Hey, I sent you Back To The Egg for a reason; I want a comprehensive review.

I've always thought Abbey Road is easily their worst album. I like Octopus's Garden well enough (the "novelty" Ringo song outdoes the others' serious stuff for me) but I feel that the only truly good song on it is "I Want You..." maybe for the reason you stated. It almost seems like it doesn't belong on Abbey Road which is full of songs that I only like, maybe, the first 15 seconds of some of them. Of all the Beatles albums to have on vinyl, I only have two and this is one of them. I don't have a record player anymore but when I did I remember putting this album on it often thinking 'I should like this, I must be missing something' but then ALWAYS skipping to "I Want You.." and really loving it.
I'm excited for your Rubber Soul review. To me, it's essentially a way better version of Revolver.
Overall, I seriously doubt any one album of theirs will win you over but its fun to see your reactions.
