring, Rubber Soul is the result of their

first extended period in the studio. The production is open and spacious, adorned but not yet

overcrowded with new instruments and ideas.

Lennon, whose personality and leadership has been strongly at the fore throughout the early Beatles,

really raises his game on Rubber Soul, with such thoughtful, breakthrough classics as Norwegian Wood

(which showcases Harrison on a sitar), Nowhere Man, Girl and the utterly majestic In My Life (replete

with George Martin’s flighty harpsichord solo), surely one of the most perfect songs ever written.

Lyrically, McCartney lags behind, but in some ways his lighter, poppier songs help keep Rubber Soul

fresh and bubbly, while his melodic bass-playing takes a huge leap forward, propelling everything.

There is a crisp innocence about this album, a sense of sweet delight and joyful discovery.

I love most so-called "Beatles clones" that I hear, but the Beatles are rarely anything more than just okay to me.

this was my favorite album ever before I discovered sputnik. Since then my tastes have evolved but this is still probably the record that defines my life.
