Revolver is one of three most significant rock albums ever released, U.S. or U.K. version. Revolver took the precise details of production, writing, performance, and creativity light-years beyond anything up to that point in time. Although preceding Sgt. Peppers, this album established a foundation in the music world upon which future music throughout the industry was built. In fact, listen closely and you will hear early hints of Sgt. Peppers. It is truly a masterpiece, and one that has yet to be duplicated. Its songs are darker and more metallic than most of those on Rubber Soul. She Said She Said is just plain crazy and dizzying. Tomorrow Never Knows could be the most tripped-out song the Beatles recorded, yet it never gets old. 'Heady' stuff! Taxman is one of George's best, as is I Want to Tell You. Yellow Submarine has a much different feel to it on this album than in the movie, which would make it seem more acid meets toytown. For No one is a great, underrated tune that still gets no radio play. A turning point in the Beatles' music between Beatlemania and the psychedelia of Sgt. Pepper.
