i was just listening to the original version. it's simply amazing, and it astounds me how often people dismiss it. i agree that it's not as good as rubber soul -> abbey road, but it's still ten times the album most other bands are capable of.
I still can't decide between the original and naked versions, though. both are good in different ways...

no doubt man, and the stripped version is just as good...
and think of what album they would have done if they had put together the best songs out of this one and abbey road:
two of us
come together
something
across the universe
oh! darling
octopus's garden
I me mine
I want you (she's so heavy)
here comes the sun
let it be
because
I've got a feeling
the long and winding road
get back
possibly the best album ever...

maybe, but i think abbey road already is the best album ever as it stands now.

Not as good as the 5 or 6 before. But there are still some absolute gems on this album. It's a little inconsistent, but still really good.
