Music : Revolverby: The Beatles
Disc 1:
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: There are only three stories worth knowing from the last 2,000 years of history: the life of Mohammed, the life of Jesus and the career of The Beatles. They invented all music ever. John was the best one; but Paul is--despite the knighthood and everything--still the most under-rated songwriter of the 20th century. This is the album with 'Eleanor Rigby', 'Here, There and Everywhere', 'For No One', 'I'm Only Sleeping' and 'Tomorrow Never Knows' on it--but then, you knew that anyway. We presume you have this album already and you're just getting a second copy in case you lose the first. --Caitlan Moran Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Getting Better All The TimeNowadays critical consensus often ranks this as The Beatles' best album, and indeed one of the best albums ever made. While it's only my second favourite by them personally (The White Album being first), this is still one of the greatest albums I own. Revolver is the point where The Beatles ceased to be a pop group and became something else entirely. Shortly after its release they gave up touring, having tired of performing to screaming fans when they'd much rather be holed away in a ... Read More Rating: - Hand me a pistol!!Help!!!

Rating: - Haunting and SoothingWith haunting melodies like "I'm Only Sleeping", "Eleanor Rigby", "Good Day Sunshine" and "She Said She Said" to name just a few, this is a very pleasing Beatles effort to listen to. If anyone needed proof that there's more to the Beatles than their hits, look no further. This album fluctuates effortlessly between Lennon & McCartney's vocal-centered pieces and George Harrison's much-loved sitar-driven melodies, and here I've only scraped the surface of the creativity that goes into the instrumentation. ... Read More Rating: - THE MOPTOPS TUNE IN, TURN ON AND TAKE OFFThough not as immediately accessible as the folk rock of Rubber Soul, 1966's Revolver is an album that had aged with consumate grace. Having largely shaken off the mop-top image of songs such as 'She Loves You' and 'Please Please Me', the hugely successful Beatles were now in a position where they could afford to spend months in the studio perfecting their music and craft. The decision to quit touring also allowed for greater experimentation as none of the new tracks had to be recreated in a live environment. ... Read More
