    When I listen to this crap the first thing I think of is the old people that blame rap for being repetitive. If you haven't heard this overrated album before; don't bother listening to it now.

    Complete and utter nonsense that old people think is great. Don't bother listening, its complete garbage and the people who think its great are mostly baby boomers who think the newer generations only like rap music.

    50 years on still doesn't obscure its frivolity. Paul McCartney dominates vocally and compositionally, and a mind-bending stereo remaster redefines the psychedelic summit while making the mono mix on disc 4 superfluous, but a pair of demo discs single out John Lennon's backbone contributions in multiple takes of pre-LP single "Strawberry Fields," plus "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" and "A Day in the Life."

    This shining-up of the Sgt. Pepper grail is gorgeous. [No. 144, p.51]

    [Giles] Martin and co-engineer Sam Okell have done a loving job, getting away from some of the oddities of the familiar stereo mix done by Abbey Road engineers. ... It is like seeing a favourite movie again in high definition. It doesn't replace the original, it enhances it.
