LET IT BE

How on earth did this happen? They release the amazing Abby Road-a full blown prog album. Right before that they have many other great albums. And then they release this. A mediocre album that literally drops every progressive element they gained and brings back some of the bad elements of their early work. While it's still a different style than their early work, it has just as many throwaways as their early stuff (Maggie May, Dig It). While it still has some good songs (I Me Mine, Let It Be, The Long and Winding Road, Dig A Pony), but even those songs don't match anything on Abbey Road or Sgt. Pepper. So Overall, if you're a collector of rock music history, get it, but anyone who enjoyed Abbey Road will be undoubtedly dissapointed.
