Pepper’s is oddly conservative in places: “Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite” takes inspiration from a Victorian-era carnival; “When I’m 64″ is a music-hall parody that fantasizes about what it would be like to be the Beatles’ grandparents’ age; “Fixing a Hole” has a rather mundane domestic setting; the fantasy girl in “Lovely Rita” is a cop.”

He’s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land

You are old. Shut up.

Pepper one of the most overrated records of all time, and rating Magical Mystery Tour over Pepper? Pandering to a hipster orthodoxy? Over-valuing the reviewer’s opinion over criticism? just foolish.
