They're all great. However, depending on my mood on any given day this will either be second or third, pretty much alternating with Regatta De Blanc, and I like it so much for pretty much the reason Mr. X says, even if I never regularly listen to any of the songs on their own past "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da". There's something about the sound and texture of this album that's extremely appealing. <br /><br />Actually, to be honest, I don't fully understand why George calls it their Revolver. To me, it sounds more like their Tommy, or Transatlanticism (sorry, I have Death Cab on the brain, guess why), or Meddle - that is, a transitional album that serves as a bridge between their early period and their later period. Hell, if you wanted to stick with The Beatles comparison, I would find Rubber Soul more appropriate.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15610740706503683165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91230833908271886.post-19720027038671658732012-03-26T21:38:03.318-05:002012-03-26T21:38:03.318-05:00What? A 12? You give "A Quick One" a 13,...What? A 12? You give "A Quick One" a 13, but this a 12? Look, I'm one of the biggest Who fans there is, but this album is amazing. The sonic texture alone is asbolutely mystifying. And most of the songs are brilliant, even the instrumental filler. I understand why George Starostin called it The Police's "Revolver" (which you'll probably know my opinion of when I get around to reviewing it).Mr. Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06431440474437762706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91230833908271886.post-20612033603414474832012-03-26T10:52:47.887-05:002012-03-26T10:52:47.887-05:00Well there ya go, knew it had to be for somebody!Well there ya go, knew it had to be for somebody!Carey Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785204131613234844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91230833908271886.post-9440452336918776982012-03-25T22:18:37.248-05:002012-03-25T22:18:37.248-05:00Response to your comment at the beginning:
