[QUOTE="Floyd, post: 1518, member: 1"] It’s very simple to distinguish the covers from the originals. The originals are as I thought, more poppy, while the covers were old school rock ‘n’ roll. I am a huge lover of old school rock, and the Beatles do it very well. There are also some very amusing breaks in between some of the songs like: Riding on a Bus, Sha la la la la!, Dear Wack!, From Fluff to You (not funny but a nice look into who inspired Paul), Have a Banana, Set Fire to That Lot!, Love These Goon Shows!, and Ooh My Arms. There are two things I don’t like about this cd, and I’m going to get them out of the way right now as they are the only bad things. First off, the originals sound a little too much like the studio versions. A big example is A Hard Days Night, which they notice and to prove it wasn’t they have to do some odd thing at the end. The second is: some of the slower tracks can be very boring, Baby, It’s You is a good example of this. It’s not a terrible song but it just isn’t interesting and doesn’t captivate in any way. The same goes for I’m a Loser. It’s a great song but doesn’t keep me as interested as I would like. But a great exception to this is: I’ll Be on My Way. The lyrics are very beautiful and rhyme very nicely. Also the old fashioned guitar fills compliment the song very nicely. Also the solo is a very nice classic slow solo that fits the feel of the song very wonderfully. It’s also nice that you can hear the bass so nicely. It also does a great job of keeping a great groove. To know her is to Love her is also a really beautiful piece. It’s a simple quiet love song. It slowly builds volume and then goes back down. The vocal harmonies are also very nice on this track. The best things about this cd are the fast songs. They’re very energetic and provide a beat that makes you want to dance.
