All the rules fell by the wayside  with Revolver, as the Beatles began exploring new sonic territory, lyrical  subjects, and styles of composition. It wasn't just Lennon and McCartney, either  -- Harrison staked out his own dark territory with the tightly wound, cynical  rocker "Taxman"; the jaunty yet dissonant "I Want to Tell You"; and "Love You  To," George's first and best foray into Indian music. Such explorations were  bold, yet they were eclipsed by Lennon's trippy kaleidoscopes of sound. His most  straightforward number was "Doctor Robert," an ode to his dealer, and things  just got stranger from there as he buried "And Your Bird Can Sing" in a maze of  multi-tracked guitars, gave Ringo a charmingly hallucinogenic slice of childhood  whimsy in "Yellow Submarine," and then capped it off with a triptych of bad  trips: the spiraling "She Said She Said"; the crawling, druggy "I'm Only  Sleeping"; and "Tomorrow Never Knows," a pure nightmare where John sang portions  of the Tibetan Book of the Dead into a suspended microphone over Ringo's  thundering, menacing drumbeats and layers of overdubbed, phased guitars and tape  loops. McCartney's experiments were formal, as he tried on every pop style from  chamber pop to soul, and when placed alongside Lennon's and Harrison's outright  experimentations, McCartney's songcraft becomes all the more impressive. The  biggest miracle of Revolver may be that the Beatles covered so much new  stylistic ground and executed it perfectly on one record, or it may be that all  of it holds together perfectly. Either way, its daring sonic adventures and  consistently stunning songcraft set the standard for what pop/rock could  achieve. Even after Sgt. Pepper, Revolver stands as the ultimate modern pop  album and it's still as emulated as it was upon its original release.
