Recorded in October 12 to November 11, 1965 and released in December 3, 1965, Rubber Soul is the sixth studio album after Help! and before Revolver. It was one of the albums that were considered artistic by critics wich made it highly favourable by others being at the top of the charts at the time it was released. The genres in the album are folk rock, rock, soul and pop. Some may notice the first time they have used a few instruments that continued to go on for 2 albums (Revolver and Sgt. Pepper) such as the sitar, harmonium and fuzz bass that implies this album might be the first time they went for a physedelic theme. This is also known as one of the most influential Beatle albums, if not the first.
