I wouldn't call them mediocre. I'd say they were mediocre live performers, and when they were a rock band they were a mediocre rock band. When they became strict studio composers, then they were legends. Albeit, I tend to make this point very very repetitively.

Still though, Apart from the song, Help was a pretty sucky album, and at the end of their pre-Rubber Soul days they did suck pretty badly.
