Editorial Reviews (supplied by Amazon.com):

1) Amazon.com essential recording
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

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) Simple yet entertaining!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The Beatles' songs revolve around little moments in life. The lyrics are simple and the music catchy and well-tuned to the message being conveyed by the lyrics. All the songs in this album were an instant hit with me and my wife.

2) rubber soul   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
what can i say, it 's the BEATLES and i got this for my 21 year old son and he just loves it, as do i!

3) Just what I needed   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
I needed the song "In My Life" This was one of the few that had it for a reasonable price. Thanks to Michael J. (I'm pretty sure) you can't purchase any of the Beatles via Napster, etc. A friend really wanted it played during his 50th birthday party slideshow. The show/party went well, the music was just what he wanted so I'm pretty happy. I ordered it one day and it was delivered the next. Too bad tho, in this day and age we still have to buy a whole CD for just one song. Thanks alot Michael. When I was five, you were my 5 year old hero so cute and talented...Look at you now...Dude, REALLY...Sell the rights to Paul!

4) A classic in the history of Rock music   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is without a doubt a classic in the history of Rock. Every songs is a hit and this album has aged very well. There is no other band like the Beatles, they are just like good wine, it gets better with age.

5) The Beatles Evolve   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
OK, I came of age in the mid-60's and the Beatles' music was an integral part of that time in my life. Their album "Rubber Soul" marked the emergence of their evolution as serious musician/songwriters. This was not the usual Beatles sound (i.e. "She Loves You" or "I Want to Hold Your Hand"). For serious Beatles fans of the time most of us will remember exactly where and when we listened to this album for the first time. This was an edgier album from what we had been used to from these four. It's hard to imagine that there is anyone not familiar with this particular album/CD, but for someone seriously interested in the music of that radically changing time in music this album/CD is a must.
