BFS to my ears was fine, and they deserve some kind of award for bringing out at least a good album under a intense whirlwind of Beatlemania, starring in a film as well as creating original songs for it, dealing with an American press that mainly treated them like some novelty that might go out by the next year ("What will you do when the bubble bursts?" "Do you get haircuts?" and all of the other cheesy questions and promotions), and being on their forth album after three high quality works and some classic singles. "No Reply," "I'm a Loser," "Baby's in Black," "Eight Days a Week," "Every Little Thing," and "What You're Doing" all reflect a band in transition, and a very good one, while the filler tracks are forgivable as the album in full, as mixed as it is, was still one of the better releases of Winter '64.
