Let It Be.
Let It Be is the twelfth and final studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 8 May 1970, almost a month after the group's break-up, in tandem with the documentary of the same name. Concerned about recent friction within the band, Paul McCartney had conceived the project as an attempt to reinvigorate the group by returning to simpler rock 'n' roll configurations. The album topped charts in many countries, including both the US and the UK, but the critical response was generally unfavourable, and Let It Be came to be regarded as one of the most controversial rock albums in history. -Wikipedia

After the discord of The Beatles, the group sought to get back to basics with a rock LP and a film about its creation. This was the eventual result.

Consequence
Let It Be is a historical album anyway you look at it: because of its content or simply because it’s the last Beatles studio album to be released. It will still be discussed 40 years from now, just as it’s being discussed now, 40 years from its original release. And, of course, the “worst” album by The Fab Four is still much better than the “best” album by thousands of bands since. The Beatles remain the benchmark.

it is a quality addition to the band’s portfolio.

This is their weakest and least enjoyable record to listen to, but then again it is a Beatles release so there is still plenty of great things here.

As flawed and bumpy as it is, it's an album well worth having, as when the Beatles were in top form here, they were as good as ever.
