The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)

December 5, 2024

Drugs. That’s how I would describe this: Revolver with more drugs. The Indian instrumentation is ramped up, as is the songs about seemingly random shit. It sounds great, though. Production, again with the silly panning of shit, is off the chart. In amongst the madness there are “regular songs” to keep the album grounded. I’m not sure why the album seems to close with a reprise and then comes back with one more song afterward? Could just be the version / remaster I heard but it flows better opening and closing with the same theme. Just my two cents, but hey, I’m just a random guy, they are the fucking Beatles.
