The Beatles
Discografia completa

Please Please Me - Fundamentally, nothing remains of the Beatles' first album except for that anecdote about John Lennon shredding his vocal cords while recording “Twist & Shout.” Otherwise, it’s practically the album that Latin reggaeton singers would have made if they were born back then: beat songs riding the wave of the era's fashion. 2/5

With The Beatles - The same discourse spent on the first album, but in this one, there’s “All My Loving,” namely their best song ever. 3/5

A Hard Day’s Night - The best of their purely beat phase, but it suffers from this problem: the first side is a masterpiece, the second is the most anonymous thing ever conceived in the history of art. 3/5

Beatles For Sale - Here lies the excellent “I’ll Follow The Sun,” but sorry, I’m in a hurry to get to the next one. 1/5

Help - Undoubtedly their most frantic album, among their best. “Yesterday,” on the other hand, is perfect, what can you say? “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away” is the best hypnotic folk without the usual psychedelic useless trinkets. “Ticket To Ride” has the most dynamic and intoxicating riff ever heard in the pop field. With this record, the Beatles practically invented drugged music. 4/5

Rubber Soul - Having a rubber soul isn't so bad, nor is having a Norwegian wood house. Looking for a girl is tough, more so if her name is Michelle. Trying to forget the phallic metaphor of “baby you can drive my car,” this album showed that the Beatles were truly ready to become the biggest thing of those years. “In My Life,” “If I Needed Someone,” “I'm Looking Through You,” and all the others: 14 songs, each more beautiful than the last. 5/5

Revolver - The older brother of Rubber Soul, that acts like a bully and steals its toys, complete with a “hey, this is mine.” That toy is superficial psychedelia, but, damn, how this music rocks. Beyond an embarrassing Harrison (“Taxman”), we find John experiencing a slight dip in inspiration, so much so that Paul puts him in his place for almost the entire album (“For No One,” “Here There and Everywhere,” “Eleanor Rigby”). But then comes the last piece, “Tomorrow Never Comes,” which in one fell swoop invents and obliterates Pink Floyd, as well as the entire rest of what critics objectively overrate and call “psychedelic rock.” Yuck. 4/5

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - This album is like watching wax figurines of a village band melt and become something shapeless and slimy. Sgt. Pepper is a unique and progressive smear until the flowing wax finally attempts to rise in the form of the antiseptic realism of “A Day In The Life.” The result is it miserably crashes down in the last melodramatic piano chord, simultaneously played by Paul, John, Ringo, Paolo Bonolis, Ronald Reagan, and Gerry Scotti. 5/5

Magical Mystery Tour - Give walruses LSD, and they will compose this album for you: anyone can do it, but it takes a genius to think of it. 3/5

The Beatles (White Album) - It's not true that the White Album reflects all the colors of the spectrum. It simply bounces them all off except for white, the same that fades your glassy eyes as you try to imagine how epic it would be to take the same load of substances the Beatles took in India. In all this, this album has nothing to do with drugs; it’s just longer and more powerful than your favorite album. Accept it. 4/5

Yellow Submarine - Never listened to it.

Abbey Road - The Beatles' final album is the umpteenth masterpiece. Side A, between “Here Comes The Sun” and “Come Together,” is known by everyone, and everyone has an opinion about it. Unfortunately, the medley on Side B eventually gets on your nerves: fortunately, one of its first tracks is “Sun King,” aka the greatest slow blues of all time. 4/5

Let It Be - The last Beatles album is actually the penultimate one and was recorded live in the studio, so you can feel the real blood, sweat, electricity, and even that a nice studio cleanup wouldn’t have hurt too much. But never mind, “Get Back” is the best Paul since “All My Loving,” and “Across The Universe” is seeing the dawn in the clear morning sky. 3/5
