Explain your love or hate or general feelings on this record. Its not my favorite, and i feel that this record isn't as amazing and out there as people claim it to be. Revolver was sound wise more interesting and diverse, and i like the song writing on that record more. Though, the production with the tape loops and tiny details on this record is really impressive.

With a Little Help From My Friends
Josiah Rodriguez
I don't really dislike any songs off this album. Good Morning Good Morning and Within You Without You are the weak links. The Beatles had many better albums (and the Beatles solo as well).
I just feel like the album's pop melodies are more syrupy than all of their other albums here. Not a lot of emotional depth when compared with Abbey Road, Let It Be, Help!, and Revolver.

Pretty much. I prefer Paul's verse to John's too. I'm not apologizing for that shit either.
Isaac Garcia
It's the perfect album imo
Blake Phillips
It's just not very interesting at all. Quite dull and sounds very dated.

Help? That album had no emotional depth.
Landon Hall
My favorite album as a kid, I used to listen to it on vinyl because my parents had it, along with all the cardboard cutouts and stuff that came with it. I would lay down on the floor with my ear next to the stereo speaker like it was a single giant headphone. My favorite track for some reason was always Good Morning.

Their magnum opus imo, you can make a case for revolver too, as it had arguably better song writing and has also aged a lot better. But this is my personal favourite as i love the production and how grandiose and cohesive it is.

William Nguyen
if I had to choose one Beatles record, it'd be the Day Tripper / We Can Work It Out single - it's like the entire project in miniature to me
Ethan Thompson
lonerism is the sgt pepper of this generation
example:
(copy and paste into url, or skip to 0:48)
the way he sings 'she', compared to the way kevin parker sings the line "soon i'll be alone" from this this song: (copy paste or skip to around 1:17)
also, in that same song keep on lying, the guitar riff here: (skip to 4:19 if embed)
reminds me of the opening riff on this beatles song:
youtube.com
and the main guitar riff reminds me of the lick from day tripper
youtube.com
right around 2:15
one more thing, the guitar solo at 3:48 on Keep On Lying reminds me a lot of david gilmour's guitar noodling on the live version of saucerful of secrets around 1:55

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

Overall I would rank Sgt Peppers in the tier just below Abbey, White, Revolver, Rubber and MMT. It's about the same quality as Let It Be in my opinion, which is still very favourable, it's just not quite at the level of some of their other records for me. Of course an immensely important album though and I still thoroughly enjoy it.
Tyler Green
Not at all
Carter Mitchell
It's a bunch of catchy pop songs made to accompany their light-hearted comedy movie. Nothing more.
Wyatt Jones
sgt pepper and its surrounding cult sum up in microcosm the reasons why the 60s counterculture ended up such a total failure

>Revolver was sound wise more interesting and diverse
Stop this meme. This is clearly not true.
Owen Flores
It's really good, but I prefer Magical Mystery Tour.
Joseph Gomez
Based Harrison
I never got into the beatles personal lives, was he the most based one?
Andrew Wright
Pretty much, though he did get cucked hard by Eric Clapton.
Angel Carter
Well, he had a JUST period in the 70s after his divorce. Also, he was always looking for Lennon's approval, but he never really gained his respect. Besides that he was pretty based.
Lincoln Harris
its not how hard you get cucked... but how you come back from being cucked
i will always permit a man one chance to recover from a cucking... but if he becomes a cuck again... he is cuck forever
kinda the same thought, if he learnt that respect is valueless than he is based, but if he wanted to get the respect of a cuck idiot, then he is not based
let it be said, amen
Nolan Gray
One of my fav albums of all time.
"getting better"is the shit when I feel depressed.
Camden Hall
literal wife beater music
Brandon Cook
Yes, because surely he never cheated on Pattie.
Benjamin James
yeah that shit always pissed me off. also is "Run For Your Life" a joke?
Lincoln Mitchell
I never said he didn't.
Kevin Taylor
I don't think it's meant literally but I also don't think it's meant as joke.
Jackson Evans
He was also cucked by Ron Wood. Harrison cucked Ringo though.
Lucas Wright
fuck you if you don't think the Beatles pushed every envelope when it comes to production

That's odd because I think the opposite is true. Sgt Pepper had a multicolored sound and each song had it's own unique sound. Revolver was more uniform.
Jack Evans
One of my favorite albums of all time, really puts me in a good mood, I discovered that and Trout Mask Replica at the same time and that was a big moment for my interests in music and the arts. I luv it.
