If you find the Beatles to be one of the greatest bands of all time, and you value the most experimental phases of the group, then you really only have two or three choices, and <em>Sgt. Pepper’s</em> is arguably the best overall of those choices. </p><p>The title track(s) bookend the album and wrap it in a bubble. As such, it feels like the first real line is, “What would you think if I sang out of tune?"—the opening line to the second track, "With A Little Help From My Friends.” Immediately after, the album reaches its first peak in the tangerine trees of the acidic “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds." Incidentally, if you’re ever fortunate enough to see Cirque du Soleil’s <em>LOVE</em>, you’ll definitely remember this part of the show.</p><p>The record then relaxes a bit with "Getting Better” and “Fixing A Hole,” the former being one of two songs on the album that almost doesn’t fit (but does), and the latter having a psychedelic flavor without being too trippy. Then, the album gets into an overcast evening feel with “She’s Leaving Home,”
410 a song that occasionally sounds like the cousin of “Eleanor Rigby.”</p><p>The climax of the album follows with “Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite,” “Within You Without You,” and to a lesser extent, “When I’m Sixty-Four.” Strange, weird, and dense carnival sounds give “Mr. Kite” its mysterious incandescence, which sits in contrast to the flowering of the album in George Harrison’s contribution, “Within You Without You.” The instrumentation dramatically changes, the message is direct to the listener, and with an airy lilt in the vocals, you’re transported into the middle of someone’s psychedelic journey.</p><p>While you’re recovering, you’re given the playful and catchy “When I’m Sixty-Four” and “Lovely Rita.” Both of these are good McCartney songs—the former hooks a bit more strongly and the latter is more fun. “Good Morning, Good Morning” is the only song on the album that I don’t feel fits well with <em>Sgt. Pepper’s</em>, and I would have rather seen this swapped with something off <em>Revolver</em> or <em>Magical Mystery Tour</em>.</p><p>But it’s all worth it for the final track that sits on its own, outside of the bubble, “A Day In The Life.” This song just feels right. In fact, you’ll probably like it from the opening few seconds, even before you get to the somewhat ambiguous somber lyrics or the multiple sections of the song. Even though it was written by Lennon and McCartney, it appeals to the listener with qualities that span the group—from the weight of Lennon’s lyrics, to the lighter bop of McCartney’s portion, or the spatial dreamlike moments that seem very Harrison-esque between the two main sections and at the end of McCartney’s part. Even Ringo fans are likely to appreciate the simplicity of the melody.</p><p>When you think about what the Beatles were trying to tap in to with their music, this album represents a zenith, with <em>Magical Mystery Tour</em> continuing the moment somewhat, and <em>Abbey Road</em> as wonderful falling action. The band members really poured themselves into making this a great album, as it was born at a time when they were artistically agitated and ready for a change—often precursors to great creative endeavors.</p><p>//</p><p><iframe frameborder="0" height="450" style="width:100%;max-width:660px;overflow:hidden;background:transparent;" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" src="https://embed.music.apple.com/us/album/sgt-peppers-lonely-hearts-club-band/401141921?app=music&at=11l9Nu"></iframe></p></div> 411 </div><!-- End Text Post --> 412 413 414 415 416 417 418 419 420 421 422 423 424 <div class="Footer"> 425 <div class="FooterLine"></div> 426 <ol> 427 428 <li> 429 <a href="https://davidrowyn.com/post/61165049082/1-the-beatles-sgt-peppers-lonely-hearts-club" title="Date Posted"> 430 <img src="https://static.tumblr.com/ubkenek/W8Rlmyhj3/datepostedicon.png" alt="Date Posted Icon"/> 431 13th September 2013 432 </a><!-- End Date Posted Link --> 433 </li><!-- End Date Posted Wrapper --> 434 435 436 437 <li> 438 <a href="https://davidrowyn.com/post/61165049082/1-the-beatles-sgt-peppers-lonely-hearts-club" title="Notes"> 439 <img src="https://static.tumblr.com/ubkenek/Qnilmyiga/notesicon.png" alt="Notes Icon"/> 440 Notes: 4 441 </a><!-- End Notes Link --> 442 </li><!-- End Notes Wrapper --> 443 444 445 <div class="Tags"> 446 <img src="https://static.tumblr.com/ubkenek/CVXlmyivc/tagsicon.png" alt="Tags Icon"/> 447 <a href="https://davidrowyn.com/tagged/99">#99</a><a href="https://davidrowyn.com/tagged/music">#music</a><a href="https://davidrowyn.com/tagged/rock">#rock</a><a href="https://davidrowyn.com/tagged/pop">#pop</a><a href="https://davidrowyn.com/tagged/experimental">#experimental</a><a href="https://davidrowyn.com/tagged/psychedelic">#psychedelic</a> 448 </div><!-- End Post Tags --> 449 450 </ol><!-- End Post Footer --> 451 </div><!-- End Post Footer Wrapper --> 452 453 454 455 <div class="FooterBoarder"></div> 456 <!-- End Footer --> 457 458 459<ol class="notes"><!-- START NOTES --><li class="note reblog tumblelog_davidrowyn original_post without_commentary"><a rel="nofollow" class="avatar_frame" target="_blank" href="https://davidrowyn.com/" title="David Rowyn"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/avatar_332e94463528_16.pnj" class="avatar " alt="" /></a><span class="action" data-post-url="https://davidrowyn.com/post/61165049082"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://davidrowyn.com/" class="tumblelog" title="David Rowyn">davidrowyn</a> posted this </span><div class="clear"></div></li><!-- END NOTES --></ol></div><!-- End Posts --> 460 </div><!-- End Body Content --> 461 462 <div class="Pagination"> 463 <div id="TotlePages"> 464 Page 1 <span id="PageOf">of</span> 1 465 </div><!-- End Totle Pages --> 466 467 468 469 470 </div><!-- End Pagination --> 471 472 <div id="Copyright">This blog is powered by <a href="http://tumblr.com" title="Tumblr">Tumblr</a> and designed by <a href="http://cosnap.co.uk" title="The CoSnap website">CoSnap</a>.</div> 473 474 </div><!-- End Page Wrapper --> 475 476 477<iframe scrolling="no" width="1" height="1" frameborder="0" style="background-color:transparent; overflow:hidden; position:absolute; top:0; left:0; z-index:9999;" id="ga_target"></iframe>
