Abbey Road

Some very sharp song endings. Not entirely my kind of music

No me mató, de vez en cuando está bueno volver a los Beatles pero no es mi disco fav

All time classic. I’ve never listened to it all the way through and can see how inspirational this album has been on so much that came afterwards. Saved 9 songs. Will definitely be re-listening

It's the most iconic album cover of all time for a reason. The Beatles at their most Beatle-ish. 10/10, 5/5, 100/100 it is probably THE album to hear before you die (at least for Western popular music). Everybody rocks and there are some real jams on here.

Is Octopus's Garden the best Beatles song ever created? Probably not, because that bridge is not that great. But you can't not like an album with Octopus's Garden on it.

A true classic!

Just a week ago i did the cheeky tourist pic on the crosswalk! Wonderful album!

Paul McCartney forgot to wear his shoes. Unprepared and unprofessional. Bad album.

Solid Beatles.

I understand it now. I think I’ve always been irrationally afraid of sitting down and listening to a Beatles album in full in case I ruin music because everything else doesn’t live up to it. But I think it makes me appreciate music even more. My only problem (albeit small) was some of the songs on the back end of the record were too short :( must cop on vinyl - no re-releases obviously, it deserves to be purchased.

I don’t know what it is about The Beatles, but I find it so hard to listen to an album straight through. My working theory is that their songs are so varied and complex that they’re overstimulating and I need a break. (This at least being true of their later stuff, not the simplistic early stuff.) Me: I don’t like some of these tracks. Also me: playing “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” back in my head the next day. And so, I started listening to this as a contrarian wanting to give it a 3; realizing “ok, this may not be overhyped” and deserves at least a 4; and recognizing by the end that this really is as good as people make it out to be. Each track is a journey in and of itself, but especially in the second half it feels perfectly assembled. Maybe I finally understand The Beatles. The becomes my 14th 5/5 through 150 albums.

Listened hundreds of times

Never a huge fan of the Beatles, it's a good album. Not sure why I don't like them, think it's the spam songs approach they took with their writing, it doesn't have the depth that grows on you

classic album, goeie goeie bangers.

UM classico

Classic album, lots of beloved tracks. Not my personal favorite of the Beatles catalogue, but it's hard to deny how good it is from a song-writing and production standpoint, and "not my favorite" when it comes to the Beatles usually still means a 5 star album.

Me ha sorprendido gratamente y entiendo perfectamente el delirio colectivo de la gente esos años. Adelantados a su tiempo.

Conocía algunas canciones. Octupos garden esta infravalorada, gran canción Las de harrison estan bien

Absolute perfection.

loving it since early childhood memories

John Lennon is doing the most interesting songs here but they don't always click for me, and then George and Paul are writing great songs, but not as interesting as earlier stuff. Still they are great songs, especially the medley is an awesome way to out. I love the Beatles, I can't give 4.5, so 5

Perfection

What is there to possibly even say about Abbey Road that hasn't been said? Absolute juggernaut album. Every individual song is an instant classic, and ending out with a medley of sketched out ideas that stay interesting all the way through was a genius move. You could listen to this 100 times and still be engrossed in it the whole way through.

its the beatles

Har definitivt några classics - Come Together & Here Comes the Sun, dem gillar jag verkligen. Beatles har aldrig riktigt varit ett band jag har lyssnat på så mycket bortsett från deras största låtar. Maxwell's silver hammer var kul på sätt att de skriver om mörka grejer men maskerar det med en glad och rolig melodi. The Beatles har alltid unpredictable harmoni vilket är kul och lyssna på, det blir en resa på det sättet. Tackar inte nej till vocal harmonies heller. Basen gör mycket walking-grejer och pianot hamnar på off beats och åttondelar. I want you (shes so heavy) hade väldigt najs öppning, lite mer ifrån deras original sound, mer bluesrock. Bortsett från de andra låtarna tycker jag den här är då mest intressant kompositions- och ljudmässigt. ah hell yeah. Den hade varit cool att göra i ett ensembleformat, mycket blandning och saker som händer på 7:47 minuter "Because" härliga stämmor med arpeggios på gitarr och synten tror jag. You never give me money, blev lite boogie woogie/blues, trodde inte den skulle gå dit haha. Sen lite spanska också, okej XD Najs transition mellan track 12 och 13, smooth. Första albumet av Beatles, okej okej okej. 7/10

É um album icónico, já o tinha ouvido antes e é dos melhores de sempre

Owned. A really strong album

I’m on vacation so can’t get into. Great record.

We Boomers born in the mid 60's are just a bit too young to have bought and listened to Beatles albums at the time of release and just a bit too old to have been brainwashed by their "legend" aura. During my teen/twenties years of being heavily influenced by music they were always a has-been band with some good songs. My only exposure to them was the endless radio play and wedding djs. So it's been nice to listen to Beatles albums as they were intended, and to place the 'famous' tracks into their original setting. Of the tracks I've never heard before... - I Want You : What? An 8 minute prog epic? By The Beatles? Wow. Superb. - Because: A nice gentle ballad. Hated the synth bit though. - The "Medley". I had no idea that this existed. I did know Golden Slumbers and Carry That Weight, but the whole medley end to end is wonderful. - Oh Darling: Oh. Sadly it's just formulaic blues shite. It really could be anyone. Absolutely nothing special and a real disappointment. But the only one on the album. Of the tracks I knew (i.e. the rest) - just Beatles classics. I suppose I'll never know what I would think of them if I heard them for the first time because they are just ingrained. Which is probably why they are legends. Conclusion: Not perfect. Oh Darling sucks. Because could be better. Its a 4½, but because it's the Beatles...

Like all Beatles albums, couple of classics but mostly, just…fine. It’s fine.

When I was 16, 3 years ago. I was sitting in my then girlfriends room while she was showing me her record collection. I quite frankly didn't really care since I wasn't interested in music much. She shows me this album which I recognise, since 4 distinct looking men were crossing the street but I couldn't name it. She asked me for the name, and I struggled. But I thought it had something to do with a lane, or way, or road. But after a few minutes of guessing london lane and similar guesses, she cut my off. She told me it was called Abbey Road, and I remembered hearing that name before. Two years passed and since we have broken up. I'm listening to a spotify jam with friends, when someone puts on "I want you (she's so heavy"). I was big into grunge/metal/prog at the time and were suprised the beatles made that song. So at home I listened to the album, and didn't really care at first, but I craved a second listen after a while. And after that second listen I fell in love with the album. Another year has passed, and I have to listen to Revolver because of this app. At first, I don't get it. But after another week I started craving it. And then I wanted to listen to other Beatles albums. 3 months has passed and I absolutely adore them, having listened to every album now, I think my favourite is either this or "With the Beatles". So an absolutely deserved 5/5 for me.

Abbey Road will never be the greatest album of all time because 30% of the songs are bad. As with the white album, the highs are as high as can be. Some of the greatest songs ever written. But these ratings aren't for the best song on an album it's for all 17(!) tracks

- As I mentioned before, I used to listen to the Beatles a lot, but I don’t anymore now that I know that John engaged in DV and Paul is a Zionist. - I know this album is lauded, but it's not my favourite Beatles by any stretch. - It has compelling guitar riffs, orchestral strings, and keys, and the bass is consistently good. - There are some absolutely classic songs on here (e.g., Come Together, Something, Here Comes The Sun, Golden Slumbers... I'd put Oh! Darling on that list, too). - That said, I always would skip the rest of the tracks. - On side 1, Maxwell's Silver Hammer & Octopus's Garden are pretty hokey. I Want You (She's So Heavy) goes on way too long, but the guitar and bass work is good on it. - Other than Here Comes The Sun and Golden Slumbers, I never play side 2 - I find the medley either dull or more of the same hokeyness (e.g., Mean Mr. Mustard, Polythene Pam, Carry That Weight). Yeah, the songs connect together well, but I don't connect with any of them. They all needed more work to give them more space and interest.

Okay, okay, okay. I know. It's Abbey Road, its the cover, its the famous one, lets get all that out of the way. Yes it has octobus and maxwell and all these others, but its got some clunkers in the back end, its a little disparate, and it's not the best of their albums. Great but not the best.

имбулечка вкусная

Has my favorite Beatles song, Golden Slumbers, as well as a few classics and songs that changed the music scene.

4 Listened to this album a lot. Always go back to I want you so bad. I love it and despite it being 7:47 long, I don’t want it to end. Number tracks:17 Fave track: 6: I want you (She’s so heavy) Others: 8: Because 16/02/26

BANGER BANGER BANGER

Back to back Beatles, sj ne morš verjet! Ok, "Come Together" je kr lep začetek albuma. In spet hudomušno zveneč komad z najbl sinister besedilom ("Maxwell's Silver Hammer"). "Oh! Darling" mi je en ljubših komadov na sploh. (Ta album sm tokrat poslušala, da na pamet vem, kako si sledijo komadi.) Na splošno, k McCartney poje tko, da se dere - I fuckin love it. Tud pol na albumu Ram. Delivera the emotion. Medtem k Ringotovi komadi mi pa niso tok pri srcu. Čeprav, ok, zj on a relisten, ni tok bad "Octopus's Garden". Razen, da mu sledi the best fucking song on the album?! "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" je lyrically minimalističen, a v vsem drugem izjemen. Ufff. Ta je bil kako leto v poznih najstniških letih na repeat, zraven pa safr zaradi neuresničene ljubezni. Bahaha. Ampak ja, what a song. Naslednja polovica albuma je pa men neki najbl masterfully made, da my words won't make it justice. "Here Comes the Sun" tok dobr sledi temu abruptnemu koncu. Drgač pa fak, kako si sledijo komadi, celoten medley je tok hud - ampak men najljubše sosledje ever je pa: "Golden Slumbers", "Carry That Weight" in "The End". Spet, tokrat poslušano, da noro. (O moj bog, pozabla sm, kok je "Sun King" dober!) "Her Majesty" je pa sam nek hilarious cherry on top. Fak, takoj grem še enkrat poslušat.

As someone who is more of a fan of the Please Please Me Era of the Beatles, this is just a 3 for me.

3.63

Good album!

The hits are incredible no doubt, and the closing suite of songs is awesome; but boy does this have some duds for something so regarded as a classic.

The most shocking thing is that this album is even better than its hyped up to be. Every Beatle was firing on all cylinders here, despite the unbridled tensions between the group. John gives us a classic in Come Together and a heavy, proggish masterpiece in I Want You, Paul puts together the incredible medley that makes up almost the entire second half of the album AND Maxwell's Silver Hammer which is a banger FUCK the haters, George proves himself as a songwriter on par with both Paul and John with Something and Here Comes The Sun, inarguably two of the greatest Beatles songs ever released, and even fucking Ringo provides an original with Octopus' Garden, and it's fantastic! It's not the most complex piece but it is consistently one of my favourite moments on the record. Plus he has a drum solo on The End, which is completely unheard of and I love it. Marry it all with the incredible production work of George Martin and you have this masterpiece of an album, which is even greater than the sum of its parts. Bonus points for the album cover, arguably the most iconic piece of album art bar maybe Dark Side of The Moon Fav Track: 6: I Want You (She's So Heavy) Best Three Track Run: 14, 15, 16

Finally we're here, the album that invented literally every genre of music. The band that every single artist, living or dead, got 110% of their inspiration from. The objectively best album of the past, present, and future. And four songs in I really have to say... ...it's kinda mid tbh. Damn Her Majesty really tied the whole album together

I would like to listen to this album in an octopus’ garden in the shade. Also Sun King is cool. Also I love the part where the horns come in on Carry That Weight. I wish Her Majesty was longer.

maybe my fav beatles album <3

Yes. The beetles. I had my fix when I was 17/18. I'm ok forever now.

Ik snap nu waarom de Beatles een van de beste bands ter wereld is

Say what you want about The Beatles, but it’s undeniable that Abbey Road is an absolute industry-changing musical masterpiece. I had never listened to the whole album before and had I known the journey each song takes you on I would have. The different sounds and usage of all sorts of elements is an absolute treat to hear in this day and age where it seems like artists are trying to be as “safe” as possible with music. I love the ballsiness of the songs on this album. I love how there’s super playful goofy songs, and super heart tugging melancholic songs. The lyrics are so actually funny in certain songs which I really appreciate and find rare in music. The first time I heard music by The Beatles and some songs from this album was from the movie Across The Universe (a drama/romance/musical) which is one of my all time favorite films. I was about 6 years old and somehow it felt like I understood what love was just from the sound of the music. For a 6 year old to feel that is a testament to how authentic and soulful their music is. I recommend this film to anyone who likes The Beatles’ music. The covers are extremely well done. Anyways I don’t have shortage of good things to say about this album but I’ll stop there. 5 stars.

Not quite my forte

Holds up. So familiar but all the songs are good.

1. Come Together-Lives up to its reputation, peak bass line, drums and guitar. Lyrics are in their most psychedelic glory. I do really mean it when I say Lennon>Mccartney 8.7/10 2. Something-This is where George cemented his status as the best songwriter in the Beatles(even if John and Paul didnt recognise this) beautiful song with some heavenly guitar and vocals 9.2/10 3. Maxwell’s Silver Hammer-Paul what the fuck is this, no, just no. 5/10 4. Oh Darling-This is how Paul redeemed himself for the travesty that was Maxwell. I think John could have sung it better but Paul did an excellent job. Definitely one of the better songs not just on this album but on The Beatles entire discography. 8.5/10 5. Octopus Garden-Ringo being Ringo, i love it. Sometimes it’s needed to take a little break and sing an upbeat song about octopuses. But I would add that it may be silly, but still unironically a banger 9/10 6. I want you(she’s so heavy)-Enthralling, I just couldn’t stop listening. One of the longest Beatles songs(behind Hey Jude and Revolution 9) and unlike those other two it earns every second 8.3/10 7. Here Comes The Sun-Harrison is the goat, this song is The Beatles 9.5/10 8. Because-Heavenly, transcendent, what more can I say. Whenever I listen to this is feels like I'm being elevated to a higher sense of consciousness 8.5/10 9. You never give me your money- Kicks off the Long One and starts it with a bang. The guitar solo is amazing 8.6/10 10. Sun King-Very similar to Because but just does everything very slightly worse. Still good tho 8.2/10 11. Mean Mr Mustard-Fine, but seems out of place in this album 7.7/10 12. Polythene Pam- Same as Mean Mr Mustard 7.7/10 13. She came in through the Bathroom Window-Solid track, by no means a standout but it’s good. I never listen to it when I’m not listening to the album as a whole 8.0/10 14. Golden Slumbers-One of the best on the album, absolutely heavenly, ascending. I can’t put it into words 9.2/10 15. Carry That Weight-Amazing transition from Golden Slumbers into this. And good harmonies from the Beatles(but if there is one thing they can do it’s harmonise). 8.4/10 16. The End-Perfect end to the Beatles discography. Basically a whole band jam session and it’s really fun. 8.9/10 17. Her Majesty-This song is fine but it takes away from the ending in The End and is just too short. Should have been kept off the album and just released in the deluxe version in the anthology or something. 7.9/10

9/10, asik lah

It’s weird I just got my first Beatles album here. Anyway yeah sure you have to hear Abbey Road before you die. Not even sure how to review this, I mean everybody knows about this album. There’s a debate to whether this is considered the last Beatles album, but it’s definitely the last great Beatles album. This album really shows the Fab Four in their creative peak. You have studio magic, you have timeless songwriting (the George songs!), you have originality and experimentation, and across it all you just have a bunch of really good songs. I mean this album is so strong that great songs like Golden Slumbers or You Never Give Me Your Money are not even highlights. Yeah we have the fights about Maxwell’s Silver Hammer or the medley but they’re all amazing come on. One of the best pieces of music ever recorded, five stars. To be fair, I like mid career Beatles better, but this is also perfect. Favorite song: Because.

comunque tra le varie cose mi piace molto che all fine ci sia golden slumbers seguita da carry that weight, dove la prima mi fa pensare ai sogni sereni che fanno i bambini e la seconda al peso che devi imparare a portare quando cresci da adulto, e in sintesi c’è poi “the love that you take is equal to the love that you make” (the end). non penso che questa successione sia stata pensata per questo, però è un bel finale

Album incredibile, tra i 10 migliori dischi di sempre e forse non é nemmeno il mio preferito dei beatles. Mi piace troppo e poi il medley che inizia con you never give me your money è perfetto

5 stelle ma non è il loro miglior album

Oh, I was not expecting to get this album so soon. I was hoping to get it towards the end of my journey through the albums in the books, but beggars can't be choosers. Anyways... Abbey Road is an album that I'm probably gonna struggle to contextualize in my own way. What new insight could I possibly give to an album that, as of the time of writing this review, is sitting in the top three albums over on the Global Stats page, sandwiched between Rumours and Dark Side of the Moon? I expressed similar difficulties when reviewing Dark Side before. As for Rumours, I acknowledged that the record could be considered overrated while still addressing why I enjoyed it. Both those sentiments are true with Abbey Road as well, with how prolific the songs, George Martin's production, the album artwork, and every other tidbit surrounding it have maintained this enduring legacy. Hell, Billy Preston got a lot of notoriety for his Hammond organ playing on "Something" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". There's not much about this record that hasn't been covered extensively over five-and-a-half decades at this point, so I'm going to simply state that yes, this album is worth all the hype. I know an album is good when I find myself singing along and air jamming to every single track, from the opening notes of "Come Together" to even the goofy little coda of "Her Majesty". It's genuinely amazing how the band tiptoed the line between serious and silly lyrical tones on this record. One second, I'm deep into the crescendoing white noise of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", the next I'm welcomed into the warm, jovial folk-pop of "Here Comes the Sun". No better is this tide of shifting moods and compositions more apparent than the 16-minute medley from "You Never Give Me Your Money" to "The End", near-cinematic in execution. All along the way, every note and vocal line was played and captured with such pristine quality, full of memorable hooks and solos that still feel fun to listen to all these years later. I could go on, but the point is clear that I enjoyed Abbey Road all the way through. Even if this isn't the last album because Let It Be exists, it does feel like one of the last times that the Beatles overcame their own personal conflicts with each other to make something truly magical.

I always thought the Beatles were overrated but I have been proven wrong. The sound is very consistent, every song on it is good. CLASSIC

Hit or miss songs with me, but the good was good. Album composition and flow was excellent which bumps it up for me.

Very classic. My dad listened to this all the time when I was a kid. As an adult I was never a Beatles guy, but actually it's kind of cool, especially when taken as a whole album. It goes to a lot of strange and fascinating places. It was certainly groundbreaking for its day. The playing and vocals are all very solid, if not virtuosic. My favorite song is I Want You (She's So Heavy). Awesome riffs and grooves, spirals out in the end, until abrupt nothingness. super cool. Everyone wants to sing along with Here Comes the Sun. Come Together has a great grove and is a brilliant want to start the album. Quite a few other well-known Beatles songs here.

Fantastiskt album. Dels Georges låtar. Och Pauls + Johns och även för de roliga 2-min-låtarna i slutet (B-sidan).

Obviously a amazing albums I love Paul's vocals on this album especially on Oh! Darling and golden slumbers Best-Golden slumbers I loves the anthology of Pam and her polythene and how it was sung very scousley caught me off guard Golden slumber to carry that weight was actually the perfect transition omg 5/5

One of my all time favorites!

Obviously one of my faves

College friend Zach loved the Beatles and I credit him for getting me into them. The first time I listened to abbey road (on vinyl) start to finish was in Zach's dorm room, a little bit high, with a good set of headphones. Uww circa 1993. It was a five star then and a five star now. Thanks friend!

Maybe not quite the consistent brilliance of their earlier stuff but still fab. And I so nearly gave it a 4 but then I came to the medley, culminating in The End, and obviously I couldn't do it. Goosebumps.

Imagine getting to the grand old age of 32 without ever listening to the most famous album of all time. And then turns out it's a 5 out of 5.

Not gonna bother writing about how good this album is

Whereas the White album felt like four artists running away from each other in wildly creative but disjointed directions, this album, while still being wildly eclectic, feels entirely cohesive and deliberate. Each of the Beatles, individuality, is on full display, but this time they feel fully supported by the others (and George Martin). This is the Beatles making the absolute most of their final time together. And, it doesn't hurt that it's the album in which George Harrison fully arrives as a song writing equal to Paul and John. His two tracks are just as good as anything the Beatles ever did. Can we talk about Paul's bass on Something? It's insane. It's like he's trying to take over the song, like he doesn't trust that George's subtle medley is enough, so he squeezes all the melody possible out of that bass. Whatever his reason, the resulting contrast between the vocal and bass melodies creates one of the most amazing duets in history. Counter to counter melodies, how about the harmonies in Becuase? The completely opposite. This Boy, Yes is Is and Becuase are the Beatles at their Beach Boys finest. Even Ringo's contribution on this album is solid (though the Get Back documentary makes it clear that Harrison had a big hand in making that song work). Maxwell's Silver Hammer gets shit on for being hokey, and that's certainly true, but its juxtaposition of being cute mixed with the fact that it's about a serial killer certainly sticks with you. It's demented and visual and bizarre story telling. Oh, Darling and She's So Heavy are both songs that could have been throw away repetitive jams, but they both develop and build so incredibly well, that you don't want them to end. They find so many different levels within the same phrases. Especially She's So Heavy. You keep thinking that it couldn't possible have anything else to show you, then it just keeps surprising you. Then of course there is the medley. It's clearly just a bunch of little songs that John and Paul didn't get around to finishing, strung together in a medley of leftovers. You rarely hear people point to any of the individual songs in the medley as their favorite Beatles song (argument for Golden Slumbers) but collectively is a musical feast and t's a perfect metaphor for the Beatles themselves. Better together.

Imagine, if you will, a world where ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’ doesn’t exist and Abbey Road is a completely flawless album. Actually, I’d also bring ‘Here Comes The Sun’ over to the end of Side A and have ‘Because’ kick off Side B. Then it would be flawless. Love this record, love the creative risk-taking, love hearing how the Beatles utilize the studio technology that arrived in between the White Album and this one. And I guess I can forgive Paul for ‘Maxwell’s’ since he’s also largely responsible for the brilliant Side B medley. Favorite song: ‘The End’, specifically the guitar solo trade offs and John proving that technical proficiency isn’t everything.

Ok - so I know this one inside out. It’s the best Beatles album for me. Everything is spot on, the singing, musicianship, recording and production are perfect and basically set the blueprint for years to come. And an iconic cover just finishes the package off perfectly. And with the exception of Maxwell’s Silver Hammer it’s a joy from start to finish. Side 2 with the medley of songs is still jaw dropping when you consider there is just 6 years separating this and the simplicity of some songs on Please Please Me. If ever there was an album to make the case for the Beatles this is it. Lennon, McCartney and Harrison provide some of the best songs of all time for this album. And they did it as they were falling apart. It’s the ultimate final bow. Easiest 5 on the list and a great excuse to listen to it again.

Second best Beatles album imo, great from start to finish. Love how the chaotic dynamic of their relationship led to many songs that otherwise won't have been released and all are memorable, quotable and almost all hits.

Obviously enjoyed many of these songs, great catchy melodies!! And interesting from a music history perspective ofc cos it's the Beatles. Butttt I would say as a whole the album didnt resonate with me emotionally to a huge degree. Songs fit together cohesively though and a second listen gave me more joy

Excellent album

What an album.

Hot take: this one is pretty good.

Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Octopus' Garden mean that this never has a chance of being a five start album, and I'm afraid that this is a microcosm of the issues I've had with The Beatles - even after getting past my "they're overrated and I know better than you" phase. For all the great music, there's always some shite hiding around the corner... Favourite tracks: Come Together, Something, I Want You, The End

All timer

As with most late Beatles albums, when it's good it's untouchable. The first half has several of the greatest songs ever - Come Together, I Want You, Here Comes The Sun - and the usual smattering of McCartney being a bit too music hall. The second half was frustrating. I admire the sort of medley/segue attempt, and several parts are astonishingly good, but I can't help but feel making them into clearly defined, well structured songs would have been better. 4, but so close to a 5 it's annoying.

Is this a question

ameeei

Well duh.

3/5

Ja mislim da je ovo jedini bend gde kad drugi izvodjači obrade njihovu pesmu ona bolje zvuči od originala. Ne znam zašto, niti odakle mi to da imam ovoliku nesklonost ka ovoj grupi. Bukvalno od malih nogu ne mogu da ih podnesem. Ljudi imaju toliko poštovanje prema njima što su doveli neku inovaciju u svet muzike i sad jelte moram da im budem zahvalan što zbog njih postoje i ostali muzičari. Dupe moje. Da nisu postojali doveli bi inovaciju da ja nemam ovako loše mišljenje o njima. Došla bi neki drugi muzičari koji bi milion posto bili simpatičniji od ovih. Tangerine Dream koji sam slušao dan ranije je bio sedamdeset hiljada milijardi puta bolji i zanimljiviji. Bolje da su taj novac koji su utrošili za izradu te muzike, u koju naravno spada i drogiranje, da su preusmerili ka bukvalno bilo čemu drugom, svet bi bio bolje mestu. Verujem da je u njihovo vreme bilo dobro jer tad nije postojalo ništa drugo. Bila je Ella Fitzgerald I Budimpešti ali jebiga, uz njenu muziku ne možeš da se izdobijaš sa drogama i opijatima. Sve u svemu.... Overrated starkelje dobro što su se raspali i poumirali. Dajem objektivnu ocenu 2,5/5 što bi značilo da moram da stavim 3 ali ja ću da stavim JEDAN samo da upropastim rejting 😈😈😈 JAOOOOIO mogu da editujemmm i ovoooo RAHHAHAHAHA MAMU IM JEBEM. ZNAČI BOLJE BI IM BILO DA U SKORIJE VREME NE PREPORUČE JOŠ JEDAN NJIHOV ALBUM IDALJE SE NISAM OPORAVIO OD OVOGGGGG BREEEEEEE

nisu loši ovi momci

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Good amount of dead weight here but went it isn’t its excellent

I got whiplash going from the 4th lowest rated album to the 2nd highest rated album on the 1001 (only Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours tops this one). This album is certainly great, though not perfect. Plenty of great songs, and I was really into the heavier sound they had on a lot of these tracks. Some weird, quick songs toward the end that didn’t seem to fit the rest of the album keep it from a 5, but this is still my favorite Beatles album I’ve listened to so far. Strong 4/5

No major critiques here. It’s a solid listen with its place. I’m not going to be whipping out Maxwell’s Silver Hammer at a dance party but doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it.

Come Together/Something an incredible opening. Rest of the album doesn’t maintain that all time pace despite Here Comes the Sun

Love this. Classic

Absolute classic, incredible music.

Brilliant

What can I say, it’s the Beatles.

That ending…wow! I can see why this is a classic. Before this, the only song I’ve heard from this album is here comes the sun, but wow the rest of that album bringing in certain leitmotifs from the previous songs and the instrumental and vocals?! 🤯

I mean, what else can I even add to the discussion around this album. It is one of the greatest of all time. If anyone suggests Ringo is a shitty drummer, this album easily disproves that, so you can just safely ignore them as they obviously haven't heard this. This album has one of the most overloaded with quality first sides ever, every song was amazing and a hit. Then the second side is also overloaded with quality. George Harrison only has 2 writing credits here but they are both considered the best Beatles song. Period. Paul goes all out both on bass and with his voice. I just can't say enough good things about this album. Sounds amazing production wise, each song is 10/10, and the cover art is legendary. Still, I think Rubber Soul is their best

One of the best albums ever made that has lived on as a constant traffic hazard on a normal city street.

Fav: she came in through a bathroom window Honorable mention: something/ carry that weight 5/5

i’ve never listened to the whole album and there are many of the songs, but it was awesome to listen all the way through

For such an iconic album, this album lacks hits. Growing up my parents loved to play the Bettles greatest hits, and this left me wanting more. overall Id rate it about a 3.5/5

Of course, an all-timer, but in the mid-tier for my Beatles records. On side A, Something, Darling, and Heavy are the best tracks. I could lose Silver Hammer and Octopus’ Garden. Side B, lose Here Comes the Sun, but keep the ending medley - this is what people ought to love most. That’s the Beatles at max power.

Good

Do I care about the Beatles? No, I don't. Am I able to write an honest review that does not take my personal taste into account? Yes, I am. I Want You (She's So Heavy) is the best Beatles songs ever. And arguably invented the evil heavy metal riff. Some really solid songs here, but it feels more like a collection of songs than an actual planned out album, as it goes into a lot of different directions, even thematically. But the solid songs are so well built, with such a rich palette of sounds, varied influences and intensity that make this a really good overall effort.

Couple decent tracks but overall I was just waiting for it to finish

אלבום נחמד, אין לי כוח לפרט יותר בשלב זה של חיי, לא אלבום מדהים מאוד אבל אולי גם כן. זה האלבום הראשון שאני ממש מכיר את רוב אם לא כל השירים, למרות שלא האזנתי יותר מפעם אחת לפני לאלבום ברצף. כשאתה כבר מכיר את השירים קצת קשה לשפוט. כן יש באלבום מגוון ומתקווה לכבדות ועצבות אפילו הייתי אומר, שימוש בכלים לא קונבנציונאליים, בטח שלא לתקופה. בגדול למרות הגנריות גם בעצם הכתיבה וגם של הלהקה, אני אוהב את הביטלס. הם קצת פשוטים במובנים מסוימים ואין לפעמים מבחינה מוזיקלית משהו מורכב מנקודת מבט של היום. אבל אלה פאקינג שירים טובים, וזה מה שחשוב בסוף. אני גם מדרג את זה לפי כמה אהבתי את האלבום ולכן לכל שונאי אומר שוש.

Ah, my first Beatles album rating. I'll be honest, I've never been a fan of the Beatles. I've listened to a lot of their music and read a lot about them. I can appreciate their influence but think they are very overrated and not the be-all-end-all of music that many of their fans act like they are. That being said, my first full Beatles album listen was okay. A little underwhelming actually. My understanding is that this was their final album as a band, and it definitely sounds like it. It's missing the magic that they had in some of their earlier works. Here Comes the Sun is great though. And of course the album cover is iconic.

Has all the classics (I’ll give you a pass Maxwell), the beautiful medley, and the heavy blues. A bonafide, melodic classic!

Best Beatles album and one of the best albums out there.

I've already heard this album; it was impossible not to have heard it, or at least some of the songs that are on it, in my life.

You're gonna carry that weight. I gotta watch cowboy bebop again

Better than expected. My lack of fondness for the early Beatles shouldn't be a reason to listen to their other stuff. This album is strong and had some stuff I hadn't really heard before. Will listen again.

Not for me.

Great album.Medley is majestic

Duh

Just perfect! No much else to be said. It's a masterpiece and the perfect conclusion to The Beatles. Top Songs: Something, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Because, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight

Maybe a hot take, but I actually think this album is pretty good.

Not my favourite band but a few tracks were good

got halfway through it, reminded me how fun the beatles can be. many of their songs are so much sillier than i ever anticipated. need to go back and finish soon, but idk how this website works so i'm just gonna say i did.

Across the universe taught me all these songs

Listened to this one while unpacking my room before term started. Knew most of the songs already so good one to half pay attention to.

The sound is gorgeous, which I guess we can thank George Martin for. I don't love the Beatles as much as some, but yeah, this is a 5.

Even better than I remember, actual masterpiece

Back in my teenage years, I had a friend named Abbey. I have a vague memory of overhearing someone at school (a teacher, probably) ask her something to the effect of "What's it like being named after one of the greatest albums of all time?" I don't remember how she responded and only later pieced together that he was referring to Abbey Road, but that memory has managed to stick with me year after year. I knew that actually hearing Abbey Road would forever alter that memory, so I (somewhat intentionally) put off listening to it and let it live in my mind as this “perfect” album I might never get to experience. I was aware that I'd eventually arrive at Abbey Road by doing this challenge, but felt ready to take that leap – knowing it was the #2 highest-rated LP on here did give me some anxiety about it, though! I probably can't say much about Abbey Road that hasn't already been said thousands of times, so I'll try to keep it brief. Firstly, there are a lot of great songs here – "Something" might be the best Beatles single of the lot and quirky tracks like "Come Together" & "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" are just unforgettable. The 16-minute medley toward the end is pretty iconic as well. I guess the thing that holds this LP back for me is that it's kind of all over the place – the first five tracks on Side A each sound like they could have been from different albums, while Side B is more cohesive, but with varying levels of effort put into its transitions. I do like it when albums offer some variety, but not when that variety is inconsistent. I originally gave Abbey Road five stars, but that was the result of a lot of mental gymnastics (including the assumption that the chaotic/ordered dichotomy of the two sides was intentional, which doesn't actually appear to be the case) and peer pressure. I went back and changed my score to four stars after a few days because it just didn't look right sitting next to two albums I wholly resonated with. So, yeah... I think Abbey Road has a lot of great moments and can completely understand why many consider it an all-time great, but I also can't sweep my personal reservations under the rug (in good conscience, anyway). Regardless, I would definitely listen to it again in the future and am excited to see if there's a different Beatles album I end up enjoying even more! Highlights: Come Together, Something, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Oh! Darling, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Here Comes the Sun, You Never Give Me Your Money, Mean Mr Mustard, She Came in Through the Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, The End

It’s a great record that I should’ve paid more attention to sooner. It’s definitely a record where it’s intended to be listened to as one whole project. The second half of it being loads of short songs that flow from one another exceptionally. Love hearing the range in Paul’s voice, ‘Oh Darling’ was my personal favourite display of this. Ringo Star is so neat and perfect on this record, really showing his technical capabilities as a true professional and pioneer. Absolutely love the album cover, and all the conspiracies that came with it. The tension in ‘I want you (She’s So Heavy) is superb one of my favourites off this album. Favourite songs are: ‘Come Together’, ‘Oh Darling’, ‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy)’, ‘You Never Give Me Your Money’, ‘Carry That Weight’, and ‘The End’.

peak beatles. perfection.

It's not my favorite Beatles record but still a Masterpiece

Well its the beatles

The most widely misunderstood, and overrated, Beatles album. Something I think captures Abbey Road in a nutshell... They originally wanted to name this album Everest, and the cover photo was going to be the foursome on Mt Everest. Instead they named it Abbey Road and took a photo outside the front door of their studio. Despite its recent critical reappraisal, Abbey Road is not the sound of the Beatles at their creative peak. It's the sound of a band running out of gas, suing each other, and lowering their standards. The Beatles were not trying to make any profound artistic statements, they were trying to fulfill their contractual obligations as quickly as possible so they could move on. All 3 songwriters released better solo albums a year or so after this album came out and, clearly, they were saving their best material. I should mention I am a Beatles fanatic (not a hater) and can acknowledge the positives here. There are a handful of remarkably great recordings on this album, best of which is "Something." "Something" is an all-timer love song and one of the most mature, elegant miniature morsels the band ever made. "Come Together" is also quite unique -- a post-psychedelic reinterpretation of 50s rhythm and blues with a signature rhythm track unlike anything the band (or really anyone else) had ever done. But alongside these merits are serious problems. "Because" is a virtuosic piece of work, overshadowed by the corny Moog sounds. (The Moog generally does not work on this album, in my opinion.) Similarly, "Here Comes the Sun" is a great song at its core, but it gets bogged down with its overblown prog rock arrangement. The B-side medley is probably the best example of their misfire and it still shocks me to read reviews from people who think it's some kind of masterful experiment in songcraft. They took unfinished scraps of songs that might have really had an impact if they took the time to work on them (e.g. "Golden Slumbers," "Mean Mr. Mustard"), threw them in the pot with a bunch of other crap, added a Moog and an orchestra, served it up and said bon appetit. John acknowledged many times in many interviews that the medley was pure lifeless junk. And there's a scene in the Anthology documentary where they are re-listening to studio masters of some of the medley orchestration; Paul is absolutely high on his own farts and George looks straight into the camera to say "a bit corny, init?" Yes! It is very very corny. When the theme to "You Never Give Me Your Money" returns as a horn section during "Carry That Weight," I get a full body cringe. John is only half-present on this album and it clearly shows. There are a number of songs he didn't touch, and he didn't even bother showing up to the final recording sessions. He's also, clearly, not sharing his best work -- most of what he wrote on this album had been kicking around since the band came back from India, and Plastic Ono Band (which is a MUCH better album than Abbey Road) was recorded shortly after this. "I Want You" is the closest thing to a proto-Plastic Ono song on Abbey Road, and it pales in comparison to others in its style (like "Yer Blues" or "Don't Let Me Down"). What we're left with is Paul's ego unchained. The medley has his fingerprints all over it, and "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is legendary in how badly it pissed off the rest of the band. "Oh Darling" is fine, but it's a weak pastiche at a time when a zillion musicians (including John) were doing a much better job of playing with roots rock n roll revival. It's been quite surprising to see this album get reevaluated in the past couple decades by younger audiences who have elevated it to "masterpiece" status in the same way the Boomers latched on to Sgt. Pepper. I'm not entirely sure why this is the highest rated Beatles album on this site, but it probably has to do with the cleaner production standards compared to their earlier 60s albums; in the end, I think most people just want easy listening. All in all, Abbey Road showed the way to the future in 70s rock radio, but mostly by influencing its worst tendencies, i.e. corny prog pop and soft rock. This doesn't sound like a band at the cutting edge of popular culture, it sounds like ELO or Wings or any number of yacht rock bands. But hey, I suppose that's also why a lot of people like it -- ELO sold a lot of records.

Does it get better than this? Maybe but probably not...

Writing, music, vocals - song after song, brilliant.

20/10 no notes

It feels crazy to give this a 4/5, but I’m not sure if it warrants a 5/5 from me. Out of songs that I hadn’t heard before, my favourites were Something and Golden Slumbers / Carry that Weight

And in the end, Paul is dead.

i enjoy the covers people have done more than the original but i can respect the influence though.

Not as good as The White Album or Pepper but still great and just an all-round great classic rock record.

Overrated. Couple of good songs, but not the typical singles.

One of the best albums ever and my personal favorite of the Beatles. The whole second side is brilliant and the first side contains some of the best pop songs ever. Truly a masterpiece. Favorites: Something, Octopus's Garden, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Here Comes the Sun, the whole damn suite at the end

it was fine. frankly i wanna rate it lower just because of how fine it turned out to be after 50+ years of hype

If I had to make a book called "1 album you must listen to before you die", it would be this one

Would I like this album as much if I didn't have long-ago memories of establishing musical tastes to it? It's a classic and weird in ways I really like and may not have patience for anymore. RIP my attention span.

This is the perfect rock album, the definition of a rock album. It’s also a personal favorite. Never gets old.

This site should have an "Abbey Road" rating option, because how are the other albums supposed to compare to this? Perfect song after perfect song. Come on. Six stars.

Abbey Road feels like a band that knew what they were doing by this point. When I listen to it, it just sounds confident and settled. Nothing feels messy or rushed. I like how easy it is to listen to. The songs are strong, and the second half really sticks together in a way that still feels satisfying. It feels thought through, even if I cannot always explain why. For me, it sounds like a great band in a great era, finishing on a high.

The medley……..

Masterpiece from beginning to end. I've heard this album a thousand times, but listening again with fresh ears just solidified what I've always felt; perfection. Beautiful, fun, iconic, interesting, prolific, magic. No one like the Beatles.

“Oh! Darling” I didn’t know that they sang like this, I don’t necessarily like it but it is interesting. Overall, no strong stand outs for me. But it’s like an easy listening vibe, but didn’t necessarily grab me. If I were choosing between this and the Creedence Clearwater Revival album of Cosmos Factory, I’d go with CCR.

Already listen to this 5 stars for suree

You could make an argument that while side A is immaculate, side B is bloated. Mr Mustard through She Came In feels like filler. But then you start to wrap up with Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight, and it feels like the only ending possible to probably the all-time greatest seven-year collaboration in pop music. They manage to include the whole history of Beatles songwriting: the tight songcraft of the early years (Oh! Darling); the Sgt Pepper wildness (Octopus's Garden); the gilt-record later-career hits, suffused with a little more wisdom (Here Comes The Sun), and the folky bits of improvised irreverence that inspired a thousand imitator albums (The End). I don't know if this is the real coda record, or Let It Be. But goddamn, this one works.

The Good: Too much… The Bad: Not enough… The Ugly: My score… What is there to write about this album? It is what it is… another fucking Beatles album that shows why they are one of the most successful bands in modern music history… A fucking song about an Octopus Garden, really? Got to hand it to Ringo, he knows how to create quirky songs that just make you wish for more… Lennon and McCartney both show us why they are who they are… sometimes did have to giggle a little, but maybe that’s because I was being tickled by my wife during Oh Darling I could have used a little more Harrison… but who’s counting? Lastly, what an album cover! Perfection almost… I can’t think of a better way for a band like the Beatles to bow out! 5* graded to 5*

My thoughts - For a long time, I considered myself a passive listener of The Beatles. I knew the hits & enjoyed them when they came on the radio or a playlist, but I never really listened to an entire album (minus the Across the Universe soundtrack, but i don't think that counts) However, taking the time to become an active listener for Abbey Road gave me a whole new appreciation for their genius. In my opinion, this is their best album. There is a polished, cohesive quality here that feels like the band reaching their absolute summit. I found that the best way to experience it was listening to the entirety of the album in one go, I didn't even mean to do that; I was just enjoying myself so much I let each song play into the next one; for me that's damn near impossible as I almost exclusively skip a song after I listen to just a bit of it, lol. It’s def a bittersweet masterpiece ~ knowing it was one of the last times they worked together in the studio. Favorite song(s) - The End Here Comes the Sun Come Together Something Rating 1-5 ~ 4

Classic but also a little uneven. And yet..a classic.

Something, Because, Here Comes The Sun, one of if not the best Beatles LPs.

Un clásico. Canciones maravillosas mezcladas con otras bastante normales. No es un álbum redondo ya que le sobran media docena de temas. 8/10

Perfect. No kotes

Perfeição. A melhor música da carreira dos Beatles encerrando o lado A e uma obra impecável no lado B.

Corny

Classic

Непростительной ошибкой было долгие годы позволять себе думать, что мне не нравятся Битлз. Да, с предыдущими альбомами у меня все ещё напряжённые отношения и именно из-за этого я никак не мог добраться до Эбби Роад. Все, что можно сказать об этом альбоме, сказано миллионами людей до меня.

This simultaneously contains some of the Beatles best work- the masterful medley on side 2, and their worst- Maxwells silver hammer. It’s a Beatles album there’s great songs, beautiful Melodys and soaring harmonies. Theres also weird bubble sounds on octopuses garden

My favourite Beatles album is Revolver, so when it comes to my opinion on Abbey Road, I'm always like "Meh, they could do better." But whenever I actually listen to this thing I remember how STACKED this album is. Come Together, Something, I Want You (She's So Heavy), the medley on side two. It's forty something minutes of peak music that happens to also have the goofy "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" on it.

come together--we all know it something--reminds me of wish you were here (or does floyd remind me of something?) silver hammer--ok? oh! darling--classic little rock ballad start octopus's garden--me too, ringo, me too here comes the sun hits different after i want you ope interrupted album, vibe broke lot going on after here comes the sun the end--mean drum solo her majesty--catchy

new fav song from this album: you never give me your money. a classic that still stands strong

Octopus really loved

obviously a classic, but feel like the album’s reputation has always been *slightly* overblown. side a is a tad hit or miss for me, but side b is marvellous, that stretch from “you never give me your money” to “the end” is the greatest thing the beatles have ever done.

I mean come on Medley at the end is absolutely goated,golden slumbers/carry that weight/the end was a recent discovery for me, been rattling around my head for weeks

I mean yeah it’s a 5, so many classics Probably quicker to list the songs that aren’t a 10/10 (sun king, mean mr mustard, polythene Pam, her majesty) but that’s being pretty picky 5

I’m demoting this, sorry

Timeless album and iconic cover.

Although The Beatles have long since left my daily rotation, this album will always be a 5/5 for me.

Iconic. Starts strong. Ends stronger. Some of the "headline" Beatles songs and song titles. The medley outro is pure power.

I mean it's the Beatles and I'm not sure they ever put out a bad album.

I Hate this album… Jusf kidding this album is famous for a reason. It’s just so classic, when i think of album i think of abbey road cause it’s so famous. This is the beatles in an album. I appreciate this album a lot since i grew up listening to it with my siblings and i could never escape it (not in a bad way). Come Together and Something hold a special place since i’ve always loved those songs even before really getting into music. Every member on this album does their thing so well it’s like a masterpiece group project. I’d imagine what it was like when it first came out, everyone must’ve been going crazy to hear this in the 60s. 10/10 OF COURSE

I’m kind of shocked at how much I enjoyed this album. I spent the majority of my music listening life being the annoying anti Beatle contrarian, so doing this project has made me sit down and actually listen to them. The first two songs being Come Together and Something really made starting this album very smooth, though Maxwells Silver Hammer almost made me want to turn it off. The melody towards the end was also amazing. In all it was a really good listen, and something I will come back to.

ME ENCANTA ESTE ALBUMMMMM

Um dos álbuns mais conhecidos e aclamados da história, de uma das bandas mais conhecidas, aclamadas e influentes da história. Não há uma má música aqui, destaque para Here Comes The Sun, Something, Oh! Darling e You Never Give Me Your Money.

nice

I have had many a friend tell me that they don't like the Beatles, or that they think the Beatles are overrated. I can understand the perspective if they've only listened to the radio. However, if that is the case, I ask them to sit down and listen to Abbey Road. Usually that opens their ears. If they maintain their opinion, then I know they're either lying about listening to the album, or I never trust them for a music-related opinion ever again.

Fantastic. If you haven’t heard this before, and want to know what a great band at the pinnacle of their creative power’s sounds like, here’s your record.

All timer

This one naturally sits right near the top of this entire list of albums. How could it not? It was extremely important for many reasons, but maybe the largest is where it sits in time both for the Beatles and the world as a whole. This record was the defining last stand for a band that changed it all. It is mastered so beautifully and the tracks included are so perfect. A blend of pop, rock, psychadelia, and the blues. Love songs, Acid trip songs, philosophy tunes all included. As much as Let it Be is "the most song of all time" this may be "the most album of all time". Use this as your basis to rate other albums you may encounter in the future - it is the golden standard. 10/10

If you asked me, I for sure would have guessed that Octopus's Garden was from the LSD era. The album deserves a 5, but I underrated it and it would be dishonest to change it now

I have actually listened to this album before :) and was 5 stars then and obviously is now. This is just it. When I first properly listened to it felt like I was hearing history. All of the influences other artists cite them as all demonstrated in one album. Just incredible. 9.1/10

I listened to this album while playing SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide, and I finished the final frustrating task needed to get the Platinum just as The End was finishing up. The Beatles really are that good, huh? And weird as hell too. Despite having heard these things for years, I never really internalized or understood it; I just kind of assumed people oversold them a little bit on account of nostalgia, but this album is really damn good, most especially within the deep cuts and the weirder moments that flow together like one continuous suite. And their vocal harmonies really are impeccable, my word. What a hell of a start to this project. Highlights: Come Together, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Oh! Darling, I Want You (She's So Heavy), Here Comes The Sun, You Never Give Me Your Money, She Came In Through The Bathroom Window, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, Her Majesty

An album I already was extremely familiar with and it was a great time coming back to it. Oh! Darling/ I Want You (She’s So Heavy)/ Last Half of that Album = Peak

it was something that I wouldn’t normally listen to and surprisingly I loved it!

classic. peak. history. bangers.

There’s no denying this album has some great songs. “Come Together” might actually be my favorite Beatles track. Coming from someone who doesn’t love the Beatles, the only thing keeping this from being a 5/5 for me is a handful of tracks that just don’t do much for me. Trim it down to 12 or 13 songs and it probably gets there. 4.5/5

This album is a classic for a reason. It’s beloved for a reason. It’s iconic, it’s amazing, I love it.

It’s the Beatles so doesn’t that mean I’m supposed to think it’s amazing? Well, I do appreciate what the Beatles did for modern pop/rock. And a few of their albums, regardless of whether one “likes” them, are undeniably influential artistic achievements that an automatically classics. I don’t think this one falls in that category. The cover art is certainly iconic! And a few of the songs are great (Carry That Weight, Come Together). What’s with the mini-songs though? The little 1-2 minute diddies? The music is great but then it just stops. Feels almost like they were undeveloped musical thoughts. Is that blasphemy? Anyway, I want to give this a 3, but feel compelled to give it a 4. No, this is my list. This is a subpar Beatles record.

I've listened to this so many times. Paul is dead!

I feel like I’ve listened to this before, but maybe so intentionally. So interesting how weird this band was for being the most popular in the world. Love the transitions between “sun king” through “she came through the window” were so theatrical and made the second side feel so epic!

The Beatles offer such a distinctive and unique sound, and this album is no expectation, it is full of classic songs evoking feelings of joy and youth that transcends generations. It's impact on music is evident as its influence appears across so many artists.

One star off because any album with Maxwell’s Silver Hammer doesn’t deserve 5 stars

meh

What more could you ask for? Also, best B side in history.

A perfect album! Maybe my favorite Beatles record?

A bit hrd listening for some

MAIOR BANGER

Favourite songs: Something Oh! Darling Golden Slumbers

This is the best Beatles album, best mixed and most focused amongst all of them. This was the perfect close to the Beatles. Let it be was released later but this album was the last that they recorded together

First album on this list that I *truly* believe belongs here. ★★★★★

One of the greatest (if not the greatest) albums of all time. Unbelievable that it was made by a band in disarray who mostly weren't even talking to each other and were almost never in the studio at the same time. 5/5

Thankful I grew up with this one, and that this was my starting point for this project

Come together: 7/10 might be playlist worthy Something in the way 7.8/10 playlist worthy maybe Silver hammer: 6/10 Oh darling: idk but defo high than silver hammer Octuphs Garden: 4/10 I want you (shes so heavy): 8/10 playlist worthy Here comes the sun: 9/10 always a classic Because: 6/10 You never give your money: 7.4/10 playlist worthy maybe Sun king: 7/10 Mean Mr mustard: 7.9/10 playlist worthy Polythene Pan: 8/10 added to playlist She came in through the window: 7/10 playlist worthy maybe Golden slumbers: 8/10 Carry that weight: 7.8/10 The End: 7.8/10 Her Majesty: 9/10

It's a fantastic album - used to really find Here Comes the Sun jarring in the listing, but this time I really felt that it fit well

the album of all time

all timer

2.7/5 Really solid first 7 songs and then it all sort of drops off towards the end. I haven't listened to any Beatles albums before so it nice to hear the non singles tracks.

Obviously one of the greatest albums ever.

Partly heard before Saved 11/17 Top track: Here Comes the Sun

A monumental accomplishment. I've always known The Beatles put out great music, but this album is almost hilariously perfect. Abbey Road has both slam-dunk radio singles, and a 14 minute super-medley; both heartwarming tear-jerkers, and gritty, lustful rock. I mean, on "Oh! Darling" alone, they basically predict every Led Zeppelin song ever. And that's a legendary fucking band! And this came out in 1969! Every single one of these lads was at the top of his game. Lennon's "I Want You" ends with the most arresting cut I've ever heard. McCartney's songwriting and playing is generational. Harrison writes the Beatles' most famous song. And Ringo is more than just a hatrack. Now I get it. Jesus, fucking, Christ.

Favorite Track: Come Together

People rate this, but I think it's their weakest post-Pepper album.

Yess!! Dette er ikke en av favorittene mine fra Beatles, så jeg har ikke hørt så mye igjennom det. Om jeg har hørt igjennom det i det hele tatt. Gleder meg!! // Dette føles ut som en ekte gryte av alt som gjør Beatles til Beatles. Merkelig og eksperimentelt kombinert med noen av de vakreste balladene noensinne skrevet. Høydepunkt: Something, Here Comes The Sun, Golden Slumbers

I am not sure i have listened to this in its entirity before, despite knowing the majority of the songs well. There is a beautiful small guitar solo I never noticed before on Come Together and it is fantastic. Something is just pure class. I was really enjoying Oh Darling until Paul started screaming, but then I read up about the context and it all makes sense. Octopussys garden is, well, Ocotopussy's Garden. I did not care too much for I Want You. Here comes the Sun is one of my favourite Beatles songs. I quite liked Sun King and how it went into Mean Mr Mustard. Golden Slumbers and Carry the weight are absolutely fantastic. The album ends well. Despite a few weaker songs, It is a good album, but I am not a massive Beatles fan and therefore do not really have a desire to own the album. Based on this criteria I give this a solid 4.5 stars

Listened on 1/4/26 The A-side was a classic listen through some of the most iconic Beatles songs out there. While some of them are definitely not playlist worthy in my book, they were all great to hear. However, the B-side, starting with “Sun King,” which is like an alternate version of the classic “Here Comes the Sun,” blew me completely away. All of these little snippets of songs beautifully interwoven together was truly something extraordinary to listen to. I have always known that the Beatles were popular and understand that through their hit singles, but I truthfully didn’t except this level of mastery. I was blown away. 4/5

Fave songs are: Oh! Darling, Something, Golden slumbers

Wasn't a huge fan. I didn't like the psychedelic pop sound. I enjoyed the songs "Something" and "Octopus's Garden."

Uno de albumes del grupo favorito de uno de mis mejores amigos. Top tier album de los 60’s. Special love songs are also found here. El vinilo es exquisito.

Pretty good !! My fav one overall, is Oh! Darling and Her Majesty. I’m a little bummed out bc I thought that Her Majesty was a full song!! Not just like 23 seconds. Still love it tho lol. I woudl give this album a 7/10!! Some songs I just didn’t resonate with, or just no matter how much I repeated them I couldn’t just keep my attention enough to comprehend it.

Didn’t really like it Fav : something/oh darling

Childhood!! First listen in SF

47m 17 songs Not a fan of the Beatles🙁

ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT BECAUSE ITS THE BEATLES NONE BETTER EVER

4.5 stars

A certified classic

Overall a pretty solid album, but I think it suffers a bit from being released after the more ambitious Sgt. Pepper and the White Album, as I feel it's a pretty big step back. The songs are generally more straightforward in my opinion, and it seems to have less variation overall, playing it more safe and familiar instead of exploring different genres. Still, a well put-together record though. 3/5.

#814. OK, so here's my thought process while rating this one: We start out at the base 5 star rating that every album theoretically starts out with. Minus one star from the jump for me being reminded of John Lennon's existence. Minus two more stars for being yet another mid ass Beatles album with like two good songs and a bunch of fluff. Minus three more stars for that bukkake song where he was asking all those guy to cum together over him or whatever. And then plus 4 stars for the having the best Beatles song on there: Octopus's Garden. So let's do a little arithmetic and see where we're at... and it looks like we got to three stars overall. Yeah, that sounds about right. 3/5: fine

eyy ts was so good wld replay again, 8/10

One of the best records ever recorded. Period.

I'm just not a big fan of Beatles.

This is my first time hearing the hole album and it was life changing I’m not really used to this type of music but this is great

Is this a question? Sheer perfection from the Fab Four. From the first note to the last gated note of Her Majesty, this is the gold standard.

Legendary

Of course, this album is not new to me. Nonetheless, it is a masterpiece, filled with classic tracks. But the Abbey Road Medley is the icing on top. 5/5

4.5 - super cool album, favorite is by far “I Want You” - new appreciation for all the styles that the Beatles had. Each track had me wondering what the next would sound like. Loved the B side.

as i was listening to abbey road i had the thought to go check this website after a bit of a break from it and then there it was isnt that fun?? i dont think i could say anything intelligent that about this album that hasnt been said already but i can be really annoying about how much i like it... god this is a good album!!! absolutely crazy to me how someone could just create this?? the pure musicality and creativity and thoughtfulness and whimsy of this album i absolutely adore it through and through!! nothing but pure joy listening to it again favs! - she came in through the bathroom window - something - octopus's garden - i want you (she's so heavy) misc. things i appreciate a lot - the guitar solo on octopus's garden - the little laugh in maxwell's silver hammer - the bass in i want you - the harmonies in because!!! so tasty - ringo absolutely overpowering every other voice in carry that weight 😭 - "i will sing a lullaby ... GOOOOLDEEN SLUUUMBERS" - mean mr mustard. - questionable pronunciations in sun king lmao - georges voice in here comes the sun (doo doo doo doo <3) - the medley GOD THE MEDLEY listening to that on vinyl for the first tile was crazyyyy - whatever freaky shit is going on in come together (these guys love to moan into a mic i swear to god)

Brilliant. A masterpiece. Respectfully, still didn't make me a fan.

Easiest 5 star so far (not including albums on here that I already knew and loved). Obviously I've heard a whole lot of The Beatles in my life, I've never listened to this album in its entirety. I was working my way through The Beatles back catalogue not long before starting this challenge. I already knew several songs on the album, my previous favourite and may still be is "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". As a big metal fan, it's like I'm hearing some of those elements from The Beatles which is just fantastic. The whole album was just a big trip and the huge medley of connecting songs at the back end is one of the best things I've heard on record. I instantly want to buy this on vinyl and probably will very soon. I now have a new favourite album. Thank you Beatles !

Do I need to justify why this album is perfection? We’ll, excluding octupus’s garden… sorry, Ringo

I've listened to this album a bunch already but will give it a re-listen! What happened to Paul's shoes on the cover? Hope he's ok!

So many good tracks on this album. And all are very diverse and showed how well The Beatles could handle different genres of music.

The production quality really shines through on this album, a testament to George Martin. The songwriting was also very exceptional, as well as musicality (especially Ringo Starr's drums). However, the majority of the album felt very boring and not noteworthy, so I would give this a 4.5 if I could. Favorite tracks: Come Together, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Octopus' Garden and Golden Slumbers.

Perfect album, no notes. Paul’s bass and George’s guitar are both things of beauty. Unparalleled songwriting.

Sounds familiar, like I’ve heard these before and never realized it’s the Beatles. Has some absolute bangers, but kind of weird. You can tell which ones Ringo was in charge of. My favorite is Something. 7/10.

One of the greatest albums of all time. Despite being written and recorded near the end of The Beatles career when there was a lot of infighting within the band, that anger and resentment was put aside to make a really awesome piece of music.

While I do think the Beatles are massively overrated most of the time, this was reasonably enjoyable

aint much to say beside maxwell's silver hammer being the underrated banger that it is that song is like top 3 on the album and needs more love but nah 6/5 top 3 in order: Golden Slumbers, Something, and Maxwell's Sliver Hammer BANG BANG hehe

évidemment c’est un 5 étoile🥲✊🏼

7.5/10 Beatles albums tend to be a bit hit and miss, and there are definitely some stinkers on here (especially Maxwells Silver Hammer and Oh Darling), but theres no lack of creativity here and the second half is really strong Highlights: Here Comes the Sun Because Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End You Never Give Me Your Money Something

Better than hards days night. In Abbey Road its visible how better they get. They music stop being so generic to be more unique, making more sense being the legends that they are. Well, every song here its good, beside that i dont think there is a great and amazing song in this album, only good ones. And this doenst make it bad. Otherwise, it is a good album, a real album everyone must hear before die.

Nie ma co się rozwodzić, goście zdefiniowali muzykę współczesną i tyle, a Abbey Road to jeden z ich najważniejszych albumów. Ale wciąż nie mam zwyczaju sięgać po Beatlów z własnej woli. Trochę jak literatura antyczna - wiem, że jest początkiem wszystkiego, ale nie czytam jej.

Iconic for a reason

this was a great album. i really enjoyed oh darling! and maxwells silver hammer.

10/10

It really is an excellent album. Classics like Come Together and Here Comes the Sun both hold up, even as familiar as they are. But many of the other songs are equally hit-worthy. The Beatles are at their best when they provide the back-and-forth tango between vocals and guitar, almost as if in conversation with each other… you can’t help but smile. Standouts include the bluesy “I Want You (She’s So Heavy),” the longing and love conveyed in “Something,” the anthemic, atmospheric “Carry That Weight,” and fun, boppy songs like “Mean Mr. Mustard” and “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window.” Truly a classic even though I’ve never been particularly drawn to pre-1990’s music.

I think it is not possible to NOT enjoy this album. Besides the classic songs that show how different and rich the songwriting of each member of the band can do, the magic of the album grows with each listen, and even the b sides have their own magical touch( how gorgeous is "golden slumbers", for example). Having checked how the band did the album and all the struggles that made the band quit just make this album much more complex and beautiful. It makes me wonder what would be if the guys worked together... George Harrison's songs here are just amazing, "Something" is easilybone of the best Beatles song... 5/5

Iconic and really good

not my favorite beatles project bang bang maxwells silver hammer also i hate octopus garden

Undeniable classic. I've even come to love Maxwell's Silver Hammer. BANG BANG. Fave tracks: Something, Here Comes The Sun, Golden Slumbers medley

PEAK

Iconic album with lots of classics. Has stood the test of time.

The best. I love this album so much.

Okay you know what, yeah. The hype is completely understandable. I wouldn't necessarily listen to all of this so often right now, but I can only imagine this would blow your mind in 1969. There's a lot of great tracks on here, some phenomenal segues especially in the second half too. My favorites that I'd listen to independently were Come Together, Something, and Carry That Weight, but I have to give a shout-out to Polythene Pam/She Came In Through The Bathroom Window because that transition rips.

My favourite Beatles album, in an illustrious discography of great works. Discounting Let It Be, which was recorded before this but came out after, this is one hell of a last hurrah for a band that was coming unglued at the time of recording. You've got all-time classics like Come Together and Something, heavy songs like Oh! Darling or the psychedelic rager I Want You (She's So Heavy), lighter fare like Octopus's Garden and Here Comes the Sun, and even an over 15-minute medley of songs taking up most of the second side of the record, culminating in the absolute tour de force that is The End, where in just two minutes the Fab Four trade off solos and deliver one hell of, well, an end to the whole shebang. Not just the album, but their recorded output as a group. (Oh, and Her Majesty is there too.) No notes. This deserves its spot near the very top of the rankings on this website.

For some reason this didn’t click with me as much as other Beatles albums, but I still enjoyed it a good bit after two listens. Really crisp production, which I appreciate. I also appreciated how musically, all four lads got their moments to shine. Come Together and Here Comes the Sun obviously stand out, but I Want You (She’s So Heavy) was really interesting and stuck with me, and Oh! Darling as well. The only low point was Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, which was kinda a silly addition to an otherwise great album. edit: Original review was made on Jan. 3, 2025. Nearly one month later On Feb. 2, after various songs from this album have popped into my head at random times, I have seen the light. This is PEAK.

I'm afraid the hype is completely justified here. I've been getting slowly eased into The Beatles by this challenge, but it wasn't until our third album entry of theirs, Rubber Soul, that I truly started believing. To me that was the band at their best, just pure great songwriting on display with little experimental weirdness or psychedelia (which admittedly didn't really work for me on Revolver and Sgt Pepper). Abbey Road takes everything I loved about Rubber Soul, and infuses it with all the experience and maturity they gained in the four years between both albums. I like to jokingly say that music got good in 1970, but hearing the GOATs of the 60s transitioning those same songwriting chops into a spiritually 70s sound is every bit as good as I could've imagined. Even the goofy and off-beat songs here are a joy to listen to! I never thought I'd give a 5 to a Beatles album - nevermind two - but I can't deny how peam this is. Standouts: Come Together • Something • Oh! Darling • Octopus's Garden • I Want You (She's So Heavy) • Here Comes The Sun • Carry That Weight • The End

Impossible for me to be normal about this album. This album was in my dad's car for about ten years. It was the soundtrack to every trip to a restaurant, or the mall, or to run errands. I could probably play this entire album note for note in my head if I had to. The meaning it has for me is indescribable. In my opinion, this is The Beatles at their peak. No psychedelic weirdness, no cover versions, just beautiful original creations. You get two of the best George Harrison songs ever. You get Paul screaming on Oh! Darling. You have John guitar rocking out on I Want You (She's So Heavy) which is the best Beatles song ever, hands down, in my estimation. I even love Octopus's Garden. The guitar is so crisp and I loved it so much as a child. Genuinely the only blemish on here is Maxwell's Silver Hammer but the rest of it is so strong and it's not the worst thing ever. The medley at the end is sublime. The way they bring back the musical motif from You Never Give Me Your Money is perfect. I am so genuinely grateful this album was made and I think everyone should get to listen to it at least once.

OH GOD I LOVE CARRY THE WEIGHT!! but i need more time to listen this more

Iconic for both the album cover and the innovation. This is an essential album for any music-lover. Arguably the best of The Beatles.

My favorite album ever. No skips, no nonsense, just pitch perfect track after track without an ounce of fat.

4/5

I was busy the past two days with Shay n Jade 🧑‍🧒. However I liked the album and I can see why it's considered a classic !

1. Come Together - remember listening to this when I was younger & being attracted to the nearly nonsensical lyrics. Also, it's a John driven song, Paul seems absent, but the duet is there. Is it Ringo? Just googled, it's Paul doing back up vocals, but the song features strongly of Ringo on drums & George's familiar guitar riffs. The song was inspired by Timothy Leary's campaign slogan "Come Together" AGAINST RONALD REAGAN. Did not know that! 2. Carry That Weight starts on a booming chorus. It's like being late to the orchestra, opening the door at the back of the theater, and getting hit with a wall of sound. It's very "anthem without context" & easy to imagine the singers with arms wrapped around each other, swaying side to side. More feature of Ringo's talent on drums & George on guitar. The transition into The End adds to that "was this written as a soundtrack?" mystique.

4.5/5 - One of the beetles finest. Not quite as good as revolver

just not a beatles fan

Top 5 album ever made, my second favorite

nice

Yeah it's the beatles and it's cliche but this album fucks

such a classic loved it !!

ok, this is great too, but I honestly feel like there’s something that doesn’t quite convince me, talking about the beatles in general, in some point I feel that sounds kind of repetitive and that just disturbs me

klassiekertje + op vinyl :p

I'l go to my grave saying that George Harrison was the best musician in the Beatles, and this album is two of the greatest songs ever written surrounded by a collection of mostly average songs. 'Something' probably has a strong claim to be one of the best songs I have ever heard. The rest of the album is pretty hit and miss. I'm honestly a little surprised this is as highly regarded as some of the other albums, it doesn't have the same cohesive feel that Rubber Soul. Sgt Peppers, or the white album has.

I remember sitting in our living room listening to this album on the headphones with super thick curly cord to the hifi. This is the nostalgic shit. Love how they can sing about dark stuff and somehow make it feel whimsical. Oh Darling gives passion and emotion and is my fave track.

Beautiful voice. This will be getting a few more plays when there’s a long drive to be done

Good album in general. Best for me is probably polythene pam. Although here comes the sun is also really good. The beatles are goated

The greatest album of all time. You get The Beatles at the hight of their abilities with songwriting, vocals and musicianship that has not been matched, by anyone but themselves, in close to 60 years now. You also have to mention the incredible production of George Martin who, while being incredibly important throughout their career by helping them achieve many of the ideas that shaped music production forever, also shines the most on this record.

Near perfect

3.5 really but 4 is a bit too generous as some songs aren’t my thing. Well put together album and some good pieces of music.

Man, been awhile since I've listened to this in its entirety, but what a great album. Definitely one of my favorite of theirs. 4.5/5

I've always sorta said that mid-era Beatles was my favorite period. I love Rubber Soul and Revolver, and have been a little down on White Album and Magical Mystery Tour. HOWEVER, this album is really fucking great and almost 5/5. Only thing that holds it slightly back is Octopus's Garden (sorry, Ringo). That being said, it's just a slight criticism. 4.75/5

Proof the Beatles are not overrated

"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make". Always a masterpiece. What a great way to end a career as a band (well, ignoring the fact that Let It Be was released later). This is a rare perfect album, no wonder it is at the very top in the global highest rated albums in this page, tied with Rumours. Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End is such a perfect ending, with Her Majesty as a nice little epilogue. I'm so glad to have heard the mash up of the three songs live as a closing for the Paul McCartney show I attended as a kid. But really, every song on here is perfect. I also love George Harrison's contributions to this record, both as a songwriter and guitar player. Been getting a lot of Beatles recently here. Revolver a couple weeks ago; McCartney's Band On The Run two days ago.

A classic, I recognise it is a pillar to music, fame precedes it as they say. I realised I never listened to this album in its entirety while knowing of its existence. Generally speaking, the listening experience was good. But being completely honest… It didn’t entirely satisfy me. Maybe I expected something different given how much this specific album is heavily mentioned and adored. Some of the songs had me actually stopping just to listen and appreciate, and they were genuinely enjoyable. Others… They didn’t stick out to me.

DOUX Vraiment génial

The first half of this is really well sequenced and had a lot of iconic songs, though the second half fell flat for me. Still a good album, and nice of the Beatles to dedicate part of "I Want You" to your mother. 3/5

The end was better than the middle. It wasn’t as amazing a listen as I thought it would be. It had a rock overtone in the middle which didn’t fit the albim

4/5
