Negative Positive
Title: Sgt. Pepper
Review: There are three really great songs on here - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Sgt. Pepper (reprise), and A Day in the Life. While this is great, the rest of the album doesn't really rock.If you haven't heard this, don't expect the sound of the early Beatles that made them so popular. When I'm Sixty Four is like some ragtime number. Getting Better and Good Morning, well, are being used as commercial jingles now. Within You Without You is almost universally agreed upon as the weakest point of this album. Fixing A Hole, Lovely Rita, and the Benefit of Mr. Kite are OK, but kind of mediocre.The summary is that this album starts strong and finishes strong, but there's a huge valley in the middle on tracks 7 & 8 (Mr. Kite and Within You Without You) that is tough to get over.Biased Beatle fans give this 5-stars, which is fine, but it's really a 2 or 3 star album.
Is the review positive or negative?
