Let It Be - The Beatles Reviews

My review of the 'Let It Be' Album - by The Beatles INTRODUCTION Let It Be is like no other Beatles album, it represents to me the Beatles at their most raw - when their interpersonal inter-band relationship were often at their most strained. This was the bands attempt to recapture the 'feel' of their early days (John ...  Read the complete review

While officially the Beatles' final release, this album is derived from the Twickenham Studios sessions of 1969. Originally intended for a fly on the wall film, it was McCartney's attempt to get the band back together as one, playing live like in the early days. Probably the only Beatles album proper, to ever receive negative reviews - ...  Read the complete review

As we near the four decade mark since the release of the The Beatles' final release, Let It Be, it now seems an appropriate time to re-evaluate an album which has received much criticism as the years have gone by. Initially intended for release a year prior to Abbey Road, but delayed by lengthy recording sessions, endless ...  Read the complete review

This album doesn't get the recognition it deserves. The final release in the legacy of the greatest ever music group was a fine tribute to what they achieved and the story of the band themselves. It is a different sound to the immediate preceeding albums (particularly the White album), more mature and a more heartfelt tone to it, as though they ...  Read the complete review

Let It Be was released just before the Beatles broke up but there are certainly no audible signs of such fractures in the band as Let It Be shows more unique musicality from the Fab Four. There are a few things to notes of Let It Be. Phil Spector produced it and in typical Spector fashion he felt inclined to put strings on some of the tracks which ...  Read the complete review

This is the most slandered Beatles album of the lot and before i begin, i would like to say that i may anger some people and say that i love this record. It is a different style of Beatles, free and rocking, trying their hardest to create a more natural sound that they had left off from many of the previous albums and this is the result. And as to ...  Read the complete review

And so- the most feted band of the sixties ends with a whimper, rather than a bang. This album was largely recorded BEFORE Abbey Road, but kept in the can as it wasn't felt strong enough to release- and frankly, it still sounds patchy. That's not to say ALL the songs are bad- Two of Us is a charming remniscence of a misspent ...  Read the complete review

Fab Four - the end.... Whoever you are, you'll have a view about The Beatles, even if it's despising them as irrelevant old Scousers, but I can't believe that there's too many people who'll fall into that latter category and this album is a good entry point to the Beatles catalogue as it captures them warts and all in ...  Read the complete review

When loking at album, I aim to be objective, just because I do not like something, does not mean it is not any good, my opinion is afterall just that, an opinion. I also look at an album as a collective, some songs might not be so good on their own, but them with others in album form and they can make alot more sense. I would ...  Read the complete review

Let It Be has often been considered the worst Beatles album, but it isn't. Most of the tracks were recorded without overdubs and some were even taken from the famous Rooftop Concert in Saville Row. There are better albums than this, and it does feel more like the Rolling Stones than the Beatles, but songs such as Dig A Pony, Let It Be, I've Got A ...  Read the complete review

This messy album, a mixture of tracks recorded live and tracks lavishly over-produced, is often thought of to be one of the band's weakest. It certainly has its flaws; the material here is simply not as uniformly strong as on their best work, and the general bluesy feel to much of the album doesn't quite come off. But for the most part it ...  Read the complete review
