5 stars The Beatles are the act most responsilble from turning rock away from it's roots. This album is one of the biggest reasons why. Here are my highlights.

1. Taxman- You have the Hendrix chord distored before Hendrix was out. Mix the funky bass line with the highly distorted Indian style guitar solo. 2. Love You Too- Rock meets world music fusion. The use of exotic microtones. 3. I'm only Sleeping- Backward guitars. Indian sounding detuned guitars. 4. Eleanor Rigby- Music without rock instruments. 5. She Said She Said- Acid Rock with sections in contrasting meters 6. And Your Bird Can Sing- Twin unison guitars. 7. Tomorrow Never Knows- The song is the ultimate fusion pop song. Indian, Avant and Music Concrete and Early psychedelic rock. Two chord drone song that is a modal tune.
