Reviews (page 10 of 15)
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

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

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.
1969 pop, last album Come together Here comes the sun
I never realized it before but this album pretty much invented the arena rock genre. Also, Octopus’ Garden slaps, actually.
I mean yeah it's a classic
4.5★/5 07.24.2026
zeer goed album.. medley is soms wat bij het haar getrokken
80
I can appreciate how well it's made and don't get me wrong it's a good set of songs, but realistically this isn't peak music, ofc they have the edge on the fact that they were first which makes it cool/impressive.
i like it
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.
Muy bueno
One of the first records I bought with my own money (used from a yard sale, of course). Rarely listen to these songs anymore, but I still know them inside and out. Like a lot of the world, I went all in for a while. Definitely became part of my DNA.
Wish i could give 4.6, great album with plenty of bangers. Iconic album first listen
Creo que para este álbum el mito supera a lo qué en realidad es, tiene un par de canciones de sobra 4.7
not as good as Joni Mitchell’s Blue
not my usual style but I like it, i like heaviest stuff
I like this one a lot. This was the first album I heard from them, I still have it burned it into a CD.
STupid ass list has given me everything except White album now, meanwhile I still live in fear for the day I get a Morrissey album. BUt on to Abbey Road, a classic sure, they're the Beatles and they don't really have anything under a 4/5. I love this album, I always belt out Oh Darling, but I'm on everybody except Paul's side in regards to Maxwell's Silver Hammer; you can hear the rest of the band's tediousness and frustration with Paul really working this song up. The dude made them bring in an anvil for the bang bang sound, what the hell was he thinking? I also have my reservations on the B side melody, because even without their admittance of it, it is clearly just throwaway songs mashed up together. Even though it is a fun listen, it's a compressed White Album with less effort on it. Enough of my qualms though, because this is still the fab four. Besides Maxwell, Side A to me is one of the most perfect runs of songs ever for this band. Come Together by Lennon, Something by Harrison, Oh Darling by McCartney, and Octopus's Garden by Starkey; just these four make Side A so heavy. And then there's I Want You, one of the most unique songs in their catalog for its epic coda and next-level playing in the rhythm section. The End serves its intended purpose as well, showing off fantastic solos by each Beatle. Maybe I'll come back and drop it to a three, I basically scoop out the middle of the album. But what's left after is just so good.
4 just cause of few fillers imo
Nice. Nostalgic. Enjoyed. Made me think of my dad. Loved that.
Done
Review - the best songs are incredible, but it has some less than perfect songs too. Octopus' Garden isn't bad but it's not that good either. Something isn't great, but I'm just not as big a fan of George's songwriting. Definitely worth a listen, but there are more consistent Beatles albums out there. Score - 8.5/10 Need to listen? YES
Classic
There are some wonderful tracks obviously and the album is really diverse, covering lots of genres. There's a few tracks that I would not be bothered about if I never heard again. But overall fair do's - I can see why this is so influential and revered.
This has to be the best Beatles album
A really strong album. Come together as an opener is just so peak. Immediately into it. So many good songs and very few just okay ones
A very good album but doesn't quite hit that '5' sweet spot for me. Enjoyed listening to it a few times this weekend though.
Es ist das letzte große, gemeinsame Aufbäumen der Beatles – poliert, melodisch, technisch auf höchstem Niveau. Das Album wirkt wie eine Band, die weiß, dass sie auseinanderdriftet, aber noch einmal alles an Präzision und Harmonie in die Waagschale wirft. „Come Together“ eröffnet mit ikonischer Coolness, „Something“ zeigt George Harrison auf seinem emotionalen Zenit, und das Medley auf Seite zwei ist ein kunstvoll verzahntes Finale, das die kreative Kraft der Gruppe bündelt.
I mean, I am not about to tell you that this is a bad album, I'm not enough of a contrarian to say that an album where every song has it's own wikipedia page is a bad album, but I can't quite justify giving it a 5 star rating. The best songs on this album like Come Together and I Want You are excellent, however it has songs like Maxwell's Silver Hammer (a goofy novelty song that is both kinda annoying and doesn't really have anything interesting going on) and the medley (a collection of short half-formed songs that are a mixed bag). It is still a very solid album though.
I like the Beatles. I don't go gaga over them, but I like them. Come Together is one of my top three Beatles songs. Funny, to me it sounds more Rolling Stones than Beatles. The rest of the album is good too. Many consider it the best ever. It doesn't hold that status with me, but I get it. 4.25 rounded down to 4.00 (And, finally the first album I've had above a two in three weeks)
SHE HEAVY
That’s probably the most well-known bass lines opening up Abbey Road. How did such brilliant and musically talented individuals come together? Pairing with McCartney’s impactful yet colorful bass slides, Ringo had a perfect hi-hat and tom pattern. I also read that Ringo’s left-handed approach also adds to the uniqueness of the sound. “Something” is just brilliant. George Harrison’s gifts of guitar clearly shines and tugs at all our heart strings. The lyrics, and the way he sings them, highlights Harrison’s emotional depth. There’s just something about it. McCartney tries to enter this arena, with “Oh, Darling” but when compared to “Something,” it feels like it’s better suited for a sorrowful moment in a holiday rom-com. Now it’s Lennon’s turn at desire in “I Want You (She’s So Heavy).” Lyrically simple, but Lennon’s and Harrison’s guitar play are the true spotlight of the song. It has an amazing blues feel which bound back and forth between a higher tempo, capturing how they a being driven mad, to drawn out heavy chords reflecting the deep longing. But good news, “Here Comes the Sun.” Harrison’s magic for weaving meaning lyrics and the beauty of an acoustic guitar shines brightly in this number. The album in its entirety feels like a 3, but it’s the genius of George Harrison which makes it a four for me.
It has some classic songs that I could listen to over and over, but other songs were just odd.
Another album full of classics. Here comes the Sun is glorious. Felt it fell away towards the end, perhaps because the start is so strong?
I have listened to just about all the songs on this album, however, shockingly, I had never listen to it all the way through. It’s a great album. What else is there to say?
oh yeah fuck Maxwell and his silver hammer
I’ve never heard Maxwell’s Silver Hammer wtf. Heavier and more bluesy than expected. Did from Can to Can’t sample I Want You(she’s so heavy)? This is really what I feel like I grew up listening to. Previously I probably would’ve called it like 70s or 80s rock but really thinking about it this is quintessential early 70s rock. I already knew tracks 1 - Come Together and 8 - Here Comes the Sun.
As someone who has never understood the Beatles hype, I *can* see the appeal here. There are a lot of fun songs where, if I had not already been exposed to several black bands who did these elements better, probably would have blown my mind. The hits hold up and definitely feel like foundational pieces for future pop music but again, it's just not original to me. But for a moment, I'll even let go of that context. I can listen to this without any background and still be unimpressed. There's just not a lot of imagination in the texture of the music. Everything is expected. It's good just not great. Highlights: Come Together, You Never Give Me Money
Expectation: -> High. After listening: -> A classic. With one of the most memorable album covers of all time. Enjoyed this. The top two songs here are engrained for life. Hate this Maxwell character!

I have always thought the beatles were way over rated. I don't think they're bad, just not the greatest gift to music to be universally loved. I do think they generally suffer from being the first to do so many things that have become so commonplace that it's not novel anymore. That said, almost all of my favorite beatles songs are on this album. I can't give it a 5 because there are a bunch of songs I really do no like. Come Together, Something, I Want You, Here Comes The Sun are peak music. The rest, I don't care as much for.
Ooo, my first Beatles album. And ... what a wild album. It's all over the place, but not necessarily in a bad way. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Octopus's Garden" threw me. What is this weirdness? Then it occurred to me that I've liked weirder stuff, so ok sure. Anyway, pretty darn good for the most part. Loving that medley - most of the B side in fact. Not something I'm likely to revisit too much but I wouldn't be mad if someone put it on. I'm just noticing, where are McCartney's shoes? Have you ever walked on a paved road barefoot? That shit hurts. Drugs, I tell 'ya.
Por momentos hermoso, bueno, puedo percibir que es bastante influyente pero no puedo realmente describirlo porque ya es tan escuchado y común que pierde la sorpresa, pero tiene canciones definitivamente buenas
A: The Beatles!!! Jeee. Helt roligt, gillade alla polyrythms och funky små musikdetaljer #bringbackrealmusic. Tror though dom alla har adhd. 3,5/5 D: Lustiga små gossar med lustig liten musik. Kände dock inte igen någon låt från tidigare utom solen, udda nog. 4/5
Was a little unsure about how I felt about this album in the end, but I think the A-Side is mostly pretty good, even the more whimsical and silly tracks like Octopus's Garden and Maxwells Silver Hammer. The B-Side is obviously not as strong and imo a bit random but somehow still good, it is The Beatles I suppose. Deep down I want to give it a 3, but some of these hits are undeniable, so I'll give it a 4. 4/5 Top tracks: come together, here comes the sun, I Want You (She's So Heavy), because
Dette var overraskende bra! Dette redder Beatles for meg!
Um… 😐 what I find befuddling is HOW many people LOVE Maxwells Silver Hammer. 🔨 what??? Its inclusion almost takes this, the absolute best Beatles album, down to a 4 with the rest of their uneven stuff. I agree that this album is best listened to all together. I think the medley and I want you/ she’s so heavy are brilliant. I think Paul’s bass playing is amazing. Truly. I remember when I realized that was him. But Maxwells Silver Hammer is… bang bang not a banger. Anyway- is it possible to not give this album a 5? Despite its flaws. Deep and concussive I guess it is. Because I was just reprimanded for only giving it a 5 because I am supposed to. 4 Boolean: true
I can sense Renly slow dancing as I listen to this very album
Standouts Come Together Something Maxwell's Silver Hammer Octopus's Garden Here Comes the Sun You Never Give Me Your Money The End
A Beatles album I don’t have in my collection, some decent songs on this album, but I don’t like everything on here, I’m obviously aware The Beatles are massive, but based on my listening yesterday, it’s a 4
An all timer but not about to say it's perfect from start to finish
Shockingly, I think this is the first time I’ve ever listened to this, but it obviously comes freighted with expectation and reputation. Unsurprisingly, it turns out that the millions of people who have sung its praises previously have got it right.
always thought people were joking about the beatles, but this album is so solid and you can see how they were such a big influence over the entirety of the music industry because of it. here comes the sun is possibly the best song of all time?
This is my fave Beatles album, but don't take it as a compliment. I am not particularly a fan of most of their stuff in general. "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is probably in my top 20 songs ever. That ending gets me every time. But then there are other songs I often skip, so meh-to-good overall.
9/10 album I already listened to it. Classic. Favorite song is Octopus's Garden.
I am not very familiar with the Beatles outside of pop culture. In this regard, several songs here felt familiar. I enjoyed the listen but there is something about it that escapes my reach. Maybe its because I grew up on artists that came after and/or because of the Beatles that I prefer the product of their work more than their work? I am going to score this 1 tick higher to encourage a future relisten. 4/5
For being the most well known album it kind of was mid. 7/10
Mysbeatles, mindre indiskt flum så rätt najs
One of the best
Yup, so the classic album is actually really good
Some great tracks
An iconic album, was looking forward to this. Pretty good overall, some of their best songs, and some lesser stuff added in. Overall, an enjoyable listen, and well worth the hype.
Damn. Why did no one tell me it was a prog rock album.
Most of side 2 is poo, but that notwithstanding, this is the Beatles have every sounded to me.
Great album. Love how it starts. Funny that it has Octopus's Garden
juste exceptionnel mais pas un 5 car pas assez long pour moi et jsp il manque un truc même si c'est légendaire
5-star tracks: “Something” - “Oh! Darling” - “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” - “Here Comes The Sun” - “Because” Over the years, I’ve come around to this album, but…. I still think it’s not the great album that so many Beatles fans think it is. There’re some great cuts, obviously, but I can’t shake the first impression: The lads are fried, burned out, and have nothing to say. With some notable exceptions -- including George's great tracks -- much of ABBEY ROAD reflects the toll of so many amazing recordings in such a short span (1963-1969). They must be sick of the fame, sick of the constant pressure to produce albums, and sick of each other. The keen observation and brilliant lyrics of Lennon and McCartney in the past are, for the most part, absent here. And all the unfinished ideas! Sure, the stitching together of them all on Side Two is one of the most brilliant forms of knitting together a bunch of unrealized and incomplete fragments of ideas ever, but….it doesn’t hide the fact that John and Paul, for whatever reason, just wouldn’t or couldn’t make them into fully realized songs as part of this group anymore.
Once you see the cover, the expectations go through the roof. I was surprised at how varied and experimental the album was. Like any exploration there were a few dead ends. Of the songs new to me I liked that Octopus one and the medley of short ones at the end was good too. A very well done album, but not a masterpiece.
The story of the recording of Maxwell's Silver Hammer was wild. They spent weeks on that single track at Paul's existence while the others hated it. If they had somehow managed to patch things up and carry on, I can only imagine the tsunami of repressed resentment we would have been served.
Here Comes the Sun may be George Harrison's best work.
This is the face of music. There isnt much I can add other than of course you need to listen to this until you die.
Best Track - "Here Comes The Sun"
8/10
