stoutfellowAlbum Title: Abbey Road, The Beatles
Why I Bought It: Completism. I have most of the Beatles' albums - all but four of the ones produced before they broke up.
What I Like (Fun): "Octopus's Garden". Just silly.
What I Like (Joyous): "Here Comes the Sun". George Harrison at his optimistic best.
What I Like (Sweet): "Something". Another Harrison. Hmm....
What I'm Ambivalent About (Bloody): "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". A song about a serial killer. Only the sheer over-the-top quality redeems it. (I wouldn't sweat it, if it were not for the existence of "Run for Your Life" and "Norwegian Wood" in the Beatles' oeuvre.)
Overall: Some decent stuff, but this isn't my favorite Beatles album. (I'm going to have to keep an eye out: is it really that I give thumbs up to George and Ringo and thumbs down to John?)
