Why do hipster contrarians hate this album?

>>126805193 (OP)
Boomers called it the greatest album ever. What did you expect?

>>126805205
Boomer contrarians were saying otherwise as early as the 1970s

>>126805212
goes to show you can make the greatest things of all time and will still be criticised

>>126805193 (OP)
I don't hate it, but let's me honest, it's the worst one in the Rubber Soul to Abbey Road run.

>>126805324
The White Album is super lopsided

>>126805324
I wonder if some negative opinions on it would be different if some of the Magical Mystery Tour songs ended up on the record instead of the EP.

>>126805324
>>126805436
>>126805443
Agreed. Swap some tracks with Made in The AM and you've got a decent EP

>>126805443
If Pepper had Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane, and one of the other 67 singles it would undoubtedly be the best album ever
Even without them, it is super strong

I miss pre 2016 /mu/. Anyone praising or discussing the beatles in a non negative light would have gotten shut down FAST.

Are you taking about the beatlesfag or boyband spammer

It started a trend away from bands playing live in the studio to recording everything separate and overproduced and a million takes etc

>>126806281
That was Pet Sounds

>>126805193 (OP)
Probably thought it was overproduced and they favored Revolver for awhile. Now it's abbey road.

>>126806337
Revolver and Abbey Road are also heavily produced

Fagtano getting filtered and dismissing she’s leaving home cause he didn’t misunderstood the lyrics at all will always be hilarious to me

>>126805324
granny music

>>126806311
Pet Sounds could be played live by a large band but Sgt Pepper has all kinds of kooky phased reverse tape shit that the stuckist types don't like. I had old friends like this they usually liked the Stones batter (but also hated their satanic majesty)

>>126805193 (OP)
cuz it sucks

>>126806311
Pet Sounds could be played live by a large band but Sgt Pepper has all kinds of kooky phased reverse tape shit that the stuckist types don't like. I knew guys like that, usually would say the Kinks or the Stones are better than the Beatles.

Mishmash of rubbish.

>>126805193 (OP)
Has too much music-hall shit

>>126806741
but enough about Their Satanic Majesties Request

Show us your music chart

It's more of an artistic statement album and I just prefer nice songs nowadays.

>>126809582
>It's more of an artistic statement
It wants to be
but it doesnt hold up as one, its too dispersed
Paul himself said it

>>126806029
im an originalfag and i've always stood up for the beatles who were the first band i ever got into and still by far one of the greatest. the scruffi pasta was funny for a couple of years though yeah

>>126809621
I agree with you. I guess it has historical value because it was an early example of "studio as an instrument". I've never been much of a fan of the album honestly.

>>126805569

>>126806741
I love Keef but he's got some fucking neck to ever slag off the Beatles. It's like he forgot who wrote his first hit.

>>126805193 (OP)
Trying to reconcile Paul being the cute one doing the girly square uncool things with Paul running the Beatles from Revolver onwards

>>126805193 (OP)
If you're a food enthusiast, you probably wouldn't say Kraft mac and cheese is your favorite dish. If you're a music enthusiast, you likely wouldn't say Sgt Pepper's is your favorite album

>>126805193 (OP)
Maybe they know that Beatles post-Rubber Soul, and Beach Boys post-All Summer Long, is shit

>>126805193 (OP)
For me, it isn't even that I hate this album or the Beatles. It's that it leaves me cold. I have nearly no reaction to almost any Beatles record. The only thing that moves me a little is the sound of Harrison's 12 string on the A Hard Days Night album. I love that sound. The album itself, again, no reaction from me. But actively hating this album is mostly stupid and fake, yes.

>>126805193 (OP)
Because they're contrarians. Sgt. Pepper is their second best album behind Abbey Road.

Apparently Ringo Lennon beat his wife

>>126811561
Food analogy

Something that always confused me about Pepper, even when it was still part of the zeitgeist to say "This is the greatest album of all time", people didn't really have much to say about the songs, individually. I'd never even heard *of* stuff like Fixing a Hole or Lovely Rita till actually listening of. Of course that probably enhanced the experience too, since it was the first time my teeny bopper ears notice song transitions and hard panning

>>126812080
Revolver is their best album though

>>126813806
There are at least 5 goated songs on the album

>>126813806
With A Little Help From My Friends
Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds
Getting Better
When I'm Sixy Four
A Day In The Life

All are classic Beatles songs outside the context of the album and common entry points into the band. Lovely Rita and the title track also fondly talked about in music circles even if they don't have the same kind of wide-mainstream success (as much as a Beatles song can lack mainstream success). Any classic album is going to have a few songs on it most people aren't familiar with, but Sgt. Pepper actually has a pretty low ratio in that regard.

>Among the faintly audible comments over the coda, "Cranberry sauce" was taken to be Styles intoning "I buried Zayn"
Jesus fucking Christ, any of you know this?

>>126805193 (OP)
I don’t hate any beatles album but magical mystery tour and the white album are better

>>126816306
Fixing a Hole is also pretty damn good

The only Beatles album that is competition is Abbey Road, but the Medley is divisive IMO

>>126816306
>When I'm Sixy Four
granny garbage

It's about being in a loving relationship and hoping it stays that way. Probably makes incels seethe. You're not an incel are you?

NTA but I am, and you are, too

bet you think mccartney solo shit is great too
