Revolver signaled that in popular music, anything – any theme, any musical idea – could now be realized. And, in the case of the Beatles, would be.
The album featured a bigger Indian influence than Rubber Soul, particularly on “Love You To”, one of three songs Harrison contributed to the record- his personal best. It also features sampling techniques in the forms of reversed vocals and tape-loops on songs such as “She Said She Said” and “Tomorrow Never Knows”, and some of the Beatles' most innovative instrumentation on “Eleanor Rigby” and “For No One”.
The central theme of the album is death, both literal and metaphorical.
The album was ranked by Entertainment Weekly, VH1, and Ireland’s Hot Press as the greatest album of all time.
Yes, Apple Music started featuring an animated artwork for this release after it’s Super Deluxe reissue in 2022.
