From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

The Beatles are the act most responsilble from turning rock away from it's roots. This album is one of the biggest reasons why. Here are my highlights.

1. Taxman- You have the Hendrix chord distored before Hendrix was out. Mix the funky bass line with the highly distorted Indian style guitar solo. 2. Love You Too- Rock meets world music fusion. The use of exotic microtones. 3. I'm only Sleeping- Backward guitars. Indian sounding detuned guitars. 4. Eleanor Rigby- Music without rock instruments. 5. She Said She Said- Acid Rock with sections in contrasting meters 6. And Your Bird Can Sing- Twin unison guitars. 7. Tomorrow Never Knows- The song is the ultimate fusion pop song. Indian, Avant and Music Concrete and Early psychedelic rock. Two chord drone song that is a modal tune.
