REVOLVER

This awesome album by the Beatles (from a prog fan's point of view) represents the final step towards the band's sound evolution to a more complex, rich, and more mature form in terms of recording, performing, and songwriting. I think that is what defines this album as such a cornerstone for the Beatles. Even though the music before this album is still wonderful and among the best songs ever written, I personally enjoy the more "elaborate" sound that started to show up in Rubber Soul and up to Abbey Road. Excepting "Yellow Submarine" I think every song in this album is a classic worthy of the Beatles. Even though I totally love this album, I don't think it deserves a 5 star, so I'm going with a 4.5 rounded to 4 :D
