The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the first side's writing, John Lennon's hard-rocking, "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" make the strongest impression. A series of song fragments edited together in suite form dominates side two; its portentous, touching, official close ("Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"/"The End") is nicely undercut, in typical Beatles fashion, by Paul McCartney's cheeky "Her Majesty," which follows. --Rickey Wright |

A Pure Classic! |
|
Wow....finally the whole Beatles catalog has been reissued and remastered. I have to say the sound is great! This one is probably my favorite of the Beatles catalog. |

This pressing is crap - but the 2009 remaster instead |
|
EMI/Capitol Records, the same label that shortchanged the Beatles, making millions around the world on the backs of the Fab Four, and paying them (taxable) pennies on the Pound. Such was the depth of the penny pinching stinginess that the band put their trust on the charlatan "Magic Alex", who in the end, cost The Beatles 300,000 Pounds (about $3Million Pounds today) - to build them a brand new state of the art 72 track recording studio. It is little wonder then, that albums such as "Let It Be' brim with anger, insecurity and defeat - leading a short time to "Abbey Road", a more polished effort and in a way (and forgive me fans): sterile. This is not to take away from the music itself, but by then they were no longer a band - McCartney attempting to take over the group via a coup d'Etat,and shortchanging his band members by secretly buying a larger share of the music publisher that owned their songs, and brutally repressing any input by George (though in the case of Ringo, it is perfectly understandable). Capitol Records has milked the Fab Four legacy with their inept and overall stupid compilation releases, which only made people such as Allen Klein exponentially rich, while starving the band of their dues. If you must have this album, go for the 2009 remaster, not for the rehash/retread of the 1995 release. |

An Excellent Album |
|
What an album.It's almost flawless. I'm just going to say from the begging, Octopus's Garden is one of the most god awful songs ever. With a great intro,it's a complete let down. The lyrics are awful and so are the vocals. It really brings the album down a lot. However, the rest is amazing. It starts with a Beatle's spin on funk (Come Together). Next is George Harrison's all-time best song "Something", one of the most beautiful ballads I've ever heard. Next to "Everyday" by Buddy Holly and "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton, it's the best love song ever. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is demented, but catchy, and has the best rhyming Paul McCartney has ever written. "Oh! Darling" is a great rocking salute to R&B. "I Want You" is a very deep song. Many people think that it's too long, but if you stick to the end, you'll hear the best Beatle's jam and most abrupt ending.After the very heavy sound of "I Want You", there's the very optimistic, light "Here Comes The Sun". This is also amoung Harrison's best. It's very pretty and somewhat simple. "Because" has beautiful 3-way harmonies and mystical lyrics. There's no doubt that the strongest part of the album is the medley. It starts with the Apple bashing "You Never Give Me Your Money" which features three (maybe 4)distinct (and awesome) parts and beautiful piano. Next is Lennon's turn with the poetic "Sun King" and hilarous "Mean Mr. Mustard" and "Polythene Pam". He gives the best part of the medley. Then there's the country-tinged "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window". Paul turns a famous Thomas Dekker song into a beautiful childhood ballad with "Golden Slumbers". "Carry That Weight" is a great anthem to the pressures of growing up, "The End" is a thrill with each guitarist taking turns with sweet solos. It also has Ringo's only drum solo ever (and it's his best moment ever). "Her Majesty" is a let down. "The End" would have been a perfect way to say goodbye, but they chose this instead. It's a nice diddy,but it's only Paul. They should have ended with giving each member part to shine. None the less, this is still an phenomenal album. I suggest to anyone who likes music in general. This isn't my favorite Beatles album. Just proves that everything they did was gold. |

MUSIC IS DISAPPOINTING |
I LIKE THE BEATLES, BUT I'M NOT ONE WHO LIKES EVERYTHING THEY DID, JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE THE BEATLES. I THINK AT THIS POINT THEY WERE RIDING ON THEIR PAST REPUTATION.
I ALWAYS LIKED THE ALBUM COVER ON ABBY RD, BUT WAS VERY SURPRISED AT THE LACK OF GOOD MATERIAL ON THE ALBUM WHEN I SAMPLED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT. I WOULD RATE THIS ALBUM A NOTCH BELOW THE WHITE ALBUM, WHICH HAD A FEW GOOD SONGS, BUT MOSTLY JUST WEIRD, NO CATCHY TUNES, AND HAS A DEPRESSED OR DOWN TRODDEN FEELING.
I WOULD SAY TO STICK WITH EARLIER MATERIAL, OR GO TO A SITE LIKE YOUTUBE WHERE YOU CAN SAMPLE THE SONGS FIRST. THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE SONGS WORTH HAVING ON THIS ALBUM, IN WHICH CASE I'D SAY TO BUY A GREATEST HITS OR BUY SONGS INDIVIDUALLY. FOR SOME REASON AMAZON DOESN'T LET YOU BUY MP3'S BY THE BEATLES.
NO OFFENSE TO BEATLES DIE HARD FANS THAT CONSUME EVERYTHING THEY DID, BUT QUITE HONESTLY FROM AN OBJECTIVE POINT OF VIEW, THEY WERE NO LONGER WALKING ON WATER AT THIS POINT IN THIER CAREER.
