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

The Last Hurrah

You have the sense, after LET IT BE, that the Beatles knew this would probably be the last time they would record together and really tried to make this one shine. It shows. From "Come Together" & Lennon's other powerful tune -- "I Want You, She's So Heavy" --to Harrison's "Something" (which Frank Sinatra called one of the most beautiful love songs ever done -- and a tribute by George to his then wife Patti Boyd, as would be Eric Clapton's "Layla" & "Wonderful Tonight") this album has no real misfires. From "Sun King" to "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" and "Golden Slumbers" to "Carry that Weight" to "The End" (where John, Paul & George have guitar solos) it packs a pop punch that is still potent nearly 40 years later. Other notables Paul ode to old rock "Oh Darling!" and Ringo's fanciful "Octopus' Garden". Come one, come all. Pleasant time is guaranteed for all! This final LP would always be the biggest seller of their seven year run.

And In The End ---- MASTERPIECE

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
