(Book). Acquired wisdom has always put Sgt. Pepper at the head of the class, but it was Revolver that truly signaled The Beatles' sea change from a functional band to a studio-based ensemble. These changes began before Rubber Soul but came to fruition on Revolver , which took an astonishing 300 hours to produce, far more than any rock record before it. The making of Revolver hunkered down in Abbey Road with George Martin is in itself a great Beatles story, but would be nothing if the results weren't so impactful. More than even Sgt. Pepper and Pet Sounds , Revolver fed directly into the rock 'n' roll zeitgeist, and its influence could be heard everywhere: from the psychedelic San Francisco sound (Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead); to the first wave of post-blues hard rock (Sabbath, Zeppelin); through movie soundtracks and pretty much everything that followed it including every generation of guitar-based pop music and even heavy metal. More than any record before or after, Revolver was the game-changer, and this is, finally, the detailed telling of its storied recording and enormous impact.

My biggest issue is with the books of this style, purportedly written to examine a single album's influence on the greater musical industry, then proceeds to give a history of the Beatles' output prior to that (as though, with the millions of books written on the Beatles, their history, and their influence, that's even a requirement).
After the history, we get a bit of an overview of where their heads were at, which is good. Then we're taken on a mostly workmanlike overview of the making of each song, which is fine, but I was hoping for a touch more insight.
Then there's an overview of its initial reception, which is expected and should be there, and how it seemed to influence the other artists and bands' output afterward, which I thought was a big part of the point of this examination.
But then we get a quicker overview of the buildup and making of Sgt. Pepper and the reception, just so the author can basically rip into it for not being as groundbreaking as Revolver.
Overall, felt like much ado about nothing, to be honest. (
