Summary: Abbey Road
Comment: For me, Abbey Road is the Beatles' masterpiece. The Beatles were the Beatles because, while they embraced rock, they also transcended it...attaining a kind of lyrical quality that few, if any, from the Rock era achieved...and Abbey Road is the ultimate manisfestation of that. In a sense it is a bitter-sweet experience for me to listen to it: sweet because it is so impressive; bitter because it signifies what they could achieve...yet this was their last album before they split. Ah! the what-could-have-beens....

Summary: Classic Beatles
Comment: What's to say? This is one of several of The Beatles' best albums from the prime of their career. It was produced after their "Top-40" years when they were dedicated to creativity.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Mostly great songs; great Production
Comment: Love most of the album then and now. Didn't really understand, though, how much coulda been used elsewhere (like the "White Album"), and how much - not alot - came from other places: Come Together with its' Chuck Berry reference really driving the whole thing; Something, impossible without James Taylor's classic; Oh Darling, yet another Little Richard tribute while Richard was without a recording contract.
Some other curiosities: Mean Mr. Mustard & Maxwell's Silver Hammer (c'mon Paul!); I Want You (She's So Heavy) - a nice soundtrack for a bad Buster Crabbe pirate movie.
Which leaves up with the gems: above mentioned classic A and B side; Here Comes The Sun, You Never Give Me Your Money, Because.
And just like the double-album, we're left with not enough Harrison, to much PM Music Hall cuteness (as memorable as it surely is) and that pretentious "End".
(Is Eric Clapton playing lead on "Something").

Editorial Reviews:
|
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
