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

 One of the Beatle's Best! January 7, 2009
Andy Teach (Manhattan Beach, CA.)
I am a Beatles fanatic. I own every LP (for you younger folks, that stands for Long Play (vinyl) record) and I own every CD. Of course, it's impossible to pick a favorite Beatles CD but Rubber Soul is one of the best. It's a great transitional album between their pop, bubblegum years (think She Loves You) and their psychedelic years (think Sgt. Peppers). In order to determine which Beatles CD I thought was my favorite or at least one of my favorites, I checked my Ipod to see which Beatle's CD has the most songs on it (my Ipod). Rubber Soul has the most (12 of 14 songs). Need I say more???

If you're not into the Beatles you're just too young to understand the revolution they started. So much more talented writing and arranging than most any group in the last 50 years. A true classic.
The Album That Started It All December 7, 2008

Just one year before this came out the Beatles were really a rock band that wrote just bubblegum pop love songs but this album would change all that. By 1965 The Beatles had already made six albums and the movie A Hard Day's Night with one of the reasons why the band in that movie acted so weird was because they got introduced to marijuana by Bob Dylan that same time. Anyways back too the point. Rubber Soul was a very important album for three reasons:
1. One of the first rock albums of all time too include sitar and was when the Beatles became a more album based band and its very creative with songs like, Norwegian Wood(sitar), Nowhere Man, Think For Yourself, Drive My Car, and really every other track on Rubber Soul.
2. Rubber Soul is defenently by far one of the first rock records that was considered art and the first one that was actullay creative, and more great albums would come after Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, and The White Albu, and Abbey Road. An essential rock album
3. Last but not least Rubber Soul also influenced one of the greatest rock albums of all time, Pet Sounds, when Pet Sounds in turn would influence Sgt. Peppers.
Rubber Soul even ranked number five on rolling stones list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
An essential rock album one of the best of all time every thing about this album is perfect.
1. Drive My Car 5/5 stars
2. Norwegian Wood(This Bird Has Flown) 5/5 stars
3. You Wont See Me 5/5 stars
4. Nowhere Man 5/5 stars
5. Think For Yourself 5/5 stars
6. The Word 5/5 stars

Great to hear the Beatles again. In these days of on-line download purchases of individual songs for I-Pods, picking up an real "old fashioned" album is a real treat. Wonderfully nostalgic.
