Prtty geed.
Loves: With a Little Help from my friends Lucy Leaving Home Mr. K Within without - sitar Other Notes: Love the intro since it’s a concept
I am not a huge fan of the Beetles but absolutely love this quirky, happy trippy musical journey that they take you on in the album. You just have to sit back and enjoy the show.
Solid music personally i think it overrated
Being a masterpiece in all it's extension, it is not my favourite album from The Beatles. Still million times better than anything written in years.
Classic. A Day in the Life is still an expertly written song.
Obviously an absolute classic, but this is really the one Beatles album which has soured on me over the years. It’s still amazing, but while I hold Revolver and Abbey Road in utmost esteem, and the White Album, Help!, and others have grown on me, Sgt. Pepper’s and Magical Mystery Tour were once in my top 100 of all time and have both fallen out, Sgt. Peppers’ much more so compared to MMT. Perhaps it’s because of the “concept” that they just can’t seem to stick to, or perhaps it’s because some songs seem like total throwaways (“Fixing a Hole”) compared to other amazing songs (“A Day in the Life”), so the whole album feels a bit disconcerted. All that said, Sgt. Pepper’s cultural impact and influence on the music industry are massive, and anyone who listens to popular music should all be glad this album exists. Also… fabulous album artwork, possibly the most iconic of all time.
Lots of fun songs on here, my favorites were “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds,” “When I’m Sixty Four,” and “Lovely Rita.”
Possibly the Beatles most famous album? Regularly billed as their best. I really want to like this more that I do, but there are too many tracks that I don't love for this to be a five star.
It's the Beatles, so it almost automatically a classic. Plenty of memorable songs, with A Day in the Life standing out the most for me. I think the experimental/hippie flavoring doesn't hold up as well... it's easy to disregard as that is how I've always heard this album, but if i was just being introduced to it today, I can see how it is slightly offputting. That said, this is certainly a monumental album.
When I first heard the Beatles I wondered why other artists didn't take advantage of the left vs right stereo channels as much but now I realize it's because it sounds tacky and it's kind of an 'only they can do it' situation. Also Ringo really had the easiest job ever and he barely pulls it off. Other than that I love this album and have for a while. Favorites, the only ones I heard as a kid but still stands: Sgt pep, lucy in the sky, a day in the life 8/10
Definitely like this one better than the white album. I wish they always sang like the beginning of Sgt. Peppers, I like the gruff vocals over the airy ones, but I know that's their signature. That being said, the overall tone of the vocals is pretty good in this one. Love when they feature strings and brass. Listened with headphones, sometimes the vocals only come through one ear and I didn't like that. There were a few songs I didn't really like, but I enjoyed most of them. I'll eat my hands on this one, I liked it. Top songs: Sgt. Peppers lonely hearts club band Lucy in the sky with diamonds She's leaving home** A day in the life
Some of the old school beetles stuff felt a bit disjointed in an otherwise experimental (for the time) sounding album. That being said, there's too much good stuff on here to not give it a 4
This album makes me look stupid for thinking that people listen to the Beatles to look cool. Bro this album hits like a cold pool and a miller lite on the hottest day of summer
Well - I love about 7 songs on this album: Sgt. Pepper, With a Little Help From My Friends, LSD, Getting Better, Lovely Rita and A Day in the Life...The others, the psychedelic and the experimental... just weird, but totally understand and appreciate the genius behind them. OF course none of this would have happened if the Beach Boys never released Pet Sounds!
Psychedelic goodness
it's a good album but not my favourite from the Beatles discography. I like that it's a concept album which is very cool and innovative but the songs within it don't always flow perfectly well and the album feels a little disjointed at times. being a Beatles album, it of course has some great bangers though
I often play this album It is a classic but I'm leaving only 4 stars because not every track is a banger and it is rather short.
The most carefree and fun Beatles LP in my opinion – it's clear the band is simply enjoying themselves on this one, and that spirit more than carries through while listening. Some fun instrumental forays into different genres spice up the usual Beatles sound while staying true to the band's core, and as always the writing is evocative and rich without bogging the songs down. This LP does lack cohesion (that's really the entire concept of this concept album) which makes it a bit of an odd one, but there are some truly beautiful tracks here that range from rollicking to heartbreaking alike. Glad to have this one show up in rotation, especially here near the end of the project - save the best for last!
Would definitely follow Sgt Pepper into battle. Amazing mixing and concepts for ‘67.
I'm not a huge Beatles-stan, but there are some songs of theirs I really do like and this album has a lot of them. Day in the Life has always been one of my favorites, and I love the Dixeland-but-British sound of When I'm 64.
I've never loved this album, but actually I was feeling it on this listen. I still prefer a few other Beatles albums more, but this is a solid selection. 3.8/5
A landmark release and undeniably a sonically cohesive work… but in terms of songs, not something I come back to much. I mean, who has much use for “Lovely Rita” or Mr. Kite on their own? Also, Zappa did it first and better. Best I can do is B+
four stars
It’s hard objectively rating Sargeant Peppers as it is such a classic well known album. I feel my dad must have played this album a thousand times on countless long country drives. There’s definitely a bunch of classic tracks that I love like and connect with like Day in the Life but not sure I totally love it as a whole
A classic feel good album. 5/5 for being the Beatles, for the album in its time. But because we can look at the entire catalog of the band, I can only give it 4 stars.
Was on the for a solid 3, then A Day in the Life swung it. Not sure even in my top 5 Beatles albums. Good tunes but Within Without you, George, not your finest work, you let the side down.
Great album that I have heard a million times. Worth listening to every now and again.
The Beatles' music is so simple and yet very engaging. 4.5/5.
One of the most important albums ever. A lot of my favorites wouldn't exist if not for this one.
When I’m 64, with a little help from my friends
Creative, unique, interesting.
This was the first time listening to this whole album. It seemed to have a different Beatles vibe than I was used to, and it was pretty good.
solid
All tracks are very familiar now and some are a chore to listen to - when I'm 64 and good morning - otherwise pretty sound, but not their best.
Man, I really don't know if I've sat down and listened to this album in its entirety before. What struck me most in that exercise was how completely disjointed it sounds. A collection of great tunes, but lacking cohesion imho
Feels a little rougher around the edges than my favorite Beatles stuff but was still a really fun listen. Favorite song: Getting Better
The issue with the psychedelic era, really with any sort of experimental work is that history vindicates the aspects that inspire, but leaves other elements looking less than impressive. For Sgt Peppers, this means that while songs like She’s Leaving Home, Within You Without You and particularly A Day In The Life still seem fresh and inspired others date the album very squarely to the mid to late 60’s. I am naturally going to be suspicious of anything so long regarded as the greatest anything ever, and so have given Sgt Peppers a pretty wide berth in the past, which I do regret. For the most part, this is pretty good, and while it’s good songs are arguably better than many of The Beatles other good songs, it’s less inspired songs are just fine
I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but this is a good album and its influence on how music was made afterward can not be denied.
Really good album. A lot of musical variety and skills on show and every piece was a flavourful experience. I didn't expect the Beatles to sound like this at all, I now understand why they are one of the greatest. I will probably listen to this album again.
I thought this album was overhyped but it was honestly pretty good. A lot of the songs are catchy and some on the melodies immediately catch you. No extreme emotions were felt during this album but i can respect just how much this album probably changed music in them earlier years. A very good album and I would listen again
Love The Beatles. Not the entire album, but I do like a lot of the songs.
The 2017 mix of With a Little Help From My Friends is so good? Felt like I was in the studio with them. On the other hand, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds doesn't hit as hard as it used to. GETTING SO MUCH BETTER ALL THE TIME :) The sounds on Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite are so whimsical!
Fantastic album, not a huge beatles fan but perhaps I should listen more
Beatles, qué más añadir?
I liked it. Cool concept style.
Day in the life is a tune
i've tried to listen to this a few times, not sure why I hadn't yet
i remember being OBSESSED with this as a kid, and now, despite appreciating the music more, i don’t like it quite as much? still good though
Classic!
Always a classic
Beatles are great
Standouts: With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Within You Without You, Lovely Rita, A Day In The Life
Is good
Very nice, nothing more nothing less was expected
So so close to 5 stars for me, couple misses in the middle of the album lose me but overall fantastic
Just enjoy the ride . . .
very progressive for the 1960's. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the Beatles finding their music a little uninteresting I can recognize it's cultural impact and the influence it had on many of the musicians I love.
Just nice.
I like the Beatles and love a lot of their songs... but i am not a die hard fan that thinks that everything is amazing. because Beatles is not only a musical phenomenon but also a cultural it is often under a heavy bias in from my point of view. For me the album starts of with a great introduction, some hits then fades into a mix between pop songs and easy listening psychedelic songs and before you know it you end with a day in the life (which i mostly remember the "i heard the news.." parts). Its a great album but i feel that i only remember the beginning and the end and maybe some bits and pieces in the middle. But hey, that's just my take as a regular listener and a non Beatles fan. it is still a nice album with some great tunes and a significant importance to music history
Really great songwriting! That’s Beatles
Old news
worst era of a 5/5 discography. i don't find these as catchy as the albums before or as close to a masterpiece as the later albums. that said, i still love some of the songs on this album, 'a day in the life', 'being for the benefit of mr.kite!' and 'lucy in the sky with diamonds'.
All time Classic. My 4th favorite Beatles Album: 1. Abby Road 2. The White Album 3. Let it Be 4. Sgt Peppers
This felt more like an album than revolver. It did not have as many of the big hits, but I enjoyed the flow and I was surprised when I was almost done listening to the album.
This is the first album of my 1,001 that I was familiar with, and it's not my favorite Beatles album. Most of the songs are a bit too drug-fueled for my taste, although of course "When I'm 64" and "She's Leaving Home" and "A Day in the Life" are great.
The Beatles
good album, lots of fun
Within you, without you. When I’m 64. A day in the life
Ahead of its time
Sampling the sound of cheering crowds, George Martin is the 5th Beatle. Woof.
Super enjoyable. Lucy is my favorite song off this album because of the time I saw the Circ de Solei show. The performance for that track was beautifully enchanting and I just hold it so dear to my heart. That whole show was amazing. Anyway, I don't think I can rate it above 4 because I'd only add Lucy to my main playlist.
Obviously it's the Beatles. Album is weaker on the back half
Yeah this was kinda fun. 4/5
en general es un buen album, tiene ciertas canciones un poco embolantes pero está bueno
Bonito descubrir a los beatles desde dentro. Me ha sorprendido que haya tantos tintes diferentes. Desde matices arabes (marroquíes?) hasta... Lirico y good mood.
They are one of the greatest bands of all time for a reason. So much talent represented in this band. Many of the songs were familiar, although this is the first time I’ve listened to the album start to finish. Seems a good representation of what I know about them. Poppy British rock that stands the test of time with catchy tunes and lyrics. It’s art for sure.
Welp. These guys are good. This must be the album that started a bunch of different themes in the modern music culture from eastern sounds, to circus/carnival sounds. They did it first and i enjoyed it inspite of every one always raving about this band. It was good and I may listen to it again some day. 4/5
Couple good tunes, I would listen to it again. 4/5
Not my jam
Deep tracks I didn't know well... For a reason
Wow what a coincidence! I just listened to Abbey Road on my own and loved it a ton, lets see how this compares! So many hits on this one I probably know more of the songs already. This one seems a little more fantastical, would we call this Art Pop? It's definite psychedelic... a lot of these songs are very jaunty! I think the second half is a little less compelling, within you without you is very long and a little rambling for me. I think I enjoy more of the songs on Abbey Road, this one is a few too many funny character songs
Is this the first meta album where it's a band pretending to be another band in an album?
Sehr gut.
Best song - Getting better
This may have been the only time I've listened to the full album front to back. I think I get why it was so groundbreaking for the time, and it works better as a full album than I was expecting
Very good
it's good very good. 9.0/10
It's Beatles ~ the Beatles album I had when I was a kid. Okay to listen to again, but way too familiar.
Everyone knows this album and it is great but I personally rate Revolver or Abbey Road as the best albums by The Beatles. Shoot me.
Invention of the Concept Album. Integrates Art and Music. My first listen must have been around 1975.
Pretty good, enjoyed the experience
good stuff
4. Artig Beatles album!
The Beatles man baigi nepatīk, bet šis albums bija jajaja, not bad!
Starts with really good energy, first songs are absolute hits! But it did get boring by the end. Nothing special about the second part of the album.
Great leap back for a great band.
Not my fave Beatles album. Still a breath of fresh air though, so varied, so original.
Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: I love this one, not my favourite by any means but it’s so uplifting in so many ways and to me this makes me feel ever so grateful for the friends in my life Favourite Song: Track 2 - With a Little Help From My Friends Songs liked/Total songs: 11/13
4.5 stars. Summer of Love! It's catchy, it's zany, it's art, it's mainstream pop. A lot going on here, in a good way...LSD working well to the band's benefit. Lyrically touches on a variety of cultural changes during a pivotal era. The standout is "With A Little Help From My Friends" which will always be a classic.
Innovative in storytelling and production, great flow between tracks, and some iconic tracks. I don't think this is actually close to their best overall record, and a few of the songs fall somewhere in the middle of their overall catalogue for me (She's Leaving Home and Lucy In The Sky I do find a bit overrated). On the other hand, songs like With A Little Help From My Friends and A Day In The Life continue to grow on me, despite their historic praise. The latter of those two in particular seems to me to be a song that transcends not only this album, but the band itself. It kind of sits alone on another shelf, untouchable, like 'Hallelujah' or 'Auld Lang Syne' or something. It's just separate to other songs. An achievement and probably (maybe) their best ever track. Three and a half. Fave track: A Day In The Life
Never been a huge Beatles fan, but I can appreciate that it’s well done.
Great album to smoke opium to
A classic, tons of fun. Darkly humerous punctuated with excellent rock music
A great album with a well-deserved reputation as a classic. Just listen.
Favourite songs: With a Little Help From My Friends, Getting Better, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, When I'm Sixty Four, Lovely Rita, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, Fixing a Hole Least favourite songs: Good Morning Good Morning, A Day In The Life 4/5
It's got some bops no doubt. Also some fairly uninteresting tracks tbh
A classic
First album I ever bought with my own money. This poster hung on my wall for YEARS.
Well this is the first Beatles album I ever liked, the only song I'm not big on is within you without you. Though it's always wild to relisten to Beatles and hear lyrics about abusing your partner (getting better). Also It's okay (to leave a dog in a hot car) is a weird one. 4.5?
What more needs to be said? It’s great, obviously. Great songwriting, great production. The contrasting voices and songwriting of jim lemon and pete mccarthy never sounded more distinct than on a day in the life. Lucy in the sky is in the running for all time best song about drugs. And Mr kite is a big standout for me as well, i love a good circus themed song.
nice
This is probably my favorite Beatles album of all, just for the sheer scale of innovation, and its place in both music history and pop culture. There's just so much to take away from it. The album came not long after the Beatles' met with Bob Dylan, and I think we all can imagine the types of substances that were consumed while they were hanging together. It was there the Beatles began to leave behind that Ed Sullivan bowl-cut boy-band image and reach for something...a little messier. In a simple phrase I once heard a teacher say, they went from being guys you could introduce to your folks, to guys you really, really couldn't. In the raw innovative energy of this album, I think you can really glean that massive shift in the band's identity. Musically, however, I have never been insanely into the Beatles' work. I respect them as visionaries, especially with this album, but my ears wouldn't give this a 5/5. At best, George Harrison (the most talented of the group in my opinion) really gets to shine with his multi-instrumental talents in this, and it's always a treat to spot all the different things he plays while listening. If you ever take a look at the credits on the back of this album, you'll see just how insane the instrument ensemble is.
All time classic.
Got in a car accident while taking my extremely sick kid to the pediatrician while listening to this which may have cost it a star.
Great mix of songs, some Arabian-sounding stuff in the middle
This one gets all the attention but I don't think it's as innovative as it's competitive motivation (Pet Sounds) nor is it the true zenith of the Beatles' mastery of their craft (Abbey Road)
79/100
Classic
Franchement étonnamment surpris d’autant apprécier cet album, en sachant d’autant plus que je déteste les Beatles de base. Cool, bizarre, innovant et audacieux j’aime bien.
bit camp but comforting when you know all the songs
Good album, with some really great songs. A little too experimental here and there
classic
75 Based on this scale: 1 - 0 to 19 2 - 20 to 39 3 - 40 to 59 4 - 60 to 79 5 - 80 to 100 This is when The Beatles got more interesting. Almost proto-prog. Good stuff.
It’s a good album front to back. I don’t find myself enjoying every track as much as Abbey Road, but I don’t find Sgt Pepper’s annoying as I do with Magical Mystery Tour, which leads to a conclusion of 4 stars.
I think I get it now
Pretty good diverse selection of songs, solid Beatles album but nothing special or standout
Blasphemous, I know, but the middle of this REALLY drags. I don't know why people in the 60's were so obsessed with the god damn circus. At the same time, A Day In The Life might be one of the 10 best songs ever created. 4/5
I love the meta-humor of the Beatles making an entire album that is framed around the proposition of performing live for an audience directly after deciding that they would never again perform live for an audience.
Like listening to a play. Very warm and happy
A landmark album for a reason, laid the groundwork for a ton of different acts across the eventual rock/indie/psychedelic landscape. Even now it still sounds like a modern album, and you can tell groups like Tame Impala take a lot of their influence from this sound
This album is fun times!
8.25 Favorite - with a little help from my friends Least favorite - within you without you Sleeper - Lovely Rita
Oh god, daar zijn ze dan. The Beatles, hofleverancier van elke zichzelf respecterende beste muziek allertijden lijst En dan ook nog een album wat universeel als een van de betere Beatles albums wordt beschouwd. Hoe dan ook, is het een eclectisch geheel, waarbij de vier muziekgoden ons meenemen op een trip Alsof je zelf een flowerpower hippie bent, lekker gaand in je volkswagenbusje. Al met al, valt me dit niets tegen, het is best vermakelijk. Oke die complete dierentuin die bij Good Morning uit de kast wordt gehaald is echt hilarisch. Favo's: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Within You Without You, Good Morning
Some of my favourite Beatles songs on this.
Well, I know this. Side B is better, because Side A is silly. Too much McCartney. What they did with the studio is still pretty amazing.
Listening to this on headphones is painful with the extreme left-right mixing.
Amazing bass playing, great Melodies and influential for a reason, tho some songs I wanted to skip.
important for the Timothy Leary LSD generation
I understand its significance, but it just doesn’t really hit me as a perfect album. It’s difficult to connect with at times because of the combination of jaunty music with fairly unserious lyrics. It sounds like the soundtrack to a television show that no one watches reruns of anymore. The Beatles always sound to me like they recorded inside a fucking tin can.
After the first listen I would have given this album a 3/5, it was quite underwhelming after a good start, tracks 4 till "A Day in The Life" did not make much of an impression on me. But "A Day in The Life" seemed to be what the entire album was building towards and that particular song caught me immediately. After the second listen I could tell this album was special, and the songs I was initially indifferent to became enjoyable. This album may eventually become a solid 5 but that would require a few more listens.
I’ve never listened to this full album. The Beatles confuse me but I love their music.
Obscure album from some underground band. Never heard it before. But it is not bad. I'd say, try it, if you can get your hands on it.
Some duds in the middle, but otherwise iconic album.
OMG, Je l'attendais depuis un bout! Pas aussi wow que le White Album à mon avis. S'écoute bien en boucle comme l'album de Marvin Gaye.
The first Beatles album I´ve listened to, front to back, and definitely not gonna be the last one !
Biased
Not my favourite Beatles. Bit gimmicky with the circus stuff (half the album) and sitar (Within You Without You), but with a couple of all time great tracks in there (She's Leaving Home, A Day in the life).
This is such a pleasant album! I didn't listen to the Beatles growing up so I feel like I don't have as much familiarity/nostalgia associated with it. It is still a terrific album with tons of variety and crystal clear production. I like the variety of instruments and singers that are used throughout. The album feels simple and complex all at once. It is easy to throw on as background music, but there is also a lot of nuanced instruments and vocals that are layered throughout. Good stuff, Beatles!
Really enjoyed it, good mix of experimental and more original Beatles style songs.
I like beatles
It's a classic
I've never listened to this album all the way through before, but am familiar with a lot of the songs from my dad playing Beatles in the car when I was a child. I loved listening to it, and had a lightbulb moment when listening to Within You Without You - that the Flight of the Concords song is spoofing it on their track Prince of Parties. I'd never been able to pin down what song FOTC were attempting to spin before, but now I know :)
Sgt. Pepper raises the conundrum of do you evaluate the album purely on the listening experience or does one need to factor in the context of the album's release and the impact it has? One could argue that no album had a bigger impact on popular music than Sgt Pepper but for me it's songs aren't as strong as the other "iconic" Beatles albums. In retrospect it's kinda of silly that the first concept album is basically just about a band that is singing songs.
Probably my favorite Beatles album so far (I’ve listened to Meet the Beatles, the White Album, and Abbey Road). It feels like the most cohesive album experience with a generally consistent sonic through line. With A Little Help From My Friends was my favorite track from this record.
Pretty good, I never really bothered listening to them before but I might have to now. Very fun album.
Old, positive music, good for the morning
Excellent
All through the 90s the received wisdom was that this was the greatest Beatles album. It outshone all the rest apparently. So imagine my confused face when I finally graduated from the red and blue albums to actually stick this on. I think I'd already heard Revolver, Rubber Soul, Hard Days Night and Help before this, it did not escape my notice that my mum and dad both had stopped buying Beatles records with Revolver. So maybe they got turned off by the drugs stuff, I should ask. Anyway I found a CD of this in my brother's stuff one day and stuck it on. And I was.... slightly disappointed? It's obviously excellent, but we are saying this is the Greatest... Beatles album, that is high praise. Nowadays things are a bit more measured, most people probably say Revolver, hipsters and me might say Rubber Soul are more consistently outstanding. Here we do have outstanding stuff of course, some of their greatest ever songs, A Day in the Life obviously, LSD. And a good start with the title track. Wet Wet Wet ruined little help from my friends for me. I think She's Leaving Home and Within Without You stand out for me of the other tracks. But besides that there's just far too much music hall ditties, 64, Getting Better, or daft stuff like Mr Kite and Lovely Rita. After LSD there's not really a Classic Beatles track that knocks you off your feet until a Day in the Life really does (one of the greatest songs ever made, by anyone - such an incredible thing, 5 great tunes in one and somehow still fully formed in and of itself). Perhaps if they'd fought and kept Strawberry Fields on it in favour of one of the ditties, it may be in the conversation. I just never choose to go back to this one. This possibly has the best cover art, but then Revolver has a shout there too. Gets points for being the starting gun for concept albums and the cultural touchstone but I have to give myself somewhere to go and I like a lot of albums a lot more than this one.
Rock. Pop. Psicodelia
Pänger
A lot of classic hits but a few songs came up short.
Hot take but I think this is far from the Beatles best work
All-time classic and a ground breaking album on the day of the release and yet I thought I would enjoy it more this time. I remember listening to it when I was in high-school and thinking it's one of the best things ever. And now I'm not sure if this was my actual opinion or rather something I was supposed to be thinking? I'm forever grateful to this website for 1) exposing me to an incredible variety of music and 2) forcing me to try and formulate my personal thoughts on each album every day. This process made me much more aware of my own preferences and now I'm able to express them and explain when I'm enjoying something and when I'm not. Here, in regards to this particular giant of an album (in terms of its stature), I can at the same time appreciate its influence and say that I'm not really enjoying the content that much. And when you remove all the reputation that comes with it, you're left with an album that goes in so many different directions it does not reach any of them fully. Thus, it leaves you with a feeling that there's just too much filler, which seems like a crazy statement for an album of 39 minutes. Still, in the end comes A Day in the Life, which really does manage to explain where the album's reputation came from, even in 2023. Final verdict: 5 for the reputation and significance in music history, 3 for my personal enjoyment = 4/5.
good
I want to act like I’m too cool for The Beatles…but when I listened to this on my drive home last night, it hit the spot. I love how out there the arrangements are, the vocals are in a class of their own, and the flow from track-to-track is just supreme. I could do without the lull in the middle where we have to push through Mr. Kite and Within You Without You (I’m not crazy about either track) but the rest of it is incredible. Great stuff.
Can’t go wrong with Sgt. Pepper now can you?
64 is my fav
The Beatles! Classic songwriting, silly melodies & tones, and influence from all sorts of world music. Not my favorite Beatles record, but it’s darn good. Decent 4 on this one for me.
I agree that objectively, everyone should listen to it at least once. I think it's great. I went through a phase in my early twenties where all I played was this, but times change. Still nice to hear once in a while.
I’ll give this a 4 so Marty doesn’t get mad at me, but this didn’t do much for me. First 3 tracks are great. Rest of the album isn’t bad at all but I don’t see the big deal. I’ll give it credit for being interesting.
4/5. Man I really wanted this to be a 5 but I can't give it with my history which is I played this every day in high school. I know this album front to back and the run from 64 to morning was always kind of mid. It's super important and should be listened to but it can never be anyone's favorite, that would only mean they haven't listened to anything else.
Almost 5
A great album, there's much about it. Must listen for everyone.
Fun to have a re-listen. Probably wouldn't go on my list of top three Beatles albums.
- tiene el mejor closer, A Day in the Life
A classic!
Mom had this vinyl! Let's give it a go. I'm pretty sure I've listened to it before but not sure if I listened to from beginning to end. There's a big mural downtown that mimics the cover art of this album. I like the sitar and drum on Within You Without You. I really like A Day In The Life! pretty.
Yep, agreed. One of the better Beatles albums and although it has its lesser tracks it’s still a great experience from start to finish.
Some solid songs. Loses me towards the middle though.
It was pretty good. A little strange in spots but an overall solid album
I don't know if this is a controversial take but I think Sgt. Peppers is probably The Beatles most overrated album. I was just not a huge fan of some of the experimentation on this album and I don't think it made it as listenable as "Rubber Soul", "Revolver" or "Abbey Road". I will say though I do think that up to this point in their catalogue this album has some of the best writing of any of their albums and I think that helped a lot. It is still The Beatles so it is still really good but not the obvious 10/10 that many people see it as. I was not a huge fan of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" or "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!" and I really dislike "Within You Without You". In all honesty this feels like the modern art of Beatles albums to me. It feels kind of artsy just to be artsy with an clear reason to do what they do but I may just miss the point. Still with all my disagreement with the praise this album gets it is still like a 9/10.
Kanske kontroversiellt, men detta hör inte till den absoluta toppen av Beatles-album. Finns åtminstone fyra som är bättre, som är förtjänt av en femma. Sgt. Pepper hamnar strax under. Känns ganska enkelt för mig att dela in låtarna i två kategorier, de jag gillar och de jag inte gillar: Gillar inte: 'Sgt. Pepper's...', 'With a Little Help from My Friends', 'Getting Better', 'Fixing a Hole', 'When I'm Sixty-Four', och 'Good Morning Good Morning'. Gillar: 'Lucy', 'She's Leaving Home', 'Mr. Kite', 'Within You Without You', 'A Day in the Life'. Min betygsättning av Beatles-album blir ju lite speciell, då jag väljer att jämföra dem sinsemellan. Och tydligen så når inte majoriteten av låtarna upp din den standard jag har på Beatles. Synd, för topparna är väldigt höga. TÄNK om EMI inte hade pressat bandet att släppa 'Penny Lane' och 'Strawberry Fields' som singlar, och de i stället hade tagit två av de sämre låtarnas plats. Har aldrig köpt hyllningarna albumet får på grund av att det är ett konceptalbum. Idén om att det är ett annat band än Beatles som spelar låtarna håller inte riktigt när det bara märks i första och näst sista låten. Däremellan är det gamla goda Beatles. Bästa låt: A Day in the Life.
One of the best albums from The Beatles but won't rate it higher due to musical preference, though I'm sure others would. High 4 star
I had gone into it having heard the first half ovrr the years up to "She's Leaving Home" which I really enjoy. But the second half with the inspiration from their various LSD experimentation, Hindi culture and the sitar exploration etc kind of loses me. I don't hate it but I also don't enjoy nearly as much. Still a great album though.
Maravilloso
After being seriously disappointed by ‘Revolver’, I was relieved by the beginning of this album, which showed itself immediately to be significantly better. The first few songs of this album were really great, though I felt the rest was not as good. It redeemed itself with the final few tracks. Solid 3.5
A lot of timeless classics on here. Feel like the album as a whole is great but has a few pothole songs that I’d normally skip
4/5
It's my list and I say this record isn't perfect. It's close. It inspired pretty much every record that ever came after it. But some of these songs don't land. Just ignore my scrub 4. Favorite tracks: "With a Little Help From My Friends", "When I'm 64", "A Day in the Life"
It's not the best Beatles album (that would be revolver or Let It Be) but it's the one that everyone knows. -1 for the interminable sitar track.
Håller än!
Никогда не был битломаном. От слова совсем. Да, какие-то песни я знаю, что-то там про жёлтую подводную лодку, вчерашний день и ночь трудного дня. По крайней мере, так переводчики на пластинках Мелодии перевели. Группу Битлз я в голове представлял себе не так, а ровно так, как они выступали до этого альбома. Здесь же ливерпульская четвёрка пустилась в эксперименты с формой и мелодиями и получилось что-то... назовём мягко, необычное. Не то чтобы мне не понравилось, но и особого кайфа не испытал. Хотя пока готовил материал по этому альбому, я как-то проникся им... и концептуальным подходом (в 67ом-то году), и техническими новшествами, и использованием индийских инструментов... короче, добрый альбом, хороший. До крепкости чуть-чуть не хватило.
One of the greats
Ok)
Objectively a perfect record. A day in the life is such a great song. One of the most important and influential records of all time but giving it a 4 cause I don’t really like some of the weird goofy stuff like Mr kite.
I came close to refusing to listen. How many times do you need to hear Pepper to accept that it's half decent? But I gave in, hoping to hear something new. I can always come back to the White Album, Abbey Road, even Let It Be. But I'm not sure that Pepper has the long lasting quality. It's more of a project than a tight rock 'n' roll album. She's Leaving Home still gets me.
Looooove the Beatles <333 I do like some of their other albums more than this one tho I liked the theme of a show/circus running pretty consistently through the whole album
a classic with a lot of flavours
160 albums into this journey. I was seriously concerned that I hadn't heard a Beatles album yet. Sgt Pepper would not have been my choice, but yes, it is an album that should be heard at least once. A Day In the Life is one of the finest Beatles songs recorded, but it doesn't make up for the whole of the album being less engaging. Most of the songs are very good, but this is not the album of course to listen to on any given day.
I highly doubt I have anything to say about this album that hasn’t been said before. An absolute classic.
Classic
This shit was so fire
4.5
Still a great album.
Amazing
Album plus conceptuel que ce à quoi je m'attendais. Album plus rock et plus près de mes goûts que ce à quoi je m'attendais. Les chansons pourraient avoir encore plus d'ampleur. Présence de plusieurs instruments inattendus. L'album aurait pu davantage plonger dans le psychédélique.
The sound effects on Lovely Rita are underrated. Every line is met with delightful sound effects and surprises at every turn. Classic.
One of their most complete from top to bottom and great follow up to revolver.
Despite being one of the most recognisable album covers from The Beatles, it’s likely the one I’m least familiar with. Looking at the track listing, I had no idea that With A Little Help From My Friends was a Beatles song! I thought it was Joe Cocker originally. Songs I already knew: With A Little Help From My Friends Favourites: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite I really enjoyed this album. It was a little odd at times, but never overbearingly so. Any psychedelica here still comes from a grounding of catchy pop music, so remains easy to listen to and enjoy. I’d heard of the song Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds before and knew it was one of the big ones, but found that I didn’t actually recognise it when it was on. Overall, this was a fun record with a bit more bombast that other Beatles albums I’ve heard. I definitely recommend this.
Hur betygsätter man det här? Så mycket klassiker det kan bli. Men ärligt är låtarna inte mycket mer än ok, förutom ett par undantag. A day in the life är den stora höjdpunkten.
Score: 70 Some good songs. Some mid songs. At least they admit they beat women on this album
The Beatles beat all their instruments and sing about drugs.This is my first time hearing a Beatles album in full. It sounds ahead of its time. Very good production and a great mix of all kinds of songs, but they all feel like they belong and make a complete project. Its cool to hear experimental music and sounds this early on. Listening to it now, I believe that this would change the industry.
Kinda as always with the Beatles, and especially this era of them, the production history of this is a lot more interesting to me than the music itself. It's good, but I find it musically less interesting than Revolver, and historically less interesting than White Album
I did enjoy the show. Fixing a Hole to Within You Without You is a bit of a bore but it picks up again with When I’m Sixty-Four.
So far the Beatles make up only 2% of the albums I have reviewed on this site, so much lower number than anticipated. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is one of the few albums that I have already heard start to finish on my own (which is something, I guess?). There is no denying - this record probably revolutionised popular music and started countless experimentation, that resulted in new music genres of all kind. Sound as of late 60s is definitely unique. As it stands right now, I think the reception of the album is still good, but not as amazing as you would think. It starts with a great trio of songs, Self-titled, "With a Little Help of my Friends" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". All three are now in popculture, many covers were made (some even better than original), and they still sound fresh and quite epic. After those songs, I couldn't find anything that would be as interesting, it all felt like a filler to this great opening. Small exception maybe to "A Day in the Life", which nicely mixes McCartney and Lennon style. Other than that, slightly disappointing for the "Greatest Band in History".
Favourites: Fixing A Hole, Shes Leaving Home, A Day In The Life - Gutes Intro + Ende - keine langweiligen lieder, gute abwechslung - kann man gut am stück hören - skit-songs sind gut, lockern auf
Very interesting and unique style. Some of the lyrics threw me off but the instrumentals make up for it. Somewhat nostalgic but very quirky overall. Fave track(s): She's Leaving Home, Being For The Benefit Of Mr.Kite!
Can't write anything about this album that's not already written. i just don't care about the beatles and this has not changed anything. i've always found they make me a little bit nauseous. that said...credit where credits due
Fantastic!
Interesting album, didn't bore me. Many songs came through for me. They touched chords in my soul that the previous two proposed works did not. I undoubtedly reconfirm what many critics before me have said, an album that has had its day. I would add that despite the years it is still able to tell us something, I refer to the more strictly musical aspect.
Controversially, this is not even close to my favorite Beatles album, but it's still got some awesome songs.
As a Gen Z kid, this album does nothing for me. It’s got some good tracks (the self titled track), some great ones (Lovely Rita and A Day In The Life), and some totally dreadful ones (Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, I will never think to myself that I want to hear this song ever again.) I will say that The Beatles themselves are an overrated band, though they are incredibly important. Sweet Bob Dylan cameo in the cover, 4/5.
First Beatles album I’ve heard start to finish and thought this was good. First few tracks are great, Lucy in the Sky is far and away my favourite on here. After the song start I thought it fell into a lull of lames tracks, that wasn’t snapped until Mr.Kite but then When I’m 64 comes on and that was kinda lame too. From there on out they finish strong. It’s good, I liked it best when they were leaning heavy on the psychedelic sounds. Strong album 4 stars
There isn’t much to say about this album which hasn’t already been said ad nauseam. It’s a frequent entry in “Greatest Albums of All Time” lists, and more often than not it takes the prize. For me, the Beatles were suffering diminishing returns from Revolver onwards, and this record is no exception. Experimentation is used to mask the more dispensable tracks on this album, but that’s not to say it doesn’t at least partially live up to the hype. The soaring conclusion is deserving of masterpiece status on its own, so you can overlook missteps like “When I’m 64”. The Beatles were never a rabble-rousing group of revolutionaries, at least in their lyrical sentiments, but the musical leap forward on this album is indeed a great one. It’s not quite deserving of 5 star status for me (there is just too muy throwaway fodder here for my liking) but its highs are indeed among the most significant in pop music history.
Above Beatles average
A Day In the Life is one of the best songs written, so this album should be 5 star. A couple of other nice songs too, but there is way too much filler and the album as a whole is quite a bit behind Revolver (10/10).
The 500th album to rate and it's got a massive status. I can't help comparing it to Revolver, which we had just a week ago. Both records share an incredible richness but to me Sgt. Pepper is weaker in terms of song material, coherence and flow. I'll leave it at 4.
Top 5 njihovih albuma. Al opet, ima puno boljih od ovog - Revolver, Rubber Soul i Abbey Road, definitivno su ispred ovog albuma.
I know this is sacrilege but I've never listened to a full Beatles album. This one is pretty good, though I can't help but feel a bit disappointed. Too much hype. I've always loved A Day in the Life though, didn't know it was the closer of this album!
What can we say about Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band that hasn't been said before? Well, the cut-out of Marilyn Monroe was actually in colour, but before the layout was assembled the lads had a competition, where they would take turns to ejaculate onto the cut-out, maximum of three minutes from flop to pop, the winner being the one who lasted the most laps. By the time of the photoshoot, the Monroe cut-out was coated in so much Fab Four baby gravy that it appeared black and white. For the record, Ringo won the contest.* Unusual historical titbits aside, Sgt. Pepper is probably the most famous album of them all, and the most memetic. I've sat down with mates trying to name the various people on the cover, and I'm not an especial Beatles fan. The cover is also the accidental originator of many a supposed Paul-is-Dead hint (Paul has his back to the camera on the back cover, he's wearing a badge saying O.P.P., if you take the top half of the LONELY HEARTS writing on the bass drum, then reflect it, it spells I ONE X HE DIE (some people have simply lost touch with reality)). Regardless of its revolutionary reputation, Sgt. Pepper was a transitional work for the Beatles. Having recently decided to quit touring, the four lads took a three month break to follow their individual interests. George predictably went to India, Ringo just as predictably spent time with his family, John acted in the film How I Won the War, and Paul dropped acid for the first time (George and John having tried it previously). These solo pursuits fed ideas into what became Sgt. Pepper. George's love of Indian culture inspired Within You Without You (well, duh). John, being a bit of a tosser, had become more introverted and artsier, wishing to continue his psychedelic experimentation. Paul also wanted to try out those crazy new thoughts, man, and conceived of a fake band called Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which would allow the band to probe exciting, far-out genres, from avant-garde classical to music-hall. The result is a Beatles album. It has all the same strengths of a standard Beatles album and all the same weaknesses. And the honest soul will admit it rates at the standard honest Beatles rating: 4/5. There are genuinely great songs on here: that is true of pretty much every Beatles album. There's also some filler that mars the album: that is also true of pretty much every Beatles album. I know that sounds rather hedging, rather wishy-washy, but how radical do you expect an assessment of the Beatles to be? How radical? Isn't this supposed to be the album that blew the doors off the world? As a 30something man in the arse end of 2022, it may well be impossible for me to hear Sgt. Pepper as innovative. Sure, I can intellectually dig how new all this tape looping and reverb was at the time, but I have lived my whole life in a world where such techniques were commonplace and, in some instances, obsolete. However, other contemporary trailblazers have retained some inventive freshness, such as The Doors' The End or Trout Mask Replica, and in fairness to the Moptops, A Day in the Life has remained sparksome. But perhaps the Beatles were just too big for their brainwaves to stay their brainwaves, and their ideas would inevitably diffuse to become everyone's ideas. That may bring the advantage that I'm not being distracted by all the novelty and can thus assess the songs independently from the whoosh of the new. And it's a few great songs, a bit of filler. The great ones are the obvious ones (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, A Day in the Life), the filler tends to be mildly dull rather than unpleasant (She's Leaving Home, Good Morning Good Morning). One can see how certain beret-wearers might find the whole music-hall, band-playing-a-band playfulness to be just irritating, but one also tends to feel that to be the attitude of a churl. However, it doesn't warrant five stars, much less the status as possibly the greatest album of them all. Just be content that it's rather good, and avoid every album attempting to be their band's take on Sgt. Pepper (Their Satanic Majesty's Request et. al.). Seriously, they're all crap without exception. *That might possibly not be true, but nobody's said it before, have they? NoRadio, signing off.
Should I ever return to Amsterdam and do shrooms with the same mfs in the same shitty hostel at the same cluttered desk of crushed Heineken cans, a half drunken espresso, and a disassembled “spliff” (there was zero green, only tobacco), “Within You Without You” will most certainly be blaring on full blast from a busted laptop. Otherwise, this would be a 3 for me, but it is Sgt. Pepper’s and “A Day in the Life” is truly a masterpiece.
Let me tell you a story. My grandma, born in 1950, grew up with the Beatles in her life. In 1964, the Beatles began their North American tour: 32 venues in 31 days. Every girl aged 10-18 in the country was begging to get tickets, willing to sell a kidney just to get a sniff of the Beatles. Finally, the day came where tickets went on sale, and my dear grandmother’s cousin got tickets! What joy! As luck would have it, my grandmother’s cousin and her friend were quite young, still a preteen, and they needed a responsible older girl to go with them. A 14 year old they trusted. Wait…that’s my grandmother!!! Any normal teenage girl would have been beaming, thrilled to have the once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Beatles live at the Boston Garden. My grandmother, however, was not a normal teenage girl. She HATED the Beatles with a passion. She thought their music was boring and that girls were too into them. She has in fact stated many times that she only listens to “real rock”. In fact, to quote her on her concert experience, my grandmother despised going, saying “You couldn’t actually hear anything they were singing because the crowd of girls was just shrieking the whole time”. She puts it up there as one of the worst concerts she has ever been to, and to this day refuses to listen to the Beatles. For that reason, along with other inconsistencies I found within the album, I cannot give this a 5 as many others have. This one’s for you Grammy!
The apple of music. Let's hear it... Sometimes it's hard being a contrarian (I'm a Samsung guy). This album deserves all the praise it's getting. It's funny, I remember in high school people thought it was cool to dislike the Beatles, what a rubbish lot. She's leaving home surprised me, i like it, same with being for the benefit of Mr kite. I enjoyed within without you. I'm gonna say a 4.75, it's nearly a 5, but I've decided that to be a 5 I have to know nearly every song and this isn't that for me.
An obvious classic. From start to finish this is an album that has earned its status as an all-timer. Great production quality and even better songwriting strays sometimes a bit too much into the psychedelic for my tastes.
What is there to say about this that hasn't been said yet in 1000's of articles, hundreds of documentaries and dozens of books on just this album? Mainly my opinion that it's not the Beatles' best work. That would be Revolver.
While I liked it better than some other Beatles Albums since it's shorter and easier listening since it's not as "artsy", it is lacking a few more memorable songs to be 5 stars
We all know this one of course, but I haven't heard a few of the songs. My saved tracks: Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!, When I'm Sixty Four, A Day In The Life
Some unsettling experiences for me in the album, but obv so much to love and contemplate
Never heard of these before. Bright future ahead of them. It sounds at times like they’d had a little bit of drugs, but that’s ok. Fixing a Hole was my favourite track of first run through. When I’m Sixty Four had elements of the theme tune from One Foot In The Grave, and sounded a bit novelty compared to the rest of the album. Will definitely return to this, from these bright young upstarts
Great album with so many good tracks Highlights were: With a little help from my friends Lucy in the sky with diamonds When I'm sixty four
Rubber soul>>
It was great to see an iconic Beatles album for the weekend and it was a nostalgic listen. I loved it when I was a teenager but since then, and with their influence, music has proliferated and I’ve matured so much as I thought I’d score it 5* it has to be 4*
I'm going to just go out and say I always thought this album was far too overrated. I mean, obviously there are some excellent songs on here that defy expectations of what a "pop" song can do, but then you have songs like "Fixing A Hole" that just come off as awkwardly paced and boring. I just always felt this was the worst of latter half of The Beatles musical career, and that includes Yellow Submarine and Let It Be, and that Magical Mystery Tour was just a better version of this album. Now, it sounds like I hate this alblum, but of course, a less than average Beatles record is still better than most albums in all of the history of music, and this album is no exception. A Day In the Life is fantastic, She's Leaving Home really shows that Paul just excels in more than just "silly love songs" and the beginning of the album until Fixing A Hole is hit after hit, really showing how important this album is. I view this album as an important stepping stone as to what we would see in the future, but doesn't quite hit that mark for me to be a perfect album.
Remastered in a very interesting way. Vocals in the beginning of songs are in only one ear, which was a first for me.
It took me awhile to get into the Beatles. I can appreciate what they did for music. Amazing talent.
have already heard, it’s the beatles what do u think, it’s brilliant
super allucinato, ma non tutte le canzoni mi piacciono, forse non sono il mio genere
probably need to sit with it a little more but was great
Ein af þessum plötum sem hafa verið í blóðinu mínu frá því ég fæddist. Svo margir gimsteinar.
Great album but doesn’t hit the way “Abbey Road” does.
I agree with Sean. This album is too inconsistent and weird. But it does have a few very good songs.

never really listened to beatles but i enjoyed it
Sgt Pepper gets 4/5 from me because while it's great when it's great, there's stuff in there that passed me by entirely, and none of it truly grabs me like a 5/5 should.
What a start to the album! The title track has tonnes of energy, then leads off really nicely into With a Little Help From My Friends and LSD which is great, but from there it loses its way a bit. It's all quite disjointed - the songs all sound very different and don't fit together particularly well as an album. The next three are a bit fluffy, then we go back into the psychedelic stuff with Mr Kite and a strange sitar interlude, before two more very nice but very twee ballads. Then we go back to the energetic and psychedelic stuff from the beginning. 4/5 for me, there's so many good songs on here, but it doesn't quite fit together well enough and there's some filler.
This was my second beatles album and this one actually blew my mind!! Definitely a 8/10 for sure
I liked the album, very experimental, unlike the typical beatles' songs
classic
A classic, but not their best work, 4/5 Highlight- "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"
Production and variation are great for their time. Musicality doesn't get stale moving from one song to another. A variety of genres and topics. After a few listens, it sounds like commentary on people, relationships and interpersonal searches in front of an audience. The song feels like it's being performed in front of an audience and then gets meta with a day in the life. This is just a very general knee jerk thought. Honestly wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't an over arching theme.
离开
I always hated on the Beatles for no real reason. Glad to see I was wrong with that opinion.
A true classic. Very good songs in a nice mix of styles. Surprisingly modern production.
inherited vinyl (low quality) - not fanatic about the beatles but i can appreciate this album. i love anything that goes meta about pop music. my favourite beatles son is a day in the life. i would have gone 5 stars but side B drags.
classic
Some songs I loved others… you can tell they were on drugs…
It's good but there's some rubbish on it
This one's a tad over-rated. To me more and more filler starts to appear on this album. I guess they might call songs like Lovely Rita and When I'm 64 whimsical, I call them filler. There are some very good songs, but not enough to hold my interest through the whole album. Give me Revolver or Rubber Soul anytime. 4 🌟
Hjalp ikkje på intervallene mine, men nice album uansett
Not my favorite of their albums, but has some great songs.
8/10. Kinda weak as Beatles albums go in my opinion, but When I'm 64 and With a Little Help from my Friends are great.
Classic! Probably the most imaginative album they have. 8/10
Onhan tää hieno levy mutta itse ehkä tykkään muutamasta edellisestä enemmän. Oon kuunnellut tätäkin pitkälti sterona vaikka varmaan monona pääsis paremmin oikeuksiinsa 4/5
Mahdollisesti toiseksi paras Beatles Rubber Soulin jälkeen. Vähän tosin vie tehoja, kun parhaat biisit miljoona kertaa kuultuja. Alkupuoli ja A Day in the Life toimii toki ikuisesti.
Will listen again.
very amazing guitar on the opening title track. already loving it. only gets better, WOW. it ends very strong too. this has changed my outlook a lot. the beatles aren’t a band i listen to a lot, but this may change that.
It's The Beatles, it's a classic!
Attempting to listen while placing myself in the era makes a difference. Flutes must have been all the rage back then
good album
Strong start, Fixing A Hole Good Morning bad song Good end with Sgt. Peppers closing and A Day in the Life
This is the Beatles Sgt Peppers. 4/5.
Sgt Pepper represents a breaking point in their career on several levels. Also happens to be one of the prototypical psychedelic records. It certainly defined the genre. (exception being The Beach Boys – Pet Sounds) (8/10) FT: With a Little Help from My Friends, A Day in the Life
This album is an absolute classic. What a trip! I've really learned to respect the Beatles doing this albumgenerator
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band might be my personal prime example of an album that I wish that I could have heard in the context of when the album was released. I know that many people have discussed the impact of this album, and it does have some great recordings, but I know that some of what the Beatles accomplished is lost to me because of what other musicians adopted after the release of this album. I think the track "A Day in the Life" (my favorite) is the closest that I can get to that feeling of ¿What did they do and how did they do it so well? I know I've listened to this album before, but about half of the tracks aren't familiar to me. "Getting Better" is my second favorite track. As time goes on I enjoy hearing from Ringo more than I used to. It was good to check back in on this album.
Un poco flojo para ser de los Beatles. Un 4.
This album starts off so stron and finishes brilliantly but there's some parts in the middle that don't hold their weight. After the first 3 tracks it's like a best of album but then it all just fades into the background until Within You Without You. A Day In The Life is such a great tune.
Je ne peux pas être contre ça.
Never been a huge Beatles fan
Needs no introduction
An interesting album, performed by several fine young men who I'm sure are going to go far.
Ahhhh yes, an album I’ve never listened to but with four songs I recognize. The opening song and Lovely Rita were the standouts of new-to-me tracks. A solid 4 and one that I could probably grow to like even more.
Very enjoyable, I prefer Revolver but this still feels special
A couple real stinkers on here like Mr Kite and Lovely Rita, but the brilliance of A Day in the Life outweighs the sucky parts and provides an effective climax to the album. Not their best work, possibly their most overrated work, but still worth a listen 55 years after it's release.
Felt very meh at first, but ended up liking "Lovely Rita" and "With A Little Help From My Friends" a lot.
Surprised this is the first beatles album to come up.
A decent album that is renowned for its greatness. At times I just dont get the Beatles and really dont see what all the fuss was about. They have better albums. The time they had to priduce this and also the money behind it allowed them the luxury that many bands dont have. Taking that into account is it that great an album it is made out to be.
Good enough
I liked the album a great start and entertaining album
Classic
