Negative Positive
Title: Poor Beatle bashers!
Review: Sure, Sgt. Pepper isn't a full out guitar shronk like "Are You Experience" or "Disreali Gears". Nobody ever intended it to be. What it is, however, is a marvel of artistic and technological achievement; a better album than anyone is likely to ever make on 4 track tape machines and analogue editing. With this album, the group took POP music (a much larger genre than good ol' ROCK) by the collar and yanked it abruptly into an entirely new environment, one that high brow musicologists and low brow stoners all had to acknowledge. It changed the way everyone has listened to or made pop/rock albums since. Sure, 30 years on in an era of extreme cynicism, alot of folks hear this and wonder what all the fuss was about. But rest assured, scenesters, A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW people will still be listening to and talking about this album. And we haven't even started talking about "The Velvet Underground and Nico" yet....
Is the review positive or negative?
