Help! by Original Soundtrack/The Beatles

Pros: Lots of excellent songs
Cons: The entire CD's less than 35 minutes

Help! is an oft-overlooked Beatles album from 1965. As you can probably tell from its title, this is the soundtrack to the film Help!. Although a lot of people believe the movie is inferior to the ...

Pros: All of Lennon's tracks, I've Just Seen A Face, Yesterday, I Need You
Cons: Another Girl, The Night Before, You Like Me Too Much

The Beatles had such huge success in 1964. They arrived in America in February 1964, and Beatlemania reached such heights as never seen before. They made a movie, Hard Day's Night which acquired the praise of both fans and critics, the ...

Pros: Great songs, all support songs are strong, more pensive tones, considerable musical and lyrical development
Cons: Nothing

Help (1965) Recorded specifically for the second Beatles movie, Help was widely hailed as a coming of age album for the band. On their third album, A Hard Day’s Night there were suggestions of more folky sounds and pensive lyrics ...

Pros: The songs are catchy as heck and starting to get really innovative
Cons: A few relatively "throwaway" numbers by their standards

(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: energetic, the put their heart into it, variety
Cons: some tracks don't stand out as much as others

When I look at the Beatles’ career, I see two distinct periods. On one side we have their early, simple work. Then, on the other side of things, we have their later, more creative period. Throughout these early albums we can hear Paul and John ...

Pros: It's the Beatles, of course!
Cons: A few less-than-sterling tracks, but some diamonds also

Help! was released in 1965, and seven of the songs on the album comprised a part of the soundtrack of the movie of the same name. This record is one of the final steps in the maturation of the Beatles and the album hints at the glories of Revolver, Sgt....

Pros: It's the Beatles... it's the soundtrack to Help!
Cons: Some many find the songs not up to Beatle Par.

The 1965 era, I believe, is defined by the movie and mostly by the album, Help! Ever since I ...

Pros: Three # 1 singles ("Ticket To Ride," "Yesterday" and "Help!") among the 14 tracks.
Cons: None.

This is the British version of the soundtrack to the film "Help!", The Beatles second stab at motion picture stardom from 1965. Why the British version? All the British releases originally had more songs than the U. S. versions. More bang ...

Pros: Beatles at the band's peak
Cons: None

This album has something in common with all records put out by The Beatles -- It's great. Also, like other Beatles albums, it shows a fantastic development of the band.

I'd argue that the genius of The Beatles can be proven by the fact that...

Pros: It only got better from here, Some great original tunes from the boys including Help!, Yesterday, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away and I've Just Seen a Face...
Cons: Two cover songs... but they're good... Honest!

With countless number one hits and a critically lauded feature-film under their belt by 1965, what was left for the Beatles to accomplish? Well as everyone knows, the best was yet to come. But not before the Beatles were to release their second film -...

Pros: A terrific marriage of songwriting, performance and production
Cons: None, man. It's Help!

If you listen to the Beatles albums in sequence over the period of a day or two, like I’m in the process of doing for the purposes of review, you’ll notice a huge difference when you reach Help! It’s the first album in the Parlophone series that...

Pros: It's the Beatles
Cons: no instrumentals we grew up with

You know whether or not you like the Beatles. You do like the Beatles, don’t you? So, really, deep down inside, you know whether or not you’d like this album. The question is, would you like this more than RUBBER SOUL or ABBEY ROAD or PLEASE PLEASE...

Pros: Sing-a-long, fun, diverse, awesome vocals
Cons: Dizzy Miss Lizzie

The Beatles made a giant step up with 'Rubber Soul'. Their first real album. It was not just a collection of singles any more. Their follow-up proved to be no let down. Although in some sense it is not quite as congruent as 'Rubber Soul', the first...

Pros: Lyrically, John Lennon is growing by leaps and bounds.
Cons: 'Act Naturally'

What can I say about 'Help!'? It's a fairly unspectacular album, yet it has three of the most well-known Beatles songs,(title track,Ticket to Ride, Yesterday).This album is significant in that it is the last album to include covers,and only two covers at...

Pros: Great songs, Beatles start experimenting with new styles
Cons: The title made me use a horrible title... forgive me

The Beatles are an interesting phenomenon... the latest 'greatest hits' compilation "1" sold a barrel of copies, and therefore I would assume clued some kids, teens, and Gen-X'ers who overlooked the fab Four into their greatness. But that's the odd thing...
