Historically considered to be their first masterpiece, Rubber Soul sees the Beatles exploring more adventurous territory as a band. Composed of all originals, we see here John at the top of his lyrical form ("Norwegian Wood", "Nowhere Man", "Girl", and "In My Life" are four of his best songs ever), and Paul throws in a few gems ("Michelle", "Drive My Car".)

Rubber Soul is THE turning point Beatles album. With Rubber Soul's forays into Indian/world music in 'Norwegian Wood', first blossoming of Lennon's universal love theme in 'The Word', Harrison's nebulous spiritual awareness in 'Think For Yourself' and the inclusion of a songwriting credit for Ringo, this surely the album which sets The Beatles on the path of the 'mature' half of their career. But, what also keeps it bobbing along nicely is the groovy-pop undertones in songs like 'Drive My Car', 'The Word' and 'Think For Yourself.' Elsewhere a unique funky approach rings on 'What Goes On' which makes it very pleasant to hear Ringo's vocals. All this change going on in The Beatles' minds and music is also evidenced by the album cover, with the slightly psychedelic-twisting of the image of the band, and the look of self confident young men on their faces rather than the "mop-top" lads they seem to look on previous album covers. The band put cover versions  behind them in Rubber Soul, and were set into classic progressive pop-psych and rock permanently.
