Sgt. Pepper's... or Rubber Soul it ain't, but definitely a much more all-around enjoyable album than some of their other albums. 3.2/5

While ultimately reeking of their pop era, in terms of their earlier records, Beatles for Sale at least manages to show a few scarce examples of the darker tinges that would show up on preceding records. Really getting into this one will probably come down to which type of Beatles fan you are: a fan of the classic pop days, a fan of the psychedelic era, or straight up hardcore fan that doesn’t give a damn what time period it came out of, providing John, Paul, George, and Ringo are playing the music. These latter fans will no doubt get the most out of this record (as they probably do with all Beatles albums) but personally, as a fan of some of the work they did after this one, it just wasn’t jiving for me personally. Still, if you’re into your classic rock history, it won’t hurt to give this one a couple of spins.

Not the greatest Beatles album ever recorded, but certainly and undeniably worth listening to.

Obviously this album must've been underwhelming after the glorious, all-original A Hard Day's Night, but, at least amongst the originals, Beatles for Sale is a pretty good album. Baby's in Black, Every Little Thing, What You're Doing and Eight Days a Week are gorgeous, if very shallow, pop tunes, whilst I'll Follow the Sun, No Reply and I'm a Loser are songwriting breakthroughs backed by melodies a little different to what the audience was used to at the time. The rest of the album is unfortunately filler, but the covers of Rock & Roll Music and Words of Love are good.

While it is hard to say that I don't like a Beatles album, this comes pretty close. Beatles For Sale was a rushed-out release to capitolize on the Beatles' staggering popularity of the time. However, this album does tend to impress me at some points. The catchiness of Eight Days A Week, I'll Follow the Sun, Words of Love, and the screaming Rock and Roll Music saves Beatles For Sale from disaster.
