Summary: Rubber Soul
Comment: The Beatles-Rubber Soul *****
Rubber Soul was maybe the equivalent of quantum leap for The Beatles. While they always made great music, even before this, it was with the release of Rubber Soul that the most popular band in the history of music came into their own.
With songs like 'Norwegian Wood' and 'Nowhere Man' the songwriting team of Lennon/McCartney became REAL songwriters not just writers of pop jingles, especially Lennon, who was more talented in the field of lyrics. 'In My Life' and 'Michelle' would both go on to become radio and fan favorites. But not to totally turn away from their past Rubber Soul does include 'Drive My Car' are pop anthem worth every acclaim that 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand received a few years before.
Rubber Soul was the first real classic The Beatles would ever release, an in my opinion is far better then that of Abbey Road, The Beatles (white album), and the incredibly over-hyped Srg. Peppers. This may not have been as experimental as those releases but is in every respect as good. Rubber Soul was for the Beatles what Bringing It All Back Home Was for Bob Dylan. Essential.

Summary: Rubber Sooooul!
Comment: If every generation undergoes a Beatles faze I'm definitely riding this wave out for life! Just bought a huge chunk of The Beatles catalogue and I have to say Rubber Soul is the top-notch Beatles caliber. You have their signature harmony stamped all over this great album and they exemplify that best in 'Nowhere Man' and 'You Won't See Me' The Beatles have an achingly good tempo-switching bent which they express greatly in songs like 'The Word' and 'Wait' But any listener will be able to sink in the soothing ballads of 'Michelle' or 'In My Life' and sing along to the people-pleasing 'Drive My Car' But look out for 'Girl' I think they capture this entire mood really well. So Buy This Album (I totally recommend!)

Summary: Personal Favorite
Comment: This is my favorite album from the Beatles, second favorite album of all after Plastic Ono Band. This album is the most cohesive album I have ever heard everything works perfectly with what was coming next. The songs are all perfect, even though nowhere man took a while but it has grown on me and no is one of my favorites on the album. The progression in the writing is amazing and the experimentation is not as extreme as revolver or sgt peppers but still there and that is why i like this one more than the other two, nothing is taken to far everything just falls into place so perfectly.
Highlights:
Drive My Car
Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
You Won't See Me
Nowhere Man
Think for Yourself
The Word
Michelle
What Goes On
Girl
I'm Looking Through You
In My Life
Wait
If I Need Someone
and yes that is every song on the album, i said it is perfect (for me at least)
Run for Your Life

Rank 'em how you like, Rubber Soul is an undeniable pivot point in the Fab Four's varied discography no matter where, or how, you first heard it. The album was softened up in its original 12-song American edition to jibe with the Dylan/Byrds folk-rock sound, as well as squeeze money from the Parlophone catalog. The 14-song U.K. edition--the version now available on compact disc--is a different, more dynamic, and ultimately more accomplished achievement. So many classics: "Drive My Car" and "Nowhere Man" (both omitted from the U.S. edition) merge the early combustible Beatifics to a burgeoning studio consciousness; "The Word" can be read as a pre-psych warning shot; the sitar-laden "Norwegian Wood" and the evocative "Girl" (the latter written on the last night of the sessions) stand as turning points in John Lennon's oeuvre. George finally emerges too, with the McGuinn-ish "If I Needed Someone." --Don Harrison
