Revolver

Not a lot to say about Revolver that hasn't already been said - I just wish I was alive to hear Tomorrow Never Knows when it came out. What did my grandmother think?

Gotta confess, never listened fully to a Beatles album, and I never will, hahaha! Jokes aside, it’s an ok album. They truly are the One Direction of their generation, with much better composition altogether.

one… two… three… four… one… two… (one, two, three, four!)

This was actually really good.

I really love this album, it was so full of instrumentals and amazing lyrics. Just not the kind of person who would listen to this type of music

I liked it

Una obra de arte

There is so much that is familiar about Revolver that it seems to be a comforting old blanket of warmth and friendship. Yet, there is a lumpiness to the whole album as the Fab Four start showing their individual styles and aspirations. While that are no "bad" tracks, there are "breathers" between the songs of genius. A solid 4.5 star album.

2nd favorite Beatles album so easy 5/5

01) Taxman - 9,5 02) Eleanor Rigby - 10,0 03) I'm Only Sleeping - 9,0 04) Love You To - 8,5 05) Here, There and Everywhere - 9,5 06) Yellow Submarine - 10,0 07) She Said She Said - 9,0 08) Good Day Sunshine - 10,0 09) And Your Bird Can Sing - 8,5 10) For No One - 9,0 11) Doctor Robert - 9,0 12) I Want to Tell You - 8,5 13) Got to Get You into My Life - 8,5 14) Tomorrow Never Knows - 9,5 TOTAL: 9,18 (92/100) Current ranking: 57/1042

Make up your mind John - do you want us to float upstream or downstream? My favourite Beatles album (because it's the one I'm listening to right now). If there's a criticism, it's unbalanced. The second half is weaker - kicking off with Yellow Submarine how could it not be? - "Doctor Robert" is cool but generic, "I Want Tell You" is a forgettable attempt to derail their own trademark harmonies, and "Got To Get You Into My Life" is a pale British attempt at Motown pastiche - to modern (not Don Draper) ears they act almost like a setup for the monumental, thrilling slice of musical history that is "Tomorrow Never Knows". Such a towering piece of genius that everything else feels incredibly lightweight in comparison.

If I had to make a list of the albums that have influenced me the most, this would be in my top 10, maybe even my top 5. It's just on another level: four musicians reaching the peak of their sound and songwriting. I'll be listening to this record for the rest of my life.

Cool 3/5

Lots of well-known and lovely songs. Three stars…

There comes a day to almost every music aficionado's life when they start to think that Beatles a maybe a bit overrated, and I'll admit, I've been there, too. But there is a great cure for it, it is to listen to some of their best albums again. Then it's easy to see that they are very rightly loved and appreciated, and for a good reason. This is one of these albums to cure this affliction.

Played this album more than anybothrr Beatles album

ok

It's time for us to revolve with our best friends, Paul, John, George, and the comparatively normally named Ringo (just learned that he took the pseudonym Ringo, because of his tendency to wear rings on his fingers: a fact that makes me feel as though I am a TV with a magnet on it). Revolver is, often, excellent, but the parts where it isn't are perhaps more important. Firstly, let me just say that I understand that the leap from Rubber Soul to here is *unthinkable*, this was pretty much the pattern establisher for The Beatles' staggering rate of artistic growth in the second half of their career. Eleanor Rigby, For No One, I'm Only Sleeping and more are functionally completely timeless by virtue of being on the album that was maybe more conclusively a turning point in the sound of pop music than any other, while also remaining fantastically written. Taxman is not quite timeless, in fact, it's kind of *extremely* of a time and place, but it is an excellent song. To be honest, much of this album *is* this good, but what isn't (to me at least) may be more interesting. Firstly, I actually *do* like Yellow Submarine: it's whimsical, it's a vivid story, and it's got some incredibly detailed soundscape stuff. I honestly don't see how it's really worse than any other solid Beatles song. But now, let's dig in. I don't really love Love You To, I just can't usually get into Harrison's Indian music inspired stuff (although Tomorrow Never Knows, later here, is actually a song I *do* dig, probably because it is moreso trying to be a Beatles song. Even if Harrison can clearly play the required instruments, I just don't think he can compellingly write in the style of these instruments, and I'd rather just listen to Ravi Shankar or someone do it). I also don't find the song at the center of Doctor Robert especially compelling. I Want To Tell You, and Got To Get You Into My Life aren't bad songs, but they show their age more than anything else here, and they just can't hold up to the quality of writing that this album is largely filled with. And lastly, Good Day Sunshine is honestly one of the worst Beatles songs in my opinion, maybe full stop. The chorus is so brassy, and so simple, and there is so little outside of it, that it hardly feels like an actual song. To remind you, the reason I'm complaining so much about an album that I *do* really love is because I think the narrative that this remains a perfect album is one that has devoured any ability to chime in on if you actually like the music on it, and while I largely do, it is my responsibility as a Bealtes skeptic to make my voice heard. Revolver gets a rather strong 4.

Five bullets.

WOOOOOO

The first most important record in my life. It blew my mind at age 3, and still does today. 100/5.

I knew a fair number of songs on here already. It's the Beatles, I don't really know what to say. I did find the song really interesting because it reminded me of 90s drum & bass. That kind of sound from the Beatles was unexpected and it's be an unexpected influence on d&b.

Had been looking forward to this given its reputation as the first "album album," but misunderstood that as meaning "delivering upon a concept" and not just "the approach was not to capture a live performance." Its less disjoined than some Beatles albums, but its still clearly four egos battling for album credits rather than a band working together to create something (besides enough wealth to invoke a tax bracket that only affected a fraction of the top percent). That said, its the first Beatles album on my project that I have enjoyed, or that has contained anything new or interesting, though there are still some definite duds.

It's got a few familiar tracks this one. It gets a 4 for enjoyment, but about a 10 for cultural and musical significance/long-lasting impact.

This is a really good one. The Beatles are such a fun band to follow because each album sounds a little (or a lot) different from the last one. I feel like this is a pretty pivotal album from their early sound to their later one. Eleanor Rigby and Tomorrow Never Knows are stand out tracks for me.

I mean... "Eleanor Rigby" is four stars on its own

Probably my second favorite Beatles album after Abbey. Great collection of pop songs here, the Fab Four are in their prime and they're really starting to experiment and get interesting. Standouts: Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, Love You To, Good Day Sunshine, And Your Bird Can Sing, Got to Get You Into My Life

Had already listened to this before, I just really fuck with The Beatles. Some of my all time favourites are on this one

9/10 Gran album. Son The Beatles, no hay mucho que decir. Esta Yellow Submarine que me fascina

Good stuff 5/5

Surprising that the bot took until damn near the end of the main list to give us this album, but oh well. Anyways, what else do I have to say on this album? Solid 5 Stars.

It’s a 10. When we got “Rubber Soul” back in May, I said the jury was out, at least for me, on if this album had the energy that would be especially prevalent by “Sgt. Pepper’s”. It’s here, alright. This is our last go-around with the Beatles, and it’s a good one to go out on. It’s not my favorite one, but I can hear how it would be anyone else’s, and it more than plants the seed for the rest of the Beatles’ eclectic discography to come down the line. Hell, it feels like it’s planting the seed for the rest of music itself to sprout every modern innovation of the artform you hear today. This might be their most influential album on the list. Just like Rubber Soul, I think it would be futile to go track by track, especially 60 years out. That said, a lot of the deeper cuts here really got me good. Everyone knows stuff like “Taxman”, “Eleanor Rigby”, & “Yellow Submarine”, but all 14 tracks here, packed into 35 of the tightest minutes ever put to tape, just flow as naturally as possible. There’s practically no downtime between tracks, so the barrage of musical styles & innovations is left to simmer throughout. For every great vocal harmony, there’s a quick guitar solo to pull your focus back in. For every biting line, there’s a violin chord to draw your attention that way. Sometimes, they’ll just play the guitar backwards because it sounded cool on accident, & they just wanted to fucking do that. They are throwing ideas at the wall here; not in the same way that they would on “The White Album”, but something that feels… “Revolver”, to me, is kind of indescribable. It’s what happens when 4 people get bored with the boundaries imposed on them. Nobody told them they COULDN’T make these tracks, so they just did it. It’s indescribable because the Beatles practically created the boundaries of modern music on a whim. They are pushing the entire artform forward here, and doing it almost perfectly on a first try on every single track here. How can you possibly describe that? Sure, you can point to their contemporaries like the Beach Boys & the Rolling Stones & acknowledge iron sharpening iron, but “Revolver” feels like being the first to win the Space Race. They’ve hit escape velocity. This is the blueprint for how to do it. Everyone's been following it for the last 60 years. It’s probably the most influential Beatles album here. Hell, it may be the most influential one on the entire list, period. As far as “Revolver” goes, it’s a 10. As I said, it’s not my favorite Beatles album; that’s probably a tie between the White Album (sheer quantity of styles) & Abbey Road (endless barrage of hits) for me. This surpasses Rubber Soul for me, almost entirely on the peppier energy & how much stronger of a closer “Tomorrow Never Knows” is, and it’s probably right behind Sgt. Pepper’s, just for the quantity of bigger hits on that album. That said, they’re all 10’s. It’s like comparing brush strokes on the Mona Lisa. The Beatles, as a band, are meant to be treated in their totality. There’s more impactful parts of the painting, sure, but each song is a stroke that helps to tell the story of the most influential band of all time. Yes, they were easily disillusioned by their success & by each other by the time they broke up just 4 years after this album’s release, but that doesn’t change their place in history. Going into this whole 1001 Albums thing, I had never heard a Beatles album in full. I can only wish I had told my younger self to do so, but better late than never. They are that damn good, and if you only know the songs everyone knows, you’re somehow doing them a disservice.

Total classic. I've loved this one since I first heard it.

It plays a bit like a children’s album this listen. Lots of jovial melodies

It's the Beatles. Not sure what to say that hasn't already been said about them. Me, personally, I find half of their songs to be absolutely gorgeous and half of them conjure nothing in me whatsoever but sound charming anyways. Giving this a full listen introduced me to For No One, which I'm glad to have learned about. My brother has always been my biggest inspiration in all things music, and he had a Beatles phase for a while. Specifically, he played Yellow Submarine at every single opportunity possible. Hijack electronics to make it start playing when we were doing other things. It was constant. So much so, that I started to dream about that song. It's still pretty good.

Taxman - 8.5 Eleanor Rigby - 8 I'm only sleeping - 5 Love you to - 7.5 Here, There and Everywhere - 8.75 Yellow Submarine - 6 She Said She Said - 9 Good Day Sunshine - 6 And Your Bird Can Sing - 8 For No One - 7.5 Doctor Robert - 8.25 I Want To Tell You - 5 Got To Get You Into My Life - 9 Tomorrow Never Knows - 8.75

I started listening to the 2009 remaster and then realized by the end of the first song there was a more recent one. Much improved stereo mixing. Excellent record, The Beatles continue to be good. Fun harmonies, interesting instrumentation, simply lovely. Nothing quite as towering to me as the back half of Abbey Road, but really, what is. Also, I think the other reviewers are being too hard on Yellow Submarine. Did I like it as a kid? Of course I did; not sure why that's relevant.

The better Beatles album

Growing up when I did, you couldn’t get away from most of these songs - even if you tried. In 1966, it was quite inventive for the type of music that got radio play, I guess. It nothing I would intentionally seek out.

Loses one star for Lennon’s lazy nonsense.

im sure you did, ringo. im sure you did.

Exceptional

Innovative magic. Start to finish Revolver is a masterpiece.

10/10

Мой любимый альбом Битлз. Он просто великолепен

Fourteen songs, zero filler. "Eleanor Rigby" with its string octet and no guitars, one of the great lonely songs in any genre. "Tomorrow Never Knows" closing the record with backwards tape loops and a Tibetan Book of the Dead lyric that sounds like it was made a decade later than it was. "Got To Get You Into My Life" as a pure soul horn workout that Motown would have been proud of. "Here, There and Everywhere" as the most perfectly constructed pop ballad they ever wrote. "Taxman" opening everything with George Harrison's sharpest lyric and a guitar solo played by Paul, which is the kind of detail that reveals itself slowly and rewards the closer listening. The range is the achievement — classical, soul, psychedelia, folk, rock and roll, and genuine experimental music covered in sequence without any of it feeling like genre tourism. Each song sounds inevitable in its own context and surprising in the album's flow, which is the definition of sequencing done at the highest level. A five that needed no deliberation and no argument.

Best Track - "Eleanor Rigby"

Way ahead of its time, tomorrow never knows could be a tame impala tune today

5, cool variety, just all round excellent

Album che fa il suo dovere.

Man...Revolver by the Beatles. I had to read other reviews. And they are all 5 stars. I truly wish I heard what other people hear when they gush so hard about how this is one of the world's greatest musical compositions. It will sound like I am damning with faint praise or something...this album is fine. Eleanor Rigby is pretty good, though I listened to it twice and failed to hear the magic that others express. Yellow Submarine is a pretty silly song. There's nothing wrong with silly songs, but I don't long to re-hear it. Love You To is obnoxious with the heavy sitar stuff. Probably if I had studied the Beatles and deeply understood their mindspace when they composed and recorded Revolver, I may find the transcendent experience others feel. But to be honest, I don't care about the Beatles enough to dig in that hard. So the songs are....fine.

Nice and tight! They should have included "Rain"/"Paperback Writer"

Banger

Have always listened more to S. Pepper’s. But sitting down and listening to this (maybe for the first time as a full album), it is undeniably excellent. Some of the songs on their own are obviously objectively quite bad (yellow sub, every time), but very enjoyable in the context of an eclectic sweeping album. 4.5.

Переломний альбом всіх часів!!!

Reminds me of March 2010, serving in the border with Syria

Very good but not my favorite.

A truly great album, not a bad tune on it.

Really experimental but fun listen and cool guitar

Ahhh I get it because there are 6 songs

album #131 honestly, personal taste aside i think it's bad form for a list like this to have more than 2 (maybe 3 at a push) albums for each artist. come on. taxman is a funny song, i'm only sleeping is cute, and yellow submarine bangs (ringo starr continues to make my favoured beatles tracks). the rest is forgettable. ಄ average track rating: 2.1/5 ಄ favourite track(s): taxman, i'm only sleeping, yellow submarine ಄ least favourite track(s): doctor robert, tomorrow never knows, for no one ಄ album rating: ★★☆☆☆ ಄ number of albums left to review: 958 ಄ number of albums i agree with being on the list: 57 ಄ albums from the list that i would consider for my list: 25 ಄ albums i would not include on my list: 106

It's Revolver by The Beatles. If you're not giving this a 5, there is something very wrong with your brain.

Another Beatles album that I was bored to death by. Eleanor Rigby stood out and is the only reason this album has more than one star.

My dawg George found that Sitar and went absolutely fucking nuts with it! This album felt refreshing which is especially crazy because it came out 60 years ago. Old to everyone, new to me and I’m hooked!

God damn it I wanted to be a contrarian sooo bad, but these guys really are as good as they all say 🤷‍♀️ Eleanor Rigby may be a top 5 song of all time, god I wish the whole world would forget the Beatles so everyone would think I wrote it.

Drags a bit in the middle

I was kind of sceptical because it's been so long since this release that I thought it maybe hadn't aged well. I stand corrected. There are several songs that still today you hear it and say "wow". Tomorrow never knows, or love you to. There is some psychedelia there, some sounds that must have sound totally pioneer for the era. 4,5/5.

Probably a top 3 Beatles album for me. Easy 5.

Amazing

5-5

9.0/10 Some amazing songs here

This album is over and each song stuck in your head before you even realize the first song is over. Fantastic album.

The Beatles' best album, according to music critics. Even the snobs at Pitchfork gave it a ten — an event as frequent as a double solar eclipse. Everyone agrees that the album is incredibly innovative. They've thrown in all sorts of tricks: double and triple vocal overdubs, the first use of looped sections (which essentially gave rise to all the electronica), and reverse playback. Genre-wise, there's a wide range of genres — rock, pop, hard rock, baroque pop, psychedelia, Indian music, children's songs, and probably a lot more I didn't notice. The problem is that behind all this, the album itself is obscured; there's no sense of cohesion. It feels like the band simply decided to experiment with new technical possibilities and released what they came up with, and it was a hit. The end result is a collection of good songs that can hardly be called a coherent work. And yes, the cover is terrible.

Having given up touring the Beatles moved into their second phase with Revolver, pulling off some incredible studio work with the limited technology of the day. Incorporating tape loops, reverse recording and Eastern instruments. A stellar album.

Weirdly nostalgic

3/5

One of their best records. I love this one. Varied track list. Excellent musicianship and production. A near perfect record. 5/5

Whilst I have always felt that rubber soul is my favourite Beatles album this is undoubtedly their best. Yes, there is bagginess. Taxman is an unnecessary whinge and yellow submarine is what it is, but Eleanor Rigby may be the most profound pop song ever and Got to get you into my life is potentially the best thing the Beatles ever did. It’s an album where all the members have the opportunity to show their talents, and where they work together as a band at their strongest. The pinnacle of Pop music

Somehow, according to Last.FM, I’ve never listened to this album in full before. Huh. It was exactly as I’d expected.

I'm on record as a Beatles skeptic, I think they're overrated and all BUT This album is honestly fantastic, Eleanor Rigby is one of the best songs ever written, and the rest of the album is so well composed and played, this is heads and shoulders over Abbey Road Putting an album like this in 1966 is truly worthy of 5 stars

This record could be made of Eleanor Rugby plus an hour of assorted fart noises, and it still would be a 5/5.

There are some genuinely great, maybe even perfect songs on this. But there’s still a little bit of just average that keeps this from a 5

Helt sinnesjukt att man kan göra så många bra låtar på ett album, och det här är ju verkligen inte det enda albumet av dem som är såhär bra. Noll överhopp, fem stjärnor.

It was fine, I like yellow submarine. This must’ve been peak in the 60s

First time listening to a Full Beatles Album tbh, starts and ends very like psychedelic/seems like they were taking lots of drugs during this time, still mellow and nice to listen to, a fan of pretty much all the songs, good start

no words necessary.

good day sunshine

So fucking good! Big highlight for me always and forever would be “for no one”. Such a great album <3

It's sort of weird how The Beatles have circled back to being underrated, because I haven't heard anything on this before! Yet it sounds amazing, and the production is near-modern.

Abbey road is better but second best beatles album

wait the beatles r gas

Listened previously. Expectations: High - Verdict: Masterpiece - These days this is probably the album that people pick as the peak of the Fab Four. It's hard to argue with that assessment. The incredible pop songwriting of the early years crashes into all-out psychedelia in a way that blows away anything else of the era. I could choose Pepper or Abbey Road over it on any given day but they are all just mindblowing. The best band ever at their very best.

One of my favorite LPs of ALL TIME!

Have to give this a 5 as the best Beatles album. Lots of good songs…. Improved production value. I rate the Beatles as one of my top 5 bands, so I have to give what is arguably their best album a 5. There are songs on other albums I like more, but the whole work here is their best.

Strap in folks: I have a comment section, decades of pent up annoyance from all the “You don’t like The Beatles?” questions I’ve gotten, and too much time on my hands. Here’s my manifesto on The Beatles (subject to change, this is somehow our first on the list to review). The Beatles are popular because there is truly something for everyone, then to today and across the globe. That is a feat that very few bands have ever done, and should be applauded. They have also inspired music and modern culture to such a degree that their mark on the world can’t be discounted, and my life has been made better by musicians heavily influenced by The Beatles. However, my problem with such variety and ubiquity is that it feels like I am listening to 50 different bands in a trench coat, only enjoy 20 of them, and then I am insulting folks’ most treasured musical and life memories by not lumping the 50 bands together as one. I think most people would fall in my camp if given the chance, but it’s hard to parse out the highs from the lows when the highs mean so much to you. Revolver was deeply inconsistent album, in a way well beyond a couple of duds weighing down a good album. I felt that these 14 songs were cobbled together with no cohesive vision or story in mind. And that’s okay. Not every song on an album needs to relate to each other. I still enjoyed this, but it could have been so much more. So, in a feeble attempt to differentiate the 50 bands, here’s my initial categories of Beatles songs: Just Fine: I’m Only Sleeping, She Said She Said, Doctor Robert Fine+ (Step and Snap Often Required): Good Day Sunshine, Tell You I Can Get Down to This: Taxman, And Your Bird Can Sing, For No One, Got To Get You Into My Life, Here There and Everywhere Actual War Crimes: Yellow Submarine, Tomorrow Never Knows, Love You To World’s Most Perfect Song: Eleanor Rigby. Seriously, if I had one wish, I’d have to fight world peace over a 45 minute concept album of just Eleanor Rigby with continuing lonely people narratives, which turns into a hit musical and Oscar winning film. Inspiring, heartbreaking, can’t believe I’m complimenting this but the pacing is a stroke of genius. There is nothing like this song. Strong 3.5

This is the best Beatles album. Fight me. Abby Road, Sgt. Peppers, and White album all have higher highs, but they also contain a decent amount of filler. Revolver is consistently great from start to finish.

There’s not much of anything I don’t like on Revolver and I love Elenor Rigby, it’s one of my favorites. But I do like other albums more - I like when the albums have a bit more of the full spectrum of Beatles sounds from the very soft to the more classic rock sounds.

Yup. It’s that good. Songs are short, sweet, to the point. Some great trippy tunes (Tomorrow, Love You To, Sleeping), great rock songs (Taxman, She Said), great ballads (Rigby, Here There and Everywhere), and just straight bangers (I Want to Tell You, Got to Get You Into My Life). And I left off several great tracks.

y sí

Erratic. Over-rated. Nice strings.

Taxman- bueno pero no mi favorita, repetitiva 7/10 Elenor Rigby - me gusta, diferente a lo que normalmente he escuchado de este grupo 8.9/10 I’m only sleeping- pensé que no me iba a a gustar por el principio pero es mi favorita hasta ahora, el outro wow 9.3/10 Love you to- different pero no me gusta mucho 5/10 Here, there and everywhere- me gusta sweet and slow I love it 9/10 Yellow submarine- no me gusta parece canción de campamento 4.7/10 She said she said- no se me dio miedo 3/10 Good day sunshine- soft and cute 8.5/10 And your bird can sing- está bien 7.4/10 For no one- I can relate 8/10 Doctor Robert- feliz y ok 7.8/10 I want to tell you- me gusto 8.4/10 Got to get you into my life- creo que es mi favorita del album 10/10 Tomorrow never knows - no 2/10

I have long considered this my favorite Beatles album. This used to be, in mind, despite Yellow Submarine (and, to a lesser extent, Good Day Sunshine and Doctor Robert) but I’ve come to accept every track on the album as crucial to it. I used to wish the record felt more cohesive and I added versions of it to playlists that excluded the above tracks. But I have come to accept Revolver exactly as it is. Tomorrow Never Knows is my favorite Beatles track and one of my all-time favorite songs.

C’est les Beatles donc c’est bien mais c’est pas transcendant

Never really got the Beatles hype but I enjoyed listening to this. Eleanor Rigby is always a choon.

Un clásico

Beatles don’t usually miss for me 😛

I had never listened to this full album before. I like it a bunch! Octopus's Garden is not my favorite song. This was definitely when they started to get into drugs but before they went full ham on Sergent Pepper's. I wouldn't mind owning this album!

Enjoyed that blast from the past

Love this album. Wish I'd lived in this era!

When it's a contender for your favorite Beatles album, it's going to be a 5. I don't make the rules. Highlights: Eleanor Rigby, Love You To, For No One, I Want to Tell You

idk if its a 10, maybe a 9.5. kinda overrated but its a masterpiece anyways

I refuse to listen to this horse shit -5272002811/10

A lot better than I expected. A bit bland tho

Meh its the Beatles. 5.5 out of 10

Ну ебать, пушка, расслабон Давно битлов не слушал и было любопытно, как теперь для меня они звучать будут. Ну шо сказать, определённо раньше они мне больше нравились, но сейчас есть какой-то приятный ностальгический оттенок из-за которого в разы приятнее слушать их Но скорее всего именно из-за него я не могу оценить на 5 баллов, теперь не настолько их слепо люблю, а из-за ностальгии хочется высоко оценивать только самое пиздатое, то под что можно постоянно фантазировать и мечтать о своём. Тут всё же какие-то просадки ощущаются, как-то выбивает тебя иногда из приятного транса Треки все хороши, и Taxman, и Eleanor Rigby, и Here, There and Everywhere, и Good Day Sunshine. Так что без выбора, единственное подмечу Got To Get You Into My Life, то что там Пол вытворяет, это пиздец, прям ух (В сравнении с другими песнями в альбоме, конечно же) Как минимум чем интересный этот альбом, так это тем, что всё звучит в какой-то степени одинаково и разно. И это сразу привлекает и интригует тем - "А что дальше будет", но переходы иногда слишком уж резкие, нет плавности между треками

Настало время совершить камин-аут: я не люблю битлов. Я не понимаю почему они считаются настолько сильно повлиявшими на мир музыки. Кроме нескольких треков считаю их творчество очень обычным. 6.5/10 (хех, поставил в один ряд с Эми Уайнхаус и Биг Стар, о которых узнал только из-за данного списка). Только один трек - Eleanor Rigby. Yellow Submarine несмотря на её расхайпленность не зашла.

Классика. Оч приятный альбом, получил то, что ожидал. Топ-1 - Yellow Submarine + Eleanor Rigby. Топ-2 - Here, There and Everywhere

fav beatles album

I’ve known about this album, but admittedly have never listened to it until now. While some standout songs are famous and familiar, some I’d never heard and some your mum even knew that I didn’t. But the album is iconically the Beatles and this did not disappoint. You threw your arms up for yellow submarine and that made my day.

For a while I have considered this my favorite Beatles album, but listening to it today, it doesn't feel obviously more enjoyable than some of the other Beatles albums that are also my favorites. Lennon's contributions stand out to me: "I'm Only Sleeping," "She Said She Said," "And Your Bird Can Sing," and "Tomorrow Never Knows." Essential listen: yes Desert island disc: yes

A collection of classics. The South Asian influences on some of the songs are fun too

I don't know a ton about the beatles, and I've never really explored their catalogue, so I admittedly don't know the context around this album. Where is this album placed in their discography, was this when they started doing a ton of drugs? Definitely some Indian influence in here with like sitars and other eastern instruments. Album Highs: Eleanor Rigby Here There and Everywhere And Your Bird Can Sing For No One Album Lows: Maybe Yellow Submarine? There aren't a lot of lows. Hard to place this one, it's like in the high 3's or low 4's? Not a ton of bangers but pretty listenable overall.

I point to this record often as the big shift for the band. The amount of growth and change that this band went through in 7 years is truly staggering. Just three years after "Twist & Shout", we are turning off our mind, relaxing, and floating down stream. This was a CD we had in the car when I was growing up. I've heard all of these songs countless times. They are all perfect. What more can you want out of a record?

an unimpeachable, bona fide classic. so much sharp songcraft and performance contained in these sub-3 minute songs. they nail every harmony, deliver every punch, and swoon at all the right moments. this album also reinforces that Ringo Starr is the luckiest man alive. all their greatest strengths are on display here. on top of that, some pure psychedelia with Indian influence trickled throughout the album that explodes in grand fashion on "Tomorrow Never Knows" -- incredible.

Revolver Best Beatles Songs We’ve Listened to So Far: 1. She Said, She Said 2. Tomorrow Never Knows 3. Taxman 4. Got to Get You Into My Life 5. And Your Bird Can Sing 6. Here, There and Everywhere 7. For No One 8. Eleanor Rigby 9. Yellow Submarine 10. I Want To Tell You 11. Love You To 12. Doctor Robert 13. Good Day Sunshine 14. I’m Only Sleeping

That was a good album, had some solid hits.

Excellent. Iconic. Varied. Timeless

The Beatles were the best band ever to exist, and anyone who says otherwise is just being a contrarian asshole.

Great album lots of hits

Great Beatles album

The Beatles are like Andy Warhol's "Campbell's Soup Cans". Everyone knows about them, but try as they might, it's shit. The hits are palatable, but the rest is just a jigsaw puzzle that someone threw at the floor and went "Done!"

Easy 5. Classic.

This is my favourite Beatles album, and it’s no coincidence it’s the one where Ringo has the fewest songwriting credits. With the exception of Yellow Submarine this is tight front to back - successfully melding acoustic, jangle pop and experimental [at the time] Indian sitar playing. Low 5

Growing up in the 2000s the level of Beatles worship was off the scale. They were unquestionably the greatest band of all time, responsible for all the greatest albums of all time - either directly or indirectly. Any conversation about musical lineage would eventually end up with them. It was a bit much, but one can't deny that there was an element of truth. The Beatles were a total one off who came out of nowhere and rocked the world for the best part of a decade. We are still feeling the ripples. To give into hyperbole for a moment, for me personally Revolver is unquestionably the greatest Beatles album. They'd gained a major edge on Rubber Soul, pulling away from the well-worn (if expertly delivered) sound of the early 1960s pop groups, but Revolver is where they fully exploit those developments. Every song here is a perfect, well observed composition. Thanks to its three superb writers, Revolver's multiple iconic hits do not fit a single mould: Taxman, Eleanor Rigby and I'm Only Sleeping could not have come from the same mind but all complement each other perfectly. Even lesser celebrated songs like And Your Bird Can Sing have a mind bending quality to them that would take up more cognitive space if it were not for the company they keep. Like most Beatles records everyone gets a chance on the mic, but there is something especially cohesive here. It is most impressive that even Harrison's Indian classical inspired sounds fit into the mix so naturally, and (more controversially) that something as bold as Yellow Submarine sits so neatly on the track list. I am a grump when it comes to The Beatles' children's music, but I have to admit, like everything else here - it’s the best in its field.

Favourite Beatles album 10/10

Typical Beatles sound. Not my favorite songs, not all good, but glad I've listened to it

As a card-carrying Beatles hater, this is a really interesting listen. Taxman is based, I enjoyed that a lot. Eleanor Rigby is the best Beatles song by a long shot. Then the album loses itself in the middle, Yellow Submarine and Doctor Robert absolutely stink - then it wraps up quite nicely again at the end. I was tempted to give this a 4, but the fact that Yellow Submarine is the defining song of a whole era of music makes me so mad that I just can't do that.

Stunning album - love all the songs on here

My favorite so far out of the Beatles/Beatles related albums I’ve listened to so far. I liked the non single tracks and overall production better.

Loistava Beatles-albumi, joka on todennäköisesti tehty ihan älyttömillä resursseilla, sen verran mahtavalta tuotanto ja soundit kuulostavat. Asiat on kohdallaan; stemmalaulut, soitto ja hyvällä tavalla älytön määrä ”muita kuin bändi-instrumentteja”. 14 biisiä, kesto reilu puoli tuntia, biiseissä erinomaisesti vaihtelevuutta eli biisit ovat selkeästi erilaisia keskenään. Jälleen kerran, Ringon rumpalointi on eleetöntä ja tehokasta. Tähän levyyn on helppo ihastua. 4/5

I cannot count the times I've listened to these songs, one of the most formative albums of all of my musical life. I have a copy on vinyl, along with the box set reissue from 2022. My vinyl copy, best I can tell via info on Discogs, is a reissue from 1971. I was 7 and I'm guessing one of my uncles on my dad's side bought it for me. I had a record player in my bedroom and would use the album cover of this and couple other albums as a drum pad and drum and sing along. As a consequence, those albums are beat to absolute hell. The collector in me is pained by this, but it was out of pure enjoyment of the music, and isn't that's what's most important about all of this? I could just list songs here, but that would be silly. Tomorrow never knows.

All timer!

One of my favorite Beatles albums. It really starts to cement the shift in sound to the more experimental back half of their time together. Great album.

2/14 added to liked songs: Eleanor Rigby Here, There And Everywhere

I don't actually need to listen to this album to know what each song sounds like. I just need to read the titles and all the songs in their entirety, just pop into my head. Not my favorite Beatles album, but its status as A Classic Album is well-deserved. (4/5 personally, 5/5 for importance)

amo esta portada omg, revolver tiene de las mejores canciones de los beatles y después está la poronga que hizo ringo digamos 9,2/10

Pop Rock/Psychedelic Pop Favorite Tracks: *All but one* Least Favorite Track: Love You To Gonna keep this review short: such a disappointment that I can’t rate this as a 10/10 album, because with the exception to Love You To, every song is like either a 9/10 or a 10/10. 9/10, but I’m rating this album 5/5 stars because it’s nearly perfect.

For 1966 this was a very revolutionary and different type of recording. The Beatles broke musical boundaries and pushed the world into new found territories. It embraced a different subject that was introspective and just other worldly. They made other musicians listen and follow their lead to new frontiers. Other groups may have attempted to express such a weird range of music but The Beatles were by far the most popular and most followed band and it is this character that made it so mind boggling. It just wasn't sweet pop music anymore, it was new and different.

Top quality album. Enduring hits, terrific narrative.

An album which has echoed down the generations and whose influence is apparent across a wide musical canvas. And a great collection of songs. It's up there with Rubber Soul.

Would listen to this here, there and everywhere

Difficult to find anything new to say about an album that anyone with a working pair of ears will know is a masterpiece. 5*

Probably the best Beatles album in terms of production. It does sound like a collage

Love the beatles and really enjoy this album. Hard to give it more than 3 stars since I still don't feel a cohesive album as much as a collection of songs. Most of which are good.

I forgot how much I love this album. What a great reminder. I know it's not my favorite Beatles album, but it's a no skip one, so 5.

On the whole an enjoyable album, least favorite song was "Love You To" as I'm just not a big fan of the sitar.

I think the only song I really don't care about here is "Yellow Submarine". Other than that, phenomenal album! Very high 4

Growing up I was convinced that there were people who liked the Beatles and those who liked the Rolling Stones. I still feel that way.

Just no arguing the Beatles greatness from me. Even heard a few tunes I didn't know....they were great too.

I go back and forth about whether this or Rubber Soul are the better from this period of their career, but I never doubt that it's a great record. There are "weaker" songs in a relative sense but no really bad ones. And of course you have to appreciate the experimentation and diversity.

"Tomorrow Never Knows" was released 60 years ago (!) but still sounds like a song from whatever year you're listening to. It's bursting with so many ideas that it can barely contain itself; a kaleidoscope come to life. It's not without precedent, but it's emblematic of the magic of what's probably the greatest pop-rock album ever made. If there was a "Sight & Sound" equivalent for music, how high would Revolver rank? Would it be the consensus top Beatles album? It's not my personal favorite Beatles record (White Album), or the one I'd hand to a potential new fan (Abbey Road? Help!?), and I used to think its status as the de facto best or most-important Beatles album was an artifact from the time when Rolling Stone ruled the land. But it is hard to argue for many other albums when you situate it in 1966. It is the reason we are still obsessively talking about The Beatles 60 years later. Lyrically and musically, it is a massive leap forward for pop music. It single-handedly made pop music a place to experiment with genres and studio special sauce. Listen to the latest from Lorde or Charli XCX, and you're still following the lineage set off by Revolver. And it only gets better from here. It may not be the best album of 1966 (Pet Sounds and Blonde on Blonde would both demand a word), and The Velvet Underground is waiting just in the wings, but I no longer think its importance is overstated.

A couple of hours, a couple of nice ones beyond. Overall enjoyable

This is one of my favorite Beatles albums. Paul's songs get into some nice piano, horn, and string playing (Elenor Rigby, Good Day Sunshine, For No One, Got to Get You Into My Life) and the guitars are always interesting and cool on John's songs (Taxman, I'm Only Sleeping, And Your Bird Can Sing). Plus it has Yellow Submarine and ends with one of their most psychedelic songs, Tomorrow Never Knows. This album is all over the place and it's great!

I'm a sucker for Yellow Submarine and also a big fan of Eleanor Rigby, Here, There and Everywhere, And Your Bird Can Sing and Got To Get You Into My Life. Their vocals carry a certain silkiness that give these tracks a particularly smooth polish (or maybe that's just the brand new headphones I used lol). They do a lot of interesting experimentation in this too, which doesn't sound so revolutionary now, but I'm sure it felt that way at the time. I love how their music evolved over time as they grew up with the whole world watching and listening. This falls below Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road in my rankings, but it's still pretty fantastic.

Plutôt entendu qu'écouté, quelques chanson super

Haven't listened to The Beatles properly before, and... it's just not my thing. I think I'm understanding more the Beatles paradox, that good songwriters can succeed without being good musicians, and covers of their music is generally better than the originals. But when good musicians have their music covered by somebody else, it's generally not as good as the original, even if the cover artist is equally or more talented.

All I can think about listening to this album is how it's not Abbey Road. Appreciate the experimental recording tech efforts but the songs don't do it for me.

I had an opinion about this album that it was OK but overrated. I re-listened to it today and I stand by that opinion. This album feels like having a moderately attractive man hit on me in a bar. It’s not offputting but it’s not going anywhere either.

LETS FORKING GO!!!11!!!!111!!1!!!!!!! what r the chances oml i love this is my favourite album ever and somehow underrated. Everyone rate it more, please. Not a single bad song. If you don't like Yellow Submarine ur more childish than the targeted age group (jk). Favourite: Here, There and Everywhere (for now) Favourites (other than all): Eleanor Rigby, I'm Only Sleeping, Good Day Sunshine, And Your Bird Can Sing, Tomorrow Never Knows Really freaking good: Taxman, She Said She Said, For No One, Doctor Robert, Got To Get You Into My Life Great: Love You To, Yellow Submarine, I Want To Tell You See what happens when you pass George the aux? I recommend considering Paperback Writer and Rain (both favourites) as also part of the album when listening <3<3<3<3 Thx for making me listen again :,D Gonna ignore the reviewd this time cuz they'll make me sad

I preferred Abbey Road, but it was good.

this one is fun okay?! it has interesting sound effects and cool harmony lines, it has eleanor rigby, yellow submarine, AND for no one on it sooo it’s a classic

beatles

Beautiful nothing to add

When they started to be more interesting

It was fine. This album has been glazed to hell and back just like every other Beatles album, but I just can't really get into it.

10/10 album, one of the greatest

primer album completo que escucho de ellos

Finally listening to this album. Short but good. Exactly what I expected from the Beatles and they are a great band but I dont think i can give it a 5.

Whenever I hear the beatles, I expect them to have a certain sound cause they are one of the most famous rock bands, and everytime Im disappointed

I liked it minus a few songs near the end. It was fine. I suppose it’s better than most of what we’ve listened to already. The Beatles are fine. Higher end of a 3, not quite a 4

Didn't grab me as much as the other two Beatles albums so far, it felt a bit less varied/exploratory. But still a very enjoyable listen.

Darker and spookier than their other albums

Enjoyed this album

The bittles!

I loved this ! I liked this a lot more than Abbey Road! Wasn’t a huge fan of Yellow Submarine and some of the tracks in the middle of the album but the rest of it made up for it !

A classic album had the class is of Elenor rigbt and yellow submarine but I also discovered a few new ones I really enjoyed!

Pretty good album, liked the second half better

I think these boys will go far.

Is this the best album ever made? Ask me as a teenager and I’d have said yes without hesitation — the first Beatles album that felt unburdened by overfamiliar singles, the first that made me see the forest for the trees. The first that felt like mine. A couple decades later and it’s hard to name one album the best when my tastes have expanded out in so many different directions, but this is still the album to which I’m measuring all the rest, and the only one that doesn’t make me wince to see named the best.

Perhaps their most underrated skill as songwriters was knowing when to quit. If any of these songs had been 30-60 seconds longer, they could have lost their charm. As it is, this album set a standard that’s hard to match on many counts.

When I can keep myself from singing along I notice something new (and clever) every time. It’s all over the place in emotions, genres, and topics - and it works.

Cerramos otra semana corta por lo que mañana se rinde con éste álbum, que es de esos trabajos que a uno le hacen preguntarse qué se puede de decir de distinto, de nuevo, frente a algo que es una bisagra en la historia de Los Beatles y su constante ascenso musical. Desde mi experiencia, son como mi lugar seguro, de apego. Me hacen acordar siempre a mi mamá, igual que con Creedence, así que creo que por eso siempre podría escucharlos y sentirme bien. Muchas gracias y hasta el lunes.

Some of the so he on revolver as re absolute fantastic, Eleanor Rigby and Tomorrow never knows. But some of the ones between don't do much for me. Yellow submarine is such a meme song. Good album, but Beatles don't do much for me.

It’s Revolver. Of course it’s a 5.

first time listening to the beatles in album form, and it was good ! but just that, i can appreciate this album but honestly didn't particularly enjoy it, low 4

my my my my my

Potentially my favourite Beatles album, although this changes pretty frequently. Every song is fantastic. Some of the best psychedelic rock of the era from John and George and the most beautifully crafted love songs from Paul. Masterful. Only note: bring back the 95% supertax and stop moaning about it, George.

First Beatles album of the scheme and a nice palate cleanser after the previous entry. Easy five star. Favourite song - For No One.

Listens: 3 (and Many in the past) Standout Tracks: Taxman , Elenor Rigby, Here, There and Everywhere, Tomorrow Never Knows Easily a top 3 Beatles album for me. Tight arrangement, memorable songs, good variety and great social commentary. I have this album on vinyl and it's always a joy to play. Tomorrow Never Knows is simply mind blowing when you hear it for the first time. Love it.

Another stellar Beatles album. What’s not to love, there’s alittle bit for everyone. There’s “taxman” “Eleanor rigby” “I’m only sleeping” “love to you” “and your bird can sing” “for no one” “yellow submarine” and “tomorrow never knows”. It’s jammed pack with great songs! Honestly I do think a lot of their work gets lost in their own shadow. Like when you ask somebody about great Beatles tracks no one is going to remember to say “for no one” or even “I’m only sleeping”. There’s just so much going on in their entire catalog. But regardless I think this is one of their best albums, it’s not quite perfect enough to get a 5 from me cause there are some forgettable tracks that don’t make a huge impact. But as a whole it’s a quintessential Beatles album.

Good album

Noch nicht das Highlight der Beatles, aber es zeigt doch, in welche Richtung es noch geht.

Yellow Submarine is terrible, and the sentiments of Taxman are unconscionable, but most of the rest of the album is pretty great, a mix of traditional rock n roll and a degree of experimentalism that was astonishing for 1966.

BEATULS YEAH YEAH YEAH

#9. It’s just great

Second only to Abbey Road

I've mentioned a few times now the rare quality of writing deceptively brilliant songs that sound incredibly simple. Brian Wilson, Fleetwood Mac, Paul Simon and Carole King all spring to mind. The Beatles are another shining example, and Revolver is possibly the best showcase. Less than a year later, they'd make Sgt. Pepper and any suggestion of 'sounding incredibly simple' went out of the window, but here, you could still be forgiven for taking Eleanor Rigby or Here, There and Everywhere for granted, in spite of the understated genius that put their seemingly straightforward pieces together. Of course, it only takes a little closer attention to notice the complex array of instruments and layers that initially disguise the levels of musical wizardry on display through the opening few numbers. My favourite part of Revolver, though, is the run of songs from She Said She Said (which I've always loved as the signal that Yellow Submarine is out of the way) to the end of the record. The guitar squalls become increasingly infectious through And Your Bird Can Sing, Doctor Robert and I Want To Tell You, before the horn blasts and pounding percussion of Got To Get You Into My Life run us on to the swirling, dizzying tape loops of Tomorrow Never Knows. I always thought the cover art served as a good metaphor for what you get with the music. Initially it looks rather plain, a black-and-white line drawing of the band, but the closer you look, the more you notice in the collage of pictures spilling into the space between them. (Again, it only takes peeking into the following year to see them jump quite clearly into the technicolour with the complex, colourful Sgt. Pepper cover). It also took reading a bit more into the album for me to notice that the track listing filters songs written by and sung by each of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and even Ringo Starr in a revolving fashion. You never hear the same lead vocalist twice in a row. Sort of makes it even more incredible how coherent and perfect the flow is throughout.

14 years after The Beatles released Revolver, John Lennon was killed with a Revolver. 7 years after The Beatles' cover band Oasis released Cigarettes and Alcohol, George Harrison, a heavy smoker, died from lung cancer. Coincidence? Yes. Anyway, it's The Beatles. It's Revolver. It's a 5.

Not a Beatles fan generally. This album has the material I like least from them overall.

I really liked it much better the second time. Starting to see some of the attraction. I'd listen again on purpose

Better than the white album, less of Paul’s nursery rhymes and more psychedelic

A perfect album all around

Favourite Songs: I'm Only Sleeping Love You To Tomorrow Never Knows

Amazing production and ambition. Just not all the songs landed right in the feels to make it a 5.

The thing is, the Beatles were just so damned prolific. I like this album because it shows the complete Beatles, but I don’t think it is their best work. A great album, sure, but not a must-have.

One that I like

Het is niet verschrikkelijk, het is niet verkeerd, maar het is ook niet zo dat ik de neiging heb om dit maar klakkeloos een 5 te geven omdat het de Beatles zijn. Ik kan niet beoordelen hoe bijzonder dit was in de context van 1966, dus beoordeel puur wat ik hoor en wat ik daar van vind. En dan zit ik een beetje rond de 3,5 te denken. Bij de globale stats staat staat dit album op plek 9 en dat vind ik toch wel wat te hoog. Ik maak daarom van de 3,5 in m'n hoofd een 3 op het digitale papier. Al met al een prima 35 minuten muziek.

It's Revolver.

Weird to say, but I always forget how fun it is to listen to the Beatles. Controversially, I think they’re quite good.

I'm not really a fan of the Beatles, but this album was very good. So good that I feel like it deserves a 5. I wasn't expecting it going in, but I really did enjoy it.

Is it a 4? Or is it a 5? Let’s see today… Yeah. It’s a 4. Yellow Submarine is… a very nice song for four and five year olds. A lot of the Beatles are. I LOVED them when I was five. The crazy thing is they sold this to 15 and 25 year olds. Idk 4 Boolean: true, it’s the Beatles

Great. Another Beatles album. So far, my opinion on the Beatles remains mostly unchanged, but after listening to the White Album again, I am prepared to give the rest of their discography more of a chance. Revolver is a hodge podge of songs; rockers like "Taxman", string arrangements like "Eleanor Rigby", and the silliness that is "Yellow Submarine", and a host of all other kinds of songs. I wanted to like "Here, There, and Everywhere" more. It's a super sweet song, but The Beatles seem intent in avoiding letting it be a sweet pop song. The back half is mostly bland. I can see how the potpourri nature of Revolver makes it exciting for fans, but to me it's unfocused. It perfectly highlights the clash of personalities within the band, and even then, it still comes off as mostly boring. Highlights: "She Said She Said", "Tomorrow Never Knows" Lowlights: "Eleanor Rigby"

I know some people rate this as the Beatles’ best, but it’s really uneven. The great songs are transcendant, but the less great songs are forgettable. The Beatles’ uneven album is still better than most bands’ best.

OK, it’s no secret that I’m going to give this five stars. This was the album where the Beatles and producer George Martin began to realise exactly what they could do with the recording studio, crafting what initially seems like a disparate selection of songs, with each member of the Fab Four bringing their ideas to life with help from the rest (mostly). In retrospect, McCartney is probably the one with the clearest vision of what he wants to do (and the stubbornness to do it on his own, if pushed), compared with Lennon’s cynicism, George’s mysticism and Ringo’s sense of the absurd, but this album shows that they were doing things together that they simply couldn’t have done on their own. - Taxman. George Harrison moaning about the 95% tax rate on unearned income is an odd choice for an opener (and probably sounded churlish to the average fan saving up to buy records), but it’s a great song nonetheless with a lot of attitude. - Elenor Rigby. A heartbreaking mini-opera with a string accompaniment dealing with poverty, death and loneliness, and the emptiness of religion. We’re a very long way from wanting to hold a girl’s hand now. One of McCartney’s best. - I’m Only Sleeping. Another tonal shift with a Lennon song about getting stoned (allegedly) and lazily sleeping the day away. - Love You To. After experimenting with the sitar, this was George’s first full on foray with Indian classical music, but lyrically it’s very much sex and drugs. Far out man! - Here, There and Everywhere. From Eastern mysticism it’s back to a 50’s style romantic ballad from Paul with immaculate production lifting it up. - Yellow Submarine. When I was small, my first experience of the Beatles was listening to this song on Junior Choice on the radio. It’s the only Ringo composition on the album, but the jolly, stomping tune is deceptive and hides a lot of complexity with sound effects and bits of dialogue thrown in that anticipated sampling by at least 20 years. The haters can get it in the bin - I love this track, completely and unironically. - She Said, She Said. Not many songs open with the line “I know what it’s like to be dead”. Another song about and inspired by LSD which is something of a theme for this album. - Good Day Sunshine. A great McCartney number about the sheer joy of a sunny, summer day. - And Your Bird Can Sing. Another deceptively simple song with some very pointed Lennon lyrics about wealthy people complaining about being weighed down with possessions - For No One. A very sweet Paul song written about his then girlfriend Jane Asher. This just has Paul playing everything, except for Ringo on drums and was maybe one of the first signs of creative tension in the group. - Doctor Robert. Back to the drugs with a very positive message about the power of pharmaceuticals - I Want to Tell You. The drugs are more concealed on this one, but the oddly discordant melody sets the tone. - Got to Get You Into My Life. A great Motown inspired number with a full horn section - Tomorrow Never Knows. The whole album has been building to this one, with every studio trick and mystical influence thrown into the mix. Probably the closest thing to the experience of a full on acid trip ever committed to vinyl. Arguably one of the Beatles’ best, but then again they’re all good albums, Brent.

Never been my favorite of the beatles albums

What else can I say but: "Always good"

Honestly, their best

The thing that stands out to me about Revolver is how timeless it sounds. They were ahead of the curve in so many respects — remember, this came out a year before Sgt. Pepper’s, and feels like a dry run for that project at times — yet the sounds they were pioneering have become so fundamental to popular music in the decades since. And yet, they combine it all with lovely melodies as on “Eleanor Rigby” or “For No One.” Masterful.

Sure whatever I guess

4,5

Mi álbum favorito.

Classic

Honestly was quite bored

Kauniita hienoja kappaleita. Lyhyitä, helppoa kuunneltavaa. Taattua Biitlesiä.

97/100 Yeah there's no doubt in my mind this is one of the greatest and most influential albums ever. HOWEVER this also has some stinkers on it like bro come on why did you make Doctor Robert I like the mid section of that song but the rest of it is skippable as hell brotha. Also Idk I didn't like She Said She Said and Good Day Sunshine that much either. Also why is Yellow Submarine only an 82 are you like joking or what that is so peak give my boy RINGO some more love (as long as you're over 16 please)

One of my hotter takes. For an album with an average rating of 4.2, I expected more than a pile of mish-mash. My lone issue with the Beatles is their lack of ability to fine tune and pick songs that make albums cohesive. I’m still waiting on the “greatest band of all time” to prove me wrong in that regard, and I honestly hope they do.

Its a great album 8.5 or 9 tje vocals are great yhe gituar is great the drums are great

Incredible

Prabably the best Beatles album. Possibly the best album of all time. No words can convey how good this is.

Its the beatles

I'm not a big fan of the Beatles but I do enjoy some individual songs. On this album none of those songs are present. I know their impact on music and why they deservedly are on this list but its not music made for me.

I don't really think we all live in a yellow submarine, but it's an interesting idea. I also don't need to tell you Revolver's a great album. It's excellent front to back, full of classics, and is perfectly listenable over 50 years later. The only real complaint I have about it is that fuckass album cover with the weird line art just continues to feel uncanny. It's not really the best of the Beatles (that title goes to either Pete or Abbey Road, depending on where you're standing) but it's definitely up there, potentially a top 3 if I'm not in a particularly rubbery mood. All that to say that it lacks the kind of hit-singles vision you get out of something like Sgt Pepper or Abbey Road, but it also makes it a very tonally-consistent album with a clear throughput of vision. Lennon's voice works really well over the album and from a production level it's a front-to-back masterpiece that holds up great. I even like that weird-ass final track, feels very ahead of its time. I forgot how good Eleanor Rigby is, too. That track in particular just hits different with those sharp violins. Only McCartney could pull off a line about darning socks and make it work. Fav tracks: Eleanor Rigby, I Want To Tell You, Got To Get You Into My Life, Tomorrow Never Knows

For me I like this more that Abbey Road, even though that’s an undeniable musical piece of history. This might be even my favourite Beatles album, with almost all tracks really enjoyable, and to think this was recorded even earlier, in the mid 60s when other historical bands were doing covers, this unique character really blows my mind

love the bass on taxman OH SICK THERE4S A SITAR. FREAKING LOVE SITARS much better than rubber soul. rubber soul felt like a pedestrian rock album with little (to my untrained ears) that was groundbreaking. revolver maintained a much stronger & more interesting journey thru the album. yellow submarine was a stylistically jarring intermission to the rest of the album. can't decide if its presence damages the album or not. i think realistically, i would give this a level, unrounded 4.5/5. i'll decide how to round it tomorrow.

Not really my favorite. I was bored throughout the album. I liked a few songs, but it’s definitely not my type of music.

this has got to be one of the weaker beatles albums on the list, with a few stinkers on there. still enough bangers to be a 5 star album though.

Yeah I mean it's legendary for the right reasons I'd say. Spectacular songwriting and performances. Shut up Scaruffi.

8/10

-I feel like I'm scouring for flaws in this album and coming up with practically nothing substantial. Yes, you could argue Yellow Submarine, Doctor Robert, I Want to Tell You, and even Taxman are not the finest from the songwriters, but even those have their charms. -Practically every second of every song has something interesting happening. -Paul shows off 3 of the best songs he ever wrote (For No One, Got to Get You Into My Life, Here There and Everywhere), and that doesn't even include Eleanor Rigby. -Even though they recorded this album around the time they stopped touring, they were still able to show off what a tight band they were. The harmonies on And Your Bird Can Sing, Here There and Everywhere, and even Taxman are some of the best vocal harmonies ever recorded in rock music history. -There's insane riffage all over this album -- the dudes are really playing their asses off on songs like She Said She Said, And Your Bird Can Sing, Got to Get You Into My Life, Good Day Sunshine, and even Taxman. -George was still figuring out his songwriting strengths, but I have love for all 3 of his songs, even Taxman. Love You To does its thing better than it really ought to. -Quoting a friend here, but John invented the sound of Britpop on this album, especially on She Said She Said and I'm Only Sleeping. -Tomorrow Never Knows is a psychedelic masterpiece and is, arguably, the best thing this band ever recorded.

3,9/5

Baller

Não achava que era bem o meu estilo mas depois de ouvir surpreendeu me bastante, gostei bastante de Here, There and Everywhere; For No One e de I Want to tell you e obviamente de Tomorrow Never Knows eu tinha visto muitas críticas em que diziam que a música fazia do álbum um 5⭐️ mas para mim não mudou assim tanto a minha opinião do álbum. Claramente um álbum de verão, e vou voltar a ouvir com certeza

Goodness gracious, this is an excellent Beatles album - I'm kicking myself for not listening to any in full before today because I was totally missing out! So many bangers I've missed out on, having only listened to "1" for pretty much my whole life up to this point. Yes, I know I'm more than 50 years late to the game, but as a lifelong Beatles enjoyer, this was such a fun listen - clean, simple, and catchy in just the way I knew it would be. A perfect summer listen. Favorite tracks: She Said She Said, And Your Bird Can Sing, Tomorrow Never Knows (it appears I like Lennon lead vocal tracks?)

The one Beatles album that has no skips front to back, and yes, that includes "Yellow Submarine". Every song is pop perfection, unique, stretching their sound while retaining the pure pop perfection Lennon and McCartney had cooked up so many years ago. Not to mention George's chance to stretch his wings as a songwriter and show both his own chops and his takes on Indian music. It's simply the best Beatles album, no question.

Not a fan of the beatles. It might be good, however, it passes me by.

Great album

The Vatican's official newspaper named it the best pop album of all time in 2010. The Vatican. John Lennon had told the press four years earlier that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Nobody in Rome apparently held a grudge. I grew up knowing the Beatles the way I grew up knowing electricity, as infrastructure rather than discovery. Eleanor Rigby is a genuine earworm and Good Day Sunshine is exactly what it promises. Yellow Submarine is catchy in the way that songs designed to lodge permanently in the human brain tend to be catchy. The rest of the album is good but not exactly my cup of tea. As with many of the albums on this list I may enjoy a few songs from each, but as a whole this won't be on regular rotation. 3 out of 5. Sure I'm just supposed to dole out a 5 just because it is the Beatles right? Well the Vatican gave it five stars, I gave it three. We are both correct within our respective frameworks.

epic

Revolver has always been my favorite, but I recently listened to the entire Beatles discography and took the time to put every Beatles era in context. What I learned is that Revolver/Rubber Soul is absolutely the best era of The Beatles. This album is so impressively balanced for being a complex kaleidoscope of styles. Baroque pop (Eleanor Rigby, For No One), Indian classical (Love You To), psychedelic (I’m Only Sleeping, She Said She Said, Tomorrow Never Knows), r&b (got to get you into my life), some proto punk (Taxman), soft love ballad (Here There and Everywhere), and a straight up children’s song (Yellow Submarine). And the harmonized guitars on And Your Bird Can Sing?! Very heavy metal. Somehow the entire album is beautifully cohesive and not one aspect is too much or out of balance. Not to mention the studio recording innovations that begin to shape the band’s output. Revolver is one of the best albums ever made, full stop.

One of the best Beatles albums.

this shit so trash bro

their peak or very close to it, at least to me. one of the best of all time.

One of my favorite Beatles albums. This is where they start to incorporate some new sounds in the studio and George Harrison brings in some of the Indian influences that he picked up from Ravi Shankar.

I can’t imagine what it must’ve been like for audiences in 1966 when the Beatles morphed their style into multiple areas of music. While I don’t think I’d put this over Sgt. Pepper, this is a fantastic album

wrongo

tomorrow never knows still sounds like nothing else yellow submarine still sucks

AMAZING : eleanor rigby, for no one, got to get you into my life, wanna listen to this here there and everywhere

Classics coming out the wazu!

Like a perfect 90 minute movie.

The Beatles - Revolver My first generated Beatles album. Its albums like this that make this project a joy rather than the chore it occasionally can feel like. Of course I knew some of this already but not all of it. I scored each track and the average came to 4.2 - i’d normally round this down to 4* for the album but it seemed wrong in this case. Standout tracks – Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, Got to Get You Into My Life, Tomorrow Never Knows ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Seriously gets better every time i listen to it Digging past the obvious masterpiece that is Eleanor rigby, you get a wonderful blend of pop and psychedelia. Manipulating the studio to produce Tomorrow Never Knows must have sounded utterly insane at the time, 1 year after songs like Help and Yesterday George’s eyes always creep me out on the cover, just me?

Not their best imo but still a crazy good collection of songs let down by only a couple Idk if it’s just my upbringing around a scouse parent and some scouse family but Yellow Submarine is scream along to worthy so I don’t understand the hate that gets Here there and everywhere is in contention for best Beatles song for me, and got to get you into my life is also incredible 4.5

Not my favourite

Dieses Beatles Gedudel halt….aber got to get you into my life ist ja mal richtig geil!

One of the best ever. Six stars! Insane when you you consider Rubber Soul came out the year before and Sgt. Pepper the next year, depending on where you were in the world.

Probably the weakest Beatles album I has listened to but it's still the Beatles

Es muuuuy bueno. No tiene ninguna canción skipeable como quieren hacer creer. AMO la sitar y los instrumentales indios. Verdaderamente una joya, de los álbumes más influyentes de la música. No es de mis favoritos pero lo escucho regularmente

Not my favourite Beatles album but still a cracker

I was never a big fan of the Beatles, but I have to say that listening to this all the way through really made me appreciate them. Hard to place oneself in their time and get a sense of what was revolutionary at the time but now de rigeur. I always like Eleanor Rigby and maybe that alone makes this album notable. But the rest of the songs are also surprisingly good. Favorite that I did not really know before: Here, There, and Everywhere. I get the impression that this is probably the first (chronologically) Beatles album that I would appreciate - you can hear some of the transition from Brit Wave drivel to real artistry and the first (?) hints of their eventual fascination with Indian music. But you get Yellow Submarine as a vestige of their earlier drivel. I still will not likely listen to this again, so I am giving it a 3. Maybe it deserves a 4, but I reserve that for albums I am looking forward to listening to again.

Killed me

beautiful

Caiu o filé mignon no prato do canibal aqui. Nao tem outra opção que não seja 5 estrelas para esse clássico absoluto. Um dos marcos da história da música popular, uma das transições mais perfeitas que uma banda já fez em questão de estilo diversificado de um álbum para o outro. Difícil falar que é a masterpiece dos Beatles, porque eles tem várias em sua vasta e glamurosa discografia, mas esse aqui é um dos mais especiais, sem dúvida nenhuma. Dentre as faixas, toda vez que ouço Eleanor Rigby, me arrepio dos pés a cabeça, inclusive é minha música favorita do álbum. Amo esse disco, um dos meus prediletos, sem sombra de dúvidas.

I feel like I’m supposed to like The Beatles, society says they are one of the greatest bands. I’m sure they shaped music for generations ahead of them, but I was expecting a lot more from this album. A couple of good tracks, Eleanor Rigby is a classic, yellow submarine let’s face it, if that was released today, we’d be all going wtf is that?

not something id usually listen to but definitely a few bangers

i love revolver so much. i come back to this record religiously

This would be most people best album. Perfection.

Is it just me, or does "Taxman" not fit on this album? It's like they started out with an early Beatles throw-back , then went full psychedelic for the rest of the album. A good, if a bit too all over the place, album.

If I were ranking Beatles albums ... Revolver would slot in just below Rubber Soul for me.

mostly weaker songs than other Beatles, still a few standouts. the thing that makes up for it is that they're incredible at rock band arrangements by this point, and messing about with recording studio as instrument worked so well for the Beatles it convinced decades of hacks to try it. in general you should not put a children's song on your rock album but mythological musicians have got to do a few weird things here and there

Revolver is one And Your Bird Can Sing away from being the second worst Beatles album and I don’t care who knows it. I accept that it’s an Important and Significant bit of Beatles work because of what it represents in terms of studio recording, but it can be hard to appreciate a hundred years later when you’re listening to these (mostly) dork songs

Great.

7/10 - Liked it Fav Tracks: And Your Bird Can Sing, Taxman, Eleanor Rigby Fav Lyric: Cuz Im the Tax man 🤑 Heard before? ---–- ✅ Saved a Song? ----- ✅ Saved Album? --–-- ✅ Will Listen Again? -- ❌
