4 stars This is favorite Beatles album, probably due to the fact that it is the first album on which the band really begins to flirt with psychedelia (and, coincidently, also LSD). On Revolver, The Beatles finally finish the step, which they began to take with Rubber Soul, away from their early Merseybeat sound, unfolding the intelligent psychedelic pop/rock that was to influence the rest of their career together, and this experimentation, combined with the great songs and melodies found on this album, makes this one of the greatest pop albums of all time.

No weak tracks, but the opener, "Taxman", stands out as my personal favorite.

4/5 stars, as I wouldn't call it a masterpiece when it comes to progressive music, but definitely an album worth owning.
