YELLOW SUBMARINE

This one seems to be widely noted as The Beatles' worst effort, a statement for which I couldn't disagree. Firstly, half the album isn't even written by The Beatles; the second half is a classical score written by producer George Martin, which, while undoubtedly good material, is just another film score. The first half consists of a few new songs, and some previously released ones, such as the title track from Revolver, and 'All You Need is Love' from Magical Mystery Tour. Of the originals, 'Hey Bulldog' is probably the only decent tune. The rest seem to have an overly childish sound to them or are just forgettable.

Regardless of whether or not you're a Beatles fan, avoid this album, it really doesn't have anything to offer and should only be considered for completionists.
