Since the internet is fair game for being trite and unoriginal, I'm going to tell you why you should like the Beatles album Revolver. This album seriously changed the way I look at music. The story allegedly goes that Revolver was the first time the Beatles sat down in the studio to collaborate and record an album. The "first studio album" as they say. Very generally speaking, most releases before that were singles, jingles, or pop covers that may or may not have been recorded while on tour.
But Revolver marks the beginning of a musical arc for the Beatles. It is the second step on the band's way to releasing Sgt Peppers, and we all now how wonderful Sgt Peppers is. Arguably, the album Revolver is evidence of the band's evolution from a pop group to legends of rock. Adherents to Lennonist/McCartneyism will argue that "Revolver is the album from which all modern rock, metal, punk, is derived." To avoid utter banality, I leave you with these words of wisdom friends. Experience Revolver for yourself. Listen to it a thousand times if you have to, then listen a thousand more. Any sentient being that does so will be thanking me later.
