Free Music Notes for Let It Be
Free Music Review: "You and I have memories..."
Hit: 5 Stars
The Beatles last studio album, Let it Be is quite catchy and special even though it's considered their messiest work ever! I didn't know what to expect but I adore this album, just as good as The White Album, Abbey Road, and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. George Harrison's two tracks I Me Mine and For You Blue are my favorite on Let it Be. The best track is Two of Us, with John and Paul sharing vocals, a classic! Some tracks are throwaways like Dig It and Maggie Mae, the songs released on this album are some of their best hits like Get Back and the title track. Nevermind the harsh reviews, I highly recommend this pop/rock masterpiece. Enjoy!Free Music Review: Even 'They' could blow it
Hit: 1 Stars
With the type of career they had it's easy to overlook this abomination but still it stains. No one really cares about Mcartney's emotional problems while recording this album. The guys really needed some curly fries, hot dogs and beer and a good listen to this album. Then they would have burnt the masters. I know people might want to flame me but I challenge any one person to tell me this is their favourite Beatles long player? or that this any more than 10% as good as Revolver. Look past your love for the artist and see this long player for what it is.Free Music Review: Better than the remake
Hit: 5 Stars
This original (like most originals) is much better than the remake. Honestly, some Beatle stuff they should just leave alone and stop trying to make more money off us poor suckers. I especially like the mixing of their voices along with the music, and the wonderful ending with John's voice (I think it's John) saying, "and I hope we pass the audition" is just too priceless, especially knowing it is the last release of their career.
Buy it with the knowledge you will enjoy every song.
Free Music Review: Three major hits
Hit: 4 Stars
Just ask a trivia question: "Name a rock album with three Number 1 hits. To make it easier to guess, band members considered this album a failure". Certainly you know the answer. At the same time, it is still a four stars production. Quality of the songs is superb, just to mention the "Long and Winding Road", which has become a karaoke favorite for so many. Paul's voice shines on this one just like on "Get Back". He really could do wonders with both ballads and rockers. George has fun playing blues and John dreams about the "Universe".
I agree with all reviewers who like Phil Spector's version instead of the "Naked" one. "Naked" truly makes the album exposed while Spector's female choirs (a first on any Beatles album) and orchestras add a very needed polish and substance to otherwise modest production. Another proof that George Martin was a badly desired but absent when making "Let It Be".
Free Music Review: McCartney's Last Hurrah as a Beatle
Hit: 3 Stars
Let It Be is certainly the most disjointed Beatles LP from the original catalog. It was to be McCartney's last great songwriting effort as a Beatle for an album that never had a concept. By now everyone knows that the LP was cobbled together from 30 days' worth of rehearsals initially intended to precede a live concert for TV. It was decided that some new songs would be performed at that concert and Let It Be captures some of the new material they worked on. It is clear from the quality of the songs that only McCartney was fully invested in this effort, writing some of his best material as a Beatle including Get Back, Let It Be, The Long And Winding Road and the folk ballad Two Of Us. Other than Lennon's Don't Let Me Down, which failed to make the LP but was released separately as a single, the other songs didn't even come close. Unfortunately for Harrison, his best work during the sessions was left on the cutting room floor, so to speak, only to be revived again for his first solo LP All Things Must Pass. (He would make up for this on Abbey Road, however.) It will be forever debated as to whether Phil Spector's treatment of the multitrack tapes was an improvement or not. Don't render an opinion, however, until you've heard the first and third acetates of the Get Back album as conceived by Glyn Johns and George Martin. Though much rougher in execution, it preserves the spontaneity and freshness of a live rehearsal better than Spector's effort.
