Abbey Road

From: $13.97

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

An incredible work of music. Simply a masterpiece, and in my opinion has to be the best rocknroll/pop album of all time.

"The greatest album of all time" is a matter of taste but anyone that does not have this on the top 10 list is an idiot. The (very few) people who gave this less than 5 stars must be tone deaf morons!

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 05, 2008 Type: User Review Great music, but the CD cries out for remastering

I've listened to Abbey Road dozens of times. Tonight as I listened to the CD, I was motivated to write about the sound quality. It sounds like a poor transfer. I have the Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs vinyl, and though it has been a long time since I...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 31, 2008 Type: User Review Good But Not The Rutles

I like their execution but they need to develop their own style and write their own songs. Without that these guys won't ever play anything but sawdust floored bars and state fairs. Sure the group they mimic was great but we just don't need...

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 29, 2008 Type: User Review At the peak of their creative power

From the first cut, "Come Together," to the last, "Her Majesty," this is filled with songs, by turn, that are quirky, musical, emotional, amusing. . . . This is a classic "Late Beatles" album, even as the group was falling to pieces. There is a...

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this album? Sonically stunning and beautifully crafted. Not every song is great, but there is not a bad song to be found.

This cd is essential to your library of rock music. It is worth your pepsi points to have it. Although all the songs aren't good, you will enjoy them more than when you listened as a kid.
