Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Beatles
It’s a good album front to back. I don’t find myself enjoying every track as much as Abbey Road, but I don’t find Sgt Pepper’s annoying as I do with Magical Mystery Tour, which leads to a conclusion of 4 stars.

This is like if a guy who does David Bowie covers decided to release an album but didn’t want to drop the Bowie impersonation. It’s not unbearable, it just doesn’t hit me as something special by any means.

It's actually a pretty good album. I just can't get over how this jackwagon dances around on stage in front of the mic. The whole album plays while I imagine him flailing his arms around and knocking his knees together. I don't want to like the album for this reason. But I also can't get over the fact that this album just feels fun.

It’s fine. It’s not her later or live stuff, which is phenomenal. I think it’s higher than 3 stars, but 4 feels like too much.

This gives me sort of Social Distortion vibes, but I can’t get along with it. It feels like this is your buddy’s sister’s band in high school and everyone is just going to see them because they’re hot. It’s not really objectively bad on any level, I’m just not really moved by it in any way.

It's a good album to bop around to. I struggle to give it a 4 since there's hardly anything memorable on the album. I can see this playing in the background really anywhere and not disturbing the vibe. 3 feels low. I really wish this was out of 10 since a 7/10 feels just about right.

If you go into this expecting the Beatles, you’re going to come out disappointed. It’s very laid back, however. It seems like some of the material could have used some polishing before recording, but that’s also part of the charm.

It feels like an album full of ideas that just weren't fleshed out. The mix feels muddy at times. The bass player absolutely carries the album, but that only goes so far. I thought this was going to be a promising one when the 1st song was playing, but there's a lot of nothing going on in this album.

An album that I never thought to listen to because I figured Seven Nation Army was the one trick this pony could pull. I was wrong. It's a cool album that definitely shows their influences in 70s rock and blues. I can also see the influence of the White Stripes in bands from later on in the 2000s. Very cool.

This is like a 3.5 star album. I wish there was some sort of theme/style similarity throughout the album, but there just isn't. The random stye jumps are interesting and make for an album that doesn't have any skips, but there's no real cohesiveness that would have me coming back regularly. Not a disappointing one, just felt random. Like if I had ADHD and decided to just create a random playlist.

She has an amazing voice. This album is littered with hits, but it's way more of a pop album than I wanted (I don't know why I expected otherwise). I guess I was hoping for soul? A 3 feels too low, but I don't think this is quite a 4? I guess that will do, though.
