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
- Come Together
- Something
- Maxwell's Silver Hammer
- Oh! Darling
- Octopus's Garden
- I Want You (She's So Heavy)
- Here Comes the Sun
- Because
- You Never Give Me Your Money
- Sun King
- Mean Mr. Mustard
- Polythene Pam
- She Came in Through the Bathroom Window
- Golden Slumbers
- Carry That Weight
- End
- Her Majesty

- Abbey Road
- Really good album. recommended as part of beatle album collection. songs maxwell silver hammer and i want you (she's so heavy) are especially good More reviews
- A Must Own
- If you don't like this, then you most likely have not heard it. So what are you waiting for - buy this today! More reviews
- Classic Beatles
- What's to say? This is one of several of The Beatles' best albums from the prime of their career. It was produced after their "Top-40" years when they were dedicated to creativity. More reviews
- Mostly great songs; great Production
- Love most of the album then and now. Didn't really understand, though, how much coulda been used elsewhere (like the "White Album"), and how much - not alot - came from other places: Come Together with its' Chuck Berry reference really driving the whole thing; Something, impossible without James Taylor's classic; Oh Darling, yet More reviews
- The Group Pulls It Together For One Last Masterpiece.
- After doing their last gig on the roof of Abbey Road studios following their "Let It Be" sessions, the group gave it one more go before breaking up for good. One of the reasons for the slight failure of "Let It Be" is that the Beatles weren't really functioning as the Beatles anymore. The album was enjoyable but also very sloppy. More reviews
