Reviews (page 9 of 15)
Fro got me onto The Beatles at 190 George, before that- just a famous old band. I think out of their albums, this is the best ale. No 2 songs alike
Waited for my turntable to be delivered to finally listen to this album completely. It is a 5 from start to finish, even the last loop, which is sadly lost in the cd's and streaming services versions, is amazing.
Classic, what more is there to say. * Italianesq kisses fingers to mouth motion* 🤣
A true classic + unique and experimental for the time
Je n’ai même pas besoin de justifier. 5*
Top tier album. The variety of sounds on here and the quality of every song are amazing. Favorite Track(s): I honestly love each and every song on this album for various reasons, but “A Day In The Life” takes the top spot
The obvious answer for when someone asks what a 5/5 album sounds like. Never a dull moment and couldn't possibly be any better.
I mean, it's a classic.
Superb
It’s just a classic. Timeless and still amazing today. I need to listen to The Beatles more man...
Greatest classic
A little overrated in Beatles' discography but still amazing. 9/10 1. A Day in the Life 2. She’s Leaving Home 3. With a Little Help From My Friends
Very very good. Where do we get some LSD?
yes!
All-time classic! Great production quality
Such a great collection of songs. Been a while since I've heard them.
Obviously a classic. Heard it a million times.
I don't think I have ever hear "Within you without you" before... I could have sworn I had listened to this album before, but I must have only listened to the A-side. "When I am Sixty-Four" is great. "Lovely Rita"- Are the Beatles boot-lickers? I want to rewatch "Across the Universe". There are so many little nods to this album in the show. "A Day in the Life" Is a bit too on the nose for me this week, but damn it is good.
Really?
superb
Fantastic. What it must have been like to hear this for the first time back in the 60s. It holds up now as a clever and interesting album that moves through genres and tempos. Loved it.
Very good but it does sound like lots of things from the past 50 years.
Fem av fem. The original concept
Classic!
While I don't absolutely love every single song on here I find myself going back and listening to it over and over again. It's hard not to imagine how mind blowing this must have sounded to a Beatles fan (and the rest of the world) post Beatlemania . Although they weren't the first to do it, the commercial implications it had for psych rock's emergence into the mainstream is worth five stars in itself. She's Leaving Home is probably my highlight, followed closely by With a Little Help and When I'm Sixty Four.
Great album, had heard it already and it was a delight to revisit it. The fact that the whole album is a unit is nothing short of a masterpiece before its time.
I remember being a little kid, maybe seven years old and listening to this on headphones and enjoying the space it creates. Fun to listen to it again, it's been too long. Great memories!
HA. Really.. Rate this masterpiece?
Every song is so transformative, didn't realize so many of the classics were on Sgt. Pepper.
Didn't realize how many great songs there on there. Some experimental stuff that must have been crazy back when it came out. Really good album.
Amazing She's leaving home deserves another listen
Just great
BEATLESSSSSS
Fenomenalno, kompletno. Lucy in the sky with diamonds; Lovely Rita; A day in life
Zero notes required.
годный альбом! и вообще, тяжело найти человека, которому не нравилась хотя бы одна песня битлов
It's The Beatles. Classic album.
I really do love this album, great songs that go even better together.
What more is there to say?
the songs are a good length i really like the beatles i think its cool that there's cheering the background with a little help from my friends is fire
This album is amazing and will continue to be amazing until the end of time. All the songs are great, perfect length, and absolute jammers. The only downside to this record is 'Within You Without You' which is a boring slog of Indian song. Overall I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars. thanks for coming to my ted talk.
Listened to this since I was a little kid
It's fricken the Beatles. not my first listen, never could be another way-never could be any other w-Never could be any other...
Still impressive for the time and a great listen every time
A classic. Definitely in the top half of the Beatles albums for me, and a long-time favorite of mine.
I mean, it's Sgt. Pepper's Motherfucking Lonely Hearts Club Band, what do you expect. Ps: Lennon fucking sucks.
One of the best albums ever made. Every song is the best on the album. A true classic, one of my most listened to in my collection. The cover itself is amazing.
Favorite track(s): Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, With a Little Help from My Friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Fixing a Hole, She's Leaving Home, Within You Without You, Day in the Life Unfortunately I still think this is the most overrated Beatles project. It's not even the best album of 1967. But it is pretty freakin' good! First time listening to the 2017 remix. Heard before Previous rating: 8/10
evergreen
Sgt Pepper's reputation is built on it's beginning and end. 3 of these songs are bad - Fixing A Hole, Mr Kite, and She's Leaving Home. Getting Better isn't great either but it gets by. That said.. With A Little Help From My Friends is one of the greatest songs of all time.
The lack of sobriety is evident and it’s not a bad thing
Anchored in time and place. Still mostly appealing.
4/5
Conceptually brilliant. Often exciting but sometimes dull. There are a lot of 5 star ratings for this one but I can't quite go that far.
It's great album besides 3 or 4 songs. Paul seems to sing on most of the songs too which isn't a bad thing
Nie zlé, ale sú albumy, ktoré mám radšej...
I think this is one of the Beatles’ more overrated records. It gets too much credit for being an early concept album when it’s not *really* that. I was gonna give this a 3 like with the White Album but this one does have “Day in the Life” and a few other great tunes and also isn’t an overstuffed double like that one. ML409
Some all time classics but also some songs that def aren't
When The Beatles went to India Ringo took a suitcase full of baked beans with him.
The Beatles completely abandon love songs in favour of durpy songs about everyday events as seen through an LSD coated lens. The psychedelic template that everyone copied. Quirky, eclectic, creative and definitely pushing the boundaries of the recording studio to the max.
Everything about this album is incredible and it changed music forever. The care and production put into every song is obvious and it's crazy how well this record has persisted even 60 years later. It's remarkable. For me, it isn't my favorite Beatle's record. Just personally, I don't connect as much with the songs on here. But it is undeniable that this is one of the best ever. A Day In The Life is a contender for top 10 songs ever. Top Songs: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Getting Better, Within You Without You, A Day in the Life
enjoyed that
these guys are pretty good but they're no Velvet Underground
Relative to the whole list this is of course a 5, but relative to the Beatles I’m bumping it down a little bit. It’s the A Tier, not the S Tier. Who could possibly have something interesting to say about it at this point though. I guess I can say this: I’ve barfed to this album an inordinate number of times.
Have I listened to this album before No How familiar am I with this album Pretty familiar How do I feel about this artist? I like the Beatles as much as anyone else. Not a super-fan but I genuinely enjoy them. Pre-Listen Thoughts: I've been waiting for some late-stage British Invasion, music got really interesting these years and the Beatles are a bit part of that. I am excited. Favorite track(s): With a Little Help From My Friends, A Day In the Life Post-Listen Thoughts: Of course this was good. Honestly, I don’t think it’s a five star album for me. I feel like there is a little bit of filler in there from my perspective. Still really great though, it’s a high 4 for sure. I enjoyed the show.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds and other hits
every beatles album (except abbey road) has like 10 absolute all time bangers and 1-2 songs that make you question what happened (it's almost always john's fault.) i like this album, but parts of it go off the deep end. oh well. still good. Would I listen again: yeah I have it on vinyl Deserves to be on this list: I'd keep the beatles to just Abbey Road and Revolver. 4.2
All classics and a cohesive piece of art - best song Day in the life
A creative classic but I know how much more I appreciate some other Beatles albums, so only 4*
5 stars for influence, 4 stars for me personally listening now.
Beatles ne
Les deux premières chansons sont très chouettes. Un peu des sonorités indiennes . C’était déjà plus variés Premier album que j’écoute en entier aussi :)
4.5/5. It was 59 years and 98 days ago (not today). when Sgt. Pepper released this album for you to play. Considered an early example of a concept album. Which has always been a bit funny, the concept is just that the Beatles are another band, and they don’t really stick with that concept outside of the first few songs. But none of that matters when your album is this great. The opening title track is a perfect tone setter and then you get “with a little help from my friends” which is probably the best Beatles song sung by Ringo, it uses his friendly, more plain vocals very well. Sgt. Peppers is also where the Beatles leaned fully into the psychedelia (and psychedelic drugs) that they were starting to experiment with on revolver which really shows on tracks like “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” (which abbreviated to L.S.D.) or “Being for the Benefit of Mr. kite.” I also love the sitar heavy George track “Within you without you.” But all of that pales in comparison to the album closer “A Day in the Life” which is probably the single best song the band ever made. You get a great opening section from John before it goes into a chaotic orchestral swell which gives me chills every time before going into a great section with Paul, then back to John. it takes so many things that shouldn’t work together and forms it into a perfect song. So with how much I’ve gushed over this album, what stops it from being a 5/5 from me. Which is two main things. First being the two tracks “Lovely Rita” and “Good Morning Good Morning” which to me have always been noticeably weaker than the rest of the tracks here. And second is just that I simply prefer a number of other Beatles records over this one whether that be Revolver, Abbey Road, or maybe my hottest beatles take, Magical Mystery Tour (yes it’s just an EP with a second side of singles tacked on, but damn that tracklist is pretty much bulletproof in my mind.)
It's just a brilliant album, isn't it? Plenty of classic tunes, a great opening and great finish, and it still sounds terrific. I'm not the biggest Beatles fan, and I don't think it's perfect, but it's well above most on the list.
This album was inevitable. I did, however, enjoy it. I feel like The Beatles really aged well later into their career taking inspiration from their world travels and putting it back into the music. Man I really like The Beatles.
SOn los bituls pero tampoco tampoco
I liked it.
A classic Beatles album with few misses. It’s easy to tell this is an influential album even to this day, as I experienced “Within or Without You,” a song that uses unique instruments that seem foreign. However, I believe it can be said that Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is not the magnum opus of The Beatles. Overall, this is an album that I would recommend to anyone who appreciates classics like this.
Feels like I shouldn't be giving this anything below a 5 but a couple of these tracks are pretty bum
Me pareció super dinámico musicalmente, por lo que realmente me tuvo entretenida, deberia escucharlo alguna vez más como para apreciarlo en conjunto con las letras, pero musicalmente me gustó
Great album! Classic. I remember this as a kid
I do think this is a tad overrated. Sure instrumentally it’s great, but I find a ton of the songs way too short and find they stop very abruptly. It’s still the Beatles, so it’s great, by not anywhere near something like an Abbey Road.
It’s just not their best isn’t it
I’m not mad they let these white boys cook for this long
A 3 if it wasn’t for “A Day in the Life”. Progressive for its time, yes. But are the songs actually good? I say mediocre.
I think my fav Beatles songs are on here. However, as an album experience, I think it has a few duds. There’s a couple songs that don’t feel like they’d be part of the Sgt Pepper band’s discography… i expected there to be more uniformity across the tracklist, as the band pretends to be another band with a psychedelic edge. It’s still a great album, but I don’t think I can give it 5 stars.
8.5/10- Similar to Dylan, Kendrick, Radiohead and Bowie where an album that “isn’t my favorite of theirs” is most other bands best ever.
Did I save a single song from this album, no. Is it better than 90% of the music on this list, yes.
solid beatles album maar niet hun beste en ook geen 5 ster
Perhaps I was a little harsh on this last time I rated it, I still think it’s a little overrated with a couple of duds and day in the life is definitely not the best song ever like RYM thinks Does have a lot of very good songs on here though 4
Great album! Very experimental, but not as good as some of the other Beatles albums.
Still great.
Trying as best as I can to come at this with fresh ears, which is of course impossible. One thing that bothers me when I read about this record is the "innovation of the concept album" yada yada. It's just the absolute easiest concept ever to say (as a band) that the album is a performance by a fictitious band - and the concept really only adds up on the first two tracks. In my opinion it just doesn't qualify as a concept because you make ONE song (with a reprise) about the concept and pair it with a fun album cover.... ALSO, there are so many inconsistencies in this "story" ("performance") - why does a so called edwardian military band have a Sitar? Tabla?? A bunch of LSD??? Synths???? Concept my ass, but fuck it. The album opens fantastically in my opinion, the second track is very charming and Lucy in the Sky is exciting as well. Getting Better and Fixing a Hole feels a little underwhelming upon revisiting (comparably), but the Indian instrumentation is very well incorporated and still sounds great to me. She's Leaving Home is absolutely gorgeous imo. Mr. Kite has great verses and the circus shit is fun - the weird sounds and experimentation is very well incorporated. Within You Within You does take the Indian inspiration too far. Without really adding anything to Indian classical tradition, the track just kinda becomes a watered down version of this longstanding musical tradition, while reducing the philosophy and spirituality to stupid hippy shit (sorry) - I do think it's well meant, and it's by no means a bad track (the strings, sitar and tabla are well performed), and it should get credit for introducing these sounds to a wider (read: western) audience. When I'm 64 is very cute, love it. Lovely Rita is great as well. Good Morning is also a pretty great track. The Reprise is kinda superfluous to me, again, what's the actual concept here??? And why would this performance include a short reprise all of a sudden (insert that it does not make sense meme here) Buuuut, A Day in the Life might just be one of the greatest achievements in popular music history. I am absolutely floored every time I hear that track. 8.5/10
One of the best psychedelic tinged Beatles albums. So many good tracks here. Favorite track: Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Definitely one of the better Beatles' records, although I don't know if it's my number one. A lot of very cool experiementation on this, and it undeniably sounds groundbreaking for the time. That said, like all Beatles records (IMO), it does have some very weak tracks on it as well like "Getting Better," and kind of lags in the second half before a very strong ending with "A Day in the Life."
Creative as all hell.
Incredible album marred by its legacy. Has a couple of Lennon's weakest tracks and not enough swagger. Replace the worst tracks with Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever and you get an album that lives up to the hype. I'm sure in 1967 it was a consciousness expanding masterpiece but 59 years later it is just a really good record.
這是我聆聽Beatles的第二張專輯，第一張是Please Please Me。 我好意外這是Beatles。 雖然我不是聽完立刻寫下心得與評價，但我還是非常驚訝這是Beatles，與他們在Please Please Me的表現完全完全不同，簡直是兩個樂團。
Wow this album is a real banger. It’s been a while since I listened to it the whole way through
Familiar, enjoyable and very well imagined and put together.
I really liked this one as a thematic collection of songs. I think the flow of it left some semblance of a story, but as a whole the songs were good-to-mid. Every time I listen to a Beatles album I’m left with this thought that nobody would care about this today. The horns were really fun, the bass was really fun, a dramatically better musical performance than the other Beatles album we listened to. Did Sgt Pepper kill himself in the last song? Favs: Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band Fixing a whole A day in the life
A low 4 for me, This album was very pleasant to listen to and I had a number of songs I enjoyed. It didn’t stand out to me in any major way but still overall enjoyable
I struggled a lot with what I was gonna rate this album. I walked into it expecting to give it a high 3/low 4 based on prior knowledge of the album. By the time I got through the three-song run of Sgt. Pepper's/Help From My Friends/Lucy, I had convinced myself this album was gonna be my first 5 star. By the time I reached the end of Day In The Life, I had come back down to earth, more vindicated in my initial expectation. I've arrived at the following conclusion: I enjoyed the show! This isn't the best album of all time, it's not even the best Beatles album (hell, it's not even top 3). It is, however, a fun album to listen to, a foundational (that's twice I've used that word in a Beatles album review now) work as a concept album, and as a benchmark for more experimental sounds moving forward. It is also an indicator of the zeitgeist of the late 60's, serving as the backdrop for the Summer of Love (six-sevennnnn hahahahahahahaahahahahaha) and broader cultural change -- at least in the US -- around the time. We're tipping pretty firmly into the Drugged Out Beatles era. This is some real hippie shit. Throughout the album, I am a huge fan of how McCartney and Lennon's voices play off of each other. Paul's honey-sweet tenor contrasts wonderfully with Lennon's nasal drawl (at its worst during Lucy). The instrumentation is eclectic to say the least, but well-balanced through it all. This also marks 2 albums in a row that feature the harpsichord prominently. I wonder if we can do a Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon drawing a musical lineage from the Beatles to Eminem. Just a musing. 7/10 Song Notes: - As previously mentioned, the three-track run to start the album is unparalleled, and promises a spectacle. As such, it's almost a regression to follow up that promise with Getting Better and Fixing a Hole, two very safe "classic" Beatles sounds. - She's Leaving Home was written and sung in a really tender in a very defeated kind of way, and it really stuck with me. Something about songs addressing relationships between parents and kids always gets me. - I audibly laughed out loud when I first heard the intro of Within You Without You. As far as the George Harrison-ness of the song, WYWY has the subtlety of an 18-wheeler. - The whiplash of going from George's drugged out sitar to Paul's Sesame Street clarinet of Sixty Four cannot be understated - I was a big fan of the intro to Lovely Rita. Something about that guitar sound just tickles me. - Day in the Life is a trip of a song. The John/Paul splits are really fun to contrast, and this is some of Ringo's best work imo. The discordant orchestra building to each new part of the song adds a nice tension to the end of the album, but the secret track at the end feels like a 'fuck you' to what's otherwise a really fun album - Dishonorable mentions to Fixing a Hole, Mr. Kite, and Good Morning. All of them fell flat on their faces imo Favorites: - With A Little Help From My Friends - Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds - She's Leaving Home - Lovely Rita - Sixty Four - A Day In The Life
i thought it was pretty good
Hey I know that chord, oh boy! (plus other songs).
I love drugs! I forgot how creepy the end of a day in the life is
Ja die is goed
First time I listened all way through. It was ok.
Half of this album is amazing and half is filler But the amazing half is so amazing
Never been my favourite of theirs. Only 2 or 3 genuinely brilliant songs - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, She’s Leaving Home and A Day In The Life. Quite a bit of filler but scrapes a 4 cos it’s The Beatles innit
I cant say this is a fave but it’s got some great songs. First three and benefit of mr kite are great aint they
Its great innit! But dont believe the hype its not the best album of all time....its not even the best album released that year, but its gateway to the beatles albums and its a great place to start. Shes leaving is home is one of my favourite beatles tracks and a day i the life is epic no doubt! Such a dame shame that back then singles wasn't put on albums imagine strawberry fields and penng lane was on here too.
Objecively Classic album. Right mix of brilliantly written songs and 'experimental' sounding songs Shes Leaving Home could be my fave Beatles song Getting Better and Lovely Rita other personal highlifhts. Having a Ringo song so early isnt rhe best but i'll overlook that... 4.5
Class
Great album with really cool ideas. My favourites were Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds and Good Morning Good Morning, but each of the tracks caught my interest in some way.
#213/1001 🇬🇧 As with many Beatles records, i'm a bit torn. There are so many brilliant tracks on here but i feel it loses way towards the end of the first side. Imagine how much better it would be with Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane included. Best Tracks: A Day In The Life, Within You Without You, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, When I'm 64.
Ah yes, the second act of the Beatles. It’s a good day to listen to the Beatles. Thank god for drugs, cause if not they would’ve remained tight assed pop stars and we wouldn’t have gotten this, the white album, abbey road, let it be, etc. I think this is the first on the list (so far) that I actually have on vinyl, so it’s only appropriate to spin. The prize of my collection too — an original press given to me by my mother. I’d give the rest away, but I’ll keep this one. This is not a perfect album in the sense that every song is a total hit, but damnit if it isn’t a gem. Creates such a nice atmosphere on the play, and I appreciate that it’s meant to be listened to in full, with the opening sgt peppers track addressing the audience, then the second reprise wishing us well. And A Day in the Life as a closer? Chefs kiss. An opus in itself. What this is, in the majority, is experimentation. In their psychedelic exploration, they were just trying stuff, and when that happens, not everything hits. But you see in this album what really flourishes over the next few — a combination of deeply introspective songwriting and fun, playful character/world creation. And that’s why this is so highly regarded (deservingly so) as one of the greatest albums. Not because every song is a true classic, but because it was a journey into new territory that the entire music world was better because of. It was an exploration, a signal of a shift in the collective consciousness (summer of love, counter culture) that broadened the musical horizon and ushered in a new era of music. To anyone that doesn’t connect with every, many, or any songs on the album, thats not all you’re looking for — listening to this takes a heavy dose of perspective, to imagine what this was at the time it was created. The Beatles made beautiful music, and this is a lovely example of it. Like I said, it'll never leave my record collection.
decent
It's the Beatles. This album really drags in the middle compared to some of their others but A Day In The Life is one of my favorites and the front is stacked with classics.
Listening with fresh ears, it’s great but not perfect? Maybe it’s just way too overhyped in my head which always leads to a letdown. Definitely loses a star for the desert song. Big ups to the chord heard round the world tho, awesome. A few all timers on here.
Eccentric love
A very good but not a great album. Iconic cover. The album has a very loose concept. The first side is excellent. Every song is excellent. Gems such as Little Help from my friends, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and Getting Better. However, the second side has some weak songs such as When I’m 64, Lovely Rita and Good Morning. I don’t like With and Without you but I guess George has to have his Indian thing. George Martin the producer said his greatest mistake was not insisting that Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane be included on the album. You put them on the second side, get rid of the songs I mentioned, and you have the greatest album ever Of course, Sgt. Pepper ends with one of the greatest songs ever, A day in the Life. Sgt. Pepper is a very good album but Rubber Soul and Revolver are better. Sgt. Pepper gets four stars.
good
Classic groundbreaking album obviously, and one I have loved since childhood. However we do need to acknowledge that Within You Without You is bad, and Fixing A Hole, Getting Better and Good Morning, popular and singalong though they may be, are little more than filler.
Started great, lull in the middle (sorry), saved by when I'm 64 towards the end 🤣
Speels, diep creatief
The Beatles, and especially this LP, are almost beyond criticism. Music was never the same afterwards, ground-breaking, all-time classics, inventive and awesome, etc etc etc. You've heard it all before. But life has moved on, and the ground-breaking impact of St Pepper has been slightly lost. Yes, it was pushing the boundaries in 1967, and most of the songs are undoubted Five Star Classics, but some of the album is actually quite skippable.
Since my entries aren't history reports this isn't an automatic 5. I do enjoy some of the songs, but on a second listen some are a bit repetitive and overstay their welcome
Easily my favorite Beatles album. Just some good experimentation, which led to even better things. But front to back, a great listen.
The only album the Beatles didn’t use Houmous and Chutney in production. No wonder it was such a flop. 4.0 3/13 Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
Obviously there are some classics on here but it’s not very memorable overall and the “concept album” idea feels random.
Probably one of the best sequenced albums I’ve ever listened to it feels like each song has its own world. A lot of these songs have a surprising intimate quality as well with a lot being about the daily lives of subjects or the view of their world. It’s quite a master work, but I feel some songs do draw on for too long or feel not as heavy hitting as some of the other tracks on here. Still an amazing record. Fav tracks: sgt peppers lonely hearts club band, with a little help from my friends, getting better, she’s leaving home, good morning good morning, and A day in the life
Grand extravagant opening that leads into Ringo's I have friends song? It's a banger but the entire marching band aesthetic the album is designed around is completely limited to one song and the album cover. Bordering on 3 honestly
9 keepers out of 13 (69%) 1 banger [A Day in the Life] (8%) 4 stars
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this album. For me it's close to a 5 but there were a couple songs on here that I didn't enjoy much.
I prefer revolver, Abbey road and rubber soul but this is good as well. A day in the life alone brings the album up by a point for me 4/5
Obviously a classic album that combines very creative new approaches to making albums with a solid set of classic rock songs.... and some clearly weaker tracks.
Halfway through I thought this will be an album which won't really open up to you before subsequent listenings, but I was definetely wrong, I enjoyed this
Iconic. Nuff said.
Classic for a reason but I just don't like the Beatles.
*I still prefer Revolver but this is a great album. *With a Little Help From My Friends is a great song but some of the songs on the B side get to be a bit of a slog with slower tempos
Rico disco, buenos temas y a day in the life es un temardo. Sape
Everything about this album; the concept, the arrangements, the artwork, it's cultural impact, makes it a classic... well, almost. There's a lot of bonafide great tracks, but I just don't connect enough with the bits of fluff on here to make it a 5 star masterpiece.
Divertido, flashero, no tan largo. Un 4 ideal. Nota: 4.0
Heard before?:❌️/✔️(not entirely) Will listen again?:✔️ 4.5
I listened to this album a few times prior to this growing up and more critically as part of a review club with some friends. I gave the album a 7.5 at the time noting that I thought it dragged on and that it wasn't particularly interesting. I mentioned that it wasn't an album I could see myself compelled to re-listen to. That last sentiment was true but I don't know if I agree with the other criticisms. Listening now I see why it was such a landmark album, it starts with a strong first 4 tracks that no doubt stood above the rest of the music landscape at the time. The positivity that this album is drenched in feels like a sick joke in the year 2026 but despite the dogshit dogass last 10 years, this album's joy manages to be infectious. Even songs that I might consider "filler" like "Being For The Benefit Of Mr.Kite!" manage to be sonically interesting enough to feed that little muscle in my ear that yearns for something novel. I think I'd adjust my rating to something closer to a light 8. I'm still, unfortunately, fogged by the fact that I didn't listen to this in the more limited soundscape of the time and many bands I grew up on were HUGELY inspired by this album. Final note - The ending track fucks, it's such a journey and while I'm usually a grump about tracks longer than 3 minutes, this one is well worth it.
Wow This is an extremely strong 4
The highs hit the heavens but there’s some filler here.
Hilarious that this came up right after Zappa’s We’re Only In It For The Money which had an album cover announcing the piss taking intention of the creator by way of piss taking this album cover. It is hard to hate on the Beatles when you listen to album aftwr album and end up singing along to half the tunes. So i tried listening to this and jusging as a whole album and in comatiaon to other Beatles albums in twanof whether is it five star, four star, etc. One if my favorite songs is on this, She’s leaving home. But overall i find the vaudeville stageshowy songs that seem to be every second or third song between the singalongs to be distracting and a bit annoying. They have form for this but Revovler, for example, doesnt play like this. Was also listening, as I do often to the bass/drums foundation of what is essentially a rock n roll band. I dont subscribe to Ringo being a bad drummer. He’s a limited drummer, but largely keeps it very simple which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But the bass and drums are too in synch on the beat, lack interplay. Either Ringo is a great bass player for a drummer or McCartney a great drummer for a bass player. Listening at that level, its a bit empty and all bells and whistles. That said, there is an undeniable brilliance in their hools and melodies. They knew how to write a hit. Overall, I get that they may have been breaking ground with the concept album and experimenting where others didnt on new ways of recording and new effects but for mine, for a five star album it should stand the test of time and i am not sure this quite reaches that height.
It's the Monkees! I mean the Beatles, and we're getting... Eastern?
Feel good au possible
mis hot cakes: no tendría el estatus que tiene si la portada no estuviera tan perra. la cara b es significativamente mejor que la a. está chafa que se le atribuya tanto la idea del disco concepto cuando el concepto literal es "somos otra banda xd"
Love the Beatles however this is not my favourite album. A few songs are too psychedelic for me. 4.0
Stg Pepper's lonely hearts club is a good song With a little help from my friends is also fun. Getting better is also really good. Potentially a 4 star album I did not enjoy within you without you Good album I understand the impact of the beattles now
Classic Beatles sound and some really catchy tunes. Not as notable as others both in popularity and enjoyment. I’d say not for everyone, but very in like the weird niche style that I enjoy.
Half these songs are crazy, half these songs are good. Loses a star for the animal noises
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was my very first favorite song. When I was in first grade, I started taking organ lessons, and I demanded this be the first thing I learn.
album gets you hyped up!
I knew quite a few of the songs on this album previously, having studied three of them in school. Fav song is ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’.
Four stars. I think with a stronger middle section we would be up to 5 but I think it cools off during this section. I respect the idea of doing something different but I can't really do with Within You Without you... VERY GOOD, but just below 5.
I get why people (including Johs) were getting horny for this back in the day. Still, not my favourite band though I do enjoy it once in a while Highlights: well, the album is chock-full of bangers tbf, but to me it's gotta be She's Leaving Home and A Day in the Life If I have to be brutally honest, I am (and have always been) of the belief that Beatles have had their time in the sun and that their legacy is being kept alive artificially through anecdotes, personal (fading) memories, and of course their enormous impact on what once were - and what is no more. Today, it's good; back then, it was unbelievable, incredible and unlike anything seen before. I'm reviewing in the present day, I have almost no actual connection to the band, and therefore this is a decent: 3.8 Hey, that's still a 4 in my book. Just saw a review saying that this album is a great album in the same way Pac-Man was a great game. That kinda summarises it perfectly
Très cool! Les Beatles ça passe ou ça casse avec moi mais là j'ai trouvé la majorité des pistes plutôt chouettes
I have listened to this album multiple times, thinking, “why do other ppl say this is the Beatles best?” This question is still not entirely answered to me after this re-listen, which is okay. Yet, when Lucy in the Sky starts to play, I remember what it meant to listen to the Beatles for the first time. A good feeling. Getting Better sounds great too. Fuck, she’s leaving home’s strings are so elegant. Whole song is perfectly arranged and a true heartbreaker. Swapping to the B-side and immediately listening to within you without you must’ve been an unreal reaction. I don’t think I’ve exactly perceived this song, nor what George Harrison is trying to say, still it’s beautiful. I wanna love the next three songs that follow, but all I have a cheap compliments, they just aren’t it for me. A Day in the Life was one of the first songs I learned on guitar. It’s a bit of an epic. I love John’s haunting verses and aahs in the background. Royal Albert hall. I like how you can hear the count in the crescendo. Great album! There are better Beatles 😋
4/5 Favorite Song: Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite
This LP released when I was about 1.5 years old. I'm reflexively resistant to this album, not because I don't think it's good. I get the genius and innovation of it. And I don't think it sucks at all, obviously it's great. I grew up in the shadow of Boomer music so I kinda roll my eyes at Boomer classics, even though I enjoy a lot of them. 1st rendition I ever heard of Lucy In the Sky w/Diamonds was Elton John's, and that's the one I like. Also, I prefer Wings over the Beatles. Having said that, the tracks I like are Sgt. Pepper, w/A Little Help from My Friends, Getting Better, Fixing A Hole, Good Morning Good Morning, & A Day In the Life. My favorites are Good Morning & Fixing A Hole. I appreciate the innovation of the album.
The album I've been waiting on. A classic that I've just never heard, but knew was coming eventually. I have to say this album had a high bar for me to meet and boy did the Beatles leap over that bar with ease.
I liked
The girl with colitis goes by
A great classic and showcase of variety from such an iconic group. Not my favorite Beatles album but lots of great songs. Some weird, very experimental sections contrasting with nice melodic vocals and instrumentation.
Everything by the Beatles is great
Great instrumentation, exciting concept, stellar sound. I especially enjoyed some of the cool basslines. What is keeping it from being a true 5/5 in my eyes is the lack of outstanding singles. With a Little Help From My Friend and Lucy are classics, but they are nowhere near the Beatles' best work. Good listen nonetheless.
very fifty fifty on this one
Classic, not every song blew me away. Last track is the best.
Hmmm wonder what I had to say about this during my class, also first Beatles album of this at like 160 in. its fun, they earned the right to make silly songs about getting high, let me have it ya know. 4
I was struck by how much Within You Without You reminded me of Gorillaz’s Orange County motif. Not a connection I would have thought to make. Some of the sound effects are chaotic in a way I have come to associate with the later Beatles sounds. I can imagine parents of the time calling it a headache. It’s hard to rate a Beatles album, especially when it is such an iconic album. I haven’t ever listened to it all the way through but I found, as expected, that I knew a fair few.
This is definitely the most interesting Beatles album I've gotten so far. There were some interesting songs in there, like Lucy In The Sky which I already loved. The sound is interesting especially for 1967, and it sound so, so much better than their old stuff.
Kæmpe album som ændrer på albummet som format i sin helhed. Det er collage agtig med mange forskellige genre og hyldester til tidligere musikhistorie. Det har åbenbart også vundet priser fra sit albumcover som afspejler det. Det var noget med at man først spillede koncerter og indspillede plader efter af hvad jeg kan forstå? men det ændrede det her på. Det ændrede det hele med at albums ikke kun var samlinger af singler, men fortæller en gennemgående historie. Så jeg kan godt forstå det har stor historisk betydning som jeg værdsætter, men omvendt så værdsætter jeg det bare heller ikke helt nok
519/1089 - Jesus! That 15kHz tinnitus dog whistle after "A Day in the Life" absolutely destroyed my ears (not to mention the aleatoric horror strings). As cool and innovative as this album is, I'm not huge on a lot of the music on it. There are cool moments like the circus noises on "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" and songs like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and stuff. Overall, Revolver is my favorite Beatles album.
Right, another Beatles. I normally just can't get into them, so let's try to find something here. Love the bass tone in With a Little Help from My Friends. And it is catchy which I like. Probably so far this is the most sonically cohesive Beatles album I've heard. There is definitely a style throughout - a folksy pop-rock filtered with a tinge of psychedelia. It's Getting Better is interesting - initially sounds like a positive message, but followed up with 'it couldnt be any worse'. Ooh, and a sitar/indian influence drops in there in It's Getting Better Comes out fully on Within You Without You Ha then onto When I'm Sixty-Four. Cheers Paul. It's like things built up to the full spiritual Indian nirvana, then we're back to mundanity with When I'm Sixty-Four Not much is standing out but it is overall more consistent and well-executed than other Beatles albums on this list. 2nd Sgt Pepper's song has a great rock sound. Love that intro, drums hit so cleanly and crisply, like a 90s track. A Day in the Life also sounds pretty modern - almost Oasis-like (yes I know Oasis copied the Beatles) Best track - Within You Without You, Good Morning, Sgt Peppers Reprise, A Day in the Life 4 - just squeaked a 4: cohesive but varied, interesting but with some accessible tunes and hooks. The first of five Beatles albums to get a 4 from me
Always a classic.
The concept doesn't last long. Probably for the best, loads of great songs on here. Imagine if they had left Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane on it! Oddly on this listen, the misses bug me more. Not my favourite Beatles, but up there! 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes, 85/329 (25%) Will I get: Already have
Bangers galore!! One does forget their insane ability to write songs.
Paul McCartney takes 1 hit of acid and starts making circus music. We start with a few 10/10 hits (Sgt Pepper's, Help from My Friends, Lucy). Then, every other song surprised me with how much I disliked them. What is it about LSD that made them want to use so much tuba? And then, like magic, the album ends with Day in the Life, the best song they every wrote and one of the best songs of all time. 4 stars.
Hmmm ok beatle
I’m behind so I’m going to drunkenly review a bunch of albums #1. I like this album. It’s probably my favourite Beatles album. But have I ever listening to it with my friends? Has this ever been the soundtrack to good times? No. It’s edgy children’s music
I did enjoy the show with a little help from my friend, Lucy. Upbeat, lively and o liked how the songs had different melodies but somehow they all came together and made sense.
I do love Sgt. Pepper, but it’s not my favorite Beatles album by far and I’ve always felt it’s a little overrated in their catalog.
Fyrri helmingur helvíti sterkur, restin ágæt.
Great album but one too many McCartney Granny songs for my liking
Compared to the last Beatles album I listened to, this is much better. However, it still feels like something is missing, maybe in the mastering (as would make sense for a '67 album) or just the seamlessness in general. Overall, enjoyable listen, 4/5.
I mean it’s one of their best. But there are a few on here I don’t know about. I don’t know why Within you without you is placed where it is and why it’s even here. It doesn’t fit with the album at all. 🤷♂️. A day in the life is an excellent finisher tho.
Alright, aged a bit now
One of the better weirder ones upon reflection. Makes me think of my dad!
Classic!
Good
quite fun! i would listen to this again
not sure o got the hype
I've said before that I have never been a big fan of post Revolver Beatles. I attribute this to growing up listening to the red double album compilation which goes until 1966. Listening to Abbey Road didn't change my feelings on the Beatles post Revolver (even though I did enjoy that record) and Sgt. Pepper didn't change those feelings either. This is not to say I didn't enjoy this record, I did. It opens with three all timers and closes with one as well. The tracks in between don't detract from the rest of the album even when they get experimental. I just prefer earlier Beatles albums. If I was ranking the 4 Beatles albums I've heard so far this would be number 4 just below Abbey Road. But it was still a fun and enjoyable listen. 4/5
RATING: 8/10 HIGHLIGHT: She’s Leaving Home LOWLIGHT: For the Benefit of Mr Kite
The engineers are the true heroes of this album, listening in stereo is a treat. Paul has the weakest performance. Him being dead and replaced by a body double is a more interesting concept than whatever they were doing with a marching band.
I've never heard the album before, knew only a few songs. It was interesting to hear for sure, I liked most of it.
Obviously this is a very good album. It does happen to have many of the Beatles songs that I'm most tired of. The title track/reprise, "With A Little Help From My Friends", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "A Day in the Life", etc. Classic, but usually a skip for me. Then there's some stuff that's just fine. "She's Leaving Home", "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite", etc. "Getting Better" is an excellent song. "Fixing a Hole" is pretty solid too. I love "When I'm Sixty-Four", "Lovely Rita", and "Good Morning Good Morning" too. I guess I'm listening to the 2009 remaster and the production feels a little hollow to me. It's your classic Beatles production where you cannot listen to only one headphone and properly hear the song, of course. It just feels a little sparse/lacking to me at times. Overall a very good album, but definitely not one of my favorite Beatles albums.
Highlights: Day In The Life, Fixing A Hole, With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Getting Better and She’s Leaving Home. 4.5
Super fun listen, I've always wanted to go through a few Beatles albums considering how much I idolize them. I love the playful, almost jolly vibe that it has. I've always loved the album cover as well, for a world famous album it lives up to its name. Though it's acapella and leading lines are very "classically attractive" I find it a bit lacking in catchiness. Every time I finish a song it tends to leave my mind. I enjoy it, but I don't believe it to be perfect, or even as good as this critically acclaimed album is. I enjoy it, but not THAT much. I'd say it's a generous 4/5, if not a 3.5/5.
A really fun album with a variety of tracks.
AMAZING ALBUM. Some of the Beatles coolest / weirdest work. However some songs yk me are definitely lacking than others in the album. Although this album did change music forever, I would not say it’s the Beatles best work. Mad respect to this album. Would be a 4.8 if I could do .’s lol
I appreciate the Beatles and what they did for music more than I like their actual songs. But this is still good.
Listened on vinyl
Ah well, it’s a day in the life… So ostensibly I listened to this album in the womb. And then I remember debating the strengths and weaknesses of Sgt. Pepper’s vs. Abbey Road with a playmate when I was… five, six? Of course we were really just imitating our parents. But the thing is, how can you be objective about an album or band like that? Because when I AM objective, this album annoys me for the most part. And I don’t believe it’s particularly well composed. I don’t think any of the Beatles albums are. We just love them BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEATLES. But… well, they get a 4, I’m not musing about it anymore today… Boolean: yes, is it possible not to?
It's a colourful and experimental album that I really enjoyed. I'm hoping that by the end of this list I'll be a Beatles superfan but I'm not there yet. It's a very nice selection of tracks and I respect the direction they have gone in for this one. Favourites: Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds Getting Better Lovely Rita A Day in The Life
This album really shows how much The Beatles love India, but I feel like it doesn’t really hit the same heights as their other stuff. Like there are obviously a lot of really amazing songs on here, but it just doesn’t hit the same. It’s definitely still worth revisiting though, these guys were at the peak of their game around here. Favorites: With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!
It's the Beatles
Ei lemppari Beatles albumi mutta onhan tämä mahtavaa musaa
Holy shit i didn't realise how many bangers are from this album. Literally sat vibing to the whole album and before i knew it it was over. Instant add to library. Relistened immediately. 4/5
La primera vez que escucho el album completo. Lo disfruté bastante
A bit like Pet Sounds this has always seemed like more a feat of studio trickery than a musical achievement. On its terms it's good, but the trickery is no longer very impressive leaving behind a relatively mediocre set of songs for their catalogue, with a couple of exceptions most notably A Day in the Life, which is obviously an all time great song. For a Beatles album this is three stars, but for an album on this list I'd give it four
Awesome kevertjes, toch beetje te veel van hetzelfde op den duur
My first beatles album, I liked it very much. Lucy in the sky, she's leaving home, good morning good morning, and now that I look back at it, Within you Without you stuck with me especially. But, God damn, this album is ALMOST 60 YEARS OLD
hopefully “oops I beat my wife, haha well I’m doing better now =)” will continue aging worse and worse with time
It's a great album. But it's mostly boring to me. The only true banger is Day in the Life. That song gets the whole album to a 4 because it's one of the best of all time in my personal opinion.
The famous songs are famous for a reason. The songs I managed to never hear in my first three decades of life are also never played for a reason. More sitar, please!!
Pretty good!
Honestly I know that a lot of people say that The Beatles are the best band to ever exist, but I don't really agree. I enjoy some of their music but I don't know if I respect all of it or respect the people really that much. I do enjoy the sitar a lot which I have found they include a lot in their albums, so this album is fun. There is also some interesting storytelling that I can appreciate.
Great album, don’t listen to the beatles much but this is a great one to start with.
Middle of the album kinda drags but A Day in the Life is maybe the best Beatles song
Ooooooh. Tricky. Very tricky. No arguments from me at all that it has a place on the list - it absolutely ticks all of those boxes. For my individual rating though, it's all a bit too incoherant for me. Some absolute genius level tracks - title track, Lucy - and some totally baffling dross - 64 etc. Compared to another of the "drugs really help you create a Top 10 for enternity album " for example - Rumours - there is not a weak track on that thing. Lots of umming-and-ahhhhing I think it has to be a 4 star. Cultural impact - 5, some tracks - 5, the other tracks - 2/3 at best.
I tend to dislike the "silly" or, I guess psychedelic, Beatles songs and this album has a few of those. But as a whole it did not overwhelm me with them and they fit nicely into the concept. A Day in the Life is so sublime and probably my favorite on here. But I also loved Fixing a Hole and When I'm Sixty Four. Lucy in the Sky and With a Little Help are classics of course as well. Long live Sgt. Pepper!
Definitely one the best Beatles albums, cool production and most songs here are pretty memorable
Often overlooked from my Beatles collection but listening to this end to end surprised me in a positive way. Some of it is out there, but at its core it’s still a really talented set of musicians. Faves are: “with a little help from my friends”, “getting better”, “when I’m 64”
хорошенький, но мне не сильно зашел самый прикольный трек — a day in the life
It starts off good, but sometime near the middle it goes down. I just can't get into the Beatles. Not hard enough to rock (expect the start), not experimental enough to prog, not pleasant enough to pop. On the other hand, I can see why someone would like it. I'm the same way about sushi and you cannot change me. A great album, nevertheless.
Solid, experimental, and thoroughly enjoyable listen
Yeah, it’s definite classic but it’s kinda worn out. That’s not fair to them, but I don’t just ready to listen to some other stuff. It’s great. It’s great. It’s five stars, but I’m giving it four
This has one of my favourite Beatles tracks but there's also some lows because I think what's nostalgic for them isn't nostalgic for me.
Rigitg godt som helhed, kunne have undværet When I'm 64, selv med throw-back til Ullas engelsktimer.
tremendos fits. Lucy in the sky with diamonds Getting better She’s leaving home Being for the benefit of Mr K When I’m sixty four Lovely Rita
It's very good, but somehow overrated anyways, because this is NOT the best album ever made. Still quite good though.
It opens with the lively intro track, with lots of guitars and rousing instrumentation. Perfect way to begin such a bold record, then seamlessly transitions into "with a little help from my friends" which is one of my favorite Ringo songs. It's a lovely piano led tune with extremely singable lyrics, just makes you feel good once you listen. Right after this is the trippy "lucy in the sky", a psychedelic song about... well you would think LSD since the lyrics are very abstract and trippy, but Lennon denied the connection thoroughly. A fun song overall. "It gets better" follows this one, much in the vein of the former track this is a jaunty tune with a feel good message and catchy chorus. I personally couldn't help but scoff at the lyric about beating his wife, but trying to get better and learning to not to it anymore.. considering Lennon's domestic abuse habits.. A little down the tracklist you get "she's leaving home" which is honestly a pretty emotional track about a young girl running away. It's short, but the instrumentation and delivery are wonderful and worth noting. "Benefit of mr kite" is an odd tune about a circus act, and thematically the instrumental is very zany and circusy as well. It's mixed a bit oddly however and kinda makes the tune a bit mushy. Another good example of this is with the song "good morning" as well. "Within you without you" is another Sitar led song, much like the one from Revolver. This tune is more serene and drug induced than the previous track, though still just as interesting to listen to. You've got a couple more cute songs, "when I'm 64" ponders about life as an old person, "lovely rita" is a fun love song about a meter maid. The album closes with a reprise of the intro-track, which leads right into the wonderful "day in a life". A masterful tune that paints such vivid imagery and atmosphere with it's music. The Beatles have made it very clear that they were a force to be reckoned with on Revolver, and here with Sgt. Pepper, they bolster that reputation with a record that knows how to have fun and take risks. A few production duds here and there in the tracklist keep this record from beating revolver, just marginally so. I would still recommend this record to anyone looking for a wholeheartedly fun record to listen to.
For a Beatles album it's surprisingly listenable, and it's saying a lot, since I genuinely despise the Beatles.
With a Little Help From My Friends, Getting Better, When I'm Sixty Four stood out. Couple songs away from a 5. 4.5/5
Ehkä kovin albumin avaus ikinä; huikea NIMIraita ja luulot pois heti kärkeen. Hyvällä tavalla röyhkeä albumin avaus. Liuta myös muita erinomaisia raitoja kuten A day in the life, Getting better ja She’s leaving home. Ihan lopussa tunnelma vähän lässähtää erityisesti biiseissä Within you without you ja Lovely Rita. Kokonaisuutena kuitenkin erinomainen Beatles-albumi. Miksaus ja tuotanto erinomaista, nautinto kuunnella kuulokkeilla, paljon nyansseja ja dynamiikkaa. Oletan, että pieteetillä ja älyttömillä resursseilla tehty albumi. Rumpalina täytyy ihailla Ringon soittoa läpi koko albumin. Vahva 4/5
Ska innrømme at dette albumet var litt gøy! Jeg liker det, på tross av at jeg synes Beatles er oppskrytt
Haven't listened to this for a while. Fun album.
A day in the life, er min fav Beatles. Ellers er det noen dødpunkter som gjør at de ikke når helt opp.
Har aldri vært en av mine favoritter, og jeg faller ikke for gimmicken denne gangen heller. For mye av Pauls granny music, og ingen av de andre låtene sitter helt som de skal - bortsett fra A Day in the Life, så klart.
Let me get two things out of the way - it's not a perfect album and it's not my favorite Beatles album. That being said, it still blows me away and puzzles me how they were able to make something so maximalist at the time that they did. This album sounds so vast, with incredible arrangements all over this thing. Straight from the intro title track it drags you into an adventure. It's such an epic intro that sets up the concept perfectly. It's incredibly well orchestrated and super ambitious too. I love the way it transitions into With a Little Help from my Friends, which I think is my fav Beatles song. It's just so wholesome, has a beautiful chorus and I just love that they let Ringo sing it. Sgt Pepper's is in general their best written album - one when they actually put in the effort to write at least a bit conceptually and it shows. Songs like Fixing a Hole, She's Leaving Home and When I'm Sixty Four touch on some pretty universal topics and are very well written. She's Leaving Home especially, and I love the elegantly gorgeous layers of instrumentation on that song. The record also contains some of their most experimental songs like Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds or the epic closer A Day in the Life, which in many ways feels like their ultimate song. My issue comes from some of the deeper cuts, especially Good Morning Good Morning which is honestly a bit grating. I feel similarly about The Benefit of Mr Kite, which feels more like a song for a musical than a proper Beatles song. Within You Without You on the other hand kinda feels like a George Harrison deep cut from one of his later works with the influences from the hindu culture but sticks out like a sore thumb on this album. Those weaker moments prevent it from being a top Beatles album from me, but dont change the fact that it's massively influential, crazy ahead of its time and very very good.
A really good concept album! Classic for a reason
Lowkey revolutionary.
One of the more experimental albums by the Beatles. They have a few really great, memorable tracks but some of them are very much out there. I do appreciate what they're doing here but not every track resonates with me.
4/5 Album
Haven't listened to The Beatles in a hot minute, but overall this album still holds up as 60s psychedelic classic. Losing my mind though at the John Lennon wife-beating lyric on "Getting Better". 8/10.
8/10
Interesting album by a unknown band
Decent 4,5
Great stuff. 4.3/5.
C'est très très bon mais c'est pas un top album pour moi
There's Waldo.
The best album of all time, per the 20th-century canon. This is an outstanding album indeed, but it is not a perfect record. Listening to it nearly 60 years after its original release date may decrease its societal impact, but the first commandment for a great album is to stand the test of time. And, sadly, it does not surpass it entirely.
Obviously a well played familiar classic. Still holds up fantastically well
Props to the fifth Beatle George Martin for the production on this one. Very innovative for the time and still sounds fantastic today.
I mean, it's the beatles Favorite song: a day in the life
simplemente los beatles, catedra de musica
Amazing album but not their best. Some favorite songs and definitely some interesting tracks. Loved When I'm Sixty-Four.
No están tan mal los beatles
Hard for me to deny even with the cheesiness. It's quite a body of work.
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
Some memorable songs for sure but then they drop in silly ones and I just want to move on…
What I think is the 2nd best Beatles album behind Abbey Road.
Definitely a 5 star start to the album, back half struggles a bit
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.
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.
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.
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.
Toll catchy
Bonàs vibras
What a band, what an album. Would be a 5/5 if not for within you without you.
Good album, love Rubber Soul more.
I like the white album better but this is still decent
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.
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.
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**
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
Obviously amazing.
The essence of the time, every bit as weird as it is rad
es como un esponteneo worship en la india, en medio de la calle.
Yeah really good, a bit whimsical in places but better than the White Album, not as good as Abbey Road.
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.
Reminds me of "Under Covers - Frank Popp Ensemble" featuring a song by whitey.
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.
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.
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.
