I thought it was going to be better, although it has iconic songs I have to admit
heard it all before, not bangers.
I got about halfway through it and still need to finish all of it. I was very excited to listen to this album because I love The Beatles but, unfortunately, life can get in the way of good music. I’ll give it 3 stars because I’m only halfway done with it and will listen to it again, I’m sure.
I've only heard the most popular Beatles songs. Honestly, these are better.
Good ole Beatles. Pretty psychedelic vibes here. Not my fav but it is pretty good
I Want You is just way to long and ends almost painfully, an absolute low point Come Together and Because are the absolute highlights A fun mix and instrumentalistion, but still lackluster imo 6/10
Basic nummers zijn heel erg simpel maar boeien me niet super veel, de bluesy nummers zijn wel heel sick. Beste nummer is denk ik I Want You (She's So Heavy) Ziek album omdat ze legit de eerste waren die dit soort muziek maakten.
- my favorite Beatles album - some good songs that I DO enjoy listening to when they are on, but for some reason I never find myself queuing them up myself
3.5
It's ok. I may not be mainstream but this music just does not excite me. Some of the songs have nonsensical lyrics that feel less like poetry than just word salad. Not impressed and not going to rate it high just because society tells you to do so.
Maxwell's Silver Hammer is one of the worst songs ever written. This is a recurring theme for Paul McCartney, a man responsible for some of the greatest crimes in music and who deserves his day in The Hague. It is the only thing saving the Raffi-ass Octopus's Garden from being one of the all time worst things The Beatles ever did. Or Mean Mr. Mustard, or I Want You (She's So Heavy), or Polythene Pam, or Because, or Sun King, or or or There are about four good songs on this album. Some of them are great even (Here Comes The Sun, Carry That Weight), some are a little better than good (Something, Come Together). The Beatles remain overrated and hiding better, more important artists in their shadow
Meh. John and George's songs on side A are the only decent stuff in here. Side B is just some unfinished tracks patched together.
I want youu
Let me preface: I am not what you would call a fan of the Beatles. They have some great songs that I quite enjoy, and I find Sgt Pepper to be a truly great album. I had not listened to Abbey Road as an album. It has some good songs, no doubt, I would go so far to say there's not a miss on the album. But I wasn't left feeling enriched or heightened after listening. I'm not excited to roll back around to Come Together. It felt, to me, like "here's a set of songs the Beatles made."
weird, some interesting bits here and there, but that's about it.
some songs i liked some songs i didnt. most of them i did not like. at least their math was correct in this one
it was okay, thought the transitions were kinda weird and having a 7:47 long song end abruptly was weird. she's So heavy
Meh, come together is fun, but like this is such stupid psychedelic songwriting. It is truly children’s music. Yo Gabba Gabba Level Yall !
Not their best album. Pretty mid overall, save for a couple key tracks (Come Together, Here Comes...) Whatever, I'm only a third through this project and I'm getting pretty fucking irritated with the narrow scope and bias towards mainstreamers like Bob Dylan and these guys, so ANOTHER BEATLES ALBUM got my patience gooooood and short.
Not my favorite of their works, but some bangers.
the album was honestly super boring, way too old for my taste and didn't really excite me or anything. 4/10.
would never understand beatles.
I do not like the Beatles.
meh
Finally we're here, the album that invented literally every genre of music. The band that every single artist, living or dead, got 110% of their inspiration from. The objectively best album of the past, present, and future. And four songs in I really have to say... ...it's kinda mid tbh. Damn Her Majesty really tied the whole album together
Yes. The beetles. I had my fix when I was 17/18. I'm ok forever now.
Not for me.
i enjoy the covers people have done more than the original but i can respect the influence though.
Overrated. Couple of good songs, but not the typical singles.
Wasn't a huge fan. I didn't like the psychedelic pop sound. I enjoyed the songs "Something" and "Octopus's Garden."
Didn’t really like it Fav : something/oh darling
I'm just not a big fan of Beatles.
just not a beatles fan
rating: 2/5 what a way to start this..... this album mostly just made me wish i was listening to led zeppelin. mid highs and low lows but in all honesty, it wasnt as bad as i thought. i kinda liked about a quarter of the songs and hated the other ones. i cannot get over the beatles sheep sounding ahhh harmonies but this album actually had less of that than i thought. overall just mid, not my thing my ranking, with everything above come together added to my playlists: i want you something oh darling golden slumbers come together the end you never give me all my money she came through the bathroom window carry that weight polythene pam sun king mean mister mustard because her majesty here comes the sun octopus garden maxwells silver hammer come together - fine something - quite nice actually maxwells silver hammer - this is exactly what i think of when i think of the beatles, just hate it oh darling - hate those sheep sounding beatles ahhhs but actually goes kinda hard halfway through octopus garden - just awful, some parts actually okay, i like the chord progression but that chorus is so horrible it ruins it all i want you, shes so heavy - yeah this is good, love the time sig change, quite vibey here comes the sun - yeah no not for me, like half the reason i made not liking the beatles part of my personality because - no thanks you never give me all your money - incredibly mid sun king - what is happening mean mister mustard - what is happening?? polythene pam - what is happening??? but it sounds better than the previous two she came through the bathroom window - why arent these 4 songs one big song that wouldve been so much better, this ones the best so far i think golden slumbers - beautiful song but i dont like his voice, always love covers of this one though carry that weight - yeah just waiting for this album to be over at this point, plus for the brass section and mini guitar solo but overall a no the end - i wish it was, but alas, this is fine ig but just not that interesting to me, points for the guitar solo her majesty - never been happier something lasted only 25 seconds
Never been a fan of the Beatles, and I am familiar with this album already.
jednostavno ne razumijem... a htio sam da mi se svidi, mislio sam da ako išta od njih valja, onda je to ovo. krenimo redom, prve dvije stvari potpuno zaboravljive ("come together" i "something"), potom ide najbolja pjesma na albumu ("maxwell's silver hammer", nešto što tu i tamo poslušam). zatim bezvezna i trunku naporna "oh, darling!". onda ide neloša pjesma "octopus's garden", nakon koje ide "she's so heavy", o kojoj sam čuo svašta, mahom same pohvale. no pjesma je lenonovo naporno i nesnosno zavijanje i bluz izdrkavanje. i to je kraj prve strane. drugu stranu otvara "here comes the sun", još jedna u stvari meni dobra pjesma, ali u konačnici ništa posebno. zatim "because", posebno bezvezna, čime počinje niska manje-više povezanih pjesmuljaka koji u svojem uglavnom kratkom trajanju ništa ne postignu i završe. i to je to...? ne razumijem. odsad ulažem nade u bijeli album koji će mi valjda valjati. ne znam. sve u svemu ovo je teško razočaranje i zbog toga je dvojka
I don't get the Beatles. It's just so simple, and their songs aren't that catchy. This record was better than some of the other albums this stupid project has forced me to hear, but I promise you that no one needs to listen to 7 albums of this boring shit before they die.
I don't care for the beatles. I generally think they're mid. I was thus expecting to give this album a 1 or 2 at best. I was pleasantly surprised by a few songs, but most were forgettable as I expected. The kind of songs you put on and forget you are listening to after a few minutes. Favs: Octopus' garden, I want you so heavy & the End.
The first Beatles album to come up for me on this list and I know a lot of them are already 5s, so I am definitely a fan. But… Abbey Road is not the best Beatles album. Perhaps their most overrated though. Patchy. Production is good though.
I went in expecting not to enjoy this album as I'm not too big on the Beatles. Hence 'Come Together' was a nice surprise. It was followed by a few more okay songs, but then it just went straight into that super boring Beatles sound I just don't like.
4/1089 Scroobius Pip: _The Beatles? *Just a band.*_ Have they got some bangers? Definitely, and this record is no different. Hugely influential? Undeniably. A PBS kids show version of rock'n'roll? Assuredly.
Not so keen on the beatles
Alright
I mean, it's ok, but in a list of 1001 albums to listen to before you die?? Really???
dont really get it
I am intensely and infinitely bored by the Beatles. I've heard all the albums, I've heard all the reasons I should like them, but I don't. However, over the years my hatred towards the Fab 4 has softened to ambivalence. This time around, "Octopus's Garden" and "Here Comes the Sun" stand out as being alright, but this is otherwise a bloated slog of an album. Generally bored and annoyed to, wishing I was listening to almost anything else. Because I didn't loathe it and there were two songs i kind of enjoyed, I will give Abbey Road a 2, which is one more star than I anticipated giving it.
Nervt etwas, nicht zu Ende gehört weil nervt pro Lied etwas mehr
Test note
Not a fan
I hadn't heard any of these songs before, and it is the (currently) highest rated album on the list, so I was really looking forward to seeing what all the hype was about. The album was ok. It was well produced and well sung, but I'm just not a Beatles fan. I can totally see why people love this album, but I just don't got how it could be the absolute highest rated one on the entire list. It has some good songs, but they're mixed in with a bunch of not so good. Started out fairly nice with Come Together, but then Something was just weird. The high point of the whole album came next with Maxwell's Silver Hammer, that one was a lot of fun. I Want You was not so terrible, but it just was way too long. Here Comes The Sun was another good one. But the Because brought it right back down. I have no idea what they were trying to do with Sun King, but it didn't work. She Came In Through The Bedroom Window was all right. And the last couple tracks were totally forgettable. I do like a handful of Beatles songs, but this album just is not my thing. I've had two other Beatles albums so far (With The Beatles and Revolver), gave them both 3s, but this one I just can't push past a 2. Best song: Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Not a huge fan of the Beatles...there were 2 songs that I really liked...but otherwise I could do without it. Some that stood out enough for me to make note... - Maxwell’s Silver Hammer is an annoying song - I hate the song Octopus’s Garden - Mean Mr Mustard is a dumb song
(farting noise)
Wohnhafter Schläfer
Once again, I wish you could give half ratings on these. This album is a good 2.5/5 for me. Not my favorite thing ever, not even close, but it has some redeeming qualities. Especially the sequence from "Golden Slumbers" to "Her Majesty." I'm a sucker for strings and these filled every checkbox. "Oh! Darling" satisfies my inner love of doo-wop and fascination with being a teen in the 50s. It sounds like a prom in 1950s California. The harmonies on "Octopus's Garden" are sick, the drums on "The End" are insane. Yeah, I think I still like The White Album more, but that sequence puts up a hard fight.
I loved this when it first came out and I was 10 years old. By the time I graduated high school it felt overplayed to me. Everyone deserves a chance to experience the anew tho
I mean it’s ok….Here comes the sun is undoubtedly a tune, I also like Something. And I didn’t even realise Golden Slumbers was a Beatles song I recognised it from Sing lol But lots of not great tracks too.
It’s a great album but my taset
Easily could've been 7 songs shorter, far too long imo.
Surprisingly refreshing in parts, dreadful dirge mostly
woah so underground
Beatles is not my thing...
mi madre es gran fan de los beatles, y algunas canciones he escuchado de ellos. están wenas sus canciones o su sonido en general, pero este álbum no fue tanto para mí. tal vez lo tenga que escuchar un par de veces más para apreciarlo mejor. a medida que voy escuchando los álbumes creo que no tengo ninguna cultura musical jajaja, pero weno, para eso hago esto. no está mal pero tampoco me ha parecido una locura.
Aside from Come Together, the rest of this album is uneventful.
A couple of hits but otherwise kind of meh.
It’s alright. I never really liked the Beatles
Oh great, another Beatles album… It’s fine, upbeat, poppy, fairly interesting songs.
Ok but glad its finished
this album may have made other people fans of the beatles
Some good
2.5 Supposedly this is the single highest rated album on the site - and I just don’t get it. I do feel like I get it just a little bit more after having listened to All Things Must Pass, but at the same time, I also feel like that just makes me frustrated knowing McCartney and Lennon were continuing to stifle Harrison’s creative efforts here just to serve up crap of their own like Maxwell’s Silver Hammer and I Want You (She’s So Heavy). Honestly, the only two good songs on the album are George’s (Something and Here Comes the Sun), and I find it so vindicating for him that the latter would go onto become one of the most well-known songs by the group, and currently their most popular on Spotify as of this writing. As for the rest of this album - meh. Call me a contrarian or even uncultured if you want, but I’ve always found Come Together to be a bit boring, and the Ringo song here… well, it’s certainly a Ringo song. I will, however, give credit to the back half for doing something totally different and innovative with the eight-song medley that concludes it. I’m not sure if this kind of thing had been done before on a mainstream release, but regardless, I thought it kept things interesting and prevented the album from growing too stale. That to say, there weren’t a ton of individual moments about the medley in particular that jumped out to me, but the combination of Carry That Weight and The End do admittedly conclude it nicely - though I think I largely just appreciate The End due the Beastie Boys later sampling it on The Sounds of Science from Paul’s Boutique. A song which is, frankly, better than anything found here (Ponce de Leon, constantly on!) I do like the ending line, “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make” as simple as it is, but at the same time, the first thing that jumps to mind when I hear it is Chris Farley asking Sir Paul about the lyric on The Chris Farley Show. Pretty overrated album, but there are certainly highlights here to be found. I will give it this - it does have quite possibly the greatest and most iconic album cover of all-time. It’d probably be impossible to count the number of times the image has been recreated and parodied, but as for my association, I always think of a time spent dissecting a poster of it in my cousin’s bedroom to find all the clues it contains about Paul’s death. Shoutout to Emily!
Ok
did not realize how overrated this album is
Still can’t see what all the fuss was about. OK but nothing great. Maybe everything before was worse…?
I respect, understand, and see the greatness and influence the Beatles had on music. I just wish I personally enjoyed their music a little more in practice.
Not as bad as I expected but only a couple of songs I particularly appreciated.
Still don't care for them
J'avais déjà écouté l'année dernière, j'ai pas réécouté je le log pour les stats
Not bad. Only song I liked was Oh Darling. The rest sounded repetitive and did not catch my interest.
Don’t see why the Beatles were so popular the only song I liked was here comes the Sun 2.75
couple good tracks. here comes the sun and something....
1. come together - 2.5 2. zomething - 3 3. mazuuellz zilver hammer - 1 4. oh darling - 2 5. octopuzez garden - 1 6. i uuant you - 3 7. here comez the zun - 1.5 8. becauze - 1.5 9. you never give me your money - 1 10. zun king - 1.5 11. mean mr muztard - 1 12. polythene pam - 1 13. golden zlumberz - 1 14. carry the uueight - 1 15. the end - 1 16.
The genius of track one cannot be overstated, and track two is a solid entry, but I don't dig the rest of this album of choruses. Okay, the octopus one is kind of fun, too. I appreciate how enormous The Beatles are for the development of modern music, but it doesn't mean I'm going to listen to this album again.
Completely Overrated! Music sounds flat and boring
Don't believe the hype it's pretty ropey
It's the Beatles. Over hyped, over played. Out done by many other artists. One exception on this album was Oh! Darling which was an absolute banger. Unfortunately book ended by two total duds. Sure there are some good songs on the album but as a whole it has several odd transitions, songs that have completely different pace from the previous and the album doesn't flow or feel cohesive.
Points for being the last Beatles album, thus bringing Paul McCartney one step closer to his career highlight: co-writing the "Live And Let Die" theme song.
Used to really hate the Beatles, but hearing their contemporaries made me appreciate them a little more. This is way ahead of its years, but I still don't like it.
Same old boring beatles
Nicht sooo gut. Ich muss mal hart sein und gebe nur 2 Sterne wegen der vielen banalen Songs. Bspw. ist Maxwell‘s Silver Hammer, mit dessen überpenibler Fertigstellung Paul Ringo und George genervt haben soll, dazu auch noch völlig verzichtbar.
Van kinds af aan gebombardeerd onder het mom van cultuur met saaie dingen. Je moet Reve lezen dat is de top van de literatuur, je moet The Godfather kijken, want dat is dé filmklassieker. Én minimaal 70 van de 100 muzieklessen op school kreeg je de Beatles voor je plaat. Want dat is het beste wat er zou zijn op muziekgebied. Waag het allemaal maar niets te vinden, en je bent een cultuurbarbaar. Andere smaken worden niet makkelijk geaccepteerd. Tja, dat is dan maar zo. Ik heb toch een andere smaak. Ik vind het allemaal saai, zelfs zo saai dat het me op mijn zenuwen werkt. Ik kan mij voorstellen dat anderen het wel aardig vinden. Maar de hoge ratings van dit soort dingen lijken mij meer bepaald door de (onbewuste) culturele plicht om het goed te moeten vinden. Maar goed. Dit album zag ik natuurlijk wel aankomen. En je moet het een kans geven. Gelukkig is het eerste nummer een aardige start. Dat helpt mijn mindset. Net op tijd, want nummer 2 is exact zo'n voorbeeld van op mijn zenuwen werkend saai. Ik ben het hele album doorgekomen en trof her en der toch een aardig nummer aan. Maar meer dan 2 sterren. Ik zou echt niet weten waarom...
Kinda mid, and boring even though it has diverse soundscape
overrated asf not even top 5 best Beatles albums imo
Beatlesia. Mitä sitä muuta lisäämään.
saai
Nope
Boring
My very least favourite version of The Beatles Here Comes The Sun is v.good Because is good
I quite enjoyed it, the songs sounded like dittys, conversations and were quirky and enjoyable enough. I could not see me downloading it though.
Me aburre
El disco de The Beatles que siempre me ha aburrido más. Buen estreno en la lista
overrated
respect voor zijn tijdsgeest, zou het niet nog eens luisteren
ts pmo
Not for me and I swear we already had thus
Overrated
Awful boring pile of nonsense.
I’m just not a Beatles fan. The whole ‘they did everything for music’ Is a joke. They were just sex symbols at the time had a few hits, job done. Didn’t even give this a listen because I know my thoughts on them
it was fine. frankly i wanna rate it lower just because of how fine it turned out to be after 50+ years of hype
Corny
Nope over rated
Boring 1/5
Too old. Some classic hits
BORING
no.
Ion like the beatles
cum
Can’t do it. I will be a hater until the day I die.
Not a fan
60’s
Hot garbage. Awful
Boring
Don't like The Beatles
A moment of cross cultural insanity. What is this shit. Lyrics you'd be embarrassed if a child wrote
Wow
Classic
Bla bla
