THE BOYS FINALLY LOSE THEIR INNOCENCE WITH "REVOLVER"
7 of 7 found this helpful After discovering the healing and creative effects of the of the Bob Dylan introduced, "funny cigarettes" on their last LP, Rubber Soul, the Beatles went on to record this pioneering masterpiece.
This is really the beginning of the Psychedelic movement as we know it today and it came a full year earlier in 1966! This LP introduces pop fans to things that were to come in rock music way before they became a staple. Case in point: The horn section that was later to be a constant in the Chicago Transit Authority's first and subsequent Lps ( in the tune "Got To Get You Into My Life"), the first Drum-n-bass recording (with no machines, just Ringo blasting away at the polyrhythms!!), in "Tomorrow Never Knows", rock-meets-world music ("Love To You" with it's pre-Sgt. Pepper sitar/tabla workout), the shredding guitar solo by Paul on the Harrison penned, Taxman....yes Paul!!! and many other recording techniques and devices that were previewed on this LP for the first time.
Overall this record is a delight to hear and showcases why the Beatles were the most important group of their generation, not only in a fashion sense (like most of today's music seems to lean to), but they upped the ante for groups that came after which led to the world getting to hear the most advanced musicians in rock with the dawning of the Progressive rock and later the fusion era.....for better or worse...Revolver.....a true rock classic!
