Free Music Review: Always a Win with the BEATLES
Hit: 5 Stars
Anyone who says that the Beatles are just washed out oldie pop music has no concept of what goes into making music. The beatles started out a group of youngsters that could barely play three chords and grew into some of the greatest natural musicians ever.
There is no age barrier for this music, I have seen 4 year old children get hooked from the first Beatle song they ever heard and bands today are still trying to take from the Beatles.
This album has a few of the best Beatle's songs ever written.
Free Music Review: The Best of the Early Years
Hit: 4 Stars
This is the best CD of the Beatles early, more pop-oriented years. Personally, the Beatles early stuff is nothing compared to what they would produce in the next few years. Having said that, this still has some great songs on it. The best songs are the title track, Yesterday, The Night Before, Dizzy Miss Lizzy, and my favorite early Beatles songs, Ticket to Ride. If you're looking to get into the Beatles, I would reccommend the route I took: First, buy One to hear their early hits, and then buy every CD from Rubber Soul to Let it Be. It'll be expensive, but it's worth it. Free Music Review: Oldie, not so goodie
Hit: 1 Stars
As to the pompous white album, people must have like this music at one time, many years ago.
This is oldies music, nostalgic perhaps, but second rate.
Free Music Review: A Fabulous Ticket To Ride
Hit: 5 Stars
"Help!" is the Beatles' 1965 soundtrack album to their first color movie, and, like all Beatles albums, it's a must-have. The Fab Four's music continues to evolve and the production work gets a bit more sophisticated with this one, though the pop ditties and love songs are still there (but hey, nothing wrong with that!). This album has many Beatles favorites on it, including the title song written by John Lennon (apparently a personal cry for assistance, as Lennon was under a considerable amount of pressure at this time, being a world-famous Beatle and all, and poured his heart out about it in this classic pop song). There's also the rockin' fun of Paul McCartney's "The Night Before," Lennon's beautiful "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away," and George Harrison's excellent "I Need You." "Help!" also features my personal favorite Beatles song of *all-time*, the brilliant pop-rocker "Ticket To Ride" (this was also the very first Beatles song I ever heard as a child, as my sister had an old 45 single of it). It really is an awesome, jamming song, and it still stands today as my personal favorite tune from the Fab Four. Drummer Ringo Starr shines brightly in his country-esque spotlight song, "Act Naturally," Lennon serves up the lovely "It's Only Love," and then, of course, there's McCartney's timeless ballad, "Yesterday." Yes, it's been played on the radio to death, and yes, there are WAY too many cover versions of it out there (PLEASE, recording artists of the world, no more cover versions of "Yesterday." PLEASE). But every time I play the "Help!" album, and "Yesterday" comes on---with the one-and-only Paul McCartney singing it---I am entranced. It remains, no matter how many times you've heard it, one of the most beautiful ballads ever written, and Paul McCartney is the ONLY human being on the entire planet who can do justice to it. Finally, John Lennon leads the lads in a rousing, rockin' finale, "Dizzie Miss Lizzie." From start to finish, "Help!" is yet another jewel in the Beatles' musical crown. Free Music Review: Never Knew
Hit: 5 Stars
I Never Knew HOW good the "early" Beatles relly were. This is easily among their best works I've heard (I'm used to Rubber Soul/Mystery Tour/Abby.../Revolver etc...) and though some may think i'm mad, i'd rate this as up to par IN MANY WAYS to those works of art. The ENERGY of the band is what gets it for me. So the songs later on were insanely more impressive but there are some GEMS on here that could fit flawlessly within their later work. For instance on their later-later work the band's musical energy wasn't as WAM! as it is on this record though the songs carried them. The Recording/Production of George Martin on here is a true pleasure. The Beatles could have stopped here, gone no further and still have gone down in the history books in a major way.
