Hit: 5 Stars
Revolver was released after Rubber Soul. This album continues the evolution of writting and composing of the fab four. It sounds very similar to Rubber Soul and is another great album.
Overall it's a lot more "60s" in the sound. A lot more of Georges Indian influence in the music. A lot more randomness in the writting of Lennon/McCartney. A lot more great drumming by Ringo (He's great on Tomorrow Never Knows).
Taxman is a classic song by George. It's sounds very similar to Drive My Car and just has a nice groove to it.
Paul says he made up a lot of "characters" in his songs like Eleanor Rigby. The String section was first used in Yestarday and is a perfect opening to Eleanor.
Other notable tracks are Goodday Sunshine, She Said She Said, and Tomorrow Never Knows. This is a great track written by John. He didn't want to come off the wrong way in his presentation so he used a saying Ringo came up with in "Tomorrow Never Knows." This was a huge step in moving forward in the music. It showed the audience a sneek peak as to what future music would sound like and I think it's a perfect song to end with to transition into the Genius of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Free Music Review: 10 All Time Best Albums
Hit: 5 Stars
Being born after the Beatles broke up, I can't really comprehend the world before them. From my childhood, I remember my older siblings wearing out what was left of their Beatles singles all through the 70s. It wasn't until much later that I separated the songs that were part of my childhood from songs that are part of my adulthood. I firmly believe that everyone will discover the Beatles at some point in their life. It wasn't until I heard Revolver that I had my revelation.
Popular music that is timeless until time's end. If you could somehow erase everyone's memory of the Beatles without removing their impact on music, I believe that you could release Revolver today and it would dominate the charts. Neither imitators, admirers, nor detractors have been able to pull off the magic that is Revolver. The music on this album defys description - everyone who has discovered it knows that. Everyone who hasn't - will.
Free Music Review: Ten stars wouldn't be enough.

Okay: I was six when the Beatles first washed ashore over here in '64; their records have been a part of my life ever since. Quite simply -- and don't argue with me here -- Revolver is the single best album of the rock era. EVER. And I mean that for both the American AND UK versions.
You're listening to genius from track to track that doesn't let up. It was the album that split the Beatles' career in two -- from the touring, "I'm in love, yeah yeah yeah, hold my hand" Beatles to the older, more analytical Beatles.
Indeed, the last line of the last song on Revolver, "Tomorrow Never Knows," is "Play the game existence to the end of the beginning." Maybe Lennon didn't know it, but putting that line at the end of that album was a hint that things were changing, and we -- as well as the Beatles -- were never going to be the same again.
Sgt. Pepper was important, but it couldn't have even EXISTED without Revolver at the end of the beginning.
If you're just discovering the Beatles, start here.
Free Music Review: charting new territory
Hit: 5 Stars
if there is one valid argument for the legalization of drugs it is the beatles 1966-1968 output and 'revolver' in particular.. The beatles were exploring new territory and making some of the greatest art of the century.. 'revolver' begins where rubber soul left off with a typical rocker 'taxman' and it ends with the groundbreaking 'tommorow never knows' there strangest and most transcendental song to date.. George's contributions are also picking up.. his indian influenced tracks really glue the album together.. paul is responsible for the most classic sounding tracks like elanor rigby, good day sunshine, for no one. and john is at his best the peak of his abilities.. with the aforementioned 'tommorow never knows', doctor robert, and the uncomparable she said she said... this was, perhaps, the bands greatest group effort of their career.. Not as conceptual as sgt pepper - revolver is nevertheless a seemless package that will last as long as rock lasts..
