So ahead of it's time. Chemical Brothers had a whole career sounding exactly like Tomorrow Never Knows
Mind is a bit blown that the US TV company decided to do an edition of The Beatles cartoon with Tomorrow Never Knows.
When my brother was a young boy he thought the Beatles were a children's group like the Wiggles because of the prevalence of Yellow Submarine at day care sing alongs. I actually like the Beatles version of the song, I like the salty sea dog vocal of whoever is doing that. Credit to the post war British tax system to make a song by the world's most famous musicians complaining about paying their taxes seem sympathetic. Nice and short, bit all over the place but has some stone cold classics.
"Here, There and Everywhere" is a highlight. Some of the songs lack direction. Overall it just sort of is the Beatles.
For my second album from this 60s rock group, it is a much better listen than the white album. The roots of experimental rock, melodic tones, artistic merits, and wonderous lyrics were taking shape but with the consistent tones that make a great album. Researching the album also reveals the ties that were unraveling the group by the mid-60s which could have given credence to shaping pain into art. My favorite tracks are "Eleanor Rigby" (as well as being my all-time GOAT from the Beatles) and "Tomorrow Never Knows".
I'm just not much of a Beatles guy.
one good song only, just one
I like it
Classic for a reason Fave track: Eleanor Rigby
Classic Beatles album. I have no idea why it’s considered in the top echelon of Beatles albums. Or of albums all time. Pardon my ignorance. 4/5
Finally an album that lives up to the name of this challenge. If Abbey Road is S tier, then this album is for sure A tier (as far as Beatles music is concerned, it's all S tier comparatively to any other group). It's tied with Rubber Soul and Let It Be in my book. Not as cracker jack poppy as their early stuff, but not as out there as the White Album or Sgt Pepper.
평범했다. 브릿팝을 많이 들어보지는 않았지만 지금까지 들은 걸 기반으로 보면 브릿팝의 느낌이 물씬 풍기는 앨범이었다. It was ordinary. I haven't listened to much Britpop, but based on what I have heard, it was an album that exuded a strong Britpop vibe.
If Rubber Soul was the Beatles' pot album, then this was their acid album. I think pound for pound, Revolver may be their best album (though my personal fav is Rubber Soul). In my opinion, there are no forgettable tracks on the entire album. My fast and loose thoughts are as follows: 1. Tax Man and the way it counts in....such a sick way to kick off the album. Paul actually plays the solo too and if you listen closely, you can hear some of the Indian/Eastern influences in the way it's played. Eleanor Rigby - first Beatles song to be written without any first-person lyrics. A classic case of Paul taking the mundane (an ordinary name on a tombstone) and creating a whole new story full of characters and emotion. Also, credit to George for coming up with the "ahhh look at all the lonely people" chorus line. 3. Love You Too - George's first composition to be unapologetically influenced by his fascination with Eastern culture and music. 4. Here, There, and Everywhere - I'll put my money on this being the best love song the Beatles ever put out. It's a perfect song. Beautiful lyrics and chord progressions that have you believing and even feeling those lyrics. Fun fact - Paul wrote nearly the entire song whilst sitting by the pool at John's house as John failed to wake up from a nap on time for their songwriting appointment (I guess that's all that needs to be said for I'm Only Sleeping). 4. Yellow Submarine - Ok yes it's cheesy and everyone loves to point to this song as the use case for why the Beatles are overrated. But it was actually initially written by John with a much sadder and darker message (listen to the Lennon Demo on the Revolver remastered album from 2024-ish) but it was given to Ringo and changed into a more cheerful song intended to children. To this day, Yellow Submarine is still used to put babies to sleep, make them smile, and much more. I don't care what the critics say; I think it's pretty cool that the same band who wrote Tomorrow Never Knows can also make something like Yellow Submarine. 5. She Said She Said & Doctor Robert - these tracks are clearly a direct relation to their experiences with LSD. In She Said She Said the line "I know what it's like to be dead" was a line that Peter Fonda said to the boys at a party one time while high on LSD. It's also a super sick lyric that fits the vibe of the song perfectly. Doctor Robert - based on a real-life dentist that slipped LSD into his guests' tea, including John and George, at a dinner party. Jesus dude.... 6. And Your Bird Can Sing - some of the coolest guitar work on any Beatles track. Double tracked, synchronized guitar parts played by George and Paul. 7. Got to Get You Into My Life - this track is "an ode to pot" as described by Paul. Any time I hear this song it's fun to know that it's literally just a guy singing about how he loves pot and the way it makes him feel. 8. Tomorrow Never Knows - I mean, what a cool track. There's so much going on here. The use of backward-looping tapes, farm animal noises, the swirling, chaotic instrumentation. And of course John's voice, which when devising its production, he told George Martin and Geoff Emerick he wanted his voice on the track to sound like 1,000 Tibetan monks chanting from a mountain. See what I mean when I said Revolver was their acid album? I know I'm probably going overkill on this review, but I truly believe the Beatles were at the height of their powers from 1965-1967. They were established themselves and earned the right to expand their musical tastes and productions beyond the pop sounds and boy band lyrics meant for record sales. They were more experimental than ever. George really began coming into his own as an equal to Paul and John. And most importantly, they were still a true band at this time before all the in-fighting started and hard feelings began festering. As a result, we got Revolver. Yea...it's a 5 for me.
Woah, that was incredible. Definitely gonna have to see if these guys have done anything else worth listening to
hey guess what, it's Revolver
A signature Beatles album, short and sweet but with wide variety and classic tracks. 4/5.
Obviously super easy 5 stars.. how could it be any lower than that? You would have to be so oblivious and I don't want to meet you. Hardly could get any better, any more influential, any more groundbreaking or any more FUNdamental as this!
This album was a really good album. The diverse instrument and the amazing lyrics really got me into it. Though the lyrics are repetitive, it’s still very good. Recommending this to slow rock enthusiasts.
Not my favourite Beatles album but its still a Beatles album!
I really enjoyed this album. Lots of really engaging songs, it's fun, it's energetic and it's all the emotions.
no skip album
iconic for a reason!
Revolver feels like a real turning point for the Beatles toward the more complex arrangements and experimentation that would cement their final few albums as some of the most important pieces of art made in the 20th century. It is also important to remember that this album came out in 1966. "Tomorrow Never Knows" is remarkable track. So many wonderful songs. There's a reason they are the greatest band ever. Almost any other artist could have written Revolver, and I would have given it an instant 5. The only thing that gave me pause is the knowledge that Abbey Road exists, and I already gave that 5 stars. The Beatles were just so good, that they have 5 star records that are even better than their other 5 star records. All that to say, this is a well-deserved 5-star record from a 6-star band.
Easy 5
One of the most influential records of all time, this is still an absolute treat to listen to. Every song is short and snappy yet no song sounds the same. You can trace the origins of powerpop to the infectious "And Your Bird Can Sing". One could argue that psychedelica began as soon as the trippy "Tomorrow Never Knows" was released into the word. Even Ringo's children's song "Yellow Submarine" sounds like nothing that came before it. This is the first record where the Beatles fully embraced experimenting with their sound after dipping their toes in with Rubber Soul. We get sitars, reversed guitar solos and tape loops. They threw everything at the wall to see what would stick. Miraculously everything stuck.
3.5★/5 06.22.2026
Man, it’s so hard to rate albums by the greats. I also think I’m in a bit of a music funk generally. +1 for Eleanor Rigby + 1 for Yellow Submarine +1 for overall vibes
this was pretty good! more things on here than I thought I would enjoy, particularly Tomorrow Never Knows
PURE GENIUS.
Not a huge fan of the Beatles but I can appreciate their impact on music. I am enjoying this album though!
Beatles album. but admittedly it is my favorite of theirs. the pop songs are great and the rock songs are creative and the weird stuff pays off dividends. deserves to be one of the 1001? of all the Beatles albums here, this one is least deserving other than A Hard Day's Night. it hurts to say since this is my favorite, but it doesn't really earn a spot compared to their others. we don't need 7 Beatles albums really tbh.
It’s so abundantly clear that the Beatles and their albums are the spark which steered so much of music in the direction it is pointed to now. That being said revolver didn’t pack the same punch for me as sgt pepper or the white album did, perhaps because it didn’t flourish quite as much experimentally. As I’m writing this, a fear grows within me that I have completely missed the point with this album, shall have to re listen and assess my naivety
Première chanson : La voix de McCartney commence véritablement à m’irriter. Ça couplé à la nullité des paroles Et ensuite on passe à Eleanor rugby, donc du tout au tout. Les Beatles sont vraiment inégaux Yellow submarine : top ! C’est carrément un coup de coeur Je pense que mon manque de sympathie pour les Beatles vient du fait que leurs albums ne sont pas plaisants. Ils ont la bouffe de bonnes musiques, c’en est effrayant. Mais leurs albums sont assez chiants, des chansons se suivent au pif, certaines vraiment passables. Des sortes de comptines pour enfant. C’est pas les pink Floyd quoi Ça reste un bon album : 7/10
Aside from Eleanor Rigby and Yellow Submarine, I had minimal knowledge of this album prior to today. It's quite good. Comparing The Beatles to other groups from the same genre and time period, it's easy to see that they were on a whole other level. You can hear the musical skill, creativity & innovation. There are some very cool psychedelic sounds on this one. Pretty sweet french horn solo on For No One too.
First half of this album is a 10/10, but then I feel as though this falls off into the classic beatles sound. Which isn't bad, but isn't great. Everything up until Yellow Submarine, (best song on the album imo, so fucking classic) is 10/10. This is the Beatles at some of their very best I think. Second half, isn't bad, but isn't anything special. Wish they had kept up the drugs and experimentation in these songs. Although it ends off with a bit of waviness with Tomorrow Never Knows. Even though there is a dip in the latter half, I still think this album is great and deserves 5 stars.
My first favorite album in my life <3
ELEANOR RIGBY DOES SOMETHING TO ME!! I like yellow submarine as well.
No typically a Beatles fan, but Eleanor Rigby gets this album four stars.
And then there was one. Only got Hard Days Night left from the Beatles (aside from the Lennon and McCartney solo albums). Honestly was expecting more from this album? When its hitting, its really hitting (Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, and Got To Get You Into My Life), but otherwise I'm finding the rest of the tracklist to be fine. Not a super big fan of the Indian influenced songs with the sitar and tanpura. Although it doesn't sound quite as appropriative and cringe as when pretty much any other band use those instruments. The sequencing can be a little rough too. Eleanor Rigby going into I'm Only Sleeping is a bad transition. Still feeling a 4 on this one, but a light 4 that is pretty much propped up by the hits I mentioned before. Probably slot it above The White album and With the Beatles, but below Sgt. Peppers and Abbey Road.
One of my favorite Beatles albums
I hesitate to put this out in the universe, but, admittedly I never was a fan of the Beatles. Sure, I recognize that they were incredibly talented musicians but the Beatles were for me one note. That is, on this record they were at the peak of their powers and they thought Yelliw Submarine was what they wanted to say? So, I will admit that I enjoyed every band that ripped off the Beatles and used those melodies to great effect elsewhere. Except for the excellent And Your Bird Can Sing, this is a rather average pop record. 3/5
I don’t know what I can say about this album that hasn’t already been said. 5 star album, easily, and definitely list-worthy.
Decent as background music.
I guess if you have to listen to the Beatles ..this has some reasonable songs
im not usually a beatles listener but this album made me really like them! taxman was my favorite
I kinda wish I had Abbey Road right at the end of this challenge, as every Beatles album will probably underwhelm me in comparison. This is a nice album nonetheless, doesn't have too many standout tracks though. Eleanor Rugby is a classic, however. 3.5/5.
So, so good. There’s nothing more that I can say. A joy to listen to from start to finish.
Didn’t realise quite how many 10’s are on this. Better than Abbey Road
Qualsiasi cosa io dica su quest’album sarebbe comunque troppo poco. Da rubber soul in poi questi non hanno sbagliato una canzone
Great album - might be the best one by the beatles just because of how many great songs are on here. I re-listened to a lot of old favorites and found a couple more that I didn't know.
J'ai bien aimé c'était cours sympa il y a des sons que j'ai bien kiffer celui avant submarine
Obviously an all-timer.
Classic. Just so good.
Great listen. Some classics on here like Elenor Rigby, yellow Submarine. Always lovely to hear a remaster - however I wonder how different the original recordings sounded!
Eh only 30 minutes but was hard to get through, I don’t deny their influence I just prefer their harder rock songs.
#32 The Beatles shifted towards psychedelia with Revolver, and it delivered several of their best songs. Incredibly influential and truly ahead of its time, this album sounds fantastic for a 1966 release. Lots of unique arrangements and instrumentation are used, showing how much they were able to innovate and expand their sound in comparison to their earlier work. It's a good listen all the way through, but so many tracks are jammed into its relatively short run time. It would benefit from dropping a couple and letting the more experimental tracks run a bit longer.
Genius. So many iconic tracks.
I think I'll just end up giving a 5 to every Beatles album. They're just so good.
I don’t mind this album tbh.
One down, presumably eight to go
absolutely perfect
Incredible, this might be pushing for my favorite Beatles album!
One of my favourite Beatles albums. Incredible sounding for its time and it still sounds so good today.
it's good, fun .
väga must-valge beatles
(6 estrellas)
What is there to even say that hasn't already been said? This is one of The Beatle's strongest works. Favorite Track - Yellow Submarine Least Favorite Track - Love You To ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve never been a huge Beatles fan, but I do prefer this sort of experimental psychedelic work to generic love pop songs. It pushed the envelope of production and is a very fun listen.you don’t even know how ubiquitous they are until you hear a b side track that you’ve forgotten was one of theirs.
The Beatles. Eleanor Rigby is my favorite
*1966. *60 years later, this album still sounds great. There are moments when the sounds is a little Beach Boys (i.e. old and aged) but the creativity and musicianship takes makes it timeless. *Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, Yellow Submarine, Good Day Sunshine, and Got to Get You Into My Life all on the same 34 minute album is ridiculous. *This is such a lean album, and just about every track hits. RATING - 9/10
It’s a great timeless album. Still relevant in 2026 (60 years after its release). Some songs will stay with you, while others might be a bit forgettable, but overall: a great album.
Nice
sorry!!! nothing interesting to say. this shaped my worldview lol
The leap from Rubber Soul, which is really quite good, to Revolver, is hard to believe even after all these years. Sure, there are some simple tracks like Good Day Sunshine, which are more like the early Beatles. But then you have She Said, Tax Man, and Tomorrow Never Knows. I've always viewed Revolver as the album where Lennon and Harrison are showing McCartney how to evolve his songwriting craft.
The shadow of this album looms large. And the pervasiveness of some keys songs makes it easy to take for granted. But listen to it closely and consider the context of the band and the times and you can understand why it is so big. And it does still hold up. “Eleanor Rigby” is a damn depressing song that manages to be catchy.
7/10 great psychedelic themes and a cool introduction into the pioneering of psych rock
This sent me on a trip
Overall 4/5: The Beatles have so many unique songs, and I get why they are covered so much. I think I regonized about a third of the songs before listening to this whole album. My first impression of this album was there was a TON of experimentation going on which I appreciate. Some of it I enjoyed and some of it I did not. Personally, I am not a huge fan of the Beatles singing, but the chord progressions, melodies, song structure, and rhytmn are so unique for some of these songs. This seems like an album where you impression might change after multiple listens because there is a lot to take in. Taxman 3.5/5: interesting use of stereo, cool bass and guitar riff and the drums fit well. The song was not as interesting as other Beatles songs for me though Eleanor Rigby 5/5: Classic, already familiar with this one, the Cody Fry version of this song is great I'm Only Sleeping 4.5/5: great harmonies and melody, interesting reverse guitar, interesting chord change in middle of song Love You Too 3.5/5: Like the sitar and Indian instruments, the melody was not interesting to me though, unique for a rock band which I can appreciate Here There and Everywhere 5/5: I am familiar with this one. This song goes so many places for the length, unique chord progression which is what makes the beatles music intersting for me. Yellow Submarine 4.5/5: Familiar with this one. I know people clown on this song sometimes because it is kinda stupid. It agree it is kinda stupid but to me it's funny and charming. She Said She Said 2.5/5: There is a lot going on here, but not really for me. The guitar tone is pretty unique and there are some interesting rhythmic elements here. Good Day Sunshine 3.3/5: It is a fun upbeat song that makes you want to bop your head. The piano is very low which is interesting and I like the piano solo. The modulation at the end caught my attention And Your Bird Can Sing 3/5: I like the harmonies guitar riff, and nice classic line cliche. I didn't dislike anything about this song, but nothing really caught my attention like some of the other songs For No One: 3.5/5 Classic ballad sounding but there was one chord in there that suprised me which I liked. Doctor Robert 2/5: I like the middle part, but the amount of times I heard Doctor Robert got kinda annoying and repetitive. I Want To Tell You 3/5: Cool sounding intro. I love the dissonant piano parts, very jazzy. Nice middle section to mix things up. Got To Get You Into My Life 4.5/5: Familiar with this song and the chorus is very catch and I love the brass parts and lead up to the chorus. I have to say the Earth Wind & Fire version of this song is so much better (but I am bias because that is my favorite band) Tommorow Never Knows 2/5: All the background sounds caught my ear hear. I don't even know what was going on at the 1 minute mark. I can't say I enjoyed listening to this my first time around but I appreciate expermentation. That was almost too much to take in for my first listen.
Probably the best Beatles record. Period. Tough because Sgt. Pepper is such a fantastic album as well. However, Revolver stands apart in many ways.
Fire
An absolute favorite. Loved the excuse for a full re-listen.
Favorite track(s): Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I'm Only Sleeping, Love You To, Here, There and Everywhere, Yellow Submarine, She Said She Said, For No One, Tomorrow Never Knows Inside you there are two wolves: one of them loves Pet Sounds, the other loves Revolver. They're both losers. First time listening to the 2022 remix and it sounds great. Heard before Previous rating: 10/10
Kanske det bästa albumet från världens bästa popgrupp. En total klassiker! Självklart en femma. Hookarna, riffen, sånginsatserna, basen, trummorna, texterna, innovationerna, stråkarna, ljudeffekterna ....
my favourite beatles album when i was a kid :) kinda funny how this is the second album i've gotten this week featuring a song that frank ocean has sampled on blonde
I used to stare at this album cover for hours.
All these albums sounds the same: A couple of good classic songs. Some Indian vibes. And some boring ones. Btw, I prefer SRV version of Taxman! All together, it gets what it disserves.....being average
This was the first Beatles album I found myself eager to relisten to. It had a lot of good songs on without being so much of a chose as the White album.
I am TRYING to like The Beatles, but I just don't. I kind of like Tomorrow Never Knows, but only because "Setting Sun" by the Chemical Brothers is the same basic beat, and I like it better.
the termites
Los bitels
Where are all the lonely people was a classic but what the hell was we are all in a yellow submarine, legit can't find out
this was released the same year i was born. My mom keeps repeating some of The Beatles songs from time to time. Listening the whole album in 2026 made me feel nostalgic. Good music, good Album. I wish this album is kinda longer...
Never listened to this straight through! Liked it a lot
Is it just me or does this album cover look like Kiss with no makeup?
Brilliant …
Oh good… Yeah, so I guess I gotta give this one a 5. This and Abbey Road. The rest get 4s. Unless they’re prior to 65. Then… yeah, those are not well liked by me. We’ll have to see. Always a struggle with the Beatles. Do I really want to give this a 5? Not REALLY. But I feel I must. I mean some of their best work is here. And it’s good. They can write a song, ok? 5 Boolean: yes, yes, yes, yes ok?
As I've said before, there needs to be another ranking called "Beatles". They almost transcend ratings, not because every song is a banger, but because the effects of their work simply cannot be measured. Classic mid-late stage Beatles weirdness here. The 60s Indian-style strings and psychedelic affectations are incredible. Iconic #1 tracks aside, I love For No One and Your Bird Can Sing.
Dans le top3 des albums des coquinous. Relativement immense.
Honestly thought I’d like it more than I did. Some good songs but they were a bit too inspired by the sitar for my taste (felt like I was about to hear the mii noises from that TikTok audio).
I’ve had a couple of divisive opinions on some of the more iconic bands, but this isn’t going to be one of them. Front to back, this album was great. Honestly, the most surprising thing about this album was how little of it I knew. No notes on this one. Favorite songs: Eleanor rigby, love you to
One of the best albums by the greatest band of all time. Even if you don't love the Beatles, you can't deny that they're probably the most influential band of all time. That being said, I love them. This is a really cool album in my opinion because it comes right at the intersection of their early touring era (Please Please Me through Rubber Soul) and their later more experimental studio era (Sgt Pepper on). I believe this is also when they started to experiment with acid, so you see the beginning of the psychedelic influence, which is cool. So long story short, I love this album. 5/5
The first Beatles record of my project. I won't spend much words talking about them or the music here since the Beatles are totally worth the hype; they're one of the greatest bands of all time hands down. As for Revolver it's not my favorite Beatles record for one simple reason: every song is perfect- and way too short. The songs and the album itself both are. I simply can't rate it on the same level I would Abbey Road or the White Album for instance. Maybe worth the one missing point for its innovation, but it might be on a different day. Still this is a must listen, like most Beatles material.
when i first listened to this album when i was like 10, i thought this was the trippiest most experiment thing ever.
The greatest album ever made. Fight me.
It's not my favorite Beatles album, but it is another from their finest era. Classic from start to finish.
Not a Beatles fan - intricate songs certainly and i enjoyed listening to them but wouldn’t be my first choice
Startet mit 2 Meisterwerken doch wird von song zu song langweiliger
I refuse to rate something higher just because it's important. I like it sure, but personally it's just not my vibe.
i have this problem with lots of popular critically acclaimed bands where i hear all the hype & love for these records and then i listen to them and theyre good but they dont blow my dick and balls off so i end up a lil disappointed. anyways yeah its pretty good
For me, this is not a five-star album because it's consistent and every song is amazing. It's a five-star album because the great tracks outweigh the mediocre ones. Every Beatles album is like this.
I think this is one of their best if not their best. Manages to be consistent but has variety. I understand keeping your drummer happy but Yellow Submarine doesn’t do anything here. Songs like Elenor Rigby, She Said She Said, And Your Bird Can Sing and Tomorrow Never knows stand out for me, unlike many Beatles albums there is no real trash filler as to be fair, unnecessary as it is, YS has a catchy chorus and is harmless enough. Bearing in mind this hit in 66 it’s apparent to see why it had such an impact. 4.2
3.6/5. Some great tunes, some less good. But they were creating all this from a base of absolutely nothing. Absolute pioneer music this, probably why there are a few missteps. But when they get it right they really get it right.
It's obviously an incredibly influential album and way ahead of its time. Eleanor Rigby and To Get You Into My Life are the highlights for me. There some stuff that doesn't appeal so much but it's a diverse, interesting album that benefits from repeat listens.
Decent but overrated. I do appreciate the musical innovation of the Beatles.
Mein erstes Beatles Album…NAJA
While I find some bands to have too many albums on this list, the Beatles is not one of them. Their sound evolved so much over time and only got better that it's important to celebrate them all.
its the beatles, what else can you say. i didnt like i love you to and the last song, felt like they where out of place
No es el mejor álbum de los Beatles pero es excelente. Tremendas canciones salvo algunas excepciones las cuales siguen siendo buenas canciones pero hasta ahí. Escucharlo de nuevo no creo que lo escuche pero la mayoría de las canciones definitivamente si, gloria eterna a los Beatles.
Si me preguntabas cuál era mi álbum preferido de los Beatles había grandes posibilidades de que te diga que era este, pero escuchandolo hoy siento que puede haber cambiado eso. Es un álbum que, en mí opinión tiene 8 canciones muy top, pero hay otras que me sacan un poco y me hacen sentir que estoy escuchando una playlist de los beatles más que un álbum. Eso era poniendome exquisito, pero de igual manera es un tremendo álbum que voy a seguir escuchando. Mis preferidas son: For No One, Im only sleeping, got to get you into my life y Eleanor Rigby. 9.2
Una obra maestra, ningún álbum puede alcanzar la perfección entre las letras y la pureza del sonido que tiene Revólver. Es el único álbum como tal que me fumo escuchar entero de The Beatles. A veces pienso y no llego a dimensionar todo lo que existe hoy en la música gracias a ellos. En particular este álbum me lleva a ver esa transición entre la música original de ellos y su transición al rock psicodélico siendo el máximo álbum a mi entender de este post generó. Cómo sensación personal algunas canciones me llevan a mi infancia, escuchaba mucho algunos temas. Top Picks 🌟 1- I’m Only Sleeping (temon) 2- Eleneor Rigby 3- Yellow Submarine (mítico)
Classic and one of my favorite Beatles albums!
Some great tracks. Can see how it was so far ahead of its time
Welp, it's time for another final album from a prevalent band on this list. With this, I have listened to my final Beatles album of the 1001 Albums project. Well, okay, I do still have 2 Paul McCartney solo albums and a John Lennon solo album waiting for me within the next 124 days, but as far as the band itself goes, this is it. This is the end, and boy is it a great one. Revolver is absolutely outstanding. Obviously, I am far from the first person to say that, but that doesn't mean I can't still say it anyway. To me, this is the Beatles' first truly excellent album. Rubber Soul is great and all, but this, I feel, was the band's first masterpiece. I mean, this thing has 3 George songs on it! That's more than most other Beatles albums! But yeah, this album really is unlike any other that had been released before or since. The experimentation is the most exciting that it had been in a Beatles album up to this point. The increased Indian influences, the studio trickery, and the variety in instrument usage allows Revolver to never feel stale or repetitive. It certainly helps that the songwriting on here is some of the best in the Beatles' entire discography. I feel like I haven't highlighted enough individual songs on past Beatles reviews, so allow me to do so right now. "Taxman" is such a cool opener. The more aggressive sound and the explicitly political lyrics do an amazing job of instantly making you realize that these guys are as serious as they'll ever be about making an album. The guitars are so good too. "Eleanor Rigby" comes next, and it's probably the album's best song. It's so simple on paper, yet so captivating in execution. The string section is absolutely stellar, and Paul's songwriting is some of his finest. Excellent song. "Here, There and Everywhere" is just lovely. It's a nice ballad. I don't know what else I can say. I probably should say something about "Yellow Submarine" just because of how popular the song is. I don't hate it, but it's certainly not my favorite on the album. It's also not my favorite childish Beatles song sung by Ringo, but that's only because "Octopus's Garden" from Abbey Road is as good as it is. "She Said She Said" and "And Your Bird Can Sing" both have phenomenal guitar parts. In fact, Revolver might actually have my favorite overall guitar performance on any Beatles album. The production just makes the solos hit harder than they do on the other albums. Great stuff. If you want great piano-focused songs to switch things up a bit, "For No One" will give you everything you could want and more. Delightful song. Finally, I'll talk about the album's closer, "Tomorrow Never Knows." God, what a song. This is probably the most experimental song on the album, and it pays off so well. John's psychedelic songwriting and the insane studio shenanigans used on the song allow the song to still feel out-of-this-world even to this day. I wish I could call this the best Beatles album closer, but "A Day in the Life" exists, so it'll have to settle for second place instead. Man. This album is so freaking good. There are so many things happening on this album, and they shouldn't all work, but they somehow do. The fact that an album like this was made in 1966 astonishes me. I can't call this my personal favorite Beatles album. Funnily enough, that honor still belongs to my first Beatles album of the project, Abbey Road, but if someone told me that Revolver was their favorite Beatles album, I'd get it. I have nothing else to say. Revolver is absolutely a masterpiece. 5/5.
Some of their most interesting production ngl. Top 5 Beatles album for sure 💯
Really enjoyed this Beatles album, especially the incorporation of the eastern instruments and droney parts on the back half. The album has a few well known songs, and some experimental numbers in between. Good balance! 4.1/5.0
Real good.
Just one of the best
Mafalda y yo somos el top global d beatlemaniacs. 4.5
aunque no es el mejor álbum que tienen siempre los beatles van a tener algún banger, se notó mucho la influencia de la india
A goddamn masterpiece. I don't listen to the Beatles on my own that much. It's not that I don't like them, I do. There's just other stuff that I like to listen to more. But man, this is just a great album. And Tomorrow Never Knows...just a great way to end it and a preview of where things were going. Whenever I hear the Beatles, I'm just astounded at the amount of music they were able to put out in such a short amount of time. A ridiculous run that will never be matched...going from ultra pop boy band to a band that pushed incredible boundaries and influenced practically every band that came after it in the span of 6-7 years...just incredible.
this was a great listen. Recognized several songs on this one for sure. 4 stars.
I realized i never consciously listened to the Beatles - them being kind of this omnipresence of "people know them". liking it so far, a lot more than i expected especially "Eleanor Rigby", "Love You To" and "For No One" - everything is musically interesting but not necessarily my taste
Good album with good songs. Not exactly my favourite style but enjoyable to listen to and some standouts like Eleanor Rigby
Obviously this is one of the greats. I initially had a 4 in kind but upon hearing it again, I couldn’t see why this wouldn’t be a 5. Love You To is the duff track. Yellow Submarine can grate on me sometimes, but it’s not that bad really. Some of the songs seem to fade out quickly out of nowhere too. Regardless, it’s still a good album.
Biitles-reukku ei uponnut minulle. Hitusen tylsää.
Todella kova Beatles-levy, tämäkin hyvinkin tuttu levyllinen hittejä. Ei kovin paljoa uutta sanottavaa
Might listen again but overall wasn’t necessarily getting into the vibe
I mean it's the Beatles so hard to find many issues with this album. I think this is definitely in the top 5 of their albums. Some really great songs, no notes.
I always appreciate when the generator gives me a heavy hitter on a Friday. Third Beatles album in this experience and one that I did not expect to enjoy as much as I did! The songs don't overstay their welcome and the experimentation on certain songs doesn't feel unwanted or pretentious. Where this album really won me over is the fact that it doesn't drag towards the back half. In fact, one of my new favorite songs from the album, "Gotta Get You Into My Life," is the penultimate song and I don't know how many albums I can say that about. 5/5
Staring with an album that I must have listened to 100s of times is no challenge. My favourite Beatles LP. It took a while to get into it, but once I did I loved everything about it. 10/10
Was honestly a boring album I can understand why they were popular at their time but now it just feels like a more slow and inconsistent album making it more difficult to listen too, Eleanor Rigby feels like the only good song.
Este álbum puedo notar que es como una fusión entre lo que venía haciendo los Beatles con lo que empezaron a experimentar toda esa fusión y experimentación que estaban llevando, y probablemente porque los hicieron tan grandes porque tiene mucho ese ritmo característico de los Beatles y de canciones pop del momento, pero también canciones bastante experimentales y juguetonas
mon album préféré des beatles
For No One’s my favorite, such a gentle and pretty song. She Said is also a classic, I love throwing this one on instead of a Tame Impala song whenever that’s requested because no one who is tiktok brain damaged notices. The clear highlight is Yellow Submarine, though.
Iconic Beatles.
Una bomba de disco. Le pondría 4.5 estrellas pero no puedo. Lo único que no me gustó fue la última canción y Love You To
6.36
Yaay, more white people music!
Surprisingly short songs but mostly forgettable
its great. just sadly too short
Fantastic album. Not all songs are hits, but there are a bunch and the album just feels like a cohesive package even though the individual tracks are so different.
The first Beatles album the generator has given me, and it almost feels like a shame. Not due to the quality of the record in question - quite the opposite. Revolver, in my eyes, is the single most cohesive and complete album the fab 4 put out. It's got such a great sound and every relisten yields something new. Simply brilliant.
The Beatles groundbreaking record but it’s not sgt peppers or the white album the it must be revolver If your unsure why the Beatles are so highly regarded then remember that on Three separate occasions contemporary reviews were staggered by the diversity and innovation on display . revolver sits in the middle and is no less worthy for that . Complete different to what came before. Taxman - an angry jazzy rebuttal to actual tax problems . Still based on jangly guitars but with a driving baseline is followed by the symphonic pop of Eleanor rigby . Beautiful and slightly disturbing The quaint Fab Four still can be found on songs like I’m only sleeping and she said but now with added sitar and the start of psychedelic sounds that would be expanded on in their next groundbreaking release Yellow submarine and Dr Robot toy with being novelty songs but manage to stay relevant- just
4 lads get into the studio and change the musical narrative.
i know i tend to get to music later than other people do, but i seriously don’t know how i let revolver (or the beatles in general) slip past me. listening to revolver confirms what i have already heard about it- it’s a trailblazer. i found myself listening to it and recognizing how it still influences a lot of music today. off first listen, my favorite tracks were i’m only sleeping, eleanor rigby, and got to get you into my life
Some tracks are so beautiful and detailed that I can envision myself in 1966, with the specific sights, smells, and sounds…although I am several years younger. Other tracks were complete throw away. It’s a mixed bag
The jump in creativity from With The Beatles to THIS is insane. I’m still impressed by the special effects and worldly influences on this album today. I can’t even imagine how this must’ve sounded in 1966. It’s also cool hearing more from George (and Ringo I guess) on vocals and how each of them have their own lyrical styles that play off each other. Truly timeless!
No doubt about a five for this, possibly their best (and Tomorrow Never Knows - probably their best). Would give many more stars if I could
https://1001albumsgenerator.com/albums/3PRoXYsngSwjEQWR5PsHWR/revolver
Classic Beatles, great stuff. But I've heard it soooo many times.
Potentially my favorite Beatles album though it’s pretty hard to choose. And For No One is also possibly my favorite song of theirs. But again, that’s kind of an impossible decision to make
Their best album. Yes, I mean it. Want to fight about it?
An absolute pinnacle, one of the highest. Still sounds fresh and experimental, incredible guitar sound, barely a weak track.
Ehh
Still hate the Beatles.
8/10 I like the Beatles a lot. But Yellow Submarine drags this down from great to very good. Stupid song, haunting my primary school days being forced to sing it.
Their first of 4 perfect albums. There is a reason why they sold a BILLION records. This is one of them.
Taxman - repetitive but masterpiece anyways Eleanor Rigby - cultissime, rien de moins I'm only sleeping - unenergized, but very chill and cool Love you to - feel like a knight at the tavern and love that Here, there, and everywhere - love the chorus, not the song... Yellow submarine - cultissime. She said she said - groovy and rocky, love that Good day sunshine - "insert dumbass Patrick star meme" 🤠🤪😃 And your bird can sing - good song, too short for anything crazy, love the guitar tho For no one - Beatles song, good asf Doctor Robert - very good, rock n' roll vibes I want to tell you - good but melancholic asf Got to get you into my life - relatable, good sing, good guitar and drums Tomorrow never knows - very experimental, still love the influence Definitely not my favorite Beatles album, but still good and relevant 60 years later
05/20/26 - I'm several albums behind on the project right now. This is an easy 5. I could skip it, but I won't. I don't like the cover of this album. If it's not my least favorite Beatles cover, it's certainly in the bottom 3 and that contributes to why I often overlook it when thinking about what album to listen to. Every time I hit play, though, I realize that it's one of their best and could even be my favorite (for a time) some day (see my other Beatles reviews for more info on this). Anyway, fantastic record. Best band. 5 stars forever. Now I just have to resist the urge to do my third discography run of year and carry on with the next entry...
Could be their best album. I’m a major Beatles glazer so I’m going to give every album on here a 5/5 but this one was the first one that they released that stretched the boundaries they set prior. No song on this album misses.
По-настоящему переходный альбом для группы, уже почти полностью вступившей в свою взрослую, психоделичную эру. Если их предыдущий альбом Rubber Soul, который я тоже считаю переходным, как раз объединял в себе мелодичность и рок-н-ролльность их ранних работ с уже более серьезными темами и новаторскими аранжировками, то в Revolver они уже с головой ушли в эксперименты с психоделикой, LSD, индийскими мотивами и ситаром. Хотя место для их классических мелодичных баллад типа Eleanor Rigby и Here, There And Everywhere тоже нашлось, но при этом чувствуется, что как авторы они уже ушли далеко вперед. Не могу даже представить, какой эффект для неподготовленного слушателя в 1966м могла оказать Tomorrow Never Knows. Делать такую музыку в такое время это просто читерство и имба. Так выглядит абсолютная гениальность. Мне лично этот альбом, даже абстрагируясь от его влияния, очень заходит, тут целая россыпь одних из самых интересных битловских композиций, так что по любой шкале от меня максимум
Как же Ноэли и Лиам Джи построили все свое легаси на стыренных битловских песнях. Это уже даже не смешно. Легенды.
База
ну это один из любимых альбомв битлов, это 5
Stærkt album føler der er nogle virkelig gode sange. Var overrasket over det indiske på Love You to og det barokke strygere osv på eleanor. Virkelig sådan legefuldt og der er også noget satirer agtige over yellow submarine som er meget sjovt. Også bare nogle klassiske Beatles sange som good day sunshine. Er overrasket over den der “world” vibe man får af det indiske det gør mig virkelig nysgerrig på hvornår genren sådan reelt udsprang og det blev seriøst. Normalt er jeg ikke glad for Beatles men det her var bare super godt! Kan godt forstå det er hyped.
I feel like most people rate this really high just because it’s the Beatles. Yes, the Beatles have many great hits and a few of them lives in this album, but I feel like the entire album in its entirety wasn’t like world changing to me. It’s still good tho, yellow submarine is a banger and it was one of like 10 songs on my iPod when I was little. Always on loop
bangerz. high 4
Meh
I've never delved into the specifics of why the Beatles were so revolutionary. From my untrained millenial ear, the music just doesn't hold up. I don't get the hype. All their songs are bubbly and over-harmonized. Maybe there's some deep meaning to lyrics, but if so, I don't get it.
The vest one yet. Didn'T like the different side of where the musice got played from
Good
primero d los beatles
无需多言
I listened to this album 1000 fucking times as a kid since my mom loved it but I truly have almost no attachment to it outside of childhood nostalgia. I find it better than most other Beatles albums but nothing they do has ever really grabbed me. Overall kind of boring and reminds me that the Beatles were just shitty shitty people.
Their seventh album. Pop / Rock / Psychedelic. From Taxman and Eleanor Rigby to Here There and Everywhere and Yellow Submarine and all the tracks in between and all the way down to the amazing finale that is Tomorrow Never Knows, this is a work of classic genius. The innovation and influence of this album cannot be over stated. The writing is fantastic musically and lyrically with beautifully done arrangements. One of THE great albums.
4.5 stars I used to feel like this album was overrated. When I found out it was regarded as possibly their best I would scoff. It’s obviously good, but I thought it sounded more dated than their later stuff and I didn’t think it aged well. But then I discovered the Mono version of the album, mixed as the band had intended. Suddenly the album clicked into place for me. What I didn’t like about the sound of the album was the shoddy way the stereo was mixed. Still not my favorite of theirs, but the brilliance is clear. This album was a revolution, elevating them from phenomenal songwriters to masters of their craft. Why am I still writing? It’s impossible to write this kind of shit without sounding corny as hell.
mejor mierda
already listened to it but still a classic tops songs: taxman eleanor rigby i’m only sleeping here, there and everywhere
I can hear how Revolver was a critical album in forming the sound that would be embodied by "Sgt Pepper" and "The White Album," but I still think the former has some of their worst songwriting (the obvious example being "Yellow Submarine"). It does have some good songs on it and does end strong, but I don't think it ever reaches anywhere near the heights that their later albums would.
My fave Beatles album. 10/5
This album flew by so fast. Hardly a weak song in the group. Eleanor Rigby is timeless.
What can i say? Its the beatles!
A+
my goat paul put for no one (maybe the best song ever), here there and everywhere, and eleanor rigby on the same album how can it not be a 5
It brings me much pain to not give Revolver a 5, but unfortunately I can't. 'Yellow Submarine' fucking sucks, 'Doctor Robert' is mediocre and 'Good day Sunshine' plods along with no real place on the album. Despite its many masterpieces, it is far from a perfect album, and I'll never understand how so many people consistently rank this in the Beatles top 3 records.
some beautiful songs
Revolver is, in my opinion, the best Beatles album and in my top 3 albums of all time. It contains so many incredible songs that it’s not even worth listing them because they’re all so good. Even the B sides of this era like Rain are top class. Those guitars, man. Infectious. There isn’t an album with a guitar sound I like more than Revolver. The perfect tone and level of distortion to produce an ecstasy of timeless psychedelic fuzz. So many bands I love have been inspired by this that it’s impossible to list them but Oasis and Tame Impala come to mind. What’s more is this album has the perfect amount of variety and balance. It contains some of the best non-guitar Beatles songs in Eleanor Rigby and For No One, punchy pop tracks in Taxman and And Your Bird Can Sing, the absolute heaven that is Here There and Everywhere and I’m Only Sleeping (my favourite Paul & John songs respectively), classic singalongs in Yellow Submarine, and the pioneering Tomorrow Never Knows which invented a huge genre of its own. I could go on and on about this album and it really is that good. I haven’t even mentioned unbelievable lyrics and songwriting. I’m running out of superlatives! 1000000 stars.
Ik snap wel wat mensen hier vet aan vinden. Dit is wel een stuk bijzonderder dan de eerdere Beatles albums als je het mij vraagt. Je hoort de buitenlandse invloeden, hoor ik een soort Indiaas geluidje daar? Maar ik weet niet, misschien zijn mijn verwachtingen gewoon veel te hoog. Deze mannen zijn een soort god voor muzieksnobs overal, en dat hoor ik niet helemaal. Wel beseffen dat dit uit 1966 komt, dat is wel echt insane. Wat dat betreft snap ik het wel, deze muziek is destijds ontzettend vernieuwend geweest. Nu is het, tsja achterhaald wil ik niet zeggen, maar het is niet meer zo vernieuwend. Er zitten wel echt hele vette nummers tussen, Eleanor Rigby vind ik echt prachtig en als er meer van dat op stond was het de makkelijkste 5 die ik had gegeven. Nu zit er echter ook wat matigere nummers zoals Dr Robert op. Tomorrow never knows is denk ik net iets te zwaar als trip. Holy shit wat is de cover trouwens vet. Alles bij elkaar? Ja ik denk wel dat dit mijn favoriete Beatles album is, dus ja, dan moet het ook wel een hoger cijfer krijgen dan de rest. Er zit een hoop op wat ik vet vind, en ok het is niet allemaal even sterk. Maar soms moet ik ook gewoon realiseren dat dit uit 1966 komt. En met dat in het achterhoofd is dit, ook nu nog, gewoon echt een goed album. Jammer dat ik die vinyl heb weggeven... FAVO: Eleanor Rigby, Here, There, and Everywhere, Yellow Submarine, Got to get you into my life
Once again, what more can be said about this Beatles album that hasn't been said before. I think it's potentially the most cohesive album, but it no more or less excellent than other albums. Lots of classics. I used to think this was my go-to Beatles, but I think it has since been replaced. I shan't divulge what has replaced it, on threat of death.
Chaque toune a sa texture. Ça pourrait sembler un peu pêle-mêle, mais tout est tellement top notch que ça feel super cohérent. Difficile d'avoir un Beatle préféré en écoutant cet album.
Admittedly a foundational album that has inspired popular music for decades to come. However, besides a few standout tracks, I feel like this record isn't really THAT special. Perhaps it was a more innovative record at the time. Also, the cover is horrifying. Favourite tracks: Eleanor Rigby, And Your Bird Can Sing Least favourite tracks: Taxman, Doctor Robert
Enjoyed it; eclectic sound kept it interesting (though cohesive?). A few songs that were new to me. Eleanor Rigby my fave.
Pretty much perfect record, classic Beatles
Great tunes that become laughable at some cases just listening to these men sing it. Experimentation I thoroughly enjoyed, it felt very seamless and the mixing in headphones was heavenly. Reminds me of Type O Negative, and now I see where their inspiration comes from.
I like Revolver, but it's certainly not my favorite Beatles album. That would maybe be Rubber Soul or Let It Be? This one is pretty good though. I do like the Beatles but not everything by the Beatles and I feel like Revolver included the seeds of what their sound evolved to but didn't have the same crunchy hooks of their earlier stuff.
3rd Beatles album of the list lets go!! Starting off with Taxman, typical Beatles track. Good, solid.Eleanor Rigby, obviously a classic. Such a great narrative and music to support it. I’m only Sleeping is a good track, and I always love a little Sitar like in Love you to. I really Here there and everywhere and obviously yellow submarine is obviously great. I loved and your bird can sing! For no one had some amazing piano. Doctor Robert was really fun. Had a good groove to it. I want to tell you also had that nice groove. Ending up with Tomorrow never knows. Great piano! A decent closer. It’s a Beatles album! Not my favourite one, but what more can I say. 4/5 ⭐️ 127/1089
Top 5 record of all time for me. It is absolutely perfect.
Not even the blemish of Yellow Submarine can make this album less perfect.
Surprised it took this long to get a Beatles. For all the britpop they inspired, it's nice to have the originals.
i mean its the bootles
Could have been a 5, if not for Yellow Submarine.
One of my favorites
Best Beatles album? Maybe? Maybe not?
Beautiful. Would buy
I mean
pretty good, has enjoyable songs
I'm quite amazed that this album came out in the 60's, it truly sounds like an 80's punk rock album; meaning this must have been one of the pioneers for that kind of sound. my favourites were only sleeping, she said she said, and good day sunshine. like a 3.5
pendelt immer zwischen mid und solide. extrapunkte für pionierstatus vom album
I feel like this was The Beatles when they were on the cusp of more greatness to follow on the next albums they released. Whereas I would say this is an okay album, nothing too special. It has great tracks like Eleanor Rigby, Taxman, Here There and Everywhere, Tomorrow Never Comes, but I feel there's a lot of filler too.
Great album!
abit messy for me icl
Having to listen to yellow submarine at my big age, worst beatles album
A classic that holds up after 60 years
I’m not a Beatles super fan but I do believe that they are the greatest band of all time. My favorite era is’65/66 my favorite album is Rubber Soul but this is a close second. This record is 60 years old and we can all sing along to half the songs on it. This is an all time classic.
A great album, obviously. I always forget how fast they were moving at that time -- 1966! I could take or leave Dr. Robert, but this is a true no skips record. George unfortunately drew the wrong lessons from Love You To, and went on to produce a string of tedious Indian classical derived songs, but I like this one pretty well. Tomorrow Never Knows is its own fascinating story, with its long life of cover versions. And Yellow Submarine, which must be the top Ringo song in the catalog (?), also led to, obviously, the movie, but also, following the film, its own album. So, it casts a curiously long shadow for a silly semi-novelty song. In other words, great collection of songs, but also an album that is interesting in several directions at once. 318/357
My parents had Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band among their twenty LPs. Also in there was the Tijuana Brass Band, Joan Baez and Ravi Shankar's intro to Indian ragas. Needless to say, I was starved for music. And ignorant of the scope of the form. My allowance was a pittance, and until I started to work at 15, I never had enough money to purchase music. However! One gets by with a little help from one's friends, and in this case, the friend was Elise! Her parents had more records--including Revolver, which she recorded for me on my first gift tape/mix tape evar. This is heart music for me. However I hadn't listened to it in ages. So I played it on my car stereo and sang along; and played it through my AirPods and sang along. I forgot how crisp and clever their songwriting could be! Yes they experimented, and I'm all for that; but the songwriter songs they created together literally gave rise to the next wave of pop, and soared past of it. I watched A LOT of Doctor Who growing up, so I enjoy myself creating little scenes from 1966, 1967 as I visualize the songs. Neck scarves. Sexy looks and martini glasses. Burgundy everything! I also hear just how remote this music is from the music of our time... not just from our music, but from our culture. I hear the Beatles finally losing their home in my heart.
Every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving I attend a live performance of Beatles covers. It's fantastic hearing their songs live, carefully done but not overly fussy. That's the primary way I've been taking in Beatles music for the past couple of decades, and despite how much I already liked their catalog, this event has actually increased my enjoyment of their work. I've even started to like the McCartney contributions more, although as an adult I have been more of a Lennon fan. I's incredible to me how well this album holds up. (So much better than the Simon & Garfunkel record from a couple years later.) Every song on here is enjoyable and it includes some of my all time favorites from their catalog including Tomorrow Never Knows.
The first Beatles album to come up for me. So good. No notes.
Dober
Some good songs, but a lot of what feels like filler for an album that’s only 30~ minutes.
Eleanor Rigby was a great song
A perfect album.
It’s one of the best albums I’ve ever heard and one of my favorite albums of all time This turned them into goats
Revolver is the kind of album you get used to after hearing it a bunch of times on the radio. I think its quite obvious that Eleanor Rigby is a banger Quite fond of I’m Only Sleeping and Here, There and Everywhere too. Yellow submarine was pretty fucking horrible.
Great
it was the Beatles...
Not the best Beatles album but it’s still a best ever album. Some filler but enough Tomorrow Never Knows and Eleanor Rigby carry it back to five stars.
In my opinion, this is where the Beatles peaked. Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road get all of the (necessary) acclaim, but their first full realization of psychedelic and forward-thinking recording techniques and composition is also their most brilliantly consistent record.
This is my third listen to the Beatles of the project. It's their turning point(along with the preceding Rubber Soul) when the Beatles truly began to experiment with their sound rather than make standard pop music. Fittingly, it has many great Beatles songs on it, with the one-two punch of "Taxman" and "Eleanor Rigby" being especially strong. Many of the lyrics are simple love lyrics, but the first two songs have excellent lyrics that tackle politics and the human condition. They also experiment with Indian music on a couple tracks, which works pretty well but doesn't augment their songwriting all that much. However, as evidenced by "Yellow Submarine", they have a silly side as well. The Beatles are often credited with inventing the modern pop song, and this album is loaded with great hooks that only further this impression. A true classic for sure.
I'm not a huge fan of the Beatles and I find the album pretty mid in itself...
Anything other than a 5 here would be an injustice. Taxman > Tmrw Never Knows ! Boom !
la primera mitad increiiiiiiible la segunda se me quedó un poquito corta
Classic, and feels appropriate. Possibly the Beatles best album
No private session used for Spotify. Some folks think that this isn't the best Beatles album, but they are wrong. I say this because its a great guitar driven rock album blended some of the more experimental sounds that this band got into in subsequent albums.
Not sure that i fully captured the beauty behind sophistication
nunca me gustaron mucho los beatles siento que los temas son silly
Monster of an album, no way around that. And I don't mean how it's situated historically, where it's a big album for both the Beatles and, y'know, pop music in general. I mean that from just about whatever angle you come into this album, you'll find something interesting, but you're also gonna find something irritating. As an affirmed "later Beatles" liker, I think it's pretty obvious where I stand on what sound I prefer. It seems that the Beatles base of 60s pop slop upon which they made their name was of a particular type: not my favorite, but consistent. From this album on, the fracture is palpable in the tracklist. How the hell are Yellow Submarine and Love You To on the same album? The experimentation that makes this album so important is mostly built on pop...but sometimes it isn't. You can feel it. Sometimes it's just pop. Sometimes it's sitar music. It's all over the place. Is that good? For me, I dunno. I don't really want to sit down and listen to this album. Some days I'm like, "Ah fuck here comes Love You To" and some days I'm like "Ah fuck here comes Here, There and Everywhere" and some days I'm like "Ah fuck here comes And Your Bird Can Sing". The highs are there, but it's a bit of up and down depending on my mood. As a musical artifact, I don't think enough can be said here, and people a lot smarter than I am can say that. As an album, I think it suffers a bit in 2026, but that's a cop out. 50 years ago this thing is a mindblower.
Stereo mix is top notch - panning vocals, ocean and bar sounds on yellow sub, etc. never been a big Beatles fan. The greats are greatest of great, but the deep cuts lose me. Taxman was new to me, I was reminded how good Eleanor Rigby is, and how much I dislike yellow submarine. She Said soaring vocal opening is pure Beatles. Tomorrow Never Knows is best on the album and Ringos drums overcome and save it from the experimental chop notes.
De los primeros discos que escuche de adolescente. En vinilo en un Winco. Un viaje de sensaciones, cuando llegaba a Yellow Submarine era una fiesta.
Revolver is definitely the dawn of a new Era as far as Beatles albums are concerned. Revolver rotates in and out as my favorite Beatles album quite often. This record really feels like the first time the Beatles drop the boy band act completely. While Rubber soul started this trend, Revolver fully submerged them in the sound of psychedelia and the rockier sound we hear in the white album and Abbey Road. At the same time, it still feels like a perfect bridge/middle ground of both Beatles eras, as despite it’s druggier sound, it still has plenty of tunes that resemble their past, as well as where they were going. I love the guitar work on this one. I’d say John Lennon is the obvious stand out on this one. Revolver has some of my favorite songs by him. I’m only sleeping, And your bird can sing, She said, etc. Despite my qualms with some of the songs on the back half, this is still an easy 10/10 that stands the test of time and is the quintessential Beatles record.
Where the Beatles found their sound it’s perfect it’s short it’s enjoyable it’s cute it’s sad it has I’m only sleeping, which is my favorite song. Ringo is on yellow submarine it’s the turning point for the Beatles before they go on the run of a lifetime with abbey and white album. Just listen to it.
5 - mastapiece
Maybe there best?
Best Beatles album. Much more cohesive than I remembered. Really moving, though production and quality seem to vary based on release. Still, some of the best pure songs of the 20th century.
A 5 for any other band.
Not all that glitters is gold, and not everything by these scouse twats is a ten outta ten. Eleanor Rigby is tho.
ahh yesss ive heard this one before 10/10 no notes best track Here There and Everywhere
I won't knock off any stars for the album art even though I really want to. 5/5
Har hørt det flere gange nu. det er så kort at jeg har haft lyst til at lytte igen efter få minutters stilhed. Det er godt, men ikke lige så catchy some Abby Road. - Jeg sammenligner Beatles med Beatles, hvilket måske er unfair, for det langt over gennemsnittet på listen!
Fantastiske Beatles tracks, solide Beatles tracks og så er der Yellow Submarine
Meestal niet zo’n Beatles Guy maar dit album is toch wel echt geweldig.
Have listened to this album many times in the past
Favorite songs are probably I'm only sleeping or perhaps and your bird can sing. Dunno what else to say about this album, its fantastic.
This sucks ass, i dont get how anyone can call them the greatest of all time. fav song Tomorrow never knows
I mean it's probably my 4th or 5th favourite Beatles Album and I find it a bit patchy compared to some others. It is still one of the best things ever recorded.
Revolver es una genialidad de ingeniería sonora. Lo que impacta de entrada es la claridad con la que se distinguen los instrumentos; no es solo rock, es una exploración donde las cuerdas de "Eleanor Rigby" o los metales de "Got to Get You into My Life" crean una mezcla maestra que se siente más agresiva y moderna que sus trabajos anteriores. El álbum tiene ese aire contestatario y retador que reflejaba la realidad de los 60, pero con una ejecución técnica que hoy sigue sorprendiendo. Es un disco con una variedad emocional muy rica: transita desde la calidez de los arpegios en "Here, There and Everywhere" hasta pasajes que pueden resultar tétricos y oscuros como "Tomorrow Never Knows". La voz de los cuatro se percibe con una fuerza y autoridad de frontman clásico, logrando que canciones que hablan sobre la soledad o el paso del tiempo se sientan conmovedoras, crudas y reales. Es un álbum que, escuchado con audífonos, te vuela la cabeza por sus detalles y que, a pesar de los años, ha envejecido bien conservando su frescura original.
5/5
I didn't like The Beatles, or at least not the majority of their discography, so this album was for me a really painful time.
Très sympa ! J’ai apprécié les sonorités et l’ambiance générale de l’album.
Amazing
There's something good to find in nearly every track on this album. So good.
Hmm. I don't have a huge amount of familiarity of which tracks are on which albums with these guys because I was introduced via compilations. Just found out Revolver is among my least favourite of theirs! Ah well. still great.
I liked this, it was nice to have on in the background as I worked. Not something I'd put on to sit and listen to on its own.
Pas mon pref des Beatles mais qd même solide y a Got to get you into my life et Eleanor Rigby donc quand même 4
I don't think the revolutionary aspect of this album and what comes after from the Beatles can be anything other than a five. Sure, it has Yellow Submarine, a freaky little song about god knows what, but it also has two juggernauts of songs. Eleanor Rigby, Tomorrow Never Knows, both had an impact on music for the rest of history. Two have both here should be stated, and worth every star in the world. Of course the album should be listened to. But it's not like the rest is trash too, Here there and everywhere for example is a lovely song, taxman is quite interesting as an opener, and the list goes on. It has a theme and coherence, incredible variety in sounds, and ambition up the wazoo, it's incredible for 1966 and it was world opening when I discovered it myself almost two decades ago. I didn't need to listen to give it a score, but I still did, cause I'll forever vibe with this
Yes, I know... I always kind of refused to go with the Beatlemania. But honestly, I can't deny that this is just an insanely good album, with 10/10 tracks...
6/10
That wasn't that good. A messy pile of discordant styles with some of their least impactful pop cuts thrown in. For how iconic this album art is I'm shocked at the drop in quality here. 2.4/5 -> 2/5
They have done better I like Eleanor Rigby though
It’s fine.
WHAT? There are people on here giving this a one star??? IT'S SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC EVER MADE! Geez!
Yeh this is a badass album. Mad to think of the reaction when it came out. Tomorrow Never Knows, my word
Depending on the day, makes a strong case for my favorite Beatles album.
these British guys are crazy
Lowkey visionary.
One of the greatest albums ever recorded Best Song: For No One Rating: 10/10 Stars: 5
Beatles fan for over 36 years. For the majority of that time I’d say this is my top Beatles album. It’s still up there and battles with Abbey Road for me. It’s amazing that the young guys wrote songs like Eleanor Rigby or Here,There and Everywhere or Tomorrow Never Knows. Leaps and bounds from the more straightforward pop of just a year or two prior. The progression on their short career is astounding.
A lot of really great songs on here
Great album. The sitar can’t ruin it for me!
Amazing. Most songs were iconic, different and under 2:30.
George’s eyes on the cover haunt me but damn it’s a good album
Peak
It’s a 4.5 only Rubber Soul tops this from them
The count in to Taxman gets me riled up like a dog
Dit is mijn all time favourite Beatles album. Denk wel 100 keer geluisterd, maar gaat gewoon niet vervelen. Dit is voor mij de definitie van 5 sterren.
