The title tracks is one of McCartney's all-time best, and the next four tracks aren't far behind. Problem is that there's just too much filler towards the back half of the album, something not uncommon in McCartney and Wings efforts.

It's very pleasant, but after the first two tracks, it's mostly pretty forgettable.

Trails off in interesting ideas towards the end, but the first eight tracks are classic McCartney.

I think this one's really good! Long Tailed Winter Bird and Deep Deep Feeling are my highlights, imaginative lengthy adventures you can get lost in. The rest is more good than great, but it never gets dull.

One of the more imaginative albums by McCartney, with a bunch of memorable songs but nothing that ranks with his absolute best. Still, the mood is decidedly cheery here, and it's contagious.

In my opinion, ranks up there with the best of The Beatles. Almost all of McCartney/Wings' greatest stuff, played live at his height.

There's not a single thing I'd change about this album.

Some iconic tracks, but the production feels off for The Beatles, and I prefer the revised 2003 version "Let it Be...Naked." Even if you want a version of "The Long and Winding Road" with the horns, the one on "Wings Over America" from Paul McCartney's mid-70s tour is definitive.

A solid track from Revolver, a decent single in Hey Bulldog, a great track from Magical Mystery Tour's revised edition, and basically not a lot else. If you really like the Yellow Submarine score from George Martin, more power to you.

The first disc - Extremely high highs. Some puzzling lows. Pretty much entirely memorable.
The second disc - For me, much lower highs. Lots of puzzling lows. Pretty much entirely unmemorable.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Dear Prudence make this a must-listen, and let's be honest, it's so bizarre it's worth a listen anyway. Rocky Raccoon is also quietly one of McCartney's best, and Blackbird loudly is.

It was a good call by the American record label to add the second half to this album - it's got some of the strongest content of their catalogue in there. The first half is pretty uneven. It feels like a slightly messier companion to Sgt. Pepper, because, uh, it kind of is. Still really good. You could probably give a kid nightmares with I Am The Walrus.

The only miss across this album is that their "policy of omitting previously released singles from their albums" (Wikipedia lol, sorry) prevented Sgt. Pepper from including Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane from the tracklist - a mistake. Swap When I'm 64 for Penny Lane and sneak Strawberry Fields Forever in, and it probably earns an 100 from me. When I'm 64 is still solid, though, and A Day in The Life essentially forces a 90+ rating, so no one's really ... read more

A brilliant. complete album, only lacking in that it really only has the one iconic song - Eleanor Rigby. Still, a small criticism.

This album's damn near perfection, and it would probably be perfection if they'd have trimmed the fat just a bit more, removing Run For Your Life and If I Needed Someone. We Can Work it Out and Day Tripper were passed on in favour of those weaker tracks, which foreshadows a consistency later on - a slight lack of judgement by the group on what should make the album and what shouldn't. This shows up more on Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour.

It's a good album, with few weak spots, but nothing's as memorable as their best. The sophistication of their instrumentals planted with this record definitely blossom in Rubber Soul and Revolver.

A step back, mostly due to the label's insistence on this album's existence. Eight Days a Week is easily the standout here, and it's a slightly better listen than Please Please Me, but it's not the one anyone runs back to when they think of The Beatles.

This one's where The Beatles start making great complete albums. The whole thing holds up wonderfully.

Better than "Please Please Me," with a lot more depth in tracks like All My Loving and great, catchy tracks/versions in Don't Bother Me, Please Mr. Postman, Til There Was You, and Roll Over Beethoven. It Won't Be Long would also be a standout for most other bands.

A boom-or-bust start, with great tracks at 1, 7, 8, and 12, but almost all of it in retrospect is done better on "with the beatles," their next record. Still a lot of mindless fun, though.

Undoubtedly Paul McCartney's best studio work after the Beatles era.
