The band and (mainly) George Martin's decision not to put Strawberry Fields Forever or Penny Lane on the album simply because they had never done so before was indeed a dreadful mistake. With either single included on Sgt. Pepper, especially Strawberry Fields, the album could have become something even greater."  [+]  Reply

"One of the finest compliments I can pay this album is that despite the fact it's a product of the "classic rock" era, it still gets virtually no radio airplay on classic rock FM radio. You are still far more likely to hear it on college radio.

Like The Velvet Underground's first record, it's one of those albums that took music to another level, a more atmospheric, cinematic version of pop. It's a classic from start to finish. Break on through, get things of to a great start, and it never lets up. Light my fire, is probably the most famous song on the album, but, soul kitchen, the crystal ship, and, end of the night, are all excellent too. The centrepiece of the LP has got to be closing track, the end, a haunting and literal masterpiece, possibly the doors' finest moment. An important and influential debut. Classic. "  [+]  Reply

"Unbelievable how overlooked this album is in the mainstream since it features some of the best song writing and singing of the 60's.

There are so many songs "The Red Telephone", "A House is not a Motel", "You Set the Scene", ect... that should be recognizable classics and as iconic as anything by The Beatles. Arthur Lee's vocals are the highlight here and I just can't get over how well he delivers the lyrics. In the way the album is the perfect depiction of the route music was taking from the 60's to the 70's. Darker, more psychedelic, and more thoughtful. This album is really the best of both worlds for those who like their rock trippy but still very much in tune with classic what you expect from the 60's. Fantastic album! "  [+]  Reply

"The final stop on the LSD train for the Beatles. Though thrown together for the release of the MMT film, Magical Mystery Tour is probably the most underrated Beatles albums. Many classics are on here. Highlights: The Fool on the Hill, Strawberry Fields Forever"  Reply

This is their first album, and Syd Barrett created (what I think is one of Floyd's best) "Interstellar Overdrive." He had a good sense of British Psychedelia, and was advancing it by adding strange sound effects such as sounds by voice, and overlapping sounds of metal object being ran up the fretboard. After this album he went far out of it, but if he had continued, I believe that he would have brought great success to Floyd (not saying more than that has been precieved.) Think about it, at the end of "Bike" he has clock alarms going off (Time,) he influenced the Floyd to write some of their best songs (Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Where Here, Brain Damage,) and thought up the idea of bringing a saxophonist and two woman singers into the band (a statement straight from Water's mouth.) In my opinion, the Floyd did amazing albums without him, Water's is the greater song writer, and Gilmour is the better guitarist, but Syd was the jumpstart to the band spawning ideas that would later be used, and inspired the band. As for my review for this album: There are three great songs on this album, and the rest are mediocore. Interstellar Overdrive (which is amazing,) Lucifer Sam, and Astronomy Domine. This was Syd Barretts burst of creativity before his collapse. The album isn't the most enjoyable album listening from track one to eleven, but it's still alright. I believe that this album is a bit overrated due to the glory that Pink Floyd brought to Syd Barrett, but oh well, it's still nice to listen to."  [+]  Reply
