Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording:
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
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Mostly great songs; great Production
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!); ... Read More
Rating:  - The Group Pulls It Together For One Last Masterpiece.
After doing their last gig on the roof of Abbey Road studios following their "Let It Be" sessions, the group gave it one more go before breaking up for good. One of the reasons for the slight failure of "Let It Be" is that the Beatles weren't really functioning as the Beatles anymore. The album was enjoyable but also very sloppy. It was basically just a collection of solo pieces by each of the members. Abbey Road, on the other hand, was a cohesive masterpiece that was just as good, if not better, ... Read More
Rating: - No complaints!
Glad to finally get this essential Beatles album on CD...previously only owned it on vinyl.
Rating:  - N Sync, Sum 41, and Limp Bizkit have more talent.
When I think of talented music, I think of Limp Bizkit, Korn, Slipknot, Atreyu, Good Chartlotte, Hanson, Britney Spears, and The New Kids on the block.
The Beatles had no talent, they didn't even have MTV airplay.
Avoid this trash, turn on MTV, and listen to real music people. Not 60s junk.
Rating: - 20th Century Masterpiece
This is an album I have been listening to my whole life, basically. Occasionally I see it there in my itunes list and fire it up again. Every time I do, I am re-amazed at how good it is. A 20th century masterpiece.
