Beatles For Sale (studio album) by The Beatles

There are some great songs, but they are watered down by filler and cover songs. A step down from A Hard Day's Night

Another great early Beatles record, my only issue is the covers on this are weaker than previous Beatles albums.
Best song(s): No Reply; I'll Follow the Sun; Eight Days a Week; What You're Doing

Good album i like What are you doing, eight Days a week an im a loser. For me one of their best work.

Fantastic album. Have always enjoyed it more than A Hard Day's Night and Help!, despite most people saying this is the red-headed step-child of the early albums.

I Don't Want To Spoil the Party is the hidden gem of the album and my favourite.

its good

I have mixed feelings on this one. On the one hand, there are some truly great tracks here like No Reply and Eight Days A Week. On the other hand, there's a whole lot of filler and bland covers. It's probably the worst of the early Beatles albums and it feels like a big step back from A Hard Day's Night. I still think it's an important chapter in the history of the Beatles but I definitely don't come back to this one very often.

It's the Beatles so it's at least a good album. Least of the Beatles albums so far, however.

Often a lower ranked album on Beatles lists, but mostly for the lackluster covers on the album like "Words of Love". At least to Beatles standards, a slight disappointment, but a decent Beatles album is often a masterpiece compared to other works of the time.
