Amazon.com essential recording
Revolver wouldn't remain the Beatles' most ambitious LP for long, but many fans--including this one--remember it as their best. An object lesson in fitting great songwriting into experimental production and genre play, this is also a record whose influence extends far beyond mere they-was-the-greatest cheerleading. Putting McCartney's more traditionally melodic "Here, There and Everywhere" and "For No One" alongside Lennon's direct-hit sneering ("Dr. Robert") and dreamscapes ("I'm Only Sleeping," "Tomorrow Never Knows") and Harrison's peaking wit ("Taxman") was as conceptually brilliant as anything Sgt. Pepper attempted, and more subtly fulfilling. A must. --Rickey Wright

 I listened to this for 12 hours once... March 20, 2010
Nobody
In a house overlooking the lake, on about 500 mikes of genuine acid. It's a great album, stoned or straight.
"When I Was a Boy Everything Was Right" March 3, 2010
Jack Baker (LeRoy,IL)
Was there any other band in the history of rock and roll that evolved as fast as The Beatles? Within a few short years, the Liverpool lads would go from making simple pop music (VERY good pop music, mind you) to creating the most influential music in history. Revolver is an important step in that process and contains some of my favorite Beatles' songs, including "She Said She Said", "Eleanor Rigby", "Taxman", and "Got To Get You Into My Life". Not only was the music amazing, but Revolver was a technical masterpiece as well, employing the latest recording techniques of the day.
Revolver was the first of the 2009 Beatles' remasters I purchased, replacing my original CD version. In my opinion, the remaster is far superior to the original CD release. There's more separation between the instruments, each now having a distinct voice. It's almost like being in the room with the band while they're playing. The recordings just feel a little more alive to me now, with subtle details I hadn't noticed on the original CD. My one complaint with the reissue packaging would be the lack of a plastic tray to insert the CD into. Sliding the discs in and out of the cardboard sleeve will eventually lead to scratching, so I've taken to storing the discs themselves separate from the artwork to better preserve them. The album booklets are printed on thick glossy paper for a nice effect, but I don't think the packaging would have been spoiled by the addition of that plastic tray. I've seen plenty of other albums that are a combination of cardboard and plastic that look just fine.
The album is amazing and sounds better on CD than it ever has before. Highly recommended.
Mono is better overall February 11, 2010
PAC MAN (NEW YORK)
The mono is better overall. Rigby is a total experience in mono also. You really need the first four albums in mono along with pepper, mmt, and revolver. Hopefully some of the mono albums will be individually released for people. Pepper in mono blew me away and so did revolver.

Starting with Taxman, the best track on the record, we get a clear impression of The Beatles as a band, performing in the studio. Taxman never sounded better, you can really hear the bass, and guitar, not to mention the cowbell. The rest of the songs on the record alternate between John's material, Paul's material and George's material, with even Ringo singing lead vocals on Yellow Submarine. This might be The Beatles best record for overall songwriting and song selection, but that's hard to say.
 This album is extremely good, but still oddly lacking February 7, 2010

First, the good, and there are a load of good and great songs on this album. John Lennon's timeless vocal and some intriguing mixtures of instruments make "I'm Only Sleeping" one of the best songs on this CD, and an arguably underrated Beatles song. "Eleanor Rigby" is an appropriately haunting tune eerily involving the bad death and burial of an old spinster. I am an unashamed fan of "Yellow Submarine." It is a fun, lyrically fascinating song which also features one of Ringo Starr's most entertaining lead vocals with the band.
Heading the list of hugely overrated songs on this album is "Taxman," one of George Harrison's first major hits with The Beatles. It's lyrically repetitious, and though always timely thematically, it still could have been done better. Perhaps if they had made it bigger instrumentally or used an overall different musical arrangement it would have been crisper. I was never a big fan of Paul McCartney's "Good Day Sunshine" either, as I think it's too cloyingly cheerful and fake. Paul redeems himself mightily with "Here, There and Everywhere." Despite an overly simplistic title, it is a fine examination of the various permutations of romantic love. John Lennon's "Doctor Robert" may have been a veiled reference to the hippie drug culture of the '60's, but I believe it's still one of the most durable songs on this CD. Lastly, "And Your Bird Can Sing" rounds out what is a mixed bag of huge hits and odd misses on this Fab Four album. It is musically interesting, and lyrically up to par, but the enthusiasm and wonderful creativity of, say, "A Hard Day's Night" or "Help!" (the songs, not the albums), just is not there.
Overall, this is a fine Beatles disc whose songs nevertheless fail to completely bowl me over, as a whole. Maybe this was the album taken most directly from its time(at this point, 1966) and thus struggles, albeit in a small way, to be truly timeless. At any rate, it is still worth the time of any music lover to check this CD out, as it is flexible enough to appeal to a wide range of people.
