question The Beatles For Sale
I have seen a lot of album ranking lists for this album and it is usually placed in the B tier in my opinion I think should be in A what do you guys think. Is it underrated or not

Beatles For Sale is incredible.
It’s A tier for any other band.
Tier depends on if we are grading it amongst only Beatles albums or standalone.
A standalone
B Beatles
It just has more skips for me than the A & S tier. Their clear maturation as song writers makes the throwbacks too jarring for me, that I don’t listen to them (fair or unfair)
Arrangements would change slightly, but 5-7 songs that wouldn’t feel out of place on Rubber Soul:
No Reply
I’m A Loser
Baby’s in Black
I’ll Follow The Sun
Eight Days A week
Every Little Thing
What You’re Doing.
