the one Beatles album? so not, like, With The Beatles, Beatles for Sale, Yellow Submarine or Let It Be?

as for the album itself i've not heard it in like 3 years and it wasn't one of my favourite Beatles then so i can't imagine i'd be a big fan of this now.

Almost on par with Abbey Road for my favourite Beatles album. Especially Lennon's output is shockingly awesome here. I don't believe I'll ever hear a better song than In My Life , though Norwegian Wood comes close.

Those are just embarrassing and quaint, but this is truly a bore. It's too "artsy" to have the innocent fun of Please Please Me and Help, but feels 20 years behind Revolver and most of the albums that came after that.

Revolver is way more boring, IMO. "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" is my favorite Beatles song period.

Sometimes I wonder if you actually read what you post on the AOTD threads....

The single greatest album ever made. 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.

I'm a musically ignorant 15 year old

Wondering what this means. Does one have to be a musically ignorant 15 year old to care about the Beatles/Rubber Soul?
