Revolver (4.13 Stars)

1. Taxman

Rating: *****

Explanation: Nice Entrance, George! Great lyrics and a great riff! TAXMAN!

2. Eleanor Rigby

Rating: ****
Explanation: I look at all the lonely people! Whats this song about? Nobody knows. Good song. Not 5 stars, though.

3. Im Only Sleeping

Rating: ****
Explanation: Gives a good impression of just having woke up.

4. Love You Too

Rating: *****

Explanation: I love the sitar in this song! Everything else is planned out good as well. Good job george.

5. Here There And Everywhere

Rating: ****
Explanation: People like this song. Its not GREAT, but its pretty damn good.

6. Yellow Submarine

Rating: ****
Explanation: Okay, you can start swearing at your monitors now. How can this ringo-sung bullcrap have 4 stars? Its classic man! It inspired one of the beatles best movies also. It was made for kids. Give it a break and pick on somebody your own size.

7. She Said She Said

Rating: ****

Explanation: Good one john.

8. Good Day Sunshine

Rating: *****
Explanation: Morose people tend to hate this song. Happy people tend to like it. Im happy, and I love it! Its so catchy, and joyful, youll catch me singing it a bunch.

9. Doctor Robert

Rating: ***

Explanation: One of the most despised beatles songs. But why? Okay, its about drugs. The lyrics are weak and annoying at some times. Still, the guitar riff is decent, and other instrumentation is as well.

10. For No One

Rating: ****

Explanation: Just a good song. Not too special, but good.

11. And Your Bird Can Sing

Rating: *****
Explanation: How about that guitar, eh? Love that double riff! Lyrics and singing are good as well.

12. I Want To Tell You

Rating: ****

Explanation: Harrison invented a new chord to play this. Good one.

13. Got To Get You Into My Life

Rating: *****
Explanation: I LOVE this song! One of the albums best.

14. Tomorrow Never Knows

Rating: *****
Explanation: One of my favorites. This song inspired all of electronic songs today. The lyrics are deep and well written. I love the looped way the song is construction. I also love the guitar solo, how it keeps cutting out and back in. This song is insane, wacky, cucko, and I love it. Amazing album ender.

Overall: 4.13 stars

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band [4.6 Stars]

1. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Rating: *****

Explanation : The start of an extremely great album! The guitar riff rocks like no other, lyrics are unique, instrumentation is amazing as well as vocals! This is the start of a great ride!

2. With A Little Help From My Friends

Rating: *****
Explanation: Ringo's best vocal contribution to the group, without a doubt. This song sticks out, one of the reasons being the transition between the title track and this being so flawless. The guitar is good, the vocals are amazing, and the lyrics are also good. Good singing, Ringo! Good job John and Paul writing! Stay cool George, you'll get your turn.

3. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

Rating: ***

Explanation: The album's first flaw. I never liked the beginning part that pretty much plays throughout. The LSD induced imagery is cool for the first while you listen to it, then gets a bit old. The singing is appropriate.

4. Getting Better

Rating: ***

Explanation: People love this song. People hate this song. Im in the middle. I absolutely despise that guitar riff, but the vocals and other instrumentation make up for it, as well as the lyrics.

5. Fixing A Hole

Rating: ****

Explanation: Another love it hate it scenario. Again Im in the middle.

6. She's Leaving Home

Rating: *****

Explanation: One of my absolute favorites! Many people knock this song for being boring, but it tells such a great story! Very nice.

7. Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite

Rating: *****

Explanation: This is beatles nirvana, even with John "just going through the motions". It is instrumentally very complex and very pleasing. There really isn't anything bad you can say.

8. Within Without You

Rating: *****

Explanation: George's masterpiece on the album. Simple amazing. Great sitar (props to George for playing that) and bongos (props to ringo). Cool lyrics, and the vocals are appropriate. Symbolic as hell.

9. When I'm Sixty Four

Rating: ****

Explanation: A bunch of people hate this song. I can't see why. Its pleasing and soothing. Not 5 stars, but not bad either.

10. Lovely Rita

Rating: ***

Explanation: Good vocals. Evey thing else is ehhhhh.

11. Good Morning Good Morning

Rating: *****

Explanation: Gotta love this song! Amazing instrumentation on all parts, and cool lyrics and vocals. Again, people hate this. I dont know how they could.

12. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)

Rating: *****

Explanation: Youve heard me praise the original version of this, and I love the reprise version even better. Heavier instruments, who can beat it?

13. A Day In The life

Rating: *****

Explanation: Everybody who likes the beatles likes this song, with good reason. While I wouldn't call it their best, I still love it.

Overall: 4.6 Stars

Please Please Me [3.14 Stars]

1. I saw her standing there

Rating: *****

Explanation: This is the song that pushed the previously quasi-unkown Beatles to the superstars we know them as today. The instruments are perfection and the vocals are rockin! Go beatles!

2. Misery

Rating: **

Explanation: Next to I Saw Her Standing There, this song is mediocre. By itself it would be mediocre, but its position does not help it. Not terrible but not very good.

3. Anna (Go To Him)

Ration: ***

Explanation: I love the guitar in this song! The vocals are a tad bit weak, and the other instrumentation is also a bit weak. A fairly good cover, though it pales compared to their amazing Twist and Shout.

4. Chains

Rating: **

Explanation: Yet another cover. Pretty average, nothing special, but nothing terrible.

5. Boys

Rating: ***

Explanation: Ah Ringo! Another cover, yet this one has something special about it, though I don't know what it is. Good cover.

6. Ask Me Why

Rating: **

Explanation: Simple lyrics, and rather dull. The song sounds like some bizarre bossa nova, and it just doesn't work.

7. Please Please Me

Rating: ****

Explanation: The title track for the album, and for good reason! One of the better originals on the album, though not quite 5 star worthy. Still really good!

8. Love Me Do

Rating: ****

Explanation: Very catchy, with great lyrics and instrumentation. Again, not quite 5 stars in my mind, but good.

9. P.S. I Love You

Rating: ***

Explanation: Cheesy as hell, but pretty good nonetheless. Also, Ringo's absence is very noticeable, and not in a good way.

10. Baby It's You

Rating: **

Explanation: Pretty boring. Just an average cover. Nothing special at all.

11. Do you want to know a secret

Rating: ****

Explanation: First harrison original on the album. Often mocked, but I find it to be lovely. The guitar, while simple, is still very good. The lyrics are cheesy, yeah, but in the 60s it wasn't. Who can blame the man? Not 5 stars, but more than 3. Go George!

12. A Taste of Honey

Rating: **

Explanation: One of the reasons this album is not my favorite is the constant covering, without throwing any toppings on, the exceptions only being Boys and Twist and Shout. This is no exception. Just a boring cover.

13. There's A Place

Rating: ***

Explanation: Jumps out at you when you first listen to it, but then fails to impress. Normally would be 2 stars, but since it is the beatles trying to write deeper material, Ill throw in an extra star.

14. Twist and Shout

Rating: *****

Explanation: The Best beatles cover EVER. If youve heard the original, youll know it sounds NOTHING like the pure rocking of this version. When its in Ferris Bueller, you know its good.

Overall: 3.14 stars {average}
