Negative Positive
Title: Breaking Up Is Hard to Do.
Review: "Let it Be" was originally titled "Get Back" and was slated to be released prior to "Abbey Road." But those plans were eventually canned, and they instead pushed the record to a spring 1970 release and named it after their concert film. This is quite possibly my least favorite Beatles album, but even a record as flawed as "Let it Be" has its incredible moments. We all know the title track and "The Long and Winding Road," both of which deservedly shot to No. 1 on the charts. But what makes this album worth a spin is Lennon's beautiful "Across the Universe" and George Harrison's "I Me Mine," which, in my mind, are two underrated Beatles gems. The group went kaput the year this album came out, and while "Let it Be" sounds somewhat disjointed and unfinished (others even take aim at the production by Phil Spector), it's still has a couple of bright spots that remind us why they are the world's best pop group.
Is the review positive or negative?
