5 stars For me there are some "sacred monsters" in rock, prog or something. The Beatles are one of them, and to give it less than 5 stars is a profanity. But when you are dealing with Sgt Pepper it might be a double profanity, because the music (all the songs, the concept, the artwork(what about that, my friends?) and the slogan "A splendid time is guaranteed for all") worth five stars. You must think of 1967 and what it meant to music, to psychedelia, to prog and to all good things yet to come. And coming from the most proeminent band, the most talented, gave to the movement the stamp that it needed. Yeah, weird things can contain true music, you can think of an imaginary band with Sgt Pepper. smoke a cigar with Kaleidoskopic Lucy, play sytar, make love to Rita or go on a bus and fall asleep. Full of imagination. And the songs, think of that one can memorize easily all the songs and whistle them, and all this beeing sure that this is not "chewing gum", it will stay with us for years because it has an artistic intrisec value. Realy, a splendid time is guaranteed for all.
