Great album but fuck me does yellow submarine nearly ruin it.
excellent
An absolute classic. One of the best albums from the greatest band of all time
BEST ALBUM EVER
Revolver is low key the best Beatles album. It’s experimental without being too high on itself like Sgt. Pepper.
I think this is the best Beatles record I've heard. This is actually innovative and boundary pushing without straying into the silly tweeness (almost, Yellow Submarine can fuck off). I genuinely enjoyed which is a surprise to everyone.
I've never actually listened to a Beatles album back to front, you know. ok FINE it's good
Great overall.
One of my favorite Beatles albums, can't decide between this and Rubber Soul. Innovative production with such a diverse set of genre blending. I love it, it's peak Beatles.
Absolutely amazing. An iconic album from start to finish.
One of the greatest albums ever recorded a must listen for any human. Simply perfection.
Preferred this to the last Beatles album I listened to Favourite songs: - Eleanor Rigby - I'm only sleeping - For no one - Got to get you into my life 3.5/5
These guys are really good. Who are they? Seriously though, my only complaint is that some of the tracks may have been overplayed a little
Wow, this was excellent Taxman and Eleanor Rigby were already favorites Biggest surprises: "and your bird can sing" and "got to get you into my life" Preeetty pretty pretty good
This is the second Beatles album I’ve gotten on this journey, after Sgt. Pepper’s. Oddly enough, Revolver is the album preceding that one. At this point, the boys were just about done performing live as a band. They started ramping up their studio production tinkering to create an innovative soundscape inspired by LSD trips, Eastern philosophy, and avant-garde music. There’s the horn section on “Got to Get You Into My Life”, the string octet for “Eleanor Rigby”, the back-masked guitar solo of “I’m Only Sleeping”, the Indian instrumentation on “Love You To”, the tape loops assembled for “Tomorrow Never Knows”, the list goes on for what they achieved. I know these tape effects and instrument choices will be used more frequently by artists in the future, but the Beatles did a lot to make well-structured music with these new-at-the-time methods. Adding to that, the song structures are a lot more varied on this album. A fair amount of tracks are idiosyncratic - the out-of-tempo count-in to “Taxman”, the switching between 4/4 and 3/4 time on “She Said She Said”, and the syncopated drum pattern of “Tomorrow Never Knows” as a few examples. These variations are complemented by more normally structured songs that serve as good palate-cleansers like “And Your Bird Can Sing” and “Yellow Submarine”. As for the lyrics, Revolver largely deviates from the Beatles' prior work of mostly love songs. Instead, the themes range from isolation in "Eleanor Rigby" and "And Your Bird Can Sing", to drugs in "Got to Get You Into My Life" and "Doctor Robert", to other assorted topics like taxes and sleeping on "Taxman" and "I'm Only Sleeping". There's a great deal of variety in the emotional delivery throughout the album, whether a song evokes sadness, joy, angst, or bliss. Honestly, I couldn’t think of a bad or middling track off this album. Each song brought something unique to the table, as every band member was on their game lyrically and sonically. I know they would continue to experiment on Sgt. Pepper’s and onward, but Revolver became a high mark to surpass.
Great album. All the songs on here are awesome. That being said I cant give it a 5 because there are definitely some lower points on here that I dont necessarily look forward to on re listens.
I love it, definitely a fave from these guys
Unfortunately one of the less exciting Beatles albums out there to me regarding recording techniques and experimentation, aside from unconventional hard panning of vocals and drums in the stereo field (although summing very well to mono). It does make for a more interesting headphone/stereo listening experience. Eleanor Rigby is the standout above the rest.
They need a six star scale for the beatles
I mean, it’s the Beatles?
Really chill easy fun pop songs from then Beatles. Solid 4.5 rounding up.
If it wasn't for Yellow Submarine.....
Is this the acid India trip album? A couple pretty big hits but overall didn’t really do anything for me. The songs in-between the hits were instantly forgettable and even a couple I debated skipping because they were simply unenjoyable to listen to. Makes me wonder if this album came out before they were global phenomenons would it have been as popular? A somewhat overhyped album that radiates with fart smeller aura. 6/10
3 stars because I respect the band. Prefer the Stones.
YESSSSS! Love this album!
Een van de beste van de Beatles. Alleen eleonor rigby staat mij wat tegen, verder flawless. En tomorrow never knows als eind is echt een knaller. Rubber soul kwam hiervoor, waar ook al meer werd geëxperimenteerd, maar tmk voelt alsof het echt het volgende tijdperk van de band inluidt. Raar, experimenteel, los van alles wat ze eerder hebben gemaakt.
Love the Beatles some track on here I love and give me such nostalgia from being a little girl visiting Liverpool
I liked it
tututuuttututu
If Elenore Rigby and Yellow Submarine were not on this album, it would be forgettable.
Solid
Amazing.
Quite enjoyed this. Doubt I’d be back in a hurry but it’s the best Beatles record I’ve heard so far. Nothing to really say about the Beatles that havent already been said, but aye, canny this
I said this about rubber soul but this more sounds like the album halfway between their old rock n roll sound and the more experimental stuff. It was okay, not many standout tracks (taxman probably the best) but then not many complete duffers as in the newer stuff. I don't really understand if yellow submarine is meant to be a good song or not, it sounds like monty python. So much of Beatles is mediocre songs being propped up by a handful of bangers. It's fine.
Feels like it has been a while since the last Beatles album - we must have had nearly all of them by now. I like The White Album, and Rubber Soul. Revolver is alright. It is incredibly diverse, and snappy. Eleanor Rigby is one of their best songs, and I also like I'm Only Sleeping, Yellow Submarine, and Tomorrow Never Knows. It is definitely a mid-way album, to how they ended up. A decent run of albums randomly generated here.
This is our 4th Beatles album so far, feels like it's been a while actually..... Obligatory not a huge Beatles fan. Not sure if this just caught me on the right day but I enjoyed this and I'm going to say this is my favourite album of theirs we've had. I still think there are a lot of filler songs, but there are some belters too. Tax man, Eleanor Rigby and tomorrow never knows are the highlights. 4
One of the greatest LPs of all time. Tomorrow Never Knows is likely one of the top 100 all time greatest songs
So good. The floor is extraordinarily high in that every song is quality, but the ceiling is off the charts. "Eleanor Rigby" pointed toward Sgt. Peppers and is just in a different category than most pop songs. "Only Sleeping" and "She Said" and "Your Bird" are criminally overrated -- just lost in the quantity of quality here even as the provide a jangly template for generations of future bands to follow. As a John-preferer, one especially likes that his tracks are demosnstrably stronger than Paul's. This is a stronger mix of songs than on Rubber Soul and more ambitious – the great artistic advancement continued. "Yellow Submarine" is the great Ringo song that would become a standard feature of these records. One never liked "Got to Get You Into My Life" as a kid, but sounds good and substantive now and is a forward-looking closer besides.
Eleanor Rigby was stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
I don't think I'd listened to this before... and it was bad.
I am not a Beatles disciple. But I recognize good music and this is good music.
First album in my journey of becoming a music nerd. Currently listening in order. Pretty chill stuff. Catchy, too. Every song flows pretty nicely. Also, it's actually pretty nice for doing homework, I think. I see why it's rated so high now.
I mean what can you even say about this record anymore? It's all been said. This is the moment pop music drastically changed forever. Just "Tomorrow Never Knows" inspired thousands of ideas into music. George goes nuts on "Love You To". There's so many things about this record that make it amazing I can barely find something to pin down, my mind races to the next great thing about this record. No band should be able to overcome such shitty stereo mixing, but The Beatles songs are so good you don't even mind it. This isn't even my favorite Beatles record. Arguably not even top 3 depending on how I'm feeling. And I give this album so much praise. GOAT band
En klassiker men inte inte deras bästa. Nog 4-5 plattor med Beatles som jag rankar högre. Men det blir en femma trots allt. Beatles är ju Beatles.
Tolles Album.
Really liked this. Full of various styles and sounds. Short.
Classic
Just epic.
I’m certain there are long, substantive, quasi academic reviews of this masterpiece already on the site, so I won’t try to compete. This is the ultimate pre-conceptual pure pop record. Of all time. ever.
Not as bad as "Rubber Soul" but not their best
What were they inventing so many years ago
Is it the best album ever? Maybe, maybe not. But it is for sure one of the greatest and most influential.
It's The Beatles, it's Revolver. Take a step back you ridiculous person - it's one of the most important albums in the history of music. We amateurs are not worthy of reviewing it. Modern music started here.
Hard to not give this a 5 -- its not my #1 Beatles album, but its undeniable.
A classic. Taxman is a great opening track to the album. Paul's bass riffs are wild at parts. Ringo's drums on She Said are memorable
One of my favorite Beatles albums, can't decide between this and Rubber Soul. Innovative production with such a diverse set of genre blending. I love it, it's peak Beatles.
I enjoyed the variety of sounds the Beatles were able to craft, but on the flip side I think the sequencing could've been done better. Altogether an insanely creative album for the 60's.
Mitt första Beatles-album. Förvånad över hur många klassiker som fanns på denna.
One of their best
Hard to tell if the remix/remaster changes what the original vision of the band and Martin et al without as much familiarity with the original vinyl release.
Man, those guys, huh?
One of the greatest albums. Some certified bangers, and you can hear the transition from all their early 'love ' songs into far more rounded, deep stuff. All 4 have fantastic contributions here.
An absolute classic, probably my favourite Beatles album (not that I know all of them in loads of detail). Taxman and Eleanor Rigby an incredible start, generally the album epitomises everything good about the Beatles. 9/10.
Good album. Not all great but very good. Never been a fan of Yellow Submarine.
Actually kind of enjoyed this album. But not THAT much.
It's a good album and I'm sure it was exceptional in 1966. I like "Taxman," "Eleanor Rigby," and "Got To Get You Into My Life." "Now my advice for those who die / Declare the pennies on your eyes" is a great line. Several songs on here I would skip, though.
The Beatles, it is not a real argument, are the greatest pop/ rock band that ever was, and likely will be. Now to be sure there are lots of super great bands that came after, but I think it is to do with an especially rare talent: they have a signature sound but they sound "different" throughout each song they perform. Michael Jackson had this talent, Fleetwood Mac... The Rolling Stones... Notice that these are all GOAT worthy bands. Yet The Beatles have something in the lyrics, something so raw and real, each and every song, so different the mood and the "feelings" you get. From fists in the air, to trippin' out on the shag rug, to crying over lost loves... it's all there and it is simple. Unbelievable. Revolver is not my favorite of theirs, but it is ... an album from the greatest band ever so...
This is the era of The Beatles that really started to catch my interest. It’s where they began heading in a more psychedelic direction and started experimenting with production and studio techniques. You can really hear them pushing boundaries, which is why this album is so fascinating to me. It’s also why I love listening to these albums with headphones or earbuds, the layers and details really come through.
Amazing album with a huge cultural impact. There's not much to be said that hasn't already been said by so many other people, much more eloquent in this field than me. Still, on a personal level, it's not the one I'd pick up when I feel like listening to the Beatles. 4.5/5
Not my favorite Beatles but still good
In the span of 1 calendar year, the Beatles released Help! (August 6 1965), Rubber Soul (December 3 1965), and Revolver (August 5 1966). There's an argument to be made for each as the first great Beatles album. For my money, it's Rubber Soul, but Revolver is almost certainly the more important one. It is the soundtrack of their minds being splayed out on the carpet. Everything before Rubber Soul is one thing. Everything from Revolver on is on another level.
It sound kind of crazy when laid bare, but 60 years ago a white boy band from a port town in England combined chamber pop, the hottest trends in American R&B, and Indian classical music to make one of the create one of the most adventurous sounds any pop band's ever done.
meh
I listened to this release five times today, just wanting to give it a five. For context this is one of my father’s favourite albums but to me many of the songs just have something missing to them. What I really love about the beatles is how extravagant they are but a lot of the songs on here have an idea and just roll with that until the end, no bridge or anything, I guess that’s fine but it doesn’t make 5/5 songs. It’s still a masterful album but in my honest opinion not perfect
No. 250/1001 Taxman 4/5 Eleanor Rigby 5/5 I'm Only Sleeping 5/5 Love You To 3/5 Here, There and Everywhere 4/5 Yellow Submarine 5/5 She Said She Said 4/5 Good Day Sunshine 5/5 And Your Bird Can Sing 4/5 For No One 5/5 Doctor Robert 4/5 I Want To Tell You 3/5 Got To Get You Into My Life 5/5 Tomorrow Never Knows 3/5 Average: 4,21 Although not my favorite of their catalogue, this is still an exceptional album. Eleanor Rigby is among the best songs ever written.
This beatle album upsets me a little bit. I spend my entire life hearing about how this band is the best in the world and hearing pretty okay album after pretty okay album I didn't get it. Hearing that Abby Road, the most dad rock album I had ever heard, was the pinnacle of music and finding out it was just pretty good was annoying. But then to hear this, songs that repeatedly did interesting and cool stuff, and know that The Beatles could have kept doing more of this, seeing what I could have gotten? Makes me oddly mad.
Not my favorite Beatles record, but really enjoyed how experimental it was.
One of the best by them, by far.
I'd never heard this in its whole before, and it's so very very good. I read up and around on this album as well, and oh my, so much depth and iso many interesting aspects uncovered. This album is a doctorate worth of background and influence in its own right, and then there is the quality of the music and lyrics. Bloody awesome. 5 stars. (I've confirmed, it's a good gym workout album too, good hard sweat from this album, now, what else?)
Favourite songs: Got to Get You Into My Life, Yellow Submarine, Eleanor Rigby, Love You Too, Doctor Robert Least favourite songs: "Here, There and Everywhere" 4/5
Top tier Beatles album, some random songs but still has some of the best songs ever.
The Beatles got good when they stopped writing songs about love and start writing about taking naps, submarines, and taxes
I think this was one of the first Beatles albums I bought outside of Sgt Peppers and Abbey Road, realising that there was so much more to their back catalogue, And Your Bird Can Sing a personal favourite
Sacrilege, I know, but the Beatles are hit or miss for me, usually on the same album. Revolver is no exception.
What an absolute masterpiece! Not much to say that would do this album justice. There are just so many amazing songs here that makes no sense listing my faves… but, anyway, I Want to Tell You, Eleanor Rigby, and For No One are it.
Probably my favourite Beatles album; 35 minutes of perfect 60s music. So much variation, but still feels cohesive enough with the Revolver 'sound'. There is little to separate Paul and John on this one - this is the one album I'd choose to demonstrate the best of both.
I must be the only person who doesn’t like Beatles.
I loved this album. It started strong, with Eleanor Rigby as the second song. Then throughout the album there are so many classics. Even the songs that I didn’t know going into it, I really liked. My favorites were Eleanor Rigby, Here There and Everywhere (this one makes me feel peaceful), Yellow Submarine, Good Day Sunshine (this one makes me feel so happy and in a summery mood), For No One, and Got To Get You Into My Life. I listened to it twice through to be sure I wanted to rate it a 5, and I enjoyed it immensely both times.
This is going to be an easy 5*, no question. Great to revisit since last time I binged the Beatles in 2009. This + Rubber Soul are my favorite Beatles era. I don't think I have any notes for this -- even the "weaker" songs are great (here there and everywhere has amazing harmonies), unlike prior albums where some songs/covers were lacking. Opening with Taxman goes hard (even with mainly George vocals!). Then Eleanor Rigby, a motherfucking classic with strings! Then I'm only sleeping, another song I adore because it brings me hard back to 2009. 3 back-to-back very different but amazing songs. I learned the for no one is only voice, piano, and french horn, how cool is that? More highlights (here I list practically every track): she said she said, and your bird can sing, FOR NO ONE, got to get you into my life, tomorrow never knows, i want to tell you Low lights: yellow submarine (because of its ubiquity), love you to (just not a fan of this category of George songs), doctor robert (but the carol-like harmonies!)
eleanor rigby easily the best song but it’s soooooo good
There really is something about the way the Beatles phrase and sing lyrics that can make me go "oh I don't give a shit" the minute the vocals come in on so many of their songs. And TBH I think it's more Paul McCartney than anyone else. If there's ever an argument of throwing out any of your drug induced song ideas, "Yellow Submarine" would be it!
Amazing album have listened to it before but on a relisten something clicked. Elenor rugby,Taxman ,here there and everywhere are amazing
Not a controversial opinion to say that this is a very strong album. For me it’s not quite a 5 but when this album is good it’s great. Fav track is for no one
I like the part with yellow submarine but genuinely this is a very solid album
I like how abruptly some of the songs end
One of the best of the best. Probably my favorite Beatles record. Maybe Rubber Soul. Either way this is a 5
Amazing record
Best Beatles album. Almost mix is amazing!
Not my favourite Beatles album, but definitely some bangers.
It's the Beatles. Do I need to say anything else?
Not bad, but just another Rutles wannabe. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+⭐ ________________________________ 🎧 LPs reviewed: 62 🎧 LPs left to review: 939 🎧 LPs I found great/relevant enough to be mandatory listens (5): 14 🎧 LPs I *might* include in my own list (4): 17 🎧 LPs I will certainly *not* include in mine (1-2): 17
Great album. Lacks the overall strength of other Beatles albums, but still really good. 4/5 Will listen again
In my opinion, one of the more polarizing Beatles albums. Every song definitely elicits strong emotions from me that range from "love it" to "hate it". And even though nit every song connected with me, I appreciate the variety and intricacy thay is present. No two songs sound alike, and I love that about this album. If it were uo to me, the best songs would be 2x as long, and the weaker songs wouldn't be present. But then it wouldn't be Revolver. Top tracks: Taxman; I'm Only Sleeping; Here, There And Everywhere, For No One
Reviewing the Beatles is like reviewing pizza. Enough bangers on here to get them through any qualifiers. 4.5
Brilliant. One of the best albums ever. Yellow Submarine is the worst track - it's only a four. And it was very popular with the kids when I was growing up. Everything else is five star plus.
The Eternal Question of every Beatles listener: is Revolver their best, or Abbey Road? Today, I'm willing to stand with the former. For No One, Taxman, Here There and Everywhere, Eleanor Rigby, and of course the guffaw-inspiring, I-cant-believe-this-is-from-1966 Tomorrow Never Knows. Wall to Wall classics on this project. There are even days when I can put up with Yellow Submarine. Phenomenal, and as previously stated, top 2 from the beatles.
Might be the most important and influential album of all the time.
Beatles = 5
This is better than Rubber Soul, more experimental with stranger and catchier songs. A wide variety of styles. Better than Sgt. Pepper, which came next. Fun fact — the lead track Taxman is written and sung by George, has a great guitar solo, not by the band’s lead guitarist, but by Paul. How do these things happen? More Beatles, please.
A perfect album.
Classic. I think Beatles were the pioneers of making music that was critically acclaimed without being too high brow or avant-garde. This album is the best example of it. There are so many experimental elements and yet as a whole it's a fun catchy experience. Although all the Beatles shine on this, it's the McCartney songs that does it for me. Eleanor Rigby, Here there and everywhere (my favourite from the album), For no one, Good day sunshine. Harrison's hindustani classical music inspired For no one is beautiful. Lennon's I'm only sleeping and Tomorrow never knows with it's reversed guitars is so trippy. No skips, even Ringo's yellow submarine is fun to listen to with it's goofy lyrics and sing-along rhythm. Truly the pioneers of Pop music.
Noteworthy songs - 808080808 Magical Dream - Kinda catchy synth, but the rest is bland. Ancodia - Good background noise. Cobra Bora - Actually kind of cool, reminds me of Bomberman Hero. Pacific 202 - N64 vibes, but melody isn't great. Donkey Doctor - Nothing too special, weird ending. 808080808 - Really cool beginning. A little slow in the middle but stays interesting enough. Sunrise - Nothing remarkable. The Fat Shadow - Eerie. Very short.
I mean theres not much i can say this is a classic. I personally like the white album and abbey road more but doesnt mean this one isnt a 5
I liked some of the experimental stuff they tried with the sitar in this album, as a whole its very solid and I was shocked it was only 34 minutes, the majority of the songs are a little over 2 minutes, which makes it even more interesting how they pack so much in that timeframe. great songwriting, I'd give this a 4.5 if I could, Eleanor Rigby alone is worth listening to this album.
Love everything on this album. It’s probably the bottom of the 5’s on their 5 star album list but that’s still a 5! It’s also wild that they cram that much into 34 minutes. You’d swear the album was twice that length (in a good way!)
Haven’t heard half these songs but they’re good. The sitar stuff kinda stinks but nobody’s perfect
The beautiful thing about 30 minute albums is it gives you a chance to listen multiple times. First play through I did not care for muchbof the album. It seemed disjointed and had no flow. A few listens and a little research on the album brought me around.
All the love to George, but I cannot hear Taxman anymore! A few bubblegum and over played songs on this but that's not their fault. It's a good album and I especially have always loved "I'm Only Sleeping" and "She Said She Said" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" - those songs are what keeps this album high on my list, though Rubber Soul & White Album & Abbey Road would rank higher.
4.5 almost a 5. Just so engaging even for my adhd brain. and tackles loneliness and connection in such a casual way. so psychedelic- i want to get stoned now and listen.
Might be the best Beatles album!
Excellent
The definition of a 10/10 album. The Beatles' best album. Top 3 album of all time
They just have such a unique sound and I really do love it.
Yellow Submarine!
Great album from beginning to end.
The studio effects really shine on this album.
Singles are good, album tracks fairly forgettable, solid but not life changing.
Meh
First time listening to a Beatles album.
Yellow Submarine is a banger.
Simply the best album of first bars to every song ever! Unbelievable! I feel like I’ve heard just about every genre of modern music in this album. Totally timeless and so far ahead of its time. Yellow submarine lets it down! 4.9
fucks 5/5
Enjoyed it more than any Beatles before
If there was a “1 album to listen before you die” book, this would be the first and last entry. 10/10 🐐/🐐
very lovely, has some beautiful tracks on it
Honestly? Yes I understand this album is a classic, but it’s not as good as I remember it. I think some of the production choices were questionable at best and annoying at worst. Again! Not saying I disliked this, just that I felt let down.
Some good songs, some really unnecessary fluff. This album felt a little long , even though i like the white album. Idk - many of the deep cuts were just on. But the music and vocals were good and Elenor Rigby is hard to beat.
I real step change for The Beatles, and music in general. I suppose this sounds like another twee 60s rock/pop album to some and nonsense like 'Yellow Submarine' and 'Dr. Robert' doesn't help. But this is revolutionary. Hence the title. The Beatles were either getting in on new trends right at the start here (pysche, baroque-pop, world music, guitar feedback) or inventing them outright (studio as an instrument, tape effects, electronic effects, multitracking like crazy). In just 3 years they had come a loooooong way from 'Love me do'. Absolutely pivotal and essential.
Best Beatles album?
Amazing step forward for the Beatles but it’s a few songs short of perfect, especially Doctor Robert which is such a stupid ass song imo. What a lackluster name for a drug dealing pharmacist guy lol.
Overall not a bad album but it's a little repetitive at times.
Great - always a joy to listen to a Beatles album.
Not really my thing
I AM A MAN OF POP SENSIBILITY AND I LIKE THE BEATLES!
Supposedly peak Beatles, or peak pre-Pepper Beatles, and while I do like "Eleanor Rigby" and "Got To Get You Into My Life" the rest kinda falls flat or not at all (looking directly at you "Yellow Submarine"). Rubber Soul was better, Pepper would be next, this kinda is just there almost out of contractual obligation...
I enjoyed it
Layup
George’s opening line count-in says it all: one, two, three, four. Just add one more.
Do not overthink this
I overthought my rating on Rubber Soul. I'm not going to overthink this one. 4.5/5
It hurts my butthole
The inflection album between light poppy easy Beatles and more experiential interesting stuff.
already listened to it, one of my favourite beatles albums
One of the greatest albums of all time
***Here is my review of, what I consider to be the best album of all time*** Revolver, the seventh studio album by The Beatles, is not merely an album; it’s a testament to the zenith of the band's creative zenith, or perhaps to the zenith of rock music's zenith. By 1966, The Beatles had already transcended the boundaries of pop stardom, morphing into a cultural phenomenon whose every move was both scrutinized and sanctified. But Revolver wasn't about appeasing the masses or living up to their godlike image. Instead, it was about dismantling the very constructs of what popular music was supposed to be. First, let’s talk about the opening track, “Taxman.” George Harrison’s cynical, sardonic take on the British tax system is not just a protest song; it’s a sonic middle finger aimed at the establishment, laid over a groove so infectious it could almost make you forget you’re being gouged by the government. Harrison steps out of his quiet guitarist persona, showing he’s more than capable of holding his own against Lennon and McCartney’s lyrical prowess. “Eleanor Rigby” is McCartney at his most existential. In two minutes, McCartney encapsulates the bleak, anonymous existence that modernity can impose. It’s not just a song about loneliness; it’s an exploration of the human condition, backed by a string quartet that strips away any hint of rock pretension. It’s classical, but it's also deeply contemporary, making you question the purpose of all those forgotten lives. Lennon’s contributions, however, are where Revolver truly deviates from their earlier work. “Tomorrow Never Knows” is the sonic equivalent of a psychedelic experience, predating the summer of love and acid trips becoming cultural mainstays. Lennon’s voice, distorted through a Leslie speaker, intones lyrics inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead. It's not just avant-garde; it’s a prelude to the entire genre of electronic music. Listening to it is like stepping into a kaleidoscope, every sound spiraling into infinity, yet grounded by Ringo’s relentless, primal drumming. Then there’s “Here, There and Everywhere,” perhaps McCartney’s most beautiful love song, a track that manages to be both heart-wrenching and euphoric. It’s a moment of pure, unadulterated emotion in an album that often feels like it’s reaching for something far beyond the grasp of mere mortals. What makes Revolver unparalleled is its seamless integration of disparate styles and influences. It’s a melting pot of Western and Eastern, of classical and futuristic, of the mundane and the metaphysical. Harrison’s “Love You To” introduces the sitar in a way that isn’t cultural appropriation, but rather a genuine exploration of global sounds. It’s a track that transcends rock, borrowing from Indian classical music and infusing it with the ethos of the 60s counterculture. The beauty of Revolver is that it’s both a product of its time and timeless. It's an album born out of the chaos and innovation of the 60s, yet it doesn’t feel dated. It’s experimental without being inaccessible, philosophical without being pretentious. It's The Beatles at their most fearless, unshackled by commercial expectations or genre limitations. In the grand scheme of rock history, Revolver is less an album and more a manifesto—a declaration that music could be art, that pop could be profound, and that a band from Liverpool could alter the course of culture forever. Listening to it today, it’s easy to see why it’s often hailed as the greatest album of all time. Not because it’s perfect, but because it’s perfectly imperfect. It’s a snapshot of a band, and a world, in the midst of seismic change, captured with all the raw, messy, beautiful energy that entails.
The middle album of the Beatle greatest three album stretch of the fab four’s career. Note for note pitch perfect! There is a ton of debate between Sgt. Pepper and Revolver and which is greater, but why? This album is fantastic and that is all that matters!
Perfection. Anybody who says anything different needs to be committed to an insane asylum.
A few great tracks mixed into a half decent album. 3.5 stars.
for the love of god please listen in mono
A great album. It was released before my time. As a teenager, the hype surrounding the Beatles got on my nerves. I loathed them with all my heart. It wasn't until much later that I realized how big the influence of the band and their music had far beyond their time. And this album in particular contains some gems of pop music. I'll definitely listen to the album again. 5/5
Not bad!
Like many Beatles albums, this one has lots of short-and-sweet songs, and I was pleasantly surprised how many of them are new to me (which means they weren't radio hits, as I'm not a Beatles connoisseur). Much more of a sampler style than a concept or thematic album, which is perfectly fine, of course, but a little surprising for the 1001-albums project/collection. And now that I've read the (laboriously extensive) Wikipedia entry, I see the eclectic nature of this album was its reason for inclusion.... I admire them for being willing to branch out into studio-only recordings and techniques, as they didn't plan to have any more live performances, and I'm impressed that so many people felt that the album fundamentally changed studio recording techniques. There's always been something about "Eleanor Rigby" that feels nearly perfect as one of these short-and-sweet Beatles capsules (and a great re-creation of the lyrics in the movie "Yesterday"). And I always thought that "Yellow Submarine" was created for the animated movie, not the other way around (and still a favorite song of mine from childhood). "Good day sunshine"--and to some degree "Paperback writer" (which wasn't part of this album but was part of the recording sessions)--sound almost like throwback songs from an earlier Beatles era compared to the rest of the album. I really enjoyed "For no one"; probably my favorite previous-unheard track on this album. And "Tomorrow never knows" is kind of mind-blowing in how it anticipates so many electronica/psychedelic music styles for the coming decades. It's hard to know how to rank this, as it's both clearly revolutionary in many ways, but to me not the most interesting album as an album (to my under-educated ear). But I have to give credit to the huge variety and experimentation in the album, both musically and technically, and to its enduring legacy.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I've probably only listened to this album once before. I think I probably put it on when I was 11 or 12 and didn't care for it as much as the others and so that was that. So listening to it now was like hearing it for the first time, which was a treat. I have to give it 5 stars for the standout songs (Eleanor Rigby, Good Day Sunshine) but as an album it doesn't cohere as well as most of their others.
It's Revolver. Not my favorite by them so I'm judging more harshly. I feel like they only got better.
1/2 of my favorite Beatles records, with Rubber Soul being the other. Revolver is fun, upbeat, creative and unique. The songs are lively and engaging. The Beatles were really flexing on this one with their capabilities and expansive ingenuity. This one always reminds me of my late father as we would sing these songs riding around in the car when I was a kid. Hit after hit after hit on this one - forever timeless.
There were the songs you know and love, the “Yellow Submarines”, “Here, There and Everywheres”, and “Eleanor Rigbys”…and then there were the ones like “Taxman”, “Tomorrow Never Knows”, and “Love You To”. As a whole, it was delightful to blindly listen and hear the ones I love. But not as joyful was listening to some of the songs that kind of made me go “ehh”. The great songs and good songs outweigh the ehhh songs though, and made for a decent album listening experience.
i'm unfortunately still a beatles dickrider i fuckin love those guys.
Though I understand that it's not their best, 'Revolver' is probably my favorite Beatles album. I'll stop glazing for them eventually. Highlights: Taxman, I'm Only Sleeping, Here There and Everywhere, She Said She Said, And Your Bird Can Sing, For No One, Tomorrow Never Knows (!!!!)
Obviously a great album. Not my favourite Beatles but it has some really incredible moments from both the singles and the B-sides. The 2022 mix also sounds so clean and crisp - what a treat! Best Track: Eleanor Rigby Worst Track: Doctor Robert
Best Song: Eleanor Rigby Worst Song: Doctor Robert
No notes. An easy 5 stars.
This is my favorite Beatles album, just slightly beating out Abbey Road. From start to finish it’s non-stop gold. 4.7 stars
Makes my Top 3 Beatles album list a 5 all the way through well produced
I’ve heard this album countless times, but one thing to stood out to me this time was how tightly paced all the songs are. The longest song is just over 3 minutes, and the whole thing is wrapped in 35 minutes. Songs like “Eleanor Rigby” and “And Your Bird Can Sing” leave you wanting more and ready to play again. It also feels varied when it comes to lead vocals - all of them have a chance to shine, even if “Yellow Submarine” is one of the goofier Ringo songs. Not my favorite Beatles album, but a damn great one and 100% deserving of its accolades.
Did we expect anything less
I love Eleanor Rigby, but the rest of the album is not that great by Beatles standards.
Just a great album
never really been my fav Beatles album, although "got to get you into my life" is one of my fav songs by them. if this was the only beatles album on the list it'd skate by with a 5 probably but when there's so many, you gotta grade on a curve
Basically where all music after this point comes from
You know what's a bad acid trip? Dropping LSD and then looking at this album cover. George's eyes always freak me out.
Throughout different points in my life I have often wondered if the Beatles are famous because they are good, or because they managed to have an idea first. I frequently flip flop on my opinion, but this album pushes me toward the “first” side of that spectrum. The songs are pleasant to listen to, and some are catchy enough to remember and think about, but most of them I just listened to and didn’t think much more. I think not everything they wrote needs to be obsessively reviewed. Some songs can just be mediocre.
Don't know what I can say about this record that hasn't already been said. Masterpiece.
Ok but not their best
Revolver is the toughest Beatles album for me because it’s not my favorite and I don’t think it’s their best, but it showed how genius they were by incorporating so many different styles and techniques into their album. This album has some fantastic songs with a wide range of instruments that help it really stretch into different genres. The lyricism on this album is a bit more melancholy than previous albums but not as psychedelic as later albums. This is a good middle ground for what the Beatles were and what they would become in the late 60s. It’s a fantastic album and worth the praise. 8.9/10
I mean it’s good but I still don’t understand
not quite a five due to a few meh/bad tracks such as I Want To Tell You and Love You To
Lots of vocal harmony, cool "world music" influences (middle Eastern instruments)
Dammit its good
Brilliant album. Probably my fav Beatles one so far. Looking forward to listening to Rubber Soul.
I mean... It's the turning point album of The Beatles, how can it not be a good album.
I have all but forgotten, drunk on the highs of 'Revolver's many classics, that the album is so instrumentally naked, and often irritatingly thin.
Impresionante, como todo lo que hacen los Beatles.
Straight up BANGER!! My favorite Beatles album. What it lacks in cohesion it excels in flavor. Don't like this song or the production, just wait until the next. But how dead are you inside that you can't appreciate a masterclass in songwriting? Recorded at a time where you had to track bass, guitar and drums to one mono channel so you had room to fit vocals and stereo movements. How they got it to be so sonically good is beyond our modern digital, make as many tracks as you need, minds.
We hate taxes 😌 Love the strings on rigby Varied instrumentals Y E L L O W S U B M A R I N E 😤 Outro goes crazy
Uma obra prima que não precisa de mais elogios nem retoques. A música Something é pra mim uma das melodias mais lindas já compostas nesse universo. É ouvir e ter um misto de tristeza pelos amores da vida com alegria de ter a chance de estar ao mesmo tempo na terra em que um álbum desse existiu.
i fuck with bug music heavy
Wow could there be a more disappointing first selection from the 1001 albums generator than a tired, boring, trite Beatles album? What's next, One Direction?
Got to get you into my life Eleanor rigby Tomorrow never knows
classics, but not my style
It’s rly good
Brilliant, bold, beautiful, blissful Beatles
Starting an album with Taxman into Eleanor Rigby is one hell of a flex
The Beatles had no bad albums, but they have entries stronger than this one. The hits are the hits tho
trippy. classic, don’t need to return to it for this
One of their best
The turning point for the band. The harrison tracks rip
Plain to see how and why people were blown away back in the day. I did like Sgt. Pepper's a tad more, so I gotta rank this a little lower than it probably deserves.
Nuff said
Already heard this Beatles classic! At first, I didn't quite get the hype for this album (or for The Beatles in general), but after listening to Abbey Road for the second time, I completely changed my opinion on this influential band. Revolver isn't my favorite Beatles album (that being Abbey Road), but it's most definitely an amazing album, that I finally understood on my second listening experience (an listening experience to me = listening to the album for 2-3 times to form an full opinion on it), this being my third one. What is there to say about Revolver that hasn't been said before? From the classics that are on it? That classic, amazing album cover? "Taxman" is the opener for this album. This is George's satire piece on the high levels of progressive tax taken by the British Labour government of Harold Wilson. Energetic song as well. "Eleanor Rigby" is groundbreaking, because at that time, The Beatles were mostly known for writing love songs, but they proved themselves to be much more better than that, and this song is proof of that. It goes into the feeling of loneliness. And it's also the only song on this album, where no Beatle sings at their instruments, but only the orchestra. Genius! If there is a song I can relate to, "I'm Only Sleeping" is that song. "Love You To" is another favorite of mine. I just like George's sitar! And the lyrics are also great. I can't believe I was such an idiot for disliking "Here, There And Everywhere". I don't know what I was on back then. This song is so beautiful, definitely playing this at my wedding! I love "Yellow Submarine"!... Okay? It's a kids song, I know! But...*sniffs* I am still a kid on the inside! Don't make fun of me please! *cries* I want my mommy! MOMMY! WHY ARE PEOPLE SO MEAN?! *sobs* (ok, this is stupid, I'll stop this. But still, I love this song, because it's so innocent, unlike most of this album's songs. It's a fun little innocent song!) Anyways, there will be days I will sing that chorus in such random moments. "WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE! YELLOW SUBMARINE! YELLOW SUBMARINE!" 🗣️. Also, all this time, I thought Paul was singing the song, but it was actually Ringo 🙏🏻 Most of side A is perfection (I also like "She Said She Said", but it's backstory is a bit weird) And side B is mostly amazing, but not near perfection, like the previous side. My favorites of side B are "For No One", "Got To Get You Into My Life", and of course, the psychedelic closer, "Tomorrow Never Knows", which is probably my favorite song on the entire album. "Doctor Robert"...it's a great song, sure! But not the one I would go back to so often. There are no bad songs on this album, but if I really had to pick a least favorite, it's this one. I'm sorry! Overall, amazing album! Getting this album today made my day much better! If you haven't listened to it yet, please do so! It's a classic! -favorite songs: "Taxman" (<3), "Eleanor Rigby" (<3), "I'm Only Sleeping", "Love You To", "Here, There And Everywhere" (<3), "Yellow Submarine", "For No One", "Got To Get You Into My Life", "Tomorrow Never Knows" (<3) -least favorite song: "Doctor Robert"
First Beatles album! I loved Eleanor Rigby and I'm only sleeping but honestly for me it fell off a bit after that. I know this is supposed to be one of their best but I'm not the biggest Beatles fan and I just don't get what is so great about this one. Still, 4 stars for those two songs which really are very good.
I know lots of peoples favourite Beatles album. Not sure it's mine but I do enjoy it quite a bit. I think what stops this record competing with Abbey Road in my mind is the catchiness factor isn't just quite as up there as AR. This album has a lot of cool and varied ideas on it but I don't find myself singing along to it as much as songs on Abbey. Feels weird giving it a 4 but I need a distinction between how I feel about this record, and Abbey Road so there ya go.
Without a doubt the best Beatles album
My topper most of the popper most favorite band. One of my top 3 Beatles albums, containing my topper most of the popper most favorite Beatle song. The title of which I’m going to keep to myself so you’ll have to guess…
Half on and half off Nice songs followed by snoozes Almost enough weird
I mean, what can you say about such an iconic album? It offers a bunch of great songs, some so-so ones, and one or two that lean far too heavily on the sitar.
Does anyone else feel a bit of anxiety when they go to see their album du jour? Seeing this pop up made me so happy.
Highlights: Taxman, She Said She Said, Tomorrow Never Knows. The band clearly didn't give a shit about making a hit album at this point. They just wanted to make an album and not tour anymore. Fair. I respect that. Taxman feels like a portal is opening (if that was the goal, nailed it). Tracks like "I'm Only Sleeping" and "And Your Bird Can Sing" sound as if they were offcuts from Help! or Rubber Soul. George pushing himself to learn the sitar (and not appropriate the sound, which is a hard thing to pull off) was a critical component here. Hats off to you, George. I prefer Rubber Soul to Revolver, but I'm not going to deny how important Revolver is in music history. Revolver is noted for studio technology innovation, inspiring dozens of musicians and spawned new sub genres. Overall: 6/10
Not a fan of the Beatles. Still don't really get it
Listened to the 2022 mix in stereo. Eleanor Rigby continues to be one of their most beautiful songs but I'm Only Sleeping might be better, carried by the delightful bass melody. There's some eastern sounding instrumentation which segues into Love To You. Here There and Everywhere is another hit with pretty vocal harmonies. There's quirkier stuff here, like the tongue in cheek intro Taxman, and certainly Yellow Submarine, but the latter is undeniably catchy. She Said She Said closes the first side with the most guitar driven track so far. The second half maintains the same rhythm of ethereal, charming songs, with For No One and the slightly unsettling I Want To Tell You two of the standouts. It's an incredible blend of styles and instruments. It feels like every note is precisely placed, a tour de force.
This isn't as good as I remember. Taxman is simple and effective pop rock w reactionary lyrics. Eleanor Rigby seems like the point where they start to get hugely impressed with themselves and lean into their pompous era - insanely overrated song. I'm only sleeping dabbles in studio effects for a psych101 rocker with great melodies. Love to You has a sitar drone and raga beat to an exotic flair that's quintessentially 60s. Here there Everywhere is tender chamber pop with a jangly guitar lead that adds an spikey element to the bittersweet smooth harmonies. Yellow submarine is Barney level pap. She said has the most iconic 60s pop psych sound with the massive swooping sounds, jangly guitars, and doubled vocals. Good day sunshine is more stupid kids music with an oompah doompah beat and idiotic chorus. And your bird can sing has a great high energy riff and catchy vocals - the guitar sound is great. For no one is a way less successful harpsichord song than Girl, but has a cool horn part. Dr Robert is generic LSD pop. I want to tell you is more of that iconic distinctive combo of close harmony and jangly guitar leads. Got to get you into my life is by far the best McCartney song here, carried by a Motown sounding horn part and bass line and a great vocal performance that builds and builds until a very satisfying break. Tomorrow never knows wraps it up with an all time great psych excursion into drones and trance and studio trickery. The guitars do sound great on all these songs, and they're having fun with more exploratory instrumentation and studio experimentation and I do love the way they bend a song with bridges and melodic variations twists and turns.
All time favorite Beatles album
A collection of great songs with a few sub-par.
It's fine. Again, I recognise what a HUGE impact this album made, but listening to it for the first time in 2024... It's fine. Maybe now would be a good time to explain my ratings.... 1/5 - Actually unlistenable, brings out negative feelings 2/5 - Falls flat, definitely moments I genuinely don't enjoy. Would not listen to again. 3/5 - Would listen to again, but I'm not rummaging around for it. Definitely some nice moments but not getting me amped 4/5 - Genuinely a quality album. Will dig it out for repeat listens for sure. 5/5 - God tier. This rating is reserved for some ELITE shit
Varied feelings and styles make this such a diverse experience. Significant beauty in song writing!
2,5
Revolver is an uplifting and exciting album that showcases the band's musical evolution without the overindulgence found in some of their later work. The album is a masterclass in blending innovation with accessibility, exploring various genres and styles while maintaining a cohesive sound. From the energetic opener Taxman to the experimental Tomorrow Never Knows, each track contributes to a rich and diverse musical tapestry. The use of new recording techniques and instruments was groundbreaking, yet the album never loses its sense of fun and excitement. Revolver strikes a perfect balance between creativity and discipline, making it one of their most compelling and timeless works. It captures the essence of the 1960s while remaining fresh and relevant, solidifying The Beatles' place as pioneers in modern music. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 8 STAND OUT TRACK - And Your Bird Can Sing
Full of classics but actually quite disjointed as an album
- Die große Frage nach dem besten Beatles Album ist so alt wie die Geschichte der Menschheit... oder so ähnlich... Die Frage ist, ähnlich wie die Frage nach dem Sinn des Lebens, wahrscheinlich nie wirklich zu beantworten. Wenn ich mich für eine Antwort entscheiden MÜSSTE wäre es in meiner Welt wahrscheinlich Revolver! - Ich finde es ist ein perfektes Werk. - Revolver markiert einen weiteren Umbruch im Style der Beatles. Nachdem mit Rubber Soul der Folkausflug der Band seinen Höhepunkt erreichte, musste wieder etwas Neues her. Experimentieren mit Style und Technik/Aufnahmeverfahren, die nie vorher angewandt wurden. So wurde nebenbei mal wieder Groundworkarbeit geleistet und einer ganzen Musikrichtung der Weg geebnet: Psychadelic Rock. Aber das ist nicht die einzige Überschrift des Albums, die kann man bei der Vielseitigkeit nämlich kaum finden. So sind ebenso Rock, Pop und Folkstücke und irgendwas dazwischen vorhanden. - Mit "For No One" und "Eleanor Rigby" sind zwei meiner Top 3-4 Beatles-Songs auf dem Album. - Insgesamt würde ich sagen hat Revolver natürlich weniger Riesen-Hits als Abbey Road oder Sgt. Pepper, finde aber (auf wirklich extrem höchstem Niveau) hat Revolver die größere Dichte an krankgeilen Songs, die nicht ganz so bekannt sind. - Ich liebe sie alle. - Und während ich das hier so schreibe und mir die anderen Alben auch noch anschaue merke ich: "Fuck, die hatten einfach mindestens sechs 10/10er Alben und der Rest ist 9-9,5/10. Leck mich am Arsch sind die einfach fantastisch." -> Ergo: Die Ursprungsfrage bleibt wahrscheinlich bis in alle Ewigkeit unbeantwortet. Ich denke es ist vielleicht einfach Tagesformabhängig. Heute ist es für mich aber mal Revolver. Danke Paul, John, George und Ringo! Rating: 5/5
- Mein Lieblingsalbum der Beatles und ich weiß nicht warum. - Ich mag einfach den ganzen Vibe vom Album und den Sound. Ist jetzt nicht so, dass das explizit die besten Songs für mich drauf sind. - Die haben da einfach eine gute Mischung aus super geilen Ideen und Riffs, sind aber noch ein bisschen rougher vom Sound, dabei ganze zeit ultra vielseitig und facettenreich - Wie immer bei den Beatles fehlen leider die letzten 10-20%, die mich vor allem emotional mitnehmen. - Höre sowieso ein bisschen zu wenig Beatles; umso besser, dass mich das Album mal daran erinnert, häufiger mal reinzuhören. 4,25/5
Tolles Album!
I really enjoyed Revolver and while I don't believe it is the best album from The Beatles I do think its a great experience. My one gripe is that the second half didn't do as much for me as the first, but even so its still The Beatles so I can appreciate the songwriting and ideas on display. Overall a great album from a great band, but I don't think that's a surprise for anyone.
Simple yet great. This is a lazy ass review Favorite Song: Taxman Rating: 3.8/5
not the best beatles album, starts off incredible then gets kinda weak by the end
Always one of my favorites. Takes me back to high school.
Classic 3 min pop songs
17/6/2024 Listened to this all the way back in 2021 or 2022. Needless to say, record is great
I enjoyed it.
Nothing very special. I feel they try to experiment with some exotic sounds but it didn't went fantastic. It sounded like a normal band. The lyrics are good though.
Great more than an album an experience!
Good but not their best.
Best songs : Elenor rigby , tomorrow never knows Worst song: yellow subermarine(yes I think this is one most well known Beatles songs) I think this is my favorite Beatles albums but is definitely not a 10 but a very solid 8
Classic
eleanor rigby i'm only sleeping yellow submarine she said she said good day sunshine and your bird can sing for no one
Again, another passable Beatles album. Not a lot more
Eleanor Rigby and Yellow Submarine are brilliant. The the album seems to be observations of life, which makes it a bit dull by default.
The Beatles don't really make bad music but that doesn't mean all of their music needs to be placed on an alter. This album has some great song, Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, Got To Get You Into My Life, are all fantastic tracks that I will continue listening to. But ultimately, too much of this album is forgettable for how short it is.
I thought this was a really pleasant album. A couple of songs I wouldn't add to a playlist of Beatles songs, but for the most part great.
Obviously extremely influential, the start of their sound experimentation, some true bangers, not the height of their discography due to some duds
Taxman 4/5 Eleanor Rigby 5/5 I'm Only Sleeping 5/5 Love You To 4.5/5 Here, There and Everywhere 5/5 Yellow Submarine 3.5/5 She Said She Said 4.5/5
Upper mids
The best album of all time. Second-best Beatles album.
It is not easy to rate the Beatles.
I mean, it's revolver. 2nd favourite beatles.
Not a great Beatles album. Has none of my favs
Now this is what I wanted from a Beatles album! I liked it a lot, and not just the tracks from No. 1, but that said... Favourite track: Eleanor Rigby.
The nr one group ever, and one of their best albums.
This album is great. So many good songs, and so weird. One of my fav Beatles albums.
A revolutionary triumph.
More exceptional strong songs from that there Liverpool foursome. Hard to fault.
наверное любимый альбом битлов. Можно услышать весь диапазон их ебанутости алкоальбом: метр шотов
У меня сложилось забавное впечатление, что я половину этого альбома слышал в исполнении других групп, или в каких-то других форматах. Вот, например, глюк: на Got To Get You In My Life - всё время хотелось петь Help! ай нид самбади хелп... Ладно, вообще я битлам не ставил ещё ни разу пятёрку, как-то так вышло. Пусть будет здесь! Но Abbey Road > Revolver
Always a banger. Never realised how quick the album is, each track almost 2 mins!
Pop rock, psychedelic pop. I think this is my favorite Beatles album I've listened to. I haven't listened to all of them but of the ones I have, Revolver is the highest quality from start to finish. Catchy tunes, great vocals, great performances from all. Just a delight. It's a classic, I'll definitely revisit. 5/5
Toinen Beatles-albumi muutaman päivän sisään. Opettavaisia kokemuksia nämä. TIL ettei Taxman ole Stevie Ray Vaughanin biisi.
It's between this one and Rubber Soul for the best Beatles album for me. This one wins by a smidge. 5/5
It was good and I heard some songs I liked and didn’t previously know like “She Said She Said”. “Here There and Everywhere” is one of my fave Beatles tracks.
Quiero decir...
Classic, already heard many times and still love it.
Banger
yeah... its the beatles.
the beatles actually aren't overrated?!! they're, may I say, very fucking good?? anyway my fav beatle album so so good
Love some of the songs like eleanor rigby but the rest are mid imho - 8/10
Was happy to see this was 14 songs and only 34 minutes long. With the two Beatles albums we've got I've had pretty high expectations that were not completely met. Like the albums are good, but they aren't amazing or anything. Even then, after multiple listens, I enjoyed it; lot of light, fun songs. Giving it a low 5.
I prolly listened to this like 4 times through but was still moving out of Darlington so I was only half inside so the 4th listen was the only one that counted. Obviously was good. Yellow submarine is nostalgic, a bunch of the other songs r just good. The ones w Indian influence kinda threw me off. Idk if I like the sitar(or whatever instrument that is) and idk how I feel ab how that mixed w the music. 8/10? 8.5/10… idk
Really good! I feel like a lot of my favorite songs by them are on this album. 9/10
7/10 - fairly entertaining. Yellow submarine is pretty good but so was get into my life. I also remember playing Eleanor rugby in orchestra and the song is quite a banger
When I generated this album, I remember being pretty excited to listen. Then immediately after I got super sick for like 5 days. It has been awful. Finally back though, and this was good. I feel similarly to abbey road; this might get a 5 from me if it weren’t the Beatles, but I just came in already expecting so much
Really good and I'm not a huge Beatles fan
A revolutionary period in Beatles history. They took their experimenting from Rubber Soul and upped it to eleven here. Great sounds on this record.
THE BEST
They're not all hits, but the ones that are...
Just a perfect album. It still astonishes me that this band along with their friends and George Martin were capable of such consistently great song writing and arrangements. They were never the best musicians but this stuff is absolutely timeless
Nothing can be added to what has already been said about this. Eleanor Rigby alone is worth the price of admission, but the whole record is perfect.
Heaterrrr
Don’t know if this was much better than rubber soul but it was definitely great. Once again had flashbacks to happy childhood memories hearing yellow submarine with no irony. Giving it a 5 but on another day it’s a 4
About as good as pop music can be, it's crisp and direct, yet richly layered, subtle and mature, experimental and complex. To maintain such high quality across such a breadth and variety of different songs is nearly unfathomable. The opening notes of "Taxman" is the very sound of mod. "Eleanor Rigby" is next level, an order of magnitude better than typical pop songs – cinematic, sophisticated, self-contained. "I'm Only Sleeping" is a personal Lennon fave, one knows the feeling, which the song articulates/presents in extraordinarily fashion. "She Said," "Yellow Submarine," "Got to Get You," "Dr. Robert," "Your Bird" – there's excellence across the board, and a tone of underrated gems – not just no dogs or now filler – this is extraordinarily high-level music making from start to finish.
A bit patchy in my mind... the standouts are Eleanor Rigby and Tomorrow never knows.... otherwise take it or leave it
She said was a nice new song for me along with my old favorite eleanor rigby but the rest is just good, nothing special
Goated
It feels like the vocals were somewhat better than Sgt Pepper, but the hits were fewer and further between. Mildly enjoyable.
Classic and clean. The Sierra Nevada Pale Ale of music.
This and "Abbey Road" are my favorite Beatles albums. Just an amazing range of sounds, songwriting, and singing... wonderful production too. It's a bit like the White Album with the more random stuff removed, condensed.
Det ser ud som om, at jeg er en større Beatles fan, end jeg er, men det er altså bare fordi Revolver og Rubber Soul er mine yndlings albums med den. Stjernefedt album
Den her plade er så vild. Ikke rent faktisk min yndlings Beatles plade, men nok den mest banebrydende. Ikke for at go all boomer on you, men det må have været helt vanvittigt at høre 60ernes største boyband udgive det her.
OK plade.
Have been listening to this since it came out, not a bad track on here.u
Good, but not that good.
This is a good album.
One of the all time classics I've never heard as a whole. Knew certain classics such as Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, I'm only sleeping and got to get you into my life. This was the last Beatles album before they broke up and it's interesting hearing what their sound was like. Really enjoyed Love to you with the sitar riffs. The final track is a shout into the future with a drum and bass sound
