Full review
This was one probably The Beatles fourth best album after 'Revolver', 'The White Album' and Sgt. Pepper'. It was a great way for the world's best-ever rock group to end things.
'Come Together' starts the album off, and the title really gives the game away as to The Beatles state of mind. A gritty song, with John's memorable gutsy vocal. A song much admired by the indie crowd down the years.
'Something' and 'Here Comes The Sun' were proof of George Harrison's burgeoning talent. Sweet melodies, and the best tracks on the album. One can only wonder what George & John, and George & Paul might have come up with.
Paul's 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' grows on you, while Macca's 'Oh! Darling' is one of the heaviest things Paul ever did with the Fab Four.
'Octopus's Garden' is a lovely Ringo song. His lilting voice was sadly underused in The Beatles.
'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' is hypnotically repetitive, and you don't want it to end.
'Because' and 'Sun King' have a touch of Beach Boys harmonies about them. 'Because' being particularly wonderful.
Paul's 'You Never Give Me Your Money' starts of in sad mode, but changes into a more uplifting song.
'Mean Mr Mustard', 'Polythene Pam', and 'She Came In Through The Bathroom Window' are three loosely connected pieces. Fun.
'Golden Slumbers' has Macca's voice at its moving best, accompanied by sweeping strings, followed by 'Carry That Weight'. 'The End' comes over as a fun-filled jam session.
A great way to say goodbye.
