Second track was my fav & carry that weight wasn’t as good as Jennifer Hudson’s cover. It was a nice rock vibe tho felt chill
A true classic. Hit, after hit, after hit. A perfect example of what pop rock is. The finale suite is so magical.
Didnt really tickle my pickle
Solid as hell. This album is older than me and there's really nothing I could say about it that hasn't already been said. This album has been really important to me at different times in my life and the medley that closes it out makes me tear up listening to it now. Golden Slumbers, Something, and She Came in Through the Bathroom Window are my favorites. Just infectious.Even when I don't think I want to listen to this album, I start whistling and singing along just as loudly as always.
Although The Beatles have long since left my daily rotation, this album will always be a 5/5 for me. I genuinely don’t understand how you can listen to "Something," "Here Comes the Sun," the medley—honestly, the whole thing—and give it anything less. *adjusted this to 4 keeping group rating 5
obra prima atemporal
Easiest 5 I've given, such a great album.
Beatles is iconic obviously
No one needs to write anything else about this album.
What an album to have as my 100th album on this site! After a second listen, it finally clicked. These guys really are the foundation of so much modern music. The chemistry on this album is just unreal. McCartney’s bass lines are out of this world, Lennon’s voice has that raw power, Ringo’s is a drummer (the cutest), and Harrison’s guitar work is quietly brilliant. Starting with "Come Together" do I even need to say it? One of the greatest songs ever made. That bass line will be the first thing I learn when I pick up a bass. "Something" is a perfect follow-up. "Maxwell’s Silver Hammer" isn’t really my thing, but I can respect it for what it is. "oh! Darling" Has great raw vocals (makes me think of "I'm in love with my car" from Queen. What really hit me is how seamlessly each song flows into the next. Abbey Road was clearly built to be experienced as a full album, not just a collection of tracks. Not suprising results but one of the best albums in any genre. 10/10.
If Sgt. Pepper was the Beatles pushing pop music to its psychedelic limits, Abbey Road is them birthing entire genres from a much lower key concept. This is the birth of indie rock and pop, from long suites of music chopped into bite sized chunks to hints of metal and some absolute chamber classics. It’s an odd duck because it’s far more cryptic and a little lackadaisical compared to their other work. But maybe that’s why it feels like such killer and no filler. It’s probably my favorite Beatles album and still stands alone as one of their most unique and standalone works.
Will always be bias towards Beatles
Listening to Abbey Road for the first time and I can see why it is considered one of the greatest albums of all time.
A perfect and iconic album, and it’s not even their best!
Day 157 Such an influential album, every track is amazing. (4.5/5)
True classic
Incredible album some incredible songwriting psychedelic
Definitely an album I can dance to but didn't have the time to understand all the lyrics so I will listen to again
7/10
let’s start with the album cover! i like it a lot, the colours are nice and i like how they are walking on a zebra crossing. surely this is the most iconic album cover yet ! the music is not really my style it’s very storytelling and quick (quicker then my music taste) my favorite song is Her Majesty because, it’s a slower song and more whimsy. i enjoyed this album.⭐️ 6/10
rating: 2/5 what a way to start this..... this album mostly just made me wish i was listening to led zeppelin. mid highs and low lows but in all honesty, it wasnt as bad as i thought. i kinda liked about a quarter of the songs and hated the other ones. i cannot get over the beatles sheep sounding ahhh harmonies but this album actually had less of that than i thought. overall just mid, not my thing my ranking, with everything above come together added to my playlists: i want you something oh darling golden slumbers come together the end you never give me all my money she came through the bathroom window carry that weight polythene pam sun king mean mister mustard because her majesty here comes the sun octopus garden maxwells silver hammer come together - fine something - quite nice actually maxwells silver hammer - this is exactly what i think of when i think of the beatles, just hate it oh darling - hate those sheep sounding beatles ahhhs but actually goes kinda hard halfway through octopus garden - just awful, some parts actually okay, i like the chord progression but that chorus is so horrible it ruins it all i want you, shes so heavy - yeah this is good, love the time sig change, quite vibey here comes the sun - yeah no not for me, like half the reason i made not liking the beatles part of my personality because - no thanks you never give me all your money - incredibly mid sun king - what is happening mean mister mustard - what is happening?? polythene pam - what is happening??? but it sounds better than the previous two she came through the bathroom window - why arent these 4 songs one big song that wouldve been so much better, this ones the best so far i think golden slumbers - beautiful song but i dont like his voice, always love covers of this one though carry that weight - yeah just waiting for this album to be over at this point, plus for the brass section and mini guitar solo but overall a no the end - i wish it was, but alas, this is fine ig but just not that interesting to me, points for the guitar solo her majesty - never been happier something lasted only 25 seconds
Fun and progressive album.
Abbey Road is a great album, the side B medley is a brilliant, seamless suite that feels like a grand farewell. Yet, it remains overshadowed by three earlier albums: Revolver, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and The “White” Album. Abbey Road is a listenable and beautifully produced Beatles record. Essential, masterful, and deeply satisfying, just not quite the pinnacle.
Beatles album 4 of 7. Oof. This is a LOT for a non-fan. Well, I can definitely hear how influential this wound up being on the music industry for the past 56 years, but... honestly, I didn't enjoy the experience. This was a listen for educational purposes only. I'm just glad I got this over with. I'm past the Beatles halfway point barely over a year in, hooray!
There is not enough stars. Best album ever.
Absolute masterpiece.
Excellent album. I Want You is phenomenal. George Harrison’s two songs stand out amongst the rest. Really all around great. Could do without Maxwell’s Silver Hammer and Octopus’ Garden. But they’re not awful.

I’m not a huge Beatles fan, but this is a really good album, just not one I find myself reaching for to listen to very often. I do really love Golden Slumbers / Carry That Weight, and this relisten also made me realize how many other bands I listen to likely drew sound inspiration from certain types of Beatles songs, which is cool
Classic British rock album, interesting that they included different takes to highlight to subtle differences
The last third of this album is one of the greatest things in the universe.
I mean, it’s Abbey Road.
Some bangers. Because is unbeatable and George Harrison's songs are superb.
A pretty disparate collection of tracks, doesn't really hang together well. Its mostly good with some great, but also some not so good.
Never been a fan of the Beatles, and I am familiar with this album already.
Possibly the best album ever.
Old music is old
C'est un classique, et ça a ses raisons de l'être.
Blows my mind that people hate Octopus' Garden, what a fun song. Anyways it's hard to rate albums this famous. I've heard the hits from this album about a million times growing up, so I can't really look at them objectively. That being said I was pleasantly surprised to notice the use of Moog synthesizers that I never picked up on as a kid, neat to hear electronic experimentation by a band that's worshiped by the kinds of people who hate electronic music, lol. It's always done in a tasteful way and is never overbearing or gimmicky. The drums throughout are amazing, especially on songs like 'Bathroom Window'. The mixing is beautiful, all the songs feel incredibly lush. The medley was mesmerizing to listen to. Also pretty poetic that the last two songs the Beatles ever made feel like echos of their early career, with The End starting off as more straightforward pop rock and Her Majesty being an unabashed lighthearted love song. I genuinely can't really find anything to criticize, I mean even Maxwell's Silver Hammer is weird in a funny way and not an annoying way (at least to me). Just a really pleasant album.
awesome
Dog it's Abbey Road, everyone knows this is a Certified Banger. Like, come on. Top to bottom, bangers all the way through. Personal favourite of mine being Maxwell's Silver Hammer, which I know is offbeat, but still. Only giving it a 4 though because that's reserved for the things I personally really, really like.
What the hell?! First John Lennon then George Harrison and now The Beatles?! One after another (although I did have Queen’s A Night At The Opera last night as an epic break!) now that’s not very random… What a classic! Even though it wasn’t planned, there’s no way they could have ended their career any other way than with this, their last recording, ending on a high! What an epic journey highlighting the strengths of each member of the band. Some of the material here is still as fresh and original as it was back then. Damn, this really does prove how some examples of music can be way ahead of its time and beyond!
Abbey Road is one of the rare albums that doesn’t feel anchored to its era. Where so many records on this 1001 list come across as “great for their time,” this one still lands as simply great. The songwriting is on another level entirely. Harrison delivers two of the strongest tracks in the Beatles’ whole catalog, Lennon hits peak cool on “Come Together,” and McCartney somehow turns a collection of fragments into a seamless, absorbing medley. What stands out most is how effortlessly the whole thing holds together. The production still sounds pristine, the melodic ideas are ageless, and nothing requires historical context to appreciate. These are songs that work in any decade. It’s an easy five stars. Timeless, beautifully made, and a reminder of what it looks like when a band reaches a level most never touch once.
#205/1001. At the moment this is the top rated Beatles album on this list (for some reason I thought it was Rubber Soul) and shares the top spot with the same score as Fleetwood Mac (Fleetwood Mac? Really?). Since I don't own this but three copies of Sgt. Pepper my view on it is perhaps a bit incomplete - common math says I've listened to Sgt. Pepper 300% more. Something in the way the album works as a whole is interesting - some of the songs individually don't really strike me, but as a medley McCartney's (and Lennon's) snippets of Granny music work out great. The two Harrisongs are great, and Come together is the best song with that name (sorry Annie, Spiritualized, Primal Scream etc.) and perhaps even the greatest song ever. Still I miss something, don't know what. Or perhaps it is Maxwell.
Its more beatles!! Great but I like there other albums better
If I was given one wish, it would be to travel back in time to the day this album came out. Every. single. track. Is as relevant today as it was Yesterday...sorry, I had to. This is the soundtrack to my high school years. Favourite tracks are Come Together, obviously Here Comes The Sun, and Through the Bathroom Window. All of them are pretty damn great.
8 This is my fave Beatles album and I love love love all the stories and everything that’s attached to it and I feel very connected to so much of this music and I love how it has songs as pretty as golden slumbers and also songs as daft as maxwells silver hammer and and and it’s so good!!
One of the greats, but unfortunately has a few songs that lose my interest
I'm a monster. Reminds me of the movie yesterday.
Wildly diverging opinions and reactions to this album. I mean it's so obviously totally incredible and beyond 99.9% of anything else on this project. BUT it has Maxwell's / Octopus / Polythene etc so it's so not perfect as such. BUT the highs are just so good and at the end of the day it works so well as a complete article. Simply breathtaking... and therefore incredibly sad of course as it was the Beatles last proper release.
In my early twenties I found the "1" greatest hits album amongst their CD collection. For one summer I loved The Beatles and then I never really went back. I enjoyed this album but it hasn't ignighted that love for them again. Obviously the cover art is iconic now. I will await more Beatles albums to see if that love comes back.
I genuinely believe this night be the best album ever made.
Best ever
An album for a six year olds birthday party. Silver hammers, octopuses garden, brass bands playing oompah music. That's not LSD, that's just childish
This album is GOATed.
If and when I expect my life to end I want Abbey Road playing on a loop until I expire.
Pretty nice album
Nope over rated
One of the best ever 5/5
10 out of 10 no noted
jednostavno ne razumijem... a htio sam da mi se svidi, mislio sam da ako išta od njih valja, onda je to ovo. krenimo redom, prve dvije stvari potpuno zaboravljive ("come together" i "something"), potom ide najbolja pjesma na albumu ("maxwell's silver hammer", nešto što tu i tamo poslušam). zatim bezvezna i trunku naporna "oh, darling!". onda ide neloša pjesma "octopus's garden", nakon koje ide "she's so heavy", o kojoj sam čuo svašta, mahom same pohvale. no pjesma je lenonovo naporno i nesnosno zavijanje i bluz izdrkavanje. i to je kraj prve strane. drugu stranu otvara "here comes the sun", još jedna u stvari meni dobra pjesma, ali u konačnici ništa posebno. zatim "because", posebno bezvezna, čime počinje niska manje-više povezanih pjesmuljaka koji u svojem uglavnom kratkom trajanju ništa ne postignu i završe. i to je to...? ne razumijem. odsad ulažem nade u bijeli album koji će mi valjda valjati. ne znam. sve u svemu ovo je teško razočaranje i zbog toga je dvojka
This one has the best Ringo song, therefore it's the best Beatles Album.
Until today I have never listen to this entire album front to back. I have, of course, heard most of these song aplenty of times, but never in context. This has been long hyped as “the best Beatles album” and that reputation somewhat kept me away for one reason or another. Same reason I have never seen The Godfather. I understand it now. George is the best Beatle. The medley is amazing. This album sounds crispy clear. I still think Revolver is the best album by them. That opinion is subject to change on any given day.
Definitely a great album, but there’s just something about the Beatles that I don’t fully enjoy
I don't get the Beatles. It's just so simple, and their songs aren't that catchy. This record was better than some of the other albums this stupid project has forced me to hear, but I promise you that no one needs to listen to 7 albums of this boring shit before they die.
Holy smokes, what an album! Come Together opener sets the tone then to the classic Something. Side one is fantastic even with the "granny music" of Maxwells Silver Hammer, it shows their range. Side 2 starts with Here Comes the Sun then into Because! Great start to both sides. Then a Paul dis-track You Never Give Me Your Money, Allen F'n Klein man! This album is fantastic, so many styles and influences, it is a masterpiece. Go buy a vinyl copy and enjoy!
A great one!
For a moment, I though I might have to give this four stars because Maxwell's Silver Hammer is so bad, but the end medley as well as, "Come Together" and I want you (She's So Heavy)" mean it has to be a five. Well done, Beatles!
Possibly the best ending sequence of tracks on any album
It’s mid. Only highlight for me was here comes the sun.
Really fun listen, great all the way through. Great flow and listen as an entire experience. Really enjoyed this.
No skips ... Great record.
Classic
Stands the test of time. 10/10 music
Que dire de plus sur Abbey Road...
Dans mon top 3 des Beatles, après Rubber Soul et Revolver. Appréciation particulière des gros jam, le début de ce qu'on voit aussi sur let it be et le fameux rooftop concert. Ce qui me marque aujourd'hui sont les lignes de basse. McCartney a décidé qu'il allait pas rester en second plan comme player sur celui-ci.
Clairement le meilleur compositeur c’est George et il le prouve ici! Sinon I want you qui fini en gros jam c’est nice. Je casse du sucre sur le dos de Ringo mais finalement je ne suis pas capable de m’enlever de la tête Octopus Garden!
It's been a good while since I've listened to this album - I remember really liking it when I was younger but cooling on it as I got more into Rubber Soul and Revolver. There's some really fantastic tracks here though. Come Together is as cool as I remember, whilst I Want You (She's So Heavy) goes harder than I remember. Still a couple of tracks I'm not totally sold on like Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Octopus' Garden but they still benefit from some really great production. Side A is probably stronger for individual songs, but I do really like the way Side B is sequenced into these multi-track runs that flow from one to another. Gives the second side a very different feel, which I appreciated.
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
Might be their best
This polished rock album blends warm harmonies, meticulously layered instrumentation, and seamless transitions as if it were serving a rich dessert sampler of late-era creativity, yet to me it lands like a once-celebrated confection now overly glazed—impressive in craft but so self-satisfied it sticks to the palate.
I’m going to carry that weight. Some of the less famous songs are the better ones. Good album overall.
It’s Abbey Road by the Beatles. 10/10
I don't think this is the best Beatles album, obviously great but quite a few lesser Beatles track here. Comparatively speaking. Still its much better than Fleetwood mac. 4.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes: 32/122 (25%) Will I get? No
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
Les Beatles quoi… album bien cool ! Des bangers, je crois que je ne l’avais pas écouté en entier
Un classique! 5/5
gotta hand it to em, der er ikke noget at sætte en finger på her
Supergod, men altså, nok kun den 5. bedste Beatles plade der har været på listen indtil videre! (Hot take?)
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
Makes me feel like I'm in AP Art again. If the songs didn't weren't so repetitive and I didn't hate their voices, the instrumentals would be SO GOOD.
peak
wow i think they might've done something here
Embarrassed to admit that I had no idea that the Beatles wrote a few of the songs I was familiar with. A better listen than I expected.
It’s cool.
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.
Faixa favorita: Something Letra favorita: “She's so good-looking, but she looks like a man” - Polythene Pam Como me senti: fresca, relaxada Resumo geral: Um rock-pop bem acabado, cheio de melodias bonitas e momentos marcantes. Alterna entre brincadeira, ternura e experimentação. Reação pessoal: Eu me surpreendi. Gostei bastante do álbum. É atemporal, e isso já quer dizer muita coisa.
Como gigantes da música, é impossível dizer que Abbey Road é um album ruim. Muito pelo contrário, o álbum prova a razão pela qual os beatles dominaram o mundo da música durante a década de 60. Impossível ser um ouvinte de música e nunca ter sido tocada por alguma das músicas do álbum, como o forte exemplo da Here Comes the Sun. Contudo, assim como um museu cheio de lindas obras de arte, o impacto delas não é minimamente desvalorizado pelo gosto do público que a aprecia, assim como o espectador não é obrigado a se conectar a obra pelo valor que ela tenha. Faixa Favorita: I want you (She's so Heavy)
Zuhause, Gerstetten, Deutschland. Gut Gut.
126/1089 Naturally this is a pretty good album, it has no standout bad tracks and even as someone who’s not into the Beatles, it was enjoyable. Here Comes The Sun, Come Together, Because, I Want You and Sun King were my favourites. I quite like the medley and the way it keeps the pace moving in the second half. a high 3 stars for me 69/100
So a friend of mine enjoys the beatles. He told me to go in with an open mind and try and pick out things I like. I liked the ones that weren't pop drivel. Octopuses Garden was fun as one Hammer one. Here Comes the Sun is better done by Richie Havens. Seriously go look up any of the ones he has done far superior to the version on this album. So is Come Together, all the covers of that are better than the one on this album. It's not to say the beatles suck. Historically speaking they moved music forward far more than the sum of their discography. I don't know why they were as popular to this day, but I do appreciate what they did for music. Also John Lennon is still a pretentious wanker. George and Ringo are great and Paul is alright.
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.
Key line and ultimate message of the whole album is “and in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make”. It doesn’t really matter if you have appalling granny dreck such as Maxwell’s Silver Hammer because you have pearls like Come Together, Something, Here Comes The Sun and the ingenious, exquisite near side-long medley to more than make up for it. Beatles are probably the best band ever and they really do go out on a fantastic high here having never sounding better. Every non Maxwell’s Silver Hammer detail of it is so iconic n lush and certifiably classic. I should really be rounding this up to 5 even with the Maxwell’s Silver Hammer monstrosity. Unfortunately the vocal shredding, Blueberry Hill copping Oh Darling is a bit too cheesy and grating as well. 4.5 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.
Okay.
I don't care for the beatles. I generally think they're mid. I was thus expecting to give this album a 1 or 2 at best. I was pleasantly surprised by a few songs, but most were forgettable as I expected. The kind of songs you put on and forget you are listening to after a few minutes. Favs: Octopus' garden, I want you so heavy & the End.
The ultimate example to me of a bad good album. There's nothing wrong with it, but nothing pulled me in. I get why that is, I know that I hear nothing new because everyone has been copying the Beatles and this album. That doesn't suddenly make it good for me though. I would recommend this, I personally got bored about halfway through though.
I don't think there is any denying that The Beatles were one of the biggest influences on music for decades, but having written that, I've never been a big enough fan to ever purchase any of their albums or even to listen to a whole album in one sitting. I've basically heard just their music which was played on the radio; some of which I liked and some of which I didn't. If I never hear "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" again, I'm totally fine with that as that was the worst song for me. Best song is harder to choose as I've always liked, "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun". I do think some of the songs are just kind of silly like, "Maxwell"s Silver Hammer" and "Octopus's Garden". I could have done without the very long medley of songs also.
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.
6/10 - probably the best Beatles album I've heard to date, still overrated if you ask me but I can see the appeal if you grew up to this
Amazing songs that are surrounded by complete garbage circus tunes
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.
Good album. Come together is such a timeless banger.
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
Takes me back to the days walking down the road, crossing the street in a white suit while being followed by 3 stalkers. Got some good tunes on this one. 7 bugs out of 10 garden goblins
Besser als befürchtet
Grandioses Album!
Because the sky is blue It makes me cry
Boring 1/5
Es ist unfair, wie überragend diese Platte ist. Mein Lieblingsalbum der Band.
Something, here comes the sun, octopus’ garden all 5/5 songs. Poor George sitting on some of the best tracks from All Things Must Pass and having to record Maxwells Silver Hammer… I’d be pissed too!
i dont know why ive found it so hard to put a ranking to this one. its really good, but just lacks something to really tip it over the edge for me to really enjoy it. second favourite beatles album. i'll give it a 4; if im spending all this time worrying over it, something must have stuck with me beatles album rankings so far: 1. hard days night 2. abbey road 3. with the beatles 4. rubber soul 5. revolver 6. white album
Really great. You can hear the fact that they are breaking up in the music
I was sceptical, but the quality comes through. Album is really diverse, whimsical and performed beautifully. Songwriting on the highest level, you can feel the emotions and the band seems to have a lot of fun playing it. Lyrics could be written today, they stand the test of time great. And the base line is so strong!
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.
The first Beatles album to come up for me on this list and I know a lot of them are already 5s, so I am definitely a fan. But… Abbey Road is not the best Beatles album. Perhaps their most overrated though. Patchy. Production is good though.
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
This album has a floor on how low it can get rated due to the strength of several songs, but it isn't that tight and has some real meh moments. A classic for a reason and has a history and importance all its own, but it's not a 5/5 and they have better albums.
I really don't like Maxwell's silver hammer or I Want You(She's So Heavy), but I don't hate a bit of the whimsical Octopus's Garden. George Martin makes this album shine. Come Together, Something and especially Here Comes the Sun make this album unsinkable. The fusion of skiffle, British dance hall, American rock, blues and country. The Beatles manage to sound progressive and like "...[music] for the grannies to dig"
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.
Not bad, for a Beatles album
Mixture of nonsense, forgettable tracks and a couple of decent ones
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.
some popular songs, some ok songs
Classic
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.
I love the cover, iconic
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.
6/10 - Maxwell Silver Hammer is tripe.
10
Honestly I expected more from this album. The Beatles are very good, I won't say they aren't, but most of the album was completely average. Listenable, but very much background music to me.
not the best beatles
This is the first time I've really enjoyed a Beatles record on first listen. Have I finally become cultured?
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
This is... not so good? The tracks are all over the place, there's no coherence whatsoever, the screaming is just bad, and I have no idea why this is hailed as a good record?
Right.
pirate reference
4.5 stars. One of their best.
A classic with one or two songs I could do without but at its best moments this is hard to beat 5*
Awesome album.....
It's good and the highs are some of the great tracks but I think this is where the different styles/interests of each Beatle start to show as a weakness rather than a strength, this stops it being particularly cohesive. Same on Revolver, Sgt Peppers, White Album to be fair but I think this is more of a strength there. They battle for attention on the first two and on the White Album they give all the different styles room to breathe over the length of a double album. Now it just feels jarring especially on the a-side where each song doesn't flow at all. Despite this the tracks themselves are pretty fantastic.
Either the most profound, groundbreaking song you’ve ever heard or nonsensical British children’s music
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)
I know lots of Beatles songs but not which album they belong to. Abney Road has a great mix but includes a few tracks that don’t do it for me. I understand it’s special for the context as well as the music. So 4/5 feels right
4,25
First half is a little quirky, but the second half, starting from Here Comes the Sun, is so good
As good as it gets.
highlights: maxwell's silver hammer, here comes the sun, golden slumber its the beatles what can i say album quality drops off halfway and some songs are grating
I think I've made it clear to my friend how indifferently I feel about The Beatles on many occasions (just to be that guy) and having to relisten to this album again invoked exactly the same feelings. Yeah, I get that they were very influential, and interesting, and ground-breaking - I just don't really like the music that much. It's very different to the kind of music I normally listen to as well. This relisten just confirms what I already thought after the initial skim-through, the first full listen, the second full listen, and now this third listen - I'm not a beatles guy. I'm going to keep the 3/5 rating despite feeling like it could be moved down to a 2.5/5, since it's still done well enough, I guess.
An almost perfect finale (I can’t get with “Maxwell’s”). Feels like a celebration of all their collective power; everyone gets to take a bow. Every time they reach the end of the Long Medley and crescendo with “Carry That Weight”, I get slightly choked up because this was The End, for one of the greatest bands in history, and you can feel them feeling it too. A grand curtain call with a tinge of sadness.
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.
Too old. Some classic hits
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.
Second Beatles album in three days and after their second one last time, glad to get a later album. Interesting to read it’s place in their disbanding and what a classic… First thoughts, two tracks in, what a fucking masterpiece! Little drop off for Maxwells hammer and Oh Darling, but I’ll let it slide. Maybe I least like Paul’s songwriting.. One thing that surprised me about this album (first time listening all the way through - I know!) is the variety through all the songs. Maybe due to fall outs and different directions, but so at odds with 45 minutes of the same Beatles sound all the way through on other albums. Like ‘I Want You’ - amazing madness. And the ending!!! And then straight into the light and love of ‘Here Comes The Sun’. WTF. Love it. Going to just fall short of 5 stars but bloody epic. Listened to it multiple times and will come back to it again (4.5)
Yeah ok, I actually get this one. Really nice. Great range. No wonder everyone goons to the Beatles.
Brilliant
Początek chyba lepszy albo straciłem koncentrację. Takie na 4. Lepsze niż starzy beatlesi.
It was good and even sorta calming. A lot of the songs were bangers but they are kinda repetitive.
I understand the cultural significance of The Beatles, but they're just not for me.
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.
One of the best ever. Just not one of my favorites ever so ya get a 4
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
3.5 (4 side) I'm giving it a 4 mostly because it's one of the most known albums of all times. I greatly prefer Rubber Soul which is a controversial pick as best Beatles album. I think Abbey Road general captures that spot due to 1.) A much better title - Rubber Soul (a nod at sole and something blah blah) 2.) A much better cover - one of the most iconic photos in history. I dislike the Rubber Soul cover shot from underneath and the bubble font 3.) timing - Beatles were at their peak Still almost everyone would agree great album
This has some fantastic songs. It has a bit of rubbish. Its The Beatles.
i don’t get it i like Here Comes The Sun (basic answer)
First time listen for me. Never been that big of a Beatles fan but wow, loved it. Absolutely fantastic.
engraçado que esse é absurdamente bom mas tem a música que eu mais odeio dos Beatles xd
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!!
As someone who's not a fan of the Beatles, this was not bad.
Best Song: Oh! Darling. Perhaps the best vocal performance in the entire Beatles oeuvre. It perfectly pulls off that desperate, yearning quality in the lyrics. It truly feels like he's begging to be taken back. Worst Song: Maxwell's Silver Hammer. Ooh they do a hammer noise, how quirky. Overall: A great, albeit weird album. For every brilliant, genre-defining track, that is performed with precision and passion you also get some inane meme song that feels like it was written as the theme for a 60s children's television character. Why must I wander through the Octopus's garden on the way on the way to Something?
Classic but not hugely loved by me.
Probably my favorite Beatles album

Beatles slap, this album slaps, however d’angelo died today so he will get today’s spotlight x Voodoo gets 5/5 FTW
Not a Beatles fan but I get it
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
It’s a good album but I wished it would have come to me later in my journey of listening to albums. I was trying to think of a good setting to listen to the full album front to back and work was not it.
Mye rart og interessant her, men må nok høre flere runder før det skikkelig setter seg. Dog jeg vil høre gjennom de gangene, så det er lovende. Ville høre hver sang.
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.
Songs: Something, Here comes the Sun, The End
Not their best, yet good.
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.
BORING
Belle découverte des deux chansons de Ringo Starr et George Harrison
super
YES This is my favorite Beatles album
Not my favorite from them. 3 stars.
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
Honestly, it sucks. The album is overhyped for what it was (band’s last album), but when separated from the context, it sucks.
Love
Great
My favorite album of all time
Perfection
Solid but not spectacular Beatles album. It’s consistently good, even the Ringo song ain’t that bad. Come Together is way ahead of its time. Here Comes the Sun is iconic, almost feels like a children’s nursery rhyme. I Want You goes to some cool places. Fave Tracks: Come Together, I Want You (She’s So Heavy), Here Comes the Sun, Sun King, Carry That Weight 4.2/5
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.
It’s overplayed but I can’t deny the impact and influence of this album. And yes, it’s their best although I don’t subscribe to greatest album is all time chatter. But this is still a solid album.
