4 stars Garden of many wonderful flowers that grew up as time went bye. Title rockingly riff track Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, "acoustic" song made famous by Joe Cocker - With a Little Help From My Friends (even not bad, it's overshadowed by Joe's cover version), LDS ballad (and hymn) Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, or orchestral song A Day In the Life that become some kind of title Beatles track.

Whole album is full of songs that are perfect. They're legends. After all, we're talking about The Beatles here, don't forget it. You know, everything they made, they touched (hello Midas) turned to gold. And is this really true ? Not at all, there are songs that I don't like too much, like not so smart Getting Better or Indo/Raga (whatever the name is) Within You, Without You, but that's just my opinion (and feeling of music), they're not so bad.

4(+) dear fellows, because this, even very good as a proto-prog (signs of better times are here, I know it, I can hear it) album, there are worse songs with big deal of better ones.

But this is one of these classics that everyone knows, with many listens I have sacrificed to it and was rewarded with very good music.
