ABBEY ROAD

5(+), which brings here strange situation. One of few times I feel comfortable enough to give rating before, not after review. When somebody thinks, that this is useless album and is full of forgettable songs, I can oppose him and say that every one of them is masterpiece, probably the most memorable album I know. Come Together with it's opposite side of mood for Something makes pretty nice pair. Together. Crazy and madness bringing (but funny, so funny) Maxwell's Silver Hammer (bang bang) and classic rock Oh! Darling. You can say that they're little bit pop, but I'll reply that they overcomes borders of pop rock and dwells into something bigger, better and more mature. This is their dusk, after this album is just twilight. But after this song came playful Octopus's Garden.

For example these album sales. They and Elvis Presley made it so far. And both were pioneers, but while Elvis is legend in quite different style (my grandma likes listening his songs), The Beatles (my father likes listening their songs) are prog. Why ? Because all these things they created, or helped to create, or used in a way that caught audience. Why not The Monkees guys ? I suppose we all know the answer. Never mind, this I Want You is great instrumental song. Yes, there are lyrics, but as I once learned (hey father, we can listen to Abbey Road and I got all lyrics, except I Want You, I once said to him. He replied that for this song, lyrics are not needed. That I will understand. And I do), but they just express his desire. So raw and emotional song, without cheap emotional style. And consider how long this song is, so many in it. For me, it became some kind of legend, same as with the rest of album.

Both accessible (for normal people) and masterpiece (for prog lovers, who will see behind perfect rock and find perfect prog). This is something which not much albums accomplished before. Interesting part is ending of this song (still (She's So Heavy) I'm talking about), where you can think at one point that it's about to end, but timer shows still tens of seconds to the end. And when the song is over, it doesn't seem like end, more like as it want to continue, but that couldn't happen. I see it as scream of heart-broken man, who's love is rejecting him, but he's trying over and over again to reach for her. And this fake end is when he's losing hope for reaching her feelings, but then he tries it again. And finally, loses. At least I see it like this. Then happy Here Comes the Sun and better average, but overall hated by me Because and Sun King. But track-to-track ratings is not only thing from which I have final rating. And after all, I'm already decided, I'm just justifying it.

There is also second side, but a lot of words were already written. And after all, everyone writes about 2nd epic, I'll just take some time. I mean, I'm not obliged to write about every track here. All I can say now is that if first side is 5(-) - 5(+), second one is 5(+) without doubts. You're looking on masterpiece man, from legendary cover art (beaten only by Sgt. Pepper), to last tricky song.
