I agree about doolittle tho I dont think its quite as bad as tromp. I dont even like tromp that much. come on pilgrim and surfer rosa are perfect.
I think the thing about let it be and spector that works is that they were trying to write more classic pop masterpieces, but more mature then some of the earlier work, and less experimental than the stuff on pepper. so in that regard I think spectors wall of sound was perfect for THOSE songs. and george harrisons first album would have been horrible if it werent for the reverb caked wall of sound...in my opinion. Paul wanted let it be naked and those songs to be more raw like the live band, but the composition of those songs didnt call for it in my opinion and they should have left the rock n roll sound for the early rock n roll material.
(maybe that made sense...)
EDIT: back to sister, I agree about a few posts up, that is such a magical album. I remember the first time I heard the breakdowns and bends near the end of schizophrenia I felt like I was tripping...then the first time i did acid and listened to that song I thought I was in heaven...
