Amazon.com essential recording
Revolver wouldn't remain the Beatles' most ambitious LP for long, but many fans--including this one--remember it as their best. An object lesson in fitting great songwriting into experimental production and genre play, this is also a record whose influence extends far beyond mere they-was-the-greatest cheerleading. Putting McCartney's more traditionally melodic "Here, There and Everywhere" and "For No One" alongside Lennon's direct-hit sneering ("Dr. Robert") and dreamscapes ("I'm Only Sleeping," "Tomorrow Never Knows") and Harrison's peaking wit ("Taxman") was as conceptually brilliant as anything Sgt. Pepper attempted, and more subtly fulfilling. A must. --Rickey Wright
Album Description
It is nearly impossible to overestimate this record. Revolver straddles with steady legs the divide between the exuberant pop of the '60s beat boom and the experimental outlands that followed. And then pisses over it all. Revolver stands at the summit of western pop music, partly by virtue of its centrality to the musical revolution of the '60s, and partly because its songs have endured as well as any ever written. On cuts like "Taxman" (featuring a fantastically ferocious guitar solo from, of all people, Paul McCartney) and "Doctor Robert," The Beatles' harmony-rich R&B is on such masterful form, the only question remaining is what they would do for act two. The answer: Change Everything. EMI. 2005.

 Oasis they aren't. December 25, 2008
0 out of 5 found this review helpful
Yet another generic 60's Pop band gone by, just like Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones, and Eric Clapton; none of the bands show any particular talent. They definitely lack guitar talent and song writing skills. But like I mentioned already, with the right promoting any band can be made popular.
For good rock check out Oasis ,Nickelback, Limp Bizkit, Staind, Default, and Green Day.

What a great "rediscovery" for us who were too young to remember the Beatles during their reign. My husband and I recently visited the Beatles Museum in Liverpool and fell in love with them again. This is one of their best albums, and we never grow tired of listening to it!
Beatles classic November 23, 2008
Classic Beatles. The album that started it all - their own sound, that is. Not one of the cheezy reissue comps...
Shipper was accurate and prompt.

ALCEU NATALI'S CLASSIC ALBUMS:... AND ON THE 7TH DAY GOD REVOLVED HIS VINYL PLAYER. November 8, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
For my definition of 'classic' albums please refer to my review of 'Heaven Or Las Vegas' by the Cocteau Twins.
If The Beatles had ended their career with the album "Help", they would still remain the best pop and rock band of all time. But that was not meant to be. God wanted more. It was Thursday and God still had one more working day. I was amazed, astonished and stunned with God's creations on the first five days of the week. It was too much to me. But on Friday he seemed to be in a better mood and came up with something half sweet, half weird, called Rubber Soul, an ape losing his body hair and tail and standing on his two feet. And then God said: "I've had enough. I've created human being and a world for him. Now I'm gonna rest and take back something earthly to review. What? I need sometime for myself!" Then on Saturday, God revolved a black vinyl on his player, rolled up a joint, lit it up, relaxed and enjoyed the sound. 1. Taxman. "What's that, man? I can't believe it. Boy George roars and burns like I never heard before! 2. Eleanor Rigby. "Hey, Polly, this is so sober and beautiful. Looks serious and focused like me on my first working day!". 3. I'm Only Sleeping. "Wow, that's cool! What's this Johnny up to? This is just like I'm feeling now, floating up stream!". 4. Love You To. "Now what? Boy George again, going high and going eastern like when I started! 5. Here, There and Everywhere. "Oh that makes me weak in the knees. Polly made it especially for me to hail my omnipresence!" 6. Yellow Submarine. "Hey, Polly is not that serious, he likes to play too, like a child who makes adults delighted with her merry tunes!" 7. She Said, She Said. "Now, that got me rolling, Johnny! It is growing weird, man!" 8. Good Day Sunshine. "Well, I'm so moved with this shining tune! I remember it like it was today when I created a star for the humans". 9. And Your Bird Can Sing. "Johnny is like a magician. He makes the animals rock and sing along. That's my guy"! 10. For No One. "That's Polly again! So serious and gorgeous. He makes me cry out of emotion!" 11. Doctor Robert. "I've said that's my guy! Yeah, you're right, an appot a day keeps the doctor away!". 12. I Want to Tell You "Oh, thank you, Boy George, for the bonus. Your first two tracks were just fine". 13. Got to Get You into My Life. "Hey, Polly, you do not need me anymore. You've done great things. You can be on your own now!" 14. Tomorrow Never Knows. "That's why I told you this is my guy. What do I call that? I think I'm gonna call it psychedelic". And then, on Sunday, God went down to earth again to make something to celebrate this revolving masterpiece his human creation had made. And he made Sgt. Pepper and it became more famous only because it was God's idea!
