I actually kind of like this one.

[ShaneSpear]

No, that is for sale. Please alphabetize it!

No Reply is one of their best songs, but nothing else here is that good

[badseed]

A few good ones here. "No Reply" and "I'm a Loser" are the real gems but "Baby's in Black", "I'll Follow the Sun" and "Every Little Thing" are quite nice too.

What You're Doing and Words of Love are early examples of the Jangle Pop sound.

I've longed moved past the phase where I thought "only Rubber Soul onwards was good",I think that if this and With the Beatles had some of their cover songs switched with some of the non-album singles found on Past Masters,they would be equally good as A Hard Day's Night or Help!

[AAL2014]

Probably the Beatles worst album even though there are some great songs and moments on here.

The first three songs are very strong, especially I'm A Loser, it was so different even from any song off Hard Day's Night. Rock 'n' Roll music always makes me dance and smile, it's a good cover. I'll Follow the Sun is a nice melodic song, one of the best of Paul's early songs. Mr Moonlight and Kansas City are probably the two of my least favourite songs of the album.
Eight Day's a Week is a strong B-side opener, I like its energetic vibe. It's the song which makes me sing along whenever I listen to it.

Words of Love is possibly my favourite cover which The Beatles ever did. The harmonies are perfect on this one.

Honey Don't is okay. Every Little Thing and I Don't Want to Spoil the Party were two of my favs when I rediscovered my love for the Beatles aged 14.
What You Are Doing is just okay. Everybody Is Trying to Be My Baby is also a good tribute, this time for the great Carl Perkins. I like that the closing song in the one which is sung by George.

Overall I like this album, because it has many great songs on it, but it also has a average songs on it, which makes the album weaker than the previous or the next studio album.
