Reviews (page 5 of 16)
Peak music. Not the best by them IMO, but still perfect.
Mood/Vibe: Soft rock pop folky blues mix & I’m so here for it. An iconic album for a reason Standout Tracks: -Come Together, duh. -Oh! Darling is a song I didn’t really know but oh my god do I know it now. One of my absolute favourites. The screams! The high to low. The teetering on rock and soul. Sublime. -I Want You (She’s So Heavy). Yes. Perfection Replay? All damn weekend & forevermore Opening/closing song: Ooft the first song hits SO GOOD. Come Together is such a catchy opening song and it was goddamn stuck in my head all day. That strange bass/synth/drum (?) wobbly thwack sound. I can’t get enough of it. So fucking good man. Perfect album opener. Her Majesty the closing song was 25 seconds and I just… I don’t know. Notes: A few years ago I went down a Beatles rabbit hole. Listened for months on end but their catalogue is a behemoth of hits hits hits and while I knew of many songs I didn’t KNOW many songs and it made it hard to know where to start. I’m excited to cycle through each other their albums. This one is GOOD. Like really good. I love the bluesy folk moments, I love the absurdity of their lyrics and stories like Octopus’s Garden. The high-highs of Come Together, Oh! Darling and Carry That Weight are unmatched.
Can you imagine it's 1969, you buy this, get it home, put it on the record player and are immediately greeted by Come Together? It must have been mind-blowing. There are at least three different bands on this record, and I love at least two of them. I Want You (She's So Heavy} has been a favourite for years, it's so deliciously sinister sounding. We had a teacher when I was about 8 who'd play guitar and have us all singing Octopus's Garden, among other songs. This album just exists in the very fabric of the world. I don't know why I'm still typing, there's nothing I can say here that hasn't already been said a million times about this. It's Abbey Road, that's all you need to say.
Oh man. Oh god… I mean, what to even say. If I’m ever going to get a lyric tattooed somewhere on me then “And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make” is, for sure, a top three contender. Thank you for everything, The Beatles—still, now and forever, the best to ever do it. <3 <3 <3
Simply the best
I have to side with the popular opinion for once – this album is a true classic. I can't get enough of "I Want You"; I've had it on repeat for three days and even figured out the guitar part, which really says something.
The most iconic album and album cover of all time, them walking across a zebra crossing outside Abbey Road Studios has become one of the most famous and imitated image in the history of music. Most consider this record the greatest album of all time. Most of my Beatles knowledge came from various compilations and songs that i've covered over the years, so I never really knew which songs came from what albums. I should've guessed from the way people spoke on the album, but I was surprised by how so many of the Beatles bangers were on this one. It's probably my favourite Beatles album as well. Incorporates genres such as blues, pop, and progressive rock. I already knew pretty much most of the songs from this album, 11 songs out of 17, so it was good to listen to the rest of the songs that I haven't heard in a linear way all through out from beginning to end. Overall, in my opinion its almost a perfect record of it wasn’t for Maxwell’s Silver Hammer which breaks the pace and feel of the whole album, I enjoyed each and every other song.
Easy 5. Their best work
What can I say? One of the greatest albums ever made. Just the “medley” at the second half of the record is worth more than a lot of other records out there. It’s just that amazing.
mastyp
It’s Abbey Road by the Beatles. 10/10
Their just album. Their best album as a group or individually.
Génialissime
Pas fan des Beatles de manière générale mais cet album est quand même objectivement au dessus avec beaucoup de morceaux cultes, des rythmes et instru un peu plus variées
Un classique! 5/5
gotta hand it to em, der er ikke noget at sætte en finger på her
This album is just a banger parade.. i don't think I've ever heard it front to back, but I knew every song and knew the lyrics for a lot of them...
Great
peak
wow i think they might've done something here
Obviously
A classic, non sapevo avessero cantato pezzettini in spagnolo ahah
Amazing album, every song is so special. There’s classics in here, there’s experimental songs, the instrumentals create an ominous tone at times and a glorious one at others. Amazing vocals. 5/5, simple as.
This will be a very fragmented, stream-of-consciousness review. No grand statements or linear writeups, just a few thoughts. It’s crazy that it’s been Dark Side Of The Moon, Physical Graffiti, The Doors debut, and now this all in the span of a few days. Specifically with this album and Dark Side being globally rated albums #3 & #2, thats wild to me. So few albums innovate AND are culturally, universally praised immediately. Listen to that little synth/keyboard in “Maxwells Silver Hammer”. This was 1969? No way. So far ahead of its time. You know it’s a great Beatles album when even the Ringo song is good. Please listen to the demo version of “Octopus Garden”, George Martin helped Ringo shine on this one. “Golden Slumbers”? More like Golden Melody. What an incredible way to work a melody into multiple songs. And how about "Sun King"? it's literally like an audible version of laying out in the grass under the sun. So airy and easy-going. Good memories of Paul's live tribute to George Harrison, with his ukulele version of George's "Something". Somehow nearly as charming as the original on Abbey Road. I could go on and on. Everything's already been said though. This has got to be the best album of the 60's no? George Martin reels in the experimental sounds of Sgt. Pepper's, refines it, makes it more grandiose - all while corralling 4 guys who are starting to get at each other's necks. Isn't it insane that they weren't on the best terms making this album? They sound so cohesive and imaginative here. So much artistic ambition realized with complete success. 6/5 stars, an exemplary work of art
One of my favorite albums ever. I love the way a few of the second side songs just merge together. Also this really sounds like it is the end of the band, lyrically as well as the fireworks of the songs, kind of celebrating what had been
I dated a guy a long time ago who hated the Beatles and made it his entire personality. 🚩
My second favorite album of all time obviously a perfect 10 five star album
An all-time classic album. I especially enjoy the medley and "Oh Darling". 5 stars
This was actually the first proper Beatles album I owned, and some days it's still my favorite. It sounds amazing for an album recorded in 1969. George really shines here, with "Something" and "Here Comes the Sun", and this is probably the first Beatles album since the early days where I'd say my favorite song was written by Paul -- "You Never Give Me Your Money" is fantastic. Of course there's plenty of other highlights here, including "Come Together", "Oh Darling", "I Want You (She's So Heavy" and "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight" (really the entirety of the medley is terrific). The only songs that I think misfire are "Octopus's Garden" and the dreadful "Maxwell's Silver Hammer", which might be a low point for Paul. Still, there's enough greatness here to push this into classic territory. 5 stars.
Classic
I got to 1057 on this list before I finally got to Abbey Road, but it was worth it. Great album. No notes.
Abbey Road is the biggest break up album of all time. This entire album displays the songwriting, musicianship and charisma of th four biggest stars who are quite frankly sick of each other and ready for the next phase of their lives. But before the call it quits, they decide to make an unparalleled album to show that even when their friendships/partnerships are crumbling, they’re still the best band in the world. “Come Together” is the perfect example of this. Ringos sprawling drums, Paul’s deep bass line, George’s squealing solo and outro, and John’s near nonsense imagery for peace and rhythm is such a great start. “Something” a George song, is such a romantic swirl and the middle section gives me chills everytime Maxwells silver hammer and oh darling show Paul at his best (and sometimes worst, as John would call Maxwell “another of Paul’s granny shit) while Maxwell does have that lot tinnpan alley esque sound, the subject matter of it being the backdrop of a murdering psychopath gives it a sense of camp personality not found in his other old time timings. And “oh darling” a bellowing screaming, vocal range declaration of love and loss shows that Paul can be a master at all trades In what he does “Octopuses Garden” used for be an instant skip, but I’ve found great joy in this simple little Ringo number (actually rotten by Mr.Starr for once). Talking of peace and love underneath the shade of an octopuses garden is a great bit of surreal storytelling, accompanied by the lads musical arrangements “I want you She’s so heavy” is a whirlwind of musical genres (Blues, hard rock, bit of bossa nova and a proto death metal ending) that just speaks of John’s otherworldly obsession with yoko, and how it tears him up and drives him towards those multiple genres. And the last theee of so minutes with this doom waltz sweeps me away everytime “Here comes the sun” brings us up from the dregs of the last track and we float with the acoustic guitar and vocals just chanting for the sun. And while in the heavens we hear the clarion call of the Beatles perfect harmonies on “Because “ What follows is the Abbey Road Medley. A slick collection of songs that they couldn’t find conclusions too so they just kinda jammed them all together. My personal favorite is Sun King/Mean Mr.Mustard just with th e beautiful harmonies like in because, but then goes instantly to a tale of an ornery homeless guy. Golden slumbers, has that orchestral styling of Paul, combining his flowery arrangement and dropping a little grit in it Carry that weight, despite being very simple, I always just took as a metaphor for all four of the lads (also love the horn call back to “never give me your money”. That no matter where life takes them, they’ll carry the weight of this group and this experince for all time. And of course “the end” with its blistering solo and rare drum set and ultimate Beatles message of love you take is equal to the love you make Ultimately, this is just perfection. From listening to it a young age with my dad, to near obsession with it as a teenager and as someone who has lived a fairly long life at this point, I’m still finding things to connect and love about this album. A perfect send off to the biggest band in the world
Best: "The End" Worst: "Oh! Darling"
not overrated. a bunch of absolute classics and a few songs that i surely didn't remember existed at all; a lot packed into 47 minutes. innovative, catchy, harmonious, clean music that has and will stand the test of time. favorite song: Come Together, always
The greatest album by the greatest band. I don’t leave home without this album. It’s on my phone. It’s in all of my cars. It’s on my computer at work. It’s in my soul. On the list of 1001, this is #1.
Det som e fint med det her prosjektet e de gangan æ får høre på sånt æ av tilfeldige årsaker aldri har hørt på før og det vise sæ å være like bra som æ tenkte det kom til å være.
One last masterpiece from the greatest of all time. And what a song to end it on (I don't count her Majesty): all four guys both rocking together and having their individual moment to shine.
It's Abbey Road. FFS.
Fascinating and excellent
My favorite Beatles album since I was a kid. Lyrically, maybe it’s a little heavy on the whimsy but the music and production is excellent. Too bad it was the last album they recorded together, but they went out on a high note.
All the Beatles albums (except for Let It Be, maybe) get a 5 rating. I don't have a favorite album, but Abbey Road comes close. It's perfect in so many ways. Songwriting, singing, playing, production. I'll be a happy man if I listen to only Beatles albums for the rest of my life.
I mean, it really is that good. Maybe it's because I just listened to a different, earlier, worse Beatles album, but this is just so nostalgic and variable and great.
Despite wanting to be a contrarian, I did love this.
I noticed how much blues influence exists in the Beatles' work for the first time. Very cool album, so many little treasures in the back half. Not always lyrically there... ex I LOVED the instrumentation on she's so bad, cool running bass lines/organ riffs/etc and then there are ten words. Which is fine but I'm a vocalist and want more haha.
Core memory is listening to Abbey Road AT Abbey Road. I feel like Side A is perfect, Side B has perfection, the only thing that brings it down is some of the medley. But perfect way to end the band, perfect record.
Have never listened to the full album. Here comes the sun is a favourite.
I might be a bit of a Beatles fan boy but I've gotta give this a 5. It's not my favorite Beatles album but it's got a few of my top 10 Beatles songs - Octopus's Garden, Here Comes the Sun, Golden Slumbers. Just a deserved classic.
(listened before)
I've reviewed this extensively already BUT: I was jarred by the fact there was no fade out on She's So Heavy, AND it ended abruptly?! Confused. Shoutout once again to how transportive and ethereal Because and Sun King are. And how cool the intro to You Never Give Me Your Money is, as well as its voice effects and harmonies. WHAT a time overall like 5 stars of course OF course.
An all-time great.
When I was younger, I had a green second generation iPod shuffle filled entirely with Beatles music from all the CDs I had at the time. Abbey Road was always played first since it was sorted in alphabetical order. I spent a lot of time with this iPod so I have a lot of personal attachment to this album, along with the rest of The Beatles' discography. That being said, even without the time I've had with album, there's no doubt in my mind that I would still love this album if I had only listened to it for the first time today. The entire album follows The Beatles' last ditch effort to make their mark on the world as a complete band. While they couldn't have known at the time that their run as The Beatles was coming to an end, the album is characterized by such finality in the inevitability that they would split as agroup. Their end however doesn't close with a whisper but with a bang and such a grand finale that overshadows what would become their actual final album, Let It Be. To many, Abbey Road serves as a masterpiece that ends a flawless 7 year career that still remains uncontested in popularity, innovation, and impact upon the music world. A perfect conclusion to a perfect band.
It might not still blow me away like it did the 1st 100 times I heard it, but it’s still easily a 5 star album.
Probably one of my top 20 favorite albums of all time. And its not even my favorite, or 2nd favorite Beatles album. Something is my favorite song on the album.
my only real abbey road opinion is that 16 of the songs are window dressing for I Want You (She's So Heavy). this will be posted on the website
rating: 10/10 Ask me what the greatest album ever made is on a given day and it’s probably Abbey Road. It’s not my #1 favorite but definitely near the very top, and honestly could be one day, who knows. It’s just the Beatles at their consistent best after what was already the best generational run for a band ever, this is the synthesis of that. Their true artistic crowning achievement at their collective heights before dipping out after dropping Let It Be which is…an album. This had to break brains in 1969. I can’t imagine anything other than fans flipping the vinyl over and over all day long. A side is pretty much perfection. I won’t even hear any shit talking about Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, which I concede might the thing keeping me from concluding that is actually perfect, but I still love the song regardless. It ends with the absolutely monstrous She’s So Heavy, which is my absolutely favorite Beatles song. I would have a tough time of ordering a favorite 20 Beatles songs but I know for sure that She’s So Heavy would be #1. I’m pretty sure the band literally invented like 5 different genres with this one. Side B continues with some great early highlights (every song) and then flows into some great quirky little songs and ends triumphantly with the medley at the end. You literally feel uplifted by the mood of these tracks at the end of Abbey Road. The warmth of the Beatles is nearly unmatched, can’t wait for the 4 other albums that will eventually pop up here
Overhype + beatles legacy aside, what a great fuckin album 9.5/10
Grandioses Album!
Because the sky is blue It makes me cry
Es ist unfair, wie überragend diese Platte ist. Mein Lieblingsalbum der Band.
Really great. You can hear the fact that they are breaking up in the music
What's there to say that hasn't already been said? This record is amazing. Favourite Track(s): Come Together, Something, I Want You, Oh! Darling Least Favourite Track(s): Her Majesty
4.8 It took a while to get the genius of Abbey Road, I was always under the belief that Revolver or Sgt Peppers were much superior, but as time goes on the gap between them as closed such that it now arguably comes out top. Some absolutely unreal songs on here, I wish this was their final release instead of Let It Be as what a way to go out. To end the career of arguably the greatest band ever with The End...wow man. I'll start with the albums only low point - Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Another McCartney granny dancehall experiment that went wrong. Whilst they sometimes worked (Obladi) they often didn't - She's Leaving Home similarly kneecapped Sgt Peppers when it was in full steam. Ignoring that, there are a few other songs that don't hit the mark as well - Because showcases great harmonisation but otherwise falls a bit flat. But the rest are all absolute stellar tracks. She's so heavy is some of the heaviest music to ever happen given what else was out at the time. The ongoing coda spurred an entire generation of heavy metallers surely. Here comes the sun was what I chose to leave the altar to at my wedding. Come together is so fucking cool. But arguably the highlight for me is the medley. A lot of Beatles albums suffer from songs that don't hit the mark as well, which exist in number in this medley. But whereas on other albums you're spending 3-4 minutes with them, here it just blasts through them, never overstaying their welcome, and building something that is greater than the sum of its parts. It's absolute enguinity at it's finest.
It's all been said before I meeeaaannnnn it's been lauded and lauded and rightly so but I can't pretend to have some new form of laudation to offer
Can’t say I’ve ever listened to this album in its entirety, but I really enjoyed it
What can you say. Just pure perfection.
BEST 10 di sempre
Disco emblemático pero poca continuidad entre canciones. Cada una de su padre y de su madre.
Another true classic. Love the big medley at the end.
Yeah, of course, five stars. I imagine there will probably be too many Beatles and Beatles-adjacent albums in this exercise, but this is not the one to take off. Just the variety of impeccably crafted music here is stunning. I think "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is too corny to be anything other than a trifle, but I can't really take issue with anything else. George might be the MVP of this album with "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun" but Lennon is close behind with the shifty, paranoid "Come Together," the trippy, psychedelic "Because" and the primal, minimalist "I Want You (She's So Heavy)." A note on that last song. I have complained in the past about overlong, repetitive songs on other albums, but I love this one. What a hypocrite! The organ stabs, the bluesy instrumental break, the swelling, chaotic three-minute outro. I understand if people don't like it. I've complained enough about songs like this, but I always ride this one to the end. "Octopus's Garden" is terrific. Best song Ringo ever did or would do. Paul may have my two least favorite songs here (outside the medley). "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" was a precursor to a lot of the silly Paul solo/Wings stuff I couldn't vibe with. "Oh! Darling" is fine, I always wind up singing along to it. But he saved his best stuff for the medley. I've never really thought of the medley as a single musical work. "You Never Give Me Your Money" is a complete song in it's own right, and it's quite good. "Sun King/Mean Mr. Mustard/Polythene Pam/She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" is an impressive string of snippets that could have worked on their own as individual songs (but arguably, they were as long as they needed to be) and "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End" is the Beatles saying goodbye. I like everything here, but my favorite bits are the Polythene Pam guitar bridge leading into "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" and the orchestral integration on "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight" (shout out to George Martin). Anyway, this is a tremendous album. I've listened to it too many times for it to surprise me any more, but there are very few I'd keep in my collection over it. Abbey Road forever.
Yeah it’s a classic for a reason
feels like home
Essentially a perfect album. Even the misses like Maxwells silver hammer and octopus garden just fit perfectly. Amazing album
hell yeah Rockband Beatles memories coming through on this one. I remember hearing this a lot growing up, my dad had all these on vinyl and they got a lot of play. I didnt really get into the Beatles until much later and man what an experience to listen through it all again. I love Something and Oh Darling but really the whole album is paced well, written well, everything hits just perfectly.
Loved playing this album on Rockband: Beatles. There isn’t a skip on this album! And that medley at the end is such a delight. This is a great album
Es el disco más difícil de la historia. La banda más grande de todos los tiempos sentada a crear la que saben que será su última obra. Y todo esto después de encadenar cinco o seis obras maestras, con la obligación de estar a la altura. Y lo hacen con una aparente facilidad que es insultante. Es conceptual, es experimental, es progresivo, es rock and roll y lo es todo con una amabilidad al oído que resulta un encaje casi imposible. Siempre tengo dudas entre dos o tres sobre el mejor disco de la historia. Pero creo que hoy estoy decidido a que sea este. Deberíamos tener la oportunidad de otorgar diez estrellas alguna vez en todo este recorrido. Lo haría ahora mismo.
Hit after hit
Great beatles
One of the greatest albums of all time. No question. So many great moments. The second half is pure, communal genius. They made this album while they were breaking up just to show the world that they could still make great albums. Great Cover Art.
Who doesn't know every note of this album? The Beatles in their "final form". Though the band was disintegrating quickly, their creativity still shines through. The band is at the height of their powers right to the very end.
10
An amazing album recorded during the tail end of the Beatles career as a band. Have listened to it many times which will continue for as long as I can hear.
It's Abbey Road, you don't need another opinion on it
5)released in 1969, the mood is sad, an overwhelming sadness taints this album, the final album by these blokes from Liverpool. Gone are the fun ditties
It's almost not fair. I knew every song besides maybe one or two and now I love them. I had forgotten that Beatles had some songs that were more than 4 minutes.
Classic
Absolute classic. Haven't heard Octopus Garden since I was little. Favorite Song is Come Together, little basic Ik.
Wonderfull
A classic with one or two songs I could do without but at its best moments this is hard to beat 5*
Easily the best Beatles record, anyone that says differently is lying to themselves. I could listen to this all day, each song still sounds incredible. Favorites: Come Together, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, I Want You (She's So Heavy)
As good as it gets.
Lads
Not my fave Beatles album but can't knock em
One of the greatest albums ever made
Classic
I think I've given every Beatles album thus far a 4/5, but this one is a 5/5. Just good music through and through (although "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" overstayed its welcome). What else is there to say that hasn't already been said?
Incredible. Literally peak music. These guys are GOATs for a reason. Wish I could give 6 stars.
classic
4.8 2x old clasic
Ganske bra, bra flyt. Ikonisk
The medley is summa da best shit ever.
This really is a ripping album. They really were greater than the sum of their parts by this album. Just stunning from go to woah.
Yeah ok, I actually get this one. Really nice. Great range. No wonder everyone goons to the Beatles.
Brilliant
one of the greatest
I will say, it was incredibly refreshing to just listen to the Beatles without having in the back of my mind how iconic they are. Imagining I have never heard them before helped me a lot. With that being said It is a solid four leaning to a five but just barely escapes it. I wouldn't call it the best album of all time, but it is ver good, there is just something about it that is keeping it from going to the top... But now Im relistening to a few of the tracks and I think it deserves five, even though the end was getting a tad tedious. I don't know, I guess ill know what I decide tommorrow, so freaking hard.
Possibly the most iconic album ever made
A masterpiece, of course.
I'm so surprised that I haven't gotten a Beatles Album yet! Number 121. I think this is such a good album, obviously a famous album for a reason. It's the Beatles on a roll of good releases. Just a good, dynamic, interesting album all the way through. So many classics.
Impeccable songwriting and musicianship by the greatest band ever. I am not sure there’s a better album.
An absolute masterpiece of an album. That a collection of music of this caliber was put together in the midst of internal strife as the band was beginning to fall apart is nothing short of a miracle. Start to finish, this album is worth absolutely every second of your time.
5/5
They’re called the Beatles instead of the beetles because John Lennon loved to hit his wife
Up and coming indie band
Absolute magnum opus by one of the most import groups for modern pop music. The beatles deserve all the praise, and I don't mind critiques but most of your favorite artists exsist and freely create music because of their influence. Whether you wanna agree or not. Abbey in specific is my first delve into the beatles, in this year 2009. I a young lad with an iPod shuffle and Abbey 2009 on it. My life was never the same.
Abbey Road is the textbook definition of a perfect album. The record’s first 8 songs are a phenomenal run. “Come Together” is arguably Lennon’s greatest achievement and the song is crazy groovy. “Something” has one of the greatest lyrics in history. I don’t care about the hate “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” is excellent, and almost genius to be a kids song about a serial killer. “Oh Darling!” may very well be McCartney’s greatest vocal of his whole career. He carries that song to higher highs. “Octopus’s Garden” is impossible to dislike if you have ears. It’s so pleasant. “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” is one of the most intense buildups The Beatles ever did. “Here Comes The Sun” is essential 60s. The optimism, music, harmonies, that guitar riff. It’s just so perfect. “Because” is one of the band’s best uses of harmony in their whole career. But then, there’s the medley. See on their own that list of killer songs isn’t enough to be as good as Abbey Road, the medley makes this album. The multipart suite that is “You Never Give Me Your Money” is an awesome start. John’s stretch with “Sun King” (great harmonies), a good groove in “Mean Mr. Mustard” and a rock n roll sounding “Polythene Pam” is excellent before jumping into the pop perfection that is the mini song “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window”. But the true greatness comes on “Golden Slumbers” a beautiful ballad that leads directly into the triumphant “Carry That Weight” which has an amazing callback to You Never Give Me Your Money. That leads into the rockin “The End” which has amazing solos and possibly the greatest lyric McCartney ever wrote. I always have loved the harmonies and guitar that follow that line and end the medley. Truly amazing medley, the grand finale to The Beatles as an entity and arguably the greatest 16 minutes of music in history. “Her Majesty” is a fun little epilogue
A great reminder of what a truly perfect album sounds like.
Been meaning to listen for a while, unsurprisingly. Good? Not my personal fave beatles album, but good Favorite song: Medley Least Favorite: Here comes the sun (still good) 4.75 stars
phenomenal
First time listen for me. Never been that big of a Beatles fan but wow, loved it. Absolutely fantastic.
esse é bão demais e a produção é delicinha demais. gosto como tá todo mundo mais maduro musicalmente e 100% se odiando, é notável demais. achei que não seria 5 estrelas, mas é sim. nem todas são pedradas (alô here comes the sun), mas tem umas boas demais. gosto mto de The End, acho uma boa música pra dar fim na banda. lindo lindo lindo!!

Beatles slap, this album slaps, however d’angelo died today so he will get today’s spotlight x Voodoo gets 5/5 FTW
This is the best album ever made!
Also eher ne 4.8 aber eigentlich nichts zu meckern
4,5 - Bis auf einige wenige seltsame Experimente einfach ein grandioses Album, das ab sofort noch oft gehört wird. Highlights: Come Together, Something, Golden Slumber
A fantastic collection of songs. Those who argue otherwise are those same kids in school who confused obstinancy w coolness. That said (and who am I to argue with the genius of George Martin), the songs seems to be out of order...
Nice getting these actual great albums sprinkled into this list. Been quite a week of 1-2 star albums
Crazy how this was my first random pick, because I was literally just listening to it this morning. Abbey Road is one of those albums that’s just… perfect. Every time I hear it, it reminds me why I love music in the first place. There’s this weird mix of joy and sadness in it — like it’s both the end of something and the start of something else. And honestly, that last line still hits every single time: “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” Fav tracks: Something, Here Comes the Sun, oh! darling Vibe: warm, nostalgic, perfect for walking in the sun
Vinyl was created for this.
I’ll ignore Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. My favorite Beatles Album, with classics (Come Together, Here Comes the Sun) mixed in with a psychedelic rock trip of continuous music on the second half of the record that feels like one 15 minute track.
What an iconic album! I went through a phase where I’d get every Beatles album I could from the public library, so this is no doubt one I have explored previously. I did note a shift mid-way through though; ‘Come Together’ through ‘Because’ I knew like the back of my hand, but the second half of the album less so. Either way, an easy 5 stars for this band and one of their most popular albums.
maybe not my favorite beatles but cmon… it’s abbey road
Habe das Album an der Aare im Sonnenschein an einem schönen Herbst-Tag gehört, da hat here comes the sun gut gepasst. Und Because hat mich an meine Chorzeit erinneret. Insgesamt ein tolles Album!
This may have been my favorite Beatles record. Something, I want you, carry that weight are all awesome songs. Yes they have corny songs like the octopus song and a couple of others, but come together and others I can’t think of names are just awesome. Easy 5 stars.
Belle découverte des deux chansons de Ringo Starr et George Harrison
super
YES This is my favorite Beatles album
Pretty good band with a bright future. Well damn. Im historically a Beatles hater, because I find their fans annoying more so than their music, but not much to be annoyed by here.
I get to listen to Abbey Road today! Today is a good day! That's really all that needs to be said. Brilliant, Bizarre Beast of an album. 5
Great
My favorite album of all time
Perfection
Un excellent album ! Une excellente façon de clore le chapitre Beatles.
One of my absolute favorite Beatles albums. Really set McCartney and Lennon up well for solo careers.
I really like the Beatles I think there outside a really good band I knew a few of the songs on here and yeah.
I’ve heard of these guys. Will they stand the test of time?
Incredible genius of an album. Every song is a banger. Paul is the goat with putting together the medley. Still tear up when I hear golden slumbers.
Abbey Road is one of the best albums of all time, no debate. It's so good. Every song is good, and there are quite a few on this album. I cannot find anything bad to say about any song. Genuinely a perfect construction of music. Every single song is very well known, and iconic. Not one minute of downtime on this record. All the songs flow very nicely. 17 songs, some happy, some sad. Congrats Ringo on your octopus song, it's really good. The Beatles fucking cooked with this, good job. Easy 10/10, I love The Beatles so much.
I had only heard Come Together, Here Comes The Sun, and Golden Slumbers (as a cover in Sing). That's a shame cause this album is full of great tunes! Oops all bangers!
At the risk of sounding like a boomer/my dad, this album is the definition of a true classic. Absolutely iconic. Easy 5.
Obviously an all time classic
Love ❣️
It was great!
I mean it's the highest rated for a reason. I've had a lifelong love for this album, so incredibly catchy and it flows so beautifully ❤️
Classic
She's so Heeeeeeavvvveeeee
Yeah fucking absolutely mint, listened to it while playing Jenga. Maxwells silver hammer is fucking stupid, every other track is astounding. Can’t not give it 5
Absolute 10, though not my favorite Beatles album
Listens: Many (and I have this album on vinyl) Standout Tracks: Maxwell's Silver Hammer, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Here Comes The Sun, You Never Give Me Your Money, Mean Mr Mustard Well, It's finally happened. I've reached the most popular album according to the Global Stats of the List, 193 albums into the my journey. It's all down (or up?) hill from here! Abbey Road takes the number one spot for me as far as peak Beatles are concerned, slightly winning out over The Beatles (The White Album). I sometimes waver back and forth over which is better, but Abbey Road is a tighter production and is entirely more consumable. The White Album gets a little too weird for me on side 4. Anyways, this album is magical. Every track is unique and memorable. Maxwell committing multiple murders to a cheerful song is fantastic. The droning washed out sound that overtakes the music in I Want You (She's So Heavy) before the song abruptly cuts out is possibly my favorite vinyl flip in my collection. An then on side B, you have a 3x one minute songs in Mustard/Polythene Pam/She Came In Through The Bathroom Window that just meld together so well. And then finally, at The End, when you think its over, you have a hidden track with Her Majesty! It's both (supposedly) a first of its kind experience and a relic of a bygone era, where its practically impossible to have a true hidden track in the digital era. Side Tangent, I think my first experience with a hidden track was on Take Off Your Pants and Jacket by Blink 182.
I could write a whole review of how great the album is, but that won't be necessary. It's the Beatles at the height of their creative powers. Of course it's great, how else would it become as iconic as it is? It's not perfect, but it pretty fucking close.
Thé most perfect Beatles album
One of the greatest of all time.
Probably the best Beatles album, showing all their different personalities, romantic, energetic, funny, moving. Perfection
Classic Beatles album. There are some really iconic songs here and the whole thing is great as a whole. I don't really have a nostalgic connection to this since I didn't really listen to it as a kid but I can appreciate what a masterpiece it is now.
Once ground breaking, now comfort food. We know every word and chord change, but it still gives us the buzz that we got the first time we heard it. Music is magic, I suppose. It makes time travelers of us all.
Great album
I've been waiting for this one. First note, so cool that the cover has neither the band name or the album name on it. Yet, is so iconic! Anyway, here goes: For the 'last album', whether or not it was intended that way, it summarises the legacy the band left. There's a bit of everything in there. The singles/songs that frequently live on Greatest Hits albums are very strong. George Harrison offers up two of his best ('Something' and 'Here Comes the Sun'), Lennon's 'Come Together' is a timeless tune, and even Ringo offers up a worthy number (made better by an excellent underrated backing vocal section and fun guitar work). I have a lot of time for 'Oh! Darling', a real tune. I relistened to this album while ironing shirts and had a great singalong. Sadly, 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' doesn't quite hit the mark, and while slightly catchy, is boring granny music that I would rather people didn't know I listened through it. I think the best thing is that the instrumentation on all of these songs is so well thought out. McCartney chews the scenery on his bass, tastefully of course (with the exception of 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' - but did George play bass on that?), Harrison's at a peak soaring guitar solo, and the drum fills are iconic. Adding to this the Moog Synthesizer (a new product at the time!), and subtle, but powerful orchestration; it's an excellent vibe. My favourite, 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' is one of the best Beatles songs of all time. I still remember the day I bought this album and walking down Glenmore St to that epic outro! This was 2009. Listening to Blur a few years later, I understand it's impact (in more ways that one). But, what did I think of the 2nd half? The whole blended song thing? It's not my favourite, but it works. Yes, there are hits and misses. But if you got rid of 'You Never Give Me Your Money', you wouldn't have a great reprise in 'Golden Slumbers'. It's something you enjoy in a different way to the other half of the album. 'The End' is a nice way to go out, 3 guitar solos! 'Her Majesty' could have been left on the cutting room floor. 5 Stars.
A far more mature album from these dudes. You can see they've come through the 60s drug error and survived to tell the tale. The lyrics are far more interesting, though there is still fun such as Octapusus' Garden. Instrumentally, they are in top form, and I particularly enjoyed the drumming here. A great album from start to finish
Yes
Top 10 Album of all time.
What is there to say that hasn't already been said? This album is fucking phenomenal. It starts out really good but by the end when the songs blend into each other it's next level
#501 9.21.25 GOAT ★★★★★★★★★★
Had to be really
Better than Coldplay
Tenho um amor grande pelo Abbey Road!
Nice
I liked review that’s joking about everyone put their best work in this album, and Paul is, like, “BANG BANG MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER-“. And I like that a lot of people praising GM’s immence work — for kids, that have Garage Band in their phone, for 7-minute meddley of songs that connected to each other, them need to invent how, cause nobody even attempt to do this before. But, look, McCartney wrote “You Never Give Me Your Money” and “Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight”. When many greatest art and prog compositions, celebrated as a one of the best achievments in pop-music history, pointing to that pieces as inspiration, and you could (arguably, but a lot of music theorist agreed) tell that OG is still better in every way… it’s just on another level. If “White Album” called by many as mycelium of 70s pop-music (and by continuation, as a whole), than in my mind “Abbey Road” is a rootstock of GREATEST pop music, at least next 3 decades. From Bohemian Rhapsody to Paranoid Android, from Dark Side of the Moon to American Idiot — you could see proof throught history that dedication in execution of Fab 4 on their final record was contagious. It’s not just an inspiration. It’s a standart for “exceptional work”. And I love that this IS complete artistic package! This is their final work, it’s called by the name of an instrument, that they perfected using and showed the whole world how to use it. And on a cover, you see them all different, crossing the road FROM Abbey Road studios, that’s juxstuposing to their first work, where they look almost identical on one of the floors in that studio. They are done, they moving from Beatles, and Abbey Road (metaphorically). And when you rotate your vinyl, you can see that the last song is simply “The End”, where they leave simple epitaph for the Beatles (which underlined by a last joke — “Her Majesty”). Even the bag for vinyl, which is standart non-fancy EMI bag for me is a “Yeah, we are not trying to impress you. We just wanted to made masterpiece as a goodbye, so… you’re welcome”. It’s hard not to say that this is the best pop album of all time. Cause, to challenge it, you need to not only write songs on a THIS level, not only made a thoughtful combination of them (anyone who listened it on a vinyl knows what I’m talking about — the made changing sides a part of an album experience), but you need a context of “probably the best band in a world” making the last album, and do it in such an elegant manner (thanks EMI, you tried very hard to ruin it) in a concept AND execution. If it’s not perfection, it’s pretty damn close. No score, cause this is just on another fckng level.
The epitome of music. Might never be beaten. The medley will play throughout the universe when mankind takes its dying breaths.
It's the Beatles
A Masterpiece perfect album and it’s not even my favourite Beatles album songs on here that will last forever they are all at there best
I've been conflicted on this. I initially wanted to give it four stars, because Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Octopus' Garden are misfires and the back half of the album is definitely weaker than the first. But then I thought about the overall quality of the thing. Come Together, Something, Here Comes the Sun? And Oh Darling, I Want You, Carry That Weight? I've given out five star ratings for less since I started doing this. I think my initial instinct was to hold Abbey Road to a higher standard than the other records on this list, because it's The Beatles and because it's - according to the users of this site - the greatest of all time. But that isn't particularly fair. It probably isn't my favourite Beatles album, and it certainly isn't my favourite album on this list, but the songwriting here is frequently incredible and it is pretty stacked with excellent pop songs. Sometimes all time great ones. Five stars it is.
The best
I can not count the number of times I have listened to this album. I was raised on the Beatles and my favorite songs have evolved as I age. An Octipus's Garden and Maxwell's Silver Hammer were childhood favorites, while as an adult I have fallen in love with Carry that Weight and Goodbye. I would say the hardest part is picking your favorite. I am tempted to stop at this album for a few weeks and just consume it.
Greatest album of all time. You never give me no money has been my favourite song as long as i cam remember, it is constantly changing, never repeating. Its the perfect break between the two starkly different halves of the album.
I went into Abbey Road thinking I’d be clever and dock it a star because, honestly, the Beatles get enough praise to fill the Albert Hall twice over. But turns out… they earned it. I grew up on the Red and Blue compilations, so I never clocked how many absolute bangers were packed into this one album. The remastered mix (or maybe just my ears finally catching up) made the bass pop and all those little background flourishes (synths, harmonies, THAT baseline one Cone Together) shine without ever feeling cluttered. It’s gold all the way through: massive in scope, weirdly intimate, and still somehow cooler than it has any right to be.
I think in a lot of ways, the Beatles get by on this site on account of ... being the Beatles. I saw that this album had recently climbed to the #1 best-reviewed album on this entire project and was sort of bummed out. It felt so... predictable. And I wasn't blown away by some of their other albums like I had expected to be. Nope. This is just a fantastic album. One of the best side effects of this project is the number of times I've listened to a "classic" album straight through for the first time and thought, "so THAT is what all the fuss is about"
It's pretty much perfect but they didn't make any bad albums
Iconic and so very listenable still. Some of top tunes here - id give it 5 just for Something and Here Comes the Sun
Another album that doesn’t really need a review. Personally prefer Revolver, which I feel is more influential and interesting. That sad there is not a bad song on here, with some genuinely perfect songs (Something and Here Comes the Sun in particular). The first side is just filled with huge songs and the medley is amazing. Some of the songs are like 60-90 seconds yet feel like fully fledged songs. All of the Fab Four contribute and the culmination of the guitar solos from George, Paul and John with a Ringo drum solo in the End is masterful. Overhyped? I think so but it’s still one of the greatest albums ever made.
Incredibly had this on for first time in forever the day before we got it. Still listened to it again. Top tier
pretty good
superbe
An essential album for any music fan. It is one of the greatest albums, works of art, collaborative piece that has ever been made by mankind. A monumental achievement in every sense. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish.
Absolute classic. An epic farewell. Fav song: Sun King
This album is so good. I "inherited" my mom's mono vinyl and spent *hours* in the basement as a kid listening to this. It's a true classic and an album that plays so well as an *album*. Mean Mr Mustard -> Polythene Pam -> She Came In Through The Bathroom Window? *chefs kiss*
Takes me back to my first CD listening experiences. I listened to this album so much, and relistening now and listening in HI-FI headphones, I can't believe how good it is. Second half is probably my favourite — the way the tracks flow together—I always loved the Mean Mr. Mustard + Polythene Pam combo, but really Golden Slumbers + Carry that weight might be my fav combo.
Yeah my favourite Beatles album. Enough said!
Great
Es Abbey Road. Ni qué decir. Cinco estrellas que se quedan cortas.
A classic is a classic is a classic. These songs are so ubiquitous that it's hard to imagine someone actually wrote them and they were one released as an album, just like any other. But it's important to remember this, what an achievement.
Top 5 greatest album ever recorded
Nothing more needs to be said.
This is the greatest album ever pressed into vinyl! The second side is epic. It is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time, if not THE greatest band of all time. Sadly it was their last, but it was so good. An album for any occasion with massive hits.
And in the end….
I'm not sure what critics say is the best Beatles album, but this is definitely my personal favorite Beatles album. Not a track on here I feel compelled to skip and there is a window into a Beatles blues rock/pop album that I wish would have been made. Definitely my favorite album of the 20 or so albums I've listened to in this project thus far.
What to say about a masterpiece?... That this album is perfect! Everything on it works perfectly, so well linked and with so many flavors. It's one of the greatest albums ever made. That's it. And no one can make me think differently. It's perfect.
In the past ten days, I’ve gotten to review Thriller and Nevermind, and now Abbey Road. I was thinking that it would be cool if any of those albums would wind up being my final album to review, but here they are, all within fairly quick succession. However, this will be my final Beatles to review. Looking at the track list, I only know a few of these songs. I like The Beatles, but in a weird way, I feel a lot of pressure to really love Abbey Road, and I think a lot of that stems from the fact that I didn’t really love The White Album. I’m excited to listen to this though, and to close the book on The Beatles’ discography on this list. Abbey Road isn’t going to wind up as my favorite Beatles album, but it’s going to be at least top three. I know that Let It Be was their last release, but since this was their last recording, I’m going to say this was a fantastic way for these gents to go out. I loved that this was a much more straightforward rock album. Yes, “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” and “Octopus’s Garden” are whimsical and odd, but only lyrically. Every song on this album is really beautiful, and for an album that’s more straightforward and traditional in its sound, you get quite a bit of variety in the sound. Folk, blues, country, and pop all make an impression on the sound of this album, and each influence is used just the right amount. Some notes on individual songs: I went into this album with a hatred for “Come Together.” I had a strong dislike for the vocals and lyrics (I still don’t care for either one of those elements, but I certainly didn’t hate them on this listen), but the music here is amazing. This is one of the best bass lines I think I’ve ever heard. On top of that, the Rhodes piano contrasts with the bass really well, and I like the minimal lead and rhythm guitar. What an awesome rock sound. The chorus on "Something" is outstanding; I love the string arrangement so much. I think I've only ever heard the opening of this song before today, so I was really taken aback by the beauty in the sound. That increase in intensity halfway through was really unexpected, but it worked so well. "Oh! Darling" is fantastic. I loved the bluesy rock sound. The piano and drumming are fantastic. "Octopus's Garden" is weird lyrically, but musically, it's really quite down to earth and accessible. I loved the twang to the sound, and the main guitar riff is excellent. The piano is outstanding too; it’s got a ragtime sound to it that really elevates the whimsy of the lyrics. "I Want You" is excellent. Another song with some blues, and I love how the guitar sings along with the vocals. "Here Comes the Sun" is one of my favorite Beatles songs. It's just so much fun. The strings are great, and it’s a blast to sing along to. The bridge is amazing, and I loved the little bird whistling sounds. I loved the synthesizer on “Because.” It’s a bit out there in terms of its sound, but it’s also really grounded and accessible. "Sun King" is excellent. I loved how gentle the overall sound was, and it was a perfect way to go into the medley of the last seven songs. The medley is an outstanding closer to Abbey Road. I love how beautiful each song is, and even though the tracks are short, nothing felt rushed. “She Came In Through the Bathroom Window” and “Carry That Weight” were the best parts. I hate to be sappy and sentimental, but the closing of “The End” really hit me like a ton of bricks: ‘And in the end, The love you take, Is equal to the love you make.’ What an outstanding way to end an incredible album, and to essentially end The Beatles. I really enjoyed listening to Abbey Road, and it’s an album I will undoubtedly listen to again.
Classic Beatles album
Always excellent!
Of course a classic. Not my favorite Beatles album but it's undeniably great.
one of the best ever obv
How would we ever make it through this dingy life without the Beatles? It would really suck, my friends.
Best album ever. Feels impossible to say anything new/worthwhile about this. 22nd perfect album, 793 albums in. Rating: 5.0
Certified classic
classic
Favorites (nearly the whole album): Come Together Something Maxwell's Silver Hammer (only because there are creepy lyrics in very jolly tones) Octopus's Garden Here Comes The Sun You Never Give Me Your Money Sun King (cicada's sounds!) She Came In Through The Bathroom Window Golden Slumbers Carry That Weight The End Her Majesty The album of zany characters and natural loves. It feels like the quintessential Beatles (before the split). Definitely iconic.
I'm not sure if Abbey Road needs another positive review. But here it is: Abbey Road shows the Beatles at their best, with great songs (“Come Together,” “Octopus's Garden,” “Here Comes the Sun”) and their distinctive humor (“Polythene Pam,” “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window”). Undoubtedly a must-have.
There is reasons this is often held up as the standard
Yeah dude. These cunts are pretty good. Coming in bathroom windows and over everything else. Abby’s choad is great record
Super fan de este disco, mi disco favorito.
Possibly the best Beatles record of them all. The entire second side is maybe the best side of a record that has ever been produced. Every member really gets a chance to shine on this album.
Que des bangers, je change et danse tout du long 👌
Incredible album, almost didnt get a 5 because of Octopus's Gardem sorry not sorry Ringo.
honestly the only beatles album I really get the hype for. this one is pretty masterfully done, if only they did more like this.
I don't know if it was due to the platform I was streaming on, but the transitions on some of the songs were very good. Good Songs: Come Together, Her Majesty, Something, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Oh Darling!, Octopus's Garden, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Here Comes The Sun, Because, You Never Give Me Your Money, Mean Mr. Mustard, Polythene Pam, She Came In Through the Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, The End Mid Songs: Sun King Bad Songs: None
I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said. Is this the best Beatles album? Probably, although I think I like the White album more. Is this the best album of all time? Maybe? The medley doesn't quite work for me, but the rest of the album is flawless. I think it's the best I've heard so far, but I still have 900+ albums to go.
i like the beatles not because they’re a stupid classic, but because it’s just an awesome fucking record and they’re the most influential band in the history
Beautiful
One of the best albums of all time
Easily my favorite Beatles album.
“Abbey Road” was released **only** 6 1/2 years after the Beatles’ first album “Please Please Me.” Listen to these two bookends to quickly confirm the greatness that was - and IS - the Beatles. How did they get from there to here? How did they invent, reinvent, and reinvent themselves and the culture of music so dramatically and so successfully over such a short span of time?? Their nine studio albums are all remarkable achievements, and for so many different reasons. Abbey Road is not their most innovative: that would arguably be “Revolver” or “Sgt Pepper.” But Abbey Road probably ties with “Revolver,” and maybe the White Album, as the album that best showcases the INDIVIDUAL talents of each Beatle. George has 2-3 excellent offerings on each album. And of course Paul, John. What about Ringo? Arguably his best. I’m basing that on the percussion in “Come Together,””Something,” and his contributions to “The End.” And. If this album just feels too familiar, let your ears focus on something new. Pay attention, for example, to the percussion or bass line. There is always something hidden to enjoy. How did they do it? Even the playful guitar work in the left speaker of “Octopus’s Garden” makes a kids’ song or a drug song (hard to tell them apart in the 60s) into something newly engaging. Oh, and what about “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.” Well, where would Warren Zevon’s “Excitable Boy” be without this song? Truthfully, I don’t know how to judge the song fairly since I’ve listened to this album with growing enjoyment for 45 years of my life…. but if nothing else, it showcases how the Beatles can pull off even something goofy and creepy and troublesome all at once. 500/5
In the final moments of their existence, as it was ending, The Beatles find a way to move the bar forward. In the wake of the monumental implosion during the Get Back sessions, the Beatles return to Abbey Road with George Martin to truly get back to what the Beatles do best, make great albums. George turns out two fantastic songs, and John and Paul battle it out with an amazing tour de force 2nd side culminating in the easily prophetic and appropriate guitar solo battle royal that punctuates the end of the most accomplished run in rock & roll history. Each member’s prominent gifts on glorious display as the curtain comes down. It is a remarkable achievement. To miss it, or to rate this less than a five star album is a reflection of one’s lack of comprehension of the meteoric trajectory of the Beatles and how they were brilliant from beginning to end. Bravo lads! The best 6 and half years of music ever!
I sure do love this album. Is it the most popular album of all time? Idk maybe, probably close to it. Every other track is an iconic song.
Great album. A classic by all regards. The ultimate state of flow in songwriting with the Sun King medley.
You can almost never go wrong with!
Such creativity in the compositions, and it sounds like they had a of fun.
perfecto
Just doesn't get better than this...
Not the best band of all time, not the best album of all time, but very good still
Duh
Lovely piece of work
Its an iconic album for a reason. I love the Beatles always have always will and these songs are historic and deserve their title
England was quizzical, in matters physical they were in their prime Surely this would be their time to shiii- i-i-ine Gareth their manager, majoring in mediocrity tells them not to attack Cos in football you never give the ball a whack-ack-ack-ack But as you’re expecting Bellingham to score, Southgate undelivers us once more Bang bang Southgate’s boring game plan came apart once again Bang bang Southgate’s boring game plan wasted another generation of men
Lo avevo già sentito, bomba assoluta. Nella prima parte sono presenti solo hit ascoltate ancora oggi, nella seconda invece c'è più spazio per la sperimentazione. La mia preferita rimane Carry that weight. Ho notato anche che le transizioni tra un pezzo e l'altro sono fatte di cristo
Seriously?!? Is there any question here? Anyone giving this less than 4 stars can really just shut the fuck up.
Timeless. Not much more needs to be said.
Classic.
Absolutely classic. Duh. (And I love Silly!Paul, so I even love Maxwell's Silver Hammer. You go with that anvil, Mal Evans.)
Almost as good as the Best of the Beatles.
Not in my top 3 Beatles albums but still a comfortable 5
I'm not 100% sure it's my favourite Beatles album but it's very close
Den kender jeg. Helt klart klassiker.
It's a cliche but I love the Beatles. This is an album of 2 halves and I enjoyed both. Come Together, Something and Here Comes The Sun get 5 stars just for them.
Easy 5 stars
No brainer
Awesome Love waxwells silver hammer.
First time listening to it, I didn’t really jive with this album. As far as Beatles projects go, Rubber Soul is probably favorite. That said, Abbey Road has gotten better every time I re-listen to it.
Superb album. One of my all time favourites.
This is a big one, yet I've only heard the singles prior to today. The penultimate Beatles album and technically the last album recorded by the group, "Abbey Road" saw the Beatles go back to their old production process, allowing longtime producer George Martin to have more of a fingerprint here. Per usual, each member has at least one of their own songs, with Lennon & McCartney taking up most of the efforts. But I think Harrison's efforts shine the most here ("Something", "Here Comes the Sun"). The whole medley that essentially ends side two also reminded me a bit of "older" Beatles works, with their short and quirky nature and the fact that the entire group is able to showcase their instrumental abilities throughout. I don't know if this is my "favorite" Beatles album, but it was expertly produced and captured the group's last "hurrah" well. No overproduction or bravado, just the Beatles doing what they do best.
The album that showed me the Beatles were “I want to hold your hand.” Yeah you won’t find too many “hits” off this but it’s a perfect album.
Hey these guys are pretty good
Not a skip in sight. I love the consistent inclusion of the "ooooo!"s in oh darling
Great album, of course have listened to it dozens or hundreds or times.
Just a 5. For obvious reasons. 5!!
Absolute peak. Really iconic album with a very consistent tracklist without a dull moment. Especially the medley is great 9/10 Favourite: I Want You (She's So Heavy( Least Favourite: None

What can I say about Abbey Road? It's one of the Beatles finest albums. It's filled with some of the best music they ever recorded and also Maxwell's Silver Hammer is there. Joking aside, the B side medley is legendary and created a high that many, including the beatles themselves I later post breakups solo albums couldn't hit again.
Absolutely one of the most perfect albums of all time. I just about know every second of it by heart. Listen Zoe, I know you’re not a fellow Beatles girlie, I know you hardly know your George from your Ringo, I know their films aren’t your ‘comfort watches’ that you basically put on any time you’re sick, I know you haven’t read a billion biographies about each member (and even more deeply researched speculative articles about who was in love with each other when), you’ve never had pictures of them on your walls, or cried seeing Paul live or anything, but by god I hope you can recognise how good this is! So much variety is at play, letting each Beatle shine on his own songs as well as together, through silly moments (for example, the lore is that everyone bloody hated Maxwell’s Silver Hammer but Paul was obsessed with it and insisted on including it anyway) and serious (I mean, Something alone has gotta be some of the most beautiful music ever recorded). That end run of Golden Slumbers into Carry That Weight into The End is an unbelievable masterpiece to me, I could listen to the way it flows forever! Delicious. And even the previous run from Sun King to She Came In too! I love the linkages and the little bits of story that kind of get reprised here and there. Like I said, I just think this is a perfect album and I never get sick of it.
I always say I don’t like The Beatles to annoy my husband as it gets him really riled up. Abbey Road is undoubtedly a great album, full of hits that everyone loves and lesser listened to songs that are still great. I don’t really hear any filler songs and and there is such a mix of sounds, styles and subjects.
It is peak, I guess
Best Song: Something This is tied with Fleetwood Mac as the highest rated album on the 1001. Will I go against that grain? Of course not. This album is as close to perfect as you can get, especially for the time. The production, experimentation, song writing, just everything is fantastic. 5/5.
In my opinion, this is better than Revolver, better than Sgt. Pepper's (although it's close), and better than the White Album. Peak Beatles.
An all time fave ever since I was 15 or 16.
The whole album is great, but Something might just be the greatest love song ever written. Come Together is a cool start, Octopus's Garden doesn't deserve the hate it gets, I Want You (She's So Heavy) rocks harder than it should, Here Comes The Sun always cheers me up, Because is an interesting trance of a song, fantastic album. The difference between this and a lot of other experimental songs/albums is that underneath the experimental stuff, the Beatles still wrote great songs. A lot of experimental albums try stuff just to try stuff without having good songs to go with it.
Oh this is my all time favorite Beatles album! It has so many songs that made .y childhood and made me love the Beatles! This is a classic album from start to finish!
I have always been a Beatles fan (born and raised!) but I haven't listened to an album in full for ages, so this was lovely to listen to again.
This is my favorite Beatles album
Ome of the best albums of all time. Classic
Peak beatles, great songs front to back

There's nothing new to be said. I love The Beatles. I love this album. I really enjoy the 2019 mix.
A classic
5, duh.
Let's start off with the ICONIC album photo. One of these days I'll make it to Abbey Road and see the crossroad 🤞🏻 Come Together is an amazing song, what a way to open an album! Lots of classic songs on this album. I'll be here all day if I talk about them all. Catchy stuff 5 ⭐️
Love love love the Beatles although my fav is rubber soul.
Abbey 5
I smiled like a Cheshire cat when I saw what todays album is. "Come Together" is iconic, "Something" is beautiful, "Here Comes the Sun" is stunning. They truly went out on top with this album. I love "Golden Slumbers" gets me in the feels every time. The oddest song on the album is "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" - Harrison recalled: "Sometimes Paul would make us do these really fruity songs. I mean, my God, 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' was so fruity." He's right. The Medley on Side 2 - has everything and I even heard the Alabama Shakes Hold On riff in "Sun King". 5/5.
I grew up on the Beatles, I took the blue album to my first school disco on C90 (Monster Mash on side B - it was Halloween), my French horn teacher was one of their session musicians and that was the coolest thing ever. This album amongst others from them introduced me to so many different genres of music. So much to say about Abbey Road and I don’t know what I could add to anything that’s already been written. Oh! Darling Is the best track as far as I’m concerned and I’m sorry Lennon fans but I don’t think he could’ve sung it better than McCartney. Lennon was wrong. Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight are next up for me, I wish they could’ve been longer tracks but they’re blended perfectly in the medley. I Want You (She’s So Heavy) is such a full on end to side A, you have to leave a break before Here Comes the Sun to really appreciate how the two sides of the record are sequenced. This album at times feels a little disjointed but I think that’s okay, it’s reflective of where the band were at the time and every track still feels like the Beatles. Even Ringo’s bizarre offerings. I'm giving this a 5 because I think it's important, it's ahead of its time and it stands out compared to a lot of the music that was also around at the time. Plus the production is fantastic.
It’s Abbey Road. What more do you need to say? I don’t think it’s their top-to-bottom strongest album, but there’s a gleeful ‘throw everything at the wall’ energy I really love. I’ve even grown to appreciate Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.
Beatles. Abbey Road. Need I say more?
One of the greats
What else do you want me to say?
Vreemd genoeg nooit helemaal beluisterd, easy 5 sterren.
Theres a reason they are the best and Abbey Road exemplified why. I dont even have to speak for this album. Favorite Songs: Come Together, Something, I Want You, Carry That Weight
A classic.
A quintessential “perfect album!” Classic record, one of my favorite, if not favorite Beatles album. Something and Come Together, I want you, Here Comes The Sun are bonafide classics. Side B, while I don't really love any of the big long song individually, as a whole it's super cohesive and fun, they flow very well. Really nail what they were trying to channel on Sgt. Pepper‘s. 5+⭐️
A classic. One of my favourite Beatles albums by a stretch. I think I even like Maxwells Silver Hammer. Maybe…
