Reviews (page 11 of 15)
If I'm ever hard pressed to name a favorite Beatles album, which isn't necessarily often but honestly it's weird that it happens at all, Revolver is usually my response. It doesn't feel like it's dragging or meandering or trying to take me on a psychedelic adventure, and it also doesn't sound like a record company handed four young men ten to twelve three-minute pop songs.
Still slaps
Very good
Pretty good, not my favorite Beatles album but still pretty good
Paar echt briljante nummers. Eleanor Rigby en Paul McCartney's For No One als absolute nummer 1. Het is het zevende album in 3,5 jaar en dat merk je wel. Sommige nummers lijken wat gehaast geschreven. Haperingen in de hitmachine Lennon-McCartney. Maar goed, zelfs Pelé, Maradona en Messi hadden wel eens een slechte wedstrijd. Zelfs Phil Taylor gooide wel eens een pijl mis. Zelfs Usain Bolt zette wel eens een misstap. Zelfs Kendrick... oh nee die kan er niks van.
Ok... zaskakujące. Nie znałem Beatlesów, jak się okazuje (może kojarzyłem głównie wczesne kawałki...?). Zupełnie rozmija się z moim wyobrażeniem, nie spodziewałem się takiej dynamiki, różnorodności, mieszanki stylów. Momentami brzmią wręcz współcześnie. Okazuje się, że wiele późniejszych "eksperymentów" muzycznych to bootlegi kawałków z Revolvera. Nieźle. Najbardziej zaskoczony byłem chyba na koniec, "Tomorrow Never Knows" - taki banger w '66... Kwas rządzi!
Remarkeble for 66!
Already listened
Where they are fully embracing ‘your mother wouldn’t approve, but the kids love it’ phase….
It’s hard to rate Beatles albums. Almost every single record by The Beatles contains revolutionary ideas and some of my favorite Beatles songs from their catalog. A lot of them also have a few misses for me personally. My ears have never enjoyed the sound of sitar. I respect them for exploring all genres of music, but it turns me off from some of their songs. Some songs like Birthday from the White Album or Good Day Sunshine from this record are just corny to me. The musicianship is always great, but those songs amongst others are skips for me. Despite having a few skips, it’s hard to criticize this record too much because of how revolutionary it was. The Beatles started using the studio as an instrument, which really changed music as we know. And while there’s some songs I personally don’t love, they also have some of their best songs ever on this record.
Always good
Fav: Here, There And Everywhere Least Fav: Doctor Robert Best Beatles album on the list so far, but some of the tracks feel like they’re missing something. It’s shocking that some of these songs were made in the 60s…
Another great album from the Beatles, my favorites are “Got To Get You Into My Life” and “Eleanor Rigby”
One of my favorite Beatles albums. Many hits on this one. Some of my favorite tracks like Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, She Said, Good Day Sunshine, Yellow Submarine, Gotta Get You Into My Life and more. A great listen front to back.
#55 It's the Beatles, so great, and some of the songs are 5 stars (Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine). In total I have heard better Beatles albums.
I don't know many Beatles songs other than the well-known ones, so this was nice to listen to and discover more of their work. Enjoyed it a lot, but I probably wouldn't go back to it because I'm a basic bitch who just wants the big hits
Fantastic album... just not quite the full five for me (4.5)
Beautifully crafted psychedelic pop which is probably responsible bringing the genre into the mainstream, influencing generations of bands to come. Nice use of sitar, reverse guitar solo's. Great use of harmonies and string arrangements in the more classic sounding Ballads. Also.. WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE A YELLOW SUBMARINE A YELLOW SUBMARINE
Look at the Lads! Growing right before our eyes and ears. Not the innocent Fab Four anymore. Now it’s sitars and sex in a smoke filled package. Love these damn hippies!
Det er Beatles, kan ikke gå galt.
They got better albums but this is still pretty good.
Great album.
It's Revolver! I adore 'And your bird can sing' and 'I'm only sleeping'.
I mean yeah
This was always my favourite Beatles album along with Rubber Soul. Not a 5 currently because I listened to it too much at one point. (I should have given the White album a 3 really as it never was a favourite, but was being sentimental about the Beatles.)
excellent
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.
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
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.
If it wasn't for Yellow Submarine.....
Love the Beatles some track on here I love and give me such nostalgia from being a little girl visiting Liverpool
Solid
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
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
Eleanor Rigby was stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
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.
Tolles Album.
What were they inventing so many years ago
Mitt första Beatles-album. Förvånad över hur många klassiker som fanns på denna.
One of their best
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.
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...
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
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
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.
One of the best by them, by far.
eleanor rigby easily the best song but it’s soooooo good
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
Not my favourite Beatles album, but definitely some bangers.
Great album. Lacks the overall strength of other Beatles albums, but still really good. 4/5 Will listen again
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.
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.
Excellent
They just have such a unique sound and I really do love it.
Yellow Submarine!
First time listening to a Beatles album.
Yellow Submarine is a banger.
Enjoyed it more than any Beatles before
very lovely, has some beautiful tracks on it
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.
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.
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
The inflection album between light poppy easy Beatles and more experiential interesting stuff.
already listened to it, one of my favourite beatles albums
for the love of god please listen in mono
It's Revolver. Not my favorite by them so I'm judging more harshly. I feel like they only got better.
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.
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
You know what's a bad acid trip? Dropping LSD and then looking at this album cover. George's eyes always freak me out.
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)
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
A collection of great songs with a few sub-par.
Full of classics but actually quite disjointed as an album
- 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
Classic 3 min pop songs
I enjoyed it.
Great more than an album an experience!
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
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
It is not easy to rate the Beatles.
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.
More exceptional strong songs from that there Liverpool foursome. Hard to fault.
Toinen Beatles-albumi muutaman päivän sisään. Opettavaisia kokemuksia nämä. TIL ettei Taxman ole Stevie Ray Vaughanin biisi.
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.
Classic, already heard many times and still love it.
Love some of the songs like eleanor rigby but the rest are mid imho - 8/10
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
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
They're not all hits, but the ones that are...
Heaterrrr
Classic and clean. The Sierra Nevada Pale Ale of music.
OK plade.
This is a good album.
Chille beatles
I listened to this on a loud car ride with my gf and her mom so I wasnt able to give it a proper listen. I know some of these songs, but most it was my first exposure. I liked it. Im not sure if I've ever listened to a beatles album through and its interesting how all the more experiment songs get cut when you just listen to the hits. I liked the experimental stuff and I've always been a fan of the goofy stuff like yellow submarine and octopus's garden. Some of the best beatles tracks are on this. Eleanor Rigby, Taxman, Yellow Submarine are standouts just off the top of my head. I think this album is a great beatles album.
Im not a huge Beatles guy but I like most of their stuff. Maybe at the time this was revolutionary but to me it just sounds like a nice, uncomplicated album of pop rock. “Love you to” is the only oddity since they use a sitar and some effects. “Tomorrow Never Knows” could also be described like that. Otherwise very straightforward songs we’ve all heard a billion times. I finally looked up the meaning behind “Dr. Robert” and it is supposedly a real person who prescribed famous people amphetamines. lol.
Almost as good as its reputation.
There’s nothing I can say about the Beatles that hasn’t already been said. One of the best albums of one of the best bands. Personally, I like this album, but I don’t love it.
Realy liked it. Guess I’m a Beatles fan
Half great, half just good.
It may sound like sacrilege, but I find this album overrated among The Beatles’ releases. George kinda ruins it with all his sitars and droning. Throw in another couple songs in the vein of For No One and I’m Only Sleeping, and you have yourself a masterpiece, but as it stands, there are a couple songs here that I would skip, so it can’t get all 5 stars.
really enjoyed this actually.
Отличный альбом, в котором даже довольно дурацкие песни звучат хорошо (да, Yellow Submarine - великая песня). Я впервые услышал Tomorrow Never Knows в известном сериале про виски и женщин, и это песня навсегда будет ассоциироваться во мне с неспособностью измениться, принять эти неминуемые перемены. И это еще речь не идет о том, насколько это, кажется, влиятельная песня на все любимые жанры будущего. Лучшая песня - Tomorrow Never Knows.
..
Certainly not the "best" Beatles album, but the bridge between their two distinctive periods. Even more defined by the fact that the Beatles stopped touring, allowing them to focus fully on recording and innovating in the music space. By treating this as the bridge, we are able to see society step over the previous walls of pop music and see what potential music had to offer them. Undoubtedly these techniques have been copied into both digital and analog effects and modern practices. 3.5/5
It's real good, but every one already knows that. Will I listen to again: 75%
It's good, not their best in my opinion.
Super chill and positive. You can tell a lot of artist were influenced by the sound. Need to give it another listen on shrooms. 3.7/5
First Beatles album. Interesting to spend some time listening to such an influential album.
Great album, but I am not a huge fan of it. The sitar gets on my nerves after a while. Nevertheless you have Elenor Rigby, And your bird can sing, Taxman on it and they are classic Beatles songs. Worth checking it out, but i think there are better Beatles albums than this
The album where the Beatles grew up.
If this was the only Beatles album I think I would give it a five. It definatley place with my other fives. However, compared to some of their other albums this is not my favourite. First there are some great songs on here "Elenor Rigby", "I'm Only Sleeping", "Love you too", "For No One".... etc. etc. But there are some tracks that I don't think are as good (looking at you "Yellow Submarine"). Honestly it's a cool album (and album art) but it misses that really killer track and has some unusual lows when the experimentation goes wrong. That being said the ending track "Tomorrow never knows" is a cool way to finish the album. So a 5 for any other band but a 4 because otherwise all Beatles albums would be 5s more or less.
This is always cited as their best, or top three at least, isn't it?
Even as a renowned Beatles hater, I'm man enough to admit when they were kind of cooking. I say 'kind of' because despite the highlights, there's some definite filler on here, looking at you 'Yellow Submarine', 'Doctor Robert', 'I Want To Tell You'. The highlights make up for it though, songs like 'Eleanor Rigby' and 'For No One' are fantasticly written little things, short and to the point with great ideas. Then the best for me is 'Love You To' and 'Tomorrow Never Knows' (a 10/10 if i've ever heard one), where they really get their hands dirty trying to experiment. It's a shame they didn't walk down this path more, as it's always annoyed me how they clearly have the ability to do something interesting, but often just fell back into safe pop-rock.
Yesss. To me, this is their strongest album in terms of cohesiveness. “Yellow Submarine” belongs on Sgt Pepper’s and of course, in their typical fashion, you have chamber music mixed in amongst experimental (and brilliant) numbers like “Tomorrow Never Knows.” Yet somehow, it flows. “For No One” is definitely in my top 5 of fave Beatles’ songs, so I love this album special for that. 4.5
Great record. You can see the members starting to take their own path on this album. It's a testament to their popularity (and the time) that songs like "Elenor Rigby" and "Love to You" could be popular despite having only strings/sitar accompaniment. Probably another example of an album only the Beatles could make. 4.7
If nothing else, Beatles detractors have to at least admit that the band never stagnated in terms of their sound. Their innovation and creativity in Revolver is a lot of fun to listen to, even if the lack of coherence puts it below other Beatles albums on my personal tier list - only because I prefer records to come together as a full, consistent package. From the strings in Eleanor Rigby to the sitars in Love You To, the soul and R&B leanings of Got to Get You Into My Life to Yellow Submarine as sort of a precursor to Sgt. Pepepr, you have to appreciate the boldness to have so much variety in a 35-minute album. Not all the songs will appeal to everyone's tastes, but when they do, they really do. Standouts for me are Here, There and Everywhere, She Said She Said, Good Day Sunshine, And Your Bird Can Sing, I Want to Tell You, and Got to Get You Into My Life.
yeah. good album.
favourite: i'm only sleeping, here there and everywhere least favourite: love you to mayb 7-8/10
A record influenced by the era of drug experimentation, Eastern meditation, and peace-loving hippies, Revolver in a lot of ways feels like a zeitgeist of the decade it was created in. The rather avant-garde nature of its tracklist and the variety of sonic influences ranging from Indian influences on songs like Love You To, more pop-centric songs like Yellow Submarine, to psychedelic drugtrips such as the closing track Tomorrow Never Knows ultimately demonstrate Revolver at its boldest.
An incredibly diverse album with an insane amount of standouts. Docking a star because of the libertarian anthem that kicks this bad boy off.
Taxman - 4.5 Eleanor Rigby - 5 Im Only Sleeping - 4 Love You To - 3.5 Here, There and Everywhere - 4.5 Yellow Submarine - 4 She Said She Said - 4 Good Day Sunshine - 4.5 And Your Bird Can Sing - 4.5 For No One - 4.5 Doctor Robert - 3.5 I Want To Tell You - 3.5 Got To Get You In My Life - 5 Tomorrow Never Knows - 4 Average - 4.1 Not the best Beatles album but definitely an iconic classic 👍
Not my favorite Beatles album, but it's still the Beatles.
"Yellow Submarine" is a bar song, and no one will convince this reviewer otherwise. The catchiest song however goes to "Eleanor Rigby". This album is the Beatles. They are a known entity, their expectations pretty straight forward. Their popularity very settled, this album is a testament to their growth and evolution as a band, while also spelling the beginning of their arguable descent into artists with solo aspirations, creative differences, and conflicting relationships... and drugs. Granted, the latter might have been more present than anyone cares to admit, but this album shared some of the traits of being experimental and story-telling, almost completely shedding the clean-shaven, well-dressed remnants of early 60s rock that itself was a dying theme from the 50s.
Not a bad Beatles album honestly. I am not the biggest fan by default. I will likely listen again if I'm in the mood for Beatles. 4/5
Pass, will listen on CD at some point
Taxman Eleanor Rigby I’m Only Sleeping Here, There and Everywhere Yellow Submarine Got to Get You Into My Life Their voices are iconic. Beautifully constructed bars and harmony. Lyrics sound meaningfully and not just a bunch of nonsense. Solid album through and through
Таааааак...... Банда отморозков из Ливерпуля творит историю. Первый из серии шести на мой взгляд по настоящему великих альбомов битлов, оценивать такое без оглядки на историческую значимость довольно проблематично."Eleanor Rigby" вообще великая песня, "tomorrow never knows" один из первых звоночков будущей психоделичной эры их творчества,"I'm only sleeping" один из любимых фановых заходов Леннона, "Got to get into my life" "For no one" и "I want to tell you" по битловски легкие,воздушные и минорные песни в то же время обладают такой мелодической мощью что потом еще долго не выходят из головы. Вообще мелодическая мощь это наверное лучшее описание этого альбома. Revolver конечно не самый мой любимый альбом этой банды но тем не менее игнорировать весь кайф этой музыки не получится
Classics, love songs, just really enjoyable classic Beatles.
An absolute masterpiece. The Beatles at their creative best - what an album. 4.5/5
Good morning or early afternoon listen
Classic Beatles
I don't think I've ever consciously listened to an entire Beatles album before. The hits are hits but I also liked the less known songs and was pleasantly suprised by the psychedelic vibe some of these had.
Album released on my Dad's birthday 2 years prior to his birth! Album cover is an all-time great This record holds 3 tracks by the Beatles I love. Also, good on them for figuring out stereo recording but Jesus Christ, it's crazy how much they pan some important details to just ONE side only hahaha. I feel bad for people back in the day with incorrectly setup speakers. ------------ Revolver is a landmark album in the Beatles' discography, showcasing a band at the peak of their creative powers. From the introspective beauty of "Eleanor Rigby" to the trippy experimentation of "Tomorrow Never Knows," the album is a kaleidoscope of sounds and styles. Each Beatle shines on Revolver, with George Harrison arguably stealing the show. Tracks like "Taxman" and "Love You To" showcase his growing confidence as a songwriter and his willingness to explore new musical territory. While all four members are essential to the band's magic, there's a strong case to be made for George being the most underrated Beatle on this album. However, it's impossible to ignore the shadow cast by John Lennon's later actions. It's a tragedy that his talent was cut short, and while this review aims to celebrate the music, it's worth noting that his choices ultimately led to his untimely demise. Overall, Revolver is a brilliant and essential album, earning it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. While it may not be flawless, it's a testament to the band's boundless creativity and a reminder of the immense musical potential lost with John Lennon's passing. ------------ Favorite track(s): Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, Love to You, Yellow Submarine (hell yeah), Good Day Sunshine, Doctor Robert, Tomorrow Never Knows
I’ll admit I am a massive fan of this album because as a kid Yellow Submarine was one of my favorite movies and I played the violin. The composition of the tracks, from George's sitar features to the fucking mod nonsense of She Said She Said… this is kinda an unfuckwithable record. To give it less than 4 stars would be criminal.
Having never managed to get into the beatles deeper cuts, barely grazing the surface with their earlier and most popular hits, this was a breath of fresh air. While at times it feels convoluted and confused by its own being, there are some tracks ("tommorow never knows" "Doctor Robert") that feel genuinely fresh...
Some perfect tracks in there
Good album but not as good as the white album. 3.5/5
Not my fave Beatles album, but there are some personal faves on here.
Good Indian song was... Different
Great album. I feel they may have leaned on the eastern influences a little too much for what they got from it.
Got some classics on here but doesn’t compare to some of their other stuff
not my favourite beatles album but many good songs
another solid beatles album...
We all live in a yellow submarine
decent but not my fav beatles songs
Fun, upbeat, some hits not as memorable but overall good vibes.
Beatles!
The Beatles are just wonderful. They did so much to change the face, or perhaps I should say the sound of popular music. Of course, they were influenced by people like Buddy Holly, but their influence is so far reaching. Never listen to this particular album before. New number of the songs on it already. Yes, I would definitely listen to this one again.
Because it´s just the Beatles I had to listen to it several times. At the date of release "Revolver" had sure been a 10 out of 5 stars. But from todays perspective for me it´s just a very good, well aged album.
Look and listen, this is a landmark album and all Beatles albums are 4s and 5s for me. However, this is a collection of some of the more meh songs from them in my mind, She Said, She Said is a standout but the rest (almost all classics) don't really make a dent with me. Would probably go 3.5 here if I could.
For no one Tomorrow never knows
3.5
they can never make me hate you, beatles YELLOW SUBMARINE IS AN ABSOLUTELY GOD-TIER SONG FOR BOTH CHILDREN AND TWEAKERS ALIKE
Nice Beatles album. Had never listened to this album but contains a lot of well known songs.
First three songs are really solid, Elenoar Rigby being one of their best songs, period. Then tracks 4-7 don’t do much for me, before there’s banger after banger until the end, only interrupted by the silly Doctor Robert. Discovery of the day: For No One
A good Beatles album, but it's one of the few albums that doesn't have a ton of hits. A good album, but definitely not one of their best.
I had written a well thought out review of this album but it didn't save. That makes me sad.
not their best, imho
Legends
achh d beatles <3
Some veerry nice songs !!
I'm biased, this is my favorite Beatles album. It's the only one we owned growing up so I listened to it hundreds of times. I still love it. A bunch of great songs on here. Lots of technical innovations that influenced a lot of music to come out of the late 1960s. Also, Yellow Submarine.
Y'know despite probably having heard like 80% of everything The Beatles ever released, I'm not sure how often I've sat down and listened to one of their actual ALBUMS - it's always been the countless collections they've released over the years, or a carefully-curated playlist of b-sides and rarities that one of my record shop colleagues put together to impress people. So I think this is the first time I've ever actually listened to Revolver despite being familiar with nearly all the songs. For starters I didn't even know Yellow Submarine was on this album, which is still absolutely appalling and will forever stand as testament to why you should never take so many drugs that you let the drummer do a song. Rest of it's grand though
Every Beatles album is sone new direction. Eleanor Rigby is the best one off this set, I think. This album is only 2 years after Eight Days A Week and feels like a new decade.
Adoro Eleanor rigby nah mu bueno
I had forgotten how many very good songs there are on this album
More uneven than I remember, but still a great songwriting showcase. Hard not to compare to the rest of The Beatles’ output, so this misses five stars by missing the highs of other (presumably on this list) great albums.
Overall this album had a lot of what I would call hidden gems. There were a lot of tracks outside of E.R. and Y.S. that I remember but never really sought out. They are some of my favorite tracks as well! Overall, this a very good album that I would listen to most of! Track by track reactions: 1 - I'm immediately bothered a bit by the left headphone heavy mix. I won't penalize the album but I hope it rights itself. I like this track! 2 - OK... well the audio engineer is not my favorite person but I'll stop talking about how this is now right ear heavy. Love this song! Is this one of my top 5 Beatles tracks? I guess we will find out but it is certainly in the convo. 3 - I think I've heard this one before. It is a fine slow head bopper. For a second I got a Smashing Pumpkins vibe. I wonder if this one helped influence some of their more chill tracks. Someone ask Billy Corgan if he likes this one! 4 - Interesting intro. Certainly some instruments on this one that I cannot confidently identify. This song wasn't really my jam. It was ok. 5 - Nice lullaby if you're in the mood for one. 6 - Tough to give this one a fair listen. To me, it has always been kind of goofy and silly. I can't really take it seriously. It used to actually bother me to listen to but now I am more neutral. 7 - A fine track 8 - Oh I like this one but I always forget about it. One of the standouts from this album for sure. 9 - Another one that I am familiar with and like but forget about! Is this the album of forgotten favorites? 10 - This is a nice one as well. I am swaying in my chair. I cannot remember if I've heard this one before but I'd never skip it. 11 - Oh we're rocking now. This one is a groove! 12 - Nice vocals. Did I catch some dissonance in the piano? I didn't like what I heard. I'm sure it is on purpose but the purpose eludes me. It messes up my enjoyment a bit. 13 - Oh I like this one. I almost get a Ben Folds Five vibe (specifically Reinhold Messner). I cannot put my finger on it. It may be the horns along with this general vibe. 14 - Some of track 4's instrumentation is back but more subtle. This song may be a bit too experimental for me but I respect it.
One of the few Beatles albums I don't think I've ever owned in any format. But still recognize every song.
Good album.
Mega classic... de bra låtarna är så bra att det inte är klokt. Ett par stinkers drar det ner till en stark fyra för mig.
Never listened to the Beatles before but they were good. Favorite song was Eleanor
A classic. Not the beatle's best album, but not far off.
Great album overall although I'm not a big Beatles fan.
I've always been of the mindset that you should never hold any artists to an insanely high standard just because of their name or their fame, or who they've influenced. All that has ever led me to is listening to music that I didn't really want to listen to. What matters far more to me, is how well an album has aged. And for an album that came out in 1966, this has most certainly passed the test. Now I haven't dipped my toes too far into the beatles discography. I love Abbey Road, listened to Sgt. Peppers many times and I'm not too fond of anything released prior Rubber Soul. But have been enjoying the guitar tones, melodies, and those heavenly harmonies on this album. An eargasm just on their own. And ringo can sing, no one can convince me otherwise.
solid stuff
You got a problem I've got a problem solver and the names revolver...ok that has nothing to do with this young upstart out of the United Kingdom that I feel like is going places! I don't think this band made a bad record and giving it anything less than 4 to 5 stars just feels like you're hating for no reason!
FUCK
4.5/5 - Great album. Got To Get You Into My Life was a personal highlight that I hadn't heard before.
It’s not their greatest album but I do love it. There’s a few songs that can be dismissed as filler, but Eleanor Rigby is top notch, and Yellow Submarine has helped to shut my small kids up in the car on so many occasions that I will be eternally grateful. And Tomorrow Never Knows basically kicked off edm/ big beats and The Chemical Bros as far as I’m concerned.
4.5
A little dusty here and there today, this classic Beatles album is still very listenable, especially because of its experimental flavour. I actually didn't know some of the songs, but I've never been a big Beatles fan. All in all, a good work,
It’s obvious that the Beatles are stretching their talents on this album, and it sometimes results in a disjointed feeling- like this could be an album of singles. It’s still great, though, and For No One is a hidden gem and possibly my favorite song of theirs of all time.
A little gnangnan
4.5 not quite a 5
Since 1977 I love to hear Eleanor Rigby, because we discussed this song in a music-lesson at school. The Teacher was Frau Seemann.
For No One is a McCartney masterwork
Great album with some great songs
It is a good one but i liked rubber soul even more
Estilo único y personal de una de las mejores bandas. Canciones muy reconocidas y que han sabido perdurar en el tiempo. Sencillez y elegancia.
Amazing album. Now I'm starting to get why 60's were The Beatles' times. It's their first album on the list for me and I hope not the last. 4.5/5.
One of their better albums, with hints of their earlier pop phase but leaning more heavily toward their psych-rock sound.
I love this album! It's like the perfect segue towards their more experimental albums. Their new approach for songwriting works well, and the songs are great! 8,5 out of 10
I love coming back to the Beatles music. This band is just amazing. These songs are timeless. And the lesser known songs are just as good as the more popular songs. Yellow Submarine is just odd, so it stands out... And by that, it's popular. But it probably the weaker of the songs on the record. It amazes me that each Beatle can play multiple instruments. And they're good at them all. A lot of talent went into this record, and every other record. I didn't know that this was the last Beatles record before they retired as live performers. I can't get sick of the Beatles. It's crazy that I know people who dislike this band. I honestly haven't heard a valid point either. To be a contrarian....
Awesome
Bunch of classics
This is the good stuff.
I think this is the first time I have ever listened to a Beatles album straight through. I really enjoyed most of it. "Eleanor Rigby" has always been one of my favorites and I loved the sitar weirdness of "Love You To". The back half of the album didn't really capture me though. Still all and all a very nice listen.
Almost my fav Beatles album! This was great to listen to and it made me realise how long its been since I popped a whole Beatles album on! Loved it!! I imagine most of their discography will be in this project.
Jevnt over bra, har heldigvis ikkje så mange irriterande sanga (bortsett fra yellow submarine)
La verdad es que casi todas las canciones son buenas.
Where tf did Tomorrow Never Knows some from?
This had some real gems. Yellow Submarine reminded me of Beatles year at my dance studio, it feels like I've heard that song hundreds of times even though I doubt it. I might listen again but cut out Y.S or skip it.
very familiar with this one. Taxman to Eleanor Rigby is a weird 1 2. Both songs are great, but do they hand off one to the other? no way. This album is so sonically lumpy. The Beatles show their expiramental chops on this record but doesn't feel like it comes together.
beatles
as hyped as The Beatles are, this was actually better than I was expecting. They are a little too joyous and whimsical for me, but I can't deny that it's an album full of hits. favourite track : 'Here, There and Everywhere'
I haven't listened to much of the Beatles. Despite being familiar with their hits, diving into this album was a new journey for me. 'Revolver', with its unique and distinct sounds, truly stands out as a product of its time, and it's hard to believe it came from the 60s. This album showcases The Beatles not just as musicians but as true innovators in the music world. While I admire the album's originality and the way it broke new ground in the music industry, I find it's not an album I see myself returning to regularly. There are definitely a few tracks that struck a chord with me, and I will be adding them to my regular playlist. Overall, I'd rate 'Revolver' a solid 4 out of 5 (4.5 if I could do half stars). It's a brilliant piece of music history, but for my personal taste, it doesn't quite hit the mark for constant replay. It's a must-listen for understanding the evolution of music.
Obviously great. Got To Get You Into My Life rules.
It's the Beatles. It is what it is.
Classic beatles, some wonderful songs interspersed with nonsense
Almost certainly a 5/5 in 1966, but not sure it still quite is now. Definitely have to respect the range of musical styles (some of which didn't really exist before this album), but it does clash a bit and there's some stuff on there that doesn't really hold up (yes, Doctor Robert, I'm talking to you!). But the end of the album is magic, the way it builds from I Want To Tell You through Got To Get You Into My Life and then the almost psychedelic dance track to end it off, it's amazing even now let alone nearly SIXTY years ago. Ben's totally right, if you replace the vocalist with a less recognisable voice you'd put this as a mid-90s track rather than a mid-60s one. Almost talked myself into a 5 there, but not quite. 4/5.
Great album. Absolutely great. Over the years, though, I have listened to other albums that deserve 🐐 status and, for as good as this is, it doesn’t give me the same level of warm and fuzzies as the others. Considering this relativity, Revolver gets a four.
This is timed well as Now and Then was released this week. Classic Beatles sound.
Trippy and gangster shit that I cannot believe was made in the 1960's.
I quite enjoyed this. The Beatles are actually pretty good or something. My favorite sing I think was Eleanor Rigby. Definitely an interesting album
Album koji se bavi manifestacijama depresije, usamljenosti i nedostatkom ljubavi u svakidašnjim životima ljudi, te liječenje istih pomoću supstanci (Doctor Robert i Yellow Submarine). Eleanor Rigby najviše iskače iz album. Moćnost gudačkih instrumenata stavlja je u žarište albuma i čini drukčijom pjesmom od ostalih. Ostatak je dosta ujednačen po zvuku, isključujući Yellow Submarine. Posebno mi se dojmila pjesma For no one koja je o gubitku ljubavi kod voljene osobe i nemogućnosti prihvaćanja te situacije. Paulov bas je pun i čist. Stereo zvuk ponekad stvara čudne prijelaze vokala iz desne slušalice u centar kod priključivanja pratećih u refrenima. Inače je jako dobar album koji brzo dosadi ako se često sluša. Pogotovo u odnosu na ostale Beatlesove albume.
Stilbildande. Mycket mer progressivt än jag hade trott
The fab four at their height, a class album of original music. Least liked track was Love You Too, but that's just because of the sitar, I've never heard any music with a sitar that I'd say, that's good.
Classic.
Peak Beatles, for me. Post bubblegum and pre wacko.
Interesting and moving
Never having dived deeply into the Beatles, there were some songs here that I have never heard. I don't know how often I would chose to listen again, but it's a great album. Tomorrow never knows is a song I will revisit. The production is so ahead of its time.
Ok, fine. I get it.
4/5 Great album. Short and sweet. Some all time classics and some interesting experimental tracks. Too much sitar though
Promising young band. Enjoyed this album. Interested to hear if they made anything else.
I think this might be my favorite Beatles album. It's when you really start to hear the drugs come out in their songwriting and it makes the album somewhat of a journey. It's also a point where they seem to round into form with Paul providing poppy hits, John providing a psychedelic slant, and George bringing some wildcard elements that help expand their songs into different genres. Not totally consistent throughout, though, so it's only a 4/5 for me. Personal Favorites: Eleanor Rigby, Love You To, She Said She Said, For No One
I love this album. "Love you to" is such a cool, interesting song to me. Taxman always has a special place in my heart b.c my Econ teacher sang it in a class one time. Its just a sneaky good Beatles album
My favourite Beatles album. Frequently on the record player. Love the psychedelic yet accessible tunes.
Pretty good the beatles live up to their name
Struggled to find the version Inwanted to listen to. 4 stars only because I need to leave room for Sgt Pepper.
This is good and I like it
The Beatles just have that formula, I don't know another way to describe it. This is my first Beatles album for this project, and as a newbie to their music, I can already see why they're maybe the most popular band to ever play. It's not all my cup of tea, but there is definitely a lot here that appeals to me.
Classic.
I always forget what’s on each Beatles album and then I go “well this time I’ll get to hear deep cuts I’ve never heard!” And then I don’t cause I played Beatles RockBand. Anyway, very good. Of course.
This album was released amidst the smoke of a holy war. Lennon famously said in an interview that The Beatles were “more popular than Jesus.” This caused outrage in America, inciting public bonfires sponsored by radio stations. They burned and destroyed Beatles’ albums, and the music was banned from the airwaves in the South. What Lennon meant, of course, was that rock music was replacing God. It was merely an observation that Christianity was losing its influence. And of course so many people hung onto every word Lennon uttered. He was the voice of his generation, a spokesman for his restive peers. He talked openly about drugs and the Vietnam War. He sparked rock journalism: everyone wrote about his Jesus comment. People started listening to the opinions of rock stars, and there was born a quality and truth in rock ‘n roll reporting. This album marked the end of touring for The Beatles. Anti-Beatles’ sentiment was widespread—in Japan, the Philippines, and in America. Besides, touring annoyed the erstwhile Fab Four. They didn’t enjoy touring at all in 1966. There were simply too many distractions, and their songs weren’t suitable to be played live. “Rain” and “Paperback Writer” just didn’t sound good in concert. The Beatles were more than happy to stop touring. In profound relief, Harrison is quoted as saying, “I can stop pretending to be a Beatle.” He and his bandmates could leave behind the limitations of touring—PA systems not being powerful enough for stadium concerts and difficulties in hearing the music over the screaming crowds caused the band’s technical skill to deteriorate. The studio process continued from the experimentation we hear on Rubber Soul, but there are marked differences. The difference between 1965 and 1966 is the difference between the early 60s and the late 60s. Though that looks like an obvious and banal observation, it says a lot as far as The Beatles are concerned, for it is the difference between being live performers and being a studio collective band. The Beatles stopped worrying about appropriate concert music and started considering imaginative sonic and musical ranges. The technology was in the studio, not on the stage. The beauty of “Taxman”, for example, is that it sounds like it could be live, but in fact there’s no way they could have done it justice in front of a crowd at that time. “I’m Only Sleeping” evokes a dreamlike mood with a dual-guitar solo played backwards. “She Said She Said” (a surreal tune about Lennon’s first LSD trip), “For No One” (wherein the clavichord and French horn are dominant), and “Love You To” (sitar as main instrument) were hardly concert-appropriate songs. And how the hell would they ever have been able to play “Tomorrow Never Knows” live? This masterpiece displays a world of new capabilities. It’s our first look into Lennon’s intoxicating, terrifyingly wonderful mind. A one-chord drone throughout the song is outside pop rock sensibilities, and the use of tape-loops and vocal processing technology place the piece firmly in the annals of psychedelia.
Cat: one of my faves from the Beatles
Classic Beatles.
The highs are high, and the lows are LOW
So many great songs, especially "Eleanor Rigby".
Good
I'm not going to say anything intelligent about the Beatles that hasn't been said before - but there are more ideas on a single album, here on Revolver, than some of their peers experienced in their careers. It doesn't all work. Some of it sounds a bit dated. That's the price you pay for being innovative. Still, for every moment of silliness, there's something beautiful. Revolver didn't blow my socks off, but it was a very pleasant experience in all.
Some of my favorite deeper cuts, if there is such a thing with this band, are on this record. “I’m Only Sleeping” and “For No One” would be the best two songs ever by most bands on this list. Here they are relegated to being strong complimentary pieces. And that’s kind of how I feel about the album as a whole. It’s not my favorite Beatles record, but good lord does it compliment the overall story of this band exceptionally well.
Sets the standard for most modern music. Some great tracks here, well composed and lyrically great. Enjoyed this album alot, classic Beatles in every way.
Overall a great album, I can't believe I never listened to it the whole way through. I've heard all the songs in various anthologies but there's something special about listening to the album as originally intended. Here are some notes by track: 1. Tax Man - One of my all time favorites, always listen to it when doing my taxes 2. Eleanor Rigby - Brings back memories of a 45 on my Fisher Price record player when I was 6 years old 3. I'm only sleeping - Lazy/Crazy, what a great rhyme 4. Love you to - Not my favorite, could do without it 5. Here, there and everywhere - Not bad, decidedly 60's 6. Yellow Submarine - See #2, it was the flip side 7. She said, she said - Not bad 8. Good day sunshine - It makes me smile 9. And your bird can sing - I like it 10. For no one - This is a great song about broken heart denial 11. Dr Robert - I zoned out for this one 12. I want to tell you - Thumbs up 13. Got to get you into my life - Love it! 14. Tomorrow never knows - Trippy
I enjoyed this album more than some other times I’ve tried to get into the Beatles in the past, when I’ve wanted to like their music more but just found I couldn’t get into more than a handful of songs. There was a lot I liked in this, even if some of the songs were forgettable. “Tomorrow Never Knows” is one I tagged for more future listens.
Amazing Beatles favourite track I'm only sleeping or here there and everywhere but she said she said she said for no one good day sunshine and of course tomorrow never knows all amazing tracks as well
Probably the best Beatles album.
Another Beatles album, another >= 4/5
fuckin cockroaches
Taxman is a banger, but it really makes boomers make sense. Classic album, but I’m getting a little tired of the Beatles and their associates rn 1001albums
Great album but the beetle have done better
I don’t think I have ever listened to a whole Beatles record. I am pretty sure I have most only listened to compilations. This is a really great record. Many of the songs I have been hearing my whole life yet it still sounds fresh.
🌊
Side one is a five star, no question. Side two just isn't quite to the same standard.
Good album, solid tracks, Beatles are a great band, what do you want from me? I don't know if they deserve all the hype but there are good and fun tracks here, some of which I've been listening to for decades. Favorites: Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, Taxman, Here There and Everywhere
4/5 This had some great songs on it. We still haven't come across my favourite album yet though. I really loved the Indian influence on them. I just really like Indian music. It was a solid album.
Yeah okay, I kinda like the Beatles, what of it? Jokes aside, good album, punchy and kept me engaged.
After including some psychedelic influence on their last album, the Beatles seem content to embrace it a bit more with Revolver. That being said, the album is content to starts strong with the upbeat freakbeat Taxman, followed closely by the incredibly Elanor Rigby. A pure Baroque pop masterpiece that almost certainly has not been topped since. I think, more than anything, Revolver showcases the willingness of the Beatles' experimentation. Trying new sounds, varying songwriting, not being afraid to get silly. Revolver contains some of the Beatles best songs and it represents a huge turning point for the band. I know some people will prefer other Beatles but Revolver is an easy standout.
1. Taxman var en skön låt 2. Eleanor Rigby fantastisk låt 3. Im only sleeping är bra 4. Love to you ingen favorit 5. Here, there and everywhere mysig låt 6. Yellow submarine bättre än förväntat. Lite meme låt 7. She said she said. Helt ok 8. Good day sunshine. Refrängen sämre än resten av låten 9. And your birds can sing. Skön låt 10. For no one. Riktigt bra 11. Doctor Robert början var dålig blev lite bättre 12. I want to tell you. Ingen favvo 13. Got to get you into my life helt ok slutet var riktigt bra 14. Tomorrow never knows weird låt skum men skön
Lot of good songs on this album. Eleanor Rigby is still one of my favorites. Varied sounds and styles. Solid 4.
A LOT of classics on this one, from Eleanor Rigby to Yellow Submarine and a few more.
Another album that's vastly superior in mono. I definitely prefer Rubber Soul, but... it's mid-career Beatles, you gotta love it. They swung wide and hit just about everything out of the park. The songs are short, so you hear a lot of different ideas in 35 minutes. It also means I only have to listen to George Harrison's sitar for 3 minutes-- I never liked his take on Indian music, and it's only gotten worse with time. Everything else is solid as a rock here, though.
A landmark album for The Beatles, and an absolute pleasure to listen to throughout, with only a couple of songs not quite hitting the highs the others reach (e.g. 'Love You To' or 'She Said She Said'). Also I don't care what anyone else says, Yellow Submarine is a banger. Recommended listens: Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, Good Day Sunshine, Got To Get You Into My Life
This marks the beginning of the Beatles experimental phase, both in terms of recording technology and world instruments (sitar, anyone?). The album contains classics like Tomorrow Never Knows, Yellow Submarine and Eleanor Rigby, but some of the songs had not reached that iconic quality of later albums yet. This was a good first try at something different; The Beatles' next album, Sgt. Pepper, would blow the lid off completely. 4/5
we were in a hippie cult for 34 min and 45 seconds
