4 stars The Beatles's Revolver may be the greatest step forward done by the Beatles. This record sound to my ears as more convincing then their Sgt. Peppers. This record consists of garagerock (Taxman, dr. Robert), art-rock (Eleanor Rigby, For No One, Got to Get You into My Life), a childish song (Yellow Submarine) happy rock (Goodday Sunshine), eastern influenced rock (Love you too ) and psychedelic rock (Tomorrow Never Knows).

The guitar solo in Taxman seems to be influenced by the Byrds 5th Dimension record. The solo is fast and someway freestyl. This record of the byrds may be a main influence for the Beatles going more into the garagerock/psychedelic rock scene, because the Beatles were great Byrds fans.

This record fits really good into the varied psychedelic 60s and belonged to the most influential records of the time. In my opinion this is the best Beatles record ever and deserver 4+ stars.
