  The Beatles: Revolver ---Ink Blot Magazine
Revolver straddles with steady legs the divide between the exuberant pop of the '60s beat boom and the experimental outlands that followed.
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.

Revolver wouldn't remain the Beatles' most ambitious LP for long, but many fans--including this one--remember it as their best.
But Revolver, like the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, is more than merely a great rock album-- it is unquestionably one of the 20th Century's greatest works of art.
REVOLVER is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful albums, by The Beatles, that I have ever had the pleasure to hear.

If revolvers are carried by any of the featured players, they are usually for hunting, or target practice, or else it is an older character, set in his ways, and not amenable to the more advanced weapons of the day.
Revolver designers have a bit more of a free hand in the style of the grip, so it would seem that a revolver grip would be capable of the ideal shape for fitting the hand and taking aim.
Revolvers can also go out of tune, a situation in which the cylinder is not exactly lined up with the barrel at the moment of firing.

  Revolver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Revolvers have remained popular to the present day in many areas, although they have largely been supplanted by magazine-fed semi-automatic pistols such as the Colt 1911, especially in circumstances where reload time and higher cartridge capacity is deemed important.
As a general rule, revolvers cannot be equipped with a silencer, as there is usually a gap that exists between the revolving cylinder and the barrel over which a bullet must traverse or jump when fired.
It was recoil-operated, and the cylinder and barrel recoiled backwards to cock the hammer and revolve the cylinder.

REVOLVER followed along the lines of PULSE, playing mostly covers of hard-rock songs to audiences of intoxicated young adults who should have known better than to drive for miles in sub-zero weather to a rock'n'roll show in the hopes of getting laid.
REVOLVER even released two of these songs ("Song For Becky" and "Little Miss Hip") as a 45rpm single (remember those?) that was sold at venues where they played.
REVOLVER played for two years all over the upper midwest, mostly in the same sort of dingy clubs and ballrooms (and to some of the same not-so-just-of-age-anymore girls) previously haunted by PULSE.

A revolver works by having several firing chambers arranged in a circle in a cylindrical block which are brought into alignment with the firing mechanism and barrel one at a time.
Most commonly such guns have a five or six shot capacity, however, some revolvers have up to 10 shot capacity (this often depends on the caliber, though different companies produce revolvers in the same calibers with different capacities, due to other design differences) and each chamber has to be reloaded manually.
Elisha Collier developed a flintlock revolver in 1818, and numbers were being produced in London by 1822.

It's hard to comprehend, being a 17-year old who has heard (nearly) nothing but praise for their impact, but there was a time when the Beatles were nothing but four mop-topped lads from Liverpool.

 The Haunted: rEVOLVEr - PopMatters Music Review
The Haunted's fourth album, the goofily-titled rEVOLVEr, has original Haunted vocalist Peter Dolving returning for the first time since the first album, and while it's the usual, well-executed, blue-collar exercise in metalcore and thrash fans have come to expect from The Haunted, it's Dolving's dominating presence that leaves the most indelible impression.
However, rEVOLVEr manages to get off to a blazing start with the opener "No Compromise", which is pure thrash and speed, as Anders Bjorler and Patrik Jensen deliver tight, staccato riffs (and dig that breakdown mid-song), underscoring Dolving's authoritative bark, which sounds something between Meshuggah's Jens Kidman and Pantera's Phil Anselmo.
rEVOLVEr is an admirable piece of work, and while The Haunted stumble on a few tracks, it still remains a better than average record.

 Oh Look Out! Part 7, Revolver - Music History
In the United States, Revolver was issued on August 6, 1966, and was identical in cover and design except did not contain three songs that appeared on the British version, being: I'm Only Sleeping, And Your Bird Can Sing, and Doctor Robert.
From a business standpoint, it turned out to be the most important song on Revolver, in that it inspired the cartoon feature film that solved the problem The Beatles had in providing their third film, that they contractually owed United Artists.
It was a compliment to the otherwise darker side of Revolver, recorded on June 8 and 9, 1966.

 The Beatles: Revolver - PopMatters Music Review
Released in August of 1966, Revolver is the sound of good times and better drugs, of the individual members of the greatest band in the history of pop music peaking at the exact same time, and knowing it.
LSD is everywhere, from the night John spent tripping with the Byrds and Peter Fonda ("She Said She Said") to John's musical interpretation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead ("Tomorrow Never Knows", which still sounds light years ahead of this or any other time).
It's perhaps the most dated moment on Revolver, but it is also useful in that it offers the best glimpse of what it was like to be in a rock band in the mid '60s.

Many do consider 'Revolver' to be the best album ever made and while i'd perhaps question the validity of that statement i would say that in my opinion there has never been a better album ever made.
Actually 'Revolver' still displays much of the vitality and spontaneity that was apparent in their early years only this time the songs are dressed up a little differenly.
It's best to think of Revolver as the Beatles pinnacle because in many ways it does mark the time when their music was at its most creative and also at its most versitile.

But after a few months in limbo, Red Dead Revolver was given a new lease on life when Rockstar announced that it would be completing and publishing the game.
