"Revolver" is the Beatles at the top of their game including, if not especially, Lennon. The crunch of the guitars on 'She Said She Said' surpass anything that had been recorded to date, the harmonies on both the guitars and the vocals of 'And Your Bird Can Sing' still give me chills. 'I'm Only Sleeping' was also a sonic breakthrough as well as a very catchy song. 'Good Day Sunshine' is a song that you can't help but feel good after hearing. 'Taxman' was Harrison's best song to date. 'I Want To Tell You' was ahead of its time. Note that it not only was the opener in Harrison's 1989 Japan tour, but also the band's first song in the "Concert For George." Yes, Paul opted for a lot of George Martin's work on "Eleanor Rigby" and "Got To Get You Into My Life," but this is not a bad thing - it was pushing the barrier of what they had done so far. Harrison also opted for outside help on "Love You To," which in my opinion is one of the weaker moments on the album, but still serves to remind the listener of the era in which it was actually recorded. "Here There and Everywhere" is a beatiful ballad with breathtaking harmonies and melody. Then there is "Yellow Submarine," which isn't a favorite of mine, but is a favorite of many and fits the musical theme and flow of the record. "Tommorow Never Knows" is a perfect closer to this collection, though not one of Lennon's better songs (after all, the entire song is one long C chord...). Whenever asked what my favorite Beatles album is, "Revolver" is my answer. It is not only essential to any Beatles collection, it is required listening to anyone diving into 60s era music...and beyond.http://www.orbitfiles.com/download/id1499811931?list
