Revolver

Love, Love, Love was the them of the Beatles music before August 6,1966 when they released their Revolver album. This album marked a turning point for The Beatles as a group. They were considered a very pop group before this album. Their sound was very clean and really didn't have much edge to it before this album. I believe this had a lot to do with John Lennon and George Harrison beginning to experiment with LSD. The music started resemble that of someone who was tripping on the drug. Harrison not only started to tap into his experiences with LSD but also his love for indian music and can be heard throughout this album. in the song Tomorrow Never Knows it inspiration was driven by a book which is all about LSD " The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on The Tibetan Book of the Dead."This album also to a different approach on the production side. Paul and John became a lot more interested in using things such as tape loops in some of the records. The even processed vocals through a Leslie Cabinet to create a very interesting effect on the vocals. This album really represented the process of recording. The Beatles really let you inside of their world throughout this project. From count-ins to us being able to hear them tune up before performing. This album was not about how they could recreate in on stage. More so it was about how can we use the tools around us to create interesting and thought provoking sounds. This album was the beginning of something new for The Beatles. I believe after this album they began to push the limits even further. This album I believe represented creative freedom for the Beatles. I feel after this album they really began to explore what all this thing called music had to offer and made themselves innovators of a new sound and new style. I actually love this album and it is very inspirational.
