Sloppy in conception, and even sometimes in the playing, Let It Be often gets a bad rap. Unfairly, as it's often as charming, well written, and (oh yeah) rocking as the Beatles' "better" albums; it's also more outright fun than Abbey Road, the masterpiece it followed into the stores. With Lennon and McCartney working together on the perfect "I've Got a Feeling," "Two of Us," and "Dig a Pony," it's hard to believe these guys were about to implode. --Rickey Wright

Let It Be December 28, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

By the time this album came out the Beatles broke up and were finished, and would never reunite again. The recording sessions for Let It Be were finished before 1970 and were recorded the same time during the sessions for the album, "Abbey Road". By 1969 The Beatles had wanted to get back to there roots like many other bands at the time. Let It Be is like the part two to Abbey Road being just as good, except for some reason Let It Be gets a really bad rap though its a good album.

The album was mainly recorded live and some songs recorded on there famous rooftop peformance, the songs that were recorded live from that were, "I Dig A Pony", "One After 909", and "Get Back". Let It Be is filled with great songs and an album that should be bought by all Beatles fans everywhere so the fans can hear how it all ended.

Their worst December 24, 2008
The Beatles were pretty much over by the preceding album (White Album) which consisted mostly of solo performances with some perfunctory overdubs. This album was their attempt to recapture their "roots" but they could not rekindle the innocence of bygone years. Only Billy Preston's keyboard work redeems this otherwise slapped-together effort. Put it this way: if this album had been a demo by some unknowns, no record company would have touched it.

we all wanted more... November 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This was the last Beatles album that you could buy if you bought them all sequentially. This was the first Beatles album that I bought as it was released because I was 11 years old at the time. I love them all and I love The Beatles more than any other musicians and this is still my favorite from them. Sure, they revolutionized what could be done in a studio, but this is essentially a "Live" album by the greatest rock and roll band there ever was. They had already announced their breakup by the time this hit the record stores, so we all knew that this was it.
Every song is up there amongst my favorite Beatles tracks, not considering Maggie May or Dig It of course, but I love them also. Just Great music...

Wonderful and Not Over-played October 18, 2008
Easily the most disregarded album amongst the Beatles' body of work, Let it Be contains some of the bands best tracks, even if they were basically solo efforts. Although it was recorded prior to Abbey Road, Let it Be sat shelved for about a year before it finally saw the light of day. The story goes that Paul and John were belligerent with each other during the making of this album but that didn't seem to effect the quality of music that they were able to contribute together. "Across the Universe" and "Let it Be" stand up as two of the best tracks the group ever recorded, and "Two of Us" is one of the albums wonderful hidden gems. Phil Spector's production has been criticized many times over because of his use of strings and his (many feel) innapropriate (for the Beatles) wall of sound. However, most of the original music was unchanged. It was clear by the time Let it Be hit stores, the Beatles were quite irritated by the restraints that the band was placing on them as individual musicians. All of this being said, in no way do I consider Let it Be to be second-rate in any way when compared to other Beatles releases. In fact, I consider it to be one of the greatest albums of the 1970s, which is no small feat, considering what a revolution in musical styles was soon approaching.

Some Really Great Songs September 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I'm not sure why so many people consider this to be The Beatles' one sub-par album. Can I point out how great the songs "Across The Universe," "Get Back," "I Me Mine," "Dig A Pony," and "Let It Be" are? "I Me Mine" is probably my favorite of Harrison's songs, melodic and angst-y and full of meaning. "Across The Universe" is one of Lennon's best (I think "A Day In The Life" is the only one I like better). Also, "Two Of Us" is pretty good, and "The Long And Winding Road" is a major hit (though not one of my favorites).

So I'm not understanding where this album fails. Like every Beatles album, this album has more than it's share of greatness and winning songs.
