If you want very high-tempo pop-punk Beatles covers, that is exactly what you'll get here. I was hoping for more variation, as different songs warrant different treatments. I like the idea of a true punk-rock album of Beatles covers, but this isn't quite it. Part of it comes from the fact that people now assume that punk has one kind of sound, but even The Clash had slower, simpler songs that don't fit that mold but were still very much punk ('Lost in the Supermarket' comes to mind).

Perhaps I was expecting a little too much, but I was definitely a bit disappointed when all of these songs have the same "punk-sound" up-tempo treatment applied to them. That means that you can listen to each one and appreciate the novelty at the time, but trying to listen to more than one or two is likely to give you a headache.

This is pop-punk, not punk-rock. That's the biggest reason this gets the stars it does, but if that kind of thing sounds good to you, you'll probably like this more than I did (it is well-done pop-punk, at the very least).
