ABBEY ROAD

Not my favorite Beatles album at all, even if there is a lot of great songs here : Something, Here Comes The Sun, Come Together, You Never Give Me Your Money and all that medley which comes after this last song I quote...

Abbey Road is the Beatles's most best-selling album (for an album, not a compilation), but not the most revered album. You must admit that the magic which was on Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour and Revolver (and even on the White Album on a certain way, but I think it's another kind of magic) is gone here. The Beatles were almost dead when this release came out, and the last to come, Let It Be, was a confirmation to this statement.

Some good moments, so, but some horrible stuff too : Maxwell's Silver Hammer is a mess, Octopus's Garden too (what the f**k anyway with Ringo's songs ?), I want you (She's so heavy) is good but too long and repetitive (look out ! a guitar riff Pink Floyd will take for their In The Flesh ? song, in the album The Wall !), Oh ! Darling is a bore...

Abbey Road is a good album. Just a good one.
