im assuming by "unadventurous" you mean compared to stuff youve heard that came after?

Does everything need a comparison? I suppose me not being a 60s geek makes my view on a 1966 album null?

No, not compared to stuff that came after. I just don't find the album to be very interesting and I'll need to re-listen to stuff before it to maintain my "better with each album until Abbey Road" viewpoint

if you post potentially controversial statements/opinions i will press you on it and challenge because its fun

im not really talking about your opinion, i dont care that you dont like it much but saying its unadventurous is a false statement and not one of opinion. not really possible for one of the most important
pioneering rock/pop albums to not be adventurous. definitely possible for someone to think its boring af tho. innovative recording and production techniques, early psychedelia, nearly unprecedented variety, and significant development in what the art form of an album would become the way it comes together as a whole

also agree on the production, i dont mind it much but its definitely the worst sounding of their goat albums for me. hopefully a remix one day but i remember reading there might be some technological setbacks to do that for Revolver

a reminder to listen to the mid ass pre-Abbey Road album Let It be to shatter that viewpoint lol

Well idk how else to describe 'dry'. Just feels lacking maybe? I wasnt trying to post it as fact and I'm not denying its impact/innovative features. But I'm not really a Beatles guy so maybe I'm extra harsh. I do still like the psych tinged stuff on there

I know what you mean. There a certain unassuming clarity and razor sharpness it takes a while to appreciate. Album didn't really attain it's status until the '87 reissue came out.

Only Good Day Sunshine is truly naff on there

That’s just a nice little throwback to their early stuff, it’s fun.

You peep the mono version?

Revolver like Rubber Soul minus the warmth and plus a little psych. George Harrison said he could hardly tell the difference between them.

Thanks Elric and Fidelio for getting what I was trying to say. Was never making an attempt to downgrade its significance or whatever

Nah the early stuff had actual hooks

rubber soul is the first big step through the door and revolver is the natural expansion

or, weed album vs weed+LSD album

That song clearly has a catchy hook, c’mon

You call it a hook I call a phrase that gets repeated a bunch of times and never hits
