On Amazon US by someone named Flaming Mudkip from the Virgin Islands. I saw this on TV last night and LMAO:
It reads:
This album is oarful. The Beatles were probably the most mainstream band ever created, and when they were tired of bubblegum pop, they tried to be all trippy when they were given acid by that awful muscian, Bob Dylan. But the only thing they could accomplish is ripping off that song from the Wonder Years, making a bad cover of William Shatner's classic, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, and overall making an album that is barely listenable unless you take some LSD. Plus the title is tl;dr and there are no music videos for MTV.
For good bubblegum pop, get the Jonas Brothers.
This is an actual review of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles, so I ask you, was he having a larf?????
Is this Amazon review of Sgt. Pepper real?

I think he was honest in not liking Sgt Pepper.
Here's another...
This really is an awful album from start to finish. For a start, the title is very misleading. I thought I was buying an album called "Beatles" by a brass band named "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" only to learn when I got home and played it that it was the opposite!
Then there are the terrible songs, starting with the title track. The best part is the tuning up at the beginning, and then the singer says he's going to introduce us to "the one and only Billy Shears", but the song ends before we ever get to hear Billy sing. What a disappointment!! "With A Little Help From My Friends" is exactly what Ringo needs to make this song interesting. Not a patch on Joe Cocker's original! Then there is "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", or LSD in other words. What? A song about pounds, shillings and pence? Give us a break please!! Next is "Getting Better". No it's not, it's getting worse! "Me used to be angry young man. Me hiding me head in the sand"? So you should mate, with appalling grammar like that! "Fixing A Hole" next. Only another 3999 to go then if you're fixing it in Blackburn, Lancashire! "She's Leaving Home", probably after being given this album as a present by her mum & dad. Give me Billy Bragg's original anytime! "Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite". What sort of title is that? And "The Hendersons will dance and sing". Not Dickie Henderson I hope, 'cos he's crap! "Within You Without You". Er, without you thanks, George. If I want to listen to this kind of music, I'll go to an Indian restaurant! "When I'm 64". Sounds like you already are, Paul, on this jolly old codger's ditty! "Lovely Rita". "Got the bill and Rita paid it"? You tight git!! "Good Morning Good Morning". Good job there is a cockerel on it. It woke me up!! "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)". Still no Billy Shears! Finally, we have "A Day In The Life". "The English Army had just won the war". Huh? Don't you know your history John? Everyone knows that the Americans, in it from the start like the good ol' boys they are, won the war. We only came in after the Japanese bombed Poole Harbour!

I think I'll go write a fake Justin Bieber review then - you know, completely over the top praise, act like I have zero knowledge of music, write like I'm a completely uneducated moron, etc.osiris wrote:I don't know. You know kids these days. I think I want to go fake review a Madonna album...

I think this gives us a good historic perspective. Next time someone reads a review like this should remember that, in 50 years from now, the majority of things that are being praised today will be gone down the toilet. And people we'll probably say: how could those guy have loved this?
That's what I feel about Elvis already, anyway

Probably not, he seems to have just as much insight as the reviewers on AllMusicosiris wrote:This is an actual review of Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles, so I ask you, was he having a larf?????

I urge you to read the reviews for Tuscan Whole Milk and the Three Wolf Moon t-shirt.
