The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the first side's writing, John Lennon's hard-rocking, "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" make the strongest impression. A series of song fragments edited together in suite form dominates side two; its portentous, touching, official close ("Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"/"The End") is nicely undercut, in typical Beatles fashion, by Paul McCartney's cheeky "Her Majesty," which follows. --Rickey Wright

Summary: 20th Century Masterpiece
Comment: This is an album I have been listening to my whole life, basically. Occasionally I see it there in my itunes list and fire it up again. Every time I do, I am re-amazed at how good it is. A 20th century masterpiece.

Summary: And In The End ---- MASTERPIECE
Comment: First off how anyone could give this album lower then four stars is beyond me. You are either just a Beatle Basher or just have no clue when it comes to music in any way. This sadly was the end for the lads. All four already going seperate ways and friendships with each other long gone. Somehow they got together and did it PERFECT. As much as I like the The Beatles (White Album) it is also very broke. The white album without a doubt is just four different guys doing their own thing with help from others, sometimes even members of the group. This was truly the end and even though that being said somehow this album brings back all The Beatles together. In typical Beatles style each album different from any other, this album also holds true. All four playing together like a GREAT BAND AGAIN. Great love songs in their style like Something but also the pain of You Never Give Me Your Money, Paul talking about the now rotting Apple. But pain or pleasure this album is pure BEATLES that had matured for that time in 1969. You will not hear the Fab songs from those great early days like I Want To Hold Your Hand and She Loves You but again the matured Beatles with songs like Something. A song that even Frank Sinatra stated was the best song that Lennon & McCartney had ever written. (For those who may not know Something was written by George Harrison). But either way a very mature Beatles sang Come Toegther even as they were falling apart. You would not believe that after playing this album which you will over and over again. /no neck
