Reviews (page 7 of 15)
I get that they're influential and important to music... But I just can't see it. I was actually looking forward to exploring more of the Beatles since I only know their most famous hits. This album was such a slog to get through even though it's pretty short. I only liked about one song
oh lmao. I love revolver. I've listened to this album a good dozen times already. it's iconic man. perfect that the first gen'd album that I've already heard is from the motherfucking beatles taxman is such a fun silly opening track eleanor rigby is fucking gorgeous and so compelling and I love the strings I'm only sleeping is catchier than it deserves to be. it's probably one of their most impressive compositions love you to is pretty cool, it's my least favorite song on the album but it's nice seeing george branch out into the east asian stuff that he cooked with even more on sgt pepper's here there and everywhere is just delightful. love when paul does a softer ballad yellow submarine too! I'm a lover of all things ringo and this song is catchy and delightful! but his voice cracks at the 1:58 mark 0/10 song she said she said is a banger. not much to say here but I always love songs with subverted rhymes same with good day sunshine! it's wholesome :D and your bird can sing slaps so hard and john's range here is incredible for no one is probably their saddest and I'd put it as my third fav beatles track (behind a day in the life & in my life). having it after a song basically about the same thing but way less petty... damn. also I'm a big paul fan lol I said that already doctor robert is funny after for no one and I like when they sing about drugs I want to tell you is cool. probably the one I have the least thoughts on though GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE! (ba da ba ba ba baaaaaa) (one of my favorite straight pop-rock songs ever made) tomorrow never knows is such a fun capper even though they totally upstaged it on the next 2 albums lol yeah I love the beatles I had to be extra and talk a little bit about every track on this eternally amazing piece of media that's not even in my top 3 albums from them!! fav tracks: taxman, eleanor rigby, I'm only sleeping, here there and everywhere, yellow submarine, and your bird can sing, for no one, got to get you into my life, tomorrow never knows big huge enormous 5/5 there's a reason everyone on this whole world loves these silly men
I have 7 different versions of this album. Steady4
Definitely one of the best Beatles album. Great mix of pop tunes plus a bit of experimentaiton too that holds together better than the White Album. A great re-listen.
Tous ceux et celles qui mettent moins de 5 étoiles à cet album doivent mourir avant la fin des 1001 albums! 😅
Moi aussi je place Revolver dans mon top des albums des Beatles.
Le meilleur album du Fab Four à mon sens (quand même lutte difficile avec rubber soul), ça commence fort. L'exploration de la microtonalité pour un groupe pop à l'époque c'est du jamais vu. Ex. I want to tell you et utilisation du mélisme. Les ballades sont sublimes (For No One et Here, There and Everywhere). Les effets de guitare (Taxman, your bird), envoûtants. Ça reste inégal malheureusement, mais pas autant que le tas de vomi qu'ils nous ont servi sur Sgt Pepper et Magical History Tour après (sorry, unpopular opinion). J'avoue skipper Yellow Submarine et Got to get you into my life souvent.
Un classique! Avec du beau sitar à l’occasion.
One of their best albums.
48/1089 actually quite enjoyed this even though i consider The Beatles not really my taste based on the singles and hits i’ve heard. I went into it thinking “at least i’ll like Eleanor Rigby” but ended up with a few others that i think i’ll return to. faves: Eleanor Rigby, Love You To, She Said She Said, Got To Get You Into My Life least faves: Yellow Submarine, Good Day Sunshine 3 stars or 65/100
September 4, 2025 Album #733: Revolver by The Beatles Genre: Rock, Pop, Psychedelia, R&B I wasn’t expecting to get to this album so soon after Sgt. Pepper. And in the shoes of my review for that, what really is there for me to say? It’s fucking Revolver! It’s often regarded as one of the best albums of all time, as well as one of the most influential albums of all time. It’s weird to think that there was nothing in pop music that sounded like this when it released. *Taxman* is a fantastic opener, though the classic *Eleanor Rigby* follows in its footsteps with its melancholic strings. The following tracks, *I’m Only Sleeping* with its hints of psychedelia, and John’s nasally vocals and *Love You To’s* Hindustani influence showcase the experimentation on this album. The iconic *Here, There, and Everywhere* which showcases Paul’s vocals, and *She Said She Said*, showcases how sincere and amazing the love songs on this album are. The kiddy *Yellow Submarine* introduced me to the Beatles, so I have a soft spot for it, haha. Though, there are some songs that are weak compared to others here, like *Good Day Sunshine* and *Doctor Robert*, but it should be said that these songs aren’t bad. However, the experience this album builds leads to one of the best album closers of all time, *Tomorrow Never Knows*. It turns the experimentation up to 11, and it still sounds fantastic. This album is essential listening for any music lover. I highly recommend it, it’s a stone cold classic. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, Strong 8 to a Light 9 Favorite Tracks: Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I’m Only Sleeping, Love You To, Here, There, and Everywhere, Yellow Submarine, She Said She Said, For No One, Got to Get You Into My Life, Tomorrow Never Knows
One of the greatest albums ever.
Father McKenzie would agree that this is a 5 star album. The album that made the Beatles the biggest band ever. Plus, Yellow Submarine is fun, stop hating on it
Nokså traust midt-på-treet-plate dette. Kun veldig nødvendig å høre for blodfans.
Конечно не лучший альбом Beatles, но это не мешает ему быть одним из великих работ психоделического рока. На мой вкус в плане психодела Beatles сержант Пеппер выигрывает, потому ограничусь четырьмя звёздами
Timeless classic
My favourite Beatles album! Great songs and masterful melodies.
I have the first two and last two tracks of this album liked. That pretty much sums up the album for me, a strong start and end, with a bit of "interesting" filler. I would rarely, if ever, go out of my way to listen to this album by choice. However, I'm still giving it five stars. Although this is too basic for my tastes, it has to be said that much of the "more sophisticated" music I adore would probably never have existed without this album being produced. The filler also is very interesting indeed, not really something I enjoyed hearing, it's too short and raw, but they chuck everything at this album and almost all of it sticks. There's reverse guitar, sitar, trippy electronic effects, some standout drumming, and yes, there's "Yellow Submarine".
Yeah, can't do it. 2 stars
Very classic album. Clearly foundational to rock
One of the greatest and most important albums of all time.
Well. . . no doubt one the greatest albums of all time. Paperback Writer and Taxman are two of my favorites also Got to Get You into My Life
Easy classic
I am admittedly a bit of a Beatles hater. I hate to say that because I fully understand and acknowledge that McCartney has more musical talent in his right pinky nail than I can ever dream of. Yet, for some reason so many of their songs sound gritty, abrasive, and dissonant to me. I think their sound just doesn't click for me. That said, out of my limited knowledge of their full discog, I believe this is my favorite album by them. "Tomorrow Never Knows" has always been my favorite song by the Beatles, and "Eleanor Rigby," "Yellow Submarine," and "Got to Get You Into My Life" are all fun bops - the third being my favorite out of those three. I really don't know why I can't get into the Beatles. It frustrates me because I'm well-aware of how adored they are, how much they've influenced music and pop culture, and how much their music means to so many people. Yet...
It was ok, never been a huge fan of the beetles. This album sounded similar to the doors.
no matter how hard i try, i just can't muster the strength to like the beatles.
Not my favorite Beatles record but that’s still pretty good, more of their psychedelic era but with a couple of classic tracks like Eleanor Rigby
Best Song: Eleanor Rigby I don't know if I have ever listened to this album front to back but am familiar with 90+% of the songs. It's a good album, but by no means my favorite Beatles album. I am still giving it a 5 because it's still the Beatles. 5/5.
Awesome
What a streak I am on! The third 10/10 perfect album in 11 days after a drought of 140… This one is placed near the top of this list and for good reasons. You would be hard pressed to find a more audacious, experimental, and unusual album from a band at the absolute top of the world. This would be the equivalent of Taylor Swift dropping a disco indie jam band album in 2026. The Beatles (influenced heavily by certain psychadelics) didn't care. They went for it and what we are left with is one of the greatest albums to ever be put to tape. You have to imagine how absurd it was for a band to do something like this when their livelihood depended upon people liking the music. The tracks on here are all just different enough to drive curiosity, but still stay cohesive as a whole albums project. Tomorrow Never Knows sends it over the top as a bonafide 10/10 in my book.
Not bad but I wouldn’t buy it
Hui die Beatles. Best Band Ever! Lustig ich war früher eindeutig ein "Stoner" und in Argentinien gibts es eine Subkultur die nennt sich "Rollingas". Mag den Indien Einfluss, Sitar, LSD-Style sehr. c
This album is still great to listen to.
Eleanor Rigby is one of my favorite Beatles songs. God, it is depressing though. The use of sitar would be an issue of appropriation today. I don't get the hype. Five albums in and they have two great ones and three (so far) average ones. I know it's a goof and Ringo is the silliest Beatle, but Yellow Submarine is the second best song on this album. Good Day Sunshine sounds like something from Sesame Street. Their output is absolutely astonishing in terms of volume though.
Not my favourite Beatles album but a good listen.
It was okay, first time listening to Beatles so I feel like I had to be there. Was very old
Classic. Some really great well known songs and a some awesome less known, like “Doctor Robert.” Not my favorite Beatles album though.
Eftir að hafa áttað mig á að ég hef ekki mikið hlustað á plötur Bítlanna var ég svolítið spenntur að hlusta á þessa. Byrjar vel, endar vel og miðjan bara svona allt í lagi. Ég skil samt af hverju fólk beið í röðum spennt eftir plötunum þeirra. Ég hugsaði: Ú hvernig ætli næsta lag verði?
And your bird can sing onwards 🤌🏻
a 4
Great showcase of their varying talents and songwriting abilities.
The Beatles
top 3: - taxman - eleanor rigby ❤️ - i’m only sleeping
This is #day382 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and... "all the lonely people, where do they all come from?" Definitely an LSD/transformative record. Without any prejudice, I guess this is my favorite Beatles' work. It has that nice mixture of psychedelic/acid/experimental rock with the softer pop side of the band, although I do prefer the psychedelic moments more. Great harmonies all over. My personal highlights are "Taxman," "Eleanor Rigby," "Here, There and Everywhere," and "Tomorrow Never Knows." This is a 5 out of 5. Looking forward to #day383.
This is a great album
J’adore les Beatles
They never made a bad album.
Well, it is the Beatles but it is not their best album for me, great songs on it but sometimes quite weird and all over the place.
I know a lot of people say this is one of the best Beatles albums, but I disagree. There are some good songs on here, I love Eleanor Rigby obviously, but a lot of the album falls a little flat. I liked what came after this record a lot more. I think this is when they were just starting to get kind of weird, and I like the weird. It's hard to rate this album - I feel like it doesn't deserve a 4 but 3 is not quite enough. I think I'm calling it a 3.5 but will round down because the Beatles have done a lot better.
Not my favorite Beatles album but it's up there. Banger after banger after banger.
The only track that didn't fit was Yellow Submarine which I think is a 3 but some of the other tracks are so good.
Structure is a bit strange and the album feels a bit out of order, but otherwise this has the Beatles on top form and really every song here is great.
it's a good album, it reminds me of pretty odd by panic at the disco, which makes sense bc im p sure that album was inspired by the beatles. smth smth yoko ono. who's the singer again? do they all sing? do they all have the same voice? i thought they all sung but it just sounds like the one dude, maybe they all do backing vocals. i could just click the wikipedia link to find out but i dont feel like it. eleanor rigby slaps as usual.
A classic for a reason!
Terrible album, son los beatles que mas se puede decir 4/5
-ugh idk -maybe 4 stars just for Eleanor rigby -tbh I want to give it 3
Sure, it's great, but they still hadn't reached their peak yet. They were knocking on the door of true genius, but Taxman, Good Day Sunshine, Doctor Robert, etc. are still stuck in their early mode of songwriting. For me it's Sgt. Pepper's when the five-star albums begin.
Surprised I loved it
Кращий альбом Бітлів, баланс між раннім та пізнім звуком.
Not a top Beatles' album for me, but still contains several favorites.
This album is one of the greatest albums of all time
I’m sure this gets a five from a lot of people. It’s good but far from perfect.
4.5

top 3 beatles albums
Gun to my head, probably my favourite Beatles album. I love how it straddles the influence of their earlier boy band sound with the more experimental approach they would take on future albums. It also feels like the first time McCartney’s bass playing was elevated to be a prominent sound across a whole album. The early attempts of experimenting with tape delays and unconventional instruments are charming and show a band hungry to leave their past behind. Revolver marks the turning point for The Beatles being the biggest band at the time to becoming the biggest band of all time.
Rv
Legendary and fantastic music, truly groundbreaking album. One of the best ever and changed rock 'n roll for the better.
everything is so perfect except for that one song I have to skip
one direction could've done the same thing but with a prettier album cover. someone left the band early? check. tragically dead band member? checkmate.
Used to sing a lot of these songs on the bus in middle school with my friend. We were super cool. Anyways, 10/10 would still keep this in the set list for a bus performance. My mom also sang a lot of these around the house when I was little I think that even if this album wasn't saturated with good memories for me, it would still be a 5 :) So happy this is on the list, because otherwise I don't think I would've listened to it in it's entirety anytime soon
An amazing achievement by The Beatles. You can really tell that they were experimenting and expanding what was possible in the studio.
I don't think I'm much of a Beatles fan 😬
Top!!!
Awful Paul songs.
Obviously full marks, but it's not one of my favourites - some classics but no bangers. Here, There and Everywhere is awesome. Paul at Samba said that his sister was a big Beatles fan until she heard Tomorrow Never Knows and then she just stopped liking them!
Probably progressive for its day, cool sitar
Eleanor Rigby was possibly my favourite.
Good album - you can hear it as the bridge between the early pop and the later psychedelia…
Nicht mein Lieblings Beatles Album aber trotzdem natürlich gut. 3,5 Sterne
The Beatles, stop fighting, here, in India
When I think of the Beatles I don't think of albums but of singles. Don't think I ever listened to this as an album but I did now nearly all trackes. Innovative (at the time), influential and enjoyable you can't really ask for more can you.
Would be best album of all time if Yellow Submarine wasn’t on there
One of the best Beatles albums
What can you say about The Beatles without sounding like you’re jumping on the bandwagon. Nothing. They are head and shoulders above anyone else. Like cricketer Don Bradman; they are not just the GOAT, but they are so far ahead of anyone else before or since that they may never be surpassed (partly because the evolution of cricket/music make it almost impossible). Revolver has everything. From the effects to the production, to say nothing of the quality of the songs (yes even Yellow Submarine sounds great). Nothing more to say here. Except I don’t even think this is my favourite Beatles album. ...And I can't put into words how good Eleanor Rigby is
The Beatles have at least three perfect albums, and this is one of them. Admittedly it is #3 in my personal ranking (with Abbey Road at #1 and Rubber Soul at #2), but that doesn’t mean it’s really any less of an album than the other two. In fact, this album actually contains my favorite Beatles rocker (“Taxman”) and my favorite Beatles ballad (“Here There and Everywhere”). I know, I’m so unique. For real though, The Beatles, especially their later career, is an area where I can’t bring myself to be contrarian. Their legacy is deserved. Must-listen #193.
You'd need a Revolver to make me listen to it again. Perhaps influential and revolutionary at the time but this ain't it fr
Their best album ever, so the best album ever
Admittedly not a Beatles fan but more because I just haven’t listened to too much of them. Don’t think I’ll be listening to many of these songs twice. Too many just didn’t land.
Three words. Tomorrow Never Knows.
4.5 star
Melancholic and happy We all live in a yellow submarine Album feels like my mood on a workday Getting into it and falling out of it 6.5/10
Another classic
⭐︎4.0 全体的に明るく、短い曲が多い。 このアルバムにこの曲入ってたんだーという感想。 エジプト？アラビア？なメロディの曲が多かった。 傑作とされるTommorow never knows はまだ良さがわからなかった。
Banger after banger.
First half of album is great but vocals by John ruin a few after that - quite annoying when driving but saves himself with Tomorrow never knows. Stand out songs - Yellow submarine, For no one, Tomorrow never knows
My favorite Beatles work are once they really started to get into Hallucinogenic drugs and started getting creative with the recording process. Revolver (and Rubber Soul which preceded it) were the first results of that combination.
A masterpiece
Really good album.
Ranks up there with my favorite Beatles albums. Will stand by the opinion that "Yellow Submarine" sucks though.
So nice having an actual capital A Album again after drudging through the past week of mid-90s miasma. 4.5!
———————————— My non-musician scoring system. 5 - Love it. Would play anytime, buy, see live… 4 - Good music. 3 - Average playlist. Depends on time and setting. 2 - I can’t listen to whole songs. 1 - No.
Pretty fine album by The Beatles, some.filler here but I do really like Eleanor Rigby
one of the greatest albums of all time
That's good
First time listening to a Beatles album from start to finish and it was worth every moment. Highlights: - Taxman - Got To Get You Into My Life - Yellow Submarine
Carried by Eleanor Rigby, most other songs are just meh.
Just like Rubber Soul, Revolver feels like a transitional album between the old and the new Beatles. It’s better than Rubber Soul in my opinion, with a lot of creativity and some very interesting experimentations – the last song, "Tomorrow Never Knows", sounds amazingly, modern, it could totally have been made in the 90s (and still be original). But the rest of the album is a mixed bag, with some songs that don’t particularly stand out. It feels like something’s still missing before they truly reach their peak. Still a very good album for me, a solid 3,5*. Too bad the rating scale on this list is so limited, I end up giving the same note to albums that are wildly different in terms of quality.
I feel like this is academically a very interesting album, and it certainly has some landmarks in it in terms of recording techniques and the evolution of the psychedelic sound, but it's not the most coherent album, and has a few real throw away songs. Still, there's some great material, but it's not gonna be what I reach for as a Beatles album.
GOAT
Taxman is excellent. One of the better Beatles songs. The production is ahead of its time. But it's overplayed and overhyped. It isn't terrible by any stretch but I'm just not a huge Beatles fan. They're fine but and I respect them but not my absolute favourite.
don't get me wrong it's a great album but there are like at least 3 Beatles album that I would put above this one
An album full of memorable tracks, easy listening, delightful melodies and harmonies, with great composition. The differences in songwriting between John, Paul, Ringo, and Harrison are on full display. The Beatles are in a class of their own, this isn’t the best Beatles album but still an easy 5/5
Fantastic album. One of my favourites.
Such a fantastic album. This honestly might be their best. Every song sounds different and uniquely perfect. Eleanor Rigby gave me goosebumps, and might be their best song.
Psychedelic Beatles is the best Beatles. If I was forced to list the most influential albums of modern music, this would be in the top 10. Culturally, the album speaks directly to the 60's counterculture. This is important to musically because part of the intent was unraveling convention, which exploded artistic creativity. Technically, the album was important because the band explored many newly-developed production and recording techniques, forever changing the recording industry. Okay, so what about the music itself? There are many fantastic tunes on this record and together they helped inspire the development of genres like psychedelic rock, prog rock, world music and even electronica. Considering I appreciate all of those genres, it is not surprising that that I love this record. A perfect example of it being better to burn out that fade away. Recommendation: Best experienced stoned.
So so peaceful!! I absolutely love the vibes, lovey dovey at times, right amount of emotions and switch ups. Great listen from start to finish! Perfect album for a walk in the park or so. Beatles <3 so cheerful.
I did really like this album. You can hear what they are becoming as a band. It's is so soothing that takes you to different places looking at love, regret not to mention living in a yellow submarine. For an album to come out in 1966 and still sound this good speaks volumes about what a generational band they were. I'm always surprised by the depth of their music.
This album marks a before and after in the band, in a way it marks their descent into psychedelic chaos. I love chaos, and I love the Beatles' journey through it.
☺️
My favourite Beatles album and in my top ten of all time. Infinitely relistenable, fascinating songs. Final track is the most acid-y psychedelic song I've ever heard. Just amazing.
5/5 one of the best albums from the beatles
One of the greatest albums ever. Love most of the songs, and they are all classics. Hard to not give it a 5, but there were some songs that I didn't like a ton
One of their best. Eleanor Rigby... just great
Completely perfect, probably the best Beatles album besides Abbey Road.
Listened to entire Beatles catalog…this one’s particularly great!
When I was 16, this was my favorite album. I'm now in my thirties and it still one of my favorites.
Great Album
Amazing. My favorite Beatles record.
Turn off your mind, relax and float down-stream, isn’t that one of the greatest song lyrics ever? And it’s on this album so obviously this is a great album. I’m a boyhood Beatles fan and it was the Fab Four who inspired me and who were the catalyst to give me my life long love of music. So anything The Beatles did get an automatic 5 stars from me. Many argue which is the greatest Beatles album and many nominate Revolver. I prefer not to get involved in such arguments although for many years I would have said Sgt Peppers was the greatest album ever recorded. As I’ve matured and my music appreciation has widened I just think of The Beatles as I think of my parents. There at the start and responsible for all the love and nurturing I received. Any Beatles track holds a special place in my heart. So I equally love Here,There and Everywhere on this album, to Anna on their first and Come Together on Abbey Road. A few highlights for me on Revolver - Is it the only album ever to mention two British Prime Minister’s? For No One is one of the best songs about being ditched which I and I dare say many can relate to. Tomorrow Never Knows will forever stand as an aperitif for what was to follow. Yellow Submarine is derided by many but even that song had its uses as a football chant. What fun I have had over the years singing at Elland Road “We all piss in a red and black pot, a red and black pot, a red and black pot”. 5/5 27/7/25
Very cool cover art for 1966, especially compared to some of their earlier works. Really should've listened to some of The Beatles by now but never really got around to it, so this is my first real experience of them. It's very strange seeing the length of this record and some of the songs, since I was under the impression 2 minute songs were only a real thing in modern times. I do kinda like it, as it's impossible for any song to outstay its welcome. Some intros or outros would've been nice to process the tracks a bit more before the next one, but it is what it is. At least some tracks fade out but even then it feels like it ends before it should. With all that said, it's a nice listen. I can't say it's as close to a 5 as some of the other record's I've listened to on here, but it's definitely nowhere near a 3 either. Strong album with some good songs. Instantly, Taxman's instrumental sounded familiar but I'm not sure if that's just me or not. The vocal harmonisation is really cool and the instrumental is striking. I can't say I like how it's separated in each ear and I have a feeling that's gonna be a theme in the record, but I guess that's just a product of its time. Eleanor Rigby has nice panning at least. Didn't expect string instrument usage on here but it sounds really good, and the vocals are similarly fulfilling, the melodies are great. I'm Only Sleeping was a bit jarring with how quickly it got into it, after the sudden ending of Eleanor Rigby, but it's thankfully a relatively chilled listen. Not as good to me as the previous two tracks but I can appreciate its inclusion here, and it's not bad at all. Love You To takes a more unconventional tone instrumentally here, and it's pretty cool, even if I don't really like how it sounds personally. Going into the record I wasn't sure how varied it would be sound-wise so this is appreciated. Here, There And Everywhere is a lot more like what I'd expect from the record thus far. Another chilled track, sort of in the same vein as Eleanor Rigby, and it's very pleasant. Part of me wishes some of these songs gave us more breathing room in terms of intros and outros, but it's not a huge problem. I don't like Yellow Submarine. The added noises are distracting, the panning is annoying, and the instrumental and chorus are boring. At least it fades out at the end though, addresses my concern brought up with the last track lol. She Said She Said was cool, back to the vocal harmonisations I've been loving so far but the track didn't do as much for me as some of the previous ones. Pretty middle-of-the-road, in comparison. Good Day Sunshine is nice and cheery. They did a good job of capturing the feeling of sunshine with the vibe. The panning isn't great here but I don't think it's too offensive, and the song itself's good so I can ignore it here. Love the piano here. I wasn't too sure about And Your Bird Can Sing initially but thought it could grow on me, but as it hit its stride it already grew on me lol. Very cool. The guitar solos on here really make it. For No One carries on the streak of songs I'm enjoying, just really nice. I smiled at the trumpet(?), and the vocals are smooth like butter, but again it ends too abruptly!!! I'm surprised Doctor Robert is the lowest streamed here. It wasn't anything crazy and I'm not sure if I'd revisit it, but it sounds fine, nothing's really 'wrong' with it and I'd certainly choose it over some other tracks here. I even quite liked some sections. I Want To Tell You kinda sounds a bit predictable after what's come before it, but honestly I don't think I mind. It's a great sounding song, doesn't outstay its welcome, has some infectious melodies, and that's enough for me. Got To Get You Into My Life is a really strong track, some vocal strength that hasn't yet been showed on the record yet, along with a great, booming instrumental backing. Very surprising considering how far down it was. What is going on in Tomorrow Never Knows, it wasn't all that even to start with and then the weird experimental sounds are just off-putting. Ruined what would've been a decent end. FAVOURITES - Eleanor Rigby; Here There And Everywhere; Good Day Sunshine; And Your Bird Can Sing; For No One LEAST FAVOURITES - Love You To; Yellow Submarine; Tomorrow Never Knows
Masterpiece. Incredible from front to back. An iconic, highly influential, appropriately loved album. When reviewing the songs I found myself repeating that I love the vocals, so I'll just mention it here instead. The Beatles have good voices, no surprise here. I didn't mention it next to most of the songs but the writing here is really good. Taxman - Great guitar, vocals, drums, general theme is fun as hell too. Eleanor Rigby - Paul's vocals (and the vocals in general) are nice. It's been a while since I listened to this song, I love the violins, the whole piece is super effective. I'm Only Sleeping - really like the idea, among other things it points out that life is often too fast, no one does take a break nor feel like they even can due to the judgement that's passed on them. Good lyrics, and reversed guitars are very fitting here. Love You To - way less familiar with this song, but I quite like it, quite unique instrumentally and out there, George doing his thing. The idea meshes well with the previous in a slightly different way, the fact that life really does just fly by. Whilst not currently a favourite of mine I can see this growing on me. Here, There And Everywhere - loving the background vocals, good guitar too. Yellow Submarine - Ringo! Fun, what else is there to say. The water/sea sounds are a nice touch, and I like John's vocals coming in after the submarine sounds - which are interesting in their own right. She Said She Said - like the guitar a lot, actually pretty catchy too. The lyrics are stuck in my head, I especially love the line "she's making me feel like I've never been born", I feel like Lennon just has these unbelievable lyrical gems on occasion. Good Day Sunshine - a more typical theme from the group, a love song, quite nice, super upbeat. Really groovy piano, and good drums to go along, the chorus has this nice punch to it. And Your Bird Can Sing - John sounds so good here, and the guitar is great too. For No One - I adore this song, the lyrical content being so clear in meaning and sounding so good. I can't think of a song that portrays the losing of someone's love in such an effective way. Doctor Robert - pretty fun song, I always enjoy the characters they make up. Nice guitar. I Want To Tell You - enjoy the opening guitar, in general the song is certainly not the most stand out thing, but solid idea and good execution. Got To Get You Into My Life - the horns are so good. Great energy on this track and in the vocals, good guitar (surprise surprise) Tomorrow Never Knows - nice drums, loving the more out there sounds and the way they handle the vocals here. The piano at the end is cool too. I think this is a fitting note to end on, being the most experimental and really representing their shift to psychedelic music. Favourites - Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I'm Only Sleeping, "Here, There And Everywhere", She Said She Said, Good Day Sunshine, And Your Bird Can Sing, For No One, Got To Get You Into My Life, Tomorrow Never Knows The cover art is very cool too, and all of this in 1966, wow.
Abbey Road was better Favourite song: Here, there and everywhere
It was alright not my cup of tea, though did find a song that I remember listening to and didnt know it was in the album.
WE UP I used to really not like the Beatles...? My best friend developed a hyper fixation on them, and gradually I was introduced to more songs from them. I actually really like them! I LOVE the art done for this album. Klaus Voorman has an amazing style. I really really love it
didn’t pay nearly as much attention to this one as i should’ve when i was a kid.. it’s just so freaking good. also in their top 3 album covers for me i think highlights: taxman; eleanor rigby; here, there and everywhere; for no one
taxman - has a grrovy bassline but the arrangement feels empty and i dislike the politics of the song eleanor rigby - has a beautifully lush string arrangement and strong Y7 music vibes i'm only sleeping - is one of my favorites on the album from the guitar chords with the melodies and harmony to the little bass interludes love you to - george harrison sitar speedrun here there and everywhere - tasteful modulations throughout, eargasmic polyphonic texture yellow submarine - it's a motherfuckin yellow submarine m8 what more can you want she said she said - weezer's holiday jumpscare -> 60s psychadelia. i like the drumming quite a bit good day sunshine - i really like the piano in the intro and your bird can sing - the guitar arrangement is wonderful, particularly in the chorus with the almost onett theme sounding descending phrase for no one - classic beatles strong songwriting with a horn! the chorus is very comforting feeling almost. the piano also provides nice contrast against the bassline dr robert - the most eh song on the album, the harmonium section is kind of cool i want to tell you - semitone speedrun got to get you in my life - the horn lines are very catchy, not particularly noteworthy tomorrow never knows - this one is actually quite cool in terms of the drumming and droning; i think this is one of the most interesting on the album overall i think the songwriting is quite very good in terms of the very creative choices made in chord choices, arrangements and melodies but very few songs really feel like they speak to me personally. I like the experimental nature of some of the tracks but i doubt i'll be listening to it tons favorite song: tied between i'm only sleeping and and your bird can sing most interesting track: tomorrow never knows craft rating: 8/10 emotional resonance rating: 4/10
It’s giving lullaby. I liked Eleanor Rigby. Not for me I fear.
Listened to this a bunch over the years (as with every beatles album) and of course this is one of the greatest albums ever made. I suppose this is the first album I've gotten that I've listened to a bunch and know all the songs by heart. All in all, its great. Never had a problem with Good Day Sunshine or any other song on the album. It's very well put together and Tomorrow Never Knows is still insane for its time.
Glorious
First off, I have never met someone who says "The Beatles are overrated" who has a good taste in music. This is probably the most important album in modern music. This album really did shape all future music. However, I don't even think it is close to being my favorite Bealtes' album. If I had to rank my top 5 without putting much thought into it it would be something like: 1. Abbey Road 2. Sgt. Pepper 3. White Album 4. Magical Mystery Tour 5. Revolver I think my biggest problem with this album is their are a few songs in the middle that are a little weak when compared to the rest of their work. I still like the songs, just not as much. Mid 5.
"People that don't like The Beatles are fucking idiots." - Noel Gallagher 5
Really good album, couple of hits that I'd heard of, Eleanor Rigby and Yellow Submarine, but the rest of the songs were equally enjoyable.
Their best album by far.
Liked it
Stoked to get a Beatles album! I admit, I am a lifelong, hardcore Beatles fan, so this is a 5 before I even listen. (I last listened to Revolver a few months ago.) it's not my favorite Beatles album (and I definitely take issue with folks in the camp of this is their best). I would probably rank it as my sixth favorite.:) Eleanor Rigby is just phenomenally written. For No One is beautifully sad. I love the sitars. The evolution from arriving in the States in early '64, playing their gorgeous, upbeat She Loves You and I Saw Her Standing There to the completely different styles and orchestrations on Revolver--to have accomplished that in a couple of years blows my mind. Five stars. Always happy to listen front to back. <3
Honestly, if this doesn't deserve 5 stars, which album does?
A great record!
You took this off the list whilst retaining 4 albums of risible shite from The Beastie Boys. I have no words.
6/10… psychedelic - classic rock
Now you're talking. Great music has it should be and everlasting. Great album.
My favorite Beatles album, I just think this one has the strongest set of songs. A true classic
They really meant business with this one.
The petals of psychedelic rock opening onto the history of music. This might be one of the most obvious 5 stars on this list.
What more can you say about an album like this. Absolute classic. Kicks off with Taxman, amazing. Elanor Rigby, incredible. I'm Only Sleeping, great. There are songs I never think of, but then when I put them on, I remember how great they are. For No One, a former favourite Beatles song for myself. The little instrumental break is perfect. Doctor Robert, great, great harmonies
Overhyped of course but I’m not gonna ding them a star because of it. It’s good. I think I liked abbey road more though tbh
Banger
The best Beatles album, probably. Before they got too weird, but after they were done singing about holding hands and stuff. Revolver is all killer no filler, man. Which is incredible when you think about it, because a big reason this album is one you need to hear before you die is because of the technical innovations and breakthroughs it accomplished. But even out of context, not experiencing any of that first hand, the songs here are amazing. And with a career full of closing out albums with certified bangers, "Tomorrow Never Knows" might be the best album closer of all time. FIVE STARS
7/10 I've read a lot of rankings placing Revolver as their best work. To me it is far from that. It's not a bad album but to me it feels like a mixture of their previous pop albums and their more experimental work yet to come. Also, 'Yellow Submarine' might be their worst song ever...
It's the Beatles. Definitely feels like that time period. Some good songs. Some I liked less
Ett bra the Beatles album helt enkelt. Catchigt och inte för komplext för min smak
Nicht das beste Beatles album aber immernoch sau stark 4/5
My brother gifted me this CD when I was 13 or 14 and I've always been a big fan. There are some hits, but I really love the lesser known tracks on this album. Taxman, Here, there and everwhere are great. It's a solid album I put on quite frequently.
Huge leap forward. Revolutionary songs and productions. Perhaps the best example of what each member contributed to the overall band. Each song seems to define a genre in the future.
I had a colleague years ago who only listened to The Beatles. His theory was that they were the only band he ever needed due to their complexity and talent. Being a musicophile, I never got that. I mean, I liked the Beatles OK, but I didn’t get the hype. With this being my second Beatles album through the generator, I can safely say I get it now. Revolver is throughly enjoyable. It houses three of my favorite songs of all time. I love the production, the variety of instruments and sounds, and the way each Beatle’s personality shines through their individual contributions to the whole. The themes are simple, yet timeless. I can’t wait to delve into more of their albums.
Think this is my favourite Beatles album so far due to the sheer variety that's on display here. But it's not quite good enough for me to brand it with a 4 status for me.
Five beatles-adjacent albums in I fear I just don't get it. The music just doesn't connect with me. The yellow submarine feels like the opening tune to a kids cartoon. And while historically important, I am left slightly disappointed and confused.
Minus a star for Yellow Submarine because I'm a curmudgeon and I hate fun
These guys are going places
really good beatles album, gets a little too silly for me sometimes
Pre-listening thoughts: whenever people meet me for the first time a lot of them say “oh your name’s Elanor like Eleanor Roosevelt” but I wish more of them said like Eleanor Rigby 😔 Post/during listening thoughts: man Beatles just don’t miss. This is an incredible album all the way through. Listened twice and enjoyed it more the second time. Great balance of every member. Stunning instrumentals and some of my favorite lyricism by them. 9.5/10 DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: yes Fav tracks: Eleanor Rigby, Here There and Everywhere, And Your Bird Can Sing (literally such a good song. Underrated I feel), Got to Get You Into My Life Least fav tracks: Love You To
I’m a Beatles fanboy. So of course I loved this. One of the best! 5/5
It was okay.
Top 1
Great album, so psychedelic, so experimental. If it wasn’t for Yellow Submarine, this would have been a perfect album. Still, easy 5 stars.
Cet album changera la musique pour toujours ce qui mérite un 10/10. Personnellement, je préfère Abbey Road et je donnerais 9/10 à cet album (mais pas 8/10) ; très solide mais pas parfait (Love You To, pas mauvais mais elle casse le rythme). La meilleure chanson de l'album, Tomorrow Never Knows est TELLEMENT en avance sur son temps que s'en est quasiment ridicule. Sinon, Eleanor Rigby et For no One sont mes autres chansons préférées de l'album.
we all live in a yellow submarineeeeeeeeeeeee :33
One of their best.
Solid gold, every track 2-3mins of storytelling, catchy melodies and enough variety to avoid being formulaic
Probably my favourite beatles album, even ringos song is good.
John, I’m only sleeping
This was fine. I found a lot of it blended together.
I think it's really sweet that the band was cranking out hits like Eleanor Rigby and Ringo just plopped a little song on there about kicking it on a submarine with his buds
Great album
Can entirely see why this was regarded as ground breaking - it's experimental and really varied. Lots of musical and cultural influences. Some really good songs. Here there and everywhere - sweet and such a contrast to the sitar filled I'm Only Sleeping. Got to Get you into life is a really fun pop song - nice lyrics, brass band / jazz vibes, and the ol' guitar too.
Listened in the truck via YouTube music. 14 songs most around 2 minutes long. It’s the Beatles, it’s great.
Eleanor Rigby is such a fantastic song
here there and everywhere!!!!!!!!
So many great songs and still overshadowed by the rest.
Absolute classic, some really great Beatles songs that are more mature than the earliest boy band stuff but not too heady or dissonant. Tomorrow never knows isn’t great, but I love Taxman, Eleanor right, she said, and and your bird can sing
*My* perfect album would be a little rougher or edgier, I’m sure. But “Eleanor Rigby” and “Yellow Submarine” are just about enough for five full stars, eh? And there’s more good stuff here, too—including the swoon-worthy “Got to Get You into My Life.” So, so good.
Obra maestra. No es (para mí) uno de los 3 mejores de los Beatles pero aún así es una maravilla. Generacional.
This might be a perfect album to be honest, every song is so good and it even has its fair share of experimentation and use of the sitar with George’s eastern inspired influences. It’s also super influential of course and has super ahead of its time techniques with how they used recording techniques. It’s also a contender for my favourite Beatles record but it’s hard to say. Favourites: all of them but favourite favourites: Taxman, she said she said, good day sunshine, and your bird can sing, for no one and got to get you into my life. Overall, 10/10.
Menos elenor rigby las demás meh demasiada experimentación, eso sí muy moderno para la época asentando la base para próximos albums
I like the Beatles well enough. I have immense respect for the artists, the impact and more. But the music's impact on me is what I rate, and this gets dull.
Beatles truly ain’t my shit, only saved like 2 songs
Kinda good. Certain songs were repetitive with them repeating the main chorus, but it was a certain breath of fresh air for me in general. Plus this album had THE Yellow Submarine.
3/5
Great album but not my top Beatles one.
Perfection.
icónico
I usually find The Beatles' experimental work quite hit or miss. It's clear that not every chamber in this Revolver is a hit either. The album is all over the place. Nonetheless, there are a couple of good ones on here, including top tier Eleanor Rigby. Not their best throughout, but an enjoyable Beatles album.
Trying not to let my Beatles bias show, but I love this album. I love the artwork, even Yellow Submarine can’t sway my score.
Yellow submarine is a great song i love it
Easy 5, obvs… even taking into account that ‘Yellow Submarine’ doesn’t quite fit this album. I’ve always thought it was an odd addition to the track list. ‘Here, There and Everywhere’ was our wedding song 😍 🏝️
I enjoyed the interwoven sitar features. It broke the album up a little and added a little spice. The flow was a little scattered at times, but overall a good listen
# Playlist Track - For No One # Notes - Full of gems from start to finish. - Is it weird that Yellow Submarine is in this album? Feels weird to me. - I totally get the praise for the depiction of Eleanor Rigby. It is a GREAT song. Having said that, "For No One" is criminally underappreciated. It's a brutal depiction of heartbreak and being so trivially mundane makes it worse. - Totally recommend!
Hva skal man si?
I swore we’ve heard this one before. Oh wait that was the white album. This is as if somebody drew a bunch of boardwalk Beatles caricatures on the white album. Well joke’s on me, because the white album came out after this. Man the Beatles released a lot of stuff. They were only a band for like 10 years. Less? I’m not up on my trivia. I’m not up on reviews either as these have fallen way behind. Actually having to do ridiculous amounts of work really puts a strain on my life. I thought I was supposed to enjoy a mouse wiggling lifestyle until the bloat of this system crushes itself and the surviving few return to subsistence farming? Help me, my rockin’ scousers. Taxman - I swear I just heard a blues version of this. Who knows what the original is, or if I made that up. Maybe it occurred as a lucid dream. This is a good song. We’re off to a strong start. Eleanor Rigby - A famous song title that I feel like overshadows what the song actually is. That means I’ve never heard it. Decent song. I’m Only Sleeping - This is the kind of songwriting that seems to just pour out of Beatles album. Beautiful melodies, fascinating experimentation. A song that moody teenagers today wish they could write. Timeless. Love You To - To where??? Plz answer. Ehh I don’t care as much about this one as a song. I’m always a sucker for middle eastern instruments, but the lyrics and general melody aren’t really for me. Here, There And Everywhere - Man, this is pretty cheesy. Nice enough, but a little too sweet for me. Send it back, remove about two cups of sugar, and bring it back. Yellow Submarine - The perils of letting your drummer write a song. Was this a Ringo? I think so. I like the opening verses, but the chorus is infamously stupid. While you may think “hey, this guy writes at a fifth grade level, maybe he likes stupid things,” I say, that is a half truth. You figure out which half. Trick question, it’s both. I actually like this song. Fuck. She Said She Said - So modern sounding. We just listened to Radiohead, and this sounds like Radiohead except happy. Not a bad track, but I’m not exactly dipping into the inkwell for my letter home. Good Day Sunshine - Thisnis the song that Mr. Burns sang at the end of that alien episode. Good morning Starshine or whatever. Hell yeah. The song itself? Mid. Mid to abysmal. Somewhere in that elevator to hell. And Your Bird Can Sing - Are we talking English (country) meaning of “bird?” Like his girfriend? Or are we talking regular bird? God forbid we’re talking maritimes meaning of bird. That’s an entirely different song. This one is fine. For No One - A nice enough track. Can’t really dissect it further than that. Dr. Robert - Very old school rock song with the “modern” sensibilities that the Beatles were so good at supplying. Fun song. I Want to Tell You - Jeez I almost wrote I want to Yell at You. A Freudian slip. Well I actually like this album so far, but I guess not as much as I thought I would. Which is upsetting me. Got to Get You Into My Life - What I’ve got you’ve got to get it put in you. See fellas maybe we can change it to what I’d like is I’d like to hug and kiss you. I kind of hate this song. This has to be Paul. Too happy. Bad horns. Tomorrow Never Knows - This just feels so modern. I hate that I must conjure up their name so often, but bad things usually stick with me more. Here we go. This is what I think people think U2 sounds like. It is of course, not, but this is essentially good early 2000s late 90s alt written in the mid 60’s. Not what I expected. Revolver straddles a line between distinct experimentation and glittery, saccharine pop that evades description. Of course there is still plenty of influence worship throughout, as you would expect from a Beatles album. I liked this. Didn’t love it though. I wondered which revolver this would be. The gun that shoots me repeatedly in areas that really only cause pain, or the vinyl record gently revolving on the turntable, thrilling me with jt’s each and every skip. In the end, it kind of turned out to be a revolving door. A amusing day brightener in the world of bog standard doors, but nothing I’ll cherish forever. 3.5 HIGHLIGHTS: I’m Only Sleeping, Yellow Submarine, Dr. Robert, Tomorrow Never Knows
~The Beatles~ Great record - Paul Rudd
Taxman- 4/10 repetitive, message isn't as profound as they probably thought it was Eleanor Rigby- 8/10 classic I'm only sleeping- 3/10 Like the funky sound not much else Love you to- 2/10 Sitar is dumb. Here, there and everywhere- 10/10 beautiful Yellow Submarine- 8/10 She said she said- 6/10 Solid guitar Good day sunshine- 2/10 bad And your bird can sing- 4/10 For no one- 7/10 Doctor robert- 9/10 relistenable I want to tell you- 6/10 meh Got to get you into my life- 8/10 genuinely solid Tomorrow never knows- 2/10 fucked up tape sound doesn't work 14 tracks 34 minutes Average rating = 5.64
Great timeless tunes. Slick production. Great variety of styles. Individual inputs and strengths obvious. Classic
Incredible album of course… grows on me More every time I listen, and the same goes for the Beatles in general. I’m Only Sleeping one of the most beautiful songs ever, I wept listening to it
I wish that my ironic distaste of the Beatles never became genuine
Revolver and Abbey Road have always been my favs into adulthood with these guys... just kinda back to back bangers and with every beatles album i just have such incredible nostalgia for these songs... i suppose I'll love them for the rest of my life...
Trying not to let my Beatles bias show, but I love this album. I love the artwork, even Yellow Submarine can’t sway my score.
Legendary album.
Якщо на Rubber Soul (1965) гурт тільки починав натякати на психоделічні експерименти, то цей альбом уже повноправно можна назвати psychedelic-pop. У цей час Леннон експериментував із ЛСД, що впливало на його творчі ідеї, а гурт загалом почав потроху розвалюватися зсередини. Саме на цьому альбомі Бітли перетворилися на виключно студійний гурт і максимально зосередилися на написанні пісень. Вони багато експериментували з різними інструментами та темами, створюючи "щільну" за звучанням, досі небачену роботу. Деякі треки, як-от Tomorrow Never Knows (що відтворювала досвід вживання) або Eleanor Rigby, яка взагалі була "мозковиносною" баладою про самотність звичайних людей, досі відчуваються як ті, що прийшли до нас з іншого часу. Це вже не був той "легенький" і наївний, оптимістичний поп про любов. Тепер це складна, цілісна робота, що повноцінно відображала в собі дух того часу. На ньому, як завжди, вигадливі аранжування Пола стали ще більш вишуканими, а "дивацтво" Джона під впливом "речовин" досягло нового рівня (Tomorrow Never Knows, наприклад, надихалася Тибетською книгою мертвих). Об'єднавшись в єдине ціле, ці дві "сили", на мою думку, і роблять Revolver найбільш інноваційним альбомом The Beatles та моїм улюбленим у їхній творчості. Але якщо говорити про "психоделічні ідеї", які він заклав, то повноцінний розвиток вони вже безумовно отримають на Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967).
Eclectic yet cohesive
Top. Einige Stücke, die ich nicht so kenne und Yellow Submarine und Eleanor Rigby
I had to take two listens to really form an opinion on this album, but that may be partially due to the fact that my first listen was while I was on the loud-ass work bus. This certainly isn’t my favourite album by The Beatles, but it’s still great. Taxman is a fun intro and does well at introducing the sound they’re going for in this album. The switch in tone between the first and second track is interesting, but it doesn’t lose cohesion. Eleanor Rigby is a classic that cannot be overlooked, however they’re all arguably classics in their own right, and it seems to set a more mellow tone for the rest of the album, until Doctor Robert, then returns afterwards. Tomorrow Never Knows is a great closing track and I love the sort of “wild” use of instrumentals like the violin that they go with at certain points, it feels like a build up of everything else in the album, which is really emphasized by their repetition of “of the beginning” at the end of the track. While I do wish the album was slightly longer, I do agree with the sentiment that it would grow repetitive if it was extended by much longer. Favourite track: She Said She Said Franz Kafka would be horrified to know a group of bugs could make such good music as his biggest fear is becoming a cockroach
Favorite song: I'm Only Sleeping This is a very good album. I can't believe how short it is when I finished my first thought was "is that it". This might be my favorite Beatles album. It definitely needed more than one listen. Taxman is a fun first track and sets the tone for the album perfectly. It can be a little repetitive but that doesn't really take away from the song for me. Eleanor Rigby is a classic. Those strings are beautiful and add huge depth and feeling to the song. I wish the vocals were louder in the verses though. I'm only sleeping is amazing the vocals create a perfect feeling of peace and the switches between verses are masterfully done. I like the lyrics too, they're fun and match the music perfectly. I wasn't sure what to expect when I Love You Too first started playing given the very different instrumentation than I'm used to from the Beatles. They create a fun/bouncy and distinct sound to the song. It feels like something to move/dance to. I don't know what the horn-like sound in the background is but I like it. They build tension perfectly in the pauses. Here, there, and everywhere is a perfect track to calm the album back down after the previous one. The softness when he's talking about "her" is perfect and the song, lyrics included, very clearly show how much he loves "her". It brings me an odd amount of peace to listen to. Yellow Submarine is another classic one. It's a really good song and the feeling they were going for is again created effectively. I really like the use of sound effects in this one. I love the first line of she said she said. Otherwise, it's a good song and I don't have anything else to say. (Apparently McCartney walked out of the recording session for this song) I love the piano in good day sunshine. I love that the sun burns his feet. Another fantastic one. I need to wake my sister up with this. And your bird can see is probably one of the less memorable tracks of this album. It's still good but it doesn't feel like it brings anything particularly unique or that hasn't been done already in the album. For no one is definitely the end of something on the album. It's the shift, the girl he's talked about the whole album is suddenly gone. The sad trumpet is perfect to add a little something to it and avoid feeling monotonous. Doctor Robert feels like a joke song almost after most of the album with a feeling and lyrical content similar to Taxman. Almost like they went, too much feeling, we need a non feeling track after that last one. I like it but it feels like it should be somewhere else in the album or a B-side. I want to tell you feels like a logical progression to For No One. "It's not me it's my mind" is a bold thing to say. The denial and unawareness in the songs lyrics along with the undying longing is perfect. Got to get you into my life has perfect vocals and the beginning feels powerful. I love the way they build the song. I like the seagull like sound effect in Tomorrow never knows. This feels like the Beatles when they got really high. There needed to be some way to end to end the album and I guess this experimental chaos was good enough. I think the short length of each track and the album itself is really good because it avoids the problem of it getting boring or repetitive.
Within the first 4 songs, there is more variety and experimentation that many artists have across multiple albums. Insane to think what this would have been like to experience upon release.
Used to listen to this at the cafe I worked at in college - love!!!
Don't like the beatles
You know what's crazy? "She Said She Said" is a damn near perfect psychedelic pop song. It would be a highlight of any other pop album. Here it's, like, the eighth best song. Crazy, like I said.
I love The Beatles and Revolver is in my top 5. This era of The Beatles is probably my favourite and it really shows their transformation from poppy rock boy band to the experimental geniuses they would become. Some of the stuff on here is insanely revolutionary for its time and it’s all so good.
39/1001. First, and I'm sure not the last, Beatles album hear. And also this happens to be one of my favourites, familiar from my childhood, as mum lived through the Beatle-craze and owned two or three Beatle records (music was expensive back then!). And since they got rid of their record player I got to keep the vinyls :) btw, my grandparents hated "this trash" at that time, but I think they later changed their minds after hearing me listen to heavy metal ;) Anyway, another album full of classic songs only, and the sonic and production experimentation and eastern influences never feel additive. Somehow I think if the hippy movement had ever happened without this album. Taxman and I want to tell you also showcase Harrison's rising talent as a songwriter, which for whatever reason even Lennon & McCartney sometimes criticized (another Harrisong?). So all in all amazing album. Ok, I could live without Yellow Submarine, but for me this is Beatles at their bestles.
Almost a 5 but feels like it's missing something
Classic Beatles sound as they evolved to their next phase. And they are some of my favorite Beatles tunes.
One of the best albums ever.
Not one of my favorite Beatles albums, there's some good tunes on here bit most of it kind of goes in on ear and out the other.
Classic Beatles, enjoyed a lot.
Does anything else need to be said about the Beatles?
High 4
Amazing all the way through, incredibly varied, never gets boring, every song is great. It does lack the conceptual cohesion of Sgt. Pepper but I like the type of music genre tapestry they got going on here. A few of these songs can be seen as patient zero for pop music tropes that would become recurring in the decades ahead, like a pop song back with just strings, a rock & roll songs with a horn section, weird tape music excursions, you name it. Key Tracks: Taxman Eleanor Rigby Here, There and Everywhere Yellow Submarine Good Day Sunshine For No One Got to Get You Into My Life Tomorrow Never Knows
This band is much better than Incubus, despite not having a guy who just does turntable scratching.
Love
Classic album that I had never listened to
THE GOAT!!
classic joder, antes hasta las tocaba con el trombón
SO SO SO GOOD
p84. 1966. 5 stars. Flawless. Arguably their best album.
375/1001 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
My favorite album from this journey so far!
The Beatles are in a class of their own and this album deserves a place at the top of any "best albums" list. The only critique I could offer is that it is slightly less cohesive than some of their other albums - I feel like Taxman, Yellow Submarine and Doctor Robert almost sound like they could be from a different era than the rest of the album. The flip side of that though is that your get this incredibly diverse journey of sounds, melodies and themes from beginning of album to the end.
It’s wild that an album this good is only my 5th or 6th favourite Beatles album
perfekcija
Najbolji bitlsi?
i liked that one song about sleeping
One of my favourite Beatles albums, further branching out of their Merseybeat sound, a massive influence on rock music.
An iconic album from one of the most influential bands of all time. Not their best, but pretty damn good.
Can't be giving 5 stars to an album with Yellow Submarine on it.
ovo je kao vrh vrhova? ne kužim. otvara super pjesma (taxman), a ostale su lošije, osim možda predzadnje (got to get you into my life). ne sviđa mi se lenonov glas. sve u svemu, nije loše, al da sam pao na guzicu, bome nisam. ne razumijem nabrijanost
The best Beatles album! Pretty much hit after hit on here (except doctor robert) and has that Beatles magic throughout. 10/10
look at all the lonely people
Geil
Nicht mein favorite Beatles Album. Und m. M. nach ist Yellow Submarine ein Quatschsong. Aber immer noch die Beatles, was willste machen
Favorites: Eleanor Rigby; Here, There and Everywhere; For No One One of those records that I cannot imagine much of my life without. Every single song is memorable and a classic, even the more weaker tracks. I’ll always hold a special place in my heart for it.
Some great songs on here obviously, but everyone except Ringo ("Yellow Submarine" is a good song, I don't care what everyone says!) also kinda has a dud too. Sorry, but you can't convince me that "Good Day Sunshine" and "Doctor Robert" aren't phoned in to pad the track list a bit! I go back and forth on if I like "Love You To" or not; right now the answer is no, but sometimes I actually really enjoy it! In any case, even in situations where I think it's a bit of a bust, this is still George's breakout album, with "Taxman" and "I Want to Tell You" both being highlights for me. And then there's "Tomorrow Never Knows", which everyone except me seems to think is an all-time classic. I've always hated it; it's tuneless experimentation for the sake of experimentation. I'm not totally opposed to experimentation for its own sake, but the underlying song has to be good first! But obviously, I can't rate the album with "Eleanor Rigby", "I'm Only Sleeping", "Here, There and Everywhere", and "She Said She Said" in addition to the aforementioned songs i really like anything less than a 4. I'm just contrarian, I'm not stupid!
This was good. Maybe my favourite beatles album after 'the best of'.
I like this, except Yellow Submarine which gave me horrendous flash backs to working in game when people would only ever play thst on Beatles Rockband. 3.5 not sure if I’ll round up or down (as if that really matters)
Yellow Submarine was a big part of my childhood, weirdly.
Overraskende masete
A band transitioning from great to GREAT. The music swells and is all over the place but it works.
This was fine, but a lot of the songs felt the same. Also, why did they do Yellow Submarine on this and then do another full album?
Klaus is under John’s nose.
Very nice.
Hell nah I ain’t listening to the Beatles
When "Revolver" was released, the world got a taste of the Beatles' true potential. Many successful experiments followed this album. I'm one of the people who enjoyed "Revolver". There are many fun songs, like "Yellow Submarine" and "Tomorrow Never Knows". I think this album is my 4th favourite Beatles record. 4 stars for "Revolver"

One of The great albums of all time. Revolver is the point where the Beatles have truly refined the art. From the very start this album delivers. The perfect mix of of more upbeat songs like taxman and Good Day Sunshine to the sweeping beauty of Eleanor Rigby and For No One. Tomorrow Never Knows with its loops etc is so far ahead of it’s time whilst delivering a great song. Got To Get You Into My Life is a truly underrated classic. There is nothing to dislike on this album, even the Ringo track is Yellow Submarine!
Even as a firm believer that The Beatles are hugely overrated, I quite liked this - it starts strong, with “Taxman” and “Eleanor Rigby” already on my (very, very short) list of songs by The Beatles I actually like. I didn’t even mind the sitar of “Love You To” (though do dislike the poor grammar), even after listening to Ravi Shankar earlier in this generator and despising it. However, by the time Ringo starts clapping away about his yellow submarine, the wheels had come off for me and, once more, I had started to wonder just what all the fuss is about.
I mean, it's just a classic. I could do without the sita (Ravi Shankar's attempt to educate me on the beauty of the sitar in a previous album pick has clearly failed) but I love everything else. Yes, including Yellow Submarine. From The Beatles getting political on Taxman to apparently inventing electronic dance music on Tomorrow Never Knows, it's a collection of fantastic songs. I sometimes struggle to get through a whole album pick when the album generator is feeling mean, but I listened to this at least 4 times. The sitar was not enough to knock this down a star, so a well deserved 5/5
Putting aside the at the time, "avant-garde" production, the Brahmaputra Eastern influence, the forward-thinking instrumentation, and the discovery of ...weed you're left with... not much really. It's an above-average album when you see what people put out even today, but it's not an album that stands the test of time as much as people would make you believe. When they actually try to write songs, they're amazing. When not, they're just... meh. Rating is subject to change though. Listen to: Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I'm Only Sleeping, She Said She Said, For No One, Dr. Robert, I Want to Tell You, Got to Get You Into My Life, and Tomorrow Never Knows for a good experience, and skip the sunshine pop.
Fantastic album with so many classic tracks. This group really pushed the boundaries and influenced so many future musicians and producers.
Incredible album. Not my favorite, but so good.
Listening to this transported me to my 13 year old self - exploring music and on my Walkman in a car, then a bus and onto a ferry on a trip to La Paz Mexico - I remember wishing I could live in a submarine. What would the world be without this sound!?!
what are your twenties for if not experimenting with drugs and hare krishna?
Some of their best.
Good album. Iconic tracks.
She saaiiid I know what it’s like to be dead. Great album and thanks to Ravi Shankar and Doctor Robert for influencing the evolving sound of the Beatles during this era.
Revolver is the moment The Beatles stopped chasing the charts and started chasing their own artistic vision. It’s not just another pop album, it’s a psychedelic explosion, a turning point that redefined what music could be. With Revolver, The Beatles dove deep into studio experimentation, and emotional depth, and they mostly struck gold. Haunting strings of “Eleanor Rigby” to the dreamy harmonies of “Here, There and Everywhere”, and the guitar-driven swagger of “And Your Bird Can Sing”, this album is packed with highlights. But for me, the crown jewel is “For No One”, a track I’d argue is the most underrated in The Beatles’ entire catalogue. McCartney crafts a quiet heartbreak masterpiece—elegant, restrained, and devastating. “And in her eyes, you see nothing / No sign of love behind the tears” might be the coldest line he’s ever written. And that French horn solo? Pure melancholy. It’s a song that says more in two minutes than most breakup albums do in 40. Revolver is also where the band’s sonic curiosity truly took off. Zany instruments, backwards guitars, tape loops, Indian ragas—everything is on the table. Sometimes it gets weird, and sure, a couple of tracks might feel slightly out of touch, but that’s part of the charm. It's a band pushing themselves, and us, into strange and beautiful places. Out of their many classics, Revolver feels the most complete. Not because it’s flawless, but because it’s fearless.
I get it, it was groundbreaking and massively influential and the generation that made 'Surfin Bird' a hit were lucky to be there. But that counts for very little towards the listening experience when you're hearing it first in 2025, by which time we've had 50+ years of development and experimentation by bands much less heavily commercialized and most importantly not fronted by John Lennon, who may be the most insincere and grating frontman ever. As an aside some of the reviews on these Beatles albums are deranged: so moist and overwritten that it almost feels like you're interrupting an intimate moment by reading them. Move on, people!
I had the good fortune to listen to Revolver for the first time after hearing Rubber Soul (also for the first time) a couple of weeks ago. The latter didn’t resonate with me at all. The Beatles’ outsized reputation completely obscured what I found to be an aggressively “okay” record. But with Revolver, I think I’m starting to understand a bit of the endless praise heaped upon the Beatles. I listened to this record in a group setting—explaining the mission of the 1001 list and walking friends through the seemingly impossible challenge of listening to, rating, and forming a fully developed opinion on an album each day for the next three-odd years. The group encouraged me to chuck on Revolver if I absolutely had to listen to it that day. We talked about the legacy of the Beatles, the contradictions in Lennon’s writing, the obvious influence of LSD on the sound, and even the occasional blandness—or that generic ‘60s’ sound—that sometimes crept into the tunes. But even in that setting—drink in hand, a wee bit bevved—some of these songs cut through the conversation and gave me pause. These songs: the craft, the writing, the sound profile—it’s all so completely different from everything that came before. In a week when the list churned out the Mamas and the Papas, it became that much easier to see how the Beatles were changing the game. Music no longer bound by the need to be replicated live opened the door to real innovation in the studio. That’s clear as crystal and should be recognised. And I realize I haven’t actually said a single thing I liked about any of these songs. They may hit differently in the cold light of day. But sharing the listening experience with others lifted this album in a way I’m not sure I’d have appreciated had I simply listened during my daily commute. Or could it just be that I listened to their music the way it’s supposed to be listened to? 🍻🍻🍻🍻 🥴
Revolver by The Beatles is about as good as an album can get. So much depth, even within an album where all but 1 song don't even reach the 3 minute mark. It's truly incredible what these 4 guys were able to do. This record is so awesome. It has so many absolute bangers, with songs such as Taxman, which is just so fun; to Eleanor Rigby, a sadder song; to FREAKING YELLOW SUBMARINE? Yellow Submarine is the first Beatles' song I remember ever hearing, and it's still a banger in the decade+ I heard it for the first time. So many happy songs on this beautiful album, such as Love You To and Good Day Sunshine. This album is truly so good, that's all I can really say. It's not even my favourite album from The Beatles alone, if that's any indication as to how much I and so many other people love The Beatles. Obviously, I have bias, but you're not gonna find a better 35 minute album anywhere else. Revolver, by The Beatles, 10/10. Masterpiece.
Forget 1001 Albums, this is in the Top 3 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. It is probably THE top album. First: We wouldn’t have a list of “albums” apart from the Beatles. One of the myriad of ways they shaped music was to produce albums versus singles, and to make them monumental. Second: The Beatles were light years ahead of their contemporaries musically, conceptually, philosophically, experimentally, and technically. Third: Perhaps burying the lead here, this album just sounds GREAT through and through. And it still sounds great and has tremendous impact almost 60 years later. There are likely those who want to be contrarian and dismiss the Beatles. They do so to their own diminishment. By the way: Three songs by George on this album (versus the typical one or two). All fantastic. Taxman, Love You To, and I Want to Tell You. 5/5 doesn’t tell the whole story…
It is hard to talk about how good the Beatles are and feel like any kind of justice has been done. I personally have argued that this is their best, but I am never sure. All I can say is that this album is a 5/5 with unflinching confidence. Right alongside almost every single Beatle album ever produced (Magical Mystery Tour and Let it Be slightly faltering only because they weren't official albums but pieces of different projects). Great Great Great album! I had been on a Beatles run through lately so I have had a recent listen. Still shaken by Tomorrow Never Knows, Eleanor Rigby, For No One, She Said, She Said... and every song on the album. If you're inclined, go ahead and add Paperback Writer and Rain to the album. You won't be sad about it.
Sensational. This album changes music forever. I
Clearly the best Beatles album, if you ask me. Full of creativity, boldness, and musical playfulness. Each song has its own character, yet it all fits together as one cohesive piece. From the mournful strings of Eleanor Rigby to the psychedelic explosion of Tomorrow Never Knows – this is The Beatles at their most inventive and fascinating. An album you can listen to again and again and still discover new layers. A masterpiece.
My mom's favorite album of all time. Definitely way up there for me, but my favorite Beatles album is Rubber Soul.
Another five star album, absolutely beautiful. A lot of experimentation coming out from a band like this, it was really nice to get to go back and listen to it again. I didn’t care for it for the longest time, but really is beautiful, the transitions, the guitar work on some of the heavier songs, the theme in the Indian influence. I even appreciate the transition from some existential songs to yellow submarine, back to existentialism. Now again, it’s up there with one of my all-time favorites, it wasn’t super high with me before.
Legendary album from the GOATs. No surprise it's bangers only here. Truly superb listening experience. 8.7/10
One of the best albums of all time. Innovative, diverse and enjoyable. Only criticism is that it's not longer.
SPEAKING OF, 2 Beatles albums in a row. A super diverse album but perhaps loses some of its coherence in that. Flashes of old and new Beatles but to me fees largely transitional. 4 stars for the quality of the songs. One lost star for coherence.
Acc really good, werent expecting that from this to be honest
Sorry ass. Treffer ikke helt. Flere 4*-låter her, men ikke nok.
