The Beatles: The Beginning

The Beatles original album was pretty good. I liked their originals a lot more then their covers. Their originals were more enthusiastic and upbeat. That being said my favorite song on the album was a cover. Twist and Shout is my favorite song on the album. I like the way John Lennon sounds in the song and the tempo of the song is fantastic. I only recently learned that Twist and Shout was a cover when Mr. A said it was; that song sounds more like the originals on the album than the other covers.

Another thing I like about the album is the variety of the different subjects they touch on. I know that most (or maybe even all of them) are about girls but they touch on different topics underneath that one main topic. This variety in sub-topics is cool because it allows the whole album to be about the same main topic without being too repetitive.

What I didn't enjoy about the album were the slower songs. They just didn't appeal to me the same way. I feel like the Beatles sound better when in a higher tempo song. The songs still were performed well but I didn't like them as much.

Another crazy thing is that they recorded the whole album in one day!! That is insane!! I cannot comprehend that they actually did that, it is unheard of nowadays when it takes people like 2 years to record an album.
