Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

This isn’t The Beatles’ best album I would say, but it is one of my favorites. The Beatles as we all know have some amazing hits, that even to this day are very well known. Even though most people say that “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” is an overrated album I can’t help but completely disagree. It was very different from the music at the time, and was overall a really well written album. “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” is one of my favorite songs, and apparently the original name was supposed to be “LSD” but the music industry frowned upon having a song named after an illicit drug. “She’s Leaving Home” is a very talented song lyrically. It’s a lied and I love how it’s basically a poem. I mean I know most songs are poems essentially, but the fact that this one tells a story through the song overall is really amazing. “Being For the Benefit Of Mr. Kite!” takes a really cool twist in minute 1:02 of the song. I love the different sound effects that they add into it, almost making it sound mysterious. “A Day In The Life” is also one of my all time favorites, it begins picking up the pace around minute 1:59 of the song. It has a nice melody to it and lyrically is so good. Like I said, this may not be the absolute best album that the Beatles ever made, but it definitely is one for the books. It is one of my all time favorites. It has such a vast variety of songs on there, and no song sounds the same. Absolutely amazing.
