Music reviews of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club BandMusic Review: Hooray for a cool-eyed viewSo much has already been said that I write this merely to agree with the two reviewers who have given the album just one star. I think one star is a bit of an overstatement, but let's give it something like three stars, because after all, it is quite pleasant to listen to. Important or impressive in any way it isn't. Sure, as someone pointed out, every little thing on it was an innovation at the time, but innovation is not always great music: electronic sounds, too, are an innovation, but unless masterfully put together to say something, they're cousins of all the electronic blips your computer makes - hardly music you can't live without, methinks. Sgt. Pepper was so overhyped at the time that openly not liking it could get you physical injury from both hysterical girl fans and aesthetically offended boy fans - a situation nearly incomprehensible today, if nothing else because hysterical girls have been replaced by women with independent tastes. That's why I hail the new reviewers, who don't give a damn about the hype of yesteryear - you guys cannot imagine how ostracized you would have been back in the day. Sgt. Pepper just isn't that great an album; it is, instead, an example of what happens when you're so rich that the cost of studio time is of no consequence and you can just come in when you please, having had your gentlemantly british breakfast or something, play with toys and gadgets for a few hours, then go do something more fun and return whenever you feel like it. It's a collection of playtimes by the rich and talented, recorded for posterity. Talented, of course: we won't deny that these playtimes sound much better than my playtimes. And just to make sure we're on the same page: yes, A Day in the Life is pretty incredible. Wish the rest of the album were on that level.
