For some reason I used to think "What goes on" was a crappy track. Previous me was quite dumb... Anyways this album is pretty much perfect. Over time my love for each Beatles record has diminished with the exception of this

sure, my favorite thing about Rubber Soul is that it gave us Pet Sounds, but it's about as lovely as the boys got

This might be my favorite Beatles album without the final track, but it detracts from the album in a major way. John Lennon's "least favourite Beatles song" and I'm inclined to agree.

Honestly I think as a b-side or just random track in the middle of an album, it's alright, it's just a rather anticlimactic ending

It's very good and don't listen to Applerill, who's showing off again.

The question is has he heard it in full? Or was it so BORRRRINGGG (based off the album cover art, or the opening twangy guitar riff of "Drive My Car") that he stopped playing it and started stream of consciousness reviewing the psychological aspects of the RYM reviews of it?

Probably my third? favourite Beatles record. Just really charming songs here, a very comforting listen. Norwegian Woods and In My Life are, as others have stated, just gorgeous songs melodically, perhaps Lennon's best. The album gets pretty goofy at times, but that kinda adds to its appeal for me.
Very nostalgic. Reminds me of when I was a musically ignorant 15 year old, and when I didn't care about what people thought of my music opinions on the internet.

I think this is actually the closest I've heard to a perfect album, and there's really only 2 flaws that come to mind at all - any number of songs would've been a more fitting closing track than "Run For Your Life", and "The Word" has a couple moments where it feels like the harmony is just a little bit late behind the lead track. I know there's other things, editing issues and voices getting caught in fade outs (there's a great site that tracks all the issues on Beatles albums that have been found to date) but honestly those are the only things that have ever bothered me at all. And In My Life is the single greatest song that has or will ever exist and is one of the only things I will ever call utterly perfect.

Though I wouldn't consider it to be the single greatest album ever made, I love this album and I think it is one of the best of the decade. I share similar opinions on Run For Your Life and The Word, though I really start to like the latter a lot more than I used to.
Anyway, The Beatles took a huge step forward with this album, it is just so much better than what they did before ( the only which comes close is Hard Day's Night. But Help and the others are just <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Rubber Soul)

Don't forget the BOOM BOOM potential.

"Drive My Car" isn't bad, and neither is "Michelle". I just don't feel the rest of this stuff, though. I really do think it inhabits this awkward halfway-point between the early and late Beatles, and I never cared for that aesthetic.
(And to be fair, I'm not too big on this era of "NME pop" . Most of even the acclaimed Beach Boys albums are a drag to me, and even Pet Sounds is only a 4/5 because of filler).
