Pros: Lots Cons: some songs aren't as good as the rest
In 1964, The Beatles' first movie, A Hard Day's Night, was released. One of the reasons the studio wanted this film made was so that a soundtrack album could be released. John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote all the songs that would appear in the ...
Pros: Great songs; excellent performances Cons: Short run time by the standards of a modern CD release
I always keep a couple of Beatles CDs in my car, so it wasn’t surprising when I recently reached into the glovebox and pulled out one of the gems from the Beatles’ early career, “A Hard Day’s Night.” What was surprising was how long ...
Pros: Further development of sound and rewriting the rule book, greater intelligence, compositions and harmonies Cons: A couple more big hits would have been nice
A Hard Day’s Night (1964) Historically I think of a Hard Day’s Night as the end of the early Beatles’ rock and roll chapter. It’s unique in its own right but it does follow many of the themes that had gone before on ...
Pros: Great, happy pop that marks the pinnacle of the band's early years Cons: Where's the obligatory Ringo song?
If you want an album that truly captures the band at the height of its early years, this is the one to buy. Give this a listen and you'll get a clear understanding about why folks went absolutely nuts for the Beatles before they got "serious" on...
Pros: All songs good/great. Cons: Some weaker tracks.
And alas, I did know that A Hard Day's Night would be the second Beatles album I'd be reviewing, and that was right after I heard it. I saw the movie first, and found myself to be pretty fond of it (I'll be reviewing it sometime soon), and that ...
Pros: Good production, lots of John Lennon Cons: None to speak of
A Hard Day's Night is the first Beatles album where production techniques were explored. After this album was released, the raw, primal, rock n' roll style of the band was abandoned for a more slick, polished, sophisticated style. For those of you who...
Pros: This is the Beatles and 100% original material! Cons: Not much... A few bits are a tad weaker.
(Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...
Pros: Mostly top notch material from the Fab Four. Cons: They can't all be winners.
Beatles third album, released way back in the Summer of 1964 in the UK, was their greatest achievement for The Beatles as of yet. Finally, the Beatles had an album filled with just Lennon/McCartney compositions. On their first two releases, producer ...
Pros: solid, arranged wonderfully, confident vocals, still fresh, energetic Cons: slight quality loss in the second half
That quote contained in my title is perhaps the best description I can give of my overall impression when I hear this album. It's just so shocking, this being the third album by the group, how much they tightened and polished their sound within the ...
Pros: This is the first Beatles masterpiece. Cons: The Beatles broke up in 1970.
A Hard Day's Night is the first Beatles album that could accurately be called a masterpiece. And remember, in 1964, albums were not the coin of the rock 'n' roll realm - singles were.
Albums were things for symphonies and the concept cycles...
Pros: Every song on this album is an original Lennon/McCartney composition, some of the greatest pop tunes in history! Cons: Some may let the fact that this is a soundtrack dissuade them from buying it... they shouldn't!
When the powers-that-be realized they could make a ton of money off of the Beatles, they decided to have the boys star in a movie, and knock off a soundtrack. Lots of other rock and roll legends had made movies before them - most notably Elvis Presley,...
Pros: Gems like the title track, "I Should Have Known Better" and "And I Love Her" Cons: A few sock-hop songs
Please Please Me and With the Beatles each have their strong points, but I consider A Hard Day’s Night the first truly classic five-star album. That it also has far better original songs, far fewer cover songs and is a soundtrack...
Pros: Loaded end to end with great music. Cons: A few lightweight songs.
This album was the first truly great album the Beatles made. Please Please Me and With The Beatles were hardly bad albums, in fact they were great. But A Hard Days Night was the first classic album the Beatles made. On here they dispensed of the...
Pros: The best of the Beatlemania records. Loads of fun. Cons: No George Harrison originals.
Of the five pre-Rubber Soul albums, 'A Hard Day's Night' has to be the best. It is the first (and only) album to include ONLY Lennon/McCartney-all the other albums either included covers or Harrison or Starr originals-so that in itself makes this a...
Pros: Its stunning selection of beautifully crafted, pure, innocent Rock and Roll should win over even the toughest critics Cons: There really aren't any. This is one of popular music's all time greats!
All the promise shown on their earlier records and singles finally pays off for the Beatles on their third release, A Hard Days Night. The album has an infectious quality that is so rare in most rock records. It is also possibly the most...
