"With the Beatles" sounded better than I thought it would be. It is better than "Please Please Me". There were no bad songs but three were mediocre. "Devil in Her Heart" has pretty good music but the lyrics are just terrible - saying someone has devil inside is not good, especially if it was supposed to be a love song. The most pleasant surprise was "Hold Me Tight" - I didn't remember it was so good. Also "Money (That's What I Want)" is actually good - this time they were quite likely honest - although I love "Can't Buy Me Love" on the next album even more. Chuck Berry cover "Roll Over Beethoven" sounds good although I like the original version even more. "Don't Bother Me" is a song opposite for the usual love stuff The Beatles had. It is not far from 4½ stars and it could change.
1. It Won't Be Long 4½ 2. All I've Got to Do 4 3. All My Loving 5 4. Don't Bother Me 4½ 5. Little Child 3½ 6. Till There Was You 4 7. Please Mister Postman 4½ 8. Roll Over Beethoven 4½ 9.

They have improved their sound and also their own songs are better. Quality is good but there are not enough highlights to make it shine brighter. Yes, if progress goes on then there will also great albums from the Beatles. I like that songs are short. Many post modern artists should take model from it. If you can say everything in 2 minutes don't try to make 4-6 minutes songs and spoil your song.

You made a very good point. There's no reason to make songs longer if they are good as short ones. It is actually very hard to write 2-minute songs which have everything needed. They have longer songs though but I don't think they usually made the songs too long, there are only few cases.
