What to say about this that hasn't been said already? I appreciate the experimentation here, but the tunes, other than Day In The Life And Within You, are pretty much nursery rhyme levels of sophistication. I do like lots of what the The Beatles recorded, but couldn't imagine sitting down to listen to this through as an album by choice, except as a document of the time. It's very silly.

I came close to refusing to listen. How many times do you need to hear Pepper to accept that it's half decent? But I gave in, hoping to hear something new. I can always come back to the White Album, Abbey Road, even Let It Be. But I'm not sure that Pepper has the long lasting quality. It's more of a project than a tight rock 'n' roll album. She's Leaving Home still gets me.
