1966 was a complicated year in the beatles' career, John Lennon's comments about Jesuschrist affected the band's image considerably, incidental situations in their tours became more and more frequent, from the mistreatment in the Philippines to the protests in japan to stop them
performing at the Budokan, the press conferences were more and more tense, the band's relationship was wearing out, and they gave the impression of being distant, John, George and Ringo were already married men and McCartney was moving away from family life to get involved in movements that were in London in those years, as the months went by the composition evenings between Lennon and McCartney were less frequent, they all started to work on their own, to have alternate projects, live, things were not looking good, they received threats in every city, and they would experience their last american tour a few months later, hand in hand with their interest in studio
work, experimentation and artistic evolution as their escape route, and already with the basis of an album as an artistic piece in rubber soul, Revolver represented a radical change in the rules of the game.

I've heard people say Rubber Soul and Revolver could be a double album. I can see that if referring to a turning point in their career, but the two albums are completely different sounding. Rubber Soul more acoustic and folk sounding, and Revolver very electric and bright. Rubber Soul sounds more like a double album with Help! to me. Those two have lots of similarities, only Rubber Soul more complex. Revolver moved the Beatles into their experimental period (drugs and studio) that concluded throughout 1967, and fits better with Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour.

I would have to disagree. I think in recent years this has become the the edgy, artistic choice as best Beatles album because of the psychedelic elements and its iconic and creative cover compared to say a Rubber Soul. But I think the album is weaker in terms of content, certainly for a casual listener compared to the latter, which I regard as their best. Side two is super weak. For No One is good I guess but is certainly modest and then there's the closing track which I know is divisive. I personally don't like it. It just comes across as edgy in an attempt to be cool and hip. Side one is strong though, apart from the two Harrison contributions. I can see why people like it but its not my Beatles sound and I think most causal fans would agree.

But it still hardens back, to a certain extent, to the Mop Top or Mania period that I believe they were trying to shed. The Beatles weren't TRYING to be Edgy and Hip while recording Revolver; they were Edgy and Hip. They SET the Edge. They already knew what was Hip.They weren't recording just Boy/Girl love songs anymore. They were writing about Political Issues, Loneliness, Laziness, Drugs, Life, etc. And the Love Songs they did record had a more Mature, Sophistication about them, with the possible exception of Good Day Sunshine. Nothing on Revolver sounds anything like their previous songs. That was really their whole idea. Was to Progress from Album to Album. I believe they did, right up to the end. But Revolver was definitely a Peak. I'm not trying to be argumentative, Dominic. I totally respect your opinion. Believe Me, I love Rubber Soul. Like George said in the Anthology, those 2 albums are like Vol. 1 and 2 and I agree. In fact, Norwegian Wood is My All Time Favorite Beatles' song. But I find that with Revolver, to Me it's just 14 Great songs all on 1 Album.

Getting back to 1966, I think the artwork on the Collection of Beatles Oldies album released in the U.K in December of that year was also influenced by the artwork of Revolver and the back photo with them in all relaxed in shades.

To me, this time period was their most creative and influential. Their creativity was evident on Rubber Soul, but time constraints really limited what they could do. By the time 1966 started, the handcuffs were officially off and they were able to spend nearly 4 months recording Revolver. I guess I've always been a fan of the journey, because those two albums showed the initial steps. Obviously, what came next was both odd and intriguing, but the polished production of Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour just don't strike that creative raw energy that they resonated here.

Revolver is a great album. Surprisingly, the band never performed any of the songs live even though several like Taxman and Dr. Robert could have been pulled off on stage. I heard somewhere that Dr. Robert was a reference to Max Jacobsen, also known as Dr. Feelgood. He gave shots mixed with all kinds of drugs to many celebrities, including President Kennedy. I also recall hearing that Paul played a demo of Elanor Rigby to a music teacher he was working with at the time and after the music teacher panned it the relationship between the two came to an abrupt end. As for And Your Bird Can Sing, that is one of my favorites. I love the guitar work and Paul's bass lines on that one are awesome. Anyway, Revolver rocks. Thanks for the fair and balanced review.

I consider And Your Bird Can Sing to be the perfect pop-rock song. Love You To is also a masterpiece that is sorely underappreciated. I've never heard Paul say Eleanor Rigby was influenced by Pet Sounds. Source? She Said She Said strange and a sequel to I'm Only Sleeping? If you say so... 6:58 that can be said for absolutely every song on the album in my opinion 7:28 For many? As a lifelong Beatles fan, I don't think I've ever heard a single negative word said about the song.

My favourite Beatles album just ahead of Rubber Soul. A work of genius 👍

Kind of a hard take on “And Your Bird Can Sing”. I personally think it’s one of the best songs on the album. Great video though.

Here is the thing about John: he was quite critical of much of The Beatles catalog but when he really liked something (no pun intended here) he would say so also.

I found a copy of the Anthology #2 in a pawn shop, last month... 😮 such a pleasure and a honor to hear demos/first takes etc... from their Help/Rubber Soul/Revolver/Sgt Peppers era. Like we say in french: MALADE!

During The Beatles world tour of 1966 which coincided with the release of Revolver they never played one song from that album at any of their gigs, instead choosing to play their earlier hits or cover versions? Strange.

I grew up with the Beatles. Got Meet the Beatles album on Christmas Eve, 1963. I was thirteen. ( Also got my first guitar that Christmas. An acoustic, 6-string Stella. ) Due in large part to the Fab Four, I became a professional studio musician. In 1966, the foolish furor in the Bible-belt southern US states was ridiculous. I'm a Canadian and totally understood what John was getting at. Literally, he said, " We're more popular than Jesus. " There were more screaming, adoring fans than there were kids going to church, except in the good old USA. The Ku Klux Klan and DJs threw hissy fits and burned records. Intelligent reaction. Very mature. On the heels of that dumpster fire, they dissed the dictator in the Philippines and ran for their lives to the airport. They also had to give back their concert earnings. I saw their last live concert in Toronto that summer night, Aug. 17th with 17,000 fans. Revolver was released on August 3rd in Canada and I'd already worn out my copy. I thought, " Who are these guys and where are they taking us? " Especially after listening to " Tomorrow Never Knows " about forty times ! Golly!

Love this album! Never really appreciated it until the pandemic started. Abbey Road use to be my favorite Beatles album of all time, but that is now second to Revolver.

A well deserved holiday from touring & crowds; then, 3 months in the studio, sounds developed by the band &Geoff Emerick.... then adding George Martin arrangements, also recorded by Geoff Emerick (21yrs old) ; on 4 track; in mono.

How many times will John be damned for his ‘More popular than…’ comment. He was simply saying that more people bought Beatle albums, than went to church. Not a sleight, but a sad fact.

Very interesting. I keep moving between Revolver, Sgt Pepper & Abbey Road as my favourite. This album has stood the test of time which the vast majority of music of the 21st Century, so far, will not even come close.

Just what we need - an American review of Revolver, where the Capitol album released in the USA missed off three of five John Lennon songs available on the record everywhere else in the world.

After listening and learning about the Beatles since 1975 when I was in 5th grade. Today I came to my own decision and feel and think it was John who broke the band up with his weird and strange ways, he even had words in one of his songs, " Strange Days Indeed"

@stephaniedelrio1073 8 ай бұрын

That " strange days" quote you mentioned, came many years later on a solo album from John called Walls and bridges.
