 He says it established rock 'n' roll as an art form and identifies its "trailblazing" quality as the impetus for Pink Floyd's "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" and for Brian Wilson to complete the Beach Boys' "mini-symphony", "Good Vibrations".Citing composer and producer Virgil Moorefield's book "The Producer as Composer", author Jay Hodgson highlights "Revolver" as a "dramatic turning point" in recording history through its dedication to studio exploration over the "performability" of the songs, as this and subsequent Beatles albums reshaped listeners' preconceptions of a pop recording.In his review for "Pitchfork", Plagenhoef says that the album not only "redefin[ed] what was expected from popular music", but recast the Beatles as "avatars for a transformative cultural movement".
