Abbey Road

Abbey Road, in contrast to The Beatles' early albums, is less pop-sounding and its lyrics seem to be more mature than the songs in albums such as Please Please Me or Help.  Abbey Road is the Beatles' album I'm most familiar with, it was the first album I heard when I was little, although I remember little to none of it. It's definitely not their best album, and in my opinion isn't in their top 3 or 4. One thing I don't like about the late-Beatles is how in some of their songs they use filler sounds and repeat lyrics over and over, something I didn't think they did much in their earlier stuff. This is what made them stand out in the early years because of how good and nonrepetitive their writing was. Abbey Road isn't something I could listen to on my own, not because it's a bad album but because it doesn't catch my attention in the way other music does.
