Beatles For Sale

Today in class, we listened to part of the album, Beatles For Sale, by the Beatles. Overall I did not honestly really like the album that much. In fact honestly, I think it is my least favorite Beatles album, even worse than "Yellow Submarine." The reason I feel this way, is because most of the time when I listen to the Beatles, I want to listen to an upbeat song that makes me happy, not gloomy songs about serious subjects, which I feel was basically the entire mood of Beatles For Sale. However, some songs had nice upbeat harmony to it... however what the lyrics were about completely ruined the song.

I'm A Loser- The Beatles

The song, I'm A Loser is a perfect example, it has a nice upbeat harmony, however the lyrics and meaning are just so depressing it honestly ruins the song for me. You can even tell just by looking at the album cover that this isn't a fun normal Beatles album, rather it has all four Beatles looking like they are dressing up for a funeral, with no expressions on their faces whatsoever. Anyways, let me know what you think, do you like the more serious, depressed Beatles? Or are you like me, who listens to the Beatles as "Happy Music."
