Free Music Review: Long And Winding Road
Hit: 5 Stars
Abbey Road by The Beatles,1969,almost the end of the road for the group,This is the Beatles final album,leaving behind a legacy mechanically unmatched,surpassing the word classic which is an understatement,Frank Sinatra once said,Something,was the best song of the decade,nobody was inclined to give ol' blue eyes an argument,if anybody knew about songs it would be Sinatra,speaking of songs on Abbey Road,there's too many to talk about,but a good example of the classical touch,The Beatles showed the world,the timeless,Sun King,revealing the harmonies,that was always self evident in the early days,and probably the main ingredient for their success,along with the brilliant songwriting. Another notable song to mention,the McCartney ballad,Oh Darling!,McCartney showcasing his full potential as an established singer,rehearsing this song for weeks breaking in the harshness in his voice for this recording,and this recording,Abbey Road,a true timeless masterpiece,and a unique cover to match the title,The Beatles,music is like a fine wine aging with time.Free Music Review: On a different level...

Until about 5 years ago, some friends and I would rent a house every summer down the Jersey shore. About 8 or 9 of us would check the house parties in Belmar, then hit all the clubs including Bar A, DJ's, The Parker House etc.
One night there was a concert at the Garden State Arts Center featuring The Black Crowes with special guest Jimmy Page of the classic-rock band Led Zeppelin. Being that Page is possibly the greatest guitarist of all time, a friend and I decided to check out the show.
The Black Crowes had solid hits including 'Remedy' and 'Salvation' recognizable to most fans. But the thing that struck me most about that evening was the rather large difference in music quality between the Zeppelin classics, and even the best Crowes' music. The vintage stuff was simply on another level playing songs like 'In The Evening' and 'Ten Years Gone'... Which brings me to the point; that superordinary class of music rings true on the Beatle's album Abbey Road. It is clearly superior music to what other bands are able to play.
Now, I'm not the biggest Beatle's fan out there, but strangely enough, during the 1970's a teacher at our rather conservative Catholic school talked the nuns into taking the 6th, 7th and 8th graders to see Beatlemania in NYC. If I remember correctly, everything was cool until they showed that big, hippie-momma with the oversized mammaries nursing twins au naturel on the big-screen.
Anyway, there's been a lot of talk between Beatle's fans about which album is their cr?me de la cr?me. Is it Sgt. Pepper? The White Album? Or maybe even Let it Be? I'll throw my dusty cowboy hat into the ring and say Abbey Road is hands-down the finest album ever recorded by the Fab Four. Every fan of rock music deserves to have it in their collection. It's THAT good. Considering it was their second to last recording, it makes you wonder what might have been had they stayed together another ten years.

Eevn though I am a die hard Thrash/Death Metal fan I have am a huge fan of Classic Rock. The Beatles are my favorite band of all time, and this album shows why. Flawless writing and playing. If you do not own this album you need help.Free Music Review: Swan song
Hit: 5 Stars
Following the relative failure of the "Let It Be" project, John, Paul, George, and Ringo were able to get back together to make music one last time, and named their final LP, released in the fall of 1969, for the studios in which they had done all their recording--somehow, an appropriate gesture. The late George Harrison's songwriting was peaking just as the Fab Four were disintegrating as a group--he contributed the album's two best songs, and, with "Something," finally got the A-side of a Beatles single. The second side's medley is a masterful interweaving of varied song fragments, none really strong enough to stand on its own, into a rich musical tapestry--like master chefs creating a gourmet meal out of leftovers in the refrigerator. "Her Majesty" is a brief anticlimax; the group, knowing it was dying, didn't want anyone crying at the end. Down came the curtain. Free Music Review: Can't Look Away...

So I was just idly surfing Amazon, reading reviews and whatnot when I decided to search the Beatles' catalogue. Abbey Road is the first you get when you punch the group's name in. The reviews, naturally this being the most popular band ever, were mostly positive. Positive reviews tend to bore me, so I decided to look at the negative (1 star) reviews instead, just for a laugh. But the thing is I've always been a bit insecure about my love of the Beatles. There is always a voice in me questioning "what if it is all hype? What if there's really nothing spectacular about them and you're just following along with the rock critics and fans?". Some of the 1 star reviews brought these feelings back as I tried to recollect what this album sounded like. It really didn't seem spectacular at all. The songwriting seemed superficial and the instrumentation seemed mediocre. Logic forbade me to continue to praise them.
So then I put the boys to the test and grabbed this album and gave it a listen (I'm listening to it now actually), and all I can say is, well, I like it. Alot. There is a certain charm in the melodies and lyrics, often times playful but somehow epic, even meaningful in an insane way. The Beatles inhabit a pop music dreamland on this album. Everything sounds perfectly placed, all the parts nuanced. It always sounds oh so cheesy when I think of it afterwards, but when I've got a Beatles album on, I am inside it and I am happy. A cheerful trance of sorts.
I'm sure once this album is over and a few days have passed I will again wonder why I let the Beatles fill space in my CD collection. I may even regret writing this review, or this 5 star rating, then I'll listen to them again.
