Revolver
5 stars This is a prime example of what progressive pop rock should be from I Want You to the hidden track Her Majesty. The first side is basically pop rock with the double sided smash of Something/ Come Together being the standouts. The Progressive side starts with the avant hard rock blues of I Want You She's Heavy with the unexpected ending. Here Comes the Sun has mixed meters in the middle section with an early use of synthesizer. Because is a classical influenced song with one of there best vocal harmonies.

You Never Can Give Me Your Money basically starts medley one the song is a 4 part song a prog feature, with many guitar tones and great vocal harmonies, then the Sun King fades in sounding a lot like Pink Floyd. After She Comes through The Bathroom Window starts medley two with the Symphonic rock of Golden Slumbers then combining it with hard rock in Carry That Weight and The End. The final track is a hidden track another strong prog feature in Her Majesty the song ends abruptly like side one and I don't know if a rock album before this ended two sides this way.

Revolver | 5/5 |
