Pretty much all of those albums were on the receiving end of the typical "quick lil' single, manufactured fad" criticism immediately upon release that any pop artist or boy band today is like to experience.
The exception might be A Hard Day's Night, but we're talking about an era when a major artist making a cohesive album with no covers was damn near unheard of, much less all self-penned.
