Yes, this is a fine Beatles album. It may not be their best, but I never understood why so many think Magical Mystery Tour is a lesser album. If I remember correctly, it didn't do as well as Sargent Pepper when it came out and the critics really slammed it, but I think it has aged well. |

This one bounces aimlessly in a systematic roundabout of simplistic jargon. Just not for me so much and don't understand why it has such a high rating. |

But I always found this song quite trite lyrically and very ho-hum musically. The lyrics are pretty silly. Apparently, even John Lennon called the lyrics "three minutes of contradictions and meaningless juxtapositions", but the melody is far from "ho-hum" - to me. |

Great in it's day but that day is long gone and I have heard this song more times than I want to. Adios RP. Maybe you had to grow up listening to this to appreciate it even more now-a-days. For those who do not see the value of RP, i say good riddance to ye. |

And you have to admit, "Strawberry Fields", "Penny Lane" and "I Am the Walrus" are neither trite nor ho-hum. (However, I am ashamed to admit I used to like "Baby You're a Rich Man", which really does suck poo!) I've always preferred this album to all their others, even Sgt Pepper. I can remember buying the 45s of this backed with "I Am The Walrus" and a few months later, "Penny Lane" backed with "Strawberry Fields" came out. I've always thought those two 45s were the peak of the Flower Power era of rock. |
AndyJ May 11, 2011 - 13:59 | Good song. Great album. Same year as Disraeli Gears and Surrealistic Pillow... What a decade-! So much music and so many new artist's doing great work.... No mush-sounds all seeming the same. |
