Not a massive fan, I like the Beatles but wouldn’t choose to listen to this album
Ah, enfin quelque chose d’excellent ! Cet album, je l’adore, il est audacieux, créatif, il part dans plein de directions, il est parfait. Ce sera mon premier album noté 5 étoiles.
Way wierder than i remembered. Has classics though.
Tolles und kurzweiliges Album mit Welthits wie „Lucy in the Sky with diamonds“ & „Whith A Little Help from My Friends“ & „When I’m Sixry Four“. Die Zeit war Cool in Liverpool 😊.
Another strong release from The Beatles. There’s a lot of creativity on display, with several truly classic tracks. My least favourite is probably Within You Without You — not a bad song by any means, but it does come across as a bit pretentious and drags on longer than it needs to.
I can't believe this is the first Beatles' album I listen to, it's quite shameful. I liked it very much, I loved the intro song. I do think I got bored at one point though.
Cool
Once it was this, now its still revolver I think, or pet sounds for the try-hards. This one really does work as a concept, though I can't see how the sitar one or numerous others actually fit, the listening experience certainly does. I probably would only listen to some of these songs in this context though...
When I was young, I didn't care for this album when it first came out as it was so different than what I was used to from the Beatles. As I'm older now, there are several songs which I can appreciate. Best song: "When I'm 64" and worst song: "Within You, Without You" as those sitars were making my back teeth ache.
I love Sgt Peppers, but I will admit it can be a bit overrated. Like so many good songs like Lucy in the Sky and a day in the life, but also just a bunch of skips like good morning and when I’m 64 A good album, a great album, but not their best
Arguably one of the best albums ever.
Solid album, you can't go wrong with the Beatles.
Everything was great with the exception of Getting Better! Didn’t love the lyrics, and think Lennon should’ve kept some of that to himself.
Fire!!!
Not a fan of this album. Wasn’t my thing
10/10 no notes
I can certainly appreciate is, but it honestly didn't give me much. I like the vibe and overall feel. It sort of blended into one big piece, which is I guess by design as a concept album. Definitely worth listening to overall.
Perfect album.
Best of the Beatles albums, I think 🤔
Drugs.
Now we’re getting somewhere. I’ve obviously heard Sgt. Pepper’s many times, but I wouldn’t say this is an album I’ve heard more the 8-10 times. As I sit at my desk listening to at least the first several songs, it hit me, these songs don’t represent rock ‘n’ roll or psychedelic songs. They come across as songs that have been around since the beginning of time, that parents pass on to their child generation after generation. Timeless is an appropriate word, but also, they are harmless songs that can teach you something about how you might want to live your life. Like all the songs you sang with your parents as a very little child. Mary Had a Little Lamb is trash compared to Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds. I’d much rather hear Getting Better than Ba, Ba, Black Sheep. And these Beatles songs sound like those types of songs. Am I the only one that the Beatles, or at least Sgt. Pepper’s, hits this way? It’s like these songs have permeated the fabric of our lives. We know these songs without knowing them. I love the Rolling Stones, they’re probably my all-time favorite band, but the Beatles are on another level. Oh, wow, I just realized She’s Leaving Home is on this album. You might not know this song as well as the hits, but for my money, it’s a top 5 Beatles song. It captures the feelings of both a teenage girl and her parents. The girl longs to leave home and live on her own, but is still a little scared to be on her own. Her parents are angry at her for leaving after all they’ve done for her and they also fear what will happen to her. This one gets me, like get the Kleenexes. As for one critique, I hate the sitar, or at least how everyone picked up the sitar after the Beatles introduced it to rock ‘n’ roll. Now, when the Beatles use it, it’s not so annoying, but these other bands who started messing with it aren’t the Beatles. With that said, Within In Without You is brilliant. And, if the whole album isn’t brilliant enough, it ends with the masterpiece, A Day in the Life. I can’t imagine what people thought when they first heard that song. It’s still a goose bump inducer today. Not only is this an album you must hear before you die, all the Beatles' albums are must hear before you die. But start from the beginning and go to the end if you have never done so. You can really hear how these guys grew as songwriters, musicians, and human beings.
Los Beatles se la fumaron con este álbum. The beginning of the downfall, although a lot of the songs are just so catchy. Within Without You is a travesty. 4/5
Well, this was inevitable, might's well get it over with. Yep, "Sgt Peppers" is an incredibly important record that inspired countless important bands in later years. But do I ever want to listen to it again? No. (Aw come on, even "Day in the Life"? NO.) This record came out when I was nine years old and has been on constant rotation ever since - so yes, I have heard it, thank you.
truly felt like a circus and i liked that. i can acknowledge its greatness but its not my vibe there’s an instrument in there that isnt doing it for me
Classic album. Day in the life is one of my favorite Beatles songs. Getting a little on the psychedelic side.
mooi.
A classic and genre-bending album to change how we heard and viewed music. The Summer of Love, will we experience something like that again?
Hard to say what I thought about the album. Most of it is solid classic rock music, but one song struck me as being very aware of the Beatles's star power.
It's fab, of course, and it's all been said before, but even ignoring all that, the fact remains Sgt Pepper... is just an album sizzling with energy and enthusiasm. Is it the best album ever - is it even the best Beatles album? Probably not, but that energy and invention is endlessly irresistible almost 60 years later.
Buenisimo! Canciones q no tenia en el radar: - Fixing a Hole - She's Leaving Home - Within Without You
The Beatles are good, not breaking any ground by saying that. This album has some weird songs and overall doesn't have their best stuff on it but none of it was bad and two of them are quite good.
About time for some Beatles. Arguably the best album by arguably one of history’s best bands. Excellent listen.
I've been waiting for some Beatles and it didn't disappoint. A fun album top to bottom. Hats off Sgt!
Amazing groundbreaking album!
Fun happy upbeat
95
Another classic Beatles album. You can really get a sense of the art pop/prog rock sound being formed. But the best thing about the album is how eclectic it is; the sounds really move between a crazy variety of sounds, influences, and themes. This album also fully plays in the space of "themes that just were not explored in pop music at the time" (She's Leaving Home is a great example of this).
9/10
Always a great listen!
Have not listened to this album for many years . It still holds up. Their song arrangements still amazing. A Day In The Life sounds better every time it plays
I have never understood the accolades this album has ever garnered. With a Little Help from my Friends is a banger, and the title track and A Day in the Life are good songs, but the rest of this album is just crap children's carnival music. The later Beatles are wildly overrated.
It's good, but not without filler (Fixing a Hole, Mr Kite!, Good Morning). Luckily, being the 60s, the filler songs are not overly long. Lucy, With a Little Help from My Friends and the title track are all amazing, and there is some whimsy in Rita and 64. And A Day In The Life will always rank as one of the greatest pop songs ever, for me at least. If some of the filler was more compelling, this would be an easy 5. But only a 4 from me, in spite of its reputation.
Ngl the beatles got here come the sun and nothing else. Glaze is unjustified
A classic, fantastic record. Not much else to be said; it's the Beatles.
Didn’t care for this record much at all. Usually at least one song gets me or has something interesting for me but I just didn’t get that here
Outstanding. So many memories listening to this as a kid. “Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite!” was the first song I ever deemed a favorite song. Love this album.
Strong start, excellent finish. (But lol it's chaff in the middle let's be fr?)
Probably my fourth or fifth favorite Beatles album yet still obviously a 5.
Easily my favorite Beatles album, they manage to not put any truly terrible songs on here.
Album No. 0084 on my list. What do you say about this album? The album that changed the whole concept of what an album is? The most important album of all time? What is there to review even? Well, first of all, I’m not its biggest fan. It’s not the greatest Beatles album in my opinion. Not by a long shot. But it’s still a pretty good one - and besides, one has to recognize its importance while reviewing it. The first tracks are actually among my favorite Beatles songs: the title track, and “With A Little Help From My Friends”, the latter being my actual favorite of this album and definitely the best Ringo song. Afterwards, the song quality decreases a bit. I’ve never been a big fan of “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, and the tracks that follow aren’t as good as well. I like “Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!”, though, and “When I’m Sixty Four” is a fine song as well. The other songs are less good, and I really don’t like “Within You Without You”. You know, I get why them going to India was important for the Beatles (and for music history overall), but I just don’t enjoy the immediate results. Anyway, the album finishes strongly with “A Day In The Life”, making this a solid album where the highlights outweigh the lows and which gets bonus points for its influence. 4/5 stars.
Overall Rating - 4.00/5 (8.00/10). When Lennon and McCartney heard "Pet Sounds," they heard the gauntlet being thrown down. This was their response. The couple of weak songs in the middle dragged the rating down lower than I thought it would be.
I wish I could listen to Sgt. Pepper again for the first time. I wish I could listen to Sgt. Pepper for the first time in 1967.
Is it a masterpiece or did they boys just do a lot of drugs and goof around in the studio?
favorite song-fixing a hole best song-a day in the life hidden gem-she’s leaving home deep cut-being for the benefit of mr. kite!
And it’s not even their best album. But if you weren’t alive before this came out, there’s no way to fully comprehend the way this record shifted the trajectory of rock and roll.
Not my favorite from the fab four. But it's still masterpiece after masterpiece.
Can a record be overrated but still one of the greatest of all time? Some of these songs I’ve known for literally as long as I can remember. I sang “When I’m 64” in Kindergarten chorus. Other tracks such as “She’s Leaving Home” and “Good Morning Good Morning” (which anticipates Pink Floyd’s Piper by only a couple of months), I didn’t remember as well but are still bangers. Layers and layers to enjoy in this one.
Los Beatles cumplen, pero no me flipan
Goood! Sillay
I'd never heard this before, but I knew all the songs. If I'd been old enough to buy this on the day it came out, would I have been impressed? Probably! Has it aged well? Mostly! Bravo to those talented moptops!
a true classic
good!
My favorite Beatles album since I was a kid! Such an iconic cover and story behind this album. A Day In The Life is still one of my fav songs from them.
Melodinga. Tikrai geresnis bitlų albumas.
Beatles er ikke helt min kopp, men unektelig bra da
How have I got this far in life without listening to this in full?!
GOAT! c ****** Alles stimmt hier, Jhon, Paul, George und Paul, die Songs, das Cover, die Zeit, das Konzept(-Album), alles... und das beim 97ten Album, besser wird es nicht mehr...
It’s okay. 😏
A day in the life
Hjalp ikkje på intervallene mine, men nice album uansett
Iconic album that was a great bridge between their early and later sounds. A Day in the Life is one of the greatest songs ever written.
Solid album.
Would not buy
Outstanding creativity with the music, majority of the songs are top tier, and the album tells a story throughout that is unlike any other. This is what The Beatles brought to the world in all of their music. The genius of all of them and what they contributed will live forever.
Absolutely fantastic. Eye and ear opening the first time I ever heard it. While I don't think it's my favorite Beatles album, it's such a great document of studio exploration and really figuring out what the band could do without getting too weird.
It’s OK

I don’t even know where to begin. What can you say about this album that hasn’t already been said over the last 50+ years? I guess for me it all started in 2020 when I went through my Sgt Peppers phase. My mom was a typical beatlemania girl you’d see screaming on tv in the 60s, so I heard this album plenty growing up but it never really resonated with me until I matured and started reevaluating my taste in music. Once I hit 30 and started actively listening to Sgt Peppers, I understood the fuss. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t just being influenced by mainstream pop culture hype or mob mentality, but if I can recite nearly every lyric to every song, it must’ve resonated with me. We know the hits and it starts out with four right in a row, but the deep tracks like She’s Leaving Home, Mr. Kite, Within You Without You, Lovely Rita are staples as well. And then there’s that final track that convinces you of the album’s genius if you weren’t sold before. Mind you I’m listening in 2020 and beyond, I can’t even imagine the impact this had in 1967. The thing about this album (and The Beatles in general) is that the first time you hear it, you’re surprised how many songs you’re already familiar with. Songs from ‘67 that are still relevant pop music today is quite the sentiment. My only complaints are couldn’t they have just included Strawberry Fields & Penny Lane; and this doesn’t hit me quite like their others (looking at you Revolver and Abbey Road).
It’s hard to mark anything on a classic record down. Still, there are parts of even this that I could do without. Yet, I don’t skip them or shut them off. This record is undeniable and certainly worthy of inclusion on the 1001 albums you must hear before you die.
It's the Beatles. Love the arrangements and experimentation with instruments. Not my most fave album, but love it. Listened before? Y Saved any tracks? Y Gfavorite tracks? All of them ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved it.
FINALLY! It took 104 days for me to get a Beatles album. The arrangements sound fantastic in my earbuds. Great storytelling with lots of whimsy. Absolutely love it! Listened before? Y Saved to library? Y Favorite track(s): With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds, She's Leaving Home, Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!, A Day In The Life ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Loved it! Saved most or all of the tracks.
First three tracks listened together is extremely euphoric, amazingly transitions with great crescendos and so on, really amazing album. 4.5
#4 Another classic for a reason. Inflection of their 60s voices is something I cannot get past.
The album was good, but I think it's overrated. It's a fun album with good music, but I don't have any desire to listen again.
I am disappointed from my own ignorance. I thought Strawberry Fields Forever was on this album. Oops. Well it was a big mistake not to include it and Penny Lane on the album replacing some more, shall I say, boring inclusions. The highs of this album are great though. Psychedelic rock is one of my favorite genres and this definitely was a good album. There just is not really a standout song. I think maybe if I were to listen to some songs more, I could really love this album.
Do we even need to listen to rate?
If someone says they’re a Beatles fan then lists this as their favorite album… well… they’re more of a Beatles tourist than an a fan. Interesting concept, some interesting songs, but not heir best work. Still a less than great Beatles album is always a 5 in my books
First of all, we have to acknowledge the enormous impact this album had on popular music and culture in general. That can't be denied. Unfortunately it is to its detriment that it inspired so many artists to do better. In short it has not aged well. There are absolutely some great songs here, but the whole offering is incoherrent. It has some of the worst of Paul's "Granny Music". For Every "A Day In The Life" there is a "When I'm Sixty-Four". They are throwing literally everything at the wall, and only some of it sticks. It's adventurous and experimental, but not all experiments are worth repeating. If I were to listen to The Beatles, I'd much rather go for the albums immediately preceding or following Sgt. Peppers. Revolver is just a much more consistently enjoyable listening experience, and the white album is way more daring and interesting. Sgt. Peppers deserves it's reputation as a groundbreaking work. It really was important, but that doesn't mean it's particularly good.
After being pleasantly surprised by an extraordinary rendition of 'with a little help from my friends' (, which I truly thought was written by Joe Cocker,) of course after came 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'. It was 8 o'clock in the morning and the railroadcrossing on my way to work just wouldn't open. I was slowly dozing off when I heard the melodic intro and I closed my eyes. The first thing I remember after is hearing the line "picture yourself on a train in a station" after which I opened my eyes and got to witness a train passing by that looked like it was transported from the sixties in front of a beautiful colourful sunrise. A very special moment that felt like the Beatles had had painted this scene especially for me. After such an experience it is of course difficult for the rest of the album to stand out. Yet I did find 'she's leaving home' and 'a day in the life' to be very pretty, 'When I'm sixty four' and 'fixing a hole' were very fun and 'within you without you' was absolutely fantastic. John Lennon apparently claims that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and the album in general don't have anything to do with LSD but this was such a rollercoaster of emotions that you could just as well open this album cover instead of an enveloppe.
First time I listen to an entire Beatles album and I must say I like it quite a lot, I like the album journey. Lucy in the sky is such a classic of course but the other songs are good too. I would give 3.75 stars if I could.
6 out of 5
One of the best albums of all time. Listened to it a week ago, so not much surprise factor.
I'm not a Beatles fan, but don't think I had ever listened to this album all the way through before. Honestly it exceeded expectations. The 2017 Mix helped bring this album to good headphone listening experiences (more evened across L/R). "Within You Without You" was my favorite - a tasteful mix of Beatles + South Asian influences. Never thought I'd give a Beatles album 4 stars but here we are -- above expectations.
Loved the flow and quirkyness
Sempre curti algumas músicas deles, mas ainda não tinha escutado esse álbum. Sensacional.
The only Beatles album I ever paid for. I'm not a great fan of concept albums generally, but this one is 92% excellent (you get to guess which track I usually skip)
Undeniable classic, I do like a few other Beatles albums more though as I don't find this one to be consistently from front to back
Yea
I mean…what is there more to say that hasnt already been said. Wow that first half is a classic...39 mins on the shorter side but just so classic.
Banget tras banger. Le daría 5 estrella, sino fuera por las canciones indias esas
can’t believe i actually listened to a beatles album interesting … and good 👍 some bangers
It's as good as it's reputation. Maybe even better. At the time it was a staggering achievement. Now, it's a fucking brilliant album. The tracklisting is perfect, it sounds like summer and it has the best George Harrison song.
A solid collection of bangers but not exactly a cohesive album. I can see how this below a couple of minds when it first came out.
Pretty great. Can't say anything that hasn't already been said. 5/5
C’mon man
Great album. Not listened to for a while
I didn't grow up listening to The Beatles like a lot of my contemporaries, and I always had an inversion towards them because of my difference. But you have to give credit where credit is due. 4 stars.
Memories of getting stoned off my tits in my younger days.
my favourite beatle is Gregor Samsa
My second Beatles album - it seems like I got their hippie albums first - my first Beatles album I got generated was Revolver back at album no. 6! This album is crazy good, it fits the definition of the saying 'all killer no filler.' The album is overall quite whimsical which seems to be the case for those first-wave psychedelic albums. I love how welcoming the title track is ("We hope you enjoy the show") and then it sends off with a great transition to one of the best songs ever made "With A Little Help From My Friends." "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is probably the epitome of this album and the hippie-era in general, referencing drugs, sounding innocent, playful, etc. "Getting Better" references issues John Lennon had such as, being violent - especially towards women - even if he was far from perfect, it says a lot to face the issues head on. "Fixing A Hole" and "She's Leaving Home" sound like movie musicals, just really lovely. The song "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!" is extremely radical considering where the four guys were at just 2 years prior. hell, even compared to the songs that they made that came after this. "Within You Without You" has George continue with Indian-themed songs, I believe it being just about the halfway mark is great song placement, no sooner, no later. The next one is a song that Paul wrote when he was only 14! ("When I'm Sixty Four") That song is a good contender for my favourite song of all time, it's just THAT good, everything about it. "Lovely Rita" has one of my favourite piano and singing parts, I believe this song is so underrated I wish people would give this song a chance. "Good Morning Good Morning" the album could've really done without this song, I would only ever listen to it if I'm listening to Sgt Pepper, never outside of it. The reprise of the title track is a lot my explosive then the non-reprise version wish the first track had more oomph to it more than it already does. "A Day In The Life" starts with the crowd applause from the reprise of the title track, then it picks up steam with the piano leading the charge, the song has these cinematic-like orchestral section which is just so great. I also think Ringo's drumming is EXCEPTIONAL on this song, then it all accumulates into the final ringing chord. It the song and also the album ends with this hidden track-like section (before it was cool to do so.) Some music journalists and publications consider this the best rock album ever, which I thought was ludicrous when I listened to it for the first time, but that title the album holds is completely valid; even it isn't my personal favourite rock album.
Its great! I really like the last song in the album. Have already listened to most of it before and I still love it.
Is it the greatest album ever? No. Is it the best Beatles album? Also no. But is it still a conceptual masterpiece of vivid imagery and experimentation? YES! Best track hands down is A Day In The Life.
The Beatles are untouchable. I didn't want to stop listening to the album. It really is a great work of art. I don't have much else to say, except that my favorite track is probably the title track. Each track was a delight, though!
one of the easiest 5's i will ever give
YOU KNOW
Many more astute, qualified, and eloquent people have reviewed this album before me, and I think they've done a great job. Nothing I say here will add any value, with the possible exception of my very simple review: I listened twice in a row. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I want to give 6 stars
classic.
Old ghost trauma album for me.
this is the beatles i would reach for
Sem dúvida nenhuma, considero este álbum umanobra-prima que redefiniu a música pop e rock da época com sua mistura eclética de estilos. As letras sagazes e introspectivas refletem a contracultura dos anos 60, criando uma experiência imersiva, uma verdadeira celebração da criatividade e da experimentação artística.
Beatles innit
Love this album. Great variety throughout, and very inventive. I'm a sucker for the clarinet, so "When I'm 64" has got a lot of airtime.
Fav. 100/10
4 1/2
Just the best. Rocking the concept album idea and just full of bops and bangers and tearjerkers. I hadn't listened to this album in a while and I'm grateful that I got the nudge to relisten.
Classic great etc etc
Simply lovely
It’s better on cassette but that’s hardly a complaint. This is your favourite album’s favourite album.
Still a really mesmerising album. John can’t help but mention he beats his wife at one point. That’s the only thing that dates it
Lifechanging - Listened to it maybe 500 times
i dislike the beatles but even i have to admit this album fuckin rules and those british kids do this style of rock better than most of their contempories. 4.5/5 rounded up
What a crazy pull for my first album. Faves: With a Little Help From My Friends, She's Leaving Home, Within You Without You, A Day in the Life
Really?
14/10?
I was slightly filled with dread when I saw this one on the list. Where do you start? I love The Beatles, but I've never really loved this album. The problem is, this is kind of the album equivalent of Star Wars. Hugely cultural impact, touchstone for a generation etc etc - but if you look at it objectively, actually quite clunky and flawed. The drugs and egos were taking their toll at this point, and the quality control had started to slip. Lots of filler (including the much-loved but actually not that great 'Lucy...' - that chorus is terrible). The whole 'concept' thing is a complete red herring. But the good bits are good, and A Day in the LIfe is astonishing - I'm sure much of the album's reputation comes from the sheer impact that track leaves people with at the end. It's the Beatles, so I can't give it less than a 4, but also it's just not solid enough for a 5. Also bear in mind that on the same scale, Revolver is at least a 10...
obviously
Of course.
Really winsome and whimsical with some total bangers and excellent George Martinning
Absolute banger.
It's not Wings but it is pretty much perfect.
A beautifully constructed album and a sweet, playful expression of one's mind opening up and (although I wasn't there) of the Boomer generations' experience of that as youngsters in that moment specifically. Complete with some of the awks that brings. Still, every time it gets towards a bit too trite the pace becomes playful and daft again. Every time it seems like it might be overly silly and absurd it dives deep into some sincere expression. Accomplished, silly, wide open expanses. Hope, yearning, learning and the circus. I'd like to tu-r-r-r-n y-ou-u-u-u o-o-o-n-n-nn....
This isn't my favorite Beatles' album, but it's not far off. It's not a bombastic album by any stretch, but it's one that changed the landscape of music in general for generations to come. Beautiful baroque pop rock with a range of influences from world music and psychedelia.
One of the most important albums of all time, so I feel almost guilty to not give it full marks, but I just can't. The beginning is just excellent and 'With a Little Help From My Friends' is one of my personal favorite Beatles tracks. However the middle part is just a bit weaker to me, with the low point being 'Within You Without You'. It just sounds annoying to me. The ending is strong again, however there are just a couple too many points in the album I did not really enjoy to give it the highest rating. 4/5
🫠🫠🫠
Um, it's The Beatles!
This was a really good album
Outstanding, at their best
Just great all around. No notes
Worth the 5 just for A Day in the Life (original opinion, do not steal).
This isn't my favorite Beatles project but as a project it's still one of the best pure psychedelic albums of all time, if not the best. Even when trying to make music that's weird or inaccessible or simplistic, they can't help but make perfect songs. This album is rich with some of the most warm and interesting psyche music ever, I can't imagine what it would be like to listen to this is 1967.
This is probably the easiest Beatles album we've had to listen to even if you don't like them. This is the archetypical thing you think of when you hear the name "Beatles". It's got full on pop music, the beginnings of their experimentation with south asian music, lyrical goofiness, lyrical seriousness, etc. It's all very Beatles. I'm not their biggest fan, but I dont dislike them either. I think this is a good album but I also don't think it's this grand masterpiece. It is fun to listen to and it has some genuinely great songs (With A Little Help, Lucy, A Day In The Life). The other tracks are good fun and there's a lot of varied instrumentation to keep it fresh (Within You Without You, Good Morning Good Morning). Not much else to say, it belongs on this list for the lasting impact it had on popular music and for being the zenith of the particular style and bedrock for a lot of things to come.
If I had to pick one album to divide music als an art form in a “before” and “after” it would be this one.
It's a perfect album. Melodies that are perfect, and not too much. A melancholic vibe in the background. 10/10
Love the vibe
ehhhh idk im generally not really a beatles fan anyway (i think theyre overhyped dont shoot me) so it was a bit of a tough listen tbh but i didnt absolutely hate it, some tracks were good it felt somewhat psychedelic at parts which was interesting to listen to at like 9 in the morning the title track was probably my favourite lucy in the sky with diamonds was not bad either i read up a bit and apparently this was one of their more outlandish/experimental albums so that's why it was a bit weirder i am open to becoming a beatles fan, i dont hate them just for the sake of it i just need good recs :( hey jude is lowkey fire though i might do some more digging but yeah all in all a bit of a miss for me....
I saw George Martin speak about making this record, once. Cheap Trick played.
George, please I beg you, drop the Sitars, they're not cool at all. Probably Lennon's strongest crop of songwriting contributions to a Beatles album in my opinion. 4 Stars, whats comes later is better.
(73/100)
album is wank
💯
This was fun, and I always appreciate Harrison squeezing his sitar revelations into Beatles albums
This is probably a 4.9 for me, but we'll do a quick round up. An iconic and game changing album that has both really interesting and incredible songs .
There was a moment of dread when this thing came up and I knew I was going to owe Alex an apology. I guess I do like psychadelic rock - and this album is part of it. I don't think there's a single miss on this album and its historic influence on the sound for the decade afterwards.
“It was twenty years ago today. Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they’re guaranteed to raise a smile!”
4.9/5 Just amazing. faves: she's leaving home, getting better, a day in the life
They did this two years after making poppy songs like"You're Going To Lose That Girl." Absolutely remarkable progression in so short a span. What a ground breaking studio masterpiece this is. Underrated if anything.
I have too much to say. It's brilliant, obviously.
Nicht so 100% mein Ding.
This one is an easy five and my personal favorite from the Beatles. Catchy and in no way lacking depth. By the time the second namesake of the album comes on there's a slight sadness like you know the band is about to leave the stage. Luckily, unlike a concert, you can just replay the album again.
I've really changed my mind on The Beatles throughout this project, especially after hearing a lot of music before and after they impacted the history of it. My project had most of their early albums in my first 200, and then abbey road at 250. I am at 950, and I just got White Album a few weeks back, and now Sgt. Peppers (here's hoping after I send this Revolver shows up.) Albums I know are on this list, I refuse to listen until they generate, even if it takes 700... This is one of the few albums that I truly can't wrap my head around how it sounds for it's time. It both sounds like the 60's, but also sounds ahead of anything of the year 1967 (besides VU & Nico debut) I thoroughly enjoyed this album. There's a juxtaposition with the rating on this album. I can see the case for rating this lower than expected based on not liking The Beatles, whether you think it holds up to their other albums, or even are just tired of the 60's sound in general due to Dimery's ever so bias towards 4-5 certain genres. However, there's also an inherit case to be made, that the pure gravitas of the album, and the culture shock it emitted, can only make it a 4 or 5 at the very minimum. One that gets harder to understand and empathize with the impact, the farther we get from the 1960's. Whether it's the outlook the west took after the album came out in the Summer of Love, the full-forced incorporation of eastern music, the artistic expression of album covers, sleeves, promotion, and easter eggs in song and design, the musical directions this would inspire, or of course, the stampeding statement trying to normalize, that this has been sparked by the use of LSD among others, you could argue that never has an album so sharply impacted the world, and it could only be a high rating. When you hear bands proudly declare that their grandiose album, that they poured everything into artistically, is their "Sgt. Pepper's", that's gotta count for something right?
This is the first full album I’ve listened to after knowing them for a while through their compilation albums, and I can say this is the first time I’ve really appreciated them beyond the impression that they’re just a pop band for teenyboppers. Favorite tracks: Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, With A Little Help From My Friends, When I'm Sixty Four
The Beatles won the popularity contest so everyone knows their songs. They are really fun to sing along to, and this album is full of the catchy memorable stuff. I'd argue the songs that aren't singles are often even better than the radio play. The album is well produced in every sense, but especially in that it all ties together from beginning to end, it really does feel like a project, however dated it might sound. They're not the first and they're not the last to make a simple catchy track, but they're definitely some of the most covered, it's like the sound was built to add onto it later. After hearing and loving a lot of that, it's nice to catch up with the source material. Can you believe fake McCartney really thinks Lucy in the Sky isn't about acid? 4.3/5
It’s hard to write a review for this album. It’s an utter masterpiece. So many textures, so many new things to hear every time you listen, incredible songwriting.
I am perplexed as to how this is one of the most famous albums ever of all time ever. It’s good, the Beatles are undeniable, but this is a lot weaker than some other Beatles entries. Never really been a Lucy in the sky fan personally, doesn’t do much for me. This whole album is sort of like the bad drug stereotype of “haha so random Mr beluga is trumpeting!!!!” tripping and I don’t love it. A day in the life is a masterpiece though. Despite me not vibing fully with this it’s still a musical achievement and deserving of at least a 4.
While I don't think some of the earlier Beatles records are great, there's no denying that this is one of the best records we have. Every one of them are at their best here. I'll admit that some of my enjoyment of this album is that I've heard it a bajillion times and have heard so much analysis about it, but so what it's the fucking beatles. 5/5
Classic album, no complaints!
Whimsical
this album has consistently been one of my favorite albums ever produced by the Beatles. The sonic exploration that ranges from art pop to psychedelia to Indian Classical while using instrumentation ranging from guitars and drums to strings, fifes, sitars, and dilrubas make this album a wildly creative and unique exploration. It's just such a fun and playful album that also creates a sense of wonder and awe. Incredible album.
Might be my favorite Beatles album. Definitely walks the line between creative and circus music, but more successfully than magical mystery tour, which feels more campy. It's the Beatles. I listen to the opening song a lot. wish it would go on longer before ringo starts singing.
There's nothing left to say about any Beatles album, but ESPECIALLY Sgt. Pepper's. To me, it sounds like a more focused White Album, and like every Beatles album, I appreciate it more than I actually enjoy it. At least this one felt like less of a chore than the White Album. These days I'm most struck by how heartbreaking "She's Leaving Home" is, probably because I'm the parent of a daughter. And, you know, "A Day in the Life" is a masterpiece, yada yada.
It's Sgt. Pepper's wtf else do I have to say?
This is #day438 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… I read the news today, oh boy! It's rather hard to approach this record without a bit of prejudice. I mean, "all-time classic," "an early concept album," "one of the most definining records of the 1967," and all that jazz... Musically, it's a fascinating album, and I bet they had a blast in the studio. "With a Little Help From My Friends," "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," "When I'm Sixty-Four," and "A Day in the Life" are my highlights. It's probably my first time listening to it front to back, but I can confidently say this is the kind of Beatles I'm after. This is a 4 out of 5. Looking forward to #day439.

A Day In The Life - 7/10 (Album Rating - 7.5/10 - I don't listen to The Beatles often, but I was pleasantly surprised with this album. They have very soft and soothing vocals, giving me Oasis vibes (who I absolutely love), so I will definitely like to listen to more of their music. The songs have very cool and different instrumentations and beats which is my favourite feature of songs, so very cool album!!
Masterpiece!
what can I say about the first ever concept album that hasn’t been said a million times before? sgt. pepper’s not just whim and experimentation in a cartoonish package, it’s an ode to artistic freedom. I did, in fact, enjoy the show. whoever invented lsd, thank you for giving us this masterpiece.
Not their best imo but groovy enough
A Day In The Life is actually so perfect
Can’t hit five stars fast enough.
Oh hell yeah. Love me some Lonely Hearts. Wont be much of a review here just gonna enjoy revisiting a classic.
This album explains a lot as it leads to the Beatles. There is a new sound there are different rhythms. There are different feelings from song this song I understand why so many people like this album
Start to finish lp
Really liked the final note of A Day in the Life. Holds so well
The cohesion & flow of this album is undeniable, and you can absolutely see how the quality of the production & the experimental song-writing would have been revolutionary at the time of release. However, there is something about this album that makes it fall flat for me. There are a number of tracks that have little to no impact as individual songs, and the delivery across the album does come across as pretty dated in parts. There are no doubt strong moments on the album and small elements that will remain iconic for years to come, but despite the album’s cohesiveness I come away from it feeling slightly underwhelmed.
I mean. What else can be said? It's great.
Incredible, very trippy, some very cool bass lines that I never noticed until this listen
Not what I expected from the Beatles. The music is all over the place. And maybe that’s what great music is about. Perfect bars, notes combined with a lack of a set structure. All the songs seem go be imbued with instruments and vocals that saturate the listener and their attention to the brim. Not just expecting attention but almost demanding it. Never did I ever think that a Beatles’ album could be so musicallly, lyrically and structurally be so many things and yet be just confined to one song. Too good!! So happy that this was the first I ever heard.
Personally this is my least favorite Beatles album
Klassiks
Not the best but damn it’s good!!! I was super excited when this popped up. Just one note: add the “The”
i have a disease called 'the-beatles-comes-on-and-i-start-crying-itis' and i need to go to psychoanalysis to cure myself
My favourite
This has always been a mixed bag for me but overall its pretty fantastic. Many of the Beatles best songs are on here, most notably "A Day In The Life" which is just unbelievably good. One of their very best. On the flipside, I think that "Lovely Rita" might be my least favorite Beatles song. That one actually pisses me off for some reason. Thats the only real stinker though, otherwise its nothing but classics. Not my favorite Beatles album, but always a treat to revisit. Favorite track: A Day In The Life
Hot take but this is probably my least favorite Beatles album even though it has some of their best songs. Just good to me nothing more.
💛🩷🩵❤️
Still one of my favorites from the Beatles. No skips required. Just listen and enjoy
Classic
A contender for the greatest album ever made, and it wasn't even the Beatles' best album.
It took a decade but I finally love this album. I always struggled with its reputation as the greatest album of all time when it always sounded a bit novelty to me, as if the forward thinking production was the only reason people loved it. Once I got over that, I can see this as just a really fun, vibrant album. It’s not their best and I prefer them much rockier, but it was nice to finally get it.
I think every kid in the 90s who went through a Beatles phase in elementary/middle school additionally went through an even deeper Sgt. Pepper’s phase. I have listened to this album all the way through so many times and thought it was the most profound thing I’d ever heard when I was a kid. And you know what? It’s still one of the most profound things I’ve ever heard. I don’t love the George song on this one, and I’ve never loved “Good Morning Good Morning,” but “She’s Leaving Home” and “A Day In The Life” might be two of the best Beatles songs of all time. This might be the Beatles best album, or maybe it’s just nostalgia, but I’m still as obsessed with this album as I was when I went through my first Beatles phase.
Such lush and interesting instrumentation throughout. Paul's bass lines (and lead guitar on the title track and good morning good morning) off the charts. Ringo playing those tasty drums. A Day in the Life is that genius shit. Probably could have left its last few seconds (5:11 mark) on the cutting room floor. I do appreciate the lyrics: "I Never Gucci Any Other Way." 🤪
A blast of guitar that's instantly recognizable. "With a little Help" morphs into "Lucy in the Sky.". The plane ride to post colonial India with the first biggest Rock band in the World that resulted in "Within You Without You." Sgt Peppers is more than an album. It's a postcard from The Beatles to give future generations an insight into what the end of the road felt like for George, Paul, John, and Ringo.
Considered one of the best albums of all time... for good reason.
Better than most Beatles, I actually enjoyed listening through it. Some of these songs deserve their spot as a classic.
Once they went to studio-only, the Beatles changed entirely, and they could never be compared to any other 60s band, because their focus was experimenting with sound in ways nobody else could replicate. It created fantastic music but also a strange detachment. You hear it on Sgt. Pepper: songs stretching out their drug-fueled explorations and indulgences. And the pull of their own interests beginning to pull the band apart. I mean, it’s a fucking brilliant album of course.
Day 54 Nearly 60 years old and still blows most modern music out of the water, truly groundbreaking. Not quite perfect for me as I always skip within you, without you, but it’s damn close 9/10 Highlights With a Little Help From My Friends Getting Better A Day in The Life
This is one of the few albums I know entirely.
Great album
Är detta den första Beatles-skivan?! I alla fall så kan jag ju sätta en femma olyssnat. Vid en genomlyssning är den nog till och med bättre än jag förväntade mig. Nästan att jag behöver en sexa. Genialt, klassiker rakt igenom. De river väggarna runt pop- och rockgenren så att de aldrig kunnat byggas upp igen. Femma med skruv!
The perfect record…I hear it still as I heard it the first time I listened.
After reading the Savage book, I finally understand how this evolved.
One of my favorite Beatles albums. 5/5
I really wasn't feeling this album much at all but then A Day In The Life came on and smote my questionable opinion. 4.14/5
I’ve listened to this one many times through and will listen again. It’s a concept album that actually works. It has all the things the Beatles do (the ballads, the fun upbeat ones, the India-inspired, and the plain weird ones). The only song I dislike is Being for the Benefit of Mr. kite, but it can still get 5 stars
How could I not give it 5 stars? Great to listen to again no matter how many times that I’ve heard it.
I heard this album for the first time 9 years after it was issued. Prior to that I had only heard the songs that were featured on the “Blue” album that came out shortly after the band broke up. Anyway, the first time I listened to this album as a teenager, I was mesmerized and went out and bought a copy shortly thereafter. I have loved the album ever since and have listened to it countless times. Even the song, Within You, Without You, which I don’t particularly care for, somehow fits in to the whole listening experience…at least for me. And not to mention the historical significance and creativity. Definitely 5 stars.
The best to ever do it. On this listen, what stood out was benefit of mr. Kite, she's leaving home, and lovely rita. Also, the album cover is phenomenal.
One of the greatest albums of all time. ★★★★★
I'm biased, because I love the Beatles, but this record is a masterpiece that I love even more the older I get.
I don't get it. :/
To me, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is the ultimate classic Beatles album. It starts with the incredible triad of the title track, "With a Little Help From my Friends" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" without losing much of the momentum afterwards. I guess this might be the most reviewed album of all times so I see no point in adding more.
Classic
Meget fint album, har aldrig rigtig hørt så meget Beatles. Men det her album var ret sjovt. Mærkelig ting at sige men det minder mig på en eller anden måde om Monty Python. Mange sjove lyde og føles lidt som om man er i cirkus til tider 7/10
Love the Beatles !
It's "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"! Of course, it's going to be 5 stars.
Not my favorite, but their best.
Good one
5/5 Sgt peppers... 9.5/10 with a little help from my friend 8/10 Lucy in the sky... 9.5/10 getting better 8.5/10 fixing a hole she's leaving home 8.5/10 for the benefit of mr kite 9/10 within you without you 7/10 when im 64 8.5/10 Lovely Rita 8/10 again good morning 8.5/10 Sgt peppers reprise 8.5/10 a day in the life 9/10 1)Lucy in the sky full of diamonds 2)Sgt peppers 3)a day in the life 4)she's leaving home 5)being for the benefit of mr kite 6)getting better 7)she's leaving home
Interesting experimental phase, though arguably some of their weakest songwriting. Within You Without You is still my favorite Beatles song
Game changer when released. Timeless.
The Beatles are getting a little weird and a little wild with this record. It's not my favourite Beatles record, but it's good. Favourite Track(s): With a Little Help From My Friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, A Day in the Life Least Favourite Track(s): Within You Without You
Almost 10. Felt too goofy for a 10
my fav beatles one so far
Good album, but the Beatles have better
yeah.... This is a 5/5 easily. I wouldn't have said this a few years ago. My listening experience with the Beatles was from my Mom's record collection. For some reason, Sgt. Pepper's was the most damaged record, and I never spun it. I fell in love with Rubber Soul mostly, followed by Revolver. Now that I've heard a version uninterrupted by scratches and skips, I know now that it's their best album. I still love Rubber Soul, but let's be real. My biggest "ah-hah" moment today was listening to "Lovely Rita" WHAT IS THAT ENDING?! What a groove! I still want to say "Rubber Soul" is my favorite, but this album is objectively better.
Ah, we have finally made it to the Beatles. According to current online music discourse I am not allowed to dislike this band as they influenced every other artist ever and invented literally every music genre. Luckily for me I form my own opinions. So let's see. Damn this really went into some bing bing wahoo ass music
An incredible 8th Beatles album, the first half take you to a grounded feel of companionship and sweet songs to listen to, the start of the second half deviates from the rock/pop feel and then brings you back to the fantasy and ground you once again with A Day In The Life. Production astounding and lyrics very good as always. A great record to own.
Sometimes the classics are classics for a reason. Because it’s not just the songs, the lyrics or the vibes here. It’s also the production and care George Martin is throwing into every second and beat of every song. It’s the massive influence felt in certain notes and how they’re played. It’s a band stretching its talent to the absolute limit without devolving into chaos. It’s a perfect record.
At first I thought I might finally warm up to the Beatles, but then the second half was pretty irritiating.
Overall: 10/10 My tastes have changed a lot since I first heard this one, but it will always remain a classic in my eyes. If people want to call it overrated, that's fine...but I'll always disagree. It's not even my favourite album by The Beatles, but it's probably their masterpiece. How did a band that essentially started out as a boy band make so many incredible albums???? It's so inconceivable to me. The concept of the album is so unimportant to how good it is either. Music just didn't sound like this before this came out. I don't even fully know what to say, I just can't believe these guys existed. Fav Song: Getting Better
What else is there to say.
The best Beatles album which puts if I. The running for best album ever.
Listening to this a bunch lately has landed me at an unusual ranking of Beatles, which coincidentally is the reverse order they will have (actually) died in: Paul > Ringo > George > John I will not be taking questions at this time
didn’t listen
While this is their "best" rock album. It pales in comparison to their Boy Band era, which had their best music
Unquestioned classic. Such an impressive soundscape.
nice to have an obscure album , not sure if these felllas will ever make it big though . 5
Not their best but still really good
I think me being so far removed from a pre-Beatles world prevents me from appreciating the Beatles as much as others rave about them. I also think if I was on acid or seriously stoned I would enjoy this (and other Beatles albums, I'm looking at you White Album) a lot more. However, I was not when I heard this so it's just kinda meh. It sounds nice, if kinda weird. I dunno this just really doesn't do anything for me and I don't really understand in an emotional sense (I can understand it in an academic sense) the impact this had on music in general. Call me stupid if you want, I don't really care, this album is kinda mid.
not one of the stronger Beatles albums. can see how it had big impact on other artists &appreciate variety of styles/sounds. just not my favorite.
Title track - can't go WRONG. A Little Help From My Friends - a bit plodding but sure look; what a nice message...(if friends) or a reasonable one (if drugs). Lucy In The Sky with Diamonds - classic. Getting Better - so uplifting. Love "be hiding me head" and the humour in "can't get no worse". Always loved the repeating note at the end - wish it went on longer. Fixing A Hole - Love that it goes from simple to trippy on "where it will goooooo". She's Leaving Home - love the mysterious quality to the lyrics and that nothing's said outright, and the sense of dread throughout. Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite - I always like ominous circus music; I mean, I loved Dagmar Krause from this list! Love the tempo change when the waltz comes in. Within You Without You - George I love you but there was simply no need. When I'm Sixty Four - CUTE. Hadn't caught the random Scottish accent on 'your' in 'on your knee' before. Lovely Rita - so good - love the harmonies and dreamy quality to the chorus. Didnt remember the trippy ending. Good Morning Good Morning - Love the timing and tempo changes. Do NOT remember all those animal noises, but I'm thinking there's stuff added or just made clearer on the Remastered tracks that I didn't grow up with. Sgt. Pepper's Reprise - just such good rock. A Day In The Life - Very good - still freaked out by the orchestral rise tbh. Never appreciated the final chord until now - what an incredibly perfect end to a song and album (if we ignore the actual nightmarish end to the song haha): "In author Jonathan Gould's commentary on "A Day in the Life", he describes the final chord as "a forty-second meditation on finality that leaves each member of the audience listening with a new kind of attention and awareness to the sound of nothing at all"."
Great album.
I listened to it just to make show of what I already knew. I think Fixing A Hole is one of my favorite songs ever. Lol. Idk why and it’s probably not. 5 stahs
Not my fav Beatles album, but I was ground breaking.
3.15
classic stuff
Idk man. Lots of familiar songs. Lots of variety. Very different. Definitely get it but again I think this is a "you had to be there album/band"
Biisit on kivan napakoita ja "hillittyjä". ~Lähes~ mikään ei särähdä korvaan ja albumin läpi luistelee. Tykkään! Plus tarinat useamman biisin nimen ja sanojen taustalla on hauskoja!
One of the BEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME BY ANY ONE OR GROUP OF ARTISTS
Dad music, definitely a 4/5 can’t be five as I wouldn’t suck all their dicks
There's some fun blends of genre here but I just feel that you have to be obligated to like the Beatles
8.9/10
This is one of the stronger Beatles albums. It's much better than I anticipated or remembered it being
Grateful to this album for how much good progressive rock it inspired
One of the weaker Beatles albums. Run from title track —> she’s leaving home is 10/10 then it drops a steaming pile of shit with benefit of mr kite and within you without you. When I’m 64, the reprise and a day in the life are great though. also john beats his wife but it’s ok he’s changing his scene ☺️
Obviously a 5 and probably a top 10 album ever made
One of the greatest albums ever, but not the Beatles best.
One of the greatest of all time.
Was a fun listen. Im not the biggest beatles fan by any means, but there were a few songs I recognised and can't be understated they were ahead of their time. A couple more bangers would've set this up for a bigger rating for me, but a high rating considering Im generally not a 60's or Beatles stan
I've heard this album many times before. It's not even my favorite Beatles album, but the influence it had and the revolutionary production makes this an automatic 5 stars.
Great way to start the week, an easy banger, listened to it three times back to back.
Best album for me so far. Leaving room for my favorites.
I’ve always written the beetles off because I just couldn’t get into the sound. I think their songs are incredible but (super hot take), I just prefer the covers I hear. Throwing this up on the stereo, this is a masterpiece. Truly think this is one of the best albums ever made.
For me it is like Revolver but add some more psychedelic color and take that all to 11 Top 10 album all time for me!
Yay............Not my favorite Beatles Album but one of the best albums EVER... 5/5 #albumsky #MusicSky
The pivot point for the entire rock movement, a whole catalog of prototypes for a new way to make music.
Its very difficult to be objective about an album that I've been singing along with for my whole life! Favorites have changed slightly over time - right now I'm enjoying Ringo's singing on "Friends" and George's "Without You" together with strings on "Day in the Life", and every bit of Ringo working the drums It was a suprise to see that Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields, which were released only three months earlier, are in fact not included in this album I still believe that ditching "Rita" would have made this collection perfect! A gem! - 5/5
Not my favorite Beatles record but it is still tough to find many flaws here, just an absolutely wonderful work of art.
Sure this is on every best of list - strong start and ends with probably the best Beatles song ever. But did anyone notice the weak middle part? Mr. Kite, Within/Without, Lovely Rita, Good Morning are - for Beatles' standard - lame ass fillers. Then - I love Pauls songs (usually prefer them over Johns) - but this album has a bit too much of Paul and lacks Johns influence (who was - as I learned - too drugged). Overall a great Beatles album but surely not their best.
More ink has been spilled about Sgt. Pepper than probably any other album on this list. IMO , it’s The Beatles’ fourth or fifth best album. Still GOAT level; The Beatles were that fucking good. Never could be any other way.
very good actually feels like an album the little songs to introduce and conclude are nice. I don't really see which song is meant to be the song of the album everything is very much the same level of good
Masterpiece. There is nothing to say that hasn't already been said about this revolutionary album. It's so fucking fire it's insane. Fave song: A Day In The Life Honorable Mention: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
Its a full story, its rock, its art. I knew the Beatles was GOATed but I didn't realize they were this good. Favourite Song: Good Morning Good Morning Honourable Mention: When I'm Sixty-Four, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
wow. fuck, thats good
Words don’t do this album justice. The one word that describes this album in the highest regard hasn’t been invented yet. Thank you Beatles.
I used to be obsessed with the beatles, but never liked their back half as much as their earlier albums (Rubber Soul is my favorite). Today I'm revisiting this after years. ... Who am I kidding, this album is excellent, there's so much variety in musicality, no dull moments, an evolution for the Beatles. 5* Some highlights: a day in the life (that iconic end), with a little help (one of the best ringo songs), she's leaving home (the harmonies! the strings!), lucy in the sky with diamonds, when i'm 64 (adorable)
