Rate Sgt. Pepper's! The Songs And The Album!

Album is a 7/10 and a letdown from the double whammy of Rubber Soul and Revolver. All songs score a 7/10 except Getting Better and Day In The Life which both score 9/10 and Within You Without you which clocks in with a 0.

 

I agree with your sentiment about Sgt Pepper's. It's a good album but it's not everything some people seem to think it is.

 

I think part of Pepper being so adored is because it was the first American Beatles album to not be altered by Capitol, and as such, it’s impact was greater.

 

You might be right.

 

original mix-all tracks 10...

gilesfied remix -1000

 

nah, IMO most of the first generation US fans did not know of the UK albums as they weren't for sale at the time or care...Capitol had nothing to do with the love for this album other than releasing it...

 

I don't dislike the remix but I never listen to it. Whenever i want to hear Sgt Pepper's I reach for the mono CD. I prefer that to all the others.

 

stereo for me. : ) Mono is OK as it's the Beatles!

 

no Beatles album is a let down..LOL ; )

 

I'm not really into mono at all. But I find Sgt Pepper's to be a completely different experience in mono than in stereo, but I like the stereo version just fine too.

 

Indeed...just wait until he ruins the White album!

 

I can dig where you are coming...: )

 

I'm using the whole 1 to 10 scale, where 5 doesn't mean terrible, but average; statistically, I assume that the average song is a 5, not a 7 like most reviewers do.

I've changed my mind since then. My ratings are still pretty close. I just don't think it's the best album of all time, however, as a whole, it is a very very good album.

 

Sgt. Pepper-The Album: 12/10

I was 10 when released. It still moves me today in profound ways. The songs mesh as an album/project/concept, and are so compelling individually as well. The album art, and whole package created by 4 supremely talented young men in their 20's shepherded by Mr. Martin.... Looked at it in that context, given the technology available to them then...we cannot be anything but amazed beyond belief.

As a 10-year old living away from a large city yet yearning to, the song Good Morning, Good Morning communicated the frantic and fun pace of life in the busy city of London... "Go to a show...you hope she goes..", and wishing beyond all reason I was there.....

This appears to be a Marmite song. For what it's worth, I'm with Joe on this one. I wouldn't have thought so when the album was first released but, with the benefit of hindsight, it's an absolutely brilliant track. George came up with something just as original as Paul and John's best work.

When I was a kid I couldn't stand the song but now I enjoy it. It's far from being my favorite George song but I definitely like it a lot more now that I'm older.

 

Kool story! Funny how life works out so perfectly sometimes.

 

Was this how the album was supposed to be originally lined up?

 

Apparently a lot of people like it but I didn't like it when I was a kid and I still don't. I think it might be a good song for a hippie funeral but little else. "It's All Too Much" would have been so much better on Sergeant Pepper and would have fit the vibe better.
