This is the best album of all time

This is the best album of all time.

70% of this album is fantastic

...

yellow submarine is the worst song on this album

best pop-rock album of all time yes

Listen to more music.
Not even.

Pet Sounds is far better. Revolver isn't even the best Beatles album.
Wrong. Doctor Robert.

What would you say is the best pop rock album then? Genuine question

>he joins the two largest genres into one immense genre

Love - Forever Changes

>>he
more like most people
why does this matter anyway you filthy egotist

Fine, Doctor Robert and yellow submarine both ruin this album

>pop

>Doctor Robert
>bad
I actually like that song a lot. :(

Imagine how this was the year this, Pet Sounds, and Blonde on Blonde all came out within a couple of months of each other. Has there ever been a better streak of masterpieces in such a short time?

more like the FYE store at the mall

there is a very fine distinction between the two genres, that being rock uses a distortion pedal

no pedal, no rock.

no chorus, no pop.

you'll catch on. just never EVER EVER AGAIN LABEL THAT ATROCITY ROCK DASH POP

1967, and 1963 with phil spector's singles

Forgetting 13th Floor Elevators, Mothers of Invention, The Velvet Underground singles, etc

1966 was the year the acid craze was at its peak, it wasnt until it became mainstream in 1967 with the summer of love that things went to shit. ask anyone who was there, the best times were right before the summer of love

the beatles used distortion pedals, theres fuzz on love to you's guitar, and they didnt use chorus pedals but the would double track the guitars or vocals and make the second track slightly out-of-phasing to create a psychedelic delay effect similar to the sound everyone could get from pedals, like what jimi hendrix was using at the time

you have no idea what you're talking about and it's clear your musical worldview is limited as fuck. stop.

i wonder what it was like to be an american in the 60s. my mother was a teenager then but she's never gone into much detail.

ask her
those memories are only on this planet for so long

how poorly misguided you are friend. then you would know that the beatles overddrive was a natural consequence of tube amps pushed to high volumes. no pedals.

real rock bands tour and have crowds screaming for them to hit the distortion pedal. the beatles sipped their tea like good little pop songwriters while they smoked cigarillos in their nice little studio in their suitcoats

surely friend you can agree that for all practical purposes genres should be SPLIT rather than combined, then we'd better describe the music we seek to define!

is this bait?

BOAT? Not really.
Great album? You betcha!
Great Beatles album in general? Again an emphatic YES! No album by The Beatles prior to it or after it sounds like it.

Fun fact: When The Beatles went on their last international concert tour in 1966 when the album was released NOT ONE SONG off of Revolver was performed in front of a live audience.

*cough*

Doctor Robert is fantastic. Good Lennon composition with overdubs and harmonium.

...

I agree to be honest. No filler in my opinion and it has my favourite George track (Taxman), my favourite John track (Tomorrow Never Knows) and one of my favourite Paul tracks (Here, There And Everywhere). Plus it has other absolute gems like Love You To, She Said She Said, I Want To Tell You, Eleanor Rigby, I'm Only Sleeping. The band peaked here for sure, just look at the single that the sessions produced which didn't even make the album; Paperback Writer backed with Rain. Amazing stuff.

I like this quote from a review:
>There's a case to be made that the Beatles went on to do Sgt. Pepper's because there was nowhere else to go but too far. With Revolver, they had mapped out the pop universe so perfectly that all they could do next was tear it up and start again.

>how poorly misguided you are friend.

>John's lead is automatically double tracked with each of the two slightly-out-of-phase tracks split onto separate stereo channels; creating a surrealistic effect supporting the lyric about drug use.[3] An interesting feature is the suitably "blissful" modulation (on "well, well well you're feeling fine"[4])

>Harrison also overdubbed fuzz-tone electric guitar,[60] controlling the output via a volume pedal.[58]

get BTFO, faggot no on cares for your compartmentalized ideas of what a rock star is or isnt

>Ask anyone who was there
Anyone who was really there, doesn't remember it

>The band peaked here for sure, just look at the single that the sessions produced which didn't even make the album; Paperback Writer backed with Rain. Amazing stuff.

This isn't how this works.

Back then, it was a sort of unwritten rule of a lot of British bands that you were meant to avoid placing singles on albums. A lot of UK bands felt like it was ripping off their fans to make them buy the same song twice.

They didn't do that because they felt like that single wasn't up to par with the rest of Revolver, they did it because they had a general rule not to place singles on albums during the mid to late 60s. That's why the UK and US have different versions, because the US operated in the opposite way: put singles on albums to make them sell.

Honestly, do you think those guys made the decision to exclude Rain or Paperback Writer for fucking Yellow Submarine because of the quality of songwriting? Revolver has weak tracks, and it'd be so much goddamn stronger if they didn't resolve to avoid placing singles like Rain and Paperback Writer on it.

fucking kill me i love this album so much

revolver has no weak tracks on it at all

has a ringo song

Ringo didn't write it he just sings it, and his drumming on the whole album is spectacular, his best

People have a problem with yellow submarine because 1) never took acid or 2) think rock and roll is suppose to be 100% serious with no room for silliness. I'll have you know the Beatles were very humerous and were almost a comedy band like the mothers of invention except more practical
