Every once and a while, i'll forget that The Beatles are geniuses. Let It Be is an album that i tend to get away from pretty often, but i've been really into the later scene Beatles stuff; like the rooftop concert and the Let It Be sessions recently. the amount of distractions that were happening during the making and recording of this album is pretty wild considering the final result. granted, it does sound like a band that's fighting with each other about everything. all of the songs that are from the filmed sessions share a pretty similar, gritty sort of quality, espesically with all of the pre/post song comments. but i'm into that, and apparently George Harrison was hanging out with Bob Dylan and The Band when they were recording The Basement Tapes stuff and he dug the sound that they were getting and that's where the influence for the quality of these sessions came from. I especially like Paul's songs on this album. I've Got a Feeling is too good, and obviously Get Back rules. i'm one of those people that think Phil Spector kind of took a dump on The Long and Winding Road, but i mean, at least he tried. but Billy Preston owns it.
