Revolver

4 stars.

Well, it's the Beatles. To me, this album was the definition of easy listening music. I enjoyed Elenor Rigby and I'm Only Sleeping, but (controversial opinion incoming) I found the rest of the album to be forgettable. Maybe I need to give it another listen?

The best Beatles album, bar none.

top 3 beatles album for me, some all-timer songs on here. still not a fan of yellow submarine's tracklist placement, but i don't mind it as a song. every song is really really good.

Lilting, pre-psychedelia with some all-time classics. It's the Beatles - of course I was already familiar with several songs on this album but had never listened to it in it's entirety. The eastern-inspired instrumental arrangements on Love You To were a highlight. Tomorrow Never Knows is a fantastic closer and sounds well ahead of its time - no wonder really given the Chemical Brothers sampling of it in Setting Sun which didn't seem out of place in the 1990s.

Eleanor Rigby , Yellow submarine.

Tori Amos was on Take 5 and I was delighted to see her first selection was Eleanor Rigby. It is pretty much my favourite Beatles track. I switched between a few different 'remastered' editions while listening to this. There is a big difference between some of them. Hit up the 2022 version if you want bass forward mixing. I've got to play more Beatles to my kids, STAT! Here, There And Everywhere and I Want To Tell You are totally underrated songs. Some real magic moments in this one.

Worst. Album. Ever. Sorry I meant best. Just an amazing line-up of amazing tracks by amazing people. Still sounds as fresh as if it'd been recorded yesterday. So yes, my favourite album of all time.

Favourite song- Eleanor Rigby (it’s a classic Least favourite song-Taxman (didn’t really like the repeat of the word) Album out of 10- A solid 6-7 Listen to it again?- Probably if i was chilling

An incredible achievement. Best track: Eleanor Rigby

From Revolver and onwards (perhaps with the slight exception of Let It Be), everything coming from the Beatles was sheer excellence. I’ll leave it to others to explain why that was the case, but it seems the band simply matured and stopped trying to please the universe.

One of my favorites

I'm always kind of cautious whenever I listen to the Beatles. I had listened to this album before, but I hadn't paid special attention to it. I'm starting to appreciate Eleanor Rigby more, especially because of the strings. Here, There, and Everywhere makes me feel sort of nostalgic for past friendships. Yellow Submarine reminds me of my childhood, because my mom would always play that song for me. I love the guitar riff on And Your Bird Can Sing. This is definitely one of their best albums. Fave track(s): Taxman, I'm Only Sleeping

Þetta er besta plata ársins 1966 og þetta er mögulega besta plata allra tíma. Ég gæti skrifað langa ritgerð um hvað ég elska hana mikið, en ég hlífi ykkur við því. Þið megið bara vita að mér þykir hún best.

Things are starting to get weird, and I'm here for it.

Amazing

Good album. Of course we heard that a lot.

amazing album, I have never heard it from begining to back because my boyfriend loves the beatles and always listen to a lot of songs to them but yeah, Also, amazing cover, I really liked it

Top notch

And your bird can sing , here there and everywhere

my favorite britos

Fantastic

Classic

A solid Beatles album, I appreciate their experimentation with sound and how cohesive the tracks felt. My personal top 5 favorite tracks (in no particular order): Eleanor Rigby, Love You To, Taxman, For No One, and Doctor Robert.

One of the best of all time for sure!

Classic

Flawless. Should be a 6.

Best Beatles album.. Unreal.. A Masterpiece

One of the best. Practically every track is a number one hit.

I didn’t actually just listen to this, but 50+ years of Beatles and knowing many of these songs by heart made me feel like I could give it a pass. Easy 4, probably a 5, but not today.

ya know, it's the beatles.

Ehkä suosikki The Beatlesilta.

great album. surprised how short it was though. i'm only sleeping was a "hidden" gem I hadn't listened to (or at least not in a long time)... 4 or 5 stars this album is pretty evenly great - mixing experimental rock sounds with pop sensibilities.

So so good.

4/5

I mean it’s the Beatles. Also revolver has my all time favorite Beatles song Eleanor rigby. So that’s a 5 from me

Some great songs on this album, also some mids/duds. Also lots of noisey bits, builds and atmosphere of discordance which is cool but not pleasant to listen to.

Not my personal favorite from the band, but a classic. Several of my favorite songs from the band appear here. It's just a good time.

It's not perfection, but it's pretty damn close.

There are several songs on Revolver that sound completely different from any previous Beatles album, or any previous album by anybody. It’s got that edge, that weirdness, that dreaminess that, if reviews from people who lived through it are to be believed, changed music forever. It’s still got those perfect McCartney melodies. It’s got a song called I’m Only Sleeping which has no right to be as good as it is. They released Yellow Submarine as a double A-side with Eleanor Rigby FFS - what more do you want?!

Bang!

I'm not as fair as Mr Wicks

I'm not sure why people dislike albums by the Beatles after Revolver. This is the first time they experiment with their sound and push it that way. I think the albums that come later go more into those depths. This is solid, but definitely not their best work. Finally, it's obvious they loved the invention of stereo audio. Best Songs: Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I'm Only Sleeping, And Your Bird Can Sing Worst Songs: Doctor Robert, I Want To Tell You

Ugh, more Beatles. Yellow submarine reminds of Uncle Jeff and Grandma Morrow's house. Other than that, most other songs same old stuff. Do like Got to get you into my life. And I did think of Shankar's album when I heard Tomorrow never knows and Love you to. Speaking of Shankar, I should have rated him higher. Album released Aug 5th. My college roommate, Ninja's birthday. All I got except a plea for no more Beatles. 1.5 Bonus .5 for reminding me of Shankar.

3 So I think I’m a closeted Beatles fan. This feels especially apparent after having just listened to Beggar’s Banquet. In my mind the Rolling Stones Vs. Beatles argument is settled. I have actually heard Revolver before because Eleanor Rigby is one of my favorite songs. Like before I think this is a more front side album with it feeling kind of tired near the end. I definitely prefer the early career Beatles before they get overly psychedelic, which you can hear edging it’s way into this album. Sweet, Sad, and hooky enough for me to listen again. I think A Hard Day’s Night was stronger, but marginally.

2 Our third Beatles album, and one that falls directly between the past two chronologically. So, it's only fitting my rating should fall there as well. It's interesting to listen to this album third, as it's very much a midpoint marker in the transition from the sound of early Beatles to later Beatles... and I'm learning I prefer the latter (though not drastically). That all being said, this is probably the longest 34-minute album I've ever heard, and I was pretty surprised to learn that the longest song on this album is exactly 3 minutes when I checked in on my listen progress - I just don't feel like there's a ton interesting going on here. Eleanor Rigby is a good song, though as if to counterbalance that, Yellow Submarine is probably one of the hottest pieces of garbage I've heard. As a whole, I didn't hate it, but I definitely felt underwhelmed. (Why is this the biggest band of all-time???? A global average of 4.26 are you kidding me?????) Favorite songs: Eleanor Rigby, Tomorrow Never Knows

They ripped off frank in this one

Ei oo mun suosikki Beatles-levy, mut silti ihan hyvä. Muutama filleri tai vähän liian sekava biisi mun makuun, mut löytyy myös muutama tosi hyvä. Toimii mun mielestä tietynlaisena vedenjakajana ”vanhan” ja ”uuden” beatlesin välissä. Paras biisi: Eleanor Rigby Huonoin biisi: Love you to

Probably best album ever.

This one I think is the real deal, both good and important from start to finish, no filler and no weak songs.

Dude so sick, I'm a sucker for any music with cello and/or horns

Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream. You can't say anything about this album that hasn't been said already. It's the gold standard for pop music. The recording, production, genre crossover, mixture of world music, song writing... everything is on point. I do want to say that the hooks are absolutely killer on this album all around. But I think what stands out the most is the amazing amount of experimental music throughout. The use of Harrison's sitar and Indian classical music, Lennon's lean into LSD influence, McCartney's MoTown influences and step away from traditional love songs, even Starr sticks out with his use of heavy bass drum. Yeah it's a good album.

It's fun to trace a path from Rubber Soul to Sgt. Pepper's. There's still a twee-ness about certain aspects of this record, but the experimental side (be it the psychedelic aspects, or Harrison's flirtation with Asian/Indian music) is really just something to behold. The straightforward tracks are still good, the experimental ones are just super fun. Favorite tracks: "Taxman", "I'm Only Sleeping", "And Your Bird Can Sing", "Tomorrow Never Knows"

I think this is an album that has a higher overall score due to a handful of excellent songs. Eleanor Rigby could be the basis for a 400-level college class. She Said, Good Day Sunshine, and Got to Get You are also fantastic tracks.

It's almost 10% of the challenge and this is just the first The Beatles album. When I started listening to records from this list, I somehow thought The Beatles will be on every other day. I don't think that I am a fan of this band - I do reckon that they are a bit overrated. Certainly a product of their era, that felt new and original many years later, but contrary to some opinions, it's not a universal music. At this point they should be treated as a real trailblazers and innovators, that changed the musical landscape and defined the "superstar" status. We should learn about the band in history books, but I doubt anyone should listen to actual songs or albums - at this point it's just an interesting triva. Well, maybe that's taking it a little too far, but the overall sentiment is there. Meanwhile, the first album by The Beatles on this list is "Revolver". It's a collection of short songs totalling to around 35 minutes, written by all four members of the band. All the tracks are really different from one another. We can hear few songs, that could easily be associated with the early "boysband" days of the group, generic songs with a happy riffs and a unassuming drums, with soft voice of George, Paul and John. At the same time, we have few other songs, which cut deeper than that, like for example "Taxman" written by Harrison - a real psychedelic piece, with a very interesting guitar solo, adding a value to the level of the album. We also have the ever famous "Yellow Submarine", which actually is a really bright spot on "Revolver", and well-known "Eleanor Rigby", which is not as interesting, or original as I imagined. Another interesting song is "Tomorrow Never Knows", a composition written by Lennon, which is also heavily influenced by psychedelic rock genre. Overall, this might be a first time where I feel like I'm "supposed" to give a good rating to the album, just because it is very well known and universally liked. I would rate it at 3,5 stars, but to give it a little more benefit (as a historical context), it will be a round four. Let's see how other Beatles albums compare to this one.

Classic

Discazo

A key album in The Beatles transition from a live act to a studio band. Lots of experimental sounds with the earlier pop song style. Great album.

Finally, after umpteen Beastie Boys and Talking Heads, my first Beatles! Familiarity bias. Even Yellow Submarine.

The thing with the Beatles is not to wonder whether the album is good, but it is to know which one of them is the TRUE masterpiece. "Revolver" is probably my favorite Beatles album pre-Sgt Pepper. So good it makes up for all the crap I've had to listen to this past few weeks. Plus, it has one of my very favorite songs of all time on it : "Tomorrow never knows", which is insanely good. Maybe "Revolver" IS the Fab Four's secret masterpiece, though it is often overtaken by Abbey Road or Sgt Pepper... Can't answer that... But I can definitely say that "Revolver" is a true 5/5 piece of art.

There's nothing much to say, it's a classic. I remember I had my first cigarette to this album.

I don't even know what else there is to say about this album. It's my favorite Beatles album by far and it's just one of the most ahead of its time and unique albums of the 60s. From taxman to tomorrow never knows each song is at the very least good. Eleanor rigby is one of the best Beatles songs and I grew up with yellow submarine just like pretty much every other kid I think. Also, the reverse guitars on I'm only sleeping really struck me the first time I listened to this album a teenager and it still hits me every time now

I actually enjoyed listening to this album. Wouldn’t spend money on it but did enjoy it.

Another album I have in numerous formats, including the original LP I purchased when it was first released in the 60's.

Well this is an easy 5 star. One of my favorite albums of all time and I could be persuaded into saying the best album of all time. While rubber soul was the first change in direction this album they really brought all different kinds of elements but yet keep that pop sound. A masterpiece.

I like most (but not all) of the Indian raga influence on this record. And it’s just packed with such a diverse set of songs it’s almost unbelievable how they could go in so many different directions at once, and do it so well.

Yeah, the Beatles are great.

This is another easy 5 star. Picking a favorite Beatles album is like picking a favorite child. You just can’t do it. But this might be my favorite. For this review I listened to both the 2009 Mono and Stereo remaster. Like most early to mid Beatles albums, I much prefer the Mono, but this is the first one where it’s close. They don’t always pan the vocals all the way to one side, and actually play with the stereo mix sometimes in interesting ways. The mono is still my preference though. I’m really looking forward to listening to Giles Martin’s new stereo mix when it’s released. Would be more than 5 stars if I could. This album is on my list of top 10 personally influential albums of all time.

Un classique, probablement mon prefere des beatles. 5

Lots of really good songs. Felt 20-30 years ahead of its time. Personal highlights are Eleanor Rigby, Love You To, and Tomorrow Never Knows

Not everything here is perfect. But it is unbelievable to think this was 1966. This album has enough in it to be a score of albums for other popular bands. It also inspired scores of more bands because there is depth here from a group that just like exploring the center to edge of music and back again.

Punyal!

Classic, but felt disjointed

Way better than I expected. I won't say it's perfect, but this album makes me appreciate music more as a medium of art overall. The songwriting is so expressive and experimental, it really put me into their heads. It feels like an anthem for the era; a signpost of youthful innocence transforming into a worrisome, unknown future with one foot anxiously and excitedly still in both worlds. There's a handful of tracks that still sound like more simple, sweet pop songs which I was not into as much, but they serve to represent the duality I appreciated nonetheless. Also Yellow Submarine sucks. I don't think I'd have appreciated any of that if I'd heard this earlier in life, so thanks to this project coming along at the right time. Highlights: Tomorrow Never Knows, For No One, I'm Only Sleeping Lowlights: Yellow Submarine, Here There & Everywhere, Got to Get You Into My Life.

I‘m aware of the fame that the beatles have but the only song that ever did it for me is „Yesterday“. Nothing on this album impressed me personally or stayed in my mind once it was over, not one song made me „listen up“ and it mostly just passed me by. The „beatle voice“ also doesn‘t do anything for me and I find it a little bit annoying if I‘m fully honest. I can hear that there is something, but it missses me completely.

Second favorite beatles album easy 4/5

4/5

relisten

I watched the movie from this album I believe !

Fundamental aproveitar todas as oportunidades para reconhecer a qualidade da criação e evolução criativa deles.

Classic Beatles. Creative, innovative

Goed album, nog niet het hoogtepunt maar wel paar klassiekers

I had listened to the later Beatles much more. I’d definitely been sleeping on this one. For No One is a great underrated tune. I love the that big fat bass sound with the trashy drums on Taxman and so many other Beatles tunes. There are so many great vocal harmonies all over this album. I like the Indian influenced sounds. I wonder why rock sitar never really became a popular sound other groups. I love all the songwriting except for Yellow Submarine. Tomorrow Never Knows really is an amazing track. The melody is so hypnotic over that iconic groove and I love all the drones and crazy tape loops. Deeply satisfying sonically and The lyrics are deep too.

This is actually a pretty great album (besides yellow submarine) the songwriting is great Listened on an original mono pressing and noticed a bunch of stuff that I haven’t noticed before on the remasters/digital versions. Taxman and I want to tell you are my favorites, both Harrisons. I guess he’s my fav They sound good on the parlor music type McCartney songs, but it is tough listening to them play rock n roll because they are always just holding on for dear life with the feel/groove

So I feel like this album is a good Beatles album for me to listen to because I’m not familiar with the majority of the songs. The melodies are really beautiful especially in “I’m only sleeping”. Lyrically, I just don’t connect. Also, I think the mood of each song is so similar that the sad songs don’t seem so sad.

I don't know, beyond Elanor Rigby and the novelty of yellow submarine actually found this a bit boring. I get it was them trying out different sounds and deliberately being jarring. but to me listening now doesn't make me want to listen again.

Top 3 Beatles album

Yeah. Peter frampton is like The Bee Gees an example of 70s excess. But damn it, they are wonderful. So well crafted. Stand outs are of course show me the way, baby I love your way, and do you feel like we do.

the best

My favorite Beatles album

Old old old...

Yup

Amazing

Very good. Experimentality was a surprise. 5

Arguably their best album. God tier album.

The best!

I like the Beatles, but I've only heard individual songs. I listened to the whole album in this format and enjoyed it.

Good album, better than The Beatles' earlier stuff

My least disliked Beatles album. Has the best line of any Album though: she keeps her face in a jar by the door

First Beatles album of the generator! Actually found it pretty good.

Very good

feel good

luego del gran cambio musical de los beatles a partir del "rubber soul" (el cual dejaba aspectos mas folk rock) el cual impulsaria a bandas como "the beach boys" a realizar trabajos competentes a tal obra, ej: pet sounds, la represalia del fab four no tardaria en llegar un año despues a este con el titulo de "revolver", para mi gusto un disparo de revolver a la industria. aca llegaria el cambio definitivo soltandose un poco de ese estilo tan merseybeatero que los identificaba a llegar a por lo que los conocemos al dia de hoy. por muchos el mejor disco de psychodelic pop, para mi, el mejor disco de los beatles sin duda alguna. fav songs: taxman eleanor rigby ✰ here, there and everywhere ✰ she said she said ✰ got to get you into my life ✰ tomorrow never knows 5.0, realmente este album estaria entre mis 5 albums que tenes que escuchar antes de morir

Beatles are no doubt 5-worthy, but I can't say that this album features enough 5-worthy songs.

You can sense the transition in writing from Help! to Sgt. Pepper's in this album. Pretty cool.

One of my top 10 albums of all time

What is there to say? Probably their best album, so good that it contains their worst song by far (yes, worse even than the throwaway stuff on the White Album and Let It Be) yet still is unimpeachably excellent and ground-breaking. Sensational

Revolver is great 5/5. A lot of great tracks, some of the mixing is a bit tin-ny. Which works for the groovy/ psychedelic tracks not so much for the others though. I did not enjoy yellow submarine that much. The change from here there and everywhere to yellow submarine was hating lol. Going from something complex to something so simple. Standout tracks Taxman (groovy af 🔥) Eleanor rigby 🔥 Here, there and everywhere 🔥 And your bird can sing For no one (fuck the French horn part btw, I thought there was something wrong with my car when it first came on 😮‍💨) Doctor Robert (groovy af 🔥) I want to tell you Got to get you into my life 🔥🔥 (mixing is a bit tin-ny though) Tomorrow never (dies) knows🔥 (hella psychedelic)

Genuinely not a bad track on this album and many that are just Beatles at their best. I can understand why why this is considered to be the best album they did, is a look back at their past and a sneak preview of where they were going

Top 3 Songs: 1 - For No One (10) 2 - Eleanor Rigby (2) 3 - She Said She Said (7)

Lots of fantastic songs. Doesn't play as well as some of their other albums, but that's a high bar. I often go out of my way to hear "Taxman" and "Doctor Robert."

A real turning point for music. Although the stereo mix sounds a bit lopsided on headphones now, this is a huge evolutionary step in using the studio as an instrument. I'd say Sgt Pepper's is a bit more polished and has a more unified concept to thread it all together, but Revolver is an amazingly impressive trial run. The ultimate balance of experimentation and catchy accessibility.

Some cool stuff in playing the studio and doing a ton of different types of recording/songwriting techniques. Apparently some consider this their best album, but I don't think I can get that far behind it. To me it starts the new chapter of the Beatles, one of doing whatever the heck they want and doing it for them vs. performances.

FINALLY I get a Beatles album; FINALLY I get a record I actually own on vinyl (because I live in the US however, I have to listen to it on two separate albums because Capitol was run by a bunch of greedy bastards). Revolver was really the first Beatles album I became intimately familiar with as an adult - as a kid, you know the hits, but you’re not old enough to understand how each album functions. Revolver wasn’t the Beatles’ first great album, but for me, it’s the first one that was truly revolutionary. Songs like “Taxman”, “I’m Only Sleeping”, “She Said She Said”, “And Your Bird Can Sing”, “Doctor Robert”, and of course, “Tomorrow Never Knows” cement this album as on of the greatest and most musically-progressive albums of all time. I don’t think this is the “best” Beatles album, but it just might be my favorite.

Remastered stereo version on Spotify. Super jarring mix and master, making the songs almost unlistenable. I'm sure there's greatness here, I just wasn't able to find it.

safe album. sing songy. has eleanor rigby, love you to, yellow submarine, here there everywhere. 8/10

This is one of the many Beatles albums I never listened to, having grown up with the collections and then the White Album and Abbey Road (still two of my all-time-favourite albums). I'm sure it was an amazing step forward in its day, but if I just rate it for how much I liked it / how likely I am to want to listen to it again, 3.5 stars. Some great songs, some that just don't grab me. Maybe it's a familiarity problem?

For most of my adult life, my reply to the query “What’s your fave Beatles album?” was Revolver. When It was released, I’d just turned 16. The same day it was released, the new Beatles’ single was released - in Australia, the A-side was, unbelievably, Yellow Submarine. The B-side was Eleanor Rigby, one of McCartney’s greatest compositions. None of the Fab4 play on it. George Martin claimed his score for the strings was inspired by Hitchcock’s favourite composer, Bernard Herrman. It’s exceptional. McCartney was also responsible for Got To Get You Into My Life & Good Day Sunshine, both up-tempo belters, and two beautiful ballads, For No One (just Paul & Ringo) and Here, There And Everywhere (with beautiful vocal harmonies which Paul claimed was inspired by Brian Wilson’s God Only Knows). George got 3 songs on the album, more than ever before, including the opening track, Taxman, on which Paul played lead; Love You To, with George on sitar, Anil Bhagwat on tabla & no other Beatle taking part; and I Want To Tell You. Ringo got to sing Yellow Submarine, which was actually a #1 single. And Lennon featured on I’m Only Sleeping; She Said She Said (inspired by an acid experience with Peter Fonda); the wonderfully poppy And Your Bird Can Sing; Dr Robert (re a NY dealer who supplied hallucinogens); and Tomorrow Never Knows, a track which single-handedly changed the course of popular music. We’d never heard anything like it before. But then, we’d never heard anything like The Beatles before. This is a great record.

This is my favourite Beatles album, which I measure by the album I am most likely to put on the turntable. I don't even really know where to start with reviewing this. I think, pound for pound, Revolver is the best album by the best band ever. Eleventy-five bazillion stars.

Such an incredible collection of songs. And the sequencing is so bold. A lot of perfect segues but also a lot of sudden left turns. Somehow I never quite heard this line on “Taxman”: “Now my advice to those who die / Declare the pennies on your eyes.” That’s so good. Really funny. “I’m Only Sleeping” blew my mind a little when I first heard it. It’s such a perfect song about that feeling of not wanting to wake up. I didn’t realize at the time that you could just write a song about a very specific feeling. It seemed kind of radical and freeing that a song or story or any art could be about something mundane as long as it captures a feeling. “She Said She Said” and “And Your Bird Can Sing” are such great rock songs. So tight and lean. “I Want to Tell You” and “Got to Get You Into My Life” each could have been an incredible closing track. Instead the Beatles do one after the other and follow them with “Tomorrow Never Knows,” the most experimental track on the whole album. It’s such a ballsy, brilliant move. “Sgt. Pepper” gets all the credit for being a perfect pop album that dabbles in psychedelia but this album came first and checks all those boxes even better. Of course, “Sgt. Pepper” is great too but “Revolver” could just as easily be the one everyone touts as the “greatest absolutely ever” - it deserves that title just as much or more. Like, if this isn’t a top ten rock album, nothing is. (I gotta start keeping track of how many albums I give the top ten title to 😂 I’m probably about half way to ten and we still have around 879 albums to go.) Listening to this on nice headphones in flawless remastered audio was distracting at first. I think sometimes these remastered versions can almost be too perfect when you get up close to the songs. But I did hear a few new details in the mix that I’d never heard before - a finger snap here, a surprising instrument there - which was cool.

It's the Beatles, It's Revolver, It's Eleanor Rigby, It's Yellow Submarine! Easy 5/5 record for those two tracks alone. Eleanor Rigby is one of my favorite Beatles songs and is probably my favorite pop song to ever use a modal scale instead of the stereotypical major/minor tonalities that you hear in 99.9% of popular American music. While my opinion on Beatles records tend to shift every few years, right now the Revolver/Sgt. Pepper's/Magical Mystery Tour era isn't really my favorite and I've been loving the early raw pop sound from their first ~3-4 albums, but this one is such an enjoyable listen and entry into their fun experimental phase. I'm so glad that the Beatles have finally appeared on this list for us. People don't sit down and simply listen to them enough even though their music is ubiquitous and I love having a reason to plop my behind down and put them through some good speakers.

Elenore Rigby is the best song on the album. Everything else is pretty okay.

Favorite tracks are Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, and Got To Get You Into My Life especially. Perfect record.

What can I say... Top 3 Beatles albums, hence in the top 3 albums in my book.

One of the best Beatles albums

This must be when they started to get weirder. This feels built out of random pieces. Some are straight forward, some are very odd, and Eleanor Rigby, which I'm finally hearing in context, and enjoy, is very out of place in the track order.

Perfect album

4 stars

Another Beatles album. This is number five. Seriously is the whole discography on this list? Not everything that the Beatles did was great. Never have I thought to myself, "Oh boy! Let's listen to an entire Beatles Album!" This album is no different, but at least the songs are concise and the album is short. Naturally, a lot of the songs are recognizable, but does that mean I needed to listen to the entire albu? The songs weren't as eccentric as other Beatles albums, save for a couple, but there were quite a few campy songs - I am looking at you, Yellow Submarine. Eleanor Rigby is the best song hands down. A Beatles song here and there is fine, and I will probably listen to some of these songs again, but the entire album is not necessary.

Great album

Wonderful.

9/10. Most enjoyable

Probably the Beatles album that grew on me the most from when I first heard it. 10/10

Geez, leave some sweet melodies and groundbreaking innovations for the rest of the music industry. How does 'Tomorrow Never Knows' still sound so fresh 57(!!) years later?

Listened to this album the other day. Listened to it again today. Will most certainly listen to it again soon. The cover also prominently features Lennon with a fake beard. Very cool. Best: Eleanor Rigby / I’m Only Sleeping / She Said She Said / For No One

I’m not the biggest Beatles fan 😬. But the album is good

one of the beatles best albums for sure. cant say much that hasnt been said before in a more intelligent way

Eleanor Rigby is one of my fave songs ever.

Top 3 najbolja albuma od recimo poznatog benda Beatles. Meni njihov najbolji, al neb dao pet, huh.

One of the best Beatles albums. Has a minimum of their ridiculous songs.

My favourite Beatles album and the only one I listen to from beginning to end. I think this is the Beatles at the peak of their powers.

I’ve loved this album for years, some of Paul’s best songs are on here, incredible production, easy 5 stars.

Some obvious good songs, but some that feels to me like they were throwing things at the wall to see what stuck.

The Beatles strength lied in their deep musical abilities and their willingness to experiment. This album is a result of hard work, dedication to craft, and skill. It's unfortunate that their fandom constrained them.

definitivamente não é o melhor de beatles

Great album, really shows the beginning of how the Beatles matured as a band in the second half of the 60s. I love nearly every track on the album and grew up listening to a few (Yellow Submarine, Good Day Sunshine). Many are very catchy and hard to get out of your head. Save Here, There and Everywhere I could listen to this entire album all the way through. Fav Track: And Your Bird Can Sing (so hard to choose! Maybe Eleanor Rigby? Got To Get You Into My Life?) 5/5

Classic album. I think Tomorrow Never Knows is my favorite but every song is good. The weirder the better.

One of their best albums. I love all the quirky songs on this except the last one. Love to you also isn't my thing (see the pattern?). Still overall 5* for this magnificent piece of history!

With the Beatles I sometimes wonder whether I genuinely enjoy the songs, or whether I just enjoy the fact that I can sing along with literally all of them (indoctrination?). Upon careful reflection of this album, I do have to say that it contains some damn catchy songs. Favourite: Eleanor Rigby.

Ratio: 14.20% Can understand why people love the Beatles, they have such a unique sound, interesting story telling. I just can't get behind the music, it's not for me. Favs: Eleanor Rigby / Got to get you into my life Dislikes: I'm only sleeping / Taxman

Never actually listened to a full Beatles album. Thought I would hate yellow submarine. Actually loved the drums on it. I am enjoying this album more than I though. Low point: doctor robert High point: I am Only Sleeping.

Listened on a summer night.

A nice start to this project; I had never heard this full album, but of course some songs were familiar. It was a smooth listen, though I did not especially love the songs I didn't already know.

Following Rubber Soul, their transformation is refined and almost complete transitioning into their psychedelic phase. Rubber Soul put a focus on folk songwriting and featured forays by Harrison into raga and Starr into country. Here the songs experiment with what their high studio efforts are capable of. Here we have 14 perfect tracks in the span of just 35 minutes. Not a single track is more than 3 minutes, and yet they all feel complete and satisfying. I've listened to this album dozens of times and yet I've never felt the need to extend any of them, nor drop any either. "Taxman" can be seen as a precursor to New Wave-style music (without synths of course). "Eleanor Rigby" is among the most influential track here and stands as a landmark in baroque pop, certainly the best-sounding of its era. "Here There and Everywhere" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" perfect Harrison's raga, and are my favorite Beatles raga songs after Sgt Pepper's "Within You Without You." The psychedelic tracks are by far the most interesting. It's crazy how psychedelic pop was limited at the time to Pet Sounds and 5th Dimension yet they come up with the dream-like "I'm Only Sleeping" or "She Said She Said." I just can't see the natural progression. "And Your Bird Can Sing" is a personal favorite of mine, so short and cheery I just have to sing along every time. "Doctor Robert" is the only weak track I couldn't say much about but I still sing along to it and adore Lennon's vocals. My only complaint is that "Tomorrow Never Knows" should have been the first track to make for the perfect opener and closer ("Got to Get You Into My Life"), but obviously I understand why they didn't.

I don't know what it is about the Beatles that I've never liked. I understand how and why they got popular, and musically they're pretty good, but I just can't get into them enough to delve into their library. This was a new one for me, but again, there isn't anything on here that stands out in my opinion. Pretty generic and dated, there are so many artists from the same time period that are infinitely better in so many ways that I would rather give my time to.

Sublime. 6 stars.

When I started reading music magazines and criticism in the early 2000s, Revolver would be usually listed as the best Beatles album, and usually best album overall of all time. I think I still consider this my favourite Beatles album, but I’ll be listening to the rest of them during the list so I’ll follow up. Really interesting now with the changing tastes in popular music criticism that I don’t think Revolver would be in the top 20 albums list in Rolling Stone. Further, that they would likely list something like Help! or Hard Days Night as their best. I think the notion was in the early 2000s that music that was difficult, non-populist was automatically graded better as the more straightforward, crowd pleasing fare. Revolver is by no means a difficult album. It has Yellow Submarine on it for Gods sake. The deal is though that this is really when the Beatles started exploring what they could do beyond the confines of a record that would translate to being played live on tour. I also realized listening to this today for the first time in like 10 years that this record was so much more influential during the Britpop and post Britpop UK rock music. Oasis obviously, but as well as Kasabian, Coldplay and Keane. Now if younger artists are ribbing anything from the Beatles it’s likely from their first few albums. Crazy how the circle of influence from one band continues going. In another 20 years Revolver will once again sit in the highest esteem of the Beatles output and likely at the top of the Rolling Stone album list. For now though we can enjoy this for what it is, a amazing constructed collection of songs from a band that is going in different directions and succeeding because of it.

Superb

Tää on meikän lemppari the Beatlesilta. Tarpeeks monimuotosta ja tyylikästä. Maniavaihe on selätetty ja ollaan jo bändinä aikuisempia - hippejä, ja vitun kokeilevii siis toki koko levy käytännössä jatkuvaa muutosta. Studiotyöskentely myös aika mintissä koska tää kuulostaa helkkarin hyvältä. 5/5

En oo koskaan oikeen syttynyt tästä. Suuri tason pudotus Rubber Soulista minun silmissä. Muutama erinomainen biisi toki.

Napakoita, vaihtelevia ja ennen kaikkea hyviä kappaleita. mitäpä sitä sen enempää satuilemaan, 5/5.

Dispensa comentários, curto há muito

Hva kan man si

Beatles er gull, men de må alltid trøkke inn en låt som ødelegger for toppkarakter. Yellow Submarine er gøy, men ikke bra.

treng vel ikkje sei så mykje her

Revolver? I barely know her! 5 stars for both this album and that joke. Both classics.

Yes. One of my favorite albums.

When I was younger, I had the "red" and "blue" albums. Pretty much the greatest "hits" of the Beatles. This still had a bit of the whimsy of the earlier albums, but something was definitely looming, something big. The songs still hold up (although I could go the rest of my life never hearing "Yellow Submarine" again) for me, unlike a lot of the other albums we have heard. I can't imagine what it was like to hear this when it was first released, thinking "what IS this? How did they do all of these songs like this?" It's just so varied, but nothing really misses. "Got To Get You Into My Life" is one of my favorites. Those horns come in and, man! I just get this big grin on my face every time. Such a great album.

Great album. Eleanor Rigby is one of my favorite Beatles songs of all time - the musical arrangement and the lyrics. Which brings me to two points. One, people (particularly those in the US at the time) need to get over themselves - can't believe how little airtime this song got because of people's religious views. And two, related to one, it is astounding that this is not a diamond album yet Kid Rock's Devil Without a Cause is. I guess at least people stopped being so uppity on that one. Back to Revolver. I love the different instruments and techniques on this album - especially the Indian-inspired work on Love You To and Tomorrow Never Knows. Also a big fan of the softer songs - Here, There and Everywhere, For No One - sweet and beautiful. Which takes nothing away from the more up tempo songs - Taxman, Good Day Sunshine, Got to Get You into My Life - also fantastic for their fun and energy. No matter the style, they really nail it on this album.

I’m almost afraid to write this review. What can I write about one of the greatest albums of all time that hasn’t already been written and written by much better writers than myself? It’s been decades since I first heard the album, and it still sounds fresh every time I listen to it. I just took a Beatles class this summer (yes, they have those now) and you would think I’d be tired of them after a 6-week deep dive but I’m not. The song “Tomorrow Never Knows” still blows my mind. It’s one of my favorite Beatles songs and I can’t for the life of me figure out how this song it was recorded in 1966 on such primitive equipment by today’s standards. I am fortunate enough to have both the mono and stereo version of this album and they’re both interesting in their own way, but I like the mono mix for most of the tracks (except “Tomorrow Never Knows”). The stereo at the time was simplistically done and some of the instruments that should be further up in the mix (such as the guitar in Taxman) gets a little buried in the stereo version. I could go on about each of the tracks and bore the living hell out of all of you who are reading this, but I’ll just say that both versions get 5 stars.

Easy 5 - a perfect album. Although it's commonly viewed these days as one of the best albums of all time, it's not my favorite Beatles album (behind Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road for me). But it's still perfect start to finish. Favorite tracks: Eleanor Rigby, Taxman, Tomorrow Never Knows.

Meilenstein-Album!

Tja. Beatles. Bei allem Respekt hoher nervfaktor

I love the Beatles when they do more legit rock. Such good stuff on this one.

yir

Stærkt album, en smule eksperimenterende, hverken meget pop eller rock, studie

I really good album with a lot of influential and memorable songs that I really don't connect with

Pretty good, last track is lit.

inoffensive but boring

I don't think I need to explain this album to anyone. It's an absolute masterpiece, whether you like the Beatles or not. And it would be a 10/10 album if Yellow Submarine wasn't on here. Now it's a 9/10. Taxman is also one of the best songs Harrison ever wrote. The tempo, the bassline, the extra cowbell, the sneering lyrics, the guitar solo. It's nigh on perfect.

Was ready to give this a 4 until I heard the last track.

Absolute masterpiece. The first Beatles record I listened to where I finally \"got\" it as a teenager. Elanor Rigby is in my top 5 Beatles songs to this day.

An obvious all time classic. I have to get some sort of physical copy of this though, since the remasters available on Spotify are truly awful.

Brilliant of course.

post drugs beatles. even the songs that you initially can't be arsed with you suddenly remember are quite good.

Try and stop me having a wank in the shower about this. I dare you. Yes, YOU! Come and watch me, you dirty little pervert.

I could write a massive 8 paragraph review of each song if you like, but i think people have heard this album before and there's loads of reviews out there, so why waste everyone's time?

Meh

A fantastic album! It's not my favourite iteration of the Beatles, but damn you hear so much innovation on this record. They are sowing major seeds of influence here that countless acts have been reaping for over 50 years now. I do love that we're treated to George's vocals right off the hop, on the very first track, Taxman. He's my favourite Beatle, he was the very best one, it's indisputable, and I just love listening to him sing. Just incredibly influential and an impressive display from masters at the top of their game.

Probably the best Beatles album. I really like a few tracks

Can definitely see why people thought this was awesome the year before everything changed forever Solid 3

Classic. I actually like Rubber Soul better as an album, but Revolver has some of the best Beatles songs.

One of the best albums of all time, Eleanor Rigby changes what a pop song could be, For No One and Here, There and Everywhere are masterpieces of arranging, and Tomorrow Never Knows is a game changer in cultural terms. Everyone knows it. Yellow Submarine isn't very good tho.

She said

Really good, classic Beatles

and your bird can sing tkm

Excellent album from start to finish. Tons of well known songs. 9/10

Part of the peak before their baroque period. My favorite album of the Beatles.

one of the best of all time

Best band forever. First album cover with no band name on it. Interested in Taxman song, because it is not talking about love. "Taxman" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1966 album Revolver. Written by the group's lead guitarist, George Harrison, with some lyrical assistance from John Lennon, it protests against the higher level of progressive tax imposed in the United Kingdom by the Labour government of Harold Wilson, which saw the Beatles paying over 90 per cent of their earnings to the Treasury. The song was selected as the album's opening track and contributed to Harrison's emergence as a songwriter beside the dominant Lennon–McCartney partnership. It was the group's first topical song and the first political statement they had made in their music.

This album helped to change music as we know it. Advanced from the easy three chord 'light' songs to songs made intended with depth

Этот Револьвер способен "выстрелить" даже в самый худший день зарядом песен на все времена. Чего только стоят Eleanor Rigby и For No One! 9 из 10.

Kind of a hodge-podge of styles and it's quite short for an album with so many songs, so I could nit-pick and dock this a star but there's way too many incredible songs for me to give this any less than 5 stars.

Great album, love the Beatles

not my favorite beatles album but you can see how they are transforming in this album. More experimentation than the first pop albums.

Controversial opinion time: this is a fine album by a fine band, and definitely warrants 4 stars. Not 5, 4. 4 is a great rating for an album, and if you had a 4-star album, your nips should tingle with pride. But it's not a 5-star album, and definitely not in the top 10 best albums of all time in the history of the world... ever!. It's a solid, fun piece of work that delights, but it has some filler and doesn't overwhelm the listener sufficiently to raise it to the most exalted pantheon. Prove me wrong! I know the history, of how this was one of the first albums to push the idea of the studio as instrument, and that it punctuated the Fabs' transition from superior pop quartet to psychedelic Shackletons. But the presence of Tomorrow Never Knows does not negate that And Your Bird Can Sing is filler, in that it's a slightly boring, fairly innocuous three-minuter that, well, fills a quarter of an inch on vinyl. Now, such a statement might make me sound as if I wish to be harsh towards this album, and I genuinely don't. I can happily accept that there's some topmost work on this. But exactly why is this so venerated? I can't suss that out. While I'm here, can I ask if I'm perverse for preferring Yellow Submarine to Eleanor Rigby? The former is a cheery little bit of jest from our mate Ringo, detailing the band's happy adventures under the sea, which is exactly what I want from the Beatles. The latter is an okay, slightly stodgy cut of mild pretentiousness that feels too slight for the subject matter, which is what I don't want from the Beatles. Also, is Taxman that popular a sentiment in this day and age? Who wants to hear about millionaires whinging that they might have to give up a chunk of their money Everest in order to pay for a few schools and hospitals? Am I that out of sync with the rest of the world? Why has a Beatles album led me to question the nature of the human race? And remember kids: John Lennon is still a bit of a tosser.

My favourite Beatles album (it's back and forth between this and Rubber Soul).

I mean...it's Revolver. Possibly my favourite of all The Beatles Work. Although I do endlessly love Abbey Road Medley.

My favorite Beatles album. A classic.

I listened to it for study music, but it didn't make me wanna get up in front of the class and boogie down, so it is not a 5/5. There were a few good tracks but overall it wasn't anything interesting. I need something to wow me.

The best Beatles album. The tightest of the psychedelic era.

great classic album. heavy guitar riffs. both heartbreaking and soulfull lyrics. iconic sound

A couple of real highlights on here... Eleanor Rigby I was aware of due to the Talib Kweli song sampling it, this, the original is super, definitely no what I expected from the Beatles. In addition, Tomorrow Never Knows was also awesome, a great bundle of energy. A few on the other songs appealed less, dropping it a star.

Wonderful, fantastic, love it!

Sublimely entertaining.

Trippy but pretty good.

Elinore Rigby

For me, this is The Beatles’ best album. Their early stuff is great with the harmonies and simple but catchy tunes, then they released Rubber Soul and you got a hint that they were evolving into much more than just a pop band, and then Revolver came out and blew everyone away with the new ground that it broke. With Tomorrow Never Knows, She Said She Said, I’m Only Sleeping, and And Your Bird Can Sing, it’s a really strong album for John. Paul’s contributions to the album are a bit more mainstream but some of his strongest work as well, especially Here, There and Everywhere. George brings a couple of solid tunes as well with Taxman and I Want to Tell You (not so much with Love You To though - the album’s only miss really). It’s eclectic, and the songs just jump off the vinyl. They did great work after this of course, but Revolver was the transition point. 5 stars.

The first album I get on this app and, sure, why not. Great album. But is it great because we know what an influence this album was? Or is it because this and Rubber Soul were the bridge to the great Beatles albums that were to follow?

4/5. It is great.

awesome

Tunes.

I’ve heard many people say this is their favorite Beatles album… and y can’t understand why, I mean the production is great and it is the album that features “I’m only sleeping”, “here there and everywhere” and “for no one” but damn, does anybody really like “love to you” or “dr Robert”? I don’t know it is really uneven, also, yellow submarine is cheesy and quite lame

The stereo panning can be a little jarring depending on what you’re listening on, but the melodies and instrumentation is top notch, of course. I enjoy the harmonies and the unique instrumentation. As a producer myself, I enjoy those little tricks that make the listening experience a little sweeter. The songs are really the difference. Obviously the quality is below current standards, but the songs still sound unique compared to the standard musical fare. There’s a reason why this record is so celebrated. I do not like Yellow Submarine for various reasons. Overall this was a good album, with many great moments. Maybe not the most accessible Beatles album, but one to check out nonetheless. You’re more than likely going to like it.

Discazo

Seems like an instant classic! Fresh ideas 45+ years later and clearly influential.

Pretty good album, the biggest issue was the discovery of panning and the constantly panning of audio to one side or the other caused a bit of annoyance, but I can't really fault them for that in the end. Overall, very solid.

Sólo por tener a Eleanor Rigby se merece de menos 3 estrellas pero no, no es lo único excelente del disco. 14 canciones repartidas en 34 minutos y aún así son piezas bien redondeadas. Sin ser el más fan ni mucho menos un experto, creo que es un disco de transición entre el sonido inicial con el de la psicodelia porque no están mezclados, sino que están presentes en algunas canciones de manera independiente. Creo que ningún disco me había provocado clavarme y poner uno tras otro y éste sí lo logró. 4.5 estrellas que suben a 5 por esta razón. Songs: Eleanor Rigby, Got To Get You Into My Life, I´m Only Sleeping, For No One

Por mucho tiempo (y quizá aún) Revolver fue mi álbum favorito de los Beatles: las razones abundan, pero una de las más importantes es que es un disco que me ofrece un poco de todo: cursilerías de McCartney, cosas oscuras de Lennon, las primeras composiciones 100% de Harrison, a Ringo cantando algo sacado de un viaje de LSD, instrumentación occidental y oriental, tracks en reversa, todo. Una de las características que lo hacen especial es que ya tenían tomada la decisión de no volver a hacer giras y eso le da a George Martin todo el espacio para igual tener en el estudio un octeto de cuerdas (¡como único acompañamiento de una canción de "Rock"!), un oboe, un corno francés, o de grabar las guitarras y luego meterlas a la mezcla final en reversa. Tratando de dilucidar cuál rola es mi favorita de este disco, llego a la conclusión de que es más fácil ubicar las dos que menos me gustan: "Yellow Submarine", que de cualquier forma tiene su ondita y es divertida de oír como pieza individual; y "I Want To Tell You", que siento como la menos interesante del disco, musicalmente hablando. Pero es que ahí están "For No One", "Good Day Sunshine" (que por cierto fue rankeada como la peor de ellos en cierto conteo), "And Your Bird Can Sing" y la cereza del pastel que es "Got To Get You Into My Life". No hay como aburrirse con este disco.

Amazing album!

Dawg it’s revolver

A classic. Their, arguably, best song "Eleanor Rigby" is accompanied only by a string quartet. That's some feat to pull off.

Fantastic, Eleanor Rigby is a tune and yellow submarine reminds me of being 10 singing it a at school

I’ve always found The Beatles to be pretty alright, but I’ve never been able to check into the degree of hype and mystique around them (the most interested I’ve ever been in them is a documentary that came across PBS once that was getting into all the studio techniques they’d used to produce the Sgt Pepper album, like the craft end of things was just more compelling to me than the album’s actual music). All that said, I really like Revolver, kind of marks the beginning of the Beatles era that I find more interesting (lol drugs).

Incredible collection of songs, love this transition period between "old school" Beatles and what they would become from Sgt. Pepper on. Also, includes perhaps the best Ringo song in Yellow Submarine.

Perfection. Even yellow submarine.

Absolutely fantastic

Easily the best Beatles album. Might be my favorite album of all time. Their best mixture of brilliant songwriting and interesting experimentation. 10/10 1. Eleanor Rigby 2. I'm Only Sleeping 3. For No One

A true classic. The Beatles at their prime, in my opinion, mixing the best from the early and the late era of the band.

Maybe the best one by the Beatles. A collection of solid and tight rock songs here. Before they included more experimental elements.

Not the Beatles greatest album, but one of the better ones. A nice “middle ground” between the poppy early stuff and the psychedelic LSD stuff.

The most toe-tapping Beatles album for me so far. Yellow Submarine remains my poster child for why I don't like the Beatles

One of the first Beatles albums I owned on CD myself - good album but nowhere near on the same level of their other later career releases. Fave tracks: "Taxman" "Doctor Robert" "Eleanor Rigby"

Along with Abbey Road and maybe Rubber Soul, I consider Revolver one of my favourite Beatles's albums. There's so much going on with a wide range of styles and an increased contribution from all the members. The Beatle's sound was rapidly evolving and after this album, the band settled into the studio and continued to expand and innovate their sound. This has a few hits (Taxman, Eleanor Rigby and Yellow Sub), but really it's a collection of lower key classics that makes this a very solid listen.

When Beatles went pro.

Tiene rolas de diez y unas de dos tres, pero promedia alto.

on their other world shit

Only my second 5*. But it’s brilliant, an album I’ve always loved, and has my favourite Beatles song on (‘Here, There and Everywhere’)

A collection of mostly ranging from good to excellent short songs. Some genuinely inspired stuff, but also a couple of duds. My issue is just that it doesn't feel consistent or cohesive. When every some is 2-3 minutes the best ones are gone in a zip without a chance to breath, then you move on to something else.

I hate the Beatles. I like the album cover drawing

Meh

I do find the mixes for the beatles kind of weird with headphones where the L/R audio is totally wack

Yeah the Beatles were pretty good, not gonna lie. Eleanor Rigby is probably my favorite song of theirs, but this album also has some other bangers like "Taxman", "Love You To", "Tomorrow Never Knows" and basically every other song (except Yellow Submarine). Gotta love that sitar. I'd be the first one to jump on the "Beatles are overrated" train (or submarine?), but that doesn't mean they weren't amazingly talented musicians. I have to give this a 5/5 or I'm being too strict with these ratings.

Excellent album and great sound from the Beatles. Wonderful.

Uff tremendo pedazo de arte 5/5

I love the cover. Some classic songs. My favourite was Tomorrow Never Knows.

yeah pretty good

don't ever fucking make me listen to these piece of shit rat boys again you malfunctioning toaster

"Eleanor Rigby" was one of the first Beatles songs I heard. "She Said She Said" and "Here, There, and Everywhere" are two of my top favorite Beatles songs of all time. The sounds here are just the perfect blend of innovative and familiar. I get a sense of nostalgia listening to this record even though I was born in the 1990s. :)

Classic, hard to argue with their anthology.

This is a beautiful album of artwork and I always enjoy listening to it. It's not even my all-time top fave Beatles album but it's still deserving of 5 stars. I love where these songs take my imagination and I had a great time listening to some classic genius song-writing which did in fact change the direction of pop music inspiring millions globally. Well done Beatles love you long time.

They're alright aren't they, the Beatles. I always loved how surreal yellow submarine is it's great. A nice mix of an album, I haven't just put on and really listened to a full Beatles album before and it was good to do that. I do wonder what I would think if it wasn't, you know, like The Beatles. Enjoyed it loads.

Its always great to get a Beatles isn't it? Obviously this is an incredibly accomplished album, but in the spirit of saving the 5*s for the hard hitters, this isn't my fave Beatles album. So is it a 4... hmm. I love how varied their style is in this, some classic rock, some more alt songs and then some that are a little twee. Ah fuck it its a 5

Yeah it's undeniably good but it's not my favourite Beatles album. It's got some bangers for sure. But I must say, I don't like Yellow Submarine, I just don't think it's a good song.

Top 3 Beatles albums for me. Good day sunshine and Eleanor Rigby are absolute tunes. And the Sitar on Love you to is incredible

one of the truly great albums of all time. Maybe the first 'rock as high art' masterpieces.

I mean I get it, but I think I’m finally on the side of “The Beatles are overrated.” They absolutely made insane steps that changed the music industry forever, but you know I just don’t like them that much.

For about 15 years, I believed, and would argue, that this is the best Beatles album. I'm less certain now - purely because so many are brilliant, but it still feels like the balance of pop and experimentation is so perfect on this album, at least for me. It really isn't worth going track by track with the Beatles, as you'd almost believe every song is a single, such is their impact. It's perfect, or so near it doesn't matter anyway.

My favorite album from The Beatles. I still remember the first time I listened to Eleanor Rigby when I was a kid. It is a masterpiece that changed what was considered pop music. All excellent tracks - no filler at all. Even Yellow Submarine flows perfectly while listening the entire record. Happy to live a life where this exists.

I'm not a huge fan of the Beatles, but I did recognise a few songs on this album. It's some good stuff, but not too keen on the extreme stereo effects, would have preferred it a bit more subtle. Most songs were enjoyable.

“This is a brilliant album which underlines once and for all that the Beatles have definitely broken the bounds of what we used to call pop.”

classic

Probably the third best Beatles album. That's very high praise, indeed.

It's hard not to love this one, it's so raw and powerful.

Was an okay album. Maybe wasn’t in the mood but just didn’t hit right

Brilliant stuff

Most consistent album of theirs I've listened to, and a lot of good songs (Tomorrow Never Knows being great). Just misses out on 4 stars due to the vast majority being too short and simplistic verse/chorus/verse/chorus/finish.

They're more interesting than I had always given them credit for.

Classic

Hard to fault despite a couple of proper wobbles. Songs like Eleanor Rigby are simply untouchable. Probably my favorite Beatles album

Fab

One of the most important pieces of art in the history of mankind.

A true classic, of course. I'd argue it's as influential as Sgt. Pepper.

A CLASIC

Kärlek som är lätt att förstå och känna igen. Förstår att de här pojkarna var så populära. Skivan är dock inte i min smak. Lite ojämn i stilen.

6/10

It's not my favourite Beatles album, but the hallmarks of quality still shine throughout

I'd say it's perfect if not for the Yellow Submarine... otherwise it's an amazing album that only cemented The Beatles' status as the best band of their time.

Phenomenal. Good mix of beginning Beatles and old Beatles.

I had never actually listened to a Beatles album from beginning to end, though I've heard a lot of their songs many times. But I really enjoyed this album. It flows really well and I liked the songs I hadn't heard before.

There have been times where this album moves into my number 1 Beatles album, but the White Album usually wins out. This thing is another perfect album on the list. What else is there to say about this album. Just awesome songwriting, musicianship, performances, and creativity. I've heard it tons of times all the way through, but I never tire of it. Even the album cover is magical.

4/5, cool tunes

one of their best album

Just brilliant. One of the best albums ever.

Favorite Beatles Album. Perfection!

An intersectional Beatles LP - snippets of the past poppy and future psychedelic/rock-ripper directions all jumbled together in one album. Not the most cohesive product, but an interesting one at the very least

Possibly my favorite album of their's.

Classic

Ellenor Rigby

A classic :) My Favorites off this album are I'm Only Sleeping, Here There and Everywhere, And Your Bird Can Sing, and I Want to Tell You.
