What I think OF Rubber Soul
« on: March 24, 2005, 11:11:39 PM »
I think Rubber Soul is The Beatles at their Prime, their best, they were perfect, this album is the answer to all great music. Every song has something special.

Though I enjoy Abbey ROad by the beatles and the wall by pink floyd more, I think this is the greatest album of all time

Good point, a really point of transition from their love-esque type of songs to more profound ones.

I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we pass the audition.

Considering John and Paul had about 4 weeks to write most of their songs makes it even more remarkable.  Their schedule was unbelievable in '65 and it was pushing Autumn and they had to get the album together quickly for the Christmas market. I think they created some of the best stuff when they were under pressure. 'Rubber Soul' is certainly a testament to that.

Wow... if I had 4 weeks to write an album, and had exclusive access to Abbey Road studios... Jesus, I could write an album a week!

But then again...

Rubber Soul is great.... The sound of it really rings out for the entire year of 65, 66, whenever it came out...

But Revolver is better, sound wise...

I like Yellow Submarine, and besides, Ringo has to have his song.

What copy do you have of this Lp? Because we "Canadians" got a very different view of this record by the fab 4.

Our copy totally changes the perception of the Lp due to it's different opening track. There's no "rocking" Drive My Car that opens our Lp. A folk/pop tune  "I've Just Seen A Face" gave me a different impression of what this lp was going to sound like! I really feel that a "folk" feel could be interpited from this lp. The Norweegin Wood song along with I've Just Seen A Face, In My Life all point towards a mello presentation! We did not get "No Where Man" on our lp either which totally changes the perception of this lp! Don't get me wrong it's an awesome record, but it could have been even better if we had got the other version. On the second side of my lp there is no "If I Need Someone" also which greatly changes the feel of this Lp. In closing when the first opening song on my LP is a plantiff "I've Just Seen A Face" as oppose to "Drive My Car" there is a vast difference in our perceptions of Rubber Soul. Comments welcome?

i have to say that it is an absolute CRIME that "Rubber Soul" abd "Revolver" have not been re-issued on cd yet..my vinyl copy of "Rubber Soul" is pretty much warped. i really can't stand the "Rubber Soul" circa 1986 digital technology cd.

I got RS on CD, and it sounds fine to me.

Personally, I think Rubber Soul is great, but I am not a huge fan of Girl.  I like What Goes On better than Girl.  The Word is good but nothing to write home about.  Personally, it lags a bit in the middle for me.

Revolver is a much, much better album with the weakest spot probably being Good Day Sunshine, and I even like that song.

I like Revolver better as I feel it wasnt as patchy as Rubber Soul. If I had to pick my least favorite tunes on Rubber Soul, i'd list 'What Goes On', 'Girl', and 'Run For Your Life'. Great album though.
