The band’s musical innovation began in earnest with the late-1965 release of Rubber Soul. Though, in hindsight, the album wears its influences on its sleeve, at the time it was an unprecedented synthesis of elements from folk-rock and beyond.
It's a crime to hate on this.

In the mid 60s, the british boys were already veterans of the so-called rock music. They had thousands and thousands of records sold and stellar notoriety at this point, but the best was yet to come.

The very definition of fun.

But other than that, I feel great after every listen.
Favorite Tracks: All of them except The Word, Girl, and Wait, honestly.

Boy, I really dig this change in direction by the beatles, they tackle the folk-rock sound and make one of the best albums of the entire genre. I wish a few tracks were left off, namely wait and run for your life but still a superb album by the beatles.
Highlights:
Chord progression in general(but especially on michelle and if I needed someone)
Harmonies on nowhere man and you won't see me
Lowlights: the last two tracks are derivative Help leftovers
