Considering the quality of the original material on With the Beatles, it shouldn't have been a surprise
that Lennon & McCartney decided to devote their third album to all-original material. Nevertheless,
that decision still impresses, not only because the album is so strong, but because it was written
and recorded at a time when the Beatles were constantly touring, giving regular BBC concerts,
appearing on television and releasing non-LP singles and EPs, as well as filming their first motion picture.
In that context, the achievement of A Hard Day's Night is all the more astounding.
Not only was the record the de facto soundtrack for their movie, not only was it filled with nothing
but Lennon-McCartney originals, but it found the Beatles truly coming into their own as a band
by performing a uniformly excellent set of songs. All of the disparate influences on their first
two albums had coalesced into a bright, joyous, original sound filled with ringing guitars
and irresistible melodies. They had certainly found their musical voice before,
but A Hard Day's Night is where it became mythical...(AllMusic)
