Personally i feel that whilst With The Beatles showed that the Beatles werent going to be a 1 album and a few singles group it isnt as good as any of the first 4, it keep it all rolling on. There are signs that they were developing in the recording studio and writing but A Hard Days Night is conclusive proof of how far they progressed in every department in those 18 months since they had released Love Me Do. It is the peak of Beatlemania, the only way was down after it. Subsequently Beatles For Sale suffers because of this (for all the reasons stated ...

I don't get the dislike for Beatles for Sale either, I think it's excellent and a noticeable turning point into a moodier, more thoughtful phase for the band. Some of the covers are a bit lackluster yes- Words of Love, Honey Don't, Mr Moonlight- but the rest of them are great, and the originals on the album are just as good as any other if you ask me.

Far worse as an album to my ears is With the Beatles, which never seems to get mentioned as one of the "weaker ones."

Well, With The Beatles ain't being ...

I dont get the dislike for Beatles For Sale, it kind of surprises me. I understand it but i dont get it.

Maybe folks dont give it a chance alongside all the other albums.

Well, about Beatles for Sale, I think it's overall a good LP, but it scores low in my album ranking because most of the songs are covers. I like the Phil Spector version of Let It Be better than Let It Be... naked album because the song tracks to "Let It Be" and "The Long and Winding Road" are sounding better instrumentally (with orchestra and a better guitar solo) than the "naked" versions. The only minus for Let It Be is it's missing "Don't Let Me Down". If Spector would have included that song on his version of the album, ...

Beatles for Sale was the worst. Let It Be had some great individual songs, so I rank it higher.

Let it be isn't a 'bad' album but I do prefer Let it be naked,it sounds a lot more like how the beatles wanted it to sound,I think.
The first beatles song that I fell in love with was No Reply so although there's not many more on the album that I'm crazy about,it still holds I s'pose a special place in my heart,for that reason.:)

Love Beatles For Sale, one of my faves. It has the greatest opening songs of any album (No Reply, Im A Loser) and its all-over-the-placeness ive always liked.

Let It Be is a cool album. Two Of Us is better with the "I Dig A Pygmy" intro in my opinion, Maggie May and Dig It work because they are so short so dont outstay their welcome.

Yellow Submarine only has 4 new beatles tracks and doesnt really count in my eyes as a fully fledged beatle album, but only Hey Bulldog is a standout of those.

Personally im not a fan of Magical ...

I've always felt With The Beatles was their weakest album (I don't really count Yellow Submarine because it repeats songs previously seen on other albums, although I like the four new songs on there). With the Beatles is weaker than both For Sale and Let It Be I think.

Let It Be isn't a bad album at all. Just what spector has done to it. If you compare let it be... Naked, with any other beatles lp, i think, it's definitely one of the best (I think it's the second best behind abbey road (yes i'm a fan of the late beatles)). And Beatles For Sale, well it features e.g. Eight Days A Week, Mr. Moonlight or No Reply but every Beatles album features good songs and all in all, I think Beatles For Sale is definitely one of the worst beatles lps. Yellow Submarine features only 4 good ...

These are the three Beatle albums that I feel are weaker than the rest. Yellow Sub, of course, is a soundtrack with only a few Beatle songs and mostly instrumentals so I'll discount that. So out of the Beatle proper albums which is the weakest - For Sale or Let it Be? It's a difficult one as there are some great stuff on each but neither album feels as unified as the other Beatle albums Perhaps Let it Be pips For Sale because of the number of classics it contains - Let it Be, Winding Road, I've got a Feeling ...
