Any fans of the "Let It Be" album by The Beatles? How has it held up after 50 years? What do you think of the "Let It Be Naked" album? Have any of you ever seen the "Let It Be" movie? Do you plan on seeing the new "Let It Be" film by Peter Jackson in September?
Although it's sometimes flawed and ragged in execution and playing, it's still a pretty good album. Might even be one of the more rocking albums from The Beatles. You have classic songs like Let It Be, The Long and Winding Road, and Get Back, but you also have solid songs like Two of Us, Across The Universe, and I've Got a Feeling. The only songs that feel like throwaways are Dig It and Maggie Mae, but they're listenable. At least the "Let It Be Naked" version dispenses with those and puts back the far superior Don't Let Me Down. All the other songs are good if not great. I prefer The Long and Winding Road, I Me Mine, and Across The Universe without the overproduction treatment by Phil Spector which you can find these versions on the "Let It Be Naked" album. It's pretty amazing that the group was still able to mostly produce solid music even though they were in the midst of falling apart. I've seen the "Let It Be" movie and contrary to popular belief, most of the film is just the group jamming, playing covers, working on Abbey Road songs, recording songs and the famous rooftop concert. It's not all doom and gloom, fighting, arguing, depression, etc. But anyway, should be interesting to see what Peter Jackson has in store for us in September. I hear the original film will also come out around then.
The album will never be regarded as one of the finest from The Beatles, but there is still plenty to enjoy on it.
