Help has too much crap surrounding a few absolute classics. Otherwise I'd agree.
The official Yella Piss review
1. "Help!" Lennon 2:18 Classic 2. "The Night Before" McCartney 2:34 Shit fluff 3. "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" Lennon 2:09 Classic 4. "I Need You" (George Harrison) Harrison 2:28 FO George 5. "Another Girl" McCartney 2:05 Classic 6. "You're Going to Lose That Girl" Lennon 2:18 Poppy fluff, throw away 7. "Ticket to Ride" Lennon 3:09 Classic Total length: 17:01 Side two No. Title Lead vocals Length 1. "Act Naturally" (Johnny Russell, Voni Morrison) Starr 2:30 Fun, but filler 2. "It's Only Love" Lennon 1:56 Fun, but filler 3. "You Like Me Too Much" (Harrison) Harrison 2:36 F.O. George 4. "Tell Me What You See" McCartney with Lennon 2:37 Pure shit 5. "I've Just Seen a Face" McCartney 2:05 Classic 6. "Yesterday" McCartney 2:05 Classic but cliche and I hate it 7. "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" (Larry Williams) Crap
Agree with all except The Night Before. I think it's a solid entry given the time.
John dominated as per usual. The title track is one of their best songs, and Ticket to Ride and Hide Your Love Away are great great songs.
The Night Before, Tell Me What You See, and You Like Me Too Much are all solid tracks.
I'd consider myself as big of a Beatle fan/expert as we have on our boards, ATBSJBS I think certain Beatle songs don't hold up that well 56 years later including these three. They aren't "bad" songs especially judged against the work of their peers, but just don't stand the test of time .
