The Beatles - Abbey Road | Album Review

*The Beatles - Abbey Road*
Released on September 26, 1969, "Abbey Road" is the final album recorded by the legendary English rock band, The Beatles². Named after the road where they did most of their recording, the album is a testament to the band's musical prowess and innovative spirit¹.
The album is a melodic and inventive masterpiece, crammed with musical delights⁵. It is considered the best work by The Beatles since "Sgt. Pepper" (1967)⁵. The album combines a variety of styles including old-line rock 'n' roll ("Oh! Darling"), low blues ("I Want You"), high camp ("Maxwell’s Silver Hammer"), and folk ("Here Comes the Sun")⁵. The instrumental textures are uncluttered by overdubbing, showcasing the band's raw talent⁵.
The album's unity is best illustrated by the tightly knit and unpretentious way it combines these diverse styles⁵. The album also marked a time for George Harrison to shine, with his song "Something" getting significant radio play⁵.
The album cover, featuring The Beatles walking across the zebra crossing outside of Abbey Road Studios, is one of the most famous and imitated of all time².
