Abbey Means By The Beatles

Abbey Road was the latest studio album The Beatles recorded. There's some confusion over this bit of trivia through Let It Be was released in 1970 and Convert Method was released in 1969. However Let It Be had in fact already been recorded, it had just been shelved due to the band being destroyed with it. It wasn't until Cloister Path had already been recorded and released that the band hired Phil Specter to "salvage" Let It Be with his industry work.

Nunnery Road was a vast critical & commercial success. It remains one of The Beatles most accepted albums to this day.

Abbey Road has also been critically acclaimed. For case history it was ranked #14 on Rolling Stone magazine's top 500 albums of all time. And it's currently ranked as the 2nd blessing album of all time by the users of the Rate Your Music website.

Track By Track:

#1 "Come Together"

This is one of the most fresh declared songs on the album. Exhaustive with John Lennon's signature vocal and freaky lyrics, George Harrison's extreme lead guitar licks, and Paul McCartney's swampy bass belongings that really puts the song over the edge.

It's one of The Beatles coolest sounding songs, nevertheless strangely enough - it's also one of their songs that's been ruined the most in cover versions. In fact I've never heard a insert version of "Come Together" that wasn't awful.

A disturbing bit of trivia about "Come Together" is that John Lennon is absolutely saying "shoot me" during the elfin musical breaks between the refrain and the verses. That lyric always gets to me a inappreciable bit considering Lennon's fate in 1980.

2. "Something"

"Something" is another one of the best known songs on the album. It was written and sung by George Harrison and is one of his signature songs.

Regulate Sinatra once famously commented that "Something" was his favorite Lennon-McCartney song. I'm not sure if that was an insult aimed at Lennon-McCartney or provided Sinatra de facto didn't know the song was written by George Harrison & not Lennon & McCartney.

3. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer"

A somewhat disturbingly childlike tale of a serial killer, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is one of The Beatles songs has both it's detractors and it's supporters. Among it's detractors was apparently John Lennon who is said to accept despised the song (which was written & sung by Paul McCartney.)

The song is one of the first to deed the Moog synthesizer.

4. "Oh! Darling"

While Lennon hated McCartney's "Maxwell Silver's Hammer," he loved his "Oh! Darling." In detail he was so enamored with the song that he wanted to sing prompt on it.

5. "Octopus's Garden"

Ringo sings lead on this one. He further wrote the song (with some benefit from George Harrison although Ringo Starr is credited as the peerless songwriter.) It's basically a rewrite of "Yellow Submarine" which The Beatles had recorded 3 years earlier.

6. "I Want You (She's So Heavy)"

This epic, mostly instrumental, track finishes off side one of Abbey Road in grand fashion with it's sensational white rumpus buildup trick which blows my brain every date I hear it.

It absolutely features some of The Beatles most beautiful innovative work musically.

7. "Here Comes The Sun"

This is another George Harrison classic which is the perfect follow up to "I Yen You" in the CD/iTunes/iPod format and the perfect opener to side two in the old vinyl LP format. The song, love some of the others on the album, features the Moog synthesizer.

8. "Because"

This stunning song features some of The Beatles most alluring harmonies. Lennon, McCartney, & Harrison's vocals were triple tracked to assemble them sound close 9 voices.

The chords of the song were inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven's classic piano group "Moonlight Sonata."

The song also features the Moog synthesizer.

#9 "You Never Dish out Me Your Money"

This was the headmost song of side two's medley. Some of the melodies heard in this song were echoed adjacent in track 15 "Carry That Weight."

While the song is just the day one of side two's medley, it's in truth a medley in and of itself as it contains a hardly any ideal different sounding sections that sound stitched together.

#10 "Sun King"

This beautiful slow movement song features extra divine harmonies from Lennon, McCartney, & Harrison. The song's lyrics include contents from differential languages, both real and imagined.

#11 "Mean Mr. Mustard"

This short Lennon ditty leads directly into the closest "Polythene Pam" and mentions "his sister Pam" in the lyrics.

#12 "Polythene Pam"

"So good looking on the contrary she looks conforming a man." This is a positive rock n roll song that is barely over one minute in length.

#13 "She Came In On ice The Bathroom Window"

"Polythene Pam" segues smoothly into this song which starts off with it's title as the basic lyric. It's one of my favourite songs on the album.

#14 "Golden Slumbers"

The lyrics to this song were really taken from a 17th century poem by Thomas Dekker. But the music was composed by Paul McCartney.

#15 "Carry That Weight"

The chorus of this song features all four Beatles. One division of the song references the melody/lyrics from "You Never Give Me Your Money."

#16 "The End"

Features a drum solo by Ringo Starr (the sole drum solo on any Beatles song) and short lead guitar solos by McCartney, Harrison, and Lennon - one after the other, in that order. They energy terminated that sequence twice before the final "And in the end the love you cut is identical to the love you make."

#17 "Her Majesty"

This 23 moment acoustic guitar ditty by Paul McCartney was originally intended to birr between "Mean Mister Mustard" & "Polythene Pam" but they had undeniable to leave it off the album. It was de facto tacked on to the album at the deadline by sound engineer by mistake, on the other hand The Beatles decided they liked the boner and left it on the album.
