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.
La història és coneguda: banda en plena descomposició, temes més individuals que de grup, medley final per poder treure alguna cosa profitable de les gravacions... Malgrat tot, aquí viuen cançons com 'Here Comes the Sun' i 'Something', cúspides de Harrison com a compositor; 'Come Together', 'Carry That Weight', 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer', el dur 'I Want You' o, perquè no, 'Octopus's Garden'... tot un tour de force per acabar de manera brillant la trajectòria de la banda més important del segle XX
Битлз)
I quite enjoyed it, the songs sounded like dittys, conversations and were quirky and enjoyable enough. I could not see me downloading it though.
Ringo is underrated, Paul is genius, harmonies are super cool. Guitars sound like cheap crap from today, mixing is weird af, too stereo for headphones.
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.
An incredible achievement- that a band breaking-up can produce an album of such intensity, intrigue and curiosity is simply stunning. This is no songs-by-numbers album but an attempt to push themselves creatively, musically, aesthetically - this album solidifies The Beatles’ status as art. Endlessly rewarding.
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
Some excellent Beetles classics - good to listen to it in its entirety
Perfect
One of the all time great albums. The medley in the second half towards the end of the album is divine.
Man, what can I say. One of the g.o.a.t.s, so many incredible songs; from the known (Here Comes The Sun, Come Together) to the lesser known... (Octopuses Garden, I Want You (She's So Heavy)) and never afraid to be wacky and creative with songs like Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Polythene Pam. I really like how Golden Slumbers and Carry That Weight carry the album to the end. And "Something" has to be the best love song I have ever heard. The Beatles' last recorded album carries them out with a bang! a concrete 5
starts off really strong, but the medley is weird. made a big best of beatles playlist after listening.
My favorite Beatles album. Love every bit of this except the granny song, Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. 5
Achei muito bom, mais do que o esperado. Gostei muito das linhas de baixo desse álbum todo, pra mim certamente foi o destaque. Irei ouvir mais vezes
yeah yeah its Beatles its a fantastic set of songs. But as an album it is pretty inconsistent nowhere as gratifying listen as say Revolver or Sgt Peppers so 3/5
hey where is jack malik??
10/10 how could you not love the beatles dingdong
Wow
Really great music. Can't knock the Beatles - good production, good cover art, good musicality, good depth of emotion/lyricism. Love it.
Amazing album <3
Genius
BeeeUhls!!!!!! \m/\m/ Best Evar and one of the greatest and most listenable albums there is.
I mean, come on
Classic. But wasn’t feeling it yesterday.
Side A is good Side B is amazing. 5/5
Jams for days.
I've heard this album so many times. Top 3 from the Beatles for me.
!!!
Few very good songs but a lot of fill
I’ve already listened to this it’s very good.
A masterpiece. I’ve heard it hundreds of time, and will thousands more.
Listened to this the first 3 times today. Don’t understand how I’ve never heard this before
ok. this is one of my all time favorite albums the fact it was the first one is honestly hilarious. first of all, starting with come together???? ok being real, not my Favorite beatles song ever, but what a song to start with. and then straight into SOMETHING. LIKE GOD. it’s literally one of the like best love songs ever written, like it never fails to make me feel all warm n fuzzy. maxwells silver hammer, such an underrated song. like it’s a lil stupid but it’s just a fun lil tune. oh darling fun lil song, and OCTUPUS’S GARDEN. ok ringo is my favorite beatle, and this song is so underrated. he literally was just like (british accent)”i wanna sing abt an octopus lads” and everyone was just like “ok whatever ringo” and GOOD FOR HIM!! she’s so heavy is a song that just makes me feel like cool as hell when i listen to it. like it’s repetitive sure but the instrumentals are sooooo good. here comes the sun is just classic, i don’t even have to say anything abt her. ok, controversial, because is not really my fave, and i honestly wish the A side of this album finished with shes so heavy instead. ok. B side medley. literally some of the best 16 minutes of music ever. ok the beginning of you never give me your money always gives me chills, esp the like bass riffs. sun king is very chill, honestly used to not care for it much but now its a highlight for me. mean mr mustard and polythene pam are more of those songs that on the surface r just fun lil tunes. ok the transition between the end of polythene pam and she came in through the bathroom window is just. MWAH. not to mention that that song is so good too. now on to my literal favorite beatles song(s) ever. Golden Slumbers/Carry that Weight. words do not even describe how much i love these two songs. everything about golden slumbers has made me cry an embarrassing amount of times. and carry that weight is just one of those like. screaming catharsis songs. they aren’t complete without each other, and as a pair they are in my top 5 songs of all time. the end is literally like classic: “and in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make” like that like is SOOO fucking good. and ringos drum solo! u go thomas the train. her majesty is so good, i get why it’s so short ofc but i wish it were more than like 30 seconds bc i’ve always really loved it. imo, this is literally one of the best albums every made. like i know it’s very VERY boomer, but it literally is classic and i feel like the first time listening to it is a whole experience.
They only had 7 years to be the Beatles, so rhats why there are songs like maxwell's silver hammer on every Beatles album. This is excellent though, even with the silly Beatles stuff. Easy 4, they'll get a five on another album.
Of course it has classic tracks, though due to this being my first listen I didn't get as excited about the album as others would. I will probably rediscover this album at some point in my life where it's more relevant. Overall enjoyable, can't go wrong.
Good
These guys are always tough to rate - sometimes giving too much credit other times not enough. Either way, I enjoyed this one which included some real hits along with some quirkier songs. I preferred the rock side to the fantasy or folk on this album compared to others. Come together, something, carry that weight.
Almost perfect record of it wasn’t for Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, which breaks the pace and feel of the record.
One of the greatest albums ever made by anybody. A tremendous achievement by an incredible band
Delightful!
One of the 5 essential Beetles albums, if you don’t know this album then you’re in luck. You get to listen to it for the first time. The sound of youth.
idk why I chose to listen to the super deluxe version
L'album est excellent mais je n'ai pas envie de m'éterniser là-dessus. Non, ce dont j'ai envie de parler aujourd'hui, c'est le sentiment de pitié que j'éprouve envers l'enfance de mon compagnon d'écoute que vous commencez à connaître ; je veux bien entendu parler du dénommé ltrapeze. Voyez-vous, pendant que mes parents jouaient très régulièrement les Beatles dans mon salon, ltrapeze n'avait pas le droit au même traitement. Pour lui, l'ambiance au domcile familiale était quelque peu différente. Tantôt ce sont les reprises de Michal sur le plateau de la Star Ac 3 qui inondaient l'espace sonores de la maison, tantôt le single Premier Love de Tony Parker que ses parents avaient l'habitude de laisser tourner en boucle tout l'après-midi. Pour le petit ltrapeze, interdiction formelle de montrer tout signe d'intérêt pour une chanson qui n'entrait pas dans le champ des artistes précités. Un événement survenu en 2009 aurait pourtant pu changer la donne. Alors que la famille était réunie autour d'un poulet au caramel préparé par un traiteur thaïlandais du bas de la rue et que le poste radio chantait ♫ on s'est connus on était gosses t'étais mon premier love, bien avant le basket, mon premier titre, toujours ensemble, à l'epoque on était croques l'un de l'autre♫, ltrapeze se leva discrètement et appuya sur un bouton de ce même poste, faisant passer celui-ci de l'option CD à l'option FM. La famille se tut en cœur et ses parents cessèrent de frapper leurs cuisses pour marquer le rythme. Tous les regards se dirigeaient bientôt vers ltrapeze qui affichait un visage des plus crispés. La radio nasilla soudain ♫ come together right now over me ♫. L'atmosphère était irrespirable. "Retouche le bouton" lança alors le père Trapeze à son fils. Ce dernier maintint l'expression crispée qu'il arborait depuis maintenant un moment. "Oui, retouche le bouton s'il te plaît" intervint la mère Trapeze à son même fils. Ce dernier s'exécuta et le poste s'écria soudain ♫ on était jeunes on était fous à qui la faute on n'était rien sans l'autre ♫. La vie avait repris son cours.
yeah sorry i don't get it
Oh fuck yeah my favorite Beatles album. 5 stars.
One of my all time favorites
I liked it. It has some solid tracks such as "Come Together", "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", "Here Comes The Sun", etc. Is it my favorite of all time though? Nope. Some tracks just don't have what it takes. Good experience, though.
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
AWESOME
My personal favourite Beatles Album, (after The Best of the Beatles - Alan Partridge Quote). I can't describe it as under-rated but I always thought that it lives in the shadow of Sgt Pepper. Released three weeks before I was born. 5 stars.
That weight their taling about is john legons fat nuts...lol
Who cares if the band was unwinding at this point? This is the greatest Greatest Hits album of songs that have never been heard before — of all time. Perfect in every way, this is the Beatles at the height of their power.
Fantastic album! Not a single track on here I don't, at the very least, absolutely love. 5/5.
A classic
14th July 2021 Listened to the vinyl in the evening on my first day at the FT while me and jen made a celebratory morrocan style dinner. Funny one because it's held up as one of the greatest albums of all time and it does have some totally amazing songs but also a few that I don't think are that great through the second half.
Objectively good album, just not my kind of music
Un clásico, vamos. Curiosamente cinemático. Qué temazo que es "Something". Hay que darle crédito a Ringo por "Octopus's Garden" no será el magnum opus de los Beatles, pero tiene cierto encanto especial. "I want you" tiene un final curiosamente oscuro y pesado para ser la canción anterior a "Here comes the sun". Quizá la intención está en ese contraste ¡ajá!
Must have been amazing at the time. Not really my thing but clearly a very impressive album. Still sounds modern today.
Aujourd'hui aurait du être un jour historique. En effet, en cette matinée du 20 juillet 2021 le générateur dévoilait son chouchou, la coqueluche de l'audimat générateurien, Abbey Road des Beatles. Ce review aurait pu permettre de dire tout le bien que je pense de cet album classique, mais malheureusement aujourd'hui l'essentiel n'est pas là. En effet, aujourd'hui, robpaupière a definitivement passé un cap dans le mauvais goût et la provocation, il a franchi la ligne irreversible qui va me pousser a devoir lui regler son compte. Pour vous remettre un peu dans le contexte, rob est mon "camarade" d'écoute. Nous avons effectué nos classes au sein de notre établissement scolaire ensemble, et dès son plus jeune âge, rob démontrait de sacrées dispositions a la musique de merde. En effet, son lecteur mp3 de l'epoque laissait échapper des sonorités nauséabondes de James Arthur, auquel rob vouait un culte total, malgré mon incompréhension la plus totale. Un beau jour de mars, je faisait suscintement mention de ce générateur à rob, qui fut de suite alerté et s'incrusta de force dans cette aventure, me forçant, et ce malgré mon consentement, à creer un groupe afin que nous puissions écouter les mêmes albums en simultané. C'est alors que les véritables problèmes débutèrent. Chaque jour depuis mars, je subis les commentaires musicaux catastrophiques de rob. Il les étale absolument partout: du Cruisaders au petit déjeuner, du Sonic Youth au gouter, du Finley Quaye pour terminer la journée. C'est une ribambelle de groupes tous plus moyens/mauvais les uns que les autres que rob prend en admiration, et dont il me rabache les mérites chaque jour que dieu fait. Mais alors même que cette situation est déjà extremement difficile a vivre vous en conviendrez, aujourd'hui marque un tournant. En effet, en plus de cet album des Beatles, que comme vous l'avez compris nous ne commenteront pas aujourd'hui, nous avions un album de retardà rattraper: Freak Out!, de la bande de l'ignoble Frank Zappa. Cet album absolument affreux - que j'ai déjà ouvertement critiqué dans ma désormais célèbre review dont on vient regulierement me parler (merci à vous pour cela) - a été hautement apprécié par l'effarant robtunnel. Il apprecie en effet son côté "experimental". Il est de notoriété public que rob cherche depuis toujours à se donner un genre de connaisseur un peu snob qui ne prend pas avec moi, mais considérer 15mn de cris d'animaux et de bruits de cuisine comme de la musique experimentale, c'est un peu fort de Roquefort. En plus de cela, alors que je commencais a liberer un flot d'insultes à l'egard de rob pour cette opinion desastreuse, comme beaucoup trop souvent, j'eu le malheur de faire reference a une artiste que j'apprecie enormement, la déesse Lana del Rey, regrettant sa non presence dans la liste au profit de tels albums de merde (je fais ici bien reference a l'album de la troupe de l'handicapé Frank Zappa). Rob, en fin non connaisseur musical, me retorquera que Lana del Rey n'a pas sa place dans cette liste des 1001, et surtout pas a la place du zoo de Zappa. C'en était trop pour moi, et j'ai donc décidé de menacer physiquement rob, que j'affornterai à mon retour en France dans un combat a mains nues. Je suis plutôt serein, rob ayant le physique de ses idées, il ne ferait pas de mal a une mouche, hormis peut etre en lui presentant sa playlist Spotify. Je vous tiendrai au courant du déroulé de comba très prochainement, à bientôt chers lecteurs.
"Let's get together and do one more like we used to" McCartney to George Martin Driven by McCartney and Martin this album brought all 5 of them in the studio one more time at the peak of their skills to record an album that to this day is hard to compete with. From the vocal harmonies to the well placed guitars, the bass guitar lines that sing to Ringo's amazing use of tom Tom's and high hat to the studio wizardry of GM there is not a note, a flourish, a hand clap, that is not perfectly placed whether intentional or not. It is the 5 of them in the zone one last time. This album is a masterpiece that other groups can only envy to this day. Each Beatle contributes in special ways to expand the richness and depth of each song; Paul's bass on Something is integral to its greatness, the guitar duel on Carry that Weight played live from the floor is amazing. The masterpiece that is the melody on side two is possibly the finest piece of music ever written in pop music. It is mind blowing! This album shows their mastery in the studio. I have been listening to this album for over 50 years and it's still fresh, warm, emotional, energetic. I am in from the first note (I dare you not to sing along!). From the day it first came out to studying its impact in my English class to listening to the remastered version, its brilliance continues to have an impact on me. Favorites: Here Comes the Sun, Oh Darling, Because and at the top of the list McCartney's masterpiece the Medley. Also the entirety of She Came in Through the Bathroom Window and the melody within the melody, You Never Give Me Your Money. A tour de force.
It's the Beatles, albeit separately. Brilliant
An intricate and effortless masterpiece, the last round-up for the Beatles. The album is split into two distinct sections, with side one holding the strange, the silly, the rock'n'roll heavy, while side two contains a cycle of songs that is some of the band's strongest arrangements. Credit where credit is due, George Martin made some of these short tracks into something grand and so repeatable. Fav Tracks: Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, Something, Come Together.
Unassailable. A masterpiece of a swan song from one of the most innovative pop acts of all time. Both Georges really shine on this record, but Paul's downright magical medley is the starring attraction. There's something really appealing about just how coherent this record is in spite of the obvious reflection of each member's unique style. I'm using this opportunity to revisit the 2019 remaster and there's a lot of wonderful detail I'm hearing on these mixes. For example, the little acoustic stereo hits during the Something bridge (starting at 1:15). I'm not sure there's a lot I can say that hasn't already been said about this record, but it's that rare one that deserves all the praise it gets. Favourite songs: Something, Oh! Darling, Here Comes the Sun, Because, You Never Give Me Your Money, Golden Slumbers, Her Majesty
Excellent
Me aburre
El disco de The Beatles que siempre me ha aburrido más. Buen estreno en la lista
I mean shit, its the Beatles, and one of their most famous albums if not one of the THE most famous albums from any band or individual. Shit is pretty good with three or more classic hits.
Could take it or leave it heard all these songs ad nauseam my whole life if i never heard it again it wouldnt bother me
Classic. Here Comes The Sun and Octopuses Garden two of my all time favorites.
Not my fave Beatles album but still a big fan of this
classic album, always 5/5
Good but not their best album.
A masterpiece, the best Beatles album, and - by my reckoning - the third best album ever recorded.
Confession: I have never actually listened to this album. Obviously I've heard most of the songs. I am surprised by how somber the whole thing feels.
Medley was cool, but none of the songs were really memorable in their own right. Harrison carried the hell out of it
Can’t hate on the beatles
Bless up such a good album
The best beatles album
10 outta 10. Duh
Classic
Well lel
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.
Good album. A classic. Particularly enjoyed: I want you Maxwell’s Silver Hammer Because
Tja...
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 👌
Enorm divers en uitdagende plaat. Zo'n enorme muzikale ontwikkeling tov hun begintijd. Geen 5 sterren want er zijn nog betere Beatles platen dan deze 🙂
Ons trouwlied: here comes the sun 😍.
one of their best albums
One of the best albums if have ever heard :)
Our first album on the Global Top Ten and this one actually fits the hype. Songs are solid throughout and a wide variety of sounds because the different members will take the lead on different songs. I know understand a bit more why the Beatles have their own radio station and why people debate who their favorite Beatle is.
One of the greatest albums ever recorded. Starts out with my all time favorite Beatles tune - “Come Together” and then followed by a bunch of really good tracks. Some rock, some mesmerize, some pop and all four of the boys contributed some of their best songwriting to this disc: (George- Here Comes the Sun, and Something; Ringo - Octopuses Garden; Paul - tracks 7-9; John - the aforementioned Come Together). 5 Stars!
It’s Abbey Road, innit?
Pretty good album, wouldn’t choose to listen to it again but wouldn’t turn it off. There’s too many massive hits on there to not enjoy it.
The Beatles final album. Abbey Road uses a "less is more" approach to production throughout, giving "Come Together" a controlled intensity while the raw sound of Paul's voice on "Oh! Darling" is one of the album's highlights. The sound of a whole band working together flawlessly is heard through this. One of their most consistent albums. 5/5
Overrated
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.
Great song, some not that much
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?
I thought it was going to be better, although it has iconic songs I have to admit
Just great
Mostly good and second half is like one long song across multiple tracks. 7/10.
a classic! still rocking
Paar nette Sachen dabei
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!
All my Beatles knowledge came from various compilations over the years, so I never really knew which songs came from what albums. I should've guessed from the way people spoke on the album, but I was surprised by how so many of the Beatles bangers were on this one. || I thought about finding a way to justify less than a 5 because sometimes I'm sick of the Beatles always getting heaped praise, but like, this Album is still gold all the way through, and was astronomical in size, scope, and influence. || Not sure if the remastered mix makes it more clear, or if I never noticed before, but I loved the bass throughout, and little adjustments in the background like synthesizers and other embellishments I never noticed before! Really amplified songs, without making it too crowded.
Oh darling is nice
Semibängeri Helt najs beatles joonejtillika
Used to live on Abbey Road!! Great album - Beatles emerging from throw away 60s pop to some progressive pop / rock
The Beatles were quite good, weren’t they? Octopus’ Garden is a certified banger.
4
overrated
Yes!
As good as it has ever been <3
heard it all before, not bangers.
It's the Beatles, of course it's great. But I do think they have a few albums I like more.
One of the greatest albums of all time. Just perfect.
What’s not to love?
Classic. Hard to not like it.
+ Here Comes the Sun + Come Together + Something + Oh! Darling
Not bad
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.
Got this for Aubrey on vinyl solid album

One of my favorite Beatles albums
No
Can’t argue with that can you. Even if it did have a spastic hammer on it
Good album yeh?
A glorious epitaph.
:)
I enjoyed this a lot more than Revolver. It's a bit more tame, but I enjoy the simplicity and simple genius of many of the songs. So many classics!
One of the greatest albums by the greatest band of all time
Their masterpiece, highlights how different the individual members had become but at the same time their individuality compliments the album. McCartney at his most creative (the final medley from golden slumbers to the end especially , George with possibly the 2 best songs on the album and Lennon throws In his usual quirky genius (I want you and come together
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.
Beatles again? I know this album. Pass
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.
I've only heard the most popular Beatles songs. Honestly, these are better.
we love
A classic album, what can be said, Beatles at their best.
classic
classic
Is Maxwell's silver hammer an object swung by Maxwell or just a fiercely loyal semi-inanimate object? Things we may never know.
a classic with surprisingly more great songs than I expected
Good ole Beatles. Pretty psychedelic vibes here. Not my fav but it is pretty good
One of the best albums from the Beatles, can't give it anything other than a 5 stars
Still love this one. So many bangers. The whole B side is simply masterful
A classic!
Heard this a few hundo times. Still awesome focused on middle songs, Because - Polythene Pam. Under appreciated by me in the past.
Some great moments but all a little fractured. Past their peak.
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
- 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
Beetles
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.
What can be said about this album that hasn't already been said. It's a masterpiece. Something is one of the greatest love songs ever written. Here comes the sun is beautiful. I want you (shes so heavy) is incredible and quiet heavy for 1969. The melody at the end is great as well
Kannte ich davor schon wunderbar! + Oh Darling + Here comes the sun
Nice to hear the Beatles again. In this album there are some of the real Goldie's of them, but also some nice ones I didn't know up until so far. Not all of them I liked of course. But the overall experience was pleasant
A pretty enjoyable album in my eyes
respect voor zijn tijdsgeest, zou het niet nog eens luisteren
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.
The fact that this album has a Wikipedia page for EACH song speaks to how insanely important and good it is. I don’t think I need to wax poetic about it. One of the best albums with some of the best individual songs of all time. In short: it slaps.
Very diverse. Early use of synths?
I mean what has to be said. total bop. 90%
The best
solid golden oldies baby
un clásico de los beatles
Er....it’s Abbey Road...
4/5 Favourite songs were oh darling and I want you (she's so heavy).
Classic record, one of my favorite, if not favorite Beatles album. Something and Come Together, I want you, Here Comes The Sun are bonafide classics. Side B, while I don't really love any of the big long song individually, as a whole it's super cohesive and fun, they flow very well. Really nail what they were trying to channel on Sgt. Pepper
Beautiful
One of my fave albums.
altough ill probably never become a beatle fan, it cannot be denied the album is quite diverse and musically interesting for a pop album.
Classic
- 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
Bla bla
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....
3.5
Historisk, fængende, fortællende, forrygende
This is, no hyperbole, the greatest album of all time. It's the last one the Beatles made all together, and they almost tore each other apart doing so. There are tracks where Lennon doesn't appear, tracks where McCartney doesn't feature as prominently as he would have previously, and tracks where you can almost feel the frustration. In spite of it all, what they put together was incredible and, as always, greater than the sum of its parts. Here Comes the Sun is George Harrison's best work. I Want You (She's So Heavy) is a typical complex contribution from John. Paul took "some crap John wrote in India" and weaved it together with some of his own material to make the masterpiece that is the Abbey Road medley. Ringo...well, Octopus's Garden is pretty good, as far as Ringo's stuff goes. He did finally get a solo, which is nice. The album is so packed that I haven't even mentioned several other greats: Come Together, Something, and Because are all-timers. Best track: the medley
The best
Well-rounded early rock and roll album
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
Hot take: this is a tad bit overrated. Much prefer Revolver, Sgt Peppers and Rubber Soul.
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
This album isn't bad, I'd even say it's pretty damn good, but it hasn't transcended time and space like the music critics would like you to think. The songs are pretty varied, but it's really easy to tell where it was a Paul song, or George song etc - the entire flavour of the album changes from song to song, which isn't a plus imo. Also, the "standard"-sounding songs kinda ruin the effect of the more experimental stuff by proxy. I can see why Lennon complained about McCartney's "granny" music haha. But it's hard to hate songs like octopuses garden - it is honestly good songwriting. 4/5.
The best Beatles album!
