Free Music Review: This Album gets such a bad rep
Hit: 5 Stars
And i dont really know why. It has some of the beatles better songs on it, and its a pretty cohesive album on the whole. yes, it does seem that spector can be accused of overproduction; it would have undoubtedly been better if martin was producing. dont pass this album up. its essential to anyone's catalog.Free Music Review: Let It Be

A comparacion de las grandes obras beatles como STG. PEPPER, REVOLVER, RUBBER SOUL, THE WHITE ALBUM y ABBEY ROAD, siento que este se quedo muy atras; lo siento muy incompleto, como uno de esos discos a los que les falto un mejor trabajo... y mas canciones (pudieron haber incluido DON'T LET ME DOWN, la cual aparece en la pelicula); por lo demas, no niego que es un buen disco, pero es obvio que le falta mucho para llegar a niveles como el de los anteriores mencionados; talvez se deba a que los mismos Beatles no pusieron mucho esfuerzo en su elaboracion, ni siquiera fue producido por el gran George Martin (no olvidemos que fue una epoca de enojos, disgustos y disgregacion para los fab-four)... creo que Phil Spector no supo asimilar la "atmosfera-beatle"; la mayor prueba fue lo que le hizo a THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD (algo que Paul nunca le perdonara); a pesar de todo contiene grandes piezas como LET IT BE, GET BACK, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE y una linda cancion de george, I ME MINE; indispensable para todo beatlemaniaco, pero talvez uno de los ultimos a ser conseguido... y no dejo de sentir melancolia al escucharlo, si, TALVEZ TODO TIEMPO PASADO FUE MEJOR.Free Music Review: Still A Classic, It Grows In Stature Through the Years

No group should have as much talent as the Beatles had. It was nearly impossible for them to screw up any project they had their heart in. They came as close as they could to messing up this one, but they didn't succeed. Phil Spector's sweetened versions of "Let It Be" and "The Long And Winding Road" earned Paul McCartney's ire (John Lennon was the one who had the idea to bring Spector in), but the fact is, this is a classic just like the Beatles' other great work. Billy Preston gained immortality with his piano accompaniment.Free Music Review: A VERY SPECIAL BEATLES ALBUM !

Let It Be has taken a lot of criticism over the years, but it's my personal favorite of all The Beatles' albums. The rooftop concert is priceless (it's the only live performance of the band after the 1966 concert at San Francisco's Candlestick Park). In fact, the rest of the album was recorded live, too, in the studio.
It all starts with a short announcement by John Lennon and "Two of Us", a song Paul McCartney wrote about himself and his wife, Linda. He and John harmonize like old friends, and it's a simple and warm beginning. Next, John rocks "I Dig a Pony" with an inspired vocal performance, then picks up his acoustic guitar for the surreal and contented "Across the Universe". George Harrison gets his turn with "I Me Mine", his comment on selfishness in the world. The song starts slow with a blues guitar lick played over a church organ, and has a raucious chorus with George and Paul screaming "I, me, me, mine". Then John goes into "Dig It", a short interlude that goes nowhere, really. Paul then launches into "Let it Be", the inspirational, gospel-tinged title track. It's a great song, and Paul's vocal performance is perfect. Next the group sings a short ditty about a Liverpool streetwalker, "Maggie Mae". Then it's up on the roof for "I've Got a Feeling". With Paul and John trading lead vocals, it's a Beatles song unlike any other, and it rocks, too. Still on the roof top, they break into "One After 909, a Lennon-McCartney song written when they were teenagers, still wearing black leather jackets in the 1950's. John and Paul sing like they're having the time of their lives, and they are. With it's old time rock n' roll phrases, and piano rolls, this song's a blast. Back in the studio Paul is on piano for "The Long and Winding Road", one of the world's most loved songs. Paul was furious when Phil Spector added strings and female voices to the song, but the production turned it from a decent song into an epic one. George then plays "For You Blue", a nice acoustic blues ("Elmore James is got nothing on this baby") with John playing bottleneck slide guitar ("Go, Johnny, go!"). Then it's back up on the roof for the closer, "Get Back", a hard rocker sung by Paul (John later said Paul was looking at Yoko every time he sang the words, "Get Back!") and John playing the lead guitar lines between Paul's vocal phrases. It's one of The Beatles' hardest rockers, and a perfect end to this very special album.
Let It Be wasn't an easy album to make for The Beatles, but it's an album that has some of their greatest songs. The live aspect of the project and Phil Spector's production make the album special and unique. It's also a documentary of four lads from Liverpool, England at the end of a rock n' roll career that changed the world.
