It's album review time on Stuffology as JG and Andrew tackle Rubber Soul in its entirety rather than piece by piece.

Is the album truly the starting point for what was to come? What did contemporary critics make of it (to say nothing of current ones)? And is the album one that benefits from being seen as a whole rather than a series of parts?

We bow out Rubber Soul with easily the most controversial song on it, Run For Your Life.

Does the song deserve it's dismal reputation? Is Lennon right when he claims it's the worst song he ever wrote for the Beatles? And is there any redemption to be had here?

We're almost at the end of Rubber Soul now but before the album bows out we have two final tracks to cover. One is rather notorious and the other is this, If I Needed Someone. How is George's songwriting coming along? Has he managed to pull up alongside Lennon and McCartney in the writing stakes? And how much jangle can one song meaningfully contain?
