Comments: “Start!” oh wait not really. “Taxman” !!! I was very confused at first. Funny little story first. I was listening to a Jam live record before I listened to this and coincidentally the last song played was “Start!” so when this first played I thought what the fuck! It’s an amazing song. I’m not going to make excuses. “Eleanor Rigby” is a pretty sweet ditty with a nice little violin and melody. It’s not something I’m going to constantly listen to for the rest of my life, but it’s already a classic worthy of replay. I like the psychedelia involved in “I’m Only Sleeping,” which is why I gave it such a high mark. “Love You To” is weird and doesn’t excite me. Sorry, “Here” doesn’t do anything for me. It’s too slow. Not a bad song, but definitely not a favorite. “Yellow Submarine” has been noted in many musical circles as a fine song. A fine song, indeed. Just not “Juvenile” or “O Katrina.” “She Said” is rocking and catchy. “Doctor Robert” is funny, but boring. “Got to” is like King Khan and the Shrines! Good stuff! Overall, I like a lot of the tracks on here. I’m not going to say it’s a great record through and through, but it makes for some fun times.

Grade: B+ (87)

  1. “And Your Bird Can Sing” should be marked higher like A in my opinion but whatever but overall grade is on not the greatest beatle record but a very solid one

  2. ““Got to” is like King Khan and the Shrines!”

    No. No. NO. King Khan and the Shrines did not INVENT the way that they sound. They got it from a guy named James Brown, who was around 40 YEARS BEFORE KING KHAN. And as for “Got to Get You Into My Life,” Paul McCartney got *that* sound from classic soul, like James Brown, and NOT LIKE FUCKING KING KHAN BECAUSE HE WASN’T BORN.

    I’m not even saying that you THINK the Beatles ripped off King Khan. Just do me a favor and don’t *word* it like that. Kay, thanks, bye.
