All Things Must Pass

Honestly I didn’t finish it, it was very long but of what I did hear I enjoyed pretty well.

Some good songwriting throughout this record. The problem is having to wade through the plethora of shallow, uninspiring fluff. This record is too long—it’s unfocused and indulgent. Pacing was all over the place, making it difficult to digest, even after spitting it up into multiple listening sessions. There’s a reason movies aren’t 4 hours long (at least not very many good ones). The production was puzzling on this one. Some songs sounded very nice, but others had a dated sound that was hard for me to get into. I want the production to pull me in, so I can just focus on the music; unfortunately, the production often got in the way. Front-loaded record with moments of greatness, but it got lost in a mess of mediocre. 5.5-6/10 Standouts: I’d Have You Anytime Isn’t it a Pity

of the four fat sluts, they say george harrison was the fattest. i appreciate 1001 giving me the zenith of the beatles' solo-stuff so i can anticipate everything going downhill from here. i guess i had higher expectations than this - or at least wanted to feel something about the music as i was listening to it. i really liked parts here and there, but the rest passed me by without much fanfare. willing to do a little more investigation on the matter to have a more definitive judgement (like i said: REALLY liked certain parts), but for now: meh!! highlights - my sweet lord, wah-wah, i live for you

Listen, it’s a great album and all, but no album on Earth needs to be over 2 hours long. That’s maybe a tad much. To rephrase what someone else has already said, there’s a 4 star album in here somewhere, but it’s lost in a sea of bloat. This is the third Beatles related album I’ve reviewed, following Band on the Run and Revolver, and despite being the weakest of the 3, is still something I’m very glad I was able to listen to. When it’s good, it’s really good. Most of the time it just makes for good background noise, especially the entire back third of the album which is just an added instrumental. It doesn’t bother me, just adds to the already very bloated album even more. Being as long as it is, I’m extremely back and forth on my favorite song. The one everyone knows, “My Sweet Lord” is my bronze medal, but my favorites have to be between “Art of Dying” and “Hear Me Lord”. I believe Disc 2 is actually, as a whole, my favorite part of this album. It seems to be the half I keep coming back to hear again more often than not. I also believe out of all 4 Beatles, I’d say that I probably know the least about George Harrison other than the fact that he was clearly very fond of writing music, so I’m glad I was able to listen to what he came up with here. I for sure didn’t regret any of it, album length included.

This was solid. Mysticism and a search for meaning translated through a slide guitar. Everybody knows My Sweet Lord, but What Is Life and the title track are also very good. I know it's a double album, but it got really long, especially with the last four tracks, which are just instrumental jam sessions.

Musically very on point for that era's pop sound. Unfortunately to me that sounds is repetitive and boring.

Bueno

Not bad but it was too long.

Very nice - likely won’t revisit

Obviously first album he released after the demise of the Beatles. Pleasing but for me it shows the power of the band and Lennon and McCartney. Hopefully his other band which is terrific -with Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty…sort of proves the point…

Very long album was nice - some CLASSICS on there.

Lowkey overrated.

A couple of decent tracks and then lots of wishy washy.

Very long album. A little too long for my first attempt at listening outside of my perfected genres. Will not finish as it’s three hours of my life and I’m not in love after 7 songs. But it is a nice sounding album. Good feelings. Just long if it’s not your thing.

Ну битлс, ну да гитарист, ну да норм. 6/10

An epic triple LP that assured Harrison's solo rep and talent as a musician. Great riffs and lyrics abound in this album. From "My Sweet Lord", "Isn't it a Pity" and "What is Life" this album is an easy listen and easy to get lost in.

I thought it was going to be better

102/1001. Six sides of Harrisongs is a bit much. The anniversary and extended versions, which seem to be the only ones in Spotify add some more. But most of the stuff remain interesting, there are some surprises here and there, and some classics. Some of my favourite Beatles tunes are by Harrison, so I am more or less sold. But don't see myself listening through this whole in a while.

True, and this is a horrifying thought.

Overall chill album, I liked it.

Decent album. A couple of really great songs. Some not so great. I seemed to have not really enjoyed any of the solo stuff from any of the Beatles members. 3/5

beatles sounding ahhh

I'd probably give this a lower score, 2.5 perhaps, if I'm being honest but I'd be remiss to give it too low of a score. I'm just sadly very uninterested in the Beatles music 😔

This...album...was...too...long. This will be brightest memory of the album which is probably a shame as the individual songs themselves were for the most part really good listens individually, but it will be overshadowed by this pretty much combining three albums into one, with the final third being all instrumental, which again by itself could be a groovy listen called upon at the right moment for great effect but quite unnecessary here. This will be one of those albums in which instead of a few bright spots helping it gain higher rating points, it instead starts at quite a favorable spot and will be marked down for the length. It will receive a 3.5/5 but on the lower end so not bumping up to a 4 but instead a 3.

Langsam und gmüetlich aber au vergesslich das album. Na smooth am ne lockere background oldies abig aber au unspektakulär und biz altgebacken. Situationsbedingt vibig demfall. Und e klare fall vo 3 puntitos

This was good but nothing really grabbed me… and it went on far too long, with the last 5 or so tracks just instrumentals.

Apesar de seu notório reconhecimento, é um disco que nunca me cativou, especialmente por me soar abusivamente norte-americano (harmônicas e aquele som de "guitarra de Honolulu" por todo o disco); sua exagerada duração, que torna a audição cansativa e a opção por uma mixagem que deixou o som confuso, sem brilho, a ponto de comprometer o desfrute de canções belíssimas como "Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp"; "All Things Must Pass"; e "Hear Me Lord"; além da jam "Out of the Blue".

Good album

In the movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" plays as the protagonists arrive on the Edenic planet of Ego, a god-like Celestial inhabiting the image of Kurt Russell. Later in the movie Ego reveals his villainous plan to rapidly and violently terraform countless inhabited planets into extensions of himself. On All Things Must Pass, George Harrison commits what could be viewed as a similar sin: greatly overestimating the amount of himself that should be dumped out into the universe in one go. In doing so, George spoils what would otherwise be a pretty good album.

Some good classics and a solid vibe. Many of the songs are only for me in a certain mood.

I will desconsider the Apple Jam, although it's part of the record as a whole. Even desconsidering it, remains in the 3 star field. Kind of a 6,8/10 album. The vocal harmonies are there, some moments of sheer brilliance, typical of a beatle and etc. But the album is too flat for its duration. Lots of half time ballads, slow bpm, very George Harrison stuff, of course. And EXACTLY for this reason that, in a Beatles album, two or three songs of him would make the cut, balancing the trippy Lennon songs and the fun upbeat McCartney songs. It is a bad album? No, far from that, we have some easy listen quality stuff here, but tiring. Take the strongest cuts and make a single album and All Things Must Past probably would be 4 stars and the best solo album by a beatle. The way it is, kind of comes close, but doesn't overcome Band on the Run (okay, it is a Wings album, but you get the point)

Some good songs but honestly I didn't finish this as 28 songs could easily have been 16 songs. I get there are a number of versions of songs but they really weren't all that different.

If I had to pick a favorite Beatle, it would be George Harrison. I was never a super fan of the Beatles; their music is ok, here and there, but I've come to learn that I'm one of the weirdos that finds them a little overrated. I think Paul is a fine songwriter, John Lennon seemed like an ass, and Ringo is probably a better drummer than the world ever really gave him credit for being. But George is alright. He doesn't knock them all out of the park (track 1 on this record being the case in point), but when he gets it right, he gets it really right...at least in my pretty limited experience. This record kind of showcases that. The first track sucks, but the rest of this record is really solid musically. His lyrics I could often take or leave, and I don't subscribe to his worldview, but the songs are really listenable and catchy. 3.8/5

It's decent, but wow, it’s a marathon! It feels like George really wanted to make sure we got our money’s worth with this one. While there are some great moments, it definitely tests your patience.

If all the album would have been like the last 20 minutes, it would've been a 5. None of the other songs did anything for me.

I know he had too many songs because the Beatles wasted him, but god is this long

carino ma non il mio genere, heee haw

This was quite nice, i enjoyed some of the song names

Very long - need to listen again

I love it when double - or even triple - albums are a glorious mess. Al Things is a prime example of this. The ambition overweighs the delivery. The album is all the better for this. From the A List of big hitters playing on the album, through to the Spector production - this is a two hour scrambled collection of songs. But ultimately it's the songs that make it work. The Dark Horse done good.

I had never bothered listening to this album, I’m glad I finally made the effort. Nothing life-changing here for me, but it was quite pleasant, with some surprising moments (like Art of Dying, that I really loved). Sounds like what The Beatles could have become if they had been to Woodstock. Maybe I’m just a hippie at heart, but I was totally cool with the psychedelic / spiritual vibe (some tracks almost have a Pink Floyd-ish vibe, like the second version of Isn’t It A Pity). I’m not planning to let Krishna into my life any time soon, but it’s nice to listen to positive, wholesome music once in a while. It is indeed really long, but the songs are varied enough so it doesn’t get too boring. However, the best tracks tend to get diluted into the whole, and it’s hard to stay attentive through 23 songs. I didn’t find the final jam session annoying, as some people apparently did ; I followed the original tracklist order, and it was quite all right, sometimes even more interesting than the first two discs. There are some excellent blues moments in there, it's totally worth it. I almost added one star for "Out Of The Blue". A good 3* going on 3,5*.

It's really good. In the context of this great list of really interesting recordings though I'm not sure if it does enough to stand out for me though? Isn't it a pitty is an absolutely incredible song. Who could pick between this and the perfect nina simone version. My sweet lord is great too. There are some other tracks that have some beautiful textures, but across 3 lps I think I want more to grab me.

There are some classics on here but overall I felt like it kind of lacked focus as a project. This could probably probably be pared down to a five star album

Great first 1/3 and then it gets experimental

I get it, George Harrison was the 'quiet Beatle' and really their tender heart, and this record was his blossoming chrysalis of a debut album... So how could I be such a heel and not stamp it with an automatic 5 stars? I mean, it's a really nice record, George sounds like he's really pleased and at peace with his with his life, fully present in 'amor fati'. I hear a parade of 'silly love songs' (I know that's a Paul song, but it fits) and spiritual rapture and stylistic flashbacks from Traveling Wilburys - just so contently vanilla. So it's nice, but it actually makes me feel grouchy and I could not endure listening through again. But still, George, your guitar makes me gently weep =]

Nice album, maybe needs to grow.

good music but 2 hours is really hard to go through

-1 star because of how insanely long it is

Good album , although I prefer him with the Beatles.

Some songs very nice, some rather grating

Listenable but not that adventurous

I think music journalists like saying this is the best Beatles solo album because they aren't really journalists in most cases, they are writers, and they like a story. The story of George, the poor put upon Beatle finally getting to shine is a good one and not wholly false. However, I think this album has its flaws much as it has its moments of genius. The production has the two problems of Spector being on the wane and George being too influenced by him and inexperienced as a producer, especially on his own stuff which is sometimes harder than working one someone else's stuff. I usually love big mushy reverberant productions but it gets a bit wearing here. I like the idea of a bonus instrumental album a lot but always get disappointed by most of it being Clapton infected blues snoozefests. Having said all that most of the tracks up to and including Apple Scruffs are good to great with Isn't A Pity being the real standout and worthy of its double appearance.

Ah, George Harrison. Hare Krishna! Another Beatle's album, sort of. And its a double album. Let's start with the bad. Beware Of Darkness and I Dig Love were meh. And the last few instrumental tracks really drag out the album, especially one this long already. But for the most part, the songs were pretty good, I had fun. My Sweet Lord, is the only one I've heard before, and absolutely love that one. As an Iskcon member myself, I love the Sanskrit verses. Wah-Wah, both versions of Isn't It A Pity, and Let It Down had some great guitar work. The piano in Hear Me Lord was wonderful. Overall, this could easily be split and trimmed into one or two 4 star albums, but as it is, I have to give it a 3. Best song: My Sweet Lord

Early 70’s Harrison. Long album but some recognizable songs

Some good hits, I didn't get to listen all the way through (idk when I'll have time for that, it seems longer than it needs to be), but it was nice.

pretty good generic radio sounding stuff

5-i-1-album. Mye for pengene, men kunne med fordel vært porsjonert ut litt.

Oh beautiful George I know they must. Could you put the spliff down for a moment though mate you seem to have lost all sense of time. George lad you're still recording. There's some lovely songs on here and I'm a George girl but like. I'm never gonna adore a big padded album like this.. obv they have their place but I'd like a one disc editor's cut. There's definitely room to shed some bulk. Can't deny him an eight minute jam dedicated to his dog tho we've all been there.

nice enough

I did not make it through this whole album. There are some songs I know and love on it but it felt like a slog to get through. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood today.

It’s ok. I don’t really like the Beatles, but I don’t hate them either, I just don’t really connect to their “genius.” I’d say I feel the same about this album. It’s inoffensive, I suppose, and a little boring, and altogether too damned long, but it’s ok.

Is George Harrison history’s most talented other bloke on the stage? Judging by this record – which is several shades more nuanced and textured than anything Dave Grohl, for example, has managed – the answer would be “yeah, just about”. This is a lovely record; a little over-generous in its articulation, perhaps, but who can begrudge a creatively constipated man his musical Metamucil? (“All things must pass”, indeed.) What you get from this record – and, to be fair, what you get from Lennon and McCartney’s solo efforts too – is a real sense of George’s singular personality. A fabulous songwriter, a fondly regarded character, and a happy-clappy-sappy chap. And for all that, there’s no Beatle I’d rather sit beside at the local pond.

I would rate this higher but it was to long.

For no reason at all, this music reminds me of the Hare Krishnas at the airport.

A good album with some exceptional artistry in there, though a long one. It takes a mind like Harrison’s to throw so much music at the listener and say enjoy

6/10 Top 3 tracks: 1. I Live For You 2. ⁠Let It Down 3. ⁠Isn’t It A Pity

Several of my favorite Beatles songs are George Harrison compositions, and I like "My Sweet Lord", so I went in to this album expecting it to be a fairly pleasant experience. For the most part it was, but it is way too goddamn long. A triple album? Six sides? C'mon. It's a pretty cool collection of songs and it's interesting to hear what was bouncing around in George's head as the Beatles were falling apart. There's clearly a lot of influence from his time in India and adoption of Hindu beliefs, but there's also a lot of fairly conventional pop, folk, rock, and blues all blended together in a way that will sound pretty familiar to anyone well-acquainted with the Beatles discography. But it's just too long. By the time I got to "Apple Scruffs" and onward I was over it.

Listens: 1.5 Standout tracks: My Sweet Lord, Beware of Darkness, Thanks for the Pepperoni This album being a triple album, meant I really didn't get the opportunity to dive into the tracks and really appreciate any particular track. The album was decent. Glad I listened. I think each of the individual members of the Beatles music will always be overshadowed by their music _as The Beatles_ though. That's probably an unfortunate reality of the situation.

Nice, don't know why it's 2 hours, can't focus on an album that long so it all blended into one

Ok

Much of the music is pleasing - George’s guitar-playing sounds great; “O Sweet Lord” is a classic; and a couple of other tracks impressed me. However, a lot sounds samey-samey: melancholy, light on lyricism, dependent on textured instrumentals to carry you through. Of course, it’s impossible to overlook that this is a double album with “extra” third album. It took me a number of listens to get through. And when I realized I accidentally listened to the five extra tracks Spotify inexplicably tacked on to album one, I gave myself a pass to skip the “bonus” album. It could be slimmed down to a four-star record, but as it stands…

Flere gode låter som fenger fint, men noen innimellom er så innmari tamme

easy listening

I need to get a kazoo.

I liked this album and even enjoyed the “Apple Jam” instrumentals. Stand out tracks: “My Sweet Lord, Hear Me Lord, Out of the Blue, & Plug Me In” 1001 album worthy: yes - 95/173

Generic beatles

Double albums are always a tough sell--this is no exception.

Kommer inte orka lyssna på hela, men en del bra låtar!

Nice album with a couple classics

When it's good, it's very good. My least favourite beatles songs were the music hall ones, so George's use of a wider range of chords and ideas is great. However, when it's bad, it's pretty rubbish, and my god it's SO LONG. As usual, most people would be able to pick a 5* single LP from the tracklisting, but most people would probably choose different tracks. Clearly the album was a huge influence on the britpop scene. There are individual tracks I'd listen to again, but the whole 3LP album? Nah, I'm good.

Perfectly fine album. Although anything sounds better after Tommy

ngl lowk enjoyed this didnt expect to but lasted ages i could only rly enjoy for a couple songs at a time tho gotta take breaks yk coz allat rock makes a man go crazy i would say 3.5 coz cant rly listen all at once would lowk make me go insane

It's 2.5 HOURS LONGG

Wish you could give have stars cause this is better than McCartney

Decent

I think this might be the best solo Beatle album. Probably is. Likely makes Harrison the best solo Beatle.

George writes a lot of songs and songs them

Nice album, I like "My Sweet Lord" most. Second disc is a bit repetitive.

A bit bloated but some great hits.

a 2 hour mellow jamming album with many instrumental tracks and remixes of itself on side B … ok George let’s make it hard It did take me couple of days to get through but ultimately it did grew on me, can’t deny there’s lots of good music here. Type of album I can play and just read or work for hours

decently vibey but had me googling “did george harrison convert to hinduism”

3.5/5 Adorable lyrics and overall fun sound. Too long and disorganized to qualify a four for me

THE rebound album Really put an 11 min song at the end 💀💀

3.4

The remastered/rereleased version of this record is a mess. There are so many repeats (different versions) of songs and extended versions and every song is in a different order than the original pressing. I love how modern tech can gives us the ability to hear all of these albums without having to go and get the physical copy someway, but I wish I could hear this in its original form. This album could be cut back by at least 40% and still be really good, but the length is a bit much, particularly since there are like 4 songs that have 2 versions. I really like early George stuff, and shows that he was more than just a really good guitarist, he can write some strong lyrical content too. 7.0/10 #55/1001

Went back to listen. It should have been four stars. It cemented my opinion that he's my favourite songwriter from the Beatles. I side with those reviewers who describe these songs as having been overlooked by Lennon & Macca, for whatever reason, rather than being less good than theirs. They're good songs. But yes, it needed a really good edit. It's understandable that he spewed it all out in one go but it stopped it from being an objectively good album.

Some good tracks and some truly terrible ones. I think if he’d cut the rubbish he’d have had a good album that wasn’t too long to endure

If this album were half as long I would have liked it more. It felt very one note and dragged on a bit.

If you only listen to the original tracks (the track list is on the Wikipedia page) it makes it much less of a pain in the arse to listen to Some songs I quite enjoyed, like the title track and both parts to Isn't It a Pity (and that last three track run is amazing), but others were just average. It wasn't consistent enough for me. Some of these average ones should be cut out for the sake of easiness

There are flashes of brilliance on this album, but there is too much bloat. Some songs are absolutely in 5 territory, while others are more 2-3. The jams are fun but not really conducive to an album. 3.5, I round down 1=Crap that shouldn't be here 2=I didn't like it but get why it's here 3=I thought it was ok or even like it, get why it's here, but won't revisit 4=I like it, will revisit 5=This is some of the best music I've ever heard and will continue listening to it

classic

Why do I keep getting triple albums on the days I've got the least time to actually listen to them? Anyway, George Harrison looks like a gnome on this, which makes it disappointing that it's really not all that whimsical. Plus, Nina Simone makes the versions of "My Sweet Lord" and "Isn't It a Pity" on this completely and totally obsolete with her unsung classic Emergency Ward! Probably like a 2.5, but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt because the aforementioned Nina Simone album is so good it justifies all this excess.

By all accounts a well loved classic album, but the main descriptive word I'd personally use is long. This album is very, very long and thanks to the various reissues, remasters and remixes its almost impossible to find the shorter original version (only 104 minutes!) in the original order. Side A and B are very solid with Harrison outlining his vision, a good mix of hits and more thoughtful folk rock, but the further down the road the rarer the quality cuts become. You can have too much of a good thing.

yeah it's fine but it goes on a bit, and don't think we need alternate takes and instrumental versions of songs.

Great songs, but too long and too much noodling

Ниче так даже прикольно

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would, but it loses a star for the unnecessary “jam” tracks at the end.

I was expecting not to like it, on the basis that the only song I don't like on Sgt Pepper is the one Harrison wrote, but I actually enjoyed most of it a lot. I've had My Sweet Lord stuck in my head all day and liked Wah-Wah, though I can't see me ever revisiting the jam tracks at the end - I fundamentally don't see the attraction in listening to a recording of a jam session. 3/5 (3.5 if I was allowed half stars)

Some good songs on here but the whole thing is just too dang long. If some of these were left out of the album it might've been a 4.

Nice album, didn’t wow me though

Nice and easy album although the re-issued version had a number of songs which isn't bad when they are new but I do not need to hear various iterations of the same songs.

This is the Beatles going supernova. A triple album of Harrison's work developed through the late 60s. Its got Clapton. Its got Spector and Dylan and its got a Who's Who of 60s session musicians (Ginger Baker hiding out a jam number even!). After this explosion there wasn't more than elemental gases dispersed throughout the galaxy to be sucked up by shitty 70s bands. I'd Have You Anytime starts quite fusiony before reverting to a bit more of a late Beatles structure. My Sweet Lord is a really moving moving chord progressions and lyrics which do a great job of maintaining western pop credibility despite being a krishna chant. Hearing Isn't it a Pity for the first time tells me that Pink Floyd have a lot of explaining to do about where their influences for Dark Side of the Moon came from. What is Life has an amazing northern soul drum track from Jim Gordon. If Not for You should have probably stayed in Dylan's hands, Spector's maximalist production doesn't do it justice. Harrison doing country in Behind that Locked Door is surprisingly good, there's some really satisfying slide guitar and more than enough pop sensibility to stop it from getting too boring. Let it Down is again proto-Dark Side and much less wanky (still kind of wanky). Its amazing how many of these tracks have quite complex time signatures, struggling to even count out Run of the Mill. At this point we are one third of the way through and my ears are getting a little fatigued. I don't think it helps that there are a lot of slow songs like Beware of Darkness, again a spacey Dark Side number. Apple Scruffs is Smiley Smiles level deranged which is cool I suppose. There's some fun mouth organ. The rest of the second disc is great. If I'd listened to it first I would have written a paragraph about it instead of the second disc but also I'm kind of struggling to say anything new. Its George Harrison releasing a huge backlog of stuff that was suppressed by Lennon and McCartney. Its really good but its Beatles cutting room floor and Pink Floyd inspo and that's what it sounds like and I'm not sure you need to say much more. There are occasionally some more interesting notes. Art of Dying would have made a great Bond film but also some almost Mr. Bungle esque pastiche with mexican horns. Last disc is blues jams. I love instrumentals and jam tracks and these are perfectly fine. As mentioned above this is like a great tribute to the session players that made the 60s possible. This is a great monument, but that's all it is. Its for visiting and paying respects, not for daily driving.

Wasn't bad.

Too much of an ok thing. Sprawling beyond the confines of Beatles pop songs this is a loose jammy pastoral album with lots of psych, spiritual searching, and bucolic atmospheres. Tender vocals, unhurried pacing, maximalist wall of sound instrumentation but a relatively murky reverby production style, and a clean/acoustic core give it a gentle relaxed soothing but melancholy feel. Bluesy slide and twangy country lapsteels guitar over loads of it for an additional layer of pathos. The melodic style and harmonies are so classic and familiar from the Beatles, but it has a very Big Pink aesthetic that's a big departure. I have a lot of patience for bluesy jams, these are just fine, nothing remarkable, like blind faith or traffic outtakes, or just want a bar band noodles on to warm up. The longest one is best though as it evolves through a few phases in an interesting way, the rest are just 12 bar progressions with solos.

Fühlt sich sehr nach Beatles an, ziemlich lang aber bleibt konstant. 3 1/2.

Others may not agree with me, but the Beatles are one of those groups that are more than the sum of their parts. I like this fine, but when I want to hear a Beatle I'm just going to listen to the Beatles.

Solid album, although not my go-to when it comes to the Beatles or solo albums since.

TRIPLE? A triple album? Brah... There's some truly great stuff in here, and with the proper editing I could have easily justified giving it a 5, but the bloat drags it down. Way down. This could and should have been 1/3 5-Star Album, 1/3 Deep Cuts Album, 1/3 unrecorded scrap (i.e. Apple Jam).

The guitar work on this record is truly top notch. The slide playing in particular is peak Harrison. The Spector production is possibly his best as well. It has a lot of his usual elements of sound but feels even more complete. Yes, it’s one of the songs I was most familiar with coming in, but What is Life definitely stands out as my favorite track. The album is definitely a LONG one, somewhere between 24 and 28 tracks depending on which version and clocking in around 2 hours, so it does drag on a bit and I mentally checked out somewhere around song 13 or 14, which is its reason for 3 stars instead of the higher score it could have earned based on taking the 10-12 best songs from the sessions. Lyrically, my man was GOING THROUGH IT. Between the ending of the Beatles and a failing marriage? Good god there are some sad ones in there. Men will literally release a triple album with Phil Spector instead of going to therapy.

Not my taste. Some short passages are quite charasteristic and the general vibe is very Beatles-like, but it lacks the energy and rebelness of the full band.

I’m sorry, this probably deserves higher but it’s soooo long.

Weren’t bad just seemed to go on forever

Heel rustige muziek. Prima te luisteren, maar niet mijn favoriete muziek. Zit ook weinig pakkende melodie in.

What's not to like from George Harrison?

Pretty good.

nice discovery

Kind of cozy, kind of boring.

Nice and chill

The first third of this album is amazing. The random other versions are unnecessary. They’re not terrible, but it feels like so much bloat weighing it down-like I can’t even finish it. But the first third is so good, so I round up to a three. (I thought this album would be higher until I realized I had to listen to all this other stuff.)

Great album! I love a few songs on here. Not something I'd listen to too often.

All Things Must Pass is wildly considered the best of The Beatles solo albums and probably deservedly so. George has so much music built up that had to be released this turned into a TRIPLE album. As everyone knows, double albums are the worst invention in human history so this is way too much. But it really is beautiful. Just too long 6.3/10

Great album all around. Definitely one of the best, if not the best, solo Beatles albums

One hell of an album, that's for sure. Harrison is certainly prolific, but its length is also its biggest detriment - after a while you start hankering for something else.

Ganz schön laaaaang. Kann man mal aber mal so hören.

кто придумал делать альбомы по 2 часа? 3/5, довольно неплохо, но затянуто слишком, что пиздец

Just good

1970s rock

Soft rock. Good listen. Artist is one of the members of the Beatles

I mean, sure. But at the end if the day it's very preachy, very quarter-Beatles

Fine. Better than I expected.

da sempre il mio scarafaggio prefe 🥰

Would be a 4 but it’s crazy bloated

Why so long? Not a question I get asked often.

Really liked it to start! And then it just kept going and going and going. Favourite song: My Sweet Lord Least: Out of the Blue

If you release a triple album you didn’t release 1

Really suffers from its length. It has some interesting songs, but I'm on my fifth attempt to go through it and I haven't managed to complete it.

More of the same

OK, couple of familiar tunes. Very Beatles feel

Of course I didn't use a private session on Spotify for this one. I like a lot of the songs on this album. Whenever I listen to a double album I think "Wow. this would be an excellent album if it didn't have half of these songs." This double album was no exception, I would start with cutting those meandering jams songs at the end. I get Harrison had something to prove after having some of his song writing stifled while in the Beatles,

Whew! All Things Must Pass is tough to rate. That was a lot of music to get through. It’s my biggest issue with double, or in this case, triple albums. Too much material. Take the best songs, put them together and make a classic album. To be fair though, a majority of this project is pretty good. It wasn’t until the very end where I started skipping through songs. I get it. First album after the Beatles break up. George had a lot to say and probably prove. That’s fine. Getting your ideas rejected while being in the most famous band in the world surely takes a toll. I did enjoy the “Wall of Sound” production. It’s an added piece that kept me engaged. At the end of the day, I just don’t know if I would listen to the album again, much less, many more times. I’m leaning no, to a slight maybe. So noncommittal. Right or wrong, I’m going a middle of the road 3 for this one. 3/5

My sweet Lord - and Hare Krishna.

Listened Before? N Interesting solo Beatles member album here. It's very Beatles-esque. Seems like a direction the band could have gone had they continued. Sort of a hybrid of their late psychedelic work along with their early pop stuff. I found this one pretty groovy. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: What Is Life

really great folk stuff here. but with there being two discs it’s just so long (2 hours) and can’t really listen to the whole thing in one sitting. i’d say half is good and half is okay, but it leads me to skip some songs that are 9 minutes of instrumentals

Less is more.

Would have been a 4 but for the length

This isn't an album. It's a vast collection of random songs that Harrison had lying about on the cutting room floor, including some good ones. Shame - he could have made a masterpiece, but this isn't a good listen.

would be very nice if the stupid rock didn't ruin it

It's George Harrison, of course it's good. But honestly not really my cup of tea. I liked it, but didn't love it.

Cool. C'est quand même marrant comme le morceau 1 et le morceau 8 à la 30'' se ressemblent. C'était ma contribution du jour :)

underrated, did not know it but loved it.

This was ok, some songs hood

Double album was a bit ott, but not bad.

All things must pass, and I'm glad these two hours finally did

21/02/25 I wasn't really sold on the album, and 2 hours was way too long.

Bored.

My Sweet Lord this does go on. It's got a single album of great songs, but just like Sandinista! and 69 Love Songs guys pls some editing. Also - sorry - the slight whiff of the Travelling Wilberries hangs over some of this. So anyway 3 stars.

There's a 5/5 album buried in here, but 2 hours is simply too long for my taste, especially when a lot of it is filler. Ending with 11 minutes of instrumental is rough.

The first half plus is brilliant….really plods along with some tracks that could have been cut toward the end of the album

Kelvollista taustamusiikkia, mutta en sen suuremmin luultavasti kuuntelisi.

Das durchschnittlichste Album ever

It's okay. I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but it's not bad. I'll be generous. 3/5

I was pretty bored most of the time. Kinda reminded me of Mac Demarco for a lot of it. (I guess you could say it’s more one way than the other) It’s interesting how any of the Beatles in isolation really demonstrate’s one component in their sound, which was so much more than the sum of it’s parts.

Some bangers. A vibe.

Interesting album, very distinctly George Harrison

Åbenbart en fra the Beatles der er underrated og lavede et solo album som viste sig at være rigtig godt. Jeg synes det er rigtig fint rock/pop folk sing and songwriter.

ja, ist halt nur der eine von vier; aber ganz ok

Listen george is my guy but this is too much okay. Stand-out: My Sweet Lord

Man, as a way to make a statement to the Beatles he did. Just the perfect way to do that. However, seriously this album doesn't need to be this long. I wish I could appreciate it more but it would be a lot better if it was just reduced which could have made this album so much easier to enjoy. This song has brilliant elements, amazing drums, experimental guitar bits and everything else. Harrison gives a connection as he owns himself in this album grants a really good impression from his quieter role in the Beatles. I understand the context, but not for me.

Not sure if I was just listening to some mega extended / remastered version of this album but it seemed to go on forever. There are some exceptional songs sprinkled in here, but I think it was mostly pretty unexciting. If this album was trimmed down to like 10 songs it would probably get a 4 or even a 5/5. Fav song: My Sweet Lord

3.75 Really enjoyed the Bluesy later half of the album.

Bit overblown but fine-ish.

276/1001 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

1st one was nice with the guitar and the slow relaxed drums. Otherwise, the music is quite slow for me personally and the singing isn’t particularly deeply soothing or pleasant.

My dad loves The Beatles so it was nice to understand one of the member better, I was even surprised to recognise some songs as I didnt know they were George Harrison. Still a bit too long to listen to all at once.

good rainy day vibes

A nice work. I'm well familiar with this album. It's the type that newcomers will listen to and think, "I didn't know George Harrison wrote that song!"

второй диск не нужен

It's ok, but it's a bit wishy washy for me. It's like he couldn't move up a gear and stayed in the middle lane.

I like most of this better than The Beatles; it seems a litter deeper and more in an artistic vein that I appreciate. That said, the sound got repetitive after the whole ass 2 hours omg

I really loved the album, this is totally out of my comfort zone. I thought the instrumentals were sublime and vocals + lyrics were engaging. I never thought I'd say this, but I quite like George Harrisons music 😁

It's OK, but I kind of want it to go harder. Whole album just has kind of a depressed nostalgia vibe.

Good solo album

Probably wouldn’t listen again - it’s just sooo long. There are a good number of gems here, but it’s a lot? Favorites: what is life, all things must pass, LOVE the art of dying. Eh. I don’t know George!

Would be a 4 if not for extended jam songs

The hits were enjoyable, but I didn’t discover a hidden gem on this one. Nice background music 🤷‍♀️

It's good, but so gods damned long.

This album was the standard that all other Beatles' solo albums were held to. Production is sublime, George's slide guitar became legendary (and later used for the Anthology songs). But I don't know. I just don't know.

I was never fully sold on the Beatles, so the thought of 2 hours of self-indulgence from the third most popular Beatle was not something I was looking forward to, especially after taking a quick look at other user reviews before starting. As it turned out, I I was very pleasantly surprised and did quite enjoy this.

Maybe the greatest Beatle, good album but it does not really hit me all the way through. Actually not the greatest but probably very underrated and large part of the sound with little credit. This album shows that. A bit too somber and forgettable.

Harmonica! Gets it 3 over 2 stars

Triple Album?! I guess when you're a Beatle they just let you get away with anything. That's a long time time for me to spend with any album, let alone one from a genre (classic rock) that I don't particularly go for in general. There were some good songs here that I wouldn't mind hearing again and of course the more well-known ones which, although popular aren't so popular to have been played to death for me. A single solid album can be found in here, but who am I to curate which songs would make that album?

wah wah is such a nostalgic dad song for me, extra star on that alone. there's a lot here that does not sound like george misses making beatles records (though there is some that extremely does sound like that), and that is also a point in his favor.

Sorry George, I thought at least two of these were just Beatles songs until now.

Skilled guitarist.

This is a collection of mostly mediocre, some good, and just a few very good songs - meaning that there is probably a great album somewhere in there wanting to come out, but being afraid of all the run-of-the-mill stuff. Clearly, George Harrison wasn't doing it any favours. 3/5

Recognized My Sweet Lord and What is Life. The album was a little long to me, although my favorite tracks were the instrumental ones towards the end.

I expected to like this one more than I did. Of course there were a few classics that are well deserving of their fame. And a few gems I hadn't heard before. The production quality was wonderful. But it didn't hold me in for the very long 2 hours recording time. Like first track new and great. Second track My Sweet Lord. Third track, Wah-Wah, what were you thinking G? This is just boring dad-rock basement jam nonsense. But lasting through that 5+ minute slog, you are then rewarded with Isn't It A Pity and some joy returns. Seems like if they had passed on about 1/3 of this thing you'd have a masterpiece.

Unclear if the albums available on Spotify do this a disservice, or if George really was a bit too far up his own ass to edit the track list to something manageable. In any case, I didn't like *any* of this enough to try to recreate the OG album listing. While it's better than John's solo stuff, and some songs mixed up the folky sound (Wah Wah in particular felt like a late-Beatles outtake), it mostly started to blend together the longer this (unnecessarily) long album went on.

Started off good, had calm reflective feeling to it. Probably would've been better if I hadn't had such a busy day. The birthday song was weird and out of place

Nothing bad but only My Sweet Lord that you'd save

All Things Must Pass most closely resembles sitting in a massage chair for an hour and forty minutes. at first i enjoy it, and it's a nice, consistent feeling, but after about 30 minutes, i start getting tingly. 60 minutes later my entire ass has gone numb, and at the end getting off after it switches to a sudden stop feels like a relief. i'm reminded of the similar experience i had with Songs in the Key of Life -- an album a lot of people love and with good reason. i think you have a right to love ATMP as well. i love a lot of it too. "My Sweet Lord", "Isn't It A Pity", and the title track deserve to be considered classics. sadly, i otherwise feel crushed, not by the length of the project, but by the sound of it. All Things Must Pass does not bore me; it wears me out. for me, 100 minutes of music either has to be dynamic enough to keep me engaged or atmospheric enough to lure me into a trance. instead, Phil Spector makes sure all the tracks are going at 100% except in the rare case where there simply aren't enough instruments to go utterly batshit with. everyones playing guitar licks and the drums and going crazy and there's harmonies and the songs morph into this fog that overwhelms me. it's exhausting enough that i'm actually a little more appreciative when the Apple Jam kicks in -- not enough for me to change my opinion, but definitely not enough to drop my opinion of the record as a whole. All Things Must Pass might enlighten you, but it doesn't do the same for me. it's not a sermon or a live show -- it's a baseball game. i can get loving baseball, but going to a game regularly or watching it on TV simply isn't my bag. more power to ya.

'What Is Life' is one of the great rock songs of all time. The rest of this (including 'My Sweet Lord') is lackluster in comparison.

That guitar sound on My Sweet Lord is just like being wrapped in a blanket on a cold winter day. This is a lovely album - makes you wonder how much more songwriting George could have contributed to The Beatles.

Spector Wall of Sound indeed. The only problem is (and I'm not sure if it's just with the remastered) is that the vocals are almostly completely lost in the mix. Maybe he wasn't a confident vocalist? This could easily be a Beatles album, which I guess isn't a surprise either. The jam band stuff at the end definitely wasn't to my taste.

This album was way better than I thought it would be. I think I took George Harrison for granted in his role in The Beatles as his solo work is nicely composed and thought out. I really enjoyed my time with the first disc. These songs had a lot of life, which is shown not only in Harrison's guitar playing, but also with his voice and composition of the songs. Despite being the lead guitarist, he doesn't take his solo album as an opportunity to shine his ability to play guitar (he does in the second disc, but we won't talk about that just yet). Instead, he takes the opportunity to craft beautifully written songs. The entire second disc could have been removed from this album. The first disc is a really good compilation of songs and it's kinda tarnished from the second disc. Both from the full length of the album, and the quality of the songs. The last few songs are full length guitar solos. First disc, 4/5 Second disc, 2/5 Overall, 3/5

To start off: we had All Things Must Pass on vinyl at 4Ex in the early 70s. What we have just listened to on Spotify is not that album. (And a good thing, too.) This was George’s first album after the Beatles and as you now know, the world was watching and listening. He only got a song or two on each Beatles album so had a lot of material that hadn’t been released yet. The vinyl was three discs; Disc 1 blew people away and is similar to the new Spotify version. Disc 2 was OK (listenable) but why would you listen to it since Disc 1 was better. Disc 3 was not listenable. You heard it one time and never wanted to hear it again, it was that bad. It was “You want your 45 minutes back” bad. The album was rumored to have been the second most selling triple album of all time behind Bing Crosby’s Christmas Album, but there was never any way to confirm that back then so everyone just went with it. I always like Apple Scruffs best (for all that it was about) although Plug Me In (which was not on the original) is now the top cut. The “new” 2014 remaster is a little repetitive, but significantly better than the original, so thank George for that. As to the cover - we just figured George is turning into an oversized, reclusive gnome. Album is still a bit long (3.3*s)

Un peu quétaine, genre hippie spirituel. Musicalement c’est pas mal.

Varierende kvalitet, mye bra, men også noe mindre bra. Litt for langt 3\5

Gode sange men også mega langt album. Gider ikke at være en del af deres jam session

There is a 5 star album hiding in here.

Cool, good stuff. Very locked into the Beatles sound IMO.

idk

I know the man, giant Beatles fan, and his work. I know the album name & cover but I've never listened to it in it's entirety. This came out right after the Beatles split up for good so it has a little White Album/Let It Be vibe going. This was his liberation, his announcement that he's free and able to make hits on his own. I knew "My Sweet Lord" & "What Is Life" from childhood radio. There's good guitar work throughout but the standouts I wasn't previously aware of included "Wah-Wah", "If Not For You" (which feels like it should have been a radio hit), & "I Live For You". I could have lived the rest of my life without ever hearing "Behind That Locked Door" though. "Let It Down" sounds like it's from a future album of his, it's got a different vibe. "Isn't It A Pity" has a "Hey Jude" thing going on at the end, right? The 2014 Remaster has a great version of "Beware Of Darkness" on it that I wish would have made the original release. Not sure this changed rock music but it's a good album, one that showcased his blossoming solo-ness. Likely wouldn't make my Top 1001 but I respect the work.

Too many songs! I enjoyed some BUT not all of the songs.

Good

My sweet lord

Very fitting. It’s great, it’s fun, but it’s not grandiose to me. Doesn’t stand out ! But some good tracks.

Some enjoyable songs but a bit of a snooze fest

This was alright, a little better than I was expecting when I saw it was a solo Beatles album. Felt like it could use trimming. Favorite songs were: 2. My Sweet Lord 4. Isn't It a Pity 7. Behind that Locked Door 6/10

Pretty solid, but nothing special. My Sweet Lord was a banger, but I wasn't a huge fan of the Hari Krishna section. Definitely makes it an interesting artifact of its time though. I could see any one of these songs playing over then ending scenes and credits of a slowly paced, quirky 70's comedy and working very well. Album cover: (B+) He looks like a wizard.

There are a few good songs on this record but overall it's indulgent. Not enough killer, too much stuff that's just average. I'll freely admit that I like Wings better, and Paul's solo output better, too.

I zoned out for most of this album but still thought it was good.

Holy cow this album was so stinking long. I think I would enjoy it more if it was just the best songs from it.

Its ok

Never, been a massive Beatles fan and by dent of that never really listened to the solo albums either. Having said that, I did lodge with a guy a number years agao who was mad keen on this, so although I've never purposely sat down and listened to this before much of it is familiar. It’s a monumental album. Difficult to take in and appreciate in one day but I’ve heard enough to say this is a good album and probably deserving of being on the list. One track I like most at the moment is Wah Wah. I will endeavour to give it more listening time.

There were good moments on this but it was too samey and not high enough quality to justify 2 hours.

Too long. But fortunately, this too shall pass.

Chill, folksy rock

It's fine but nothing really stands out. I didn't dislike anything but it all just blends together.

It's good, it's just too long. Will I listen to again: 20%

This album feels like a quiet dawn after a storm. It’s big and warm, with something like Dylan’s ease but richer, fuller, almost like a garden that’s grown wild. The songs have layers, some parts sharp and direct, others soft and buried deep. There's a steady, soulful weight that pulls you in, reminiscent of something out of Clapton’s bluesier moments, but with a lighter touch. It’s not showy, but there’s a lot here if you sit with it.

He had lots of songs from his times with the band, so although big album there were lots of quality tracks

Eh, some good things here but nothing I would seek out.

Within a year of the Beatles’ breakup, George releases this epic double album? Yeah, he was clearly ready to move on. I can just imagine what he was thinking in those final days: “for fuck’s sake, I’ve got songs to write and here I sit watching all this passive aggressive bullshit pass between Paul and John.” Yeah, isn’t it a pity? Well, George is finally free, and he has a lot to say and a quiet, introspective, religious heart to express. He’s come out of his cocoon and can finally spread his wings, and you know what? He’s beautiful.

Great album by a solo Beatle. Never heard any of these songs but there is a wide variety for such a long album. The latter half of the album does become a long jame session which I honestly could have gone without to cut some time on the full runtime. 6/10

The longer the album went (and it's basically three LPs), the angrier I got. When would this thing pass? All sounding more or less the same, hippyesk acoustic guitar kumbayah. Bo-ring. And then the Apple Jam started. Wow. Which was dismissed by most professional critics, Wikipedia informs me. Which, in turn, leads me to conclude that professional music critics spout as much bullshit as other professional art critics. Giving it a 3 on average.

Well

Did not need to be a double album

This thing just kept going and going. A few good songs and it was pretty fun but why didn't someone tell him to take it easy?

Das durchschnittlichste Album ever

George was the spiritual Beatle and it shows in his music, unsurprisingly

3.5/5

Tunes are ok but lyrics are shit! 3

A bit lengthy and that really hurts it. This could have been an absolutely cracking 40 minute album.

This album should have been split into 2. The first part is nice but has a lot of forgettable songs. I really liked all the instrumentals at the end and thought they were the strongest part of the album.

Greit nok, litt for langt. What Is Life e jævlig bra

Ah favorite Beatle! Unfortunately that doesn’t really say much. I can appreciate this project, I like the influence Bob Dylan seemingly had on him and the folk turn is better than a lot of the pop he used to do with the Beatles, but there is just something so goobery about him. There’s a little too much of the beetles in this one for me to right super highly but for what it is I enjoyed it.

It was pretty good. He's definitely my fave Beatle and the songs are good. The album, as an album, however, is not great but whatever.

Chill soft 70s singer songwriter/pop/rock. Pleasant background music, but nothing in particular that caught my interest. Very long album.

lil bro on surullinen että beatlessiä ei enää ole... mutta ei tulevaisuutta osannut ennustaa heh.. little did he know...32 years later a legend was born... ooo ooo albumin viimeisessä biusussä pitkä instrumentaali loppu äää yhyyy yhyy pilaa albumin... its called an outro liberal... hyvät fiilikset kahden tunnin ajan... miettii mitä kärsimystä elämä on vuosien ja vuosien ajan... alkaa kaksi tuntia kuulostaa vähän lyhyemmältä ajalta eikö? kiitos george tästä paussista.. momentista.. nyt takaisin töihin... behind locked door

Some really good songs (My Sweet Love) but after the first part they became a bit samey and the whole thing went on way too long.

It's not bad, but it does fade into the background a lot. "Art of Dying" is a nice jam, at least, vaguely stoic, and with some Beatles-style vocal harmonies. "Johnny's Birthday" is delightfully manic and unhinged in its musicality.

pretty enjoyable listen but i don't really see myself listening to it again

Very long. I liked some of it but a lot of it just didn’t stand out to me.

Two hours is too bloody long to be listening to George Harrison for 😭🙏

This could be a 5 star album if an editor told George no just a little bit

Interested to listen to this. NOT a Beatles fan... Fairly indifferent. The melodies are complex and well written, but too often the lyrics are repetitive

It's aight

3.5

Maximum 3 stars: over 2 hours, plus the track listing on streaming sites is all screwed up from the original order. It's really not THAT far off, but it should be exact, and certainly not with isolated tracks right in the middle. Anyways, George was probably the best Beatle, this proves it, and that he had this so long because all these ideas were held up and let out "like a fire hose" to quote him are a shame.

This album is kind of a slog. I've owned it for over 30 years and it's only been on my turntable a handful of times. It's got a few great songs, but just isn't consistent. Honestly is it EVER worth releasing a triple album? With the exception of the obviously plagiarized My Sweet Lord, Side 1 entirely feels like it had to have been an inspiration for the Brit-pop sound of the '90s (yeah, yeah, I know the Beatles basically are, but this goes beyond that). There is some great material there. Side 2 is where it starts to slide for me, as it adopts a more country feel to it and seems to slow down a bit. Let It Down stands out though, bringing back a little more of the first side sound. By Side 3 and 4 I'm starting to feel the burnout. Nothing here really stands out, and it's all starting to sound the same. Side 5 begins the Apple Jam (which continues through Side 6), and it's mostly good, solid guitar based jams... aside from It's Johnny's Birthday, which is awful. This could've easily been a GREAT album if it was just pared down more. I understand there are hours more of these sessions and what we got IS a pared down version, but seriously... it needs more.

George Harrison has always struck me as the too-quiet and more-interesting-than-he-gets-credit Beatle, so it's nice to get one of his solo albums. Not so nice that it's a double album (I guess even a triple album?), I'll admit, but at least we get a wide sample of what he wanted to play and sing. (A little frustrating that the YouTubeMusic version of the album seems to be based on various remasters/reissues with tons of extra songs and outtakes, clocking in at nearly 3 hours if you chose to listen to it all...) My favorites on the album are mostly the ones I've heard before, like "My sweet Lord" and "What is life", although there were a few that I hadn't heard before that were fun ("Wah-wah" one of these, and not just because it's named after a guitar effect; also "Let it down", "Beware of darkness" and the Beatles-esque "Art of dying"). I also enjoyed the occasional forays into slide-guitar he incorporated into the album; they made me think of a very different version of Leo Kottke. It's also incredibly impressive to read the names of all the contributing musicians on this album; quite a who's-who of late 60s rock, and what a strange and fraught connection with Eric Clapton. Overall, it's not really my kind of album, but I'm glad we got a chance to hear George Harrison's voice and sound without McCartney and Lennon drowning him out.

5 songs

had no idea george harrison was the fourth beatle guy. this album is giving rock blues folk. it obviously has something "beatly" to it but there are other influences

I like this more than either of the John Lennon albums, but it can be too soft at times.

Too many shit songs at the ende, otherwise 4 star

A bit swampy, too long although I hear the geniality in it. My sweet lord is one of my all time faves. Growing up there were many formative records given to me by my parents. This was not one of them for som reason.

A fine album but underwhelming

This isn't very good. It's pleasant enough and has some great moments, too long. if it was released by anyone not a Beatle it would of been mostly forgotten. 6/10 This too should pass

solo beatles are the absolute kings of mediocrity

2.5 Sometimes good but often dull and far too long

Solid

I liked it

Some great tracks but there's also a lot i would skip. I love the Beatles and George in particular though and would bet that if I gave it more time and attention it would grow on me.

Very long, mellow hippie vibes. Wouldn’t listen again. Favorite track: I’d Have You Anytime

Songwriting's fine. Music and musicianship is pretty good. Lyrics and singing are boring to me. Overall result is fiercely bland.

Love George but again with the 2+ hour long picks! Wtf!!

Highlights: I’d Have You Anytime, My Sweet Lord, Let It Down, All Things Must Pass, Isn’t It A Pity (Version 2). In a nutshell: the best post-Beatles project. Fight me. It is long but stick with it. You’ll here an early example of loud quiet loud in “Let It Down” and skilled mates helping out on backing instruments. This is a double album plus a bonus disc (which can be skipped). Can it be trimmed to a single LP? Yes, but I’m not going there. It sucked that George was undermined as a song contributor in The Beatles, especially in the later years of the band’s run. Yet it worked out in the end - we have All Things Must Pass. It should be listened to at least once. Overall: 6/10

Not much for me to say here. Just good vibes all around.

I’ll just say it…I don’t really care for much the Beatles in their solo careers. This is probably a good album, and there were a few songs I kind of liked. But certainly not a double album’s worth.

Was a bit long, recognized plenty of songs but was never in a rush to resume it.

Definitely a very bloated album. I appreciate a lot of the songs musically, but the many of the lyrics sort of creeped me out.

Waaaay too long list of meh beatles songs followed by lots of jamming. Guess I am still a Paul guy 2.5 rounded up

Me seeing this album: George! 😃 Me seeing the length of this album: George... ☹️

Not a huge fan of this album, it just lacks..something. “What is life” was a jam.

A melodic sound jam that made me miss the Girlyman cover I loved of the Hare Krishna song. 3 stars. I like it way more than most Beatles albums I've listened to. I am tempted to dock a star bc of how freakin' long the album is, but maybe it'll wash over me like summer rain.

I think this is probably a great album. But it's hard to sustain that feeling over 2 hours. And as one reviewer said, I don't have the time to sit through it a full second time to decide. It's at least a very strong 3+ so we'll go with that.

If this album was just disc 1, it would be an easy 4. Then disc 2 fell more into 3 territory. The Apple Jams of disc 3 really went off the rails to a 2. Just had McCartney’s first solo album, and now Harrison’s. It’s really interesting to hear their individual musical styles coming off such massive Beatles superstardom.

Definitely needed some editing to tighten up some of these. There is a great album buried in here somewhere

Some good stuff on here but it's a bit of a chore to get through as there are just too many songs and not all of them good. This feels like George just dumped all the songs he'd been working on onto one album when The Beatles split.
