Album Summary: Revolver

Revolver has been an incredible album, full of new sounds and creative lyrics, and inventive musical stylings. The Beatles really outdid themselves on this one. 

Although we skipped a couple of songs ("And Your Bird Can Sing", "Doctor Robert", etc.), the album had tons of new and fascinating ones. It's very difficult to choose just one or two favorites; I loved "Eleanor Rigby", "Yellow Submarine", "She Said She Said", "Got to Get You into My Life", and most of the others. 

I think what I loved most about Revolver was how fresh it was, and how bold the guys were to take it in such a unique direction. From George's Indian influence and use of traditional North Indian instruments like the sitar, to John and Paul's ever-evolving lyrical partnership, to Ringo's reliable quirkiness, The Beatles shine in Revolver, both as a musical group and as individual artists. Overall, if I were to give this album a grade, it would get an A+. :)

Tomorrow never knows... except that we're ready for the next album. See you then!
