It's been discussed on different incarnations of The Soapy many, many times before, I'm sure. I've not seen this discussion for a while but as I sit hear, approaching the final at work and listening to Abbey Road, I thought it might be a good idea to bring it up again.
So, Abbey Road. I'd always liked it, but never loved it. That's changed. It's such a fantastic record. Listening the the opening 4 tracks of the albums has given me a warm fuzzy feeling on this glum Friday.
For me, there isn't a single duff moment. Even the playful Maxwell's Silver Hammer & Octupusses Garden sound fantastic wedged between Come Together, Something, Oh Darling & I Want You (She's So Heavy).
Undoubtebly, the best track is actually the latter mentioned I Want You (She's So Heavy). It's dark and beautiful and rocking and funky, all in equal measure.
Actually, scratch what I said about there not being a duff moment, I could probably do without Sun King, but the rest is majestic, a fine piece of work; timeless and essential in every possible way.
It's been a while since an album has clicked for me like this, it's such an amazing feeling when it happens.
