REVOLVER

After the masterpiece "Rubber Soul" that was a transition album, "Revolver" defenitely launched the new Beatles sound full with psychedelic rock cool guitars riffs and interesting expriments. It was one of the greatest 60's albums and perhaps even of all time.

Harrison's "Taxman" starts this album and it's clearly a psychedelic song in the late 60's spirit. The guitar solo here is great. "Eleanor Rigby" follows and it's a true classic about the lonely girl eleanor and her sad ending. Apart from being a wonderful sing that even the great Ray Charles covered, it also got a impressing orchestra backing them up with violins and cellos, Something you wouldn't have heard 1 year earlier. "I'm Only Sleeping" is a wondeful Lennon ballad, perhaps one of his all time best. "Love You too" from Harrison was the first song where the Beatles discovered the Indian sound, it's also their best indian inspired song with a really addictive sound. "Here There and Everywhere" is Paul's ballad contribution here, a very fine song aswell. Yellow Submarine from Ringo doesn't need any further presentation. "She Said, She Said" is yet another exprimental song, later bands like Oasis started off with music influented by this.

"Good Day Sunshine" is a typical Paul song, we will hear many of simular songs on latter albums. "And Your Bird Can Sing" is a great emotional song with cool riffs and hook in the modern rock sound. "For No One", yet another good midtempo Paul song, a french horn is also used here. "Doctor Rober" from Lennon is wonderful, both the sound and the song. Harrison continues with "I Want To Tell You" that also is modern rock. "Got To Get You Into My Life" is one of the best song here though, it's somehow soulish with a orchestra playing trumpets and saxophones, something we often saw R&B artist do in the 60's. It's one of the best songs from Paul ever released. The last song here is just too odd, it's called "Tomorrow Never Knows" and it's just very phychedelic with a bunch of diffrent instruments used and sounds of shouts in the back.

Overall, this is another masterpiece, before it's time. It influented so many other artists later on and was the final result of what the Beatles started on "Rubber Soul". Both albums should belong to anyone's music collection, not only one of the best beatles albums, but also of all time.
