4.0 out of 5 stars
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR..., 18 Sep 2001
Coming on the heels of the highly touted, critically successful album, "A Hard Day's Night", this one pales somewhat in comparison. It is still certainly worthy of note, however, as are all albums put out by The Beatles, and it a very good album by any measure.Here, only eight of the fourteen tracks were penned by the Lennon/McCartney songwriting duo, but they demonstrate an interesting shift in style, showing more depth, maturity, and complexity. From the somewhat dark, pensive "I'm a Loser" to the dramatic lament of "Baby's in Black", followed by the pop ballad, "I'll Follow the Sun", it is clear that The Beatles are forging in a somewhat new direction. The other six tracks on this CD are pop and rock standards upon which The Beatles have placed their signature imprimatur. Juxtaposed with the Lennon/McCartney songs, it makes for an interesting, quirky, listening experience. As with all CDs by The Beatles, no music collection should be without it.
