This is the best early Beatles album (Help has higher highs but this is more consistent) and it's the best representation of their early impact and popularity, just a very fun time overall.

I agree. If he's so tired, maybe he shouldn't be critically reviewing a classic album from the biggest selling music artist of all time. The Beatles are the biggest for a reason. Hopefully, he waits until he's fully awake and aware before reviewing any of their other albums.
Like your independence of mind in your reactions. you cll them as you see them. A lot of reactors act like everything they hear is great no doubt not to offend anyone and keeping those likes coming. This doesn't mean I agree with all your takes. You Can't Do That is a terrific rocker. Things We Said is one of the loveliest songs in the Beatles canon, a perfect mood catcher, the first sign that the Beatles were not only great pop artists, but might become great artists period. I'll Be Back is only slightly less impressive with a moody, even brooding quality that sees Lennon maturing in his music. As you get older I suspect you'll rediscover these songs. I like Radiohead, Tool and Oasis as well but a hundred years from now they'll be forgotten but The Beatles will still be around, having the secret to longevity - great ear worm melodies, increasingly as they went along sophisticated lyrics and sheer joy in music.
Was that the Capital Records US release or the Parlophone rest-of-the-world release? It did not sound like the HDN album I remember. Where was "This Boy"?
The film reached a greater audience for fans of The Beatles. In 1964, they were introduced to America with their first world tour which began on 'The Ed Sullivan Show'. As for the album, it probably was the best of the Beatlemania era 1962-1964, through the first three official albums. Though, I would suggest fans listen to the live compilations that were released AFTER The Beatles broke up, "Live at the BBC" double album, to hear what they were like in Europe performing clubs in Germany and the U.K.
@@jnagarya519Yes but if you listen to the Spotify (stereo) versions with your headphones set to Mono. It’s folding down the stereo mix and is not what the Beatles intended
@@shayhorvath2795 I don't do "Spotify". And the use of the term "panning" is wrong. It is actually basic: ALL music was recorded on one track. ALL vocals were recorded on the second track. In order to "PAN" a sound, the sound must be recorded to two or more tracks. "PANNING" allows one to shift the sound left and or right between the two -- stereo -- speakers: one can't do that if the sound is recorded ONLY to ONE track. FROM THE BEGINNING, in keeping with the promotional medium, radio -- which was MONO -- and the market -- which was MONO -- the basic two-track recording was PRE-MIXED MONO -- NOT "stereo". George Martin -- who MADE the recordings -- explains this in his book _All You Need is Ears_: the so-called "stereo" -- PRE-MIXED MONO -- versions were released by EMI without consulting with Martin. That's why, as Martin explains, the "hole in the middle" when they are played on STEREO playback. There is no way to "PAN" sounds recorded to ONLY ONE track. There is much pseudo-sophisticated use of technical recording terminology -- and as spelled out the use of "panning" is invariably wrong with at least the first four "Beatles" LPs. In addition: during those recordings the use of "Four Tracks" did not mean an actual four track machine. It meant using a second two-track machine for overdubbing purposes onto the main two-track machine. Martin explains this in his _All You Need is Ears_ -- but rather than READ, everyone wants to talk jargon without actually getting even the basics right.
@@shayhorvath2795 The dude in the video used the word "pan/ning". And it is common among later generations who rely on the Internet for fact because they are too lazy to actually research the technical terms with those who actually know their meanings. Amazing how they so often know better than George Martin, who was actually in the room recording "The Beatles," and who, in his _All You Need is Ears,_ he describes the existing technology, and how they were recorded.
Everyone is entitled to their opinon, but A Hard Days Night : of course it's not your style because you were not brought up in the era. But explaoring music is not about your personal style preference, it's about every style and having the patience to understand and appreciate beyond "your own style." Instant judgement based "it's not your style" is quick fastfood drive through and easy and painless. A cop out. God help you if you ever have to listen to Bach, Beethoven or Gershwin, or other classical composers or jazz artists Duke Ellington, or Count Basie, or folk music or anything else. I was a career music teacher. Open up your wolrd and listen to all kinds of music.Don't be stuck in a rut like my contemporaries in their 60's who only listen to "their style" like the repetative classic rock playlists or country music stations. Yawn....
He does listen to all kinds of music, he just turned 18 though and his music taste and how he listens is still developing. I Think he's more mature in what he listens to and how he does it for his age though compared to others and me when i was a teenager. You should tune into his streams, he listens to everything the chat sends including jazz, folk and classical. I Sent him Vivaldi - The Four Seasons and In A Sentimental Mood, which he really enjoyed!
I got to know The Beatles in the 1980s on a par with the metal and groups of the 1960s at the time, and I received it all the same: different styles, different eras, but everything sounded fresh to me.... even the production of The Beatles' early almums didn't bother me. Now that I am well acquainted with classical music and the different performance schools (piano, HIP, etc.) different things sound different, but I don't value it, I pay attention to the composition, less to the sound, e.g. I love old recordings of pianists like Koczalski, Hofmann, Paderewski with very minimal sound, but it's the music that counts. I love the harpsichord, although it is technically less ‘advanced’ than the modern piano. I put the early recordings of The Beatles in this category too, they are unique.
@@wojciechwlodarczyk9964 Very interesting! I can relate to your perspective, and nowadays I focus more on composition over production and notice way more details than before, but also the beauty of music with a minimal sound. I have much more appreciation for all kinds of music; even if a song isn't my cup of tea personally, I can still recognize if the composition is great! I also enjoy revisiting old, simple recordings and love the sound of the harpsichord!
I'm always fascinated by comments like this. If the only people who are allowed to have music opinions are famous successful musicians, then surely your opinions are just as invalid as mine, right? I will never understand this level of intolerance for people sharing opinions that differ to yours
Let me know what you think of this album, and subscribe if you haven't! We're on our way to 2k!

Try telling boomers that their later stuff is better. They really don’t like that. Rubber Soul is where it starts for me.

Sounds like as you got tired your brain stopped working. Solid album from start to finish. Has its highs and lows, but even the lows are pretty high.

Who reviews an album when they are dead tired? I bailed after hearing his thoughts on Things We Said Today.
As a Beatlemaniac that song blows it’s not good
@@fw.kaizer345 bad take
This is good but kind of just ripping off Oasis. PS: how dare you have preferences.
I think the first album with a true stereo mix (not created in 10 minutes as an afterthought) would be "Rubber Soul" or "Revolver".
George Martin -- read his _All You Need is Ears_ -- wrote that the first LP recorded in stereo was "Help!"
Was that the Capital Records US release or the Parlophone rest-of-the-world release? It did not sound like the HDN album I remember. Where was "This Boy"?

Man you got a "beating" with this "Please Please me" review. A lot of angry Beatles fans😂Don't play save brother.
Beat The Meatles
Great editing, but again a fold down mono mix is not the same as a true mono mix
The mono of this LP was a "true mono mix".

A short sweet very good songs of album from them! Btw this>abby road (not better but loved it more)
W@nkstain reviews coming thick and fast here. Can only imagine what aural shite you think is better…
You need to react to let it be album now I think you reacted to every later stuff except this and from early stuff help
Let it Be will be coming soon, I think it's the 2nd to last album I listened to by them

I wasn’t brought up in that era and think the music is awesome! He’s just not in tune to them! Who cares lol.
I hate this guy....stop doing reactions...
Not watchable, stop skipping ahead, you’re missing the music..
You do realise I'm not skipping ahead while listening, right? This is just edited down for pacing and copyright
@ please stop doing that. Very annoying and you’re butchering Beatles music which is pure blasphemy….
This guy sucks. I’d like to hear what kind of credentials he had to judge THE BEATLES’ music!!
