REVOLVER

On their previous record "Rubber Soul" the band was singing about girls and love, but on "Revolver" the band has grown up. This is a more adventerous album, especially the final song "Tomorrow Never Knows" an experimental, psychedelic song with tape loops, a backward guitar part, and lyrics borrowed from Timothy Leary's version of "The Tibetan Book Of The Dead".

Of course there are lots of radio friendly songs like the opener "Taxman" with Mr.Harrison complaining about being taxed to death. Some really good scorching guitar as well. "Eleanor Rigby" has long been a favourite of mine, a strings driven song. Some of my other favourites from this record are "Love To You", a Harrison song with sitar and tabla, very Indian sounding. "Here, There And Everywhere" is such a good ballad. "Good Day Sunshine" is a fun, upbeat tune. While "Doctor Robert" is a song that for some reason gets stuck in my head everytime I hear it.

The band's sound is starting to expand even more on this record, yes they are progressing ! A historic record.
