didnt like most songs:(
Finally! After 256 albums, I have finally drawn my first Beatles album. Today is going to be an amazing day!
simplemente los beatles, catedra de musica
Even Mr. Kite doesn’t detract enough from this album for me for it to be anything other than 5/5
Not my top Beatles album is really the only criticism I can offer. Easy five stars. Even the "lower" songs are better than some bands entire output. And surprisingly my favorite moment upon relistening (as I've livestened to this hundreds of time before) is Sgt. Peppers Reprise. Blistering. Also, highly recommended to have a good pair of headphones at the end of A Day In The Life.
Alright, I think I get it now. I've heard this album a few times before and appreciated some of the songs on it, but this listen was definitely different. Really good start to finish and one of the cornerstone albums for the beginning of prog and the concept album.
Estamos sin dudas ante palabras mayores. Este álbum podría estar tranquilamente en el top 5 álbumes de la historia y no me quejaría. Es por definición un álbum "Leyenda". Las canciones, la innovación, las genialidades individuales, la búsqueda cultural, y la relevancia histórica hacen de este álbum una auténtica obra maestra sin parangón. Un antes y un después en la historia de la música, podemos discutir si entra en el top históricos, incluso podemos discutir si el mejor álbum de los Beatles; pero nadie puede discutir la magnitud y relevancia que tiene este álbum. Mi puntaje es 95/100
Amazing album but not their best. Some favorite songs and definitely some interesting tracks. Loved When I'm Sixty-Four.
Burn the heretic! Burn the heretic! Unfortunately, I can’t locate myself in a musical context when hearing this would be revolutionary. So I’m left instead thinking this was discombobulated, meek in its experimentation, etc. Shoulda kept strawberry fields on here
No están tan mal los beatles
have listened to it, pretty good.
Malo como torturar un macaco
Hard for me to deny even with the cheesiness. It's quite a body of work.
I liked the first few songs but not so much the rest
I am not typically a Beatles fan, but this is my favorite album of theirs. It's just so goofy and fun. Handful of great songs on here that have always been a favorite. I like when they got weird with it. I like the more orchestral, random instrumental vibes.
4.6/5
Listened previously. Expectations: High - Verdict: Masterpiece - Probably the greatest album ever made. Perfect in every way.
Why do I have such trouble writing a review of Beatles albums. Maybe it's because I don't want to use the same sycophantic fawning clichés used by everybody else. But sometimes you just have to. This is my favourite Beatles album. I like all the tracks. Some I love. The contrast between each song - and even within songs makes it a record you have to listen to... meaning it forces you to.. rather than some albums you put on, do other stuff, and don't even notice it until it finishes. Sgt Pepper's always grabs your attention. I'm not going even try to pick apart every song. I just love the whole. And is't that the point of an 'album'?
Some memorable songs for sure but then they drop in silly ones and I just want to move on…
Really not sure how I feel about this album. I'm sure in the time it came out it was otherworldly. Some songs are just annoying, some are good.
greatest album ever made
You already know
Djöfull er þetta klikkað verk. Bítlarnir eru bara shittið. Öll lögin góð, conceptið skemmtilegt, frumkvöðlar algerir. Snilld. 6 stjörnur.
Meistaraverk sem breytti tónlistarsögunni. Bara Day in life hefði verið nóg, en svo ertu með allt hitt.
What I think is the 2nd best Beatles album behind Abbey Road.
Epic
Great concept album. The band members just wanted to make the weirdest music that they could think of at the time without caring about what their audience thought. The Beatles created a masterpiece.
Classic
Several songs on this album literally changed my life, and every song has something to give. I've said this before on this list, but if this isn't a 5 for me, I don't know what is.
Great album - lots of variety - never tire of hearing it
10/10 el mejor disco de la historia
Definitely a 5 star start to the album, back half struggles a bit
Первый альбом битлов который мне действительно понравился. Какие-то уникальные мелодии. Было ощущение что он включается в финальной серии сезона, когда герои, пройдя огромный путь в итоге проиграли, что начало доходить до них только что. И какая-то пустота внутри образовывается, потому что следующий сезон ещё не вышел, но ты знаешь что им придется ещё очень много чего расхлебывать
Always loved this album…the sound track of my teens. It was so extremely different from all else at the time. Lucy in The Sky my fave.
Wall to wall bangers
Solid throughout with cracking start and finish
Solid as a rock
Groovy, Uplifting and occasionally operatic. Just a bit repetitive at times
Naast dat het als een halve circus act klinkt luisterde het prima weg.
5?
Lo conozco. Amo a los Beatles. Este disco es muy teatral. Lleno de clásicos pero también tiene su historia. Desde lo visual, cuenta un momento de ellos como banda. Tan jóvenes y tan avanzados. Ya muy lejos de lo que los inició. Mi favorita: Fixing a Hole.
Didn't really hit me like other Beatles albums did. Still a 4 star tho.
Liked: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
I’ve enjoyed the Beatles and know most of the popular songs due to listening to classic rock radio through the years. That being said, this was a fun listen and there are a few songs on the album I don’t think I’ve heard before. I recently attended a George Harrison Tribute show in DC (Jackie Greene, Steve Kimock and others) and was happy to hear Within you Without out which was played at the show. I recall one of my favorite bands (Tedeschi Trucks Band) covers this song as well and will revisit the cover soon! The Beatles had a huge influence on musical history during and beyond their time as a band and I tend to appreciate learning more about music history and such! Happy listening all!
To quote a famous whining philosopher: "If I speak... big trouble, big trouble. And I prefer not to be in big trouble."
This album will change your life
Pues tiene un ritmo lento y relajate, no es mucho de mi estilo pero si me gustó, la verdad es buena música
It's an interesting album, but in my opinion there is nothing really noteworthy. I do like it better than my previous Beatles album, Rubber soul.
ja masterpiece was soll ich da sagen
O disco mais icônico da história? Provavelmente. Há outros, claro, Thriller, Dark Side, Rumours… Mas Pepper veio antes. Pepper abriu o caminho. E temos muito o que agradecer! Não é o melhor disco dos Beatles, mas não precisa ser. É lindo, é ornado, é místico, é atemporal, é infinitamente charmoso, é vital, é Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Certamente o LP mais acessível da banda, feito esse devido a sua fantástica introdução, com o Jab-Cruzado na forma da intro e With A Little Help. A introdução é explosiva, com uma ambientação orgânica que te convida a ouvir atenciosamente a tudo que virá a seguir. E a exclamação de “Billy Shears” que introduz os vocais caricatos de Ringo em Little Help, com os vocais backup do resto do grupo se tornam uma espécie de cobertor infinitamente aconchegante. Essa sendo a canção mais Beatles que os Beatles já Bitaram. A textura do baixo dançando com a voz do Ringo… introdução matadora, impossível ouvir ela e não ficar com vontade de ouvir o disco inteiro. Mil vezes e mais. Outro aspecto que torna esse LP tão acessível é sua finalização, mas falarei disso mais tarde. Para novos ouvintes, o disco é estonteantemente intrigante, te deixando sempre curioso pra ver qual caminho ele vai tomar a seguir, e ele sempre vai te surpreender. Dessa maneira, ele te prende e não te solta até o final de sua duração. Quem não lembra a primeira vez que ouviu Lucy In The Sky no contexto do álbum? A primeira vez que ouviu AQUELA parte de Mr. Kite? A primeira vez que ouviu a nota final de A Day In The Life… É tudo mágico e memorável. Muito se diz a respeito da classificação desse álbum como um “concept album”. Muitos críticos apontam que as únicas canções que seguem um conceito são as duas primeiras (e a reprise no final). Por anos eu concordei com essa noção, e atribuía isso ao McCartney tendo uma idéia mirabolante (a banda se transvestir como outra banda e compôr canções como eles) e o resto do grupo só decidindo fazer o que bem queria, como John com Lucy e Mr Kite e George com Within. Mas hoje vejo que não é bem assim. O álbum é sim temático, e o conceito se dá através de sua aparente inconsistência temática. É como se cada faixa do álbum fosse um ato diferente do espetáculo da banda do Sargento Pimenta, espetáculo esse que é estabelecido na introdução do disco, e que nós estamos na platéia assistindo. Billy Shears é o primeiro ato, e todas as outras faixas são diferentes atos performados por diferentes membros da banda dos corações solitários, é só uma pena que os Beatles nunca bolaram nomes para esses outros membros. Legal pensar sobre. Lucy In The Sky, When I’m 64, Within You, Lovely Rita… todas essas canções como pequenas peças teatrais. Cada uma com seus respectivos personagens no palco do Sargento Pimenta, fazendo suas respectivas bagunças e etc. Uma visão bem agradável e reconfortante, que nenhum outro álbum da banda (ou de qualquer banda!) reproduz. Um espetáculo inteiro contido aqui. E depois da reprise, o espetáculo acaba, e A Day In The Life é como uma espécie de prólogo, ou que tal, a volta para a vida real após o show, a consciência após o êxtase de um espetáculo, o baixo e o alto do mundano. Essa é, em minha opinião, a melhor interpretação, que leva em consideração até o próprio título da canção. Mas o que é essa canção? Além da maior composição da banda e uma das melhores canções da história, o que ela representa nesse disco? Sempre achei sua existência aqui um enigma. Ela possui essas qualidades misteriosas indescritíveis. A voz de Lennon, pra começar, nunca soou assim antes, tão etérea, frágil, onírica. O enorme clímax orquestral é nada além de orgásmico, e eu amo que nos momentos finais da canção você consegue ouvir até o ar pairando no estúdio, o som de cadeiras rangendo, tudo para capturar até o último suspiro daquelas notas finais. Um acorde magnânimo cuja ressonância você sente até aos confins da sua alma. Maravilhoso. Assim que se encerra um álbum. E a surpresinha no final pra irritar seus cachorros e te acordar do estado comatose que você certamente ficou após esse final apoteótico. Notável que estou tomando essa review nessa forma desordenada. Para os outros discos deles que peguei, eu escrevi reviews no estilo “track-by-track”, mas acho que Pepper não requer esse approach. Esse é de fato um disco conciso, que deve ser sempre discutido como uma coisa só. Sua produção é tão brilhante e tão visionária. Canções como Mr Kite parecem desafios herculanos de serem executados atualmente, sem levar em conta que o disco é de 1967 e foi gravado em quatro tracks. Surreal. George Martin, o quinto Beatle, merece todo o aplauso do mundo. E não só ele, é claro. A percussão, o baixo, as guitarras, os pianos, os vocais, tudo possui a maestria técnica que apenas uma banda já calejada com anos e anos de experiência tocando, compondo e encantado consegue adquirir, fazendo Revolver parecer apenas um passo comparado a maratona que esse disco percorre. Toda canção aqui é repleta de pequenos detalhes e florescimentos que te surpreendem a cada escutada ao disco. Melodias efervescentes, tons majestosos, um som convidativo que te faz mergulhar cada vez mais fundo nesse universo. Ouvir com atenção, pois cada mínimo detalhe reflete a infinita criatividade, alma e espírito de cada uma das mentes brilhantes que compunham a banda. Sem contar, é claro, os tóxicos que habitavam em suas mentes e sangue. A contagem com o curto “Bye” de Lennon no início da Reprise, o Jam Psicodélico sem igual no final de Lovely Rita, o coro fantasmagórico de 64, a desolação caprichosa de She’s Leaving Home… enfim, são inúmeros detalhes deslumbrantes e lustrosos pra te obcecar por toda vida. Prometi a mim mesmo quando gerei esse álbum que eu não iria mencionar Strawberry Fields Forever e nem Penny Lane. Acabei de descumprir essa promessa, e continuarei a descumprindo. Por muitos anos, pensei que este álbum seria melhor com essas canções. São duas brilhantes faixas, SFF sendo uma das melhores que a banda já compôs, mas a realidade é que este disco não precisa delas. Tamanha é a magnitude do trabalho que o grupo executou aqui, que uma canção do calibre de Strawberry Fields pode confortavelmente ficar de fora, ser um bônus. Pois assim é, o pacote completo, é tão coeso que qualquer mínima alteração piora o disco consideravelmente. Por anos, eu pulei a faixa Within You, pois a achava muito longa, prolongada, e que ela causava uma ruptura no flow do álbum. Hoje observo que, pulando-a, você fica com uma experiência mais vazia. Ela é necessária, e por mais que ainda não seja inteiramente minha pira, eu a admiro bastante. Faz parte do espetáculo esse ato místico, e sua longa duração até que passa rápido quando você ouve atentamente. As risadas no fim da canção e o fato que a faixa mais pitoresca e leve do álbum a acompanham ajudam seu posicionamento no LP. Deste modo, observa-se o quão consistente esse disco realmente é, que até mesmo minhas faixas menos favoritas possuem tantas qualidades positivas a serem mencionadas. Acredito que o aproveitamento desse disco se dá em forma da curva de sino. De modo em que, por ser tão acessível, é o tipo de disco que um novo fã imediatamente se apaixona e acredita ser insuperável. Mas conforme ele vai se aprofundando melhor na discografia do grupo, ele vai gradativamente o deixando de lado por novidades mais apetitosas e sensuais, como Revolver e Magical Mystery Tour. Após anos se familiarizando com cada trabalho da banda e suas particularidades, ele certamente já desenvolveu suas próprias opiniões e posturas a respeito de tudo que ouviu até então, às vezes até criticando certas decisões da banda, como inclusões ou omissões de faixas específicas, ou toques da produção. E é nesse momento que, ao retornar a sua jovem paixão, ele ali se encanta novamente pelas exatas mesmas coisas que o encantou da primeira vez, e todo o processo se inicia novamente. A paixão volta, a lua de mel reinicia, tudo parece tão lustroso quanto da primeira vez, e o senso cínico de buscar algo errado evapora, pois ele está apaixonado pelo disco como ele é, e nem precisa mais pensar no que poderia ser, pois não existe algo que ele poderia ser que é maior do que ele é. Talvez eu esteja cometendo a falácia de tratar minha experiência pessoal e subjetiva como um fato imutável, mas que seja. De certo, é assim que me sinto. Pepper não é meu disco favorito, mas já foi. Não digo de retornar a ele pois nunca o deixei, mas é inegável que minha opinião a seu respeito já flutuou com o tempo. Meu ranking pessoal de Beatles é tumultuoso, e nunca haverá um posicionamento concreto, e Pepper certamente é um dos itens que mais varia lá. Mas no final das contas, hoje tenho em vista que este é um disco impecável, com um valor de reprodutibilidade enorme, influência incalculável e apelo grandioso. Nada nunca mais foi o mesmo, e devemos tudo à este álbum. 5/5
This is a good one to hear again. It is different than other Beatles fare, but it is a culturally iconic album.
Young me was still fighting the Beatles until Lucy in the sky with diamonds blew that door down one fateful night. I can still see the shrine in Megan Isom’s room.
Hello old friend
Rare is the album that has this much diversity but feels tied together. If you can't find a song you love on this album, you are a sad husk of a person who couldn't identify art if it bit you on the nose. The non-hits on this album might be my favorite Beatles songs (Fixin' A Hole, Lovely Rita, With A Little Help From My Friends, 64). It might not be the album I blast the most, but it probably evokes the most emotion, and I'm a dude. One of the finest pieces of art I've ever had the pleasure to listen to.
L'album qui a eu plus d'impact que les premiers pas sur la lune.
I've always been on the fence about the Beatles, but taken as a whole this is just a terrific album
det shi ahh twin. fuh dem niggas
Qué les puedo decir. Lo conozco de inicio a fin, un clásico que amo.
This album is just weird, in a good way. I feel like I'll have to do a Beatles album ranking when I'm through with all their stuff on this list. The starting run of "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" into "With A Little Help From My Friends" into "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is pretty great. The middle of the album feels a bit weaker, but is still good. The sitar on "Within You Without You" is very cool, and the back half of the album picks up again with "When I'm Sixty Four" being the standout in the back half for me.
Sgt. Pepper doesn’t really have a dud track - or atleast not one I noticed. Whilst I have favourite Beatles tracks that don’t appear here, I think this is possibly their most complete and well rounded album. Great stuff.
It seems weird that this used to top so many polls of the greatest album of all time when it's definitely not their best. Maybe you had to be there when it was first released to get the impact.
Amazing. I can't imagine how this felt at the time but even now it's a fantastic album
The only Beatles studio album in my shelves, and only the second time I've played it in full. 'A Day In The Life' is really good... that's all I have really. There's one or two tracks that reach a level amongst a lot of naff filler. Heard before ✅️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit 🫳 ★★★☆☆ (5/10) Total reviewed : 288 Already owned : 64 Purchased : 15 To buy : 3 Nope : 206
In my opinion this album is a masterpiece, as I find it fascinating with no skips and something that still holds up to this day. I can understand complaints people have for some of the songs in the middle of the album, but the first four songs are so good, and then to end with A Day in the Life and it's iconic final chord, make this album an absolute 5 for me.
sgt peppers lonely hearts club baaaaaaaaaand
Honestly I find the Beatles difficult. I don't know if its just my aversion to things that are overly praised or popular, or if they are just a bit too of their time (although I like lots of 60s stuff). I have to give this album credit though. Its hard not to like it just a little bit.
you cant pay me to listen to thgis
Is there much more to be said? Awesome!
One of the first albums I ever owned on vinyl, will always hold a special place in my heart
Yep!
I was familiar with a few of these tracks, but if I had ever listened through the whole album it was probably over 20 years ago. First thoughts: this is a great album. I know a lot of ink has been spent singing this album's praises already, and there's probably not much I can add that hasn't already been said. But I really enjoy how energetic it is right off the bat, and I think the pacing of this album is really masterfully done. Even the less well-known tracks are still engaging and innovative. The sitars on "Within You Without You" are just so cool. The concept is fun but not overbearing on the album. I just really don't have much to nitpick here. This is one of those times where I am frustrated by how much I am surrounded by corporate/advertising speech, because it feels difficult to describe something genuinely great without falling into cheap clichés. Favorite track(s): "Within You Without You," "With a Little Help From My Friends," "A Day in the Life"
Busted out my dad's old record for this one
Toll catchy
A proper album, but i am grading largely on how likely i am to re-listen to the whole thing. some hits in this, but also some filler
Not only has this list made me realise that The Rolling Stones most certainly aren't for me, it seems like I have to say the same about The Beatles. This sounds interesting to me on paper but in actuality just does very little for me.
Loved it. Such a unique sound
Morceaux ultra connus mais pas forcément ma came pour autant
Not my favourite album of theirs, but can imagine how insane this was when it came out
Bonàs vibras
What a band, what an album. Would be a 5/5 if not for within you without you.
This was pretty bad, even high.
absolutely love it, i have nothing to say
Good album, love Rubber Soul more.
Me gustó y son los Beatles. Pero no me mato y tampoco me pareció una obra de arte, esta aprobado 3 estrellas
I wasn't wowed by this, honestly. I hope I enjoy future Beatles albums more. It wasn't bad by any means, just not compelling to me and I didn't love the vocals.
Gammelt nytt. Psykedelisk rock i sin gullalder. Et legendarisk album. Top 3: A Day In The Life, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
I like the white album better but this is still decent
Revolutionary, but disjointed AF.
i lovee the beatles
En general me gustó bastante. Ya había escuchado este álbum hace tiempo, pero no le había prestado la atención que merecía. Como conclusión, no es de mis discos favoritos de los Beatles, pero tiene temas que realmente te ponen la piel de gallina, como cuando empieza “A Day in the Life”, o canciones con un ritmo y una letra súper pegadizos como “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”. A lo largo de la escucha se nota un estilo muy marcado en casi todas las canciones, y eso me gustó mucho. Aunque, por momentos, también hace que varios temas suenen algo parecidos entre sí, lo que termina haciendo que algunos destaquen más, sobre todo los que arrancan con un ritmo diferente. En general, le doy un 8/10.
Sgt Peppers is often hailed as the once of the best albums ever, Perhaps the best that the Beatles ever made. This is both an incredible testament to the Beatles as a music making unit that for something to be in the upper part of their discography is must also be one of the best albums ever made. It's also a wonderful example of how powerful good aesthetics are. Sgt Peppers invokes such specific imagery, the cover, the outfits. There are also absolute bangers on here. The album starts with three of them back to back. But from there you get into a meaty middle of songs that don't keep up with that opening crawl. A decent number of these ideas in the heart of this album are explored better on albums that either came before or after this in the Beatles discography. There are really only a few songs on this that essential even within the Beatles own music. But this albums benefits from those few songs being at the extreme ends of the album and packaged in an all out and very fun packaging. Don't misinterpret me as saying this is bad by any means, 3 is probably harsh, but the actual music here isn't the best the Beatles had for us and is pretty massivley overrates. TLDR, Revolver is much better.
great album for a monday morning in the office.
such a classic, i think its my dads favorite (?) Beatles album and that makes sense to me
Very good album, but the melodies are inconsistent. Revolver and Abbey Road are better in that regard. Sgt Pepper's reputation rests heavily on production innovation: Martin's orchestration, the tape loops, the varispeed vocals, the layered arrangements on tracks like "A Day in the Life" and "Lucy in the Sky." A lot of the album's canonical status comes from "this had never been done in a studio before" rather than "these are incredible songs on their own." If you strip the production, some tracks hold up fine as songs ("A Day in the Life," "With a Little Help from My Friends"), but others ("Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite," "Within You Without You") are much weaker as bare melodies and lean almost entirely on the studio treatment to be interesting. Great album, and innovation counts for something, but I listen to music because I enjoy the music, and half this album is more interesting to think about than it is to actually hear. The Beatles have better albums.
I was digging the beginning of this one but I think it got worse over the course of the album. 3 stars
Track one - 7/10 Track two - 8/10 Track three - 7.5/10 Track four - 5/10 Track Five - 9/10 Track Six - 10/10 Track Seven - 7.5/10 Track Eight - 4/10 Track Nine - 6/10 Track Ten - 7/10 Track Eleven - 5/10 Track Twelve - 7/10 Track Thirteen - 9/10 overall - 8/10 **wanted to give a detailed explanation, but its 1;30am lol**
Absolutely beautiful classical Indian sounds, especially in Within you without you, and came through in Getting Better. Such a fun snappy orchestral groove in this album. I'm just imagining how amazing it would be with this releasing as summer begins as a teenager in the 60's.
good album to listen to while enjoying a mafia game
Buen album, pero ni cerca el mejor de los Beatles. Conocia 6/13. Ninguna nueva. La mejor sin duda A day in the life. Temon 3 canciones fueron a la playlist.
I love The Beatles. So far they are my most listened to artist of 2026 with like 800+ streams. The truth is I’ve never really gotten Sgt Pepper. It has some amazing songs sure (all Beatles albums do) but as whole album it’s never been up there for me with stuff like Rubber Soul, Revolver, Abbey Road. I think this one in particular is such a “you had to be there” to truly get just how revolutionary it was. Because no mistake, it was revolutionary and it changed the music landscape. All in all, I love The Beatles but I think they have better albums. The fact that this is still a 5/5 is a testament to how great they really were.
Juguetón, experimental, variado
Rewriting the rules on what is possible. Again.
Good Friday? Sgt. Pepper just came up, so it’s a GREAT Friday! Cancel all plans, call in sick to work, here we go… As far as I can recall, Sgt. Pepper was the first Beatles album I owned. Well, proper album at least. I already had the Red and Blue compilation albums. But this was always the album that I’d picture in my head as the image that represents The Beatles. So, naturally it was the one of the first ones I wanted to listen to back when I was about 13 years old. I’ve been obsessed with the Beatles since then. For birthdays and Christmas every year, my family would buy me random books about the band: coffee table books of the lyrics with Yellow Submarine-esque phantasmagoric illustrations, biographies about the band members, stories behind every song recorded… I pretty much have a library of Beatles material now. You know that David Bennett quiz on YouTube where you have to identify the song from a clip that’s 2, 1 or a half a second long? Well, I score ridiculously well on Radiohead and The Beatles. Like, it’s scary how well I know these songs. I’ve spent too much of my teens (and later life) dissecting song meanings, who wrote what, which album was better, how they managed to do this, that or the other… To put it another way: I’m a big fan. So, what can I say about this absolute classic of an album? Well, let’s start with the cover. Possibly the best, and definitely the most recognisable, album art of all time. In the days before we had the answer to every single question we never even asked in our pockets, I’d study the cover to see who I could identify, and eagerly tell the stories you read about who was or wasn’t included (Jesus didn’t make the grade because of Lennon’s “bigger than…” comments, but Hitler is supposedly there, behind them because of Lennon’s mischievous side). What other album cover would cause so much discussion? Why did they include this person? Why is Bob Dylan in black and white? What’s with the props? Why is there a Shirley Temple doll wearing a “Welcome the Rolling Stones” jumper? It was a pop art collage masterpiece. The Beatles’ story is one of those that’s so interesting, you’d imagine it was written for a movie. Their evolution is fascinating: starting off as essentially a pop boy band (a very good one), who expanded their minds after discovering drugs, literature, politics and whatever else, and became the band that brought experimental music to the mainstream. All while writing some of the best songs in history. They'd started to get experimental already with Revolver, but Sgt. Pepper was the album where they brought their innovations in sound, structure and song-writing to a new level. It starts off as a concept album, but it’s like they forgot about the entire idea after the first two songs. The rest of the album is a concept only in the way that the songs are loosely tied together by musical theme (i.e. psychedelia). Let's get into the moments that make this such a special album. Warning: there are a lot! “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” absolutely rocks with a really great riff, sticky fuzz-toned guitar and some class guitar licks from George. Paul loves to tell the story of how Jimi Hendrix learned to play it, and added it as the opener to his set, only three days after it had been released, just so he could play it in front of Paul and George who were in attendance at his London gig. That’s a massive compliment for both Hendrix and The Beatles. Continuing the Sgt. Pepper concert theme for almost the last time, the crowd roars as Billy Shears is introduced for the brilliantly catchy “With A Little Help From My Friends”. We never hear what the names of the other band members were. 🤔 “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” is next. Let's just take a second to catch our breath. One of the all-time greats, and a truly unique song, with its droning tambura textures, the iconic riff of the Lowrey organ, and Paul's hopping bass. Time signatures and musical keys shift as Ringo's drum signals in the break-off to the catchy chorus. The lyrics are visual and trippy. Clearly taking inspiration from Lewis Carroll, you can vividly picture the psychedelic scenes thanks to how descriptive the verses are. In secondary school, we had an Irish teacher who used to go off on tangents about random things. I always remember him gushing on about how amazing it was that The Beatles used the words Lucy, Sky and Diamonds to spell out LSD. They've denied it, but I mean listen to the lyrics: it's clearly about an acid trip. Regardless, it's an amazing song. Paul's bass in “Getting Better” is SCARILY good. What he's doing in the verse is just incredible. George’s guitar tone and staccato style is class too. As are the vocal harmonies. The most interesting bit it though comes during the bridge, when the Indian textures of the tambura creeps into the background. “Fixing a Hole” is another good example of how they used interesting instrumentation in their songs at this point. The harpsichord keeps things fresh, and the guitar tones are again great. It really kicks off for the guitar solo too. “She's Leaving Home” is gorgeous. It's pure Paul. I love John's concurrent vocals in the background, especially at the end as he sings “bye bye”. Paul's vocal performance is worth calling out too. One of the all time great voices in music. Roll up, roll up, “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite” is next on the bill. It’s one of my all-time favorite songs. Seeing Paul perform it live in Manchester was a real bucket list item ticked off for me. John takes on the persona of the crazy circus ring master, introducing a surrealist selection of characters. “And of course, Henry the horse dances the waltz”. I’d imagine that's when the acid kicks in. The tape manipulation of the circus music is mind-bending stuff. It's incredible. Imagine hearing this for the first time in the 60s? I bet you’re glad we took a second to catch our breath earlier, because there’s no let-up. “Within You Without You” is next. Those Indian textures were lining each song so far, but here they're front and center. Hearing George do this type of music is amazing. His voice and melodic instincts work so well to bring Indian music to the mainstream. I love it. There's a proper psychedelic vibe to those sweeping sitar textures. It's no wonder it became the standard trope in movies to soundtrack 60s drug taking. I snuck into a lecture that was hosted in my college, where a group of music students were learning about The Beatles. They were talking about “When I’m Sixty Four”. My head nearly exploded when the tutor demonstrated how the band had pitch-shifted their voices up to sound younger. I'd heard that song so many times and never copped. Such a clever manipulation of form to augment the theme of the song. Genius. It's a kitschy song, but charming as hell. It’s hard to not love it. “Lovely Rita” is one of the more catchy and upbeat songs on the album. It’s the one you’d put on at a house party. I love the way it completely breaks apart at the end. “Good Morning Good Morning” is a head-spinner. I can tell you from experience, it makes for a terrible alarm clock. It’s terrifying waking up to the frenzied cacophony of sounds that comes after that rooster crow. It has an incredible guitar solo, though. That “sticky” lead playing that George introduced in “Taxman” works so well to lift the energy of the song. My dogs appreciated the animal sound-effects at the end of the song. Before we get to the last song on the album, we need to talk about “Strawberry Fields Forever”. Sure, it’s (inexplicably) not on this album, but it was recorded as part of these sessions, so I’m counting it as fitting here. It’s like a spiritual cousin to Sgt. Pepper. We’re talking about what is one of the best songs ever written. I’ve said that about “Lucy in the Sky” already, and I’ll say it again in a moment about “A Day in the Life”. That’s how good this album is. The Mellotron riff is iconic, the imagery conjured up by the lyrics are vivid, and the song is just perfect in every way. The fact that it’s two completely different takes, recorded at different tempos and keys, spliced together seamlessly is astonishing. George Martin deserves a massive standing ovation for his production editing skills. The drumming is particularly impressive. If anyone tries to throw out the stupid suggestion that Ringo wasn’t a good drummer, I simply point them towards “Strawberry Fields”. His drumming here is so inventive and clever, and it essentially changes the song as it progresses. Everything else about the song stays consistent, while Ringo’s drumming changes the dynamic over and over again. It’s phenomenal. Right, back to the album. They kind of brought the Sgt. Pepper concert theme back again with a reprise. It’s like they suddenly remembered it was supposed to be a concept album and threw in a closer to tick the box. The reprise sets us up for what is (again) one of the best songs ever written. The opening chords of “A Day in the Life” always bring chills. The lyrics are storytelling at its best, and it’s really just John reading somewhat fictionalised versions of news reports essentially. It works so well though at painting a picture, and building intrigue. Again Ringo’s drumming is such a key part of driving the song forward. The whole division of “John's part” and “Paul's part” is what makes this song so unbelievably good. Without warning an orchestra appears out of nowhere and starts rising and rising and rising. Holy fuck. Imagine hearing it for the first time not expecting it. It would have blown people's minds. And it goes right into Paul's bit. A jaunty piano and an alarm clock signals in one of the best moments in music. “I went upstairs and had a smoke, and somebody spoke and I went into a dream.” That was the line that got them banned from airplay. Then there’s the subtle, hazy segue back to John's part, which is just amazing. And that ending. The orchestra comes back with an even more ferocious rising movement until… That final chord. It's cinematic. Urg. There's only so much goosebumps you can take. Just when you think it’s all over, you have the “infinite” run-out of that ambient noise that sounds like something that came from the depths of hell. Call the priest for an exorcism, my record player is haunted by demons. All I hear is what sounds like someone singing the line “never could be any other way” over and over. I agree wholeheartedly.
At this time I’m not feeling Sgt Peppers as much as I used to. I think it’s too theatrical/goofy for me at times. As a whole it’s obviously an impressive accomplishment but I’m not reaching for this over Abbey Road or Revolver right now. A Day in the Life is still an all time fave.
I’m still not a huge Beatles fan, but this is one of their albums that I prefer slightly more. It sits somewhere between a 3 and 4 for me, but giving it 3 feels too low when an album was this influential.
I didn’t have time to listen to this yesterday but I had listened to it a couple months ago and i guess this feels like a good score for it
Classic record. Ahead of its time. Even the Rolling Stones tried to copy it in a poor attempt with “my satanic’s majesty’s request”. This record is a feat in production just as Brian Wilson’s Pet Sounds. A day in the life is one of the best tracks and closers of an album of all time!
i’m not even a huge beatles fan and this is a great record. so many amazing hits and i had a lot of fun listening to the less popular songs too. it just feels full and big and performancey and i like that it feels like something that’s bigger than me idk if that makes sense but :)
Obviously amazing.
The essence of the time, every bit as weird as it is rad
I've always loved this album and I always will.
This is my first full Beatles album listen. I expected the social commentary and pretentious production moments, but didn’t expect the more self reflective, and ‘couples’ focused tracks. The bolder songs such as Within You Without You did not resonate with me, but I was doing chores on indica so probably not the correct drug choice to properly appreciate that songs risks. Listening in 2026 also naturally renders the album less innovative, I can imagine it being significantly more immersive at the time. While I don’t think I’ll return to the album as a whole, the listening experience wasn’t negative and I liked a handful of tracks.
Absolutely brilliant
es como un esponteneo worship en la india, en medio de la calle.
One of the best albums ever made
If I could give more stars I would one of the greatest albums ever produced
Out of the 1089 albums on here this is one of the easier 5 stars I’ll give. Many years ago this was the first Beatles album I ever listened to in full. It turned them from that band my Granny likes to holy crap these guys are amazing. There’s not a track on here that I don’t love. The only thing that could improve it for me would be for Strawberry Fields to have been included. It is a Masterpiece. Top Track - With A Little Help From My Friends or Lovely Rita
What needs to be said about this album? Pitchfork: 10.0 Rolling Stone: Top 500 Albums #26 (2020) Best Songs (what songs do you leave off?) Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band With A Little Help From My Friends Getting Better Fixing A Hole She's Leaving Home A Day In The Life
Yeah really good, a bit whimsical in places but better than the White Album, not as good as Abbey Road.
This album could be simply "A Day in the Life" eight times on repeat and I would still be awarding five stars. But it obviously isn't, there's other songs, just not quite as good. Some of it is fluff, some are songs that had a huge impact on me growing up, one song is pretty awful (I'm looking at you "Mr Kite"). To be fair, even the fluff is ground-breaking in many ways, in instrumentation, lyrics, and musicality. When it gets good, it gets so good that it's almost unbearable. I would be foolish to give less than five stars to this epic album, with so many twists and turns over a dense forty minutes of pure bliss.
amazing
Tough one, I'm not a massive Beatles person. I don't hate it, and really like some of their stuff. This is not my favorite of their albums, despite it's undeniable groundbreaking sound and form. It starts and finishes so strong, but I just can't get into the meat of the album. Everything between "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and the title track reprise is just a little goofy. Some Beatle's music is timeless, but a lot of this isn't It's an album that one should listen to before dying, probably multiple times, but not my favorite. I've probably heard it enough by now. I can just listen to the good songs from now on. 4 stars, too much filler for me, as wild an argument as that is.
snnnzzz...
Reminds me of "Under Covers - Frank Popp Ensemble" featuring a song by whitey.
Surprised me. I thought the Beatles were not my cup of tea. Turnt out I just had to listen to them
an absolute classic
The amount of warmth and love this masterpiece of a record embraces you with is something only this band could ever achieve.
Otro clásico de la música a la bolsa, Sgt. Pepper's siempre es nombrado como uno de los mejores álbumes de la historia, sino es nombrado como el mejor, y se nota la influencia e importancia que tuvo para su época, pero a pesar de eso no me logró sorprender tanto como esperaba, y supongo que es porque ya sabía que se vende mucho humo con este álbum, y no es por desmerecerlo, la gran mayoría de los temas son muy buenos y otros son increíbles (A day in the life), pero al dejar el concepto inicial de lado y quedarse corto en lo innovador teniendo a obras mucho más experimentales incluso en el mismo año (la velvet) creo que la calificación de muy bueno le queda pintado.
Simply an amazing album. This album was revolutionary for its time and it still sounds timeless today. After the experimentation on Revolver, they went ham on the experimentation on this album. Every song is bursting with orchestras, vivid lyrics and of course, that production. A Day In The Life is one of the greatest songs ever made. The ending with the chaotic orchestral build-up to 1 second of silence and that glorious piano chord that is stretched for who knows how long. Simply exquisite. Highlights Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band With A Little Help From My Friends Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds Getting Better She's Leaving Home Within You Without You When I'm Sixty-Four A Day In The Life
One word: MAGIC!
Really debated between a 3 or 4 here, but will go with a 4 due to it's historical significance and impact to music. It's a good album with a bunch of good songs, a nice variety and a cohesive concept. But its not my favourite Beatles project and there's some meh tracks along the way.
6/10 on the first listen, some interesting songs
Pfft.
I am not one of those crazy Beatles fans and honestly think this album is overrated. I said what I said.
Overrated band and album. I've been listening to Led Zeppelin non-stop for the last several weeks, and I think I've been spoiled with Robert Plant's phenomenal vocals. In comparison, the Beatles sound mediocre, and remind me of chipmunks. I couldn't wait for this album to be over. I do not understand the hype, and I find the melodies and vocals to be quite basic. Just not for me. Less Beatles please.

Liked the titular song and most of it really. Good listen, I was listening to the remastered version though. I can see how it was a huge influence for decades after.
A bit short but a wonderful album
The Beatles just had the sauce. Extremely well written songs, and very progressive and experimental for its time. I love this album, though it does sound dated. There’s been nearly 60 years of evolution in the rock and roll genre, so it’s not the album’s fault.
music is love
On est pas loin du sans faute. Très, très, très bon album. Que des bons sons, je comprends la réputation des Beatles. Il mange un 5.
Very good, but It didn't have Eleanor Rigby, we all live in a yellow submarine, or some other classics. definitely loved the album and they're the beatles for a reason. But I can't give it a 5.
5… don’t need to say anything else.
It's one of the most beloved Beatles albums. And I think its reputation is deserved. Does it hold up as strongly in 2026, after so many decades of music influenced by it? Maybe not. I didn't grow up with the Beatles. And despite buying the iTunes complete collection when it came out, the Beatles never really made it into my regular rotation. But damn, compared to the rest of the 60s albums I’ve listened to, this must have been a revelation! And it’s still extremely listenable today! I can’t ignore that. 8/10 Most Excellent (As an aside, it’s funny to watch the consistency in the arguments about the Beatles on the Internet. The same fight between the folks who claim “The Beatles are sacred! All their songs must be 10/10!” and those who say they’re overrated, happens here and over on Radio Paradise. Some things never change!)
Brilliant album Madonna reinvents herself yet again
This is my 3rd favourite Beatles album, there’s much of it I love, some though I really don’t, but. Great album never the less.
5/5
I get it’s a classic but just meh
Совсем мимо кассы. Ни одна песня не понравилась
A favorite
They could stand to be a bit more innovative
overrated
Abbey road better
bardziej zywe, za radosne, po polowie srednie piosenki, niektore byly ok
The biblbes.... I'm not new to the Bilis, but GOSH I needed this album. Each song is just such a banger, I knew some of them but I had ignored they came from this album. Lucy in the sky with diamonds will always be peak music imo, but you can say that about all the other songs from this album. Another thing is that I was listening to this album so chilling, when I got jumpscared by that song by John Lemon about beating his wife.
Wonderful classic, this one you have to listen to before each new month ends.
Fun listen, felt like it flew by! I've heard a lot of weird music in this giant albums collection, and this one sometimes falls under the category of "silly" weird if that makes sense. I'd be curious to go through this another few times and pick apart what's going on from track to track; it's difficult to pin that down in a first listen. This was a pleasant experience!
Top 5 Albums of all time
Iconic. When I started this album journey, I expected every album to be like this. I now appreciate the actual best albums even more.
I hadn’t listened to the whole album in a long time. Masterpiece
The Sgt Pepper uniform stays ON
Really cool to listen to the full album, there were so many songs I hadn’t heard before. Some kinda weird ones but even those sounded pretty good
Heyyy Beatles and heyyy Bee Gees and heyyy Peter Frampton I love you
How do you evaluate an album that changed music forever?
4 1/2 Stars: All these years I thought this was a kooky mish-mash of sounds and noises, and to my surprise actually sitting down to listen to Sgt. Pepper's it's a pretty standard record with great hits and lyrics and fun and the shifting music types isn't as jarring as I was expecting. Another hit record for one of the greats!
One of my favorite Beatles albums but not quite a 5 for me. Couple songs get a little too weird and are misses. Fave songs: LSD, she’s leaving home, a day in the life
Generational album
I'm not really sure how to rate this one. Is it my favorite Beatles album? No, in fact, I sometimes don't get the hype for this one. It's a concept album with only a hint of a concept. Yet, I understand it's importance and think it deserves higher than a 4.
One of the greatest of all time, no notes.
One of the most revolutionary albums ever. What more can I say?
Now we're talking...
This review is for the 2009 remastered because it's the only version I could find that doesn't include the outtakes. The Beatles are one of the most overrated bands of all time. Most of the vocal performances are either annoying or corny. The instrumentals are better, but they still sound corny on several tracks. The only decent track was "Fixing a Hole".
After 3 albums it’s safe to say The Beatles are actually good. I am now a reformed Beatles hater.
From the very first note, this is a masterpiece. One of my top ten favorite albums of all time, and probably objectively one of the greatest albums of all time. Love all of the tracks and it gets better each time I listen to it. Highlights: All of it.
kında yesılcam muzıgı ama ok
20/03/26 uma das melhores capas existentes tentei ouvir esse uma vez e não gostei do início agora foi, só que tem coisas aqui que eu gosto muito e outras que eu acho uma merda a primeira é as letras e a atmosfera drogas e circo, não tem sentido pra mim a sonoridade meio psicodélica colagem é o que eu gosto, quando não tem elementos circenses, embora eu tenha um pequeno problema com muitas músicas dos beatles parecerem iguais isso com revolver, e nesse álbum tbm - os que diferenciam mais para mim são rubber soul e abbey road obviamente a primeira faixa é foda porque ela se mantém constante, com vocais interessantes para os instrumental with a little help from my friends igualmente Lucy in the sky with diamonds é o melhor LSD que eles poderiam ter usado, porque ficou bom, uma das melhores deles - o John Lennon high pitched é insano que nem em getting better, a guitarra martela demais, e se sobressai um pouco e o John Lennon falando que costumava ser cruel com a mulher sendo que ele deixou ela passando fome pela Yoko Ono é uma hipocrisia do cacete a melodia de fixing a hole é sem graça, a guitarra solo é bacaninha sinto que a atmosfera narrativa de espetáculo das duas primeiras músicas foi deixada de lado, desfocou algo com potencial she’s leaving home é interessantemente orquestral, combina com a melancolia, mas sai totalmente do clima rock do álbum - de certa forma funciona como quebra de expectativa e não enjoa voltou o clima de espetáculo em terceira pessoa no mr.kite, os vocais e o instrumental meio fúnebre é peculiar esse solo todo órgão foi legal within you without you totalmente George Harrison, mas chata e sonoramente poluída - solo de sitar interessante, mas se enrola de forma igual a uma música de revolver que tem essa sonoridade essas risadas do nada when I’m sixty four toda silly, seria mais bonitinha se não fosse a merda viva do John Lennon, nem chegou aos sessenta e quatro (desculpa) Lovely Rita tinha potencial, mas é só mais uma eles tem certa obsessão em falar de mulheres que parecem mais masculinas, para mim isso aí tem nome essas arfadas e gemidos psicodélicos GOOD MORNING KANYE WEST REFERENCE???? (odeio ele pra deixar claro) esse kazoo estourado, a música inteira é caótica demais, mal montada e fica chata um solo insano, a bateria dessa salva um pouco esses barulhos de animal wtf narrativo completamente desperdiçado esse beat de hiphop na penúltima ficou foda, foi um reaproveitamento inteligente e encerra a narrativa de espetáculo de forma interessante (embora ele esteja implícito até demais por boa parte do álbum) a day in the life é instável de um jeito bom, os vocais são fodas e os drums fills também (a música se mantém nessa base de um jeito interessante) as partes de psicodelia são interessantes, distoantes e intrusivas o clima da música vai mudando a cada parte psicodélica, se mantendo animada mas cada vez mais etérea o final é o ápice esses 40 segundos de grave baixo, estática com um loop de padrão sonoro de fala aleatório para encerrar é de fuder não é aquele álbum que eu acabo e sinto que wow mudou minha vida, é mais um álbum aclamado de época dos beatles, que introduziu certa psicodelia artística e sonora em um projeto meio inconstante (revolver também se enquadra nessa definição, embora eu ache ele um pouco mais atraente visual e sonoramente) daria 7/10, pra fins de avaliação dou 6
Hugely influential and instantly recognizable. Never owned the album myself, but I've heard every track many times. And I think the entire album as a whole more than once as well.
Classic.
Fun and energetic album
I actually enjoyed this album to my surprise, I usually don’t enjoy old albums.
No skip. Everything's a banger.
Love love love
послушала 1 песню, но битлз мне вроде как нравятся так что 5
It’s The Beatles Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. What other score was it gonna get. 5/5 ⭐️ 74/1089
Frickin’ awesome! A classic.
Weirdly despite quite liking the Beatles, I'd never really given this album much of a listen. And for whatever reason I find myself quite muted on it. There are tracks here I really like - particularly Within You Without You - but this definitely feels like the weaker of the band's golden era records that I've listened to so far.
Was listen to the name cover alubjm of this from years ago classic album fun and inventive
I discovered this album right when it turned 25, in the middle of the grunge explosion. Magnificent, solid, and meant to be listened to in its entirety. It has become a part of my life
This album and I are exactly the same age and it’s one I’ve heard from beginning to end my whole life. I can’t imagine a world without the influence of Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. A masterpiece .
Overrated
Fabulous
Biitlid jõudsid natuke seeni võtta ja india kultuuri kogeda. Tulemuseks plaat, kus on küll häid lugusid peal ja 3-5 väga tugevat pala, aga vahepeal on album pigem taustamuusika. 1967. a kohta ikka vägev muusika. 3.8/5
I went in open minded. I have always found the Beatles annoying and just never got them. Fully appreciate what they done and understand the cultural significance that they have. But i found this just like a child's drawing where they found instruments unique to other cultures and threw them in to sound quirky. Again, i understand that this was the first time it was done so get the hype, but just not for me
C'est pas le meilleur je trouve
I mean it's a classic, and opened up pop music, and transformed rock and all. So of course, 5 stars. But honestly, there is a stretch of songs on this record I always want to skip: She's Leaving Home, Mr Kite, Within You Without You range from okay to annoying. There are very high highs, but, well, but...
Classic. So good to revisit. Led to a deep dive of YouTube videos on the production.
Not even my favorite Beatles album, but I haven’t listened to it in many years and realized anew its formidable qualities and powerful influence, though formidable is not quite the right word for a group of songs that sounds so psychedelic, so melancholy, and occasionally so jaunty.
duh
nothing is left unsaid about this album. though i could say i used to love and praise this album way more when i wasn't listening to much music in general.
It's impossible to separate this album from its historical importance; however, historical importance is not something I generally think about when judging whether or not an album is enjoyable to listen to. So, I take this exactly as I would any other album, at face value. The next thing I have to say is that although I love the Beatles and many of their songs, I'm not sure any of their albums would be in my top 100. Although I've never broken it down to "John" songs and "Paul" songs (and George songs and Ringo songs), I suspect it's because I don't like the unabashedly poppy songwriting of Paul McCartney (although he is a great player). I don't take any joy in pitting the members against each other; after all, it takes all four to make the final product and they all ostensibly agreed as to what the band's output would sound like. But it must be said. Now, with all of that out of the way, the album. I don't normally go song by song, but— in my opinion, the following songs are good but nothing special: Getting Better, Fixing a Hole, She's Leaving Home, Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!, and Lovely Rita. The rest of the songs are all great (good job, lads) and Within You Without You is easily my favorite track on the album. Cheers and good night.
8.0/10 Some classic Beatles tunes on this one
Pre-Listening Notes: SGT PEPPER'S LLLLLLLLFFFFGGGGG!!!!! Fair warning/context for my review, this was my favorite album when I was in high school, and the first vinyl record I ever owned. I have little doubt it will still hold up! Mid Listening Notes: This album is really just heater after heater after heater omfg. Is "A Day In the Life" the greatest pop song ever written? Post Listening Notes/Review: I mean... come on... its not only the Beatles, its sgt. Pepper's! I can understand why someone might not like this as much as me, but to give this album anything less than a 4/5 is contrarian B.S. 5/5; ABSOLUTELY must listen to before you die!
IDONTREALLYWANNASTOPTHESHOW
Sgt. Pepper's foi o "primeiro disco da minha vida". Não só no quesito de compra, mas também o que eu tenho a primeira lembrança de escutar de inicio ao fim. Obviamente fiquei assustado com a ideia de como funciona um disco e principalmente pela ambição de ter conceito. Consegui adquirir em um momento injusto, vamos dizer assim. Comprei o CD, junto ao box comemorativo de 50 anos, como uma forma de acalentar o coração por não ir ao Show do Paul McCartney. Apesar de triste, tornou-se um dos melhores discos que eu ouvi na minha vida, e por muito tempo foi o meu disco favorito. Acho que foi aqui que minha mente transcendeu. O inicio Sgt. Peppers/Little Help/Lucy é tão fantástico. a transição, tudo me emociona. Depois temos She's Leaving Home, impossível não chorar. E o encerramento com A Day In The Life é tudo que precisávamos. Sempre fico chocado com a troca de vocal entre Paul e John. O maior erro aqui foi não ter Penny Lane e Strawberry Fields, seria inquestionavel como melhor disco. Engraçado como esse disco veio no momento em que eu saí da fase "amor e ie ie ie" e comecei a ter Consciência sobre o mundo. Era uma criança estranha, mas fui feliz!! Queria conseguir escrever mais, mas esses quatro rapazes fazem parte da minha vida faz tanto tempo que escrever sobre eles ficou banal, e qualquer dedicação acaba sumindo. É incrível, mágico e merece toda reverência por ter revolucionado a música.
Não há muito o que eu possa falar sobre esse álbum que não seja apenas elogiá-lo! Certamente foi o álbum que tive mais dúvida em qual nota atribuir porque eu não acho que ele seja o melhor dos álbuns dos Beatles, ao mesmo tempo que reconheço que ele é muito bom - mais uma vez, reclamo de não termos notas quebradas. Within You Without You e A Day In The Life pesaram para que a nota seja 5. 4,5/5.
Um album que foi revolucionário, com toda a genialidade dos Beatles a flor da pele. 4.75/5
Some seminal albums just don’t pass the test of time and stay relevant - this is not one of those albums. Still fresh and enjoyable.
What else can I add that hasn’t been said already. An obvious 5. Not my favourite of their albums but I love it every time it’s on. Amazing how one album has the power to change the course of popular music.
Might be the most British sounding album I have ever listened to. Enjoying it a lot tho, its fun and weird and Im here for it. If I were to smoke weed and/or do shrooms I would do it while listening to this album. 8.5/10
Iconic phicadellic album by the beatles. Timelss music that will be with us for next 1000 years.
Still one of the greatest records ever, ground breaking and deeply influential for the generations to come. It's always a joy to listen once again
Not my go-to favorite Beatles album, but definitely a classic, paving the way for many more great albums from many more great artists to come
I'm not usually massive fan of Beatles albums, but this was OK. Lots of stuff I knew, not too long, not too odd, and not too much filler. I guess that it's my favourite Beatles album from this project so far.
A banger. 5*
Better x
It has some great moments (a day in the life is magnificent). However, there are some songs which are just a bit basic (a little help, when I’m 64), which no amount of clever production and harmony can cover. It feels like a bit of a regression after Revolver.
Helpful to have listened to this relatively soon after Revolver. There are some excellent moments on this too (‘she’s leaving home’ and ‘within you, without you’ stood out for me this listen) but also some slightlier twee numbers that killed the mood a little for me. Still, must have been hugely ambitious at the time and crams a lot in over its 40 minute span.
pretty catchy, but not my favorite Beatles album
Not my favourite of theirs. Mr Kite, Within You and especially When I'm 64 is a rough stretch. But it's still got to be a 5 for A Day in the Life, one of the all timers.
Funny how time changes perception. I used to agree that this was one of the most creative and groundbreaking albums of all time, and that made it a masterpiece. Now I'm not so sure about the masterpiece part, although it remains incredibly original and genre-breaking. Listening to the Beatles' whole catalog straight through, it's obvious that they became better and better songwriters. At the same time, their albums become less and less coherent products of a band, and more collections of songs by individuals working independently. Sgt Pepper is the album where the coherent band starts to come apart. Lots of good and original songs, but as an album it's kind of broad and random. Good on the Beatles for doing whatever they wanted, but they don't effectively tie it together, the whole Sgt Pepper conceit notwithstanding.
Entretenido y tiene ritmos diferente, fui con pocas expectativas y me sorprendió.
It may not be my absolute Beatles favorite but its close
It’s one of the albums that introduced me to music and it manages to hold up on every listen. It’s always a 5 to me.
Underbart underligt.
Man måste inte välja, men pistol mot huvudet är det här mitt favoritalbum med Beatles. Bästa 2:30-låten någonsin: fixing a hole. Betyg: 6/5
fakta: alla beatleshaters älskar det här albumet
Inte en solklar femma men känns å andra sidan som att jag kan lyssna på denna många, många gånger till. Spretigt på ett bra sätt.
What a fun album, full of amazing songs. 5/5
Cannot deny the influence and the weirdness, even if it's a bit overwhelming at points
Pretty much unbeatable
Few albums are pure art. This is one of them. The transition between Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and With a Little Help From My Friends gives me chills every time.
Yep it's very good. Love the variety of the songs and not knowing what to expect. Not really any duds on the album which is one of my criteria for a 5 so I think it deserves it.
The Beatles make a record with only two songs that annoy me to death (Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! and Within You Without You). Still a 5 star, though a lower 5 star.
As a concept album, kind of weak, but as a collection of songs that were ahead of their time, one of the best albums made. The first two track, a brilliant opening to the concept but nothing else until The next to last track. Lucy in the Sky was one of my favorite songs way back when. Getting Better, Fixing and Hole and Mr Kite could be considered fillers except the vocal techniques and studio as another instrument make them great. She's Leaving Home is like good literature packed in to 3 1/2 minutes. When side two opens with Within You it sounds like nothing ever heard. When I'm 64, Lovely Rita are again exceptional story telling. When I was young a progressive FM station started every morning with Good Morning. It was fantastic. A day in the Life is another great song as literature. Add one of the coolest album jackets in history and this is the watershed album of the 60's.
Yeah yeah we get it they’re good I guess
Weirdly good
this shit is soooooo goood reading the names of the songs thought they sounded weird but the weirder the name the better the song.
I love this album. I don't care what year it is, it sounds GREAT.
Golden era Beatles.
2.5/5 A few good songs and some not so good songs. I'm sure I would have loved this if I was alive when it came out but now it's just an ok album.
fave song: when i'm sixty four vibe: not my fave beatles album (revolver fancam) but solid and foundational, resident of the intersection of mom and dad music rating: 66/100
My favorite Beatles album, which is a popular opinion. One of the few non-CCM albums in my house growing up. I also saw the movie starring the Bee Gees and I really liked it, which is an unpopular opinion.
I can see how this is a classic. LUCY IN THE SKYYY WITH DIAMONDSSS!
Can’t believe how many people think this is the best Beatles album. Too much novelty shit like When I’m 64 and Good Morning Good Morning. Does however say a lot for The Beatles that this is only their 5th best album and it still scores a 4/5
vintage vibes, makes anybody move, good mood, harmonies oml
estudar matematica com essa soundtrack te faz entrar em um flow state insano
This is almost a perfect album, love the concept of doing a "live" album format and the experimentation is top notch throughout. They give you lots of variety in the songs and the songwriting is stellar. Even the lowest rated song, Good Morning Good Morning, is a great tune. The hits just keep coming with a few of my all time favorite Beatles songs all packed into this album like She's Leaving Home, When I'm 64, and Day in the Life one of the all time great closers.
Surprisingly captivated! Listened at work so a little choppy. The critiques from lower reviews I've read seem valid, but it was incredible to listen and understand how directly this album influenced music for decades come. Very fun, doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. Favorite Song: Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Overrated shit
5 stars. No notes.
6/10: Buen descubrimiento para entrar en el mundo de Los Beatles y seguir investigando
An overall enjoyable collection of psychedelic sounds and melodies. The composition shines more than anything else on this album. The songs flow nicely into one another, making it an alright listen - especially the first half. The intro, in particular, grabbed me. That said, the album never truly moved me. I suppose I will try again some day, but as a whole it didn't manage to convert me into a Beatles fan. I have tried multiple times, and while I fully recognize how their legacy shaped music, I can't say they are among my personal favorites. The best tracks for me were "With a Little Help From My Friends" and "Within You Without You".
I enjoy The Beatles and they fit perfectly in the concept of like discovering new music to listen to so like list like this and like doing a history and rock ‘n’ roll class talking about The Beatles is a must I definitely enjoy Sergeant Pepper’s lonely heart club band. Depending on the day you listen it might drag you down to a four, but I think it deserves a five. When you listen to them in moderation, you can really appreciate the Beatles for what they did. They’re not a daily rotation for me but every time there’s a chance to revisit them for like stuff like this, I will take it great job I did enjoy the show and it reminds me to come back to Sergeant Pepper, Lonelyhearts club band more often. It’s a record. I definitely wouldn’t mind owning.
One of the best albums of all time, and easily my favorite Beatles album.
Rapid rating based on the track listing and the shit ton of Beatles I listened to way back in the day. Solid theme album, with their best song period at the end. Not quite a high end Zep or Floyd 5, but a 5 nonetheless.
This album has been in my rotation for years. It really is amazing. It might not be the most accessible Beatles album, but it is very rewarding with repeated listens. The songs themselves are great, but the complexity of subtle layers is what really puts this over the top. I will continue to listen to this regularly.
Forever Beatles!
Очень крутой концептуальный альбом и очень интересный для имиджа битлов в общем
Phenomenal. i rlly like these songs, especially day in the life.
Beatles classic! Love it!
I mean, c’mon…
3.5
Super album des Beatles, pas mon préféré cependant. Tout au long de l'album, nous passons d'ambiance à ambiance différentes. Les sonorités indiennes des morceaux fonctionnent très bien avec le style "Beatles". Album très sympathique. Note : 4 À réécouter : Oui
Odio darle 5 estrellas
I get why the beetles are so good, I just don't like their music that much, at least this album
This album is an easy 5 stars; anyone taking a different approach is just being edgy and contrary for “reasons.”The final song is one of the greatest pop songs ever recorded and ends with THAT chord - a chord so iconic it has its own liner notes. Bravo. Favorite song (maybe ever): A Day in the Life 5⭐️
I like this, very cool. Lots of funky tunes
The Best album
I used to love this album when I was younger. Not as into in now. Clearly fantastically made, written and produced though.
I mean, where do I start? This album is one of the all-time greats, every song is unique and individual, yet it still feels well composed. Every song sounded better than I remembered I need to listen to this album more. So deeply nostalgic, " Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds " gave me a visceral reaction. I have no notes; it doesn't get much better than this.
Album Review 077 Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles (1967) Rating 4.5/5 Sgt. Pepper’s was a huge part of my musical upbringing/education and it is undoubtedly an “album you must hear before you die”. It’s one of the most important albums ever made, by one of the most important bands ever, and has some of their best work (A Day In The Life, Lucy In The Sky…, Within You Without You). Looking as this as a single full piece of work, there are a few tracks that are really not essential listening (putting it politely) and looking back 60 years later come across as filler (Good morning, Lovely Rita, …Sitxy-Four). However, this is an album that is far more than the sum of its parts.
Classic Beatles. Ticks every box. Lucy in the sky, She's leaving home...
sólido 7/10 no soy muy fanática de los Beatles pero me gustó más de lo que pensaba
Iconic with a heaping of nostalgia.
I just don’t get it. I’m sure at the time this was incredible. It it aged as well as milk from 1967. Overall in a modern context is uninspired and rather traditional which considering it defined pop rock for the rest of time isn’t surprising. The ability for a band to entirely reinvent their sound and develop their style really is what I feel this album contributes to music.
Love the eclecticism; interesting lyrics spanning a variety of topics
Liked it somewhat. Just not my type
the truth is that i'm just not a crazy huge beatles fan. SORRY. pleasant to listen to but not an album i'd seek out. lovely rita was my favorite
solid and fun listen for the first time digging into the beatles. i really liked a day in the life, she's leaving home, and lucy in the sky with diamonds (fave).
I like this one for its softness and easy listening. There's a lot of classics here, but I'll be honest I think nostalgia has a big effect on this one for me. I wonder if I would like this album the same if I had not grown up around it. Positives: A lot of the instrument choices on this one are still refreshing to this day. The arrangements are still very unique and layered nicely. Negatives: I don't really find myself attaching strong emotions to many of these songs, save a couple. Favourite song upon listening: She's Leaving Home Started/Finished: 1am 24/02/2026 - 2am 24/02/2026 (single listen) Did I grow up with this one: yes Number of albums reviewed: 1 (including this one) 1 is bad, 2 is not for me, 3 is good, 4 is great, 5 is legendary ~ My music buff family made a music buff of me ~
As I approach my 300th review, this might be the most conflicted I've been on a rating yet. I love the Beatles. I do not think they are overrated in the slightest and every album of theirs is pure gold. So why not jump to a 5-star rating and get it over with? To me, Sgt. Pepper's might be the most overrated Beatles album. When Rolling Stone released their most recent top 500 albums of all time list and this was at #1, I couldn't believe it. Is it a great album? Yes, of course, but it's not even the best Beatles album (that honor goes to Abbey Road in my opinion). When I review an album that I'm intimately familiar with, I can't help but read the reviews on this site. Heck, I do that with most albums on here but not usually until after I've already formed my own opinion. In this particular case, I was surprised to find myself agreeing with most criticisms of it. 1) It's tonally discordant and strangely disorganized...I feel similarly about the White Album but at least that has the excuse of being a double album. To get a better sense of this just read the top review on this site that opens with the idea of coming into this album "cold" 2) This album gets too much credit for being innovative (both for music at the time and for the Beatles' original sound). Reading up on it, yes it's groundbreaking, and that alone makes it worth of this list...I've listened to albums that are complete garbage on here but changed the game...this one is at least filled with songs that, on their own, are great. 3) There's a couple "misses" in my opinion that make it fall just short of a perfect album But, if I'm being honest, I get to the end, "Day in the Life" has played out and I'm blown away as always, and I can't help but rate this Beatles album like the rest: 5 out of 5.
New to this. The machine has chosen this for day one. Nothing I can say about this album that hasn't been said a million times over. Still sounds revolutionary nearly 60 years later
Sounds like I am at a carnival in a fever dream.
No a big beatles fan but its great
Relatively good album 2/3 really good songs
This album was difficult for me to rate, both because it’s the first album we got and because the reputation and impact of the Beatles is often better than their music itself. I love the exciting, rock tones in some of the songs but overall feel that other than the notoriety, many of the songs are a little… milquetoast. Season: Late Spring Favorite Song: Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Best album ever, period
Es el primer álbum que escucho entero de los Beatles porque no son una banda que escuche gustosa. Es innegable que el álbum es impecable de principio a fin, tiene unas transiciones increíbles y cada canción construye un universo sonoro que transporta, sin embargo son contadas con los dedos de una mano las canciones de esta banda que me gustan lo suficiente para tener en una playlist y escuchar diariamente. Este álbum lo confirma, pensé que no me gustaban los Beatles porque nunca les había dado una verdadera oportunidad, pero después de esta escucha son pocas las canciones que me quedan dando vueltas en la cabeza, aunque cada vez que empezaba a sonar una me parecía una obra de arte. Siempre fui crítica del dicho popular de que los Beatles inventaron la música, porque me parece que en su época había bandas iguales o mejores, pero escuchando este álbum pude detectar al menos 5 canciones que me recordaron a canciones posteriores todas de géneros diferentes. Ahí radica el mito de los Beatles, son una gran banda para admirar y absorber. Mis canciones favoritas del álbum: 1. Within you without you 2. She’s leaving home 3. Lovely Rita 4. A day in the life
Didn't need to listen, album of my childhood. A true classic.
meh
Amazing album, way way ahead of its time.
This was the first full album that I’ve listened to by the Beatles, and it did not disappoint. It’s smooth, relaxing yet enrapturing melodies created a series of really nice songs. This isn’t really my favorite genre, which is probably why I still didn’t like it as much as most, but even I really liked this album.
It's rare that an album makes me change my score on a different album, but I think I might go back and give Rubber Soul a 5 star rating after this. I was sort of saving the 5 star for this album, but frankly this is a perfectly solid, mid to high 4. Some great tracks, some mediocre tracks, a decent concept, but not much that blew me away. Favorite Track: A Day in the Life
8/10
Getting Best
Album 1057 of 1089 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band- Beatles (1967) Rating : 5 / 5 Nine out of ten Kevins agree that starting your day at 4:45 a.m. with this album is highly recommended. What can I really say about this one that hasn’t already been said? It’s one of those albums that has been analyzed, praised, debated, and enshrined so thoroughly that adding to the historical commentary feels unnecessary. We all know its place. We all know what it did. We all know how it changed things. But sometimes it’s not about the history lesson. It’s about the listen. From beginning to end, it’s just a remarkable experience. The flow, the personality, the imagination; it never drags and never feels small. It’s colorful without being chaotic, ambitious without losing its charm. Every track feels intentional, and even the lighter moments carry weight. I could go on about the shift in direction for the band, the influence on everyone who followed, the studio experimentation , but that ground has been covered. All I can really add is this: I liked it a lot. I always have. I always will. Some albums feel historic. This one just feels timeless.
oh my gosh is that an album cover?! nyuhhhhh uhhh so good
Between this and Abbey Road, these are my favorite Beatles albums. They tick a lot of the right boxes for me, musically diverse, from psychedelia and dreamy sounds to punchy, rock-driven songs. I also really like the idea of making a concept album, with a conceptual band delivering it, though it seems they gave up on that idea after the second song and just went into making tracks. Overall, it feels more daring than Revolver, playing around with a wider variety of sounds and styles, and seeing just how much you can get out of a record. The song that really sticks out is the last one 'A day in the life' where they basically stuck 2 unfinished songs together, but as a way to transitioned it with a growing ochestral noise, which should be unpleasant but it ties the two ideas together beautifully I think the thing that always impresses me about the Beatles, especially on these later albums, is the production techniques they used, basically invented by George Martin and co., which make them still sound very contemporary, even 60 years later.
undeniable
Soft 5. Banger start, middling mid, good ending.
