Vow! This album is a milestone within popular music. It's quite frankly a musical revolution - the year is 1966 and we are talking indian sitars, guitars and drums looped backwards and a sound so futuristic that that the future has yet to catch up with it. George Harrison is first out with Taxman, which is followed by McCartney's classic Eleanor Rigby - a sombre yet delightful reflection on life and loneliness. John Lennon's I'm Only Sleeping is just wonderful, whereas darker tunes such as She Said She Said and Doctor Robert give Revolver that slightly eery feel about it. The album closer Tomorrow Never Knows gave the genre of popular music a whole new dimension. Revolver is an album that will continue to inspire new generations of musicians in years to come.
