Paul Weller recommended Revolver by The Beatles in Music (curated)

"I was half tempted to put in all of The Beatles' albums. It's really hard for me to pick one because I fucking love all of them. They mean so much to me. I think Revolver, because it pointed the way forward. It's interesting that 'Tomorrow Never Knows', which still sounds like something that's coming from the future, was the first song that they started work on. They started that in early 1966 or whatever. Pretty far out when you think about it. That song always sounds contemporary to me. That thing with the bass and drums where it's just one groove, like a loop. And all the tape sounds that are coming in and out. It's very advanced for its time. The sound was so different that you knew there was something else going on, that something was changing culturally and musically for people, which of course it did the following year. The Indian influence is there as well. Obviously it's in 'Love You To', the George track, but also the way the guitars are played. You've got a slight drone going on with the guitars."

Okay, so I was excited at discovering there was still one other story to feature the Children of the Vault! And Carey was at the helm? Kinda-sorta excited. Art by Clay Mann? I think he is a good artist, but I was indifferent at that. Unfortunately, I was not expecting to be as disappointed as I was with this collection!

The story seemed to be good in concept, but when it played out? Hmm.. not so much! I felt Rogue was far too angsty during this period, reminding of yet another reason of why I gave reading the X-books during Carey's run!

Besides the story disappointing (come on? Another Children of the Vault story? It should'a been better!), the art really bothered me! I felt the female characters were objectified, looking not unlike a fanboy's bootleg comic! And even worse? Other than Indra's parents, no one looked even <u>remotely</u> Indian? What the fuck?!? This was supposed to Mumbai, for crying out loud, not Miami Beach!!

Conclusion? You can skip on this one! Only reason I gave it 2 *'s was due to some textual backstory to the Children of the Vault!
