Advantages: The Beatles at their best
Disadvantages: Your a Rolling Stones fan ?!

Advantages: Almost Everything
Disadvantages: Octopus's Garden (In Parts)

...creation and the recording of Abbey Road has been well documented, with the group coming off what they saw as the failure of the Let It Be sessions. From this they decided that with the tensions within the group and the general unrest, most notably from George Harrison, they would try and create one final album that would return to some of the roots of their earlier albums, although this became somewhat subverted throughout the recording process. ...

Advantages: Their finest work
Disadvantages: It was their last work

Abbey Road, released on September 26, 1969, was the last album recorded by the Beatles, and although Let It Be hit the shelves in 1970, that album was recorded before Abbey Road. During their legendary career as a band, the Beatles recorded several albums which could be described as masterpieces, but in my opinion, Abbey Road tops the list. Abbey Road presents the listener with a virtual audio montage of music that is as varied as anything the ... Read review

Advantages: The songs man, the songs
Disadvantages: It heralded the end of an epoch

Abbey Road was my first Beatles album and is also my favourite. It is a true masterpiece, a work of which I never tire. I first bought my own copy up in January 1998, and I regret not having one for the nineteen years of my life that preceded it. Since I was a late Beatles developer, I was determined to catch up and I’m very glad that I did. I have become convinced that there are certain sounds that benefit the soul, certain melodies that, once ... Read review

Advantages: Good music and all that.
Disadvantages: rubbish bits

What do you get when four guys cross a road? ........... One of the most famous album covers of all time it would seem. Low Standards ah-hoy! Abbey Road is the last album the Beatles recorded together though not the last released, as thus it seems to show signs of the deterioration of the relationships in the band. John Lennon in particular appears to have totally lost interest in the band. His grit is sadly missing at times when it's needed to ... Read review

Advantages: Flawless
Disadvantages: One or two ish songs

...downright silly way is that Abbey Road is very good. Good enough to inspire me to right another very nearly, but not quite, wholly unremarkable opinion. Lucky you! This, despite the fact that it was released before the album Let It Be, was the last recorded work of the Beatles. And a hell of a way to go out as well, this is probably their finest work. Except for those other two. But seriously folks, this is one of the greatest albums ever, and ... Read review

Advantages: It's by the Beatles.
Disadvantages: The Beatles weren't always perfect.

...George Harrison, whose contributions to Abbey Road, "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun", prove that he could match Lennon and McCartney as a songwriter, if not quite as a prolific songwriter. Like the Beatles themselves, Abbey Road is flawed but fabulous. It has its longueurs but it has its lusciousness too, and I can't think of any other band who could have written music worthy of that cover: classically simple but with unending depths. ...

Advantages: Great songs, do you need anything else?
Disadvantages: None

Abbey Road was the last Beatles recorded studio album. Chronologically it wasnt their last, with Let It Be scooping that honour. Legend has it that each Beatle couldnt stand the sight of the other Beatle and the issue of who managed the band started to envelop their world. It seems like they had a lot on their plate but it was in this atmosphere that they produced some of their best music. Unlike some of the other records, apart from Revolver, ... Read review

Advantages: Some classic tracks
Disadvantages: Sounds a bit like it was thrown together

"Abbey Road" was the Beatles' final recording, the last time all four Fabs got together in the studio, the final nail in the coffin, so to speak. It's common knowledge that things were not going well between them, the four were going their separate ways… and I have to say that this shows in the music. The album cover caused all kinds of rumours about Paul being dead (all the signs were there - his bare feet, the car registration number...?!?), ... Read review

Advantages: Hey, it's the BEATLES!
Disadvantages: none

...as his ‘favourite “Lennon/McCartney” tune’), Abbey Road comes as the Beatles’ official final album. Although Let It be, with its documentary movie feature, didn’t came along until the following year after this album’s release – The Beatles’ Abbey Road incidentally is the particular disc which the band have finished intended for a full length LP album release before head-honcho Beatle-man Paul McCartney declared his resignation from the group, that ...

Advantages: It's Good
Disadvantages: It's Bad

This CD is really one of the better CDs out there. It sort of stinks as a whole that everybody doesn't love it. Everybody should try and obtain this CD. I hope everybody who buys CDs, will please go out and spend their good money on this one. This review used to be better. But I cannot write reviews for free.

Advantages: Wonderful songwriting, great harmonies
Disadvantages: None

Amid all of the stories of the group breaking up, with personal relationships completely breaking down, somehow The Beatles managed to conjure up one more great album before they called it a day (Let it Be falls slightly short of great) This is the most complete set of songs since Revolver, stripping the songs back down to their basic structure (Come Together) without all the technical trimmings of Sgt Pepper and the White Album. Harrison really ... Read review
