Negative Positive
Title: Over-rated
Review: For many years 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' topped nearly every single magazine Best Album list, which amazed me since 'Revolver' and 'Rubber Soul' were far superior and were usually relegated to much lower positions on these lists. But lately, music critics have realized that this is, in fact, not even close to a top-ten album.By Beatles standards, this is the second worst album they released (Abbey Road finishes dead last). While I admire the experimental recording techniques, the bulk of the songs are twee and silly. Plus, there are NO rockers on this album! At least the Stones indulged in some rock riffing on their own sub-standard psych record 'Their Satanic Majesties Request'.For some GOOD psych, research The United States of America, Love, Silver Apples, Tomorrow, Red Crayola, Hollies, Amboy Dukes, The Creation, Smoke, The Move, The Action and West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. These bands have what the Beatles failed to deliver.
Is the review positive or negative?
