Great album! I So many classics and bangers. It’s a nice mix of sad, joyous, energetic and melancholy songs. It’s a timeless piece of music.
Can't really add anything to this.
Ik kende bitter weinig liedjes van hun bekendste album. Aangenaam om te luisteren, veel afwisseling
Vind ik echt super, zo aangenaam, rustgevend en toch afwisselend
Some of my favorite Beatles songs are on here! Love how George got to show off some of his best songwriting on here, and I love the contrast between John and Paul's sounds on here. Also the second half "suite" is such a fun, creative idea. Obviously don't have much to add to all of the praise this album has gotten for decades, but what a great record! Favorites: Come Together, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Octopus's Garden, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Here Comes The Sun, Because, Mean Mr Mustard, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight
Not too shabby!
My parents used to sing the end medley (or just Golden Slumbers and Carry That Weight if they didn't have the energy) as a lullaby when I was small so this was always gonna be a five star album. The first best band's final album and they knocked it out of the park.
Kinda unfair to start with this one. Every single song is an absolute banger in its own right
Slow and soothing
Outstanding as I remember it was when I first heard it. The Beatles had to grow on me when they became a big hit. I preferred the Stones and other lesser know British groups but each album got better as they progressed. Will always be on my listen to again list.
Masterpiece. Nostalgia notwithstanding, this may be the best album I’ve ever heard. Number one out of 1000+. It starts with the smoothest, creativest rhythm section (bass+drums) combo and goes top notch until the final bow where everyone gets a solo to say goodbye, before one more itty bitty curtain call because that’s Fab.
uno de los mejores álbumes que existe. 10/10.
Good, not yet finished but good.
nuna lo habia escuhado. poser moment
Man I don't even like the Beatles and I know this is a 5
For a brief second was a tad disappointed to generate this one. In an ideal world I would’ve loved this to be the finale to the project but I got over it pretty quickly. I love this album. There’s so many classic tracks on here. One of the absolute greatest albums of all time. Top Track - Either Octopus’s Garden or Something. Or Here Comes The Sun….. or Come Together. Too hard to pick just one lol
- Its the beatle's abbey road its gonna be a 5
one of the top 5 greatest albums oat.
Perfect album
I think this is justbplain wonderful. It's daring and classic and contemporary and weird and quintessential Beatles
Top 5 album of all time. No debate.
Perfect album front to back.
interesting first album because i started listening to this album like a few weeks ago. i haven't finished it but in the 1st few tracks, i immediately understand why the album is celebrated this much. the tracks still feel fresh and unexpectedly catchy!
One of the albums that come up and I know it's a 5 without needing to listen to it. Remember shuffling through my dad's modest vinyl collection and finding this. Blew my mind as a 14 year old. A great album.
The older I get, the more skeptical I become. Most things don't impress me anymore... but this? If anything, it amazes me even more than it used to.
Abbey Road. Enough Said. it's remarkable that they put together what is probably their best album while they were all being assholes and moving apart!
Great album
While listening to this, I fell asleep idk for how long. Then i woke up and it was still playing on repeat so i listened to it again. 10/10 experience. Don’t have a fav track they’re all good
I'm annoyed because I've always considered myself proudly not a Beatles fan. Turns out I just hadn't listened to this record before. It absolutely slaps. Some incredible music in here that's so dirty yet polished.
It’s The Beatles Abbey Road.
All classics, mostly bangers
One of my favorite albums of all time. Flawless.
Facilement un de mes albums préférés She's so heavy l'emporte dans les banger rock Maxwell silver hammer dans la chanson un peu drôle de Paul Here come the sun et something pour le meilleur "attend Georges c'est toi qui a écrit ça?" (Chansons les plus écoutés sur Spotify quand même) Le trio "Golden Slumbers" est formidable (surtout le live avec Clapton et Knopfler) Octopus garden est magnifique Globalement c'est l'un des album qui contient à mes yeux leurs chansons les plus rock et les plus belles Avec cet effet de mettre un peu les même mélodie dans d'autres chansons donne à l'album ce côté demo live où on savait pas ce qui était mieux entre la solution A et B donc on garde les 2. Enfin Come Together 1ere chanson jouée dans un groupe pour moi, donc souvenir ému Enfin bref vous vous doutez de la note que je vais mettre :
L'humanité atteint son apogée en 1969. En allant sur la Lune ? Non, en créant Abbey Road. Playlist pick : I Want You (She's So Heavy)
It’s abbey road
Pohn, Jaul, Reorge and Gringo
9.5/10 - It’s one of the most iconic albums by one of the most iconic bands for a good reason. Don’t overthink it.
There's nothing that I can say that hasn't already been said about this album. The medley on the back half is incredible, George Harrison is at his peak, there's not a miss on here. 10/10
It’s Abbey Fucking Road
It's the Beatles
A whole bunch of classics
Y es de lo mejor
Classic
I mean it’s the Brootles…
I liked this one.
absolute classic! love love love
So many great songs. It's difficult to put less than 5 stars on this album. Favorite Songs: Come Together ; I Want You ; Here Comes the Sun
As a lifelong Beatles fan I have often been asked my favorite album and song from the band. Though the answer to both of these questions may vary from time to time, most often I'll say my favorite Beatles album is Abbey Road. And for favorite Beatles song it's usually Oh Darling! from Abbey Road. Actually... let me take it a step further and say that Abbey Road is a top five album for me. Although not the last album to be released by the Beatles, it was the last one recorded by the band, and it's clear that they recognized that this would be their swan song. This album has some fine Lennon/McCartney songs but also finds George Harrison at his creative peak with the band. His Here Comes the Sun is the Beatles most streamed song, and Something (inspired by Patti Boyd) is one of the greatest ever love songs famously (and erroneously) called the best Lennon/McCarney song by Frank Sinatra. Even Ringo's catchy Octopus's Garden is by far his strongest contribution to the Beatles catalog. There are so many great musical moments on this album, I'll just share a few of my favorites. Come Together starts off with that fantastic riff. The guitar and keyboard intertwine in a wonderful synergistic way. Oh Darling starts with a C augmented chord that just hangs in space before Paul's vocal comes in. A 12/8 rock beat drives the momentum forward with the walking bass line interplaying with the piano chords. The backing vocals with ooos and aaahs that are barely there provide a gentle sonic tapestry for the melody to smoothly glide over... Paul McCartney's soaring tenor that took him multiple takes over several days to nail proves to be well worth his patience and effort. This song is perfection -- John Lennon joked in subsequent years that he never forgave Paul not letting him sing the lead on that song. Another favorite element of this album is the use of George Harrison's Moog synthesizer... which was one of the first uses of the instrument in pop music. It helps create the rich beautiful texture in Here Comes the Sun, and also features heavily in Because, a song that also has some of the most luscious vocal harmonies that the Beatles ever put to tape. But perhaps the greatest feat of this album is the famous medley on side two. This begins with You Never Give Me Your Money and culminates with The End, weaving a total of eight songs together in often creative ways. The first song You Never Give Me Your Money is a mini multi movement suite in itself. Just before the two minute mark it has one of the best transitions starting with vocal ahhs moving into a guitar riff that sequences upward multiple times into a new section by the 2.30 mark. It's one of the greatest moments on the album. Sun King kicks off with a dreamy vocal guitar mix that is just gorgeous. John sings a line that I had thought for years was in Portuguese, but is actually just nonsense words that he improvised. Later She Came in Through The Bathroom Window features some of the finest give and take guitar and vocal melody lines that the Beatles ever did. Golden Slumbers takes on a gentle tone building up to a climax in Carry that Weight that leads to a majestic return of the You Never Give Me Your Money theme. The End beautifully completes the medley with Ringo's only drum solo in the Beatles catalog and each of the other members trading guitar solos. And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make... such a poetic end for the greatest band of the 60s. Her Majesty which had been cut from the medley was accidentally included by an engineer after The End; it's title not appearing on the album sleeve making it the first hidden album track. I would challenge anyone who says that the Beatles are overrated to listen to the Abbey Road medley with an open mind. It is a great representation of how in just a few years the Beatles transformed pop music into a respected artistic genre.
The Beatles last-recording together, Abbey Road is the ultimate swansong from the most famous band of all time, even if it didn’t end up being their final release. This most recent listen has left me with as great an appreciation as ever for this record, which I’ve only heard a handful of times up to this point. It’s such a positive effort from such a negative time for the group as they were falling apart, making it all that more impressive to me how they managed to make it as cohesive as it is. Though I don’t have the special connection to this album yet that so many do, it simply offers me many of my favorite Beatles tracks and some of my favorite musical moments ever. I need to spend more time with the fascinating, dizzying second half medley, but I find it enjoyable throughout. The transition from Golden Slumbers to Carry That Weight is one these favorite musical moments. The first half offers the majority of the rest, from Paul’s vocals on Oh! Darling to the second half of I Want You and it’s juxtaposition with Here Comes The Sun at the pivotal core of the project to George’s instrumental break between his verses on Something. Abbey Road is up there with the most joyful of listening experiences and is probably my favorite Beatles record for now. 1 re-listen Favorite Tracks: I Want You (She’s So Heavy), Oh! Darling, Here Comes The Sun, Something, Come Together, Carry That Weight, Golden Slumbers, Octopus’s Garden, The End, Maxwell’s Silver Hammer
I have never listened to this in full prior to today. After two straight listens I've seen the light. First time with three straight 5 star records... What will the generator cook up next?
What a pallet cleanser from yesterday's album! (Pet Sounds). My favorite Beatles album (easily). And Side B (Come Together to Her Majesty) is 20+ minutes of probably the best continuous Rock ever recorded. And THAT's and album cover.
Oh! Darling is my favorite Beatles song. Paul’s vocals are *chef's kiss*. And that stretch from Golden Slumbers - Carry That Weight - The End is mind blowing every time. Deservedly the highest rated album on this whole list.
Snáď môj najobľúbenejší album od nich.
CLASSIC
Yesterday was Moby Grape's 1967 debut album, and today we get ANOTHER obscure 60s psych rock album? Ugh. /s
An elegant send off for the greatest of all rock bands.
I get this a day after Songs in the Key of Life? On a day off of work? Yeah, I'm enjoying music right now. Especially since I do have a vintage 60's vinyl of this from my grandad who introduced me to the Beatles, and putting that under the needle on this warm summer day is exactly how I experienced listening to this album for today's purpose. No words for the album itself. It's definitive canonical listening if you're a living breathing person on this planet.
What can I say about Abbey Road that hasn’t already been said before? It’s just one of those albums that is universally considered to be one of the greats, and for good reason. I didn’t know how I was going to enjoy it having heard a lot of the songs on the radio before, but the whole thing as an album holds up very well. Every element of production, from the vocals to the instrumentation works very well. Every member of the band gets their time to shine on the album as well, from Paul’s groovy bass on Come Together, to Ringo’s drum solo on The End. Every song on Side A works well as its own standout piece, and then to be able to translate that to Side B, where all of the songs work together, is really impressive. It’s difficult to pick standout tracks because the whole album is an experience in and of itself, but my favorites are probably Something, I Want You(She’s So Heavy), and Here Comes The Sun, but the whole album is an incredible listening experience, and even if you have heard a lot of the songs, take a listen, you will not be disappointed, now I’m gonna take this crosswalk to the next album.
Peak.
One of their best albums, which means one of the best ever and their true swan song. There are so many incredible tracks on here, it's just overloaded with goodness. A perfect album.
The a cappella version of 'Because' started playing in my head when I refreshed the page because FINALLY. I am nearly 150 albums deep into this challenge and other than one John Lennon solo album (which I deeply love too) I have been deprived. Instant five stars, I don't actually need to listen to this (yet again) to know that, but I'm still going to because I LOVE THE BEATLES. I am going to be so insufferable when I finally get to The White Album, Sergeant Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, Revolver, and Rubber Soul.
I don't know what I could write that hasn't already been written about The Beatles and Abbey Road. It's great. Never listen to it on shuffle or the medley goes way out to whack. One of the greatest albums ever.
WARNING - Octopus's Garden translates to Octopus's Yard in North American english. Does that make the song more palatable for you? I liked it well enough already.
My favourite Beatles album. Easy 5. I appreciate the creativity, playfulness and variety of styles / melodies. “Here comes the sun” will always be be my fav.
i want you is sooo underrated
Perfection
The Beatles in a certain late pure form
One of the greatest of all times! Never gets old.
One of the all time greats.
I love you Abbey Road <3
Masterpiece
Of course, this is just a classic and an album that will forever stand as a blueprint for rock/pop-rock music writing and composition. I was never a huge Beatles fan, but as I grew older, I grew to understand, and I now appreciate listening to them, whenever I do, even if it isn't that often a part of my regular rotation.
C’était cool de réécouter ce classique en entier. Ça m’a fait redécouvrir des transitions et certains sons / interludes.
How do you even rate something like this? It defies rating. Admittedly I grew up listening to this, and it has accompanied me through so many different parts of my life that I can't fathom not having it there.
Evergreen
Amazing!! Brings back many memories
Flawless. Every song is wonderful and the second side may be my favorite stretch of music ever produced. This is the jumping off point for the next 50 years of pop music. A fitting end for one of the most influential bands of all time. Even the goofier tunes like Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, a personal favorite, and the obligatory Ringo-sung Octopus’s Garden are right at home here. Simply flawless.
If you don’t give this album a 5 you’re just a bad person.
Actually just love this album, even the songs I don't know so well are just beautiful
Classic. It might only deserve four stars, but I'm giving it five anyway. Love it.
Standout tracks: Something, Come Together, Golden Slumber, The End
I really love this album, and I believe the whole B side is just so perfect and blends together so well. I never have and never will like Maxwell’s Silver Hammer - that song just enrages me. I wish I could give it a 4.5 but I guess I’ll round up to a 5 simply for the love of George Harrison. It’s a pretty iconic album no doubt about that.
vinyl day! perfect album. b side is from god
Growing up, everyone talked about Sgt. Pepper as the ultimate album. Seems like the consensus has shifted that this is the true masterpiece and I agree. I even love Octopus Garden and Maxwells Silver Hammer.
Never listened to this all the way through before but was familiar with most of the songs.
De los mejores de la historia sin duda. Hasta con problemas en la banda eran capaces de crear y revolucionar con su musica. Los mas grandes de todos los tiempos con una ultima obra maestra, simplemente perfecto.
A masterpiece.
Nearly gave it one star as a joke. Obviously 5 stars. Whats amazing to me is this the final album they recorded together. With all the tense “I’m leaving the band” moments and on their way to breaking up. Yet I think this is there most cohesive sounding album. The magic trick for me is always “the suite” which ties the majority of the second side into one medley bringing back elements.
Aka ‘The Best of The Beatles’
Abbey Road by The Beatles is no surprise an amazing album with most if not all songs being great. Top three: Come Together, Here Comes the Sun, Golden Slumbers
All I have to say is DUH! lol.
Side two is my favorite side of any Beatles album. The back-and-forth between John and Paul is almost like a rap battle. So incredibly inventive. I'm not too crazy about I Want You and Maxwell Silver Hammer but that's a small price to pay.
Classic album.
Quite apart from the music,it’s the story telling that does it for me. Polythene Pam and Mean Mr Mustard are great stories.
"Shows the versatility and breadth of The Beatles' music. At this late stage of their career, it's an exemplary demonstration of their immense talent and innovation. Includes such memorable tracks as Something (the only Beatles song sung by Frank Sinatra) and Here Comes The Sun. It also includes an astonishing medley of half finished tracks which blend together brilliantly, finishing with the line the love you take is equal to the love you make, the epitome of the 60s vibe"
Absolutely fabulous
The range of styles, from swamp blues through McCartney's trademark vaudeville to near perfect pop, is breathtaking. And taken as a whole is there a better second side in the history of pop music? Even Ringo had a (relatively) good outing. A fitting final testament to a remarkable band. 5*.
Call it cliche, this is the gold standard for albums in my mind. So much variety in terms of song vibes, but constructed such that it builds and falls perfectly. All the little 'moments' line up just right - the intense, thunderstorm-esque back half of she's so heavy cutting abruptly to here comes the sun, the crickets carrying over from your money to sun king, the little reprises and drum solo in carry that weight, her majesty, etc. - to make the whole thing feel cohesive without relying on a lyrical or genre-based theme. And on top of all that, the whole thing is wrapped in so much nostalgia having been raised on this album, as I'm sure many others share. 5.5 rounded down, and bias acknowledged, nothing is topping this.
The swan song of the GOAT rock band....they really went all out to go out with a bang. And its fittingly epic. What more can ya say?
An album of classics. Even if you don't know the album, you know the songs. They permeate pop culture so thoroughly that it is impossible to avoid them. Undoubtedly deserving of its place in music history.
Weirdly never used to like Abbey Road that much, can't believe how wrong I was
I mean, almost flawless. An iconic piece of work with and iconic cover to boot. Its so hard to pick the standouts because there really aren't any weak tracks. But I guess if I had to pick a top 3 it would be Something, You Never Give Me Your Money, and She Came In Through the Bathroom Window. And I can't believe I left Oh! Darling off that list.
Songwriters could toil for decades and never create something as succinct, powerful and moving as 'Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight', a two minute mini-masterpiece tucked towards the end of this leviathan of songwriting, performance and musical genius. If may sound like the understatement of the century but The Beatles were the real deal. Any attempt to pass them off as overhyped collapsing it the face of an achievement such as Abbey Road, which is probably their masterpiece, especially when you consider the duress the band's relationship was under during it's creation. Of course it's 5 stars.
Phenomenal album. Everything's either super cool, or loaded with emotion, or just iconic. There's so much to this album. I actually got hyped from the transition from Golden Slumbers to Carry That Weight. Here Comes The Sun was my fav song of the album. Come Together and I Want You (She's So Heavy) were my other highlights. Oh! Darling was my fav first listen
After wearing this album out as a young teen, I hadn’t listened to it straight through in decades. Happy to learn that it still holds up. The Beatles at their groundbreaking best. The second side is a classic combo of songs they couldn’t complete, but still utilized in brilliant fashion. The album reminded me of all the supposed clues to the “Paul is dead” hoax.
My favourite Beatles album, particularly for the medley on side two. It has actually grown more on me as years go by. The proto metal of I want You is huge. The mad variety of content is great, musically, lyrically, subject matter. It’s ridiculously clear how massively influential they were and still are
It's Abbey Road, isn't it, so 5 stars immediately. Whether you think it's their greatest work or not will depend a bit on how you respond to Maxwell and his Hammer and that funny Octopus. But in other places (the whole of the second half) they ascend to a level of pop perfection that few, if any, have ever reached. An awe inspiring piece of work.
my first music love! i discovered the beatles in secondary school. with my friend, we were obsessed with them, talking about them everyday, exchanging photos, newly discovered songs etc. our group of friends after some time made a bet that we cant make 2 days without talking about the beatles. it was so cringe and hard, but we won the bet and we discovered another topics to talk about, and thats how our bond became stronger <3 <3
Great album
Well, obviously.
This is great, need to check out more of these guys' stuff.
Nothing more needs to be said about the Beatles or this album.
the album of all time come on
Well, here it is folks. Come together, a perfect opener to an incredible album. Leading directly into Something which has lovely smooth guitar and instrumentation that accompanies it perfectly. I’d never heard Maxwells Silver Hammer before. It made me laugh out loud. Pure Beatles chaos. Oh Darling is super sweet and what’s not to like about Octopuses Garden. I want you is alright, but Here Comes the Sun is one of my favourite Beatles songs. Because is a bit of a trip, but I enjoyed it all the same. You never give me money brought me out of it a bit. It was a good track, but it just had different vibes from the album before it! Sun king was a gorgeous track. I really liked it. Mean Mr Mustard was great. No notes. Polythene Pam had some super fun musicality to it. Golden slumbers is obviously gorgeous and perfect. The last three tracks close out the album nicely! 5/5 ⭐️, but what else would I give it? 147/1089
One of the Beatles’ best albums. Love seeing George finally come into his own on this record
A masterpiece, but it goes downhill in the second half of the album. Still a masterpiece.
Iconic final album by the Beatles. Fantastic production value for the 60's. Filled with timeless hits ("Come Together", "Something", "Octopus's Garden", "Here Comes The Sun") but even the 'filler' and B-side is great down to the closing hidden track "Her Majesty".
Предисловие: я хуй знает как оценивать альбомы Битлов, потому что в их дискографии как будто нет промахов. Ставить всем 5 не хочется, а низкие оценки - издевательство. Нужно вообще что-то гвворить про этот альбом?
PEAK PEAK PEAK
Yeah I'm sorry I think this album kinda rules
One of the greatest albums ever made. The second side is just genius. Would rate it higher if I could.
A masterpiece and a personal favorite. Side B forever
Easily 5 stars. Especially the other side with the “Abbey Road Medley.”
This album is better than Sgt. Pepper's and the "White" album.
This classic album - with sone all-time great songs - can only get 5 stars, even allowing for one or two clunkers such as Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.
What can I say, it’s the Beatles man, the fucken beetles.
Memorized, front to back.
I could just use this review to just say how brilliant this album is, but maybe instead some random thoughts I've had about it over the years. --George demonstrates just how much he has bottled up. The two best songs on the album, and two of the best songs in the whole Beatles catalog, are his. --The medley at the end sort of feels like the band trying to get out, and cram in, every last great idea they could. --At times, they give us glimpse of just how amazing they are as musicians. Amazing guitar solos, fantastic bass lines, etc. --I've often felt you can hear in the album a ton of musical ideas that the great artists of the 70's would take and spin into whole genres. They were almost showing us how to take 60's music (folks, psychedelia, rock and roll) and do something new with it. I hear the great Pink Floyd albums. I hear heavy metal and hard rock.
It’s 1969. You’re wandering around your local record shop and you see an album with 4 men crossing the street on the cover. You think you recognize them, so you grab it and look at the back. Your suspicions are confirmed, it’s The Beatles. Like any young person with their head screwed on right, you quite like the Beatles. However, you notice something is odd about the track listing. There are a whole 10 songs on side 2 and some of them have rather silly names. “Mean Mr. Mustard”? “Polythene Pam”? You decide to buy it and take it home to listen to. It opens with a catchy little bass riff. It’s got this sound that lures you in. The next track’s a sweet love song that leaves you feeling warm. The next song makes you bust out laughing. The fourth song awakens something raw and primal. Next one gets you daydreaming with a big smile. Side 1 closes on a song that hypnotizes and dazzles you with a sound you can only call…heavy. It suddenly cuts off at the end. “That’s it?!” You turn over the record, eager for more, and are greeted with a warm acoustic guitar. It’s a lovely song that builds up to a very hopeful sound. The next track is mesmerizing, it awes you with its beauty. The track after takes a good few sharp turns and ends with a fade-out while nature sounds and chimes play, and the next song starts. An interesting little transition, you think, but don’t give too much more thought to. When this song ends, the next one kicks in pretty close after the fade-out. That’s odd. Then, this one ends without any pause before the next one starts. Eventually, after the guitar solo on this track, it sounds like a new song, but there was no audible end or cut. You check the song list on the back cover, it’s playing a different song. The song ends, and you hear silence before the next one starts. “That part’s done now,” you think. That was one heck of a ride! You get carried away by the beauty of this new song, when suddenly, there’s a shift. A new triumphant sound. You look at the list again, it’s a new song. You think that means there’s another medley, but while you’re processing that, horns come in, and the melody they play is familiar. You realize that this isn’t a second medley, the first one never ended. It continues, you hear a drum solo, then what sounds like three guitars trading solos with each other. The music calms, and you hear this: “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” The album has finally concluded, and you lay back and soak it all in. Then you get the crap scared out of you by the opening chord of “Her Majesty”. 5/5
Listening session: may 22nd, while going for a walk Listened to before: listened to this album many times Thoughts: not my absolute favourite Beatles album but still so so good (the A side is goated), that’s why I can’t give this anything other than five stars Favourite tracks: Something, Here Comes The Sun & Because
10/10
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ett fantastiskt album. Andra halvan med medleyt är egentligen ganska kontstigt med korta, spretiga delar men det funkar och bland det bästa vad jag tycker från Beatles. Finns inte mycket att säga om det här albumet mer än att det är en 5a. Bäst är Come together, Something, I want you (She's so heavy), Here comes the sun ☀️ och medleyt.
Столь давние отношения с этим альбомом...
It's rare for an album that I've heard so many times to still make me feel. I get chills from the guitar tone, and well up at the production. I love singing along my own harmonies and pretending like I'm the 5th Beatle. ...Even though Maxwell's Silver Hammer is on this album, it still gets a 5.
590 songs in and this was the first Beetles album in our mix. I have never sat down and just listened to this album end to end. Hat tip to these fellas. They had it going on.
Incredibly classic. Their later albums have a lot of fun experimentation and evolution going on
Classic. Songs I’ve been listening to forever. And will probably keep listening to forever.
Unfortunately I liked this album too much to give it anything less than a 5 :(
Perfect album, no notes.
While it's my third favorite Beatles album after Revolver and then Rubber Soul, it was my first Beatles album I had on CD. Of a cool high school student listening to the second half over and over, this brought me back nicely to that.
What can you say, it's the Beatles.
One of my absolute favorite Beatles albums. Here Comes The Sun makes me tear up every time.
The most important rock album on history.
I'm going to give it a 5 despite some real clunkers. 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' is really terrible. Worse than I remember. But I think it has more to do with the Moog, so I think it's George Harrison's fault more. 'Because' kinda stinks too for the same reason. Those 2 are the most egregious. Setting them aside, I do really enjoy it. I really enjoy the way the last 1/3 flows together into one big song
Nothing more to say than this is a masterpiece !
Hard to pick a favorite Beatles album but this is in the running
There is a reason this album is so highly rated!
Masterpiece.
Come together - 5/5 Something - 5/5 Maxwells silver hammer - 4/5 Oh darling - 5/5 Octopus's garden - 5/5 I want you - 5/5 Here comes the sun - 5/5 Because - 4/5 You never give me your money - 5/5 Sun king - 3/5 Mean Mr mustard - 4/5 Polythene Pam - 4/5 She came through the bathroom window - 4/5 Golden slumbers - 5/5 Carry that weight - 5/5 The end - 5/5
The Beatles changed my life
Two Beatles albums in a row what a treat
Perfection across this album. I'll take this over White Album every day.
My favorite Beatles album of all time. Crazy that I got two in a row and three in the last couple of weeks.
Tämä kans edestakasin kahlattu levy, sekä kuuntelemalla että soittamalla kitarasankaripelissä. On se edelleen loistava.
Have heard of the Beatles Had not heard Abby road in full Have heard the main singles Loved it. You can tell there was a lot of differing ideas, and in most cases they work. A couple of downsides for me Maxwells silver hammer and octopus garden could have been left off, but even those two songs have great musicianship, production and fun quirks.
Faultless.
What to say about this record? All is too little. Just superb
What more could you possibly expect me to contribute to this review that hasn’t already been said about Abbey Road by the Beatles?? Screw it, I’ll try to add something unique. I went to the actual location where the cover was taken a little over 2 weeks ago, and if you pay for it, they have a tour guide take your picture, just for walking across a small part of a road. Imagine needing to pay for that. Couldn’t be me. I was perfectly fine just taking a selfie myself. It wasn’t even like, tremendously crowded or anything, which was a concern of mine. If I was with someone, it would have been easy enough for them to have gotten a better angle as well. The only other Beatles album I’ve rolled so far for this project besides a single solo album for all 4 of the Beatles separately was Revolver, which is another easy 5. Another reviewer mentioned that every single song on this album has a separate page on Wikipedia, and I think that’s more than enough proof that this might very well make a strong case for being the most popular album of all time. Curiosity got the better of me and I had to confirm that the number 1 rated album on the site was the same way. Rumours, which constantly fights with Abbey Road for the number 1 spot on the site, also coincidentally has a Wikipedia page for every individual song. Just goes to show that both albums are goated with absolutely no skips on either. I’ve still yet to roll anything in the bottom 20, but just under 300 albums in, I’ve rolled the top 2 now. Something I didn’t expect when listening to this album, and something I really don’t want to admit, was that I pretty much hadn’t heard any of these songs previously. That genuinely shocked me. I’m far from a random octogenarian who wouldn’t have been able to avoid this album when it released, but I also actively listen to a lot of music, and now I’m questioning if I’m actually a connoisseur for having never heard Abbey Road before. If anything, it made the album more enjoyable to hear for the first time from top to bottom. There’s a little bit of everything here, but my favorite song on the album is a bit of an oddball choice. I’m going to give it to “I Want You (She's So Heavy)”. It’s so different even for the Beatles that, even on this album, I believe it stands out a lot. I’d get excited every time it started up again, which really sealed the deal for me. Anyway, I could talk for hours about how much I enjoyed this album. I didn’t even expect to make the review this long, but Abbey Road deserves it, even if all of this has been said about it before. I’m not going to be weird here, it’s perfect. It’s really, really good. But you knew that already.
This album is what helped me “get” the Beatles as a teenager so I’ll always hold a special place for it in my heart. It’s not my favorite record of theirs but on the whole it might be their best. It’s the last they recorded together and therefore reflects the skills they built together but also their varied songwriting approaches.
Best album lolol. No doubt.
Masterpeace y quizá el mejor de los Beatles
Easy 5
Wauw, vildt.
One of the most creative albums of all time, not much else needs to be said
Surely, this much be the Beatles magnum opus, to which all other work of theirs is compared. Nearly each song is a perfect little capsule of what can best be described as "late-60s whimsy". It does run a little bit long. But when each song is as fun as this, you tend not to care.
Strong start, really showcase the ability to write hit songs. Couple of slower spots in the middle. Almost a perfect album.
You already know. It's their best.
Late period Beatles where they all thought they were sophisticated world-weary rock gods. Wary of each other after a long career and various evolutions of their sound, it's easy to tell who wrote which song - Lennon was sarcastic, arrogant, and flippant, McCartney confident and fluffy but weary, and Harrison earnest and bright. The only potential skipper here is Lennon's "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" - it's a long trip through a variety of styles with repeating lyrics. Come Together, "Here Comes the Sun", and "Something" are the standouts here.
Appreciated the Beatles before listening to this but now have a greater appreciation. Not a bad track and a lot of experimentation with the classic 60s sound. Very good.
THE MOST WONDERFUL BAND IN THE WORLD!!!!! Without them, nothing would have existed⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
me encanta
yea really good, idk about 5, I'd give 4.5.
I've always been a bit of a Beatles sceptic for reasons unknown to me, and they've been a band I've never properly listened to and used to say were 'overrated' Well, I feel stupid. Abbey Road is absolutely incredible in every sense of the word. A masterpiece. I can't believe how ignorant I've been my whole life. From start to finish, this album blew me away. Come Together is one hell of an album opener, Something is beautiful and Maxwells Silver Hammer quirky. However, Oh! Darling is incredible. Possibly the best song I've heard in the whole 190 albums I've had so far. The vocals are insane and gave me goosebumps. The second half of the album is so so good, the way it all blends into essentially one long song is very clever and very easy to listen to over and over. This album has really made me reconsider all my previous perceptions of bands. Abbey Road is simply flawless and The Beatles were a group of geniuses.
As good as any album ever recorded. It sounds SO much better than the White Album, and side 2 (not just the medley) is, without question, the best single side of rock music ever. full stop. Why can't we give it 10 stars? It's the only album to ever deserve it.
Iconic and great just falls off a tiny bit toward the end but still great tho
what is there to be said about this album. good one. apparently "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" was the straw that broke the camel's back and started the Beatles break up
One of the Best. Even has a Ringo solo.
I don’t quite know how to categorize Abbey Road. Calling it a concept album feels too narrow, labeling it experimental doesn’t fully capture its warmth, and simply calling it a rock album undersells its ambition. On paper, it resists definition, but in practice, it unfolds with absolute clarity, a fully realized musical vision that never second-guesses itself. The first half offers what we’d traditionally call songs. “Come Together” opens with that iconic, slinking groove. “Something” is a quintessential first dance song in weddings. Then there’s “Here Comes the Sun,” radiant and uplifting. These songs feel almost fated, as though they’ve always existed and the band simply uncovered them. But it’s the second half where Abbey Road transcends even those heights. What begins with “You Never Give Me Your Money”—their most remarkable composition in their catalog in my opinion—quickly evolves into something far more fluid and daring. The song itself is strange yet accessible. From there, the album dissolves into a medley that feels less like a collection of tracks and more like a continuous, living piece of music. Songs blur into one another, challenging the very idea of where one ends and another begins. It’s playful, inventive, and deeply collaborative. There’s a sense that they’re no longer bound by expectations, only by their shared instinct for what sounds right. And then, almost as an afterthought, comes “Her Majesty”—a brief, inexplicable 30-second fragment that somehow feels essential. It’s quirky, abrupt, and perfect as a closing gesture. This is it, ladies and gentlemen, the best album on this list bar none. Everything else pales in comparison.
Have already listened to and know it will be a five, but I'll take any excuse to listen to this at all. It's probably their best work objectively, but my heart will always belong to Rubber Soul
Excelente, um clássico.
yeah pretty good 👿👿👿
Not my favourite Beatles album, but still a 5. The best two songs are probably the two George songs, Come Together and Oh! Darling also great. It could have done without Maxwell's Silver Hammer
The record is a 5, and side 2 is a brilliant collage that is so much more than the sum of its parts, Come Together is apex John, and Harrison's songs shine. But as so often on a Beatles record, there are the inevitable two or so songs that demand skipping: Maxwell and Octopus, I am talking to you. Otherwise, genius. Amazing hilarious beautiful weird aching genius.
Is it my favorite Beatles album? Probably not. Is it still worthy of 5 stars? Absolutely. It stuns today as it must have in 1969.
Oh! Darling alone is a 5
Golden slumbers ->carry that weight is the best ever
Hoef ik geen woorden aan vuil te maken denk ik
This albums quality and impact is undeniable. One of the few I’ve heard from this list so far that I genuinely think people should listen to before they die.
This just works from start to finish. 𝘈𝘣𝘣𝘦𝘺 𝘙𝘰𝘢𝘥 feels more focused than some of their earlier albums — less all over the place, more confident. Nothing feels forced. It’s just really well put together. 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 is an easy highlight. It’s simple, but it hits exactly the way it should. George Harrison really comes into his own here, and it stands comfortably next to anything else on the album. The B-side medley is what really pushes this into 5/5 territory. On paper it shouldn’t work — short pieces stitched together — but it flows surprisingly naturally. It keeps moving without feeling disjointed, and by the end it all comes together in a way that feels earned. The cover is as iconic as it gets. Just four people crossing a street, nothing elaborate or overdesigned, and somehow it became one of the most recognizable images ever. It fits the album perfectly — confident, understated, and instantly memorable. And that’s really the whole album. Nothing feels wasted, nothing drags. It’s not trying to prove anything — it just delivers.
Bro what can I say. It's the freaking Beatles. Not necessarily my favourite Beatles but still there's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. Fav Track: Octopus's Garden
Heard it before, obviously. The album and the album cover itself are just so iconic. And so many great songs here (and some silly ones, looking at you Maxwell). Impossible to give this album anything below 4 so I'm giving it a 5 5/5
Well of course it’s a 5 star record. After listening to almost their whole discography, I’m not exactly sure anymore, that this one is the absolute best one. You can sense the tension between the beatles on this one. Many of the lyrics can be interpreted in a hidden meaning, everyone hates everyone meaning, but this is really an incredible album to finish a run that will never ever be replicated.
Abbey Road is one of the greatest albums to ever exist. It has so many great songs and is one of the most popular Beatles albums, if not, the most popular. It combines Rock with contemporary and art rock and it all blends nicely together into this insanely iconic and good album.
Masterpiece.
A masterpiece
Perhaps the greatest B-side in rock. My favorite B-side at least with some close runners-up of course. The medley's being the best thing of this record. I do adore Because and Sun King, just beautiful singing and harmonies. Oh, and the album includes two of Harrison's best songs, some of the best in rock history.
#1
My hot take: I like Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. What else could I possibly add that hasn’t already been discussed in great detail. Great album.
My second favourite Beatles album. the transitions between the songs are so satisfying and the songs overall are all incredible.
top three beatles album imo. a great one to go out on.
If aliens invaded tomorrow and we had to give them one album to understand The Beatles, this is that album. This is what 9 years of cohesive songwriting looks like and may very well be the crown jewel of one of histories most important bands
A real gem! The Beatles prove once again that they came make back to back to back bangers
The Beatles - “Abbey Road” FIVE STARS After hearing this record literally my entire life, the most recent listen brought two firsts as I used headphones and streamed it. Both may have helped bring out some new qualities on my 726th listen to “Abbey Road.” I have always felt it is the most produced Beatles’ record. It sounds like a different era of recording compared to their last two records, let alone “Meet the Beatles.” At times it drifts into overproduction as the songs become too manufactured and depersonalized. However, the headphones also brought out their greatness as studio musicians and craftsmen. The more obvious ones like Ringo’s drumming on “Come Together” and “The End,” as well as how he keeps “Here Comes the Sun” from becoming too wimpy. As usual in my more recent Beatles’ listening, Paul stands out with slinky electric piano on “Come Together” and numerous songs with his bass counterpoints. The latter almost became too busy as I honed in on it. Lastly, I always had to flip the record after the abrupt end to “I Want You.” I enjoyed how “Here Comes the Sun” quickly appeared, well, kind of like its title. Hard to give it anything, but the highest rating when an album starts with “Come Together” and “Something.” The medley section has so many moments that stand out. One last “yeah, yeah, yeah” in “Polythene Pam.” John harkens back to a bit of psychedelia with “Because” and “Sun King.” The amazing segue from “Pam” to “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window”, with similar seemlessness between the final four songs of the medley. Nearly every song on the album could be a children’s song. Lessons abound about behavior, carrying burden and positivity. Mr. Mustard, Pam, Maxwell and all of “Octopus Garden” could come from Roald Dahl or Maurice Sendak. The child-like aspect can be both endearing and annoying, helping to make “Abbey Road” only my 6th-7th favorite Beatles album. The first side drops quite a bit after the opening two songs. Paring down both “Oh, Darling” and “She’s So Heavy” would help. For all the doom/stoner rock forerunner of “Heavy” it usually leaves me like many of Led Zeppelin’s 7-10 minutes blues numbers: let’s get this over with boys. It is an album made by the greatest band in the world when they had honed all of their skills to the highest professional level. Those skills make it a near perfect masterpiece.
I've recently decide this was my favorite Beatles album. The medley alone makes it worthy of it. This listen around I found it a bit less cohesive. Of course, this is in part due to The Beatles going their separate ways, and it's not messy in the same way White Album is. It definitely has the best parts of themselves coming together (pun not intended) and working together, as seen in the medley. However, the first half can feel a little jumbled at times. "Come Together" used to be viewed less favorably by me, but I think I've come around to it recently. Its overplayed status still stands for me, but John's voice is at his strongest here, and his psych lyricism started with "I Am the Walrus" is now sharpened here. It makes coherent sense, but still includes lines like "toe-jam football" (a personal favorite). I realized I've never read through the lyrics of "Come Together" and I'm shocked at how different it makes my view. I never realized he said "Ono sideboard." "Something" was Sinatra's favorite love song and it's definitely up there for me, however it's definitely their BEST love song. "Maxwell" has the same quirkiness as "Ob-La-Di" and I love both, but I think it once again is a case of sharpening what had been on previous albums. "Oh! Darling" once again used to be a skip, now, might be in my top 3 from this album. Paul's voice at his strongest. "Octopus's Garden" is Ringo at his best. I never skip this. It always gets me in a good mood. I don't care, I love it. "I Want You" Is this the best Beatles song? It has aged better than any fine wine. Definitely best Beatles side closer. "Here Comes the Sun" Overplayed status tends to be my reason for disliking a Beatles song, but maybe that excuse doesn't apply when the overplayed-ness is the reason I love this song. It's a smiling sun. The Teletubbies Sun Baby. The song's quality is tripled by the fact it comes after a sharp cut-off from the dark and grimy "I Want You" "Because" I will forever picture Alice Cooper doing a spoken word of this in the Sgt. Pepper movie. One of the few good performances. The scene captures why this song is so good. It takes the sereneness of "Here Comes the Sun" and mashes it with the darkness of "I Want You." It's creepy, but also beautiful. "Across the Universe" done in a basement. "You Never Give Me" I love the opening and ending of this song. The middle can be mixed for me. I jam along to it, but it does lean slightly musical theater and doesn't live up to why the beginning of the song is sooooooo good. The jumbled nature of this album can be witnessed in this song. It's good, but sometimes it's Frankensteinish. "Sun King" I have always felt this song is underrated. Feels like sunbathing, but on the roof of a house, in a plastic lounge chair. The garbled Spanish/Italian is a cherry on top. "Mean" & "Pam" I love when Beatles do characters and I like to imagine a more elaborate story where all these characters are connected. Movie Sgt. Pepper kind of tries to do this and perhaps that acid dream is what this would look like. "She Came" ALWAYS GOOD. No comment. Just let the music play. The transitions are at its peak here. "Golden Slumbers" This is my favorite song on the album. I will prefer other songs at different times but I always have to let this one play up to the climax. Paul is at his best of doing what Paul does. Strong voice, strong lyrics, and taking nostalgic tunes from his childhood and transforming them. "Carry" & "The End" Just let the music flow. Very symbolic that "The End" was unknowingly (or sort of knowingly) the end. "Her Majesty" I heard someone complain recently that this album didn't end with "The End" but somebody replied back that they liked this as the ending because it goes back to how The Beatles started as just boys messing around and making music. It's a similar reason I've warmed to Let It Be (album) with songs like "Maggie Mae" and "One After 909" as being this tribute to Liverpool and boys being boys. Gonna go board my flight now.
If an album could be described as perfect it's this one. You couldn't ask for a better final album as this one was for them even though released before "Let It Be." Such a perfect blending of their talents as songwriters and players with George Martin offering immaculate production. Harrison really shines on this one with "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun," two of their finest songs. And McCartney offers some of his best songs ever with the superb mini-suite of songs on side 2. Oh, and then there's perhaps Lennon's best song in "Come Together." What else is there to say? It's Abbey Road.
One of the albums I've heard most in my life, but never gets old. Listened to the super deluxe mix, which really is a good remastering. Maybe the most complete band effort, at the height of their creative abilities, even if they all pretty much hated each other at that point. Not my favorite Beatles album but I understand arguments that it's the best. Also has the finest collection of their deeper cuts, Oh Darling! into Octopus's Garden into I want You is an elite run.
Como todos los álbumes de los Beatles, es excelente.
One of the best albums of all time
Deep lyrics, delicate instrumentation, and strong structure. Legendary in so many ways
DAMN
jesjj
It’s a classic for a reason and really holds up for me! Just like, really really solid songwriting, the most solid of all, except octopus’ garden of course but then who could refuse ringo his lil sing song??
I am starting to 'get' the Beatles. Much of their music is timeless, and I could see it on the radio today.
Come back homeward…
One of the greatest 5/5
Masterpiece
I've loved this for a long time. But this project helped me to see what's so special about it. The creativity genuinely does stand out from other records of the era I've heard, and listening closely helped me to appreciate how good the production is.
Hard to argue otherwise
Мне очень понравился этот альбом. Многие треки добавил в плейлист, и этот альбом показал мне насколько хороша эта группа
Another excellent record from the Beatles, probably their finest. I can't say anything that has not been said already for this masterpiece.
Outstanding from start to finish.
One of the best!
Just a great album. The way she’s so heavy just ends is odd but I read online that the band thought it would be funny and then I read that it was also the last track of the A side of the album which makes more sense for the gag. Either way. A masterpiece.
I wasn’t gonna give this 5 cos i wanna reserve them but I just have to. It’s a masterpiece. way ahead of its time - so detailed, like every little note and sound has been thought through. Individual songs are great but the flow, one of the best flows in an album and this is 1969. We can talk all day about the abbey road medley, but what really stands for me is the placement of Here Comes The Sun, following the storm that is I Want You. This album is the blueprint for so many offshoots of rock all in one; prog, psychedelic, glam, indie, alternative, it’s timeless. If you think it’s edgy to dislike Beatles and this masterpiece then I feel sorry for you bro 9 / 10 Best track/s: You never give me your money, Oh darling, Here comes the sun, Abbey road medley
What needs to be said? Perfect album, one of the few on this list. 5/5
Back half is the one of the best runs of songs ever produced Favorite: octopus’s garden
This Maxwell guy sounds like pure evil.
What even needs to be said
Tengo DEMASIADO que decir. Un álbum espectacular, sin skips, perfecto de inicio a fin. Te amo Paul mccartney. I want you (she’s so heavy) es DELICIOSA. La estrella del álbum though es Something. Come together es una obra de arte sonora. Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight y The End encapsulan perfectamente un feeling hilado de todo lo que trata el álbum y también el contexto que vendría después en la separación de la banda. Oh Darling es hermosa. Todo perfecto 10000/10
Saved? ✅ Would listen again? ✅ Would recommend to anyone? ✅ Would buy on Vinyl? ✅
YESSSSSS
i already listened to this album for like a thousand times already with love
This album was amazing, every song on this record is so good and such an earworm
O que é a segunda parte desse álbum? Simplesmente uma das melhores coisas que já ouvi na minha vida. Sun King, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, The End... como se fosse um grande compilado genial de lados B de obras-primas que nunca foram completas. Hipnotizante, único, sem precedentes e inigualável até pra sua época. É o tipo de LP que se usa pra justificar porque os Beatles são OS BEATLES. Até quem não é muito fã, como eu, é obrigado a reconhecer. Menção honrosa aos vocais absurdos do Paul McCartney, nunca percebi a maturidade que ele alcançou em quatro anos. Poderoso, raivoso, quase um amante obcecado. Enquanto escrevo isso, ainda me sinto totalmente arrebatado por esse medley da segunda metade do disco.
Masterpiece, as all Beatles albums are.
My favorite by them
This is the ultimate record. The best Bestles album and therefore the best pop album.
Abbey Road was the first Beatles album I purchased. I was in college in the early 2000s and worked at Toys R Us and heard Octopus's Garden was on the music there. I was so intrigued that it was by the Beatles, and it had Come Together on it, so I was sold. Maybe a hot take, but Abbey Road is by far the best Beatles album.
joya, me encanta, es lo mejor del mundo, me cambio la vida y cambio historia, muy buena forma de terminar una carrera musical, los amo, me lo voy a tatuar
It's hard to listen to Come Together and not hear the DNB version...
There are not words that haven't already been said about this album for me to say.
I hear these 4 lads are going places!
What can I say about this? Not my favourite but a masterpiece 100%.
Packed full of classics. Easy 5*.
I mean common it's Abbey Road... what else can I say. I think this is one of the few perfect albums (yes, even Maxwells Silver Hammer and Octopus Garden). I really love the noisy section from I Want You (She's So Heavy), it may be my favorite moment in theor entire career. High 5!!!!!
el orden de las canciones y las transiciones entre los temas son perfectas top 3 discos de los beatles sin dudas
Not the biggest Beatles fan but it's undeniable how consistently top notch the songwriting is on this album.
I recently watched the 1978 Sargeant Pepper movie starring The Bee Gees, and Peter Frampton, and it made me wonder if I even like these songs. But then when I gave this a listen for today, my fears were assuaged, I do still love Abbey Road, but this experience has made me realize how much of The Beatles' success is in performing and arranging their compositions. This is kind of the one for me, as of now, it's the only Beatles album I will give a 5, but I didn't grow up with these songs or anything, so I honestly think I kind of got into Abbey Road by first just sort of marveling at the incredibly high detail in it's execution. Then I slowly learned to love the songs. And it's really the only Beatles album where the entire Beatles thing works for me. The ambition and the most beautiful moments here like on Something and Here Comes The Sun but up against goofy stuff like Maxwell and Octopus' Garden. And it's easy to scoff at these songs a little, but that attention to detail is so deeply ingrained on Abbey Road that even these songs just work. I just think this is the perfect Beatles album, it has the complexity, the driving rock, and the pop potency of the band's best prior to this point without the bloated of The White Album, or thr occasional eye roll that I have on Sgt. Pepper. And then they wrap it up with the side two medley, which may be my favorite thing the band has ever made. It's such an ambitious distillation of the band's greatest tendencies executed as a singular, complete piece. I like remaining Beatles skeptical, but I have to admit that Abbey Road is the one where they just get me and it all works. I think it's the most perfect statement of their career.
Loved it 🤩
Вау
Yes, it’s great
fuckin great album. Definitely something that everyone should listen at least once. some of these songs will be with you trough the years and years
So good! Every song has its own personality and it great for listening
Faaa los bitel🙏🏼
Arguably the greatest album by arguably the greatest band of all time.
I like this one more every time I hear it
I'm writing this review even before listening to it today because it's not necessary. I think it's a contender for the title of best album of all time, and it's one of my two favorites. I don't even know where to begin to describe how much I love this album. From its opening track, "Come Together," through two of Harrison's best songs, "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun," and the incredible medley in the second half... simply amazing. I'm so glad I got this album to review. Of course, I'll listen to it today, just for the sheer pleasure of it. The easiest five stars.
I like it when good soundwaves enter my ears and this is good soundwaves
Abbey Road might be a bit overrated still compared to other Beatles albums (I want you/she's so heavy is good but way too fucking long tho) but it's quite good through and through and has some of the most masterful song transitions
Has anyone heard of these guys before? I think they could be pretty big
easiest 5 to give.
the most agreeable beatles
Pelos de punta. Con este disco fue con el que realicé lo buenos que son los beatles. Cuando uno crece escuchando nombres muy famosos de épocas antiguas tiende a no prestarle atención; cuando finalmente decide hacerlo, le toca tragarse sus palabras y reconocer que, efectivamente, nadie podrá volver a hacer lo que ellos.
An album that really challenged my idea of music
Super album je suis mdr
mon class
What can I say about Abbey Road that hasn't already been said. The first time ever hearing the insane outro of I Want You (She's So Heavy) blew my mind. Absolute classic throughout.
Anyone who says the Beatles are overrated has clearly never listened to Abbey Road front-to-back. I think we have a collective sense of what the Beatles sounded like—some sort of Beatles-y pastiche plays in our heads (after all, has any other artist been covered/copied/imitated/parodied nearly as much?). But when you listen to Abbey Road, you go on a journey from one idea to the next to the next to the next in such a seamless, fun, catchy way that by the time you've come to The End, you can't help but marvel at what the Beatles created... only to be thrust out of your marveling to hear a cute little ditty about Queen Elizabeth, which ends just as abruptly. Look, I'm not saying Abbey Road is an underrated album. That would be ridiculous. It is rightfully considered (one of?) the greatest album(s) of all time by (one of?) the greatest band(s) of all time. What I am saying is that there is so much more to this record than I think the average person realizes, and anyone who walks away from it thinking the Beatles are a "mid" band is being contrarian.
Brother... its abby road. There is nothing much to say. Its one of the most iconic albums of all time. Its very justified. I like every single song. Most of them are all time classics. Im still more partial to the white album but im splitting hairs at this point. Both are peak. Its like comparing k2 to Everest. What's the big deal about a couple hundred meters?
I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said
this is the exact moment when the beatles officially invented music
One of the greatest albums ever made by, maybe, the greatest band of all time. My favorite Beatles album fluctuates all the time. It was the White Album for a long time. It was Abbey Road for a long time. Sometimes it's Rubber Soul. Every time I hear Revolver I love it more than the last time. The past few years have seen me going back to Let It Be more and more often. Anyway, "Octopus's Garden" is the first song I ever remember hearing in my entire life. This album is 5 stars here, but it would be 1,000 stars if that was an option. People giving this one a 4 star rating are wrong, but can be forgiven. Lower than that should be committed. Perfect album.
definitivamente, O álbum dos beatles. é engraçado como o clima tenso entre os brothers durante as gravações conseguiu extrair deles produções extremamente maduras e é doido pensar que os bichos não tinham nem 30 anos direito. o medley do lado B é uma coisa linda de se ver, i want you (she's so heavy) é a primeira musica de doom metal do mundo segundo euzinha. abbey road tu vai pra sempre ser famoso! "they got annoyed because 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' took three days to record. big deal." ditador mccartney eu estarei sempre com voce!!!!
I mean what can I say? Peak Beatles, undisputed.
Siempre escucho este álbum, me parece q reúne la mayoría de mejores canciones de la banda. Amo demasiado
Memorable album
Obviously i’ve listened to this before… wasn’t a beatles fan at 15 for nothing. One of the few albums I’ll consider as the “greatest of all time” shocking it’s over 50 years old.
Top tier album
Another of the major peaks - a top 10 of all time.
Increible, un clasico a primera escucha, experimental y revolucionario, iconico a mas no poder desde el sonido hasta la portada.
Excellent so many great classic Beatles songs
Sadly couldn’t listen on Spotify. Only copy was a very spotty you tube version
Geen verassing 5 sterren. Een meesterwerk van een album. Inderdaad er staan twee nummers op die minder goed zijn(maxwel en de octopus), maar zelfs die vind ik die nog steeds wel vermakelijk. Daartegenover staat het nummer something met de beste baspartij ooit gemaakt in een nummer. Because met de een van de mooiste harmonieën ooit. De rest van de nummers zijn allemaal ook echt ijzersterk. Een mooi laatste album van the beatles, een toegift van de beste band ooit.
Truly an album everyone should listen to. Uses new technology and the variety is incredible. Also two awesome songs by George Harrison.
Tremendo álbum no por nada es reconocido Es el segundo álbum completo que escucho de ellos
4,7/5 Sgt. Pepper auf die 1
Je ne m’attendais à rien mais maintenant je le dis haut et fort, cet album est à écouter une fois dans sa vie. Mention spéciale à I Want You qui est une chanson plus que fabuleuse
Album complet, en plus d'avoir des énormes hits il n'a pas pris une ride et arrive à alterner entre des balades, des chansons au bord du psyché' et des musiques naïves L'album est tellement côté qu'il en est sur-côté mais ça reste un album excellent
While I don't listen to this album (or the beatles in general) as mich as i used to, it's still a phenomenal album. I think this is the beatles' best work so the ranking must be updated accordingly 1. Abbey road 2. Revolver 3. White album
What else can be said it’s the perfect album. Is there a better opener than come together?
About as close to a perfect record as it gets
4.8 stars.
It's most likely a biased review because of the nostalgia involved (not to mention it's status as a legendary album from a legendary group), but Abbey Road informed who I am as a person and what my idea of music was and is. If this isn't deserving of a 5, nothing is.
Relisten Not going to turn any heads when I say this album is fantastic. I used to be the type of music listener who thought I was special for not singing their praises, but that mostly came from not giving them the time of day besides their big hits. They really shine in an album format, and this is the quintessential example of that. The disparate tones and sounds come together into a nice cohesive whole in the first half - you go from love ballads like Something to the darkly upbeat Maxwell's Silver Hammer, into perhaps their most soulful vocal performances in Oh! Darling, and then sure why not, a goofy song about living in the ocean, and then the hard loud I Want You. It somehow juggles those tones and genres really well, it has a nice flow. The second half is equally great Here Comes The Sun is overplayed but still a great, almost blindingly pleasant song. Then it ends with the Medley, combining a bunch of unfinished songs into a grand finish for the record. It flows beautifully from one track to another and features some of my favorite bits of songwriting and lyricism from the band, especially You Never Give Me Your Money, Sun King, You're Gonna Carry That Weight, and The End. Really hard to find a fault with this record for me, I think some of their more famous records are a bit overrated, but in this case I absolutely understand why it's so adored. Favorite Tracks: Oh! Darling, Octopus's Garden, Here Comes The Sun, the whole Medley Least favorite: None 5/5
now don't get me wrong a love a bit of contrarianism, as one surely might expect of me here, but no i'm pleased to say this was actually pretty great! totally holds up to the hype and makes me understand it more considering the state of their contemporaries. this whole album feels incredibly modern and clean with its production. start to finish, it's full of eclectic bangers even for something so heavily pop oriented. god the moog synthesizer across this too is soooo nice. i can't believe critics didn't like it at the time because they use it VERY well. whole thing sounds great. i think i'm also in an ideal place to appreciate this given that i'm taking time off at a friend's house full of very cool women, comfortably lounging in the guest bed, and enjoying the early morning sun. no better time to appreciate some music.
The beatles is often proclaimed as some kind of pinnacle of pop music. Their music is so highly rated that for it to NOT be overrated would require so much effort that it would almost be unbelie- okay that's enough pretending this album is not peak. Yeah this is basically as good as everyone says and knows it is. I used to not be huge into th3e beatles growing up, but I have always loved Come Together. The remarkable thing however is in the sheer consistency in quality here. What George Martin accomplishes here is incredible. The layered louder sections do so without losing any fidelity, the stripped back parts make every note and instrument feel like it has its place. You might expect that for a band at the zenith of pop they'd fall upon tropes or become so defined in the genre the music is mundane. Hell the beatles is often given as a prime example of a band that often sounds less special today due to how influential they were to music, but I can't disagree more. Abbey Road has such a suprising range. Maxwell's Silver Hammer does not sound like it came from the same album as Here comes the sun, which does not sound like it came from the album that gave us Come Together. Yet as an album listening experience, it just all works. Sorry, no hot takes here, this is great.
The GOAT
Masterpiece. Bloody masterpiece. It's bloody Abbey Road
10/10
I know plenty of these songs given the magnitude of the Beatles and to be fair they are bangers Oh! Darling which I hadn't heard before is my newly discovered highlight I cant fault it.
