One of the greatest albums ever put to vinyl. A real mastepiece. Some of The Beatles' best tracks are on this album, even the more silly songs like Maxwell's Silver Hammer are pretty good here. However the absolute best part of this album is The Meddley. A true classic in every meaning of that word.
Perfect
Y si, la música con la que fui adoctrinado desde chiquito. Estoy escuchando la Super Deluxe Edition ya que estoy con 40 tracks 🤺🥂🎯
Who in the fuck gives Abbey Road 1 ⭐️??
No caption needed.
Another album where I'm not sure what else can be said. This is probably my favorite Beatles album (either this or Revolver) and it's fantastic, but I think it's important to acknowledge that it isn't perfect. The Beatles were so highly and blindly acclaimed that they were able to get away with a couple of actual duds ("Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Oh! Darling") on what's considered one of the best albums of all time. "Octopus' Garden" is quite silly too, but I love that one. Obviously though, "Come Together", "Something", and the entire second side of the album are solid gold. I had also forgotten how much I love "I want You (She's So Heavy)"!
Heard it many times
speechless...
The Beatles were falling apart at this time. They created an album of near perfection. Masterful. Five.
If you look up the word perfection in the dictionary. It says 'The Beatles - Abbey Road'.
Vinyl on the radiogram. It is good, isn't it.
Great
Crazy album wesh, la giga dingz ! Big bangerz in there and also some I did not know. Definitely a classic.
Hard to not rate this album a 5. Most songs are classic and perfect in every details. But most importantly the whole things is so good all together.... Also hard to find negative things.. So definitely 5/5
Ok, yeah. It's brilliant, I can even forgive Maxwell's Silver Hammer, the rest of it is so good.
5* in spite of, not because of the twee nonsense of Maxwell's Silver Hammer and the execrable Her Majesty.
Masterpiece.
I've listened to this one plenty before getting this prompt. The Beatles were experts at making an album with no lulls in production from one song to the other, and Abbey Road is clearly no different. Also, I'm very partial to the ending medley.
Amazing album anything less 4 stars and you need to see a hearing professional.
Come Together might be my favorite beatles song. Another excellent Beatles album
It's another 5 star Beatles albums. It's almost boring rating Beatles albums, they're pretty much all going to be 5 stars. Two of the best songwriters of all time in the same band, groundbreaking recording techniques, and a discography that is top-notch all the way through almost makes it unfair. Some of their best songs are on this one.
Abbey ever after.
5/5. What an amazing album. Truly a masterpiece. Not a single bad song, it’s crazy how each one is just followed by another.
10/10. fue la primera vez en la vida que Escuché a los beatles y quedé tan enloquecida que espiralé y estoy mirando get back ??? buenardo
cara esse é o meu fav deles, entao nao é justo. something é a maior música de amor do mundo
lenda
One of the most well produced, best written, enjoyable albums ever. 5/5
Amazing
Enough amazing tracks on this to make it a 5-star album, but to be honest I could have done without a couple of songs like Maxwell's Silver Hammer or Polythene Pam.
Lost notes but we know about this album 5/5
Outstanding album. The first two tracks are two of the best of all time and the medley-style second half works very nicely. Something my favourite track.
Um so yeah, great album. Minus Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. That song ruined the album, great job Paul lol. But still great fucking album. This is the last album the Beatles recorded together, but the second to last that was released (Let It Be album was released afterwards bc they were trying to make the Get Back movie series, but that didn’t actually happen until 2021 lol). Come Together - banger Something - best love song ever written Maxwell's Silver Hammer - suck a dong Oh! Darling - ight, but a banger nonetheless Octopus's Garden - well it’s at least the best song Ringo ever wrote haha I Want You (She's So Heavy) - absolute fucking brilliance Here Comes the Sun - gorgeous, thank you George <3 Because - heart melting You Never Give Me Your Money - stunning piano Sun King - always sounds like a peaceful summer night Mean Mr. Mustard - I mean, it’s ight haha Polythene Pam - I mean, it’s ight haha She Came In Through the Bathroom Window - a bangin song about a prostitute bangin? Hell yeah Golden Slumbers - sweetest lil lullaby Carry That Weight - so sad bc you know it’s getting near to the end. Great reprise of You Never Give Me Your Money The End - absolutely fantastic, but so sad bc this is the last song the Beatles wrote and recorded. They all have rockin solos Her Majesty - the Beatles shortest song ever. Also, very overused in memes right now. In general: 9/10 My rating: 9/10
A master class in rock music. I want you (she's so heavy) is fucking ridiculous. The B side medley, always great. Ends strong. That fucker Ringo really likes the ocean.
There has already been enough said about this album, 5/5 start to finish.
The sky is blue so am crying😳, you keep getting me mehnnn. Keep em coming
Come Together is a good song, it has an iconic bass line and there is a reason it is well known. Something was okay, I didn’t like it as much as Come Together but I can see how someone would enjoy it. Maxwell’s Silver Hammer wasn’t what I expected, although I didn’t know what to expect, again it was okay though. Oh! Darling I did quite enjoy, especially the more strained, rocky, Roger Taylor-esque vocals, my favourite song so far. Octupus’s Garden is to catchy, I don’t want to like it, given how ridiculous it is, bug I’d be lying if I said I didn’t. I Want You (She’s So Heavy) was okay, I was a fan of the heavier segments because I like metal breakdowns, so I’ll give it that, wasn’t my favourite, wasn’t the worst. Here Comes The Sun I don’t like, I can’t say why, the guitar is fine, the song is iconic, the vocals are good, I just don’t like it and don’t think it should be their most popular song. Because I feel weird about, I feel like it would work better if it was covered by a band like Ghost, it would fit their creepier aesthetic well, but it was ok. You Never Give Me Your Money I know because of the Tenacious D cover, which I love, it so upbeat and fun, and I do prefer it over this version, but this is still decent. Sun King I wasn’t a huge fan of, it was a tad to dreary for me, however the change in language caught me off guard. Mean Mr Mustard was good in comparison to Sun King, I quite enjoyed the drums. Polythene Pam segued quite well from MMM, which then flowed nicely to… She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, which is fine, I have preferred other songs, but this is one of my higher songs, although I feel like this, PP, MMM and possibly Sun King should have been one big song. Golden Slumbers I didn’t know that I knew, it’s an okay song, but I have known the song for years and didn’t know it was by them, so that was a nice surprise. Carry That Way again segued nicely from Golden Slumbers, and I did like it, especially the callback to YNGMYM. The End is the other half of the Tenacious D cover, so I did know this as well, again preferred the Tenacious D cover, however I did like this version as well, and I really liked the guitar solo and drums. Her Majesty I don’t think should be on the album, it was unnecessary, it should have ended with The End. Overall, my dislike of the Beatles may have been unwarranted, Abbey Road was a pretty good album, I think some songs were better than others, and that some *cough* HCTS *cough* are quite overrated, but I get why this is one of the greatest albums now. 4.6/5
He say, one and one and one is three Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to seeeeeeeeeeee
Likely the best album ever recorded.
An integral moment in music history, and such a delight. Never a dull moment here. There's often a back-and-forth for me claiming this album to be the best in the Beatles discography, only matched by Revolver. Favourite Tracks: - All, except Octopus' Garden & Sun King Overall Score: 5/5
One of my all time favourite albums
Would listen again.
What an album! Simply amazing! I wanted to listening to it all day
Amazing The cracks beginning to show with group; ringo solo song, McCartney + Lennon not working together as much, harrison consistent as always; still manage to put together an incredible album 5/5 penultimate album
5 estrellas.
Doesn't get much better than that!
Still holds up, absolutely stellar album overall. Such a great mix of Beatles songs, and feels somewhat nostalgic especially when listening to Octopus's Garden - my first official introduction to the Beatles, by my father. Maxwell's Silver Hammer still has the double-effect of making me creeped by the lyrics, but still enjoy the fun melody.
It is impossible not to give five stars for a album like this.
Class
Solid. Didn’t realise Golden Slumbers was the Beatles.
There are so many fantastic songs on this album. I wish they’d tightened it up at the end instead of having a bunch of shorter songs, but this is still a 4.5 rounded up to 5.
God, I fucking love this album.
A classic. Insta 5
Forgot how many truly great songs are on this album. Thinks you completely forget are Beatles songs. Solid combination or pop and even heavier rock than I was expecting.
Un de mes albums préférés à vie! Tout simplement génial. L'enchainement des pièces à la fin tout simplement génial.
Two days in a row where the worst song on the album is called "Come Together"! This one redeems itself almost immediately with "Something" and keeps the high quality going until The End. 3 Beatles albums in the past 2 weeks, what's to say apart from marvel in their diverse excellence. You forget how good they were
A lot of variation in genre and composition, spread over long and short songs, which are actually pretty good and unique. Reminds me of other bands like The Who, Queen, Santana and Cream. Definetly understandable how this got famous, especially since it's from 1969. Favourite track: Here Comes The Sun.
Very calm album. Nothing was overly amazing, but tons of quality tracks. Favorites: Come together, octopus' garden, here comes the sun, maxwell's silver hammer
Muito massa já curti afu tbm
What can anyone say about such album? Masterpiece!
nothing more to say
Finally, a Beatles album I can get behind. Very few of the dated, cloying songs that I hate so much.
One and One and One Make Three
This was probably the first Beatles album that I really listened to properly. These songs are imprinted on me at a pretty deep level. There's so much amazing stuff on here - the arrival of George as a tour-de-force, the Long Medley, the final harmonies and guitar solos on The End, Ringo's voice overpowering the chorus on Carry That Weight, I Want You - just wow.
Don’t think there’s an album I’ve listened to in its entirety more than Abbey Road. So yeah. It’s OK.
Not much I can say about this album that hasn't already been said. I'll just say that this is a fitting finale for the greatest band that ever was. 5 stars.
I didn't listen to this, but I gave it 5 stars all the same. It should be 6. It's probably my favourite album of all time. Quite a dull, unadventurous choice. But's it's their finest piece of work from what is an impressive and exhaustive choice. I listen to it rarely these days. I don't like to overkill it. But when I do listen, I really DO listen. It doesn't deserve being on in the background whilst I work away at home. The run of songs for the final suite can't be bettered. Perfection. Their finest work.
One of those rare albums that when I try to write or say anything about it, I feel a little silly. It's Abbey Road. It's a truly rare and remarkable work of art.
I understand when John said there are too many of Paul's Granny songs on here. It's still a brilliant album. Very hard for me to justify not giving it 5*
An iconic album no matter how you look at it. Some of the greatest hits from the Beatles
10/5….classic..one of the best of all time
not really a lot you can say about this that hasn't already been said.
My wife often says to me "Nigel, you're a 46 year old man who's fantastic at giving me orgasms. Do you really have to scream 'Come together' every time we're reaching climax?". The truth is, I don't know that I'm doing it. I've filmed us fucking eachother many times and she's right, about 14 minutes in, at the top of my lungs, I bellow "come together" over and over until she's finished. It takes me another 10 minutes of wanking over her tits before I can cum though. One day we'll do it.
Put some bloody shoes on, Paul! You damn hippy.
The greatest band of all time bids farewell with a stunning, self-assured masterpiece. Sometimes tender, sometimes bombastic, a thrill right to the end.
I don't think there's anything I need to say about this one.
With a little more polish, I could see these guys getting really popular.
Classique. Définitivement à avoir écouté une fois dans sa vie, mais c'est difficile de ne pas y revenir.
Only a few 5* songsfor me, but a a whole...
It’s fucking Abbey Road
I'm not the biggest fan of the first half of this album. It ranks low for me, Beatles-ly speaking. But then the second half makes up for it. By the time you get to The End you cannot help but give it the full five, right?
First time listening through. Much more mellow than other Beatles releases but possibly my new favorite. Emily knew every song
Predobar je jednostavno. Nisam ga nikad cijelog poslušala i htjela sam imat neke kritike, ali ih nema. Jebeni beatelsi.
Jednostavno ne možeš reć da je ovo imalo loš album. Kolikogod sam si pokušavo kao, ma de, neće mi valjda taj bit među najjačim njihovim albumima, bla, bla, bla...danas, odnosno jučer sam preslušao 2 puta na poslu i jednostavno je odličan. Na ovom albumu imaju jedne od najboljih stvari, a i ujedno je ovo zadnji album na kojem su uživali radeći zajedno dok sve nije ošlo ća. Odličan album, jako važan za glazbu, ovaj album + Revolver i The White Album su mi najdraži njihovi. Sve u svemu petica pada, iako bi možda dao 4.5, ali to je sad ono priča za neki drugi puta. P.S. Ivane, Ringo Starr će nadživit Paula - Jameson će biti moj.
Nema se šta komentirat.
Discazo
A classic. Timeless
As close to perfect as you can get
An amazing album with some of the best lyricism from the band. And the medley is just great too.
Probably one of the greatest albums ever. Beatles at their peak. A complete album
Never listened to this one in its entirety before and I must say I'm pretty surprised. It's a lot heavier and more complex than I expected and actually more reminiscent of late Queen albums than of the well-known Beatles pop-rock hits. I also had some difficulty in rating this one. At first I was a bit confused because it didn't fit my expectations of what it would be like. At the same time I found the album composition pretty weird. The individual tracks seemed like they don't fit together and some of the contrasts seemed to jarring. Still, I thought the individual tracks were mostly pretty awesome. Right after it finished I gave it a second spin and it seemed a lot more organic when I knew what to expect. It's a great album. Maybe more of a 4.5 than a 5, but great nonetheless.
Possibly, or probably definitely, the best album of all time
Grandes!!
Ovo nema rasprave 😄
No need to listen to this album again in order to rate it: one of these super-classic albums that is in every best-of album list. each individual song fully analyzed, (but of course the album still works best when played as a whole).
I mean, come on.
It's so hard to rate the Beatles because everyone has heard these songs a billion times. Objectively a 5* though. It's been a long time since I listened to this album, it may be my favorite album as whole with the White Album following closely behind.
Great Album!
Is Abbey Road the best Beatles album? Not in my book. It's got some great great songs and starts off with a fantastic one two punch of Come Together and Something. But there a couple of songs that some wou,d call whimsical and charming I would describe as unnecesary filler. (though their sense of melody is strong even in those throwaway tunes. So it's not their best but it's still an easy 5 star album.
Yay Beatles!!!… The album opens with come together and what makes this a good opener is all down to that iconic guitar riff ( well it is in my opinion anyway) this song lyrics are rather nonsensical but they’re just there to carry the song really than to be it’s focus. It’s great though! Something is probably one of the most loved songs from this album and I have to agree it’s George Harrison’s magnum opus everything from that iconic guitar riff to the amazing lyrics and thundering chorus another banger! Now, was it worth getting the anvil for maxwells silver hammer? I’am not too sure but it’s still a fine song it’s one of those happy sounding songs that are really dark, the chorus is probably my favourite bit very catchy and the piano work after makes it so epic. Oh darling, is a great slower songs but still with a rampaging chorus probably not one of my favourite Paul songs but that’s just because he’s done so many bangers. Piano work is excellent here. Octopus’s garden is very Ringo it’s not a top tier song but still good all the instrumentation is perfect, the chorus is one of the most infectious ever. But it just sounds like a kids song. I want you ( she’s so heavy) is the very opposite to octopus’s garden a very John Lennon song a spiralling 7 minute epic with one of the best guitar riffs ever by the end it gets all fuzzy only to have one of the moon abrupt ending’s in music history. I still like it though. [yeah that was side one probably one of the best displays of each Beatles individual talents] Here comes the sun the most popular song that wasn’t a single, yeah this is a classic, great guitars good lyrics one of the most memorable songs of all time; great song! Then is because essentially a drugged up cult like chant with one of my favourite opening lines of all time in “ because the world is round it turns me on”. It’s solid though but only because of that vocal layering if not the attraction would probably be gone. [ now for the medley] You never give me your money: It has great piano work, good lyrics and while this is the only one that isn’t a fragment of this song this one has never been a favourite of mine. The flow between this and sun king is just a bit odd as well with some bug noises bridging the gap. I think it would’ve been better as it’s own song than park of this. Sun king: it’s essentially a reprise of because with different lyrics not bad but the album’s worst. Mean mr mustard: a short kinda comical little track It’s not a favourite but the flow into polythene pam is good. Polythene pam: my opinion on this one is practically the same as mean mr mustard but it flows well into she came in through the bathroom window. She came in through the bathroom window: best intro of the whole medley it’s sort of the end of the “first half” of the medley as there’s no flow into golden slumber’s. It’s a very good song though. Golden slumbers : probably my favourite song off the medley great lyrics great chorus which is kinda like a trick thing as it flows the same way it does into carry that weight! Carry that weight: another favourite of the medley the most uplifting track top song again! The end: I like this one and it’s a great closer to the album and to the Beatles catalogue and the lyrics are great but out of the this and the previous two theres no competition. [ bonus track] Her majesty: ( ha ha i’am doing this on the day before the jubilee) it’s okay… {Also on a Beatles note unrelated to the album my Spotify rolled over to I saw her standing there the first song on their debut so that’s cool.} Probably the funniest review I’ve ever done! Anyway it’s a true classic and still only my 3rd favourite Beatles album!
Oh end era Beatles, the great Abbey Road, a tribute to all their creativity I think, wonderful notes to end on. My Favourites are "Come Together" "Something" "Her Majesty" "Maxwells Silver Hammer" "Oh Darling" "Octopus's Garden" "I Want you (She's So Heavy)" "Here Comes The Sun" "Because" "You Never Give Me Your Money" "Sun King" "Mean Mr Mustard" "Polythene Pam" "She Came In Through The Kitchen Window" "Golden Slumbers" "Carry The Weight" and "the End" so that is the whole album then. Believe or not this is not my favourite Beatles Album (Which is the White Album) but it is in the top two! wonderful stuff that shows how influential these four liverpool lads are to music today sixty years after they started their journey to the "Toppermost of the Poppermost" great stuff and in my top 10 albums of all time.
I've heard this many many times already. Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Sun King are maybe lower points, but there are some all-time great songs on here. Here Comes the Sun is probably George's best, and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and "The End" are two personal favorites.
One of the greatest albums of all time
nice
An absolutely classic album that has withstood the test of time. Although I wouldn’t consider it The Beatles' best work, it is definitely among some of the greatest albums of all time. The album is extremely enjoyable. While it isn’t as cohesive as other albums due to it having certain songs that disrupt the flow, I still adore this album and consider it amazing. Fantastic work by The Beatles!
Best beatles album
Perfect, unimprovable, magnificent, interesting both musically and for its cultural resonance. Absolutely wonderful
I already know that I like this album. In fact it's my favorite of the Beatles catalog, which is a predictable choice. I always find myself returning to this eventually as it has the heaviness and catchiness of everything that makes the Beatles the best pop of it's time.
Beatles implode, Harrison rises
Decent album.
So great!!!!!
There are some awesome tracks on this album, but I was gonna dock a star for some of the twee nonsense. A couple of listens and the tracks that initially seemed weaker grew on me (unlike Sgt. Pepper) so, sure, five stars it is. Fave track - "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" in no small part because of Type O Negative's cover, although it's still a monster track on it's own...
Like what do you need to know about it? One of the most iconic rock albums of all time. Every song is great. Don’t sit here and read reviews of it, just go listen to it you lunatic!
classic. top 3 beatles albums. abbey road medley is one of my absolute favorite pieces of music of all time
This is my #1 all time favorite album.
4.6 - fantastic album with iconic songs throughout that work so well together. “Come Together”, “Octopuses Garden”, “Something” and many others make for a great listen.
Brilliant classic album. Everyone knows the cover of this album, I knew quitte some songs. But it’s an different experience when listening it as a whole. Listened to it twice and the second time it was even better. The songs individually are great but get stronger as a whole. No wonder this is such a legendary album. Favourite songs: - Come together - Here comes the sun - Golden slumbers/Carry that weight/the end
Still one of my favorites!
Gets better every time
Just the Beatles
One of my favorite albums of all time! My top Beatles album....consider the medley my top Beatles song. So many highlights! 5/5
not much to say. undisputed masterpiece. always have loved she came in through the bathroom window.
The best Beatles' album imho.
Brilliant
It's Abbey Road
Pretty much perfect. 3rd favorite Beatles album. 10/10 1. Golden Slumbers 2. Something 3. Octopus's Garden
One of the greats
Gäbe es sechs Punkte würde ich sie diesem Album geben.
Ça c'est un album qu'il faut avoir entendu! C'est innégal, Silver hammer pis octopus c'est pas mes préférés mais il y Because, Come together et I want you qui à eux seuls vallent le 5 étoiles!
J’ai toujours trouvé fascinant que le côté B de cet album contient assez de matériel pour faire un album exceptionnel complet. À la place, ils en ont fait des petites tounes de 1m30. Il faut avoir confiance en sa capacité à en écrire d’autres. Ringo a déjà dit que les tounes s’enchainnaient parce qu’ils étaient trop paresseux pour leur trouver une fin. J’aimerais ça être paresseux de même. Bref, c’est mon album préféré de mon band préféré.
Ah les Beatles! Je crois que c'est mon préféré avec Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Cet album est l'aboutissement réussi des explorations des albums précédents. Dans le processus créatif, je trouve vraiment intéressant le fait que la durée de I Want You a été calculé par rapport au média qu'est le vinyle pour aller au bout de la face A et avoir l'effet de coupure par l'aiguille qui revient au début. Un album incontournable.
Extremely influential album full of hits.
The very definition of what is an "album your must hear before you die". Still vital and relevant after all these years.
Absolutely one of the classics of music.
Not quite my favourite Beatles album but it's up there with the best.
The pinnacle
Excellent
Abbey Road is perfect - I could listen to any song off of this album on a loop and never get bored. ‘The Medley’ is so fantastically well executed. The 1-2-3 punch that is ‘Golden Slumbers’, ‘Carry that Weight’, and ‘The End’ might be one of my favourite endings to an album ever.
It has to be a 5, one of their best albums
"I love this album more than I love myself!!!"
Quite obviously a 5. 1. Come Together - First favourite Beatles track 10/10 2. Something - George masterpiece 11/10 3. Maxwell - Gets a fair bit of unfair hate 7/10 4. Oh Darling - An all time great in terms of vocal performance 8.5/10 5. Octopus's Garden - >>>> Yellow Submarine 9.5/10 6. I Want You - Big and ballsy. Could imagine another album full of tracks like this if they stayed together 10/10 7 . Here Comes The Sun - 11/10 8. Because - 8.5/10 9. You Never Give... - Best track on the album 11/10 10. Sun King - Albatross inspired goodness - 8.5/10 11. Mean Mr Mustard - Good fun 9/10 12. Polythene Pam - As above 9/10 13. She Came In... - And again 9/10 14. Golden Slumbers - Fucking class 10/10 15. Carry That Weight - Belter 10/10 16. The End - The love you take is equal to the love you make ✌️ What a way to sign off 10/10
One of my favorite Beatles albums. The suite in the middle is just epic.
It's always nice to listen to this again. Every song is a good song and I feel like I always find something new. This time around, I felt incredibly moved by "Here Comes The Sun." What a simple and profound song. It's hard to believe that John left the Beatles 6 days after they finished recording this. I would love to be in the room where it happened.
What can I say? This was an absolute joy to listen to!
5 stars without even listening. This is the way
God, I love this album. Even Maxwells Silver Hammer can’t detract from the overall masterpiece
No explanation needed. The highest rated album on this site for a reason.
It’s abbey road
Maybe the easiest five stars on the list for me. This one still surprises. What a good album.
Mastapiece
Absolutely perfect! From the major hits to the lesser known slower songs to the tracks that expertly transitioned seamlessly from track to track makes this album a masterpiece. Loved it!
One of the best ever
McCartney's bare feet are conclusive proof that he died and was replaced by an imposter. Fact. Great album doe
Good listen, come together, octopus’s garden and here comes the sun, good trip songs
some of my favourite beatles songs and some great ones i hadn’t heard. good mix of strong songs
Of course, a classic. 4 and 1/2 stars because of "Octopuses Garden" .. sweet Christmas.
Great. Timeless. Slightly overrated, but stil fantastic.
What is there to say?
Nothing needs to be said about this - takes me back to listening to my parents' copy when I was 10. I love this album
Great album
Of course
Love this album and it's really good.
Not my favorite Beatles album, but still like a 7.5
5/5 - fun listen; Beatles are not my thing but I get it
Seit bestimmt 20 Jahren endlich wieder gehört 😀 Und es ist immer noch einmalig 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀
Absolute class. Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer is an odd song about a serial killer. We used to sing this in primary school! Great songs from start to finish.
A veritable tour de force. Superb.
For reasons unknown, Maxwell's Silver Hammer regularly plays in my nightmares. 🤷 Aside from that, it's an excellent album.
Though they were falling apart they still managed to produce one of the greatest albums ever. Everything has been written about it and just to reiterate - the end medley is worth the price of admission alone. If you don't like this album you've got no soul. Best Tracks: Oh Darling; I Want You (She's So Heavy); You Never Give Me Your Money
It’s Abbey Road. What is there to say. It’s perfect
Absolutely amazing album. Hit songs everyone knows, but even the minute long songs near the end and the lesser know ones filling the rest of the album were great. Maybe a little bias towards the group, but overall fantastic!
Probably the Beatles most well known album but not necessarily their best. Still great in its own regard. It has 17 songs and still short of an hour. It’s a refined, simply curated album. The Beatles mellowed out with this one compared to yellow sub and magical. The songs flow exceptionally well throughout and makes the album an easy listen and yet there’s still depth to the songs. 8.8/10
I'd give then ten stars if I could.
10/10
10/10. The back half is weaker than the front, but still solid throughout. A lot of classicsongs I was familiar with, and it's nice to finally listen to the album.
Probably not the best album of all time but there’s something to be said about universal acclaim. It’s damn good. 10/10
Not much to really say other than this album is a certified masterpiece. The Beatle's discography is so stacked, yet this album just might be my favorite of theirs. So many absolute bangers, and the transitions between songs are pure bliss. Surely an all time great album. Favorite Tracks: Something, Oh! Darling, Here Comes the Sun, She Came In Through The Bathroom Window
Easy 5/5... Can I give it a 6? Classic start to finish.
Vraiment un clsssique des beatles. Leur dernier mais ca frappe fort. A ecouter absolument. 5
Really great album.
Duh
Didn’t like very well
A day after getting Rumours by Fleetwood Mac I get Abbey Road. Two albums I didn't need to listen to again to rank as 5 star albums. Just what I needed to wash the taste of that shitty Lenny Kravitz album out of my mouth This album captures a massive range of moods, but somehow makes them all fit. More importantly, just just keeps getting better as it goes. And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. The Beatles always had an incredible way to state the profound with the simplest words 5/5
Classic.
Very satisfying and an easy listening album. Can definitely tell the blues notes flowing this one.
Amazing output. The soundscapes here are phenomenal. Nothing bad on this album. The 2nd side medley might be the finest 17 minutes of music ever made. Highlight tracks: 1, 2, 4, 7, 9-17 medley
Really enjoy the songwriting. One of the greatest opening songs to kick of an album.
Great album, good reminder of how awesome the Beatles are
I will always love this album. I cannot answer the question of whether the Beatles are a must-hear. (10/10) FT: Something, Oh Darling, Come Together
Everything from "once there was a way..." to "the love you take is equal to the love you make" is perfect (that's side 2 in old money). It's my favourite piece of The Beatles music and I'm apparently not alone - that was George Martin's favourite, too. Wonderful. Glorious. Desert island music for me.
What do you want me to say, classics front to bacl
Welp, first album I receive from this very interesting website, and I get as my first album to listen to is one I have listend to numerous times and agree whole heartedly that this is one of the Greatest Albums of All Time, just Abbey Road, the last Beatles album recorded. My short thoughts about the songs on the album: Come Together: If this is supposed to be a drug song, it really feels like a trip that hits you, getting ready to take you on a journey to a world where nothing and everything makes sense at the same time, with that fuckin killer guitar by George i think? Something: This song really grew on me, because I didn't really get myself into the talent that is George Harrison, and this song just struck me as basic lovey dovey song when i first discovered it in Freshman year of high school. Listening to it several times later and thinking of the women that used to make me feel, this song captured the emotions perfectly, and it's also just a vibe Maxwell's Silver Hammer: REALLY? They hated this song?? I can understand the fucking pain in Paul's Percise Direction on the song taking a toll on everybody, this still shows that the art you imagine in your head doesn't have to be perfectly how you imagined it to still be fucking awesome! It may be the inner edge-lord in me that considers this on the top 5 best off this album, but it's like Tarantino's who analogy with Joker (2019), it seduces you into enjoying the villain's presence. Oh! Darling: I always remember the title of this song but never the actual song, but it's instrumentals are really something. It's a more manic Something now that i think about it... so John made this! His vocals are on point and the classic harmonization by the end... wait is this Paul or John... Im stupid. Octopus's Garden: Top 5 off the album, more like on MY TOP 5 FAVORITE BEATLES SONG OF ALL TIME. This song deserves more love, RINGO deserves more love, and I'm glad they are getting more each year. this is just a song that makes me so fucking happy. I Want You (She So Heavy): Another top 5 entry on both lists omg, 2 in a row! This song gives me the weird feeling of thinking of a girl and other things when you're supposed to pay attention to Sunday Mass. This is probably Paul's absolute best fucking Bass work in his career Here Comes The Sun: c'mon, no words are needed. It's like waking up at the top floor of your apartment as the sun is rising above your home and shining the world. All your worries are blinded by the pure bliss radiating from this moment in your life, happening right now... also from the gamma rays Because: I should've listened to this song more, this is an incredible song. Y'know those ascended memes, this makes me feel like that, so outer worldly filled with bibilical like power. You never gave me your money: what a different tone from the last song but it kinda matches with the notes, but this feels like snapping back to reality from the last song and making something happen. Sun King: Sun King yes, which sounds like full moon, midnight by the campfire. THIS GUITAR THO. Mean Mr. Mustard: now it's the next day and now we're people watching. Kinda feels like this album is about living in the moment in life :) (also this song sounds as groovy as Paul's future work) Polythene Pam: Good transition, You think Mr Mustard is somethin, well you should see... this woman She Came in through the Bathroom window: You fell in love with a Girl but the drugs start kicking in again ~my hands are getting tired so i'm just going to write down the image these song's give me Golden Slumbers: this is like Part 2 to Sun King, now another night, reflecting what we learned and need to learn. Basically a reflection of the past. Carry the Weight: Know that reflecting on the Past will only darken your life even more and letting go and feeling free is the world's greatest luxury The End: One of the best endings to anything, it's like the final song at the end of a series you spent a long time with Her Majesty: End Credits scene, Love confession overall, good album, I wish i could type more aboutt his album but my hands hurt, I ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THIS, BEST ALBUM Her Majesty:
Well, having never owned a Beatles album, surprised myself by giving this 5/5 - but it's got Come Together (could be 1 year old never mind 50), Golden Slumbers and loads of great tracks i'm not familiar with like Maxwell's Golden Hammer. Plus I live near Abbey Road so
Is there a more iconic album? I prefer Hard Days Night & Rubber Soul, but this is solidly in the top 10 ever? Maybe top 5? Every damn song on it is recognizable.
5/5. A classic start to finish. I can't still remember the first time I heard the entire album. I checked it (cassette) out from the library and listened to it on my walkman over and over again. Loved it. It is special.
pretty dope.
Classic
Loved it since age 9.
classic
What superlative can I add that hasn’t already been said?
Incredible tantas buenas rolas en un solo disco, y la cohesión entre ellas.
pfff lo que diga se queda corto
The Beatles conceived another masterpiece on their final album together.
This has always been up there with SGT Peppers and Rubber Soul. Silly Psychadelic Symphonies that Simply Send me to the Stars..... Yeah. ... I said that.
No notes necessary for this classic
Brilliant
Disclaimer: While I like the Beatles, I also think they are the most overrated band in history. Not to say they weren't among the greatest ever... but the boomer obsession with this band can be a bit much. Having said that, this is my favorite Beatles record. Side A is good but side B is just incredible from "You Never Give Me Your Money" to the end. They definitely went out with a bang on this one (the last record they recorded together)
Another classic for a reason album.
The last classic album by the Beatles. On this one the contribution of George Harrison is larger (Because, Here Comes The Sun, Something). Every song is sublime.
Easy 5* - favourite album of all time, and the first record I knew I had to own on vinyl. Harrison's contributions obviously excel here, but all four Beatles are on fine form instrumentally and vocally (did their harmonies and backing vocals ever sound so gorgeous?) The Side 2 "medley" (contrary to Lennon's dismissive comments) is one of my favourite sequences of music by any artist. Fave Track: You Never Give Me Your Money Least Fave Track: At a stretch... Maxwell (but I still love it, sorry Paul)
5/5 everything has already been said about this album
Great album... classic
I simply can't say anything about this record that hasn't be said before, it's one of the most iconic albums of all time. It's the magnus opus of The Beatle's career, and the concourse of sounds that come from this album are so spectacular. It starts with one of the most iconic, rocking songs in their catalogue and ends with a grandiose medley that is so rich is lyricism and composition that it's almost cinematic. George Harrison and George Martin are the rock stars of this album. If you can't get into this album, The Beatles are not meant for you. Favorite Song: Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End Least Favorite: Her Majesty (I know it's a hidden track, but it should have just ended cleanly)
So I think the front half of the album starts off so strong with Come Together and Something, but then with Maxwell and Octopus it's a take back to older Beatles. The B side of this album is where things really shine. Here Comes the Sun gets us going, and I love the flow of one track into another at the end of the album
Perfect
One of the all time great albums. The medley in the second half towards the end of the album is divine.
BeeeUhls!!!!!! \m/\m/ Best Evar and one of the greatest and most listenable albums there is.
FAB ofc, esp side 2. Boring paul tracks on first half are the only down side, as well as the befuddling order (should be Come Together, Oh Darling or smth then Something as Track 3 surely, will re-order properly one day)
Classic
Production: 17/20 Songwriting: 15/20 Innovation: 16/20 Presence of pure bangers: 20/20 Emotional response: 16/20 =84 Can’t argue with that can you. Even if it did have a spastic hammer on it
A classic! One of the best albums ever created.
Al veel geluisterd, maar ook nu weer geweldig. Naast Revolver vind ik dit wel hun beste werk!
Easy 5. Favourite Beatles album. Bass in I Want You 👌
one of their best albums
One of the best albums if have ever heard :)
It’s Abbey Road, innit?
Top tier, S+ class album all around. Good one lads. Cheerio and the rest yes. One of The Beatles best, absolute hits from top to bottom. Each song is memorable and warrants a return listen. Idk how many times I've jammed to this record. Confession: my favorite song throughout all of middle school was "Octopus's Garden." A Ringo song!
Amazing. Brilliant musicianship.
As good as you’d hope and expect it to be, and not just the more well known songs.
Classic.
True classic - What else needs to be said?
Just great
a classic! still rocking
No words
Never new the second half of the album was considered a "medley."
amazing! Classic! The segues at the second half of the album are glorious.
Amazing album.
Concept album for sure!
Yes!
As good as it has ever been <3
One of the greatest albums of all time. Just perfect.
What’s not to love?
+ Here Comes the Sun + Come Together + Something + Oh! Darling
Might be the Beatles' best album. Highlights: Come Together Something I Want You Here Comes The Sun You Never Give Me Your Money
This just might be a 5 star album...
what an absolute jewel. come together, something, oh darling, here comes the sun, golden slumbers/carry that weight, the end. the early part of the medley doesn't do it for me (sun king and mr mustard) and i think "i want you" drags on for a bit too long. i was tempted to score it 4.5 because of these, but the good parts are too good. 5 stars. incredible.
The best of the best
ATG album.
Good album yeh?
A glorious epitaph.
:)
One of the greatest albums by the greatest band of all time
Don't know how I called myself a Beatles fan without having given this one a thorough listen. For some reason I thought of this one as disjoint from the rest of their discography, but there's still the narrative whimsy of classic Beatles interspersed throughout. The tension inherent in the creation of this LP is clear as the track lengths thin towards the end, but even these snippets carry a wealth of life and delight.
Simply one of the best, if not the best, album of all time. Not much to say that hasn’t been said.
perfect ending!!!! fav track: she came in through the bathroom window
Classic must-listen for a reason.
we love
classic
a classic with surprisingly more great songs than I expected
One of the best albums from the Beatles, can't give it anything other than a 5 stars
A classic!
Heard this a few hundo times. Still awesome focused on middle songs, Because - Polythene Pam. Under appreciated by me in the past.
- Best Beatles Album? - Abbey Road to assembling a bed - Favorite track(s): Here Comes The Sun, Come Together, and Octupus's Garden
Well done the beatles
Hadn't heard in years. Hard to believe this is now the "best album of all time" but still an absolute psychedelic classic. Dug "Oh! Darling" quite a bit.
Kannte ich davor schon wunderbar! + Oh Darling + Here comes the sun
I mean what has to be said. total bop. 90%
The best
Er....it’s Abbey Road...
Beautiful
One of my fave albums.
This is so close the being a 5-star album. I don't really like The Beatles, and that is the only thing keeping me from 5-star. So, what the hell....
The best
A virtually flawless album that I've adored for years. That medley at the end tho >>>
1969. Key Songs: Come Together, Something, Here Comes The Sun
Great album, front to back. Sure the last song is stupid, but I feel like it is a bit of a wink towards the listeners. No bad songs, and that is even including Octopus's Garden
3/31 A sonic trip.
Listened to on vinyl. I think this album is worth the hype. The songs are catchy while still being deep and meaningful. I want to listen to it a few more times just to fully understand it. Overall an excellent album lyrically and sonically.
Abbey road é foda
it's about time! very strong first song, perfect start. smth - i like this a lot T_T oh darling - <3 id like to be under the sea in an octopus's garden in the shade/with you - don't we all???? this song is very relatable and catchy and fun and everything u want a song to be sun king - italian???
poop
The best Beatles album!
Obviously I know this album. I prefer the white album though.
extremely strong start
solid.
wonderful starting point with come together, absolute classic. Hey lets all wear shoes and not tell paul. very well made album, it is the beatles after all they are not my favorite band the album would be much better if it were not as overplayed.
Classic! Great one
ABBEY ROAD! BOOMERS RISE UP! GREATEST ALBUM EVER! GO BEATLES! WOO I wanna start with one thing: I love this album. It's brilliant, catchy, filled with incredible melodies, one iconic song after another and most importantly: it's incredibly produced. The album sounds so pristine, crystal clear, very ahead of its time considering it was recorded in the late 60s when technologies were very limited. The guitar tones are incredible, the vocal harmonies sound gorgeous and it's all engineered so perfectly. The way this album flows together is also wildly creative, especially with the short songs in the back half. There is also so many classic and instantly recognizable moments, straight from the opening of Come Together. Something is an incredible ballad filled with passionate vocal performances and incredible chord progressions in the background, another strike of genius. Same with Oh! Darling, some of the guitars on that song are very heavy for a 60s pop rock song and the vocals are even wilder. That's before we even get I Want You (She's so Heavy) where the 2nd part borders on some metal shit. That song in general is out of this world, the whole song has this overwhelming tension. The contrast between that and Here Comes the Sun, one of the brightest songs ever made, is so funny. Another big standout to me is Golden Slumber, but really the entire ending of the album is really fun and boundary pushing. The record is really great but also a little overrated simply because I don't see how it excels over other Beatles albums. Revolver has even better and more forward thinking production. The White Album is even more crazy and boundary pushing. Sgt Peppers has much stronger conceptual writing and I would argue even Rubber Soul is stronger track for track. Abbey Road has incredibly high highs mixed in with songs like Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Octopus' Garden or Polythene Pam that are just kinda bullshit. They're some of the few Beatles songs that make me think that maybe drugs aren't so awesome afterall. Again I love the album but I don't consider it one of the all time greats, maybe it wouldn't bother me if not for all the uncles calling this the greatest thing ever. Then again, for an album so universally loved, you could do A LOT worse.
A very good beatles album. I loved much of it, and the non-hits still held up. I understand the hype, but it's still not a 5-star album for me. 8/10
I didn’t expect to like the Beatles but this was very relaxing to listen to. I walked all of today listening to this album. I like Oh! Darling and I Want You (She’s so Heavy).
Ambitious, immaculately produced and varied. There are moments I love, especially on side 2, but there's something lacking here that you would find on earlier albums, a certain soul. And I don't like Paul's songs on side 1. I see it as impressive more than something I reguarly return to.
My dad's favorite Beatles album. Come Together is a solid start. Something is a great song. George Harrison is the most underrated Beatle. Maxwell's Silver Hammer is a throwback to the Beatles earlier, sillier work. I hate it. I have a soft spot for Ringo songs. Octopus's Garden is just as silly as Maxwell's Silver Hammer but the goofiness works better when it's Ringo. John was right, the medley to close the album mostly sucks. I have always loved Golden Slumbers and Carry That Weight...I wish they were both full songs rather than part of this medley.
A bit more than enjoyable
Love the transitions from one song to another
Classic art, some classic songs. Might be my favorite Beatles album. Kind of zoned out towards end for some reason
How about those Beatles huh folks? Pretty good band if you ask me, hopefully they keep making bangers like this one for a long time to come. George and Ringo cooked soooo hard. That long section in the second half makes me grin and also roll my eyes at the same time which I think is the only correct way to react to the Beatles. Whole album jangly af, one of our jangliest. Second act montage needle drop in my biopic: "Octopus's Garden" (duh)
Not bad.
Really good but not quite their best. Octopus' Garden and I Want You are amazing
Come together - 9/10 Something - 9/10 Maxwell - 7/10 Oh Darling - 6/10 Octopus - 8/10 Heavy - 9/10 Here comes the sun - 10/10 Because - 7/10 Money - 8/10 Sun King - 7/10 Mean Mr Mustard - 8/10 Polythyne Pam - 8/10 She came - 8/10 Golden Slumbers - 8/10 Carry that weight - 8/10 The End - 9/10 Her Majesty - xx
First album is one I've listend to must bs 20 times
Ugh, another britpop album ... jk, it's Abbey Road. Seeing it pop up my only thought was "4 stars or 5?". I've forgotten just how uneven this record was. Everything up until the end of 'Here Comes the Sun' is five stars. The rest seems unfocused so I'd knock the album a bit for that.
