Reviews (page 4 of 16)

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.

Meh, it has some OK songs, but I'd say not even the best of the Beatles work.

knocking off one point for maxwell's silver hammer. messy and good otherwise !11!

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.

A great album, obviously well known. Even for the Beatles this album is really great.

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

Absolutely wild mixture of sheer genius and utter trash. Maxwell's Silver Hammer is unforgivable, Here Comes The Sun is delightful, I Want You is perfect.

The first Beatles album I ever actually listened to of my own volition, despite being inundated by THE BEATLES ARE THE BEST EVER since childhood. Come Together is the GOAT opening track.

Awful boring pile of nonsense.

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

Very nostalgic to listen to this one again. Listened to this one quite a lot about ten years ago whilst gaming with my brother (Call of duty, Ghosts). I really like this album. It's not one I would listen to super often though, therefore the 4 stars.

It’s abbey road isn’t it. If it was a different bad album you could say ‘well it’s not abbey road is it’ but this one is abbey road isn’t it.

I mean it abbey road. Some of the guitar playing is a bit hum haw but like the ending is so fire that u can’t really complain about anything

Deep lyrics, delicate instrumentation, and strong structure. Legendary in so many ways

Look, I know the Beatles aren't my favourite band of all time but I am not made of stone. The countless docs I have now watched on them has given me more of a soft spot. But I gotta be honest, I thought this album would have the good tunes on it like Get Back etc... and it didn't!!!! It's fine! It's a fine album! If it wasn't The Beatles tm would we all go so crazy for it? Idk if we would??? Sue me??

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

Reviewing the Beatles is annoying—EVERYONE likes them for the most part. I was surprised that this is their top-rated album on the site, however. I've always loved this album, even if it's quite overplayed. Their final recording, the Beatles were hardly a "band" at this point, and those medleys, as wonderful as they are, were more George Martin's ideas and efforts to leave a mark than anything else (though the Beatles did enjoy writing them as well). However, it's a great collection of songs and more consistent than *The White Album* and *Let It Be*, but I don't enjoy it as much as those two (perhaps because I like the Beatles more when they show some flaws here and there). I personally love Lennon's weird and angry songs here. "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is a masterpiece of dynamics and experimental songwriting. I'm not a huge fan of Harrison's songs, while McCartney's often range from novelty silliness to genuinely great pop-rock songs (like "Oh! Darling"). And Ringo's song is fine, if a bit stupid and unnecessary. Gets 4.5 stars, like basically almost every album of theirs on this list.

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.

Uiteraard hele goede muziek maar ik heb nooit genoeg met de Beatles gehad om dit een 5 te geven

Hard to argue otherwise

Мне очень понравился этот альбом. Многие треки добавил в плейлист, и этот альбом показал мне насколько хороша эта группа

This has never been one of my go-to Beatles albums. It’s very good so I’m not sure why…I guess I always got scared off by Maxwell’s Silver Hammer early on. I think Paul is at his Paul-est here and sometimes that’s a bit shmaltzy for me, but the ending really is so good. That being said, I definitely lean towards George and John’s tracks as standouts, which feel compelling in their own right outside the greater context of the album (although they are also great in the context of the album, particularly those in the continuous second-half run). And in the end… I think it all works very well together and feels fully developed with peak-Beatles-ness qualities, even if some of their albums that are rougher around the edges have more songs I like. Fav tracks: Something; Come Together; I Want You (She’s So Heavy); Here Comes the Sun; Mean Mr Mustard

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.

Is it the best album ever? I don’t know. Is every song on the album good? Yeah I’m pretty sure. Also an iconic album cover.

One of the best!

Beatles innit.

no me gustan los beatles, pero este disco impactó brigidamente en la musica y en la cultura mediática. le doy 3 por eso noma, pero personalmente no logro percibir ni encontrar algo que me despierte genuino interés. es bueno, pero no pa mi

No es mi fav de los Beatles pero lo queremos 🫶

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

Excellent

Pretty good but I still don’t quite see why it’s such an iconic album. Just about gets four stars

My first full Beatles album! I'm quite hopeful, but let's see how this goes... I really like "Something", I've heard it before but never intentionally. I've heard "Here Comes The Sun" in movies and on the radio growing up, I absolutely love it! It's so bright and cheery and wonderful! "Oh! Darling", "Because", and "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight" are all really cool! I'd never heard them before! So, I didn't like this as much as I'd hoped? Maybe I hyped it up too much in my mind. It's still really good, I'm just not blown away like I was expecting to be. It might grow on me with time tho 4.25 (for now)

OBJECTIVE NON-HYPERBOLIC STATEMENT OF FACT: the Abbey Road medley is the greatest piece of recorded music in human history.

Not the best of their albums. Enthält octopus garden and oh darling. Something out of another world. A bit more slow but some songs are 11/10 A lot of choir. That album alone would propably too boring for me. But it contains bangers

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.

As a non-Beatles fan, one part of this project with which I have a love-hate relationship is exploring their discography. I believe this is the third album of theirs that I’ve listened to since I started, and I can say that this one is the best yet. There’s nothing I can add to the discourse, so I’ll just waste a few more words on this review. This album was by far the most polished. It sounds really modern, and I was interested to see that upon its initial release it was a bit controversial among some. These people found the sound to be artificial and too studio-like, due to the band using modern techniques at the time such as synthesizers to achieve complex layering. To me, that stands out. I enjoyed it a lot. My favorite song was "Come Together".

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.

I didn’t think I liked the Beatles very much but I was surprised at how much I liked this album. The popular songs are popular for a reason but I liked the lesser known songs too!

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...

What hasn't been said?

Meh, come together is fun, but like this is such stupid psychedelic songwriting. It is truly children’s music. Yo Gabba Gabba Level Yall !

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%.

There some excellent moments but there is also a bizarre tendency to veer towards nursery rhyme/knees up songs around the Joanna. As with many later Beatles albums, George Harrison is at the centre of all that is good. I think it probably should be a 5 but it is also rated higher than Revolver at the moment which is just plain wrong, so 4 it is.

It’s a great album and the medley on the back side of this shows the brilliance of the album as a format as I’m not sure some of the songs work in isolation. It’s an album with some of the Beatles’ greatest highs on (two of which are Harrison’s work here) but also some duds (‘maxwell’s silver hammer’, ‘polythene pan’, ‘octopus’ garden’). I want you (she’s so heavy) also feels quite out of place on this, and I’m not sure that the Beatles lend themselves well to the rock and roll blues that this was going for. Despite that, some excellent songwriting, interesting harmonies, some real restraint shown on some songs (‘come together’ is an excellent demonstration of less being more). The little accompaniments (most likely from George Martin) also add a little sparkle to the songs just to make the rest of the band shine more. Just not quite as good as revolver in my eyes.

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!!!!!

Not their best album. Pretty mid overall, save for a couple key tracks (Come Together, Here Comes...) Whatever, I'm only a third through this project and I'm getting pretty fucking irritated with the narrow scope and bias towards mainstreamers like Bob Dylan and these guys, so ANOTHER BEATLES ALBUM got my patience gooooood and short.

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.

What is with these bands that no one has heard of and their obscure albums??

Not a big fan of the Beatles, but is a decent album

I've never really liked the Beatles. It isn't that I don't get it, it's more that their output is so diverse that I can easily find songs I like because I like bands clearly influenced by those songs, but as much as that there will be songs I just don't like. I really dislike them when they're whimsical because its just so dull and it happens so often. They so rarely feel like they have an edge. This album is like that. When I like it - Come Together, Oh Darling, I Want You - I really like it. But when I don't - Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Octopus's Garden, Mean Mr Mustard - it blows. And there's so much filler here. 7/10 rounded down to 3/5 because its overrated.

You think a band is oversaturated that you roll your eyes when the album comes up. And then you find out: you don't know shit. Exactly why I love this.

Loved it 🤩

Yes, it’s great

Famous, delightful and fun. I’d it my favorite Beatles album? No. Is it solid? Yes.

I’ve come a long way in my opinion of this album. It historically have not been one of my favorites, though I thought it was just all right. Then, eventually, I started to dislike it just feels a little bit too cleaned up, but nowadays the suite at the The end feels really strong and makes good use of the strength of Phil Spector and the Beatles. I still have some reservations about Maxwell and the sound of dude’s voice on Oh Darling and Something (idk it sounds weird bad lead guitar work? Not emotional enough? Idk)

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

Let me preface this by saying, I have always been indifferent towards The Beatles. In my 38 years of existence, I have listened to their entire catalog multiple times, not by intention. Abbey Road remains a strong entry into this list with great songwriting, producing, and musicianship. It is not my favorite Beatles album, and that's ok.

Faaa los bitel🙏🏼

Never could get into the beetles. Listened to full album to try again. It didn't work.

Classic but boring. despite this album has very good songs, the rest of sound very similar and simple.

Arguably the greatest album by arguably the greatest band of all time.

I knew it, really god though

I like this one more every time I hear it

Not my favorite of their works, but some bangers.

would return for a few but primarily the hits

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.

Overrated but still good. I was surprised by how short the average song length was

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

the album was honestly super boring, way too old for my taste and didn't really excite me or anything. 4/10.

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

I’m just not a Beatles fan. The whole ‘they did everything for music’ Is a joke. They were just sex symbols at the time had a few hits, job done. Didn’t even give this a listen because I know my thoughts on them

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.

The highlights are so high it cant be ignored how influential and significant this album is. The Medley in on B Side is where i tend to check out but it could require more time to digest and dive in. Not sure if you can really hear the fact that this was their last album in the songs themselves but its interesting from a historical perspective. The album starts extremely strong and keeps the momentum enough to not become unenjoyable by the time you reach the end. Come Together, Something, Here Comes the Sun and Because will always be great to go back to.

Great beatles album

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?

Some really great tracks on here but not all are 5 star.

I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said

Animado, pasa escuchar en días que necesito subir mi animo

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!!!!

If this was the last album, they definitely pass the audition, I think it gets a four I want you. She’s so heavy does not need to be seven minutes. Lol and while it is cool that all the songs do mess together I think we can get rid of sun king through she came through the bathroom window objectively they seem rushed, and if the band could’ve stayed happy, they probably could’ve made something better with those but it’s a damn classic album when you have come together, something here comes the sun because you never give me money and then the ending three tracks of golden slumbers carry that way in the end along with a little fun her majesty I mean it’s the Beatles dude I’m gonna have to give it a four because they were some things that just didn’t vibe with but that’s just my opinion man. Great work boys always a fun listen

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

I really struggle with The Beatles, I can't get past my belief they are massively over-hyped. I tried to listen to this with an open mind but I'm not sure I managed it. Some of it was good, some very familiar, but some of it was average. TBH better than I expected - but not really my taste.

Very cohesive structure, which makes for a great album, but not as many pure bangers as REVOLVER

Memorable album

You could've given me any other Beatles album, I could be listening to Revolver or Sgt. Pepper right now man. Oh! Darling slaps at least.

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.

Incredible, but not as the first time I heard it

I see why people thought Klaatu was secretly The Beatles now.

Excellent so many great classic Beatles songs

The combination can be very strange — "Something" followed by "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" followed by "Oh! Darling"? I had forgotten how much I like "Golden Slumbers." That second side medley has always been interesting; the songs mostly shouldn't really fit together, but they do. Is that just something I've become used to?

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.

Na het luisteren van dit album realiseer je dat de Beatles eigenlijk geen één 5 sterren album heeft. Er staan altijd extreem goede uitschieters op het album maar ook altijd een paar discutabele. Dit is bij abbey road niet anders. De eerste twee nummers beginnen heel goed maar dan komt maxwells silver Hammer wat bijzonder irritant is. Oh Darling, wat hierop volgt is ook niet veel beter waardoor Octopus's garden bijna als een opluchting voelt. Het is duidelijk dat de Beatles bijna uit elkaar zijn en iedereen zijn eigen ding doet op het album. Harrison die zich meer manifesteert, Lennon die alleen zijn eigen nummers doet en McCartney die zijn eigen ideeën er doorheen drukt. De productie van dit album is wel erg bijzonder. Onsamenhangende nummers en een kant B vol losse flodders laten versmelten en dit zo goed doen dat luisteraars dit vele jaren later nog steeds een meesterwerk noemen is wel een bijzondere prestatie(bedoel dit niet sarcastisch). Er staan natuurlijk fantastische nummers op dit album en de invloed hiervan is ongekend. Zelf heb ik nooit de behoefte om na het luisteren van een Beatles album het nog eens te luisten. Er zijn veel goede momenten maar ik word nooit volledig in meegesleept. De cover is prachtig wat ook wat bijdraagt aan de mythische status van dit album.

Iconisch album. Vroeger had ik hier een poster van op mijn kamer hangen en ik ken het al jaren. Het begint sterk met Come Together, echt zo’n moment waarop Paul McCartney en John Lennon elkaar perfect aanvullen. Sterke baslijn en ook credits voor Ringo Starr, die hier gewoon strak speelt. Dit was natuurlijk ook de periode waarin de spanningen binnen de band hoog opliepen. Dat hoor je soms terug: niet iedereen lijkt het altijd eens met de richting van het album. Sommige nummers voelen daardoor een beetje doorgedrukt, zoals Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. Typisch Paul: quirky maar voor mij ook een beetje out of context. Octopus’s Garden is ook zo’n nummer waar ik minder mee heb. Een beetje simpel. Die regel “oh what a joy, for every girl and boy” haalt me er een beetje uit. Daar tegenover staan gelukkig genoeg momenten van pure klasse. Het album zit vol sterke melodieën en mooie ideeën, en vooral het tweede deel tilt het geheel echt naar een hoger niveau. Because vind ik bijvoorbeeld zwaar underrated. Het blijft een erg mooi en belangrijk album, maar persoonlijk niet mijn favoriet van The Beatles.

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

A tale of two covers. Come Together has been ruined for me by Aerosmith to the point that I never want to hear it again. And I've listened to Elliott Smith's cover of Because so many times I actually forgot it was on this album. The Medley is great, the Harrison songs more than prove his songwriting chops. I still want to steal the riff from She's So Heavy for an intro or mosh part.

would never understand beatles.

5/10 не однозначные эмоции не прям мое

Gutes Ding, kann man nicht anders sagen.

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

10/5 for Harrison, but the rest…

4.8 stars.

Imagine being a teenage boy living in London in 1969 whose girlfriend just broke up with him, and these fuckers release "Oh! Darling"

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

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.

Is it weird that I didn't know Come Together was a Beatles song? There would some nice songs on here, but to be honest most of it didn't click with me.

Posiblemente el mejor álbum de la historia.

Possibly The Beatles' magnum opus. I especially love The End Medley with all those tracks they "couldn't work out" into a single song. Given how Abbey Road finished recording after the Let It Be Sessions, I think that that medley is a wonderful send off to the band. Of course, the whole previous part of the album is also great. I don't think there's a single weak song in there. I just love it all.

Classic. All bangers no fluff.

Me gusta, buen álbum para ponerlo de fondo en ámbito cena, pastas y vinito

I don't think I ever listened to a whole Beatles album from start to finish until now. Probably because I always associated The Beatles with old people because it's what my parents listened to when they were young. Now, I am Old People and this is a pretty good album.

Classic. A lot of tracks I didn’t remember. Weird audio with the left/right channels.

Very good album. You can easily listen to it in the background and with friends and there will always be some bangers waiting, where everyone is singing along.

About the 1001 list: Big fan of this site, but the list itself is somewhat terrible. The easiest way to instantly and vastly improve it would be to impose a two-albums-per-artist limit. Beatles fans (among others) will cry, but they might actually learn something. About this album: Probably my favorite Beatles. Side two was especially nifty to me the first many times. BUT I NEVER EVER NEED TO HEAR THIS EVER AGAIN. The world is a big place, and there is so much interesting music that I haven't heard hundreds of times.

Arguably the best album from the greatest band of all time, so obviously a banger. Not sure what else there is to say. Stands up and slaps.

Classic Gold

Oh wow je l'attendais celui-là! Gros coup de coeur comme le White album. Un mélange de styles et de sons qui s'écoute tellement bien. C'est triste de savoir qu'ils s'entendaient vraiment mal lors de l'enregistrement de cet album et que ce fut leur dernier. Aussi dommage que la seconde moitié ce soit des fragments de chansons jamais abouties, j'aurais probablement donné un 6.

I’ve listened to this album more times than I can count, and while it’s not my favorite Beatles album, it’s still brilliant and worth 5 stars. To experience it differently for this challenge, I decided to listen to it stoned for the first time. I think I felt this on a deeper level than I expected. The breakdown of the Lennon-McCartney partnership is palpable throughout the album, and even with that immense division and deviation, it’s still one of the most cohesive pieces of media I’ve ever heard. Speaking of the partnership, it can be used as analogy for so many different parts of life at every stage. It’s really stunning how much the music of the Beatles and story of the band encapsulate the human experience, with Abbey Road being the culmination of a life journey. The cover image, and while the funeral walking order is one of my favorite parts of the Paul Is Dead conspiracy, could also just be seen as the end of the human life cycle, or in this case, the life cycle of the band. Whether or not that was the intention, Abbey Road is the culmination of what it’s really like to live a life. Also I keep calling this The White Album.

Always grumpy about having to listen to The Beatles but this one… man, it was good in places.

Another one of the best albuns of all that. As i always said, everything that came after this is inspired by this.

I'm so sick of The Beatles but what are you going to do...this album is just amazing.

incredible rock band goes to the studio one more time, puts out a few of their best songs, ends on a great run of short songs with everybody taking a solo on the last track. 'and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make' while the band dissolved in burnout and petty squabbles. perfect. the stuff of mythology. music: appreciated. (⌐❂ ̮ ❂)

Average score on this one makes me want to work myself into a frenzy and fully become convinced that Abbey Road sucks and then hate it for the rest of my life but that’s just not practical is it

- ohan tääny hyvä ja hyvii biisei ja kuulee kyllä et joku muukin artisti on tästä joskus innostunut, ei silti ehkä itelle säännölliseen toistoon ole tulossa vieläkään

Really light instrumentals. Perfect for a spring day. I love the use of drums and electric guitar (I think?). "I want you (she's so heavy)" has a sensual yet rock feeling to it. "Because" is so ethereal. "Her Majesty" is the perfect end to the album.

greatest album of all time

What is there to say that hasn't been said before? The best album of the best band ever. I was just watching "Get Back" too, nice coincidence...

And I've got a hole in me pocket

Sgt. Pepper I couldn't (and can't) wait to listen to again. This one is great, but no similar emotional reaction to it. Blasphemy, &tc.

My second favorite Beatles Record and a brilliant cap on an incredible musical partnership.

Oh hell yeah 😎 After getting bad album after bad album almost every day this month, I was starting to get really depressed about this project. But I fucking love this album, I really needed this today.

Outstanding contribution to road crossing safety.

Great album

Iconic cover, iconic songs, 2 classics by the best Beatle, and the suite of songs in second half

Glad that during all the personal drama and infighting, during the great social upheaval at the end of the 60s, the Beatles could come together and record one last masterpiece: Octopus’s Garden

When I was younger I played the Beatles to death. I don't listen to whole albums of theirs often, so it was nice to give this a relisten. Favorite songs: I Want You, Here Comes The Sun, Golden Slumbers

Good album again from the Beatles. Nice combo of songs here. FS I want you

Damn this is a good album. This hits bang so hard, and the lower points on this album are still fun. I still maintain that there is no perfect Beatles album, but this is such a strong 4 that I am giving it a 5.

abbey road, the best album in music history. I will never get tired of listening to this.

Weirder than I remember.

Wonderful mix and breadth in the album.

I honestly don't know if I can write a review that would do this justice. It's a top album from one of the best and most influential bands ever. It's truly remarkable that they were able to put together something so incredible given the circumstances that the band was barely holding on by a string at that point in time. If you're unsure, just go check out the Wikipedia page for the album. One of the easiest 5/5 that I'll give on this.

pretty good album i never liked the beatles or tried to listen to their music before this and i can say this was pretty good i always found beatles fans annoying favorite song is probably octopuses garden overall 50 being average this would be a 86/100

I mean it's the Beatles. Of course it's good of course I like it but I just don't gaf. I gaf very little I'm finding out. I did not know the Beatles had all this in them. Sing it white boy sing it. Big fan of this. Some funky guitar work. Yeah man sometimes I'd like to be under the sea as well. It's definitely dynamic and interesting. The really we're just doing whatever. What the hell the sing song?? The goat did it better. Bigger fan of this than I thought actually. Favourite: Oh! Darling Least favourite: Maxwell's Silver Hammer

I have heard this album so many times..It still jams.

Overall Rating - 4.65/5 (9.29/10). (17 Tracks) I struggle to figure out how to fairly rate this, because of Side 2. One of the all-time great albums. Gold from beginning to end. I am not ashamed to say that Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End brings me to tears. Here Comes the Sun is nearly perfect.

incredible, a generational classic for a reason.

Album 12 3/16/26 What to say about Abbey Road? It's currently the #2 rated album on the site. It's my first Beatles album on the list so I won't do all my Beatlemaniac gushing now, but you should know there's a decent chance on any given day I'll listen to at least 5 Beatles songs without even thinking too much about it. If I highlighted key tracks I would really just be describing the whole album, which is why it's a no doubt 5. I'll limit myself to just the five songs I'm allowing myself to add to my 1001-core playlist. First off, Something is a song I can never hear and not wistfully sing along to. George's best song? Probably. Incredible Billy Preston and George Martin contributions. Secondly, Oh! Darling might be my favorite Paul vocal performance ever. Just so powerful, famously made Lennon jealous. Lennon's track I'm highlighting is I Want You (She's so Heavy). John put out one last Beatles rocker and somehow invented doom metal in the process. Representing the second side, I chose to round out my 5 picks with She Came in Through the Bathroom Window and The End as my faves from the medley. The former because it's so a fun transition that always makes me smile, and the latter for the closing out the album so well with each Beatle getting their moment. Doing honorable mentions anyways: Come Together and Here Comes the Sun are probably also both perfect tunes but have been praised enough already. You Never Give Me Your Money is not discussed enough as a perfect little suite-within-a-suite. Octopus's Garden has such incredible guitars and is obviously Ringo's best composition before 1974. The wealth of outstanding compositions makes me inclined to give out the easiest 5 ever, and to believe there is only one other album on this list I know about that can beat it. We'll talk about that when Revolver is generated. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I want to find the Beatles overrated. Because they were so big and popular and when I was younger, I generally equated that with people that I didn't care for or about. But goddamn this album is good. I've really expanded what I've listened to since I was a teenager, and I've listened to a good amount of The Beatles and this is obviously some of their best. In my mind, the grouping of golden slumbers/ carry that weight/ the end is the best Beatles run.

Legends of legends. A 5-mark system is not enough to measure the Beatles; it's just impossible!

I like the harmonies and the crunchy guitar. I don’t care for the slower pace of many of the songs. I already liked Come Together. With this listen I also enjoyed Mean Mr. Mustard and Carry That Weight.

Ein wundervolles Album! Der octopus <3

It's so great--an obvious five stars and one of the best albums of all time. The medley is fantastic and even though "Come Together" doesn't really do it for me, it would be another band's masterpiece song. So let's dwell on the Beatles album rankings, all of which should be on the 1001. 1. 'The Beatles' (white album): Got it all and then some. 2. 'Sgt. Pepper's:' Psychedelic masterpiece of whimsy. 3. 'Abbey Road:' Oustanding blend of big rock that flows together so well. 4. 'Revolver:' The transition album in between the teen icons and hippie spirit. 5. 'Rubber Soul:' Diversity of sound and pathos. 6. 'Beatles for Sale:' The underrated covers album. 7. 'Help!:' The Liverpool lads just got better and better this period in songwriting and making it lusher. 8. 'A Hard Day's Night:' Fantastic groove in the non-singles. 9. 'Let it Be:' Like U2's 'Joshua Tree,' this album has some incredible huge singles but then also some lesser stuff. 10. 'With the Beatles:' This sophomore album shows some improvement from the year's earlier ... 11. 'Please Please Me:' The best songs here weren't singles ("I Saw Her Standing There" and "Twist and Shout"). NOTE: If 'Magical Mystery Tour' counts, it shoots all the way up to second but it's really an extended play/compilation, as is 'Yellow Submarine,' which would be last.

Five. Fiiivvveeeee. To me, this is probably one of the top 5 or 10 best albums of all time. Might be Rushmore. Might be #1. But it's a five, hands down. No skips, and the medley on Side 2 is immaculate. Even the corny shit (Bang Bang and Octopus) is still wonderful. These mfs rocked em.

Lost my notes, yeah it's a good Beatles album I enjoy, had a teacher that had an Abbey Road poster and he was cool. There are a couple of tracks that have really cool choirs, and plenty of cool strings on like every track.

Siempre Beatles

I guess I’ll start playing which Beatles album is the best Beatles album, because every one of them from Help on is 5 stars. This one is near the top but not quite the top. Maybe in 2nd place. Will be thinking harder, but I just think the medley is one of the most interesting things—if not my favorite Beatles songs. Also, THE ORGAN on this is incredible. Was Billy Preston a Beatle?

When I was a kid this was my favorite album of all time. I loved Come Together, Something, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, the trio of Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, and The End. Ultimately, it's no longer my favorite album, but it's still pretty far up there. This is the Beatles masterpiece. As good as their other albums are, I don't think anything really comes close to this. Truly one of the all time great albums, and probably the most deserving of being on this list out of every album ever made. Simply said, it's perfect. Listen to it.

Great. A masterpiece. One of the best album by the best band. All songs are great except Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Octopus' Garden. I particularly love I Want You and the medley.

The official end of the era known as the 60s. Iconic in artwork, production, use of Moog synthesiser, a multi part segueing song suite and a pop song based on a backwards Beethoven sonata! Paul had excelled himself on the Get Back / Let it Be shelved sessions with three classics but he and John were now giving way to George as the strongest emerging songwriting talent. Something is one of their greatest songs and Here comes the sun us now their most streamed song with the kids now. He was soon to be the biggest selling solo Beatle in the immediate aftermath of the break up. Abbey Road was not reviewed that well at the time and is now firmly among the highest regarded of their albums, deservedly.

Good to see some indie/lesser known bands on here

Hey, it's the best one

Ahhhhhhhh

Every song hits

I mean, come on.

Прикольно, но местами скучно

I need to go back and redo some of my earlier ratings. Cos I have some 5 stars in there but this stands above. Can I give it 6?? I am a beatles fanatic and will give most of their albums 5 for sure, but even for their catalogue, this one captures them at an amazing moment. Georges contributions are unbelievable, Johns are unbelievable, they're all unbelievable! Truly an all time top 5 album in the history of music

Yeah, it’s a classic.

beatles halt

konstant geiler vibe, texte nice, einfach richtig gut

My second favorite Beatles album. Easily a 5/5. No skips. Highlights are all of side 2. I love the sequencing leading up to the end. This album shows what the Beatles are all about.

Love!! I own this whole album. It’s one of my favorite Beatles albums. I particularly love Something and Because. I also love the end of the album when all of the songs blend together.

3.5 - Good

whilst it has its imperfections, there’s no denying the quality of songs on it. Kicking off with all-timer Beatles’ song _Come Together_, it features two of George’s best songs, a fantastic vocal performance by McCartney on the doo wop style _ Oh! Darling_ and Lennon’s incredible, dense, _I Want You (She’s So Heavy)_. And even though I’m not sure the medley quite comes off, the songs within it are all high quality and perhaps deserved more themselves, particularly the stirring _Golden Slumbers_ into _Carry That Weight_.

Masterpiece.

Ok... Le top 2 de la liste... The famous one : "Abbey Road". Honnêtement, ça pouvait difficilement mieux tomber, c'était pile le jour où j'ai décidé de me refaire la discographie des Beatles en une traite. Enfin bref, toujours est-il qu'il faut parler de l'album. En vérité, même si cet album est pour moi un classique intemporel, il a toujours été une légère frustration chez moi qui ai toujours préféré "Sergent Pepper" par rapport à "Abbey Road", me forçeant donc à lui trouver quelques défauts. Dès lord, j'aimerais tout d'abord dire que je trouve l'album vraiment hétérogène dans sa tracklist, avec une face A très très dense, et tout bonnement exeptionnelle avec strictement aucun son qui n'est pas un classique, mais qui vient par comparaison, eclipser selon moi le reste du projet, beaucoup plus court et dépouillé, paraissant alors moins intéressant. C'est en effet à mon sens le plus gros point noir de tout le projet, mais d'un autre coté, il n'est question là que d'un problème de surface car lorsque l'on regarde plus attentivement, cette section originale peut se trouver en réalité très intéressante sous bien des aspects. En effet, comme dit plus tôt, je pense que la première partie du projet est l'une si ce n'est le meilleur sequencing tout album confondu, avec un opening sur "Come Together" qui introduit très bien la tonalité de l'album, puis des sons à temps forts comme "Something" ou "Oh ! Darling" qui amène un dynamisme incroyable, tout en étant rattrapé par des sons à temps calme comme "Maxwell Silver Hammer" ou "Octopus Garden" qui viennent eux aussi enrichir le projet, en le colorant d'une energie directrice, en maintenant néanmoins l'attention de l'auditeur et en gardant un niveau aussi haut que le reste des morceaux. Enfin, la première partie se conclue sur un mélange de ces deux facettes avec "I Want You (She's so heavy)", qui offre une tonalité bien plus froide avec des passages très calmes, rapidements effacés par un drop terrifiant et mythique; parfait pour ouvrir à la seconde partie de l'album. À partir de là, c'est vrai que j'ai moins de choses à dire. En effet, les sons comme "Mean Mr Mustard" ou "Polythene Pam" m'ont bien moins marqué, de part leur tailles, ou juste leur ambiance. Néanmoins, on peut dire que certaines parties restent excellentes avec par exemple "Because" qui reprend un air de "I want You.." tout en ouvrant lentement vers "You never give me Your money". En effet, ce qu'on peut surtout retenir de cette deuxième partie, c'est qu'elle nous offre une tracklist beaucoup plus soudé que la première, non plus avec des temps forts et calmes, mais avec une longue suite de morceaux qui s'imbriquent entre eux. On le voit d'ailleurs parfaitement avec la suite "Golden Slumbers" "Carry That Weight" et "The end" qui se connectent tous en offrant un ending absolument incroyable grâce à sa montée puis son choeur qui reste en tête et enfin, cette conclusion simple, parfaite pour cloturer le projet. D'autre part, on peut noter qu'il y a quelques essais originaux comme Sun King avec de l'espagnol, ce qui surprend agréablement à la première écoute. En résumé, l'album est pour moi un projet avant tout absolument unique, qui impose sa direction de deux manières différentes, mais en gardant un cap clair, un cap dont le dynamisme, la couleur, et l'ambiance est affiché dès la pochette : Celle d'un groupe londonien entre du vert, du gris et du bleu, qui nous fait voyager dans les villes, dans les coeurs, et sous les océans 🐙. Album excellent, 5

Finally, a Beatles album. And not just any Beatles album, but arguably their very best and one of my favorite albums of all time. The band was falling apart, and yet they still managed to create an absolute masterpiece that feels cohesive even though creatively they were at odds. I could rhapsodize about this album for hours and still leave things unsaid. It’s timeless. I love it so much.

I want to preface by saying, I am in the minority of people that don't really vibe to the Beatles. I never thought they were bad. I just didn't much care for their music, but my dad always listened to them while I was growing up so this still carries a nostalgia for me. All of this to say, I absolutely think this album deserves every bit of hype around it. This is the best of the best, not just in the Beatles discography, but also in terms of rock albums in general. Every song got better than the next with not a single lackluster track in sight. There's a lot of variety here that I appreciate, showcasing each band member's writing and performance style. It really is just phenomenal. I'm not sure there's more to say than that. I'm not a big Beatles gal, and I still absolutely adore this.

4 tracks saved, including some bangers like Come Together. Some truly off the wall songs on this album

Great experience. First time listening to something else from The Beatles than just the most popular songs.

Pocas cosas no fueron dichas sobre este album, un blueprint en la historia de la música y la portada mas iconica ever

An absolute classic from the Beatles. I don't think there's a single even mediocre song on the album.

Album 128. Abbey Road — The Beatles (1969) Is it really happening? Is it Christmas today? Because it feels like a Christmas gift. One of the best pieces of music ever created. 5/5 Liked: — Come Together — Something — Octopus’s Garden — I Want You (She’s So Heavy) — Here Comes The Sun — Because — Carry That Weight

(91/100)

Okay album.

I do not like the Beatles.

I think this is one of those albums that is a no brainer for most iconic albums. it checks all boxes. Iconic, instantly recognizable and have some timeless classic. Is the Album a album that is perfect, in my case no. The hits are unforgettable and the impact of the album is huge from a cultural perspective but most song I forgot instantly except those I heard. The writing is still in a class of their own and don't really disappoints on quality. So is this a must hear, Yes! even I this is not one of my favourite album it really is something you should give a listen because it's such a recognised album.

Del año 1969, uno de los discos más escuchados de la historia y base de nuestra cultura artistica a nivel mundial. Con un sonido reconocible a miles de años luz los beatles nos entregan una obra maestra desde todos los sentidos. Que más puedo decir ctmmmmmm

I mean, come on! 5/5

Some of the most sublime music ever recorded. Even if there are some annoying Beatles affectations throughout this, the high points are about as high as anything out there. Octopus's Garden is my favorite Beatles song, which means you can ignore all of my opinions about music!

Hello me from High School, this is me from the future. How did you become so obsessed with The Beatles? Genuinely, what was the spark that lit the fuse. This has nothing to do with the quality of this album, but rather what this album invokes in me. This album is great, although in retrospect I do find elements of the Side B suite to be under worked. It's goofy and fun and I love that, but some times Mean Mr. Mustard and Pam just seem like they had to record what they had to meet a deadline. That being said a song like Maxwell's Silver Hammer is perfect, thank you Paul for writing one of the most Paul songs you could. Also shout out to George, he knocks it out, just this man was doing his whole this while everyone was pissin themselves. I could ramble on very long about this album, I think there's a lot to enjoy and discuss and I although part of me wants to rate this album lower due to me not being in a part of my life where I have the urge to re-listen and re-listen to this, nevertheless, this goes out to me from high school, singing Oh Darling at the top of my lungs.

me gustó, me gustaron las vibras y el primer tema es un banger, me parece chimba como las canciones de conectan

Awesome. One of my top 5 of all time.

The Beatles' final (recorded) album continues the band's exploration of different styles that ran wild on the white album. The material isn't quite as varied here, but this one boasts a much higher hit rate. All four members contribute great songs. "Something" is beautiful with a stunning climax, "Oh Darling" has tremendous vocals, "Octopus's Garden" is fun and silly, and "I Want You" is heavy and hypnotizing. The medley at the end takes a few songs to really get going, but once it does it turns into one of the best sides on a Beatles album. It's not quite a perfect album - "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is too silly and I've never found "Here Comes the Sun" more than good. But this is very comfortably their second best and a masterclass in songwriting.

Super Dope

I remember listening to this album for the first time and being shocked that it actually was as good as they say. The thing that strikes me most about this album is the incredible variety in moods and emotions, it’s a real eclectic mix of songs. From the cool groove of “Come Together” (what a drum part), to the sombre “Something”, the darkly moody “I Want You” and the joyous “Octopus’ Garden”. And they’re all amazing, even the much maligned “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” I think is charming in its own cute kitsch way. Same with “Octopus’ Garden” which has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. The only misstep in this regard for me is the very jarring transition from “I Want You” to “Here Comes the Sun”. There’s just too much to really even talk about so I’ll just mention some highlights: The rhythm section in “Come Together”; the guitar solo in “Something”; all of “She’s So Heavy”; the haunting harmonies of “Because”; the bass part in the middle of “She Comes in Through the Bathroom Window” and McCartneys incredible vocals on “Golden Slumbers”. All in all, bloody brilliant.

Fantastic album just like all the other Beatles albums. Favourite song, here comes the sun.

I am not a Beatles fanatic, but I was excited to see this cover pop up. I felt unworthy to review this record, but such was my task. In listening through, I was struck more than I'd expected – because of the amount of 60's music I've listened to since starting the project. Songs I already thought were amazing, stand out more than ever, as incredible achievements for their time. I felt like reading more – Wikipedia article is interesting but sad – life is short and the project's clock is ticking. Come Together: stupendous. (Evokes Lennon's later solo work.) Something: incredible. Yearning, reaching, not quite getting there? Maxwell's Silver Hammer: problematic, I don't like extended disjunct between oom-pah nonchalance and story of violence. (Particularly noting lyrics/music don't develop after the reveal in first chorus.) Oh! Darling: in isolation, seemed inconsequential, but in context, it works. Octopus's Garden: I always thought was light relief, but felt great in context. I Want You (She's So Heavy): stupendous. Audacious but it gets there. (Me in 1969: “what is that behind the band, how did they make that noise?”) Here Comes The Sun: okay. Because: in isolation, seemed like cod psychedelia, but in context it's bold and authentic. “The Long One”. You Never Give Me Your Money: this band could definitely play. Sun King: never heard it before, but style is familiar, must have been influential. (Tame Impala??) Mean Mr Mustard: somewhat know the music, no idea what it's about, wowed by fudgey bass line, time signature trick, suddenly it's over? Polythene Pam: I didn't realise how creative this mix was. (Influenced Queen?!) She Came In Through The Bathroom Window: well put together, lyrics intriguing. Golden Slumbers: gutsy singing, great orchestration. Carry That Weight: I always thought was part of one song with Golden Slumbers, maybe it's inseparable. The End: drum solo? Rhythm guitar that rocks out. Lead solo(s) – which I didn't realise were traded – Hendrix had already arrived in London, so work cut out for guitarists – recorded live in one take?!? Famous closing phrase – sounds like Yes? Her Majesty: cutting off in the middle of a bar is striking, but I don't get it as a closer. (I understand it got pulled out from the medley, I don't get why.) Overall: a lot to think about. Clearly incredibly influential. Worthy of many a listen. Not perfect, but Pretty Wonderful, 9/10.

From a non-Beatles enthusiast, this is such a rich and varied tapestry, showing off the talents of each member in their latter stages as a group. Come Together and The End are perfect bookends for the album, and the side B medley is nice.

This is a certified hood classic.

There’s a reason this is widely considered one of the best albums of all time. Even if you put aside how massively influential it is, the music is just straight up really good. It’s simultaneously very polished and thrilling and gorgeous. Literally how do I pick which parts of this album I liked? It’s all good. I lowkey just picked a few songs I liked as my favorites bc I love them all. Fav songs: something, maxwell’s silver hammer, sun king

Obviously a really great album!! It’s probably been reviewed to death but my favorite parts are the really nice vocal harmonies on Because and Octopus's Garden, Paul’s really tasteful bass playing throughout (but especially on Something and You Never Give Me Your Money), and George’s experimentation with his Moog. Overall, John’s contributions to Abbey Road are probably my least favorite, but they’re still amazing songs. The production really does an incredible job tying together so many disconnected ideas into a cohesive, flowing album. I especially like the jam on side two for this. It’s the best version of what it is. Favorite Songs: Something, Here Comes the Sun, Because, Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight

7/10 Best songs: Oh! Darling, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Polythene Pam My third Beatles album in less than 75 albums, and my second in a week. Figures that'd happen to someone who's not a particularly big fan. I understand how insanely influential the band is, and some of their songs are absolute bops, but I just don't find their albums especially interesting. It says something that my favorite songs from this album are the ones that aren't popular and where the singing/music is a little more out there. Much of this album oscillates between being overly low key and overly quirky (like "hurdy gurdy I'm a goofy circus performer"). While better than their other albums I've heard, and while it has some flashes of brilliance, and while it's highly influential... it's not amazing by any means.

Easiest five ever.

4.1/5 Stars Top Songs: Come Together, Here Comes the Sun, Oh! Darling

Fabuloso!

All-time great. Medley at the end is one of the best ever.

I mean, what can you say about this album? It's the Beatles!

A classic in the truest sense of the word and I will never deny it that. However, I have always been a fan of earlier Beatles records and this album, though as classic as it is, did not move the needle. There are some timeless songs on here (although a few have been beyond overplayed at this point) but, for me, as an overall album experience it was not as amazing as so many people have said. 4/5

This is an easy one. On the Mount Rushmore of greatest rock albums, there would be four gents walking across the stone.

Honestly, pretty good despite my previous assumptions about the beatles.

I've actually never just sat down and listened to the Beatles. It's a much more subdued sound than I expected. It's what I would call soft-rock or even a punk sound in today's language. Funny that this was such a new sound back then. The more I listen, the more foundational this album sounds. There are so many different sounds and influences I can hear. It sounds like early 70's rock, early 80s rock, even some 90s. They built some foundational music here. If I did not know the history, I'd say they are just genre-agnostic, but since they pretty much created the rock genre I can definitely hear how crazy this must have been back in the day.

SOO COOL 🪲

Definitely a popular album for a reason

A masterpiece. I didn't realise I liked this album so much

Iconic album for a reason.

There are many other better albums by the Beatles in terms of musicality but the presence of Something, Here Comes the Sun, and Come Together have always saved this one for me. I’ve also always loved the sequence of the last three tracks knowing this was the last album they recorded together.

One of the best albums of all time. Some of the most iconic songs ever written, with a lot of wildly creative gems in between. Rewarding and wholly entertaining listen with no weak spots or filler tracks

The Beatles forever ❤️

Come together, sun king, i want you - las más interesantes. El resto es mas suave o poco destacable.

Abbey Road is a classic — not much else really needs to be said. Even a track like Octopus's Garden, which was never one of my favourites, has properly grown on me over time. It’s just an album full of great songs and great harmonies. Everything sounds polished but still effortless. You can hear how tight the band are, and the production — with George Martin behind it. It’s hard to pick a favourite track, but maybe Maxwell's Silver Hammer. It gets overlooked a bit, but when you stack it up against some of their bigger hits, it definitely deserves more credit. Even knowing there were tensions around that time, the album sounds completely unified. And of course, the cover — the band walking across the zebra crossing outside Abbey Road Studios in London — is still one of the most iconic images in music. With all or this and the influence this album continues to have today, it can’t really be anything less then a 5/5

First half excellent, lost me for 6 ish songs though
