Title: you had to be there when it was released
Review: ...to fully appreciate how revolutionary this record was. The advance press had everyone prepared for something out of the ordinary but Pepper was still a jaw dropper because it sounded so different from everything recorded before it. The biggest pop act in the biz ignored all conventions, including the love song, and ignored many recording and songwriting conventions in the bargain. As usual, the Beatles set the pace and everyone else worked like mad to catch up. The proof is in the songs, of course, and some people don't like the songs because the songs are generally about everyday experiences seen from new angles. Is this the greatest rock'n'roll record? To whom and who cares! It's a great record and that's good enough for me.
Is the review positive or negative?
