Ciudad de Mexico, 05 de octubre de 2026.- Variety publicó una reseña del boxset Super Deluxe de 'Rubber Soul' de The Beatles, titulado 'Rubber Soul: Special Edition Super Deluxe', un conjunto de cinco LP o cuatro CD que llegó al mundo el viernes, según la publicación.
El autor de la reseña es Chris Willman, Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic de Variety, quien escribió: "What is the Beatles' best album? 'The one you're listening to right now' is always the correct answer, of course, and that could encompass 'Meet the Beatles' or 'Let It Be' at any given moment."
Willman señaló que para la mayoría de los fans la elección suele reducirse a cinco álbumes: "Rubber Soul", "Revolver", "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", "The Beatles" y "Abbey Road". Sobre el primero, apuntó: "with the first-mentioned there sometimes being the last-cited, because that 1965 transitional LP isn't as fully ambitious in scope as those that followed."
El crítico afirmó: "'Rubber Soul' is undoubtedly among the most influential albums ever released, make no mistake." Y agregó: "Yet it was arguably the last Beatles record (at least until 'Let It Be') that was tossed off reasonably casually, on deadline, and not consciously aiming at being some kind of tour de force."
Willman explicó su postura: "Which is partly why I've suddenly joined the stubborn minority flank of fans that has always thought of 'Rubber Soul' as the best all-around effort." Y añadió: "That could change in 15 minutes, naturally, because it happens to be The One I'm Listening To Right Now — in its very expanded form as 'Rubber Soul: Special Edition Super Deluxe,' a five-LP or four-CD set that finally reached the world Friday after many years of fans' wishing and hoping."
Sobre el contenido del boxset, escribió: "The boxed set has four distinct components, each of them incredibly necessary, whether new or old: the requisite fresh stereo remix of the U.K. album from Giles Martin and Sam Okell; a collection of studio outtakes; the U.K. track list in mono, revisited; and the American version in stereo."
El crítico describió el álbum: "'Rubber Soul,' in contrast, catches the Beatles constantly at the glorious nexus of rocking and mature." Y concluyó: "There's a shorter way to describe it: perfect."
