ABBEY ROAD

Wow first review. I was pleasantly suprised to see The Beatles being added to this website because I think they are proto prog. But to the review. This is a very concise, cohesive, and consistant album. Those are the three Cs I look for in an album. Abby Road is an innovative classic and a masterpeice in music. The songs are excellent and very diverse. You get a song about a cerial killer who kills people with a hammer and a song about a man named Mr. Mustard a song about an octopus's garden and many more. Side two is especially amazing. The suit is perfect although I wish Polythene Pam was a bit longer. Not a single song is weak on this album except maybe the 30 second her magisty in the end. The highlights of abby road are Come together, Here comes the sun, I want you, because, and all of side two. A true masterpeice. One does wonder what could be accomplished after this album if The Beatles stayed together. The musicianship is also very noteworthy. Though not the best drummer Ringo does do well and drums very effectively. Heck, he even sings well in Octopus Garden. John sings his lungs out in I Want You. Paul sings great in Oh Darling and plays bass great as usual. Last but not least George Harrison. He is an excellent guitarist. Listen to I Want You and Here Comes The Sun. You gotta love that. Happy listening. Over all 4.7 stars. tony
