Abbey Road

One of the best by one of the best

No words. The best album ever!

This is arguably The Beatles at their best. What’s not to love. The harmonies, the experimental textures, and great songwriting. The arguments about which is the best Beatles album will go on forever but this has to be in the conversation.

Icónico.

And in the end.... no one knew at the time, apart from the individual members of The Beatles, that it was over. Walls went up, walls came down, options were explored and roads became long and winding. There were, of course, turmoil, turbulence and tension but, given who The Beatles were and what they represented, the belief that all would be resolved and that things would be rosy for eternity was still a given. It would cease to be, obviously, but not before they handed the listening public one final masterpiece; the album that may very well now be the most ubiquitous Beatles record, Abbey Road. Its indefatigable nature, mixed with soaring leaps in sound and substance, is what keeps Abbey Road popular year after year. It also has the Fab Four coalescing into its final forms as they branch out into their individualistic journeys; Beatle John mixing realism and surrealism into a potent package, Beatle Paul keeping things light with whimsy and oftentimes surprising gusto, Beatle George crossing the bridge and never looking back as the world finally caught up with his most indelible songs yet and Beatle Ringo marking his territory with his irrepressible reliability. It may have been the end of the road, knowing what we know now, but in a lot of ways it was just as much a beginning, for The Beatles had done all that there was to do. It's just the music now that lasts forever. Abbey Road is testament to that.

Not to be cliché here, but this is a 5 Star record. What can you say? Once you get to the medley, you have to admit the lads are cooking. It is a capital A album, with repeated motifs and a real feeling to it.

Apsolutna i najveća na svijetu petica!! 🫶🏻🌈 Nema se tu puno što reći, jedan od najvećih albuma u povijesti. 5/5, 10/10

Best Beatles album by far

Another one from this obscure band no one has ever heard of? Great! Another solid outing from these guys, they look to have a bright future if they can keep this up!

On devrait prendre un moment collectif pour apprécier la minime chance qu’on a eu d’avoir cet album mythique. Pas mal sûr que dans 99% des autres univers parallèles, les gars ont démanteler le band avant la fin de Let It Be. Donc, merci les boys pis bonne fête Ringo (avec kek jour de retard, pardon my french)!

An absolute masterpiece. This album is beautiful and amazing, made more so by knowing it was the last album they worked on together. Paul's bass lines are stellar as always, and never more iconic than in the album's opening notes with "Come Together." The album features George's best composition in "Something" and most popular in "Here Comes the Sun." It also contains perhaps Ringo's best composition in "Octopus's Garden" (I would also accept "Good Night" as a worthy answer for him). And then there's "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," which is maybe the earliest heavy metal song. The droning riff at the end with the harmonies on HEAVY are astounding to this day and just an exceptional example of how influential they were on genres that didn't even exist yet. The second half medley has an epic musical theater quality to it and is legendary on its own. This is just an amazing and rewarding album by a group of musicians who would never again be able to let another musician be the star over them. It's incredible that the Beatles lasted this long together. They feel more like a supergroup that gets together as an event or even as a gimmick than a group with the insane level of individual artistry they had and we are all so lucky they collaborated as long as they did. There's a reason the Beatles fascinate the masses to this day and that their popularity has endured for generations.

Impossible not to enjoy this album.

There doesnt exist a *perfect* Beatles album because they always throw in at least one thats a bit rubbish but this is as good as they come

I mean c’mon

no need to listen, i know it's an all-time album and one of their best

I am a mere mortal. Maxwell is the only bum note on possibly the greatest Side 1 of all time. I didn't think much of the medley format on Side 2, but more than anything I wouldn't care to live in a world without Come Together, Octopus's Garden, or I Want You/She's So Heavy.

Rubber Soul has always been my #1, but maybe I'm an Abbey Road girly after all. I love the combination of serious and playfulness in the songwriting. And the serious found in the playfulness and vice versa. Nothing I would skip - only songs I'd keep on playing.

Golden Slumbers is my favorite 90 seconds of Beatles

And I tried to find flaws

I want to tell her that I love her a lot but I gotta get a belly full of wine

Fantastic

Like yeah obviously it’s 5 stars

It's difficult to write about The Beatles in general, but a particular challenge to say something new about Abbey Road, which may very well be their finest moment: their clearest, most wide-awake record, a conclusion but no less a beginning, their best produced and their least self-conscious. It almost feels as if the band could finally relax, perhaps knowing that it was all coming to an end, but also b/c they went thru the necessary labor pains involved in creating Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's, and The White Album, brilliant works of art but notably self-aware. It has two of the great Beatles songs, the Harrison-masterstrokes, it has Ringo's most memorable and inventive drumming, Paul's maturest songwriting, and Lennon as a soulful backdrop.

I know the Beatles haters are going to show up here, but let’s be real. This is one of their best albums, recorded at a time when the band was falling apart. Somehow, they put all that aside and made something incredible. George Harrison absolutely shines. “Something” is the best love song ever written in my opinion, and “Here Comes the Sun” is one of the most universally loved songs in their catalog. Those two tracks alone are better than most bands’ entire careers. The second side medley is just plain fun. It jumps between ideas like a musical collage, but it works. It’s catchy, weird, beautiful, and somehow flows perfectly. “Oh! Darling” is Paul’s throwback to doo-wop and soul, and John’s “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” digs into darker, heavier territory that hints at early prog rock. George also invited Billy Preston to sit in during the Let It Be sessions, and you can hear how much that paid off here. His keyboard playing gives the album extra texture and personality. This isn’t just a great Beatles album. It’s one of the best albums of all time.

For me a 5/5 is an album that I would listen to almost all of the tracks individually and this gets there for me. Not only that, but listening as a whole album has such a wonderful flow. I know almost all these songs by heart and love to sing them/play them on my instruments. I can't even pick favourites because it would be practically the whole album!

This was an amazing album to listen to! It’s honestly crazy that I recognize so many of these songs on the album having not exclusively listened to the Beatles. It flowed so well for an album and the whole experience was just smooth sailing and each piece seems to build off of the other. I can clearly see where the Lemon Twigs get some of their sounds from. :)

Lowkey a pretty decent album

Godly

I loathe the Beatles. The two main reasons? 'Her Majesty' and 'Dizzy Miss Lizzy'.

In just 47 minutes The Beatles deliver some of their greatest hits, Harrison’s finest songwriting, the most memorable medley in history and also inadvertently creates doom metal - huh?! Perfect album from the iconic opening of “Come Together” until the grand finish of “The End”. Perfection. Then there’s also “Her Majesty”.

Outstanding. The cover alone earns it a 5!

A strong contender as any for the title of "greatest album of all time". Each Beatle brought at least one strong track to this album, and almost everything on here would be the best song ever written by any other artist. Their musicianship is also display here with intricate bass, guitar, and drum parts throughout. Yes "Maxwell's Silver hammer" is a clunker but the rest is so good that I can forgive it. Finally, we need to acknowledge how impressive the medley is. Every time I reach "Golden Slumbers" I'm in awe. The Beatles knew it was over and said Goodbye in the most impressive wait they could. Just an excellent finale from the greatest group to ever do it.

cmon its literally ABBEY ROAD 10/10

Nice try 1001 Generator, nice try. I'm foolish but not foolish enough to think I have anything to add to the endless number of words already said about this utterly flawless album. It's one of the best albums by the best band that ever was or ever will be. 5/5? Nah. This one gets my highest ratings- tits out, ladies and gents, tits out.

Incredible start to finish album. The album that introduced me to the Beatles and listening to every album from front to back…

Incredible album. One of the greatest, if not THE greatest B-sides ever recorded. Every song is incredible. The easiest 5 stars I've given so far.

5.0/what an amazing album. one of my favorite albums, actually. i love the sun king and the switch into she came in through the bathroom window is truly glorious. vinyl in collection.

My favourite album: perfect

Too good. Replayed many times and don’t wanna move on. Love all songs.

The Beatles were big believers in listening to and creating music in album form. Abbey Road is arguably the most well known album/album cover and I don’t think many people question its legacy or impact so without even digging into it pretty deep it’s a safe 5. I am at this point well through my Beatlemania phase, so listening to this album now is increasingly nostalgic and less of me being amazed at it as a work of art. I still think it is, but after 20+ listens and as many years, I listen to it differently now. I think about the 55 years of musical and cultural influence this album has had. I’m not 17 anymore so I no longer feel like I understand the Beatles on a deeper level than most, and like many, many people I went through a Beatles phase pretty early on in my musical journey. So at this point I’m not smug about them, but I kind of feel like a grandfather or a teacher who is both proud and amused by a young person’s fascination with a topic I am well versed on. It’s hard for me to separate what is special about this album in terms of musicality and my own memories because it was a foundational part of my budding appreciation for music.

Reading some of the history about this album is so fascinating. It’s so interesting that John was more interested in a traditional album (side A) and Paul was really pushing for the interconnected “suite” (side B) and that division really contributed to them breaking up. What’s so cool about this is that you really get the best of both worlds. The first half has some all time classics (except Maxwell’s silver hammer, wtf was up with that Paul) and then you get such a cool unique snippet of songs that have some recurring chords or melodies. Even though chronologically this is their second to last album, they actually recorded these songs after the Let It Be sessions which adds a cool aspect into the legend behind this album that I find so cool. Brief anecdote: 10 years ago, post coitus (sorry), my now wife and I would be just listening to this vinyl on repeat, trying to decipher what the hell any of the side B songs meant. But when it would get to Golden Slumbers we would both stop talking and really just take in the beauty of the song. I would imagine being able to sing this lullaby of a song to my child. I now do. Love this album.

Really can’t say much that I dislike about this album. The difference in the front half and back half of the album is really interesting and there’s a couple huge radio hits that most everyone knows. It’s not my favorite Beatles album, but it’s really hard to give this anything less than a five. Shoutout to Asheville’s own Moog Synthesizer and whatever role it might have played in breaking up the Beatles.

Coming into this album I knew that there were some major hits, but I was trying to justify to myself how I could give this a 5 star with so much extra bloat. "Come Together", "Something", "Octopus's Garden", and "Here Comes The Sun" are all 5 star songs. "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" and "Oh! Darling" are solid 4 star songs, but that still leaves 11 out of 17 songs as filler... or so I believed. The back half of this album is awesome! Once you get past the radio hits, the songs all start to flow together. It's more like one big song that they broke up into 7 or 8 parts. They change slightly, but to the point that I have to look at the track list to make sure we're onto another song. I loved it!

Stunning final statement. Shows the best elements of the band working together. Timeless songs and performances. Perfect Album.

How could you dislike the Beatles? That being said, I feel like this album could be a touch overrated.

Iconic.

It's Abbey Road. Enough said.

The hits stand out, but not as good as I remember it being when it came out.

Classic. Five stars doesn't seem like enough. Call it 5 + bonus star in my head.

I bought the vinyl! It was fun listening to all the different takes on this extended version.

Awesome

I think its easier for this album to say what you didn't like than what you did Maxwell's silver hammer is not for me. Special mention for underrated songs I love "I want you", "you never give me your money" and the stretch of under two minute songs are fantastic. Really there is a reason this is the number one album if sleet wood is at the time of writing its a travesty they are not even close.

Favorite Track: I Want You (She's So Heavy)

I really enjoy this

10/10

Not a single bad track on this album

Giles “son of George” Martin believes Abbey Road does so well on streaming because the way it was recorded means it sounds more modern than the other Beatles albums. Obviously it’s a five-star classic and there's always a degree of hair-splitting when it comes to your favourite Beatles album, but I am intrigued to know if he’s right and that’s a factor in why it’s currently rating higher than Revolver and Sgt Pepper.

tu connais deja

Sgt. Peppers isn't even as good as just the second half of this album. This is as close to perfection as it gets boys, girls and nbs. Enjoy it.

It really is a masterpiece of an album. I feel like this is a great goodbye album from the Beatles. For me, the early albums are far too much like the rest of the music from the late 50s and early 60s. The psychedelic stage Beatles gets weird, but better. Abbey Road just brings it together and was executed masterfully.

I can see the influence this album has had on music since its truly one of a kind

The album is so emotive. Every song is an experience and evokes some feeling. Really enjoyed the listen and hearing the whole album as a collection, rather than hearing the individual songs without the context of the overall journey.

Listened in the truck via YouTube music. Top two Beatles record for me. Listened many many times before and will listen many times more.

Albums pretty perfect. The second half is jaw dropping. 10/10

Perfection

As I often write, it's not my favourite Beatles album, yet it is absolutely brilliant.

almost every song is a classic, how will i be able to review this objectively? i want you is one of the best songs in the world. this album must be a 5/5.

bang bang maxwells silver hammer came down upon her head top 3 all time

Paul dogs out 🤩

Shit album

abbey road :)

Repeat listen

Not sure much needs to be said here, excellent album (although not my absolute favourite of the Beatles)

Before I turned 13 and discovered Guided by Voices and Built to Spill and Yo La Tengo, I would have called this my favourite album, my tastes informed (and my social coolness hindered) by my blind fidelity to my father's pop culture persuasion. The Beatles were the focal point of that influence. There are worse things you can instill in your kid. At 28, I spend less time with Abbey Road and the Fab Four's other greats, but it feels no less monumental to hear. I listened to Side A at work this afternoon, struck by the way Paul wails through the John-ish Oh Darling! (which also has a fair bit of Zappa pastiche in it), by the imposing nature of She's So Heavy, by the yearning in both Harrison's voice and guitar in Something, and the pang of desire and grief that charges its middle-eight, the best of the Beatles' discography. Then, on the train, I put on Side B, and felt like I heard anew the lushness of Here Comes the Sun and the magic of the Moog synth that comes into it late. And that melody, Christ. The way Paul absolutely belts through Golden Slumbers, the orchestral reprise of the You Never Give Me Your Money hook. That back-to-back-to-back run of Mean Mr. Mustard-Polythene Pam-Bathroom Window... no wonder I fell so hard for GBV. Not my favourite Beatles record, and, come on, can you -really- say that an album with Maxwell's Silver Hammer on it is perfect, but what else could this be but a five-star masterpiece?

One of my favorite albums. The run of the songs going into each other is perfect.

Literally perfect. As if aliens from the future passed down sacred knowledge to advance our appreciation for music.

One of the greatest! Excellent album

The Beatles at their absolute finest, not a single skip.

Okay, maybe I do like the Beatles a little bit. "Oh Darling" is great, as is "Come Together", and "Something". The more bluesy the Beatles get, the better, "I want you" is also really great. And "Here Comes The Sun" is also awesome. I'm pretty shocked I'm giving this five stars, but I am.

Not my personal favorite but definitely a great one

Sure, it's great, but it's so all over the map that I can't say it's better than Revolver (or Rumours).

best beatles album* *depending on what day you ask me. its this or revolver

Its fucking abbey road 5/5 (her majesty hätte man sich sparen können)

Been listening to this one since I as 10 or something. Absolutely the best.

It's Abbey Road.

Easy fiver are you kidding me. The Abbey Road Medley might be one of the most transcendent stretches of music ever recorded. And to get to it you have to go through Come Together, Oh! Darling, I Want You (Shes So Heavy), and Here Comes the Sun. Darn, what a nightmare. And the craziest thing it isn’t even the best Beatles Album (Revolver).

Absolute classic. Wow.

Oh! Darling

Best album ever made

Going through a weird phase with these albums of getting an artist I really like but for the first time so I guess I gotta say why the Beatles are so good. These songs just feel otherworldly(ly) good and unique, I still don't think anyone has come close to some of the stuff on here. The hits are insane, obviously pop hits, but with a really unique flare, like early moog synth bits on quite a lot of the songs. Lots of them creatively tell stories. I guess this is what you get when 4 once in a generation musician in a room. The Paul songs are some of the best and worst, Maxwell's silver hammer is perfectly goofy. The John song are very melancholic my this point, I had forgotten how unique Because is and captures some sort of perfect melancholy. The George Harrison songs are a bit more serious than the Paul, but are some of the best ones on here, mostly something. The octopus' garden song is also perfect in its own right. The medley thing at the end is so unique and another reason why I don't think anyone has really done this thing. I feel like all of them are also quite underrated solely as instrument players, as all of the parts feel so tight together. Absolutely no downsides, I just don't really like quite a lot of Oh! Darling, some of it is good though. Favourite songs: all of them but that I guess, my absolute favourite is I want you (She's so heavy), not only does it have one of the greatest and most interesting instrumentals, the Lennon/McCartney contrast works absolutely flawlessly here, gotta be my favourite Beatles song (maybe Nowhere man actually). Overall around 10/10

Best album by the best band. The final chop/chop/chop medley beginning with Mean Mr. Mustard Seed is as good as an album has ever been.

When I was in elementary school, we learned both “Octopus’s Garden” and “Yellow Submarine” in music class. When I taught at the same elementary school, one of my (most favorite) 4th grade students discovered to song “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” and was belting it out before she stopped midway and said “Why do those ladies want to free Maxwell?” And then pondered serial killers and their fans for a few hours. Thankfully she didn’t go down some true crime rabbit hole, though listening to her talk with her friend about the insanity that is women wanting to free a killer was pretty delightful. Anyway, this album has some great songs on it and it works really well as a whole enchilada. Maxwell’s Silver Hammer and Octopus’s Garden kinda break it for me (as does the strained singing on “Golden Slumbers”-I love that song but there are parts of to vocals that aren’t my most favorite). Overall, probably one of my favorite Beatles’ albums, even though I’ll likely not revisit it again (being etched in my brain as it is).

Seeing as you'd be hard pressed to find many legitimate sources that rank this album outside of the top 10 greatest albums, including this site where it currently sits at the top, I felt that I really had to give this one as much of my attention as I could afford it today. I was surprised to realize that I had never actually listened to this album in full until today. I think the intro tracks to the A and B sides of the album (Come Together and Here Comes the Sun) are easily the strongest tracks and they are very good outside the context of the album. The production quality is a big factor in why this album shines so bright in my book. Every song has an array of sounds that breathe life into it. I think the biggest thing that both works for and against this album is the creative differences between band members that have been documented when The Beatles were creating Abbey Road. It works in the albums favor because each song feels like it received special attention by whichever member created it. It reminds me of a high budget TV show that has a different director for each episode. Where this hurts the album in my opinion is the lack of continuity. In terms of themes, characters, and sound styles it is kind of all over the place including some awkward cuts between songs. This feels especially the case on the B "medley" side. I would give Abbey Road a 4.5 if I could because even the tracks that I don't love, I still enjoyed. But since I can't I will round it up to a 5 on cultural significance alone.

A classic

Actually a great album, must buy

Brilliant

Well it’s the album of all time

All around a great mix of music. Love the variation. Favorite might be Golden Slumbers

excellent record

This album is outrageous. I'm not really a Beatles superfan, and I find some of their stuff a bit dated, but man, listening to this album it's sorta crazy how often you catch a song, or a bit of a song, and realise that such and such band took that part of a song, extrapolated it, and made an entire career for themselves out of that one part. The influence of this one album has shaped the entire modern western music industry. Not only that, it has the absolutely joyful "Here comes the Sun" on it, perhaps the Beatles best track in my opinion. Absolutely deserving of the hype.

One of the easiest ratings I’ll have to do, iconic album.

One of my favorite classic bands ever. Loved every part of this album. It was fun and had me singing and dancing at my desk. First time ever hearing Octopuses Garden and can't get it out of my head. After listening to this album I realized I need more Beetles' in my library.

Beatles are goats

Iconic album. Love all these songs. Ringos drumming is iconic. The song writing is just top tier. Love the Beatles

Awesome album. No average songs here, all are at least great. The beatles at their very best.

There’s nothing more to say about this one. Just listen to it.

Fantastic. The medley is legendary.

I didn’t have to listen to this one to rate it a 5. But I did anyway.

Great, classic album.

Perhaps my favorite album of all time.

What else is there to say about this album?

5/23/25. Fantastic album, love every song and can always come back to listen. Even the album cover sets the tone for how good this is.

Their eleventh album. Great album cover too! Come Together, what a start ! I love George's guitar on this and Ringo's drums. Something, just beautiful. The best love song ever? Wow George! Octopus's Garden, delightful! Here Comes The Sun, once again George flexes on this album. Oh! Darling, Paul's growling vocals! George Martin's production throughout this album is insanely perfect! Because, such a good track ! Carry That Weight and The End, what a way to go outb! This may be the best album of all time.

Maybe the best album of all time.

One of the best albums ever made. It’s on my desert island with me. It’s 7 out of 5 stars. And yet…Maxwell’s Silver Hammer is on it: one of the Beatles worst songs. That’s how good this album is. Truly wild. I’m so thankful this album exists. John didn’t like the medley. That’s why I don’t like John.

The third best album by the beatles is still a 5/5

4.5/5 I can understand why The Beatles are so popular. This was a good album. A little all over the place, but not terrible. I wouldn't say it's the best album ever, but I liked a lot of the songs on here. The album cover is so iconic though.

I’m not wasting anyone’s time trying to write something original about the Beatles.

Very familiar with the album ,so I went a little deeper on information and I still can't get over how wild it is that they disintegrated within the course of a year or so and that they were able to muster amicability to actually complete this one. John bringing Yoko to the studio in a convalescent bed is bonkers. Also, the solos in The End are so cool, Ringo on drums and then 3 lead lines played in succession by Paul, George, and John. A crazy goodbye, but makes sense. A top album for me, but I still put White Album a bit higher.

Wow

top songs: something, she's so heavy, come together, here comes the sun, oh darling, because i get it now

Abbey Road by The Beatles. What else is there to say?

🐐

One of the best albums ever objectively. As a scouser, you cannot hate the Beatles as they are everywhere in the city and this album is so fucking good.5/5

BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM ik was echt eng toevallig maxwell's silver hammer aan het luisteren, want lekker weer, toen ik ging kijken wat het album van de dag was

I have probably listened to this album more times than any other on this list (or at all). So, naturally, an obvious five stars. What a masterpiece; the medley gives me tingles all over.

Can't rate anything below five stars because of the cultural impact it had both on me and on society

i cried refreshing the webpage. i don’t even need to listen to this 10/5 5/5 whatever

One of the most iconic albums of all time. With how mainstream and recognizable some of the songs are, you forget that they are genuinely fantastic works of art - i.e. Come Together, Here Comes the Sun, Something. The medley on the second half of the album is amazing, Maxwell's Silver Hammer is the one stain on this album, if you can call it that. The most consistent Beatles album from start to finish. 10/10

favourites: Because, Octopuses Garden, Something, You Never Me Your Money, Golden Slumbers least favourites: Maxwell’s Silver Hammer

Classic innit

it's incredible to think that their last recorded album (Let it Be was recorded before) has a lot of their most famous and best songs. Listening now knowing they wouldn't make music together after that makes it even more impactful and meaningful. They all have their moment to shine (especially George's "Something") and that's why for me, this is their best album (maybe my favorite but for me objectively their best) 9,5/10 fav songs : I want you (She's so heavy) & Because. But let's be honest there are no bad songs on this record.

Oh yeah, they were Fab

Yeah this is a great album. Dreamy, jolly, harmonic, musically versatile, yada yada, all the stuff any critic would write. Or in their words: John - Ono! Paul - Experiences! George - Sun! Ringo - Octopus!

I often go long periods between listening to Beatles albums, and whenever I do listen they always sound great. Still amazed how much great music they put out in such a short time.

I don’t think it's actually my favourite, maybe because it's the first I bought and I've heard it so many times. But of course it's a classic, some of the GOAT songs ever on this.

I think this was the first Beatles record I bought (apart from the red and blue compilations). Monumental, of course. A classic.

10out of 10 for Music 10 out of 10 for Allbum. cover

10/10

YEAH this album rules. I even like (most of) the goofy songs. And any album with I Want You (She's So Heavy) AND She Came in Through the Bathroom Window [AND... many others] is hard to not be at least a 9/10. Listened to this 3 times yesterday.

Maxwells silver hammer inexplicably holds a special place in my heart. Whole album is nearly perfect. One of their best

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ listen to "the long one" on the super deluxe version because it puts her majesty in the medley and that song is soo good

Wow, I’ve always been a radio guy or just listened to random streaming playlists and stations. I’m just now starting to listen to entire albums and it was a great experience and I can see why Abbey Road is considered one of the greatest!

I'm not the biggest Beatles enjoyer, but this is very good

Try and say a bad thing about it

This album has my favorite George Harrison tracks, my favorite Ringo song, and my favorite Paul work (seeing Paul do the Abbey Road Medley live twice are core memories for me). This is a comfort album for me and it’s definitely my favorite Beatles album all around, even if that’s a boring take John’s there too I guess

Inarguably one of the greatest albums ever. Simple songs that are just forever resonant

Despite drifting in different directions, they really were firing on all cylinders musically. See Peter Jackson's "Get Back" for great behind-the-scenes footage of late-stage Beatles.

Come on now.

There isn't a thing I, or anyone on this site, could say that hasn't been said hundreds of times before. It's like trying to write about Citizen Kane. It may not have been their final release, but it was their final recorded and they went out with the biggest bang possible. The 2nd side medley is one of the best things recorded in popular music history.

One of the most legendary album cover. Maybe one day I will come to the UK and take the similar picture 😅 Anyway, legendary album, but not my fav from the Beatles

probably the greatest three song run ever in Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight and The End

Epic opening track Come Together. But what on Earth is Maxwell's Silver Hammer? Haha! Listening to this album channeled melancholy for times long gone. I enjoyed the rock'n' roll - the guitars on I Want You (She's So Heavy) were awesome and Here Comes The Sun was just beautiful... Plenty of great songs on here. Definitely a phenomenon and an experience. I really enjoyed it but the last songs of this album felt very rushed. They were all pretty short and faded into one another. As if they had to have a certain amount of songs and did not care for their respective lengths. But it still had a nice flow so I don't really care about this. What a great life to be able to listen to music.

Easy 5/5 for me. So many amazing songs on here. Definitely their best work imo. I Want You is so damn good

Yeah yeah it’s a 5. It’s obviously a marvel so I will take this time to poke holes as they come. Maxwell’s Silver Hammer is a great but definitely weaker compared to the rest. Octopus Garden is a par Phineas and Ferb song. She’s so heavy is a cool little riff and is exciting at first but then drags like nothing happens but I do like the end where they just do the riff forever. That’s all I got. Rest of it ranges from great to inoffensive. I think I’m a Paul girl with a crush on George. Worry B-Side clears.

Yeah I mean this is probably one of the easiest 5s on this list. The album highlights how versatile the band was, and how creative they can be with blending many different genres with the instruments they used. I don't remember the last time I listened to this album all the way through, but I really enjoyed it. There were a couple of songs that I was unfamiliar with, but each one had something cool and unique to it.

Nothing to add, love the medley.

Have been waiting for this one. It’s so good. The perfect mix of really lovely songs (Something, Oh Darling) and the really weird (Maxwell’s Silver Hammer, Octopus’s Garden). It starts with Come Together which is in my top 3 fav Beatles songs.

The Last Beatles recoding and what a way to go out on such a high note. Every song is a standout!

10/10

Phenomenal, this is the album I listen too most often. The second best Beatle album 😉 Starts of really groovy, “Something” is the most beautiful song and then the song continue to surprise. “Because” is so magical, John, Paul and George sung it 3 times making it a 9 voice choir. Beautiful. But the main course is the ending montage. This was their last album and they had a lot of half songs. So you take all these half ideas, mix them into a montage and you got non stop bangers flipping the style every so often. Don’t forget “Her Majesty”!!

Well. Beatles yadda yadda.

the greatest album ever made

Perfection

"Come Together" to kick it off followed by "Something" right out the gate? That alone is already a 5 right there!! But then you get so much more. I wish I could give it higher than a 5.

Beautiful

The Beatles are the Beatles

I mean, what more can I say about this? Definitely my favourite Beatles album. Absolute peak.

Amazing nothing else needed to say.

This album is so great I even love the slow ones 😋. Every sound on this album is perfect. Even Ringo's tune is perfect. Maybe the silence between I Want You (She's So Heavy) and Here Comes the Sun could be just a skosh longer, otherwise this is a perfect album. It is my favorite Beatles album. Paul's bass on Mean Mr. Mustard sounds like grunge twenty years ahead of it's time. You Never Give Me Your Money always makes me cry. Two songs begin with the words Here Comes the Sun. And that medley is top tier desert island shit. Masterpiece does not even cover it. There isn't a high enough number.

My feeble brain is not capable of describing the beauty and flow this album set as a precedent for all to follow.

Klasika, moje oblibene album od Brouku.

Just incredible songwriting. Every song is great.

Don’t usually listen to the Beatles, but that was good Songs added to playlist: Come together Oh! Darling I Want You Here Comes The Sun Because You Never Give Me Your Money Golden Slumbers Carry That Weight

92% Best: Come Together; Something; Oh! Darling; I Want You (She's So Heavy); Here Comes the Sun; The End Must-Hear? You can probably tell from the fact that this is the highest rated album in the book, that it is a Must-Hear.

What a show! Everything from Because through Carry that Weight flows seamlessly from one onto the next, leading the album back full circle. Boy, you're gonna carry that weight and you better have a belly full of wine. Not a lot of bangers (miss me with Come Together) but groovy and enjoyable (Octopus's Garden and Maxwell, underrated). 4.3

Classic, beautiful, and iconic.

Abby Road Medley rules (b-side of vinyl)

Easiest 10 of all time mastapiece

Once again a Beatles album I'd never fully listened to, I knew a lot of the songs from being a kid, but being older now I get a better appreciation for them. The pacing was odd, but because a lot of the latter songs flowed into each other it worked wall. Was a really pleasant album, really enjoyed it.

amazing album one of the best in history!

really one of the greatest albums of all time. not clean but good

5/5. No need to listen, through I listened again (2019s Remix). In my late 30s, I discovered the Beatles since a kid with the cd's from my father (past masters v1), as a teenager got access to mp3, and buy the late 80s cds.. so my reference is the stereo version from that cd's, listened on an early 90s yamaha. Amazing, this album is on the top 10 ever... "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love.. you make"

It’s all downhill from here.

Beatles magic at work, right there.

what else but a 5

There's no way this wouldn't get a full 5+. The songs are all unique and paint a colorful world. I just don't get fatigued with the Beatles.

The most streamed album of the 1960s on Spotify, and of course the highest rated album here. Recorded after the rancour of the Get Back sessions, The Beatles recover the harmony exhibited on Because. For once, the star of the album is George Harrison with two outstanding songs and introducing the Moog synthesizer to the sound of The Beatles. The rancour to come after the recording of this album sadly finished them off.

Forgot how many words I knew. Top notch Beatles, and fun to listen to the detail again. The crickets in Sun King - perfect!

Probably the most quintessential Beatles album. I knew this would be a 5 for me, but it was fun to listen again after rating a bunch of other classics from the same era. Nobody else sounded like this- this polished, this whimsy, this rock n rolling. Each song feels unique and that's exciting, especially for repeat listens - and boy, has this one been repeated. It's fun, but not kitschy. It's actually not even my favorite Beatles record, but it's probably their best.

There we go! Masterpiece. Art for the ear.

GOAT shit

Very, very good!

It’s the album wtf

5/5

Off to a good start, starts with 7 familar tracks followed by 10 more unfamiliar ones. A lot of the last tracks lead into each other, which makes the abrupt end of "I Want You" into "Here Comes The Sun" even more noticeable and jarring.

Classic of course.

This is tits

ok

Timeless, masterful. One of the great albums.

Timeless, classic, foundational to modern pop/rock. Brilliant.

Flera riktigt bra låtar. Riktig klassiker

I think the Beatles were probably the best. All their albums are awesome.

A classic. A masterpiece. Makes you want to go out and triumphantly kiss somebody as soon it ends. Even the goofy ass tracks slap

One of the great pieces of work by the Fab Four. Can’t go wrong with this one.

It's great, obviously a classic. I listen to some of these albums and get amazed that so many great songs were jammed into it. The first half is so damn good. Standout is I Want You- its an absolute jam, that i hope some dirty hippies covered on YouTube. I love listening to actual albums, but the remastered stream has such better production that unfortunately that's the superior version to listen to. I had some mean things to say, but the remaster really fixed most of that. Original/Vinyl version isn't a 5, but the remastered definitely is.

Nothing more to say than "classic." Favorite song: 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' Side B is perfect.

I love the Beatles, but everyone seems to suck this album's dick so I was a little skeptical going in. The Beatles just have this insane way of making every single song that they record so interesting and catchy.

Love, love this classic Beatles album!

The side 2 medley is still one of my favorite chillout blocks of music.

What more can I say here about this Abbey Road that hasn't already been said. The album speaks for itself in so many ways. The true "Last" album of the Beatles, with some of their most memorable and profound works. "Something" "Come Together" and "Here Comes then Sun" are all incredibly iconic songs that each feel so different. Cuts like "I want you (she's so heavy)" and "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" are just as important and memorable. The medley starting with "You Never Give Me Your Money" and finishing with "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight"!! This album does all the things I want it to, the legacy has cemented itself as an incredibly important work, and to me it's the quintessential Beatles album to introduce to anyone unfamiliar. This is the culmination of the Beatles.

Couldn't give anything less than 5. Used to play the first 2 songs on a loop when I first discovered this album. Then memorised side B. Superlatives needed

No review given due to this being outside of my critical evaluation. This is clearly a masterpiece.

This is an album that must be experienced in it's entirety as a single piece of music. An all time fave!

Classic

Music is "subjective," but as far as subjectivity goes, I think a lot of people can agree that The Beatles's "Abbey Road" is the best album of all time. In fact, some people consider "Abbey Road" to be The Beatles's final album. It is certainly the album that yielded the most hit songs, from the tender "Something," to the bright and sunny "Here Comes The Sun," to "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," clocking at 8-minutes-long with arguably the best bass-line in rock 'n' roll history. My personal favourite song(s) in the album is the final triptych: "Golden Slumbers" → "Carry That Weight" → "The End" (I do not consider "Your Majesty" its own track). "And in the end / The love you make / Is equal to the love / You take." What a beautiful ending to the best band in history.

Another Masterpiece from the Masters. Too bad it had to end shortly thereafter.

Love the Beatles, love Abbey Road. Honestly a masterclass in song writing which stands the test of time

LOVE The Beatles, LOVE this album. It slaps. That's all there is to it!

I mean there’s no wonder why this is one of if not the most famous album of all time. Not only is it so incredibly influential but also just perfect.

I think the generator has an AI plant on me as I was just listening to this obscure album yesterday. I'm sure at least half the reviews will claim that side 2 is as good as music gets, and they would be correct. Yes side 1 is pretty excellent as well (and absurdly-so if we grade against virtually every other rock album in history) although “I Want You” is probably my least-favourite Beatles song and mostly terrible (only "mostly" because listening to Billy Preston's organ is worth a listen). I’d almost rather listen to “Revolution 9” - John was such a tool; all that "granny music" and a revolutionary sense of melody was the main ingredient in what made this band. I'll almost always hit the kill switch on the turntable after "Octopus' Garden" (which I un-ironically like - I always enjoyed the playful songs interspersed with their creepy late-period songs) and flip to side 2. Collection of some of my favourite little and not-so-little gems: • Ringo's drumming on "Come Together" - the performance and the sound. • Paul's bassline on "Something" - will go to bat saying that's what turns that song from potentially boring to musical genius. • 11/8 time in "Here Comes the Sun" • The piano on "You Never Give Me Your Money" and "Golden Slumber" - always always gives me chills. • The entire medley, holy moly. A perfect send-off from the band. Sum: it's Abbey Road. Take out one song and it's perfection. 9/10 5 stars.

Hard to say this isn't a masterpiece, but I've heard all of the Beatles songs so many times I'm kinda bored of this. Still a 5

Come Together is, sonically, as good as The Beatles ever got. And Abbey Road was also as good as they ever got too.

Abbey Road is The Beatles at their most polished, playful, and quietly profound—a perfect final statement (even if it wasn’t the last released) that manages to be both a greatest hits package and something entirely new. The production is pristine, the songwriting is sharp, and the band feels united in a way they hadn’t for some time. Tracks like Come Together, Something, and Here Comes the Sun are absolute standouts, each a masterclass in mood, melody, and arrangement. George Harrison, in particular, steps fully into the spotlight here, delivering two of the most beloved songs in the entire Beatles catalog. But what really sets Abbey Road apart is Side B—the legendary medley. It’s an ambitious, seamlessly woven patchwork of song fragments and ideas that somehow fits together into one of the most satisfying musical journeys on record. It’s clever, moving, surreal, and oddly hopeful, ending with the perfect final note: “And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” Abbey Road isn’t just a Beatles album—it’s one of the finest examples of a band saying goodbye at the absolute top of their game. 5/5.

Damn, I wanted to be a hater, then every song kicked ass. The 2 George Harrison tracks here, Something and Here Comes the Sun, might be my favourite Beatles songs. There are Beatles albums that I may have lesser opinions of, but not this one. This is the one they should be known and lauded for. 5 Stars. Great album cover.

jajaja

I mean this as about as masterpiece-y as albums get for me. I'd probably put this on my top 10 of all time. I think it's the most cohesive statement The Beatles ever made as an album, with themes and motifs running throughout. And the second-half suite starting with "You Never Give Me Your Money" through "The End" is just such a brilliant way for them to go out. My favorite thing they ever did.

Ugh. Ok. So here's the thing. Maybe the Beatles are overrated, like, in some absolute sense? But man, look. There is not a song on this record that is not great. Even the silly parts are FUN, and the serious parts LAND. Those boys could write and perform a pretty good song! And what they accomplished in like six years is frankly kinda mind-blowing.

Damn this album is good, how come they aren’t touring anymore? 4.7 stars

The best swan song of all time from the best band of all time.

I could write a dissertation on how much I love this album. My favorite album from my favorite band!

Perfect. Just perfect. Even down to the last note cutoff.

Classic

SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE BATHROOM WINDOW

I’ll never stop claiming that the B-side of Abbey Road is the greatest music ever written. Chisel it on my tombstone. Most important album to me without a doubt!

Best medley 1969

Sönnun að guð sé til

Sturlað albúm. Frábært production og mjög fullkomin plata. Smá filler efni en það er eiginlega bara plús því það er gott. Er persónulega meiri early bítlakall en þetta er óneitanlega fimma eða sexa.

Það eru bara einir Bítlar og líklega er þetta besta platan. Ótrúlegt pródúktion en allir orðnir leiðir á hver öðrum. Bestu lög Harrisson og svo blanda af Paul's granny music og prógressívum lögum frá Lennon. I want you alveg ótrúlegt lag. Medleyið svo ótrúlega skemmtilegt, gítarriffin og trommusóló Ringo í The end alveg geggjað. 5++

I declare The Beatles: good. Golden Slumbers my all time fav song of theirs

I'll always love this album and band... this is to me just what i call 'music' and i'll always think about playing beatles rockband in my basement with adam and going to Australia with just an mp3 player with every beatles song on it when i was 11... this is their best album ...

how could you not give this a 5

I've never considered myself a "Beatles-head," as in I don't sit there sifting through hours of scrapped studio recordings, and I don't know the difference between all the million album remasters they have out nowadays. But if there's one album by them that I've had an obsessive relationship with, it's Abbey Road. It's one of the most important pop albums of all time. A swansong for the group and for the traditional pop-sounds of the '60s that were being phased out by the many alternative movements spearheading the '70s. For as "forward thinking" as this album is often described as, it sure does sound relentlessly '60s - for the most part. But I think that's fine; the Beatles themselves are, after all, ruthlessly '60s. The decade belongs to them, and they belong to that decade. Abbey Road, to me, has always been about execution. How does one execute a pop album? Like this. The first crop of songs I want to talk about are 'Something', 'Oh! Darling', 'Here Comes The Sun', and 'Octopus's Garden', songs that are relatively run-of-the-mill '60s pop - yet there's an edge to them, something exotic that elevates them beyond any of their '60s pop contemporaries. I love the string blushes of George Harrison's 'Something', and that vocal melody in the upbeat switch-up is one of those things that just sticks with you - a gorgeous depiction of one's crushing love for another. 'Oh! Darling' is McCartney's attempt at something similar, and while I don't like it as much, I do love how over-the-top he delivers his lines and just how almost '50s throwback it is. This song shines in its simplicity. And 'Octopus' Garden' is one of the greatest pop songs, period. The group vocals on the chorus, the cozy underwater feel and imagery, and the playful and simplistic bassline - this is by far and away Ringo's best solo track on any Beatles album. And if 'Something' wasn't indication enough, 'Here Comes The Sun' further solidifies Harrison as this album's unsung hero. It's such a perfect tune, with such a subtle approach, but yet with so many layers that so timidly reveal themselves, but then just as easily, go back into hiding throughout this song's 3-minute runtime. But going back to this idea of how to execute a pop album, for the Beatles, it wasn't just about making these conventional tunes (at least not in their later years), but about being able to fuse pop (i.e catchiness and accessibility), with sounds that will challenge your average Beatles listener. Which, at the time of this album's release, was damn near every human-being on the planet. It's far from their most obviously experimental record, that probably goes to the White Album, but there are so many off-kilter moments here that serve to round out the album experience. And these songs are why this thing still stands the test of time. For one, I've never understood what made 'Come Together' so popular. I mean, yeah, the bassline is iconic, but the lyrics are almost non-sensical, and the instrumentation is so barebones and minimal for a good chunk of it, and when that sing-along chorus comes in, it lasts for only two bars. But the song is still by all means incredible, so groovy and slick. And the fact that it's one of the band's most popular hits just proves everything I'm talking about with The Beatles' music's ability to seep poppiness and accessibility into any ambitious idea they choose to muster up, at least on this album. 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer', while not as popular, I feel the same about. The unsettling story of the psychotic Maxwell juxtaposed against the golly singing was certainly strange, but again, it's insanely catchy. I love the way the backing vocals get more exaggerated at each iteration of the chorus, and those blaring Moog synths in the first interlude (and the piano in the second) give the entire thing a very theatric feel, it feels like a run crew scurrying to set the scene for the next act during these transitions. 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' starts off sounding like your standard blues-rock track before evolving into this monstrous, almost prog-rock song, with the organ and that distorted, hypnotic guitar lead. By the end of it, you're getting a full-blown King Crimson 'Red' era kind of cut. Getting a bit ahead of myself, but 'The End' of the medley also gives, oh-so subtle, proto-punk vibes with that noisy, distorted guitar. Maybe the most distinguishing feature of this album is the medley that encompasses a good chunk of its second side. And how each part of it sounds so different, employing unique ideas - and yet all the pieces come together so seamlessly by the end of it. 'Golden Slumbers' is my favorite. I love McCartney doing that over-the-top guttural thing again with his voice. I also dig the elegant baroque instrumentation and the way this song leads into the group-vocal chorus of 'Carry That Weight' that's then followed by that triumphant horn section. It's one of the most incredible music moments there is. On top of all that, the remasters of this album are just incredible sounding. It really is an engineering marvel that each sound here comes through so crystal clear. You just know that when you're listening to this album, you're hearing the entire album, every morsel of it. And you should savor it because Abbey Road is one of those perfect pop albums. A masterpiece in being able to pull every sound in popular music from the time into one tight package. An iconic, monstrous piece of art that landmarks music history like very few albums do.

Amazing production, songwriting and performances. This record represents everything that an album is supposed to be. If you haven't listened to it idk what kind of rock have you been living under but just go and do it already.

Soft 5. The tracks that are considered classics are amazing and all front loaded in the first half. The rest are just mid and some end so questionably abruptly. 'Here Comes The Sun' was my fave - it's such a sonic treat. Plenty of good ones to pick from, at least from the first half.

Astonishing to think how much they produced and how far they came in the five years and eight months between the release of Meet the Beatles and Abbey Road.

Absolutely great album full of all time classics

Immaculate album from the music down to the album art. Iconic: 5.0/5.0

not my favorite beatles album but fantastic nonetheless

one of my favorites.

There’s not much I can say about this album that hasn’t already been said. But this was the first Beatles album I properly listened to, after avoiding them for years in my adolescence because I assumed all of their music sounded like Twist and Shout. How wrong I was, and how glad I am that I eventually spun this. Undeniable masterpiece.

One time I was working at my uncle's store and I wanted to take a big dump that could not be hold, so I took a bike and rode home as fast as I could because the shit was already leaving my cervical cavities. During this ride I almost run over two people and a truck almost runs me over, because at the time my town did not have bike lanes and I had to switch between the thin sidewalk and the dangerous car lane. So the thing is, I get to my grandma's house, absolutely destroy her bathroom, and I immediately get back to work. Why am I telling you this? Because I was listening to this album the whole time this was happening. So everytime I hear "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", immediately followed by "Here Comes the Sun", I remember the sheer panic my guts were feeling, and the amount of relief that followed when the fecal matter left my body and George Harrison's sweet voice was singing in my ears.

Good to revisit, still great

Fav: Something Least Fav: Maxwell’s Silver Hammer No wonder this is always fighting with Rumours for the honour of being the highest rated album on this website, I get it now

8======D

pas pire.

La qualité du mix, du son, c'est ce qui m'a marqué dans cette nouvelle écoute de l'album. J'imagine qu'avant Dark Side of the Moon et Thriller, c'était un très bon album pour tester la qualité de son système de son hi-fi et impressionner ses visiteurs, notamment avec la pièce de départ, Come Together. C'est un album incroyable, malgré ce que John Lennon a pu en dire: «Lennon ultimately said that he disliked Abbey Road as a whole and felt that it lacked authenticity, calling McCartney's contributions "[music] for the grannies to dig" and not "real songs", and describing the medley as "junk ... just bits of songs thrown together".» (Source: Wikipedia) Je l'aime autant que j'aime les commentaires de John sur les chansons des Beatles.

Le meilleur dernier album d'un band de toute l'histoire des derniers albums de band. Le meilleur album du band que presque tous ses albums sont son meilleur. Le meilleur album du meilleur band. Le meilleur album. Chacun des membres réussi à se dépasser, le groupe réussi à se dépasser. Et ils n'ont pas encore 30 ans. Le technologie a encore fait un bon, juste à temps pour clore le chapître des Beatles d'une production majestueuse. Y s'est pus jamais rien fait de bon depuis.

i mean it's the classic.

Ahhh a classic and I’m saying that as a totally unbiased person. This album is widely acknowledged as a classic. I don’t even have to listen to it based on the huge acceptance of it. But I will listen, oh yes I will. You know why? Well, I don’t particularly believe that all Beatles albums are classics. Let me take this bull by the horns and scalp it. Shall I? Let’s see…. 6 songs in and silence from me. Well, so far “I Want You” is the weakest song and it’s a 4/5. I must do better to squash this album. Ok we’ve got them!! Sun King….not good. Down half a star. That’s about all I could muster up with my critique. It’s a pretty solid album. 4.5 stars but I’ll round up. The good ones are too good. Choice cut: Here Comes the Sun

One of the greats.

10/13, 77%

After almost a year of albums I can’t believe I finally got a Beatles album

This was my first time hearing the 2019 mix and it is *fantastic*.

NUMBER 101! IT'S THE BEATLES, MOTHERFUCKER! i am literally crying when i saw the cover i even went to THE zebra crossing to recreate it the first time i went to the UK. so, the beatles literally means extremely much to me... and i love the most of the album i just dont know how to say how i love this album i want to techniclly break it down and build it back and analyse how awesome it is but it's literally hell mode for me so i will just say it over and over: this IS my second favourite beatles album besides the white covered one. imma going to silver hammer everyone that hates this album somehow. 5/5

Well you can’t hate on this album bro, its one of the most iconic of all time. That being said this shit sucked. jk I liked it a lot

"Abbey Road" (1969) markiert das letzte gemeinsame Album der Beatles und ist ein musikalisches Meisterwerk, das Innovation und Perfektion vereint. Die ikonische Medley-Seite B zeigt eine nahtlose Songabfolge, die bis heute einzigartig ist. "Come Together" eröffnet das Album mit einem düsteren Groove, während "Something" eine der schönsten Liebesballaden von George Harrison ist. Das epische Finale mit "Golden Slumbers", "Carry That Weight" und "The End" hinterlässt einen bleibenden Eindruck. Klanglich brilliert das Album mit einer warmen Produktion, und die harmonischen Arrangements sind auf höchstem Niveau. Ein zeitloses Werk, das Generationen inspiriert und einen würdigen Abschluss der Beatles-Ära darstellt.

There best album

Absolutely beautiful.

There really is something so special about the Beatles. You don't realize it until you do a project like this just how amazing and consistent their sound is. 9/10

what a great album to start the week!! there is a reason this album is hailed as one of the greatest in every list imaginable out there. This is what peak last album looks like. iconic! iconic! icooonic!!!!!!

Favorite beatle album. Can listen to it too to bottom

GOLLLLLLLDEN SLUMMMMBERS FILL YOUR EYESSSS…SMILLLLEESSSS AWAAAAAKE YOU WHEN YOU RIIISE

What is there to say about this album that hasn’t already been said. It’s Abbey Road, the crowning achievement of The Beatles and my favourite album by them. Probably one of my favourite albums of all time.

Goated

Fantastic

Would anyone dare rate this less than a 5?

Five stars. Great album

O truly wonderful album. The b side, almost one entire song, is a beautiful piece of music. (I used to love playing it on Rock Band too!) (17 known/29 new)

I feel like Paul made a back room deal with Ringo to get Maxwell’s Silver Hammer on the record in exchange for Octopus’s Garden

my english teacher back then introduced me to the beatles as she was a huge fan and it quickly became the first album i owned. this was my life back when i was like 11, i still have vivid memories of putting this on and doing my homework listening to it 🥺 time flies

So good on so many levels, plus big nostalgia points.

I mean c'mon. Side b is one of the best tracks ever

The best Beatles album! No doubt. All the songs are good and different from each other. You can really feel that by the end of their career they finally reached a musical maturity.

Didn’t need to listen to it. So fabulous.

It’s one of my favourite Beatles albums (though not my top, which would be either Rubber Soul, or Revolver), especially for the medley of songs on the B-side. The way ‘Golden Slumbers’ segues into ‘Carry That Weight’ never fails to send shivers up and down my spine. Glorious.

I'm not sure what more needs to be said - It's the Beatles, you love it or you hate it. I love it.

Don't be dumb about it. There's no nuance here.

A classic and widely regarded as one of the great albums of all time for a reason.

Banger album. Favorite tracks: something, octopus's garden, the medley Will is revisit?: already knew the album Current rating: 10/10

First full listen of this one but I've heard most of the songs. It's solid

My parents had this album when I was a kid and it lives in my head and serves as the standard all music is compared to.

ubiquitous

Classic genius

The peak of music.

O que dizer? Perfeito

5/5 obviously. Just listened again and yes still a 5.

Absolute classic!
