A Hard Day’s Night, while lacking in the bursting enthusiasm and energy of The Beatles’ first two records (in my opinion) is still a fine collection of songs. There’s lots of personality in the music and it feels like the boys were just having fun with these songs. So while it’s not one of my absolute favorite Beatles record, I still have tons of respect for it. (Also I haven’t yet watched the movie that goes along with this album but I really want to, and I feel like it may change my perspective on the album but oh well.)
