ABBEY ROAD
Come Together
Abbey Road could well be the group's best effort since Revolver (1966) and is actually a more coherent, rounded work than Sgt. Pepper's Lonley Hearts Club Band (1967). It also represents some of the very last music they made together. Abbey Road's second half, especially, amounts to a fittingly superb finale to pop music's greatest back catalogue. Two of the best remembered tracks, unusually, were from George Harrison, "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun". "Come Together" was John Lennon at his most inspired, although "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Octopus's Garden" (Paul McCartney and Ringo starr respectively) are not so durable. The most remarkable section, however, runs from "You Never Give Me Your Money" to the album's end - a sequence of half songs, riffs and compressed one minute epics that coalesce with symphonic logic and breathtaking momentum.
