Editorial Review:
It is nearly impossible to overestimate this record. Revolver straddles with steady legs the divide between the exuberant pop of the '60s beat boom and the experimental outlands that followed. And then pisses over it all. Revolver stands at the summit of western pop music, partly by virtue of its centrality to the musical revolution of the '60s, and partly because its songs have endured as well as any ever written. On cuts like "Taxman" (featuring a fantastically ferocious guitar solo from, of all people, Paul McCartney) and "Doctor Robert," The Beatles' harmony-rich R&B is on such masterful form, the only question remaining is what they would do for act two. The answer: Change Everything. EMI. 2005.
Description of Revolver:
Revolver wouldn't remain the Beatles' most ambitious LP for long, but many fans--including this one--remember it as their best. An object lesson in fitting great songwriting into experimental production and genre play, this is also a record whose influence extends far beyond mere they-was-the-greatest cheerleading. 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 anything Sgt. Pepper attempted, and more subtly fulfilling. A must. --Rickey Wright
Revolver Reviews:
Love it! 
2009-11-22 - If you love the Beatles, you'll love this remastered recording. You can hear everything so much more clearly than in the original recordings! Great mixing and engineering!
Pre Sgt Pepper Greatness
2009-11-16 - The remastering is fantastic -- very crisp - the vocals and harmony are superb. The "trippiness" is a hint at things to come in Sgt. Pepper. I know that some critics think that Revolver is the Beatles best album; I beg to differ.
The songs are great, but a little weaker than Rubber Soul. The album does not have the overall "theme" that Sgt. Pepper does; not the instrumentation and concept.
Pepper's is pure genius. This would be ranked 3rd by me in terms of best Beatles albums. However, it is still in the top ten of best albums of all time.
Never Again 
2009-11-01 - The cd i ordered took 3 weeks to finally arrive. it was delivered 3 days after the expected delivery. i never waited this long for an item to arrive.
How Is It Possible?
2009-10-22 - I find it hilarious that anyone could rate the best pop / rock music of all time anything less than five stars. The best Beatles efforts (Help, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, MMT) have only been improved with the remastering effort. Anyone who can find fault with these gems of recording needs to ask themselves "what does rate five stars?" The work the Beatles turned out in 6 years has never been matched in terms of quantity and quality. There are very few "weak" tracks in the entire body of work. If you seriously think these milestones rate less than five stars, I can only say "get real!".
Revolver!!!
2009-10-19 - in my opinion, the absolute best Beatles album. Its a well rounded stylistically multi faceted compillation of great songs. I've loved it since I was a child.
