Rubber Soul and Revolver good picks

'Abbey Road' is an uneven, erratic album. Yes, the second side soars and is magnificent throughout. But side one goes straight downhill after the brilliant one-two opening shot of "Come Together" and "Something", both of which are terrific. But then..."Maxwell's Silver Hammer" may very well be the worst song the Beatles ever recorded. Not a good idea to try to make a cheery song about a serial killer. "Oh! Darling" plods, and McCartney's lead vocal is nowhere near as good as the similar type of vocal performances he displayed on things like his cover of "Long Tall Sally", and the originals "I'm Down" and "Helter Skelter", all of which were much more effective. "Octopuss' Garden" is an inferior, overly cutesy remake of "Yellow Submarine". And "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is lyrically embarrassing, and that repetitive main riff just goes on-and-on to the point of redundancy.

But then side two comes along, and all is right in the world again. 'Abbey Road' is certainly not a bad album by any means. The problem with it is that it's a B+ album where most Beatles albums are A's.

Haha, my god



"8. “Oh listen to that, Mal!” - Midway through ‘Polythene Pam’, Paul shouts “Yeah!”, John shouts “Great!” and, at the end of the guitar solo, he adds the above line, addressed to road manager Mal Evans. They make recording sound funny, whatever the politics of the band were at the time."



Great record anyway but what the hell man! This article!
