Revolver - the Beatles' biggest experiment

The songs on Revolver use fewer chords than any other Beatles album. How did the Beatles overcome this limitation? [When I say other Beatles albums, I only count the Lennon/McCartney + Harrison originals on these].

I love this album

And this isn't even skimming the surface of how this album was experimental.

To be fair, I think it does skim the surface. But, as you say there was a lot more going on.

Dude,
You are overthinking it. I am sure that the Beatles did not get together and discuss the fact that they want to use the least amount of chords of any album on Revolver. There is no indication of that thought process in any of the over 100 Beatle books, magazines, and DVD/videos that I own. As Freud said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." Nice try.

Good theory, though!

[@robfiore1503]

Fewer chords, not less. Good video tho'

The only pop rock album that I like its songs individually, but I dislike it as a whole. To me, Revolver is a nice collection of singles, but a bleak album.
And by the way... I never liked it the art cover work by Voormann.
