Amazon.com essential recording
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

 You Really Had To Be There August 21, 2008
Todd D. Alt (Ohio)
A thousand reviews? I only can echo the majority. This is simply another masterpiece from the greatest band that ever cut a record. These four were in a class by themselves. The Beatles and then there were all the others. Abbey Road blew everyone away when it came out and still is an experience and not just a set of songs put together for listening to while you run the vacumn cleaner. I always think of some of the assertions that have been made about Shakespeare when I take in the entire catlog of the Beatles. It seems impossible that one small rock combo could come together and create art the way they did the same way that so many people can't imagine one person writing as many classics as Shakespeare did. During the time of the Beatles, it was one set of songs after another, album after album of music that cut a new path a little deeper each time. Abbey Road was like a non-stop freight train and a must for anybody that can grasp the significance of this time period and the effect of this music on what was happening.

R. Webb (u.s.a.)
Abbey Road by The Beatles,1969,almost the end of the road for the group,This is the Beatles final album,leaving behind a legacy mechanically unmatched,surpassing the word classic which is an understatement,Frank Sinatra once said,Something,was the best song of the decade,nobody was inclined to give ol' blue eyes an argument,if anybody knew about songs it would be Sinatra,speaking of songs on Abbey Road,there's too many to talk about,but a good example of the classical touch,The Beatles showed the world,the timeless,Sun King,revealing the harmonies,that was always self evident in the early days,and probably the main ingredient for their success,along with the brilliant songwriting. Another notable song to mention,the McCartney ballad,Oh Darling!,McCartney showcasing his full potential as an established singer,rehearsing this song for weeks breaking in the harshness in his voice for this recording,and this recording,Abbey Road,a true timeless masterpiece,and a cool cover to match the title,The Beatles are like a fine wine aging with time.
On a different level... August 6, 2008

Every year a bunch of friends and I used to rent a house out for the summer down the Jersey shore. Approximately 8 or 9 of us would check out the myriad house parties in Belmar, then spend the evening hitting all the clubs including Bar A, DJ's, The Parker House etc.
One memory that sticks out in my mind is of a concert at the Garden State Arts Center featuring The Black Crowes with special guest Jimmy Page of the classic rock band Led Zeppelin. Being that the venue is close to the shore, and Page is possibly the greatest guitarist of all time, a friend and I decided to check the show out.
The Black Crowes had always been a quality band with popular hits recognizable to most fans of the genre. But the thing that struck me most about that night was the difference in music quality between the Zeppelin classics played by the blended-band, and the Crowes' best music. The classic stuff was simply on another level which brings me to the point - the same quality is true of the Beatle's album Abbey Road. It's clearly superior music than most other bands are able to play.
I'm not the biggest Beatle's fan out there, but I am familiar with their history. Funny enough, during the 1970's my 7th grade lay teacher at a pretty strict Catholic school talked the nuns into taking the 6th, 7th and 8th grade classes on a trip to New York City to see Beatlemania. If i remember correctly everything was cool until they showed that big-busted momma nursing twins au naturel.
Anyway, there's been a lot of talk between hardcore Beatle's fans about which album is best. Is it Sgt. Pepper? The White Album? Or maybe even Let it Be? I'll throw my hat into the ring and say Abbey Road is hands-down the finest album ever recorded by the Fab Four. Every fan of rock music should have it in their collection. It's THAT good. Their second to last album has it all, shows them at their musically-driven best and makes you wonder what might have been had they stayed together another ten years.
Its the Beatles what else do I have to say? August 1, 2008

Eevn though I am a die hard Thrash/Death Metal fan I have am a huge fan of Classic Rock. The Beatles are my favorite band of all time, and this album shows why. Flawless writing and playing. If you do not own this album you need help.

Steelers fan (Ashtabula, OH USA)
Following the relative failure of the "Let It Be" project, John, Paul, George, and Ringo were able to get back together to make music one last time, and named their final LP, released in the fall of 1969, for the studios in which they had done all their recording--somehow, an appropriate gesture. The late George Harrison's songwriting was peaking just as the Fab Four were disintegrating as a group--he contributed the album's two best songs, and, with "Something," finally got the A-side of a single. The second side's medley is a masterful interweaving of varied song fragments, none really strong enough to stand on its own, into a rich musical tapestry--like master chefs creating a gourmet meal out of leftovers in the refrigerator. "Her Majesty" is a brief anticlimax; the group, knowing it was dying, didn't want anyone crying at the end. Down came the curtain.
