More Revolver reviews
review by JP_Rocky_Raccoon.
June 01, 2006
Because the Beatles mastered so many innovations in pop music and songwriting, any attempt to pick a work and claim it as their crowning achievement is almost futile. Critics have spent much space defending their rendering of the best Beatles' albums, and, significantly, most of them have a good case.

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 anythingSgt. Pepperattempted, and more subtly fulfilling. A must.--Rickey Wright
