Abbey Road - The Beatles Reviews

Seeing as the 40 year anniversary of the record has just passed, the time seems fit for a reappraisal of the Beatles' swansong, Abbey Road. Released in 1969, Abbey Road was actually the last album by the band, and as such one can choose to read its contents accordingly. For instance, the long medley that dominates the second half the record, ...  Read the complete review

Information about the creation and the recording of Abbey Road has been well documented, with the group coming off what they saw as the failure of the Let It Be sessions. From this they decided that with the tensions within the group and the general unrest, most notably from George Harrison, they would try and create one final album that would ...  Read the complete review

My review of Abbey Road - by The Beatles INTRODUCTION This is the final Album made by the Beatles (though Let It Be, recorded before Abbey Road was released after it). FEATURES, INFO, PROS & CONS Named after the legendary recording studio; Abbey Road - the Beatles album, marked for many the high point in their career, and ...  Read the complete review

The last album recorded by the Fab Four - & one of their best it certainly is. Paul McCartney is the catalyst here, providing much of the material, & adding depth with impressive production ('Maxwell's Silver Hammer'), classic ballads (You Never Give Me Your Money') & the epic medley that took up the entire 2nd side of the original ...  Read the complete review

A band who needs no introduction.... The Beatles! The four liverpool lads went back into the studio for their final album in 1969, Rolling Stone's 14th Greatest Album Of All Time. Lets see what all the fuss is about shall we? The album begins with the sure-footed Come Together. Undeniably foot tapping bluesy number. Feeling a bit restrained ...  Read the complete review

Amid all of the stories of the group breaking up, with personal relationships completely breaking down, somehow The Beatles managed to conjure up one more great album before they called it a day (Let it Be falls slightly short of great) This is the most complete set of songs since Revolver, stripping the songs back down to their basic ...  Read the complete review

I doubt that my review of this album is going to make me popular, but here goes. This is an OKAY album, but by no means flawless. There is an overwhelming tendency to view everything The Beatles did with rose tinted glasses, as if they could do no wrong, and whilst the high points of this album (come together, I want you she's so heavy, here come ...  Read the complete review

Abbey Road is my favourite Beatles album for a number of reasons. As it was their last album together and tensions in the band were fraught at the time, the quality of the musicianship is outstanding for a band that were falling apart. Its a testement to their proffessionalism that an album of this quality could have been made under those ...  Read the complete review

I've realised that I own blooming (trying not to swear) loads of albums, certainly over 400 but based on my Itunes total of over 8000 possibly it's nearing 600, not a lot by Frankingsteins tally but not bad. So I thought I'd start at A and see how far I get before I think about getting my Megadrive out and starting my games ...  Read the complete review

It's hard to review the Beatles as there are some albums of theirs that are better than others but they still deserve 5 stars. I don't need to give much background I dare say on the most famous band of all time. The original Fab four released Abbey Road in 1969 and as usual it was a mega hit. Everthing the Beatles touched turned to gold at the ...  Read the complete review

Abbey Road was and still is a album that can not be beaten in both quality and content, there are secrets behind this album that have not been discovered yet believe me. Everyone knows the Beatles but not everyone realizes how diverse they were, the talent grew and grew and went through so many phases throughout there careers. The reason ...  Read the complete review

This is the greatest album of all time. The creativity that went into this album, the range of feeling and the creativity of all four Beatles hit it's pinnacle such that this masterpiece is the Mt. Everest of Beatles achievements. When this was an LP, the contrast between the sides was unique and added to the distinction. Side one being fully ...  Read the complete review

Abbey Road was my first Beatles album and is also my favourite. It is a true masterpiece, a work of which I never tire. I first bought my own copy up in January 1998, and I regret not having one for the nineteen years of my life that preceded it. Since I was a late Beatles developer, I was determined to catch up and I’m very glad that I did. ...  Read the complete review

It was the last album they recorded together, and if you ask me, they left the industry at their peak. If your a fan of modern music, then it is a crime not to own a copy of the 1969 Beatles album, Abbey Road. Or at least to have heard it. It may not contain many well known tracks, but in my opinion, the lesser known Beatles tracks are often the ...  Read the complete review

It’s not an easy thing writing ops, you know. Oh, no. It can be infuriating, dull and hard to be inspired. Frankly, the only reason I continue is the joy of putting question marks where they obviously don’t belong, and I’m even beginning to tire of that. Wel?l, nearly. So what I’m trying to say, in a roundabout, ...  Read the complete review

If your a fan of modern music, then it is a crime not to own a copy of the 1969 Beatles album, Abbey Road. It may not contain many well known tracks, but in my opinion, the lesser known Beatles tracks are often the better ones. On this album the Beatles showed sides that they had previously not shown, as well as a lot of very ...  Read the complete review

The true final Beatles Album and the one were George shines brightest. Allow most people would class SGT Pepper as the Beatles finest hour the truth would be more like Paul Mc Cartneys finest! Allow Lennon claimed that the B side of the Album was mostly all bits of songs and truthfully you can see that ie " I want you ( She's so ...  Read the complete review

Reviewing an album by the Beatles is a little like reviewing the sun or the moon. Like the sun or the moon, a Beatles album is a fact of life: something to be accepted without thought, enjoyed when it's good, endured when it's not. You wouldn't question or analyze one any more than you would question or analyze a miracle. And the ...  Read the complete review

"Let it be" was released after it, but "Abbey Road" was the Beatles' final recording, the final time when all four Fabs recorded together in the studio. As everyone knows, things were not altogether hunky dory between them, the four were going their separate ways? and it shows on "Abbey Road". It has been ...  Read the complete review
