This album was a complete mess from the start, what you've got is a crumbling band who've turned into individuals rather than members in a solid unit. All the issues, politics and bullsh*t aside I think if you break the album up in parts, you can see the group's past, present and future in the record, for example; you've got a couple skiffle/ rock 'n' roll numbers (
Maggie Mae and
One After 909) from their past, some Lennon/ McCartney (
Two Of Us and
I've Got A Feeling) classics for their present, and the individually written tracks foreshadowing each of their future solo careers (Lennon,
Dig A Pony and
Across The Universe, McCartney,
Let It Be &
The Long And Winding Road and Harrison's
I Me Mine and
For You Blue). In conclusion Let It Be may not be The Beatles at their best but they did perfect the art of a band wrapping it up.
