Although Sgt. Pepper's is perhaps a somewhat overrated album by many (especially when viewed in relation to its historical context), for me it remains their true masterpiece: from the music to the cover, a lysergic journey through an ironic pop chaos. "A Day in the Life" has something apocalyptic and prophetic, spine-chilling.

Underrated, yes, but the three previous albums are definitely superior. Plus, I’m not particularly crazy about soundtracks (with a couple of notable exceptions, two to be precise: Passion by Peter Gabriel and all those by Ennio Morricone).

  • madcat
    15 jul 13
    well, but this is a soundtrack in name only, because in fact it's a collection of tracks that follow the line of the previous two, to which it doesn't really have anything to envy. It's true that sgt pepper is more compact and homogeneous, but when it comes to the value of the tracks, we're in the same ballpark.

Leaving behind the pop glories, the Beatles dive into well-crafted psychedelic pop-rock, perhaps creating their most homogeneous album in many respects. It’s among my favorites of theirs, and it’s well-played and produced. Tomorrow Never Knows.

The Beatles: Rubber Soul
15 jul 13
A significant step forward compared to the immediately preceding albums, here the group reaches its pop zenith in a stunning way (and far from the more psychedelic deviations that will shape almost all subsequent records). It is perhaps their most genuine and heartfelt album, highly underrated.
  • SilasLang
    15 jul 13
    Well! This record has never driven me crazy... what can I say? The same goes for Sgt. Pepper's... And I'm not a detractor of the Beatles (neither a detractor nor a fan... like with everything else, if a record is cool, it's just cool)... Then I literally adore the White Album, for example, it's one of my all-time favorite records...

  • hjhhjij
    15 jul 13
    No indeed, but this is at most a three :D The album with the largest and most evenly distributed sequence of masterpieces interspersed with colossal crap. In my mind, it has always been the epitome of a "3" album.
  • madcat
    15 jul 13
    I don't know, I think it's fair to say that this is better than Rubber Soul, more mature, more modern, with more stuff and what stuff, but then these immense bullshit (!!!) I would really like to know what they are, in the White Album hyiyiyiy, yes you, who gives it a 3 (!!!!) just like Nevermind, in fact we'll call this discussion Nevermind 2 :D
  • SilasLang
    15 jul 13
    There are some crap songs (obladi obladà being the first) but there are tracks that are so cool ("dear prudence," "glass onion," "while my guitar...," "happiness is a warm gun," "I'm so tired," "mother nature's son," "sexy sadie," etc.) that even the crap and the mess-ups of wild honey pie give it an added charm, almost low-fi... I don't know! I love this double white album.
  • SydBarrett96
    15 jul 13
    Anyway, it's true, some drafts add an extra charm (along with the cover). That's why it's a full 4, at least for me.
  • hjhhjij
    15 jul 13
    Ahahahah Nevermind 2 :D First of all, there's Obblabbla Obblabbla, which I highlight in blue, it's one of the tracks that horrifies me the most and would drop the album to a 5 with all the other beautiful pieces. And then, just a string of songs that I find either ugly or barely better, really. Wild honey, the continuing story, piggies, Savoy truffle, cry baby cry and so on. What a shame, because it perhaps has the greatest number of masterpieces; While my Guitar, I can say it calmly, is my favorite song by the Bitolz, but there are other beautiful ones too. If they had packed all these pieces into one album, it would have surpassed Revolver, which for me is the only five stars of the group. A human case of an album, I can't do anything about it :D
  • hjhhjij
    15 jul 13
    The problem is that unlike Silas, I can't find any charm in those tracks, and I've tried, I swear. I prefer Rubber Soul because it's more cohesive in being a good album and nothing more. Then, if you look at the best tracks from the White Album, it's obvious that if all those songs I can't stand hadn't been there, it would have been a notch above, abundant.
  • hjhhjij
    15 jul 13
    I understand that Mad and Silas consider it their pinnacle; it could potentially be mine as well. Clearly, they handle certain pieces better than I do, which make me cringe quite a bit.
  • madcat
    15 jul 13
    look obladi oblada it’s obvious that it’s the track that annoys the most, maybe alongside yellow submarine, among the Beatles' songs, precisely for its intentionally fast and simple nature like a children's nursery rhyme, which, in combination with other so-called "minor" tracks (although saying they suck is quite a stretch), also because hiiiiyii mentioned piggies, continuing story of bungalow bill, wild honey pie, savoy truffle, cry baby cry which are absolutely not minor but great pieces, among other things placed in perfect spots for the systematically and splendidly confusing journey of the album.
  • hjhhjij
    15 jul 13
    No no Oppalì Oppalà really sucks, and so does the yellowish submarine. The others... I don't know, for me the great pieces are really others, still talking about the Beatles, and also always talking about the White. By the way, it’s an album I’ve been trying to listen to systematically more or less since I was 12, so I know what I'm talking about :D As usual, de-guistibus. You all know that I certainly don't adore the Bitolz; I always find something that clashes in their albums, even in Revolver (which, however, reaches 5 for me anyway), I find the crap (guess which one mad?). Maximum respect for Lennon, Macca, and Harrison, and a sweet spot for Ringo, though, at least since 1965, even if they’re not among my cups of tea.

    But I'm not crazy about the Beatles either; I’ve never been a die-hard fan of theirs. However, I still find some albums pretty cool: the only ones that get 5 stars from me are Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's, and Abbey Road.
  • hjhhjij

    It's 4, not a few :)
  • SydBarrett96

    But not that many, take the case of so many groups/artists that for me remain five-star despite the large number of records. :)
  • hjhhjij
    15 jul 13
    But of course. It then depends on how "broad" or "narrow" the judgment criteria are. I'm certainly not narrow (you know there are groups or artists with almost only 5s from me), but 4 albums with 5 balls are a lot, for anyone. This is just a statement anyway; I neither agree nor disagree, everyone has their own judgment criteria.

The epitaph of the Fab Four, from an instrumental and sound perspective, is the most mature and imposing (now completely purged of the psychedelic pop from a couple of years earlier). Two excellent tracks, namely "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," along with the brilliant concluding medley, are worth, as they say, the price of admission.

Total summation of the dark poetry of Jim Morrison, an absolute masterpiece and one of the greatest debuts in the history of Rock. Through the poems of "The Crystal Ship" and "End of the Night", amid the acid blues of "Back Door Man" and "Break on Through", two masterpieces stand out: "Light My Fire", featuring an unclassifiable keyboard solo, and the descent into the inferno of "The End", a true immersion into the Vietnamese jungle.

The Who: Live at Leeds
29 apr 14
A live that is a great, fucking punch in the stomach. Hard-hitting, distorted, tightly wound, and screamed, it features the most incendiary, superhuman, and insane versions of many classics from the London band, here perhaps at the height of their Live power. "Heaven and Hell," "Young Man Blues," "Magic Bus" (monumental by the way) are worth mentioning, but above all, the incredible 14 minutes of the medley of "My Generation" (the reprises of "Tommy" are played with an unheard-of violence). Indecipherable.

18 apr 14
Dark and grim, busy and fucking Rock, the latest masterpiece by The Who is a bitter reflection on youth alienation. The four personalities of the musicians merge into a single character, Jimmy, who is the mirror of the mod movement and allegorically the symbol of the end of illusions. Musically (the two instrumentals) and conceptually superb. The cry of anger in "Love, reign o'er Me" is still perfectly audible. Masterpiece.

The album that comes closest to my concept of Rock in general, in its global "sense." An absolute monolith, a masterpiece and the peak of one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Nine authentic gems, after this music will never be the same. "Baba O'Riley," "Bargain," "The Song Is Over," and "Won't get fooled again" are my favorite tracks. "It's just adolescent desolation." Immense.

    A group that has never made it to my favorites; however, the immense value of the English band is beyond question, capable of delivering works like this, which hold significance not only musically.

    Above all, for me, the best along with John. But the 1968 namesake is also beautiful.

    The three short tracks are beautiful, much less so the filler jam format of the rest of the album, which gets boring after a while. The album that I made the effort to buy again on CD is the self-titled one from '68, their only work that I love from start to finish.

    Well, yes, I would have edited the pieces from this and the two subsequent albums to create a single album, a masterpiece.
