Abbey Road is the last album made by the Beatles. It is also my favourite of all other Beatles albums so it's the album which I listened to more than any other. That is why I am confident of writing a review on it.
The first half of the album consists of individual efforts and results in songs of varied nature. This adds to the beauty of the album. Most of the songs in the 1st half is impressive and show cases the talents of Beatles both as individuals and as a band.
The amazing second half of the album commonly called as Abbey Road Blues or Medley is what that makes this album unique in the Beatles impressive catalogue .Medley is basically a set of many small songs that in itself is too small and brief to be put individually. All these small but brilliant songs together form a great medley. The Medley itself can be divided into two. The Second one starts with Golden Slumbers and ends with the end. The End- virtually the last song (please forget her majesty for some time) ends the album in a splendid fashion. It features a drum solo by Ringo Starr which is followed by guitar solos of the three Beatles. The song finally ends with Paul McCartney singing the following line “And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make”. That is the best line sung by the Beatles. It also signals the end of the swinging 60s.
Abbey Road is a must buy album for any classic rock fan and a must listen album for all the rock/pop listeners. There are many great bands that after peaking start declining. But for The Beatles it did not happen. They peaked in their last album.
The stand out tracks for me is Something, Come together, I want you, OH Darling and Abbey Road Medley part 2.
