According to Schaffner, one of the album's few detractors was Jonathan King, an English "pop-star-turned-pundit" who dismissed it as "pseudo-intellectual rubbish". [374] Ray Davies of the Kinks, who held a grudge against the Beatles from 1964, also disparaged the album when invited to give a rundown of the songs in Disc and Music Echo. Davies said Revolver was inferior to Rubber Soul. [375] Album Top 50 KW 10 | charts". MTV. 14 January 2011. Archived from the original on 15 December 2009 . Retrieved 12 March 2011.Psychedelic Pop".

With Revolver, the Beatles finally took the time to untether themselves from their past. They got a rare break from touring and moviemaking, catching their breath between tokes and trips. When they finally reconvened at Abbey Road, the first thing they recorded, strangely, was Lennon’s acid bath “Tomorrow Never Knows,” then known as “Mark I.” Beatlemaniacs have already heard the sleepy, eerie first take of the song on Anthology 2, also included here, but in the context of the Revolver box, it’s stunning how the tune (more of a meditation really) with its dolorous, unchanging base loop (which sounds a bit like a cello with emphysema) was nearly fully formed at its onset. Lennon’s lyrics, kind of an interdimensional blues ripped from Timothy Leary’s interpretation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, still sound ominous and anything but cute.

Bromell qualifies the statement by saying, "If we don't count the Holy Modal Rounders' 1964 cover of Leadbelly's ' Hesitation Blues'", which included a newly written verse referring to "the psychedelic blues".

This technique was instead used for the first time on a pop album when the Beatles released their follow-up to Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. [92] Author and critic Tim Riley nevertheless identifies the segues from " I'm Only Sleeping" to " Love You To" and " Doctor Robert" to " I Want to Tell You" as anticipating the "continuous stream of sound" achieved on Sgt. Pepper. [93]
