I bought this after having already owned Rubber Soul and Sgt. Pepper and to be honest, I was dissapointed.
Its a very good album and I would recomend owning it, but it cant compete with Rubber Soul or any other later Beatles album for that matter.
The best songs are the social commentaries of Taxman and Elenor Rigby, followed by the soul-tortured For No One and the bizzare dream Tomarrow Never Knows.

Buy it, but please dont over-hype it.

Love it love it love it. My favorite Lennon songs are on here, the UK version of this album Revolver, I'm Only Sleeping, love the backward guitar. Tomorrow Never Knows best all time song by the Beatles, the looping, the insanity, everything, elements are definitely here. George becoming Indian here Love You To, love sitars. Paul's Eleanor Rigby, weird, perfect. Pure psychedellic options all over this album. Including a children song Yellow Submarine, sung by Ringo. My all time favorite Beatle album, and will always LOVE IT.

I said it before and I'll say it again: The Beatles were, and still are, the best band that ever walked the earth. Since their big break around 1963, the fab four never hit and missed. Each album they made was hailed as their best work. And after 8 years and somewhere around 13 albums, give or take, it's really hard to point out their best album. Actually, it's impossible.

However, one thing is for sure and that is that their 1966 album Revolver symbolized a clear transitional point for the boys from balladeering teenyboppers to mature and serious musical artists.

Revolver, which follows in the footsteps of previous album Rubber Soul, comes fully loaded with songs that speak little or nothing about love and dabbles into topics never before discussed by any other band, The Beatles included; take Harrison's funny Taxman, McCartney's social commentary take on Eleanor Rigby (a subliminal response to Lennon's excellent Nowhere Man from Rubber Soul), Lennon's ode to the man who introduced LSD to him and the boys Doctor Robert, the highly experimental Tomorrow Never Knows and She Said She Said (in which heavy drug use triggered the writing of both), and I'm Only Sleeping, a song about laziness. On the other hand, The Beatles return to old form on songs like Lennon's witty And Your Bird Can Sing, McCartney's beautiful Here There And Everywhere and For No One, and rock poppin' Got To Get You Into My Life and Good Day Sunshine, while Ringo gives his voice on the classic children song Yellow Submarine (which would go on to inspire an animated film with the same title starring the boys).
