All Things Must Pass

1970 post beatles single contributor album. Randomly had eric clapton on it? Some good songs, very of its time to me.

This channeling of new wave and pop punk was a great breath of fresh air when it arrived in ‘94. Ear candy and really well made, but not best album calibre imo.

It was catchy and chill vibes, a bit Beatles effect. I like it.

i liked this albummmmm i thought the production was beautiful on many tracks. my only complaint would be that some of the songs in the first half blended into each other but i thought the experimentation on the second half was very interesting. the instrumental tracks weren’t my favorite tho, specifically I Remember Jeep and Out of the Blue.

I liked it

I often had a thought throughout the album that this basically sounded like the Beatles but with slightly less sauce (that’ll happen without Paul and John). There are a lot of good songs in here, most of which are on disc 1. And I’m glad I trudged through disc 2, which was mostly blaaahhhhh, because the jams at the end were actually pretty cool. But I can’t support putting out a whole ass 2-hour long album. A good bit of it could have been cut easily. Respect my time plz

Long album with some very high points but still imo too long. I definitely understand why he did it, because parts 1 and 2 were literally all material Paul and John didn't like and this was his big fuck you to them. I just don't think there is quite enough variety for this to make my regular rotation.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mid review for a mid album

Good album. Some songs I had heard before. Felt a bit same-y after a while though.

Wow, Imagine by John Lennon yesterday and All Things Must Pass by George Harrison today! Sometimes I wonder how random this generator really is especially when I found out last week that a friend of mine ended up with the exact same record as me on the same day. Because of the unusual changeover time for this generator I sometimes have barely enough time to squeeze in a complete listen of the album of the day so what a shock it was to learn that this release was a triple album! Thankfully it’s the weekend so I think I’m gonna have just enough time to get this one in tonight. I’m really enjoying listening to this album. There’s a nice and warm sound to a lot of these songs with a bit of bombastic rock here and there. Definitely enjoying the mix of different kinds of songs and finding the sequencing to be spot on. He’s really proving here how under-used he was in The Beatles but if that weren’t the case then we wouldn’t have this fantastic album to listen to. Even though the jams on the 3rd LP are not really a must listen (except for the one with the weird Moog stuff!), I definitely gotta check out his other albums.

3.5

There's a lot on this album. I'd have enjoyed a more focused version.

Almost a 4 but too rambly

This was too long for me to really judge fairly. It's pretty diverse and impressive for a solo artist in the 60s/70s.

Je l’ai écouté en travaillant et c’était sympa, mais je ne reviendrais pas dessus.

It was pretty fine

They don’t mind throwing you in the deep end with some of these! 28 songs and over 2 hours of music?!? Let’s hope it’s good (or atleast tolerable…) Almost a third of the way through and it’s fine, but more background music for me. I did recognise “My Sweet Lord” though. So far so non-offensive. The album was perfectly fine. I’d only really heard some of his 80’s solo material as it was in the charts as a teen. You can tell the styles are still fairly similar even though they were about 15 years apart. Not one I’ll be putting on any playlists, but didn’t mind listening to it.

I love the Beatles but never really enjoyed any of their solo stuff. This album is okay, there are a few decent songs but nothing that I find super exciting. It's decent but a bit boring. I only got about halfway through the whole album.

Too long. Enjoyed several songs especially Out of the Blue

Jest dobry, ma dobre piosenki, ale za długi jest dlatego 3

I like George Harrison's vibe even when I don't always love his music. This album was better than expected. But triple album?? C'mon, that's just silly. I'll pick some since from this in the future but I'll never listen to the while thing again

I probably should enjoy it more and I felt bad for thinking of giving it a 2 and therefore bumped it simply due to the number of hits. It's just way too long and repetitive. You could cut out 2/3 out of it and it would be a great album. It's just going on and on in the same exact direction for 2 hours.

Solid solo Beatle album, didn’t realize how much George was into slide guitar until this album, and made me realize I’m more a fan of George/Paul then John/Paul

1970, je venais tout juste de naître, braillant mes premiers sons pendant que les Beatles, eux, poussaient leur dernier soupir. Le rêve était fini, comme disait l’autre à lunettes rondes, et il était temps de passer à la caisse pour les soldes de liquidation. Et dans ce grand déballage de linge sale et d’ego surdimensionnés, c’est George Harrison, le "Quiet One", celui qu'on imaginait toujours en retrait en train de fumer des clopes en grattant timidement sa Gretsch, qui a décidé de poser la plus grosse pêche sur la table. "All Things Must Pass", rien que le titre, ça sent l'encens, la résignation spirituelle et le thé chai tiède. C’est le premier triple album d'un artiste solo. Triple, t'imagines le concept ? En 1970, le vinyle, ça coûte un bras, et Georgie, il se dit : "Tiens, et si je leur vendais trois disques dans une boîte en carton pour le prix d'un rein ?". C'est le genre de mégalomanie qui passe crème quand tu sors d'un groupe qui a littéralement changé la face du monde, mais avec le recul, on a le droit de se demander si c'était bien nécessaire. Alors, je te vois venir avec ton regard de puriste. "C'est un chef-d'œuvre !", "C'est la libération créative de George !", "Phil Spector est un génie !". Ouais, ouais. Calme-toi, on va en parler. Mon avis (ce bon vieux 3/5 qui fait grincer les dents des fans hardcore), c'est que ce disque est l'exemple typique de l'artiste qui a été constipé créativement pendant dix ans à cause de deux tyrans nommés Lennon et McCartney, et qui, d'un coup, a une diarrhée verbale et musicale incontrôlable. C'est la vidange, il avait des stocks de chansons refusées par les Fab Four plein les tiroirs, et au lieu de faire le tri, de polir, d'éditer, il a tout balancé. "Tenez, bouffez, c'est pour moi, c'est cadeau (enfin, payant)." Maintenant que c'est dit, parlons un peu de la production. Phil Spector, le mec qui a inventé le "Wall of Sound", ou comme j'aime l'appeler quand je suis de mauvaise humeur : la "choucroute auditive". Cette espèce de réverbération constante, une église remplie de musiciens qui jouent tous en même temps sans qu'on sache vraiment qui fait quoi. Il y a trois batteries, cinq guitares, un piano, un orgue, et probablement un mec qui tape sur une enclume au fond, et tout ça est noyé dans un écho qui ferait passer la cathédrale de Chartres pour un studio insonorisé. C'est "riche", diront les fans. C'est "bordélique et daté", je réponds. Parlons enfin du manque totale de cohérence. C'est un fourre-tout, on passe de la balade folk dépressive au gospel surchargé, du rockabilly sous tranquillisants à la pop symphonique dégoulinante. On sent que George voulait tout prouver et tout de suite. "Regardez, je sais faire du Dylan mieux que Dylan ! Je sais faire du rock ! Je sais prier Krishna !". Mon dieu que c'est touchant cette envie de reconnaissance, mais sur la longueur d'un triple album, ça devient épuisant. Attention, je ne suis pas un monstre, il y a des titres là-dedans qui sont indiscutablement bons. "My Sweet Lord", même si c'est un plagiat éhonté des Chiffons ("He's So Fine", si tu ne connais pas l'histoire, va écouter, c'est flagrant, c'est le même morceau), ça reste une scie d'une efficacité redoutable. C'est le genre de truc que tu te surprends à fredonner sous la douche même si tu détestes les sectes. "What Is Life", c'est un tube, point barre. Le riff est accrocheur, l'énergie est là, c'est positif sans être niais (enfin, pas trop). "Wah-Wah", malgré la production specterienne qui te donne l'impression d'écouter le disque la tête dans un seau d'eau, a une rage intéressante, c'est le son d'un mec qui en a plein le cul de Paul McCartney, et ça, on peut tous s'y identifier à un moment ou un autre. Mais bordel, le remplissage... Il y a des longueurs interminables. "Isn't It A Pity", c'est joli, mais est-ce qu'on avait besoin de deux versions ? Vraiment ? Et puis il y a le troisième disque, l'infâme "Apple Jam". Soyons sérieux deux minutes, qui en son âme et conscience, se lève le matin, se fait un café, et se dit : "Tiens, je vais m'écouter la face 5 et 6 de "All Things Must Pass", ces improvisations blues-rock génériques où Eric Clapton et ses potes se masturbent le manche pendant vingt minutes" ? Personne. C'est le néant absolu, c'est l'ego trip ultime. C'est le genre de truc qu'on devrait laisser sur les bandes de studio et ne jamais faire subir au grand public. C'est l'équivalent musical de regarder les photos de vacances d'un mec que tu connais à peine. "Là c'est nous devant la tente, là c'est nous qui mangeons des saucisses..." On s'en fout ! Jouez des chansons ! C'est du remplissage pur et simple pour justifier le format triple et le prix élevé. C'est du vol qualifié et rien que pour ce troisième disque, la note ne peut pas dépasser la moyenne. Ça dilue tout l'impact des bons morceaux. Il y a aussi ce côté "Hare Krishna" qui finit par me gratter. J'aime le mysticisme quand il est sombre, quand il sent le soufre, j'aime quand la spiritualité côtoie l'abîme. Chez Harrison, c'est une spiritualité de jardinier milliardaire. C'est "tout le monde il est beau, tout le monde il est gentil si on chante le nom du Seigneur". C'est un peu trop "Peace & Love" pour mon âme noircie. C'est de la musique pour s'asseoir en tailleur sur un tapis persan en buvant une tisane, pas pour affronter la grisaille du quotidien. Pourtant, je ne peux pas le détester totalement, ce disque. Il a ce charme suranné des grosses productions des années 70. Il a cette mélancolie sous-jacente d'un type qui vient de perdre ses trois meilleurs amis (enfin, ses collègues de bureau, disons) et qui se retrouve tout seul avec sa guitare et ses doutes. Il y a une fragilité touchante chez Harrison, une humanité qui manquait parfois au cynisme de Lennon ou à la facilité mélodique de McCartney. Mais est-ce un album essentiel qu'on doit écouter "avant de mourir" ? Si tu dois mourir demain, franchement, ne perds pas ton temps avec le disque 3. Écoute les tubes, zappe les jams, ignore la production baveuse, et tu passeras un moment correct. Mais on est loin, très loin, de la claque monumentale que certains historiens du rock veulent nous vendre. C'est un bon album de 45 minutes étiré sur une heure et demie. C'est un gâteau avec trop de crème, trop de sucre, et pas assez de biscuit. Alors oui, 3 sur 5, c'est généreux pour le talent de compositeur, c'est sévère pour le manque d'édition, mais c'est juste. C'est la note d'un disque qu'on respecte pour ce qu'il représente historiquement, mais qu'on sort rarement de l'étagère parce qu'on sait qu'on va s'emmerder sur la moitié des pistes. Morceaux choisis : "My Sweet Lord", "What Is Life", "All Things Must Pass". À éviter : Tout le disque "Apple Jam", sauf si vous êtes un guitariste frustré ou sous sédatifs lourds. Note : Je décline toute responsabilité si vous vous endormez avant la fin de la face 6.

Very pleasant

I enjoyed it and it was great background music for some monotonous tasks, but it all just kind of blended together and stayed in the background while occasionally popping out.

Fine album, but again I couldn't get into it.

George! Delighted to hear.

The ex Beatle surprised us all by sounding way less Beatleish than John or Paul. There's a lot of good guitar work on here but also a general sound that I find unappealing. And it's there on every song - too much orchestration, too little variety and nuance. And long - way too long. It was a disappointment to me then, and again today.

Quite long

Always frustrating if you have to check Wikipedia to see which tracks on the reissued/remastered/anniversary edition that's on the streaming services actually make up the original album. Took me about 5 minutes here (also because there seems to have been a bonus disc with the original release). Once it gets going it's, well, quite pleasant. It sounds rather seventies to me. It is hard to imagine we're only 6-ish years after I Want To Hold Your Hand. It sounds so much more grown up. It is a very long album - even without the bonus disc and the archive material and alternative versions - with long songs. Not sure if there quite enough ideas to warrant all that time. I like the longer songs if they've got a bit of a gospel feel (the Hey Jude fade-out is fun) but a lot of the songs are just the same chord progression and melody going around and around. Still, overall quite pleasant.

There's a lot that I like, and there's a lot that I don't.

It definitely sounds like a George Harrison album. It was average at best with a couple decent songs sprinkled in there. I don't think I would ever buy the album for this

Decent

Isn't it a Pity - really cool to have the Hey Jude bits element at the end. If Not For You - just cannot feel sad when this is on. It's all going to be O K A Y when this is on. Beware of Darkness - love the hopeful chord at the occasional and unexpected key change (for e.g. after 'weeping at the cedars'). Apple Scruff - love the weirdness of this. Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let it Roll) - first of all; great name. Love the woodland sounds from each speaker. Act of Dying - really cool dangerous sound to this one - the harmonies remind me of the Beatles I WONDER WHY THAT IS. It's Johnny's Birthday - love the record slowing/speeding up effect at the start. LOVE that it ends on great instrumental songs after that.

Decent album, a couple of crackers 5/10

I’d like it so much more if they'd cut out 60% of it.

hippie dippie

Listenable, with a few standouts that make me wonder if this is where Yoko Kanno drew some inspiration for Cowboy Bebop.

This is a pretty good double album of 70s pop/rock. Most of it is consistently good, and some of it is great. Lyrics are fairly standard fare, but the album sounds good musically. It could stand to lose some of the songs(did Isn't It A Pity? really need a reprise in the second half?) The jam sessions at the back of the album go on forever and go absolutely nowhere. If they were a separate LP, they would be nowhere near this list.

WHY IS THIS TWO HOURS LONG

Meh. It's alright. 3 stars. What is life is the best song on this one.

It's all very nice and that, but I got bored - maybe because I forgot to just listen to the original version and not the collector's remastered bonus bla bla bla...

It’s good, but it’s way too long.

decent music but way too long

It's fine. It's certainly far too long, not only in overall length, but the length of certain songs, too. There's a better album in there, but it's a bit watered down and there's nothing strong enough to make up for that.

Disco que hoy no era el día para escuchar porque suena a nostalgia tristona folksy británica. Como de fondo para un café o escuchar para la reflexión.

Good album, lots of hits here. I don't think I'll add any of them to my playlist, but I can definitely appreciate what's here.

It has its moments but on the whole just average

Chill album

Chill one~

Hätte das Albumcover im Garten von meinem Grosi nachschooten können, nichts desto trotz: nices album mit guter Varianz, das optimalerweise auf Vinyl und mit Raucherstäbchen gehört wird :) PS It's Johnny's Birthday ein Fiebertraum.

hare krishna hare hare…

Not bad

Another lost review. This thing was too long. The most boring person you know’s favourite album. Also, can we stop changing track orders on classic albums for expanded editions? I don’t even know if I got every song. Good music, but a bloated release keep this from classic territory in my mind.

Belongs on this list. A clear evolution of what Harrison brought to the Beatles and an awesome technical feat for first solo album. Well orchestrated/composed. But I just don’t like it much. Really torn on rating this a 2 or a 4, so I guess 3

Some songs I really liked, some I thought were quite good, then some I didn’t like. Feels like there’s a really good album in here if it was just edited down. Wouldn’t listen to the full album again but I’d definitely relisten to the good songs from it. I did actually quite enjoy some of the instrumental tracks at the end, but thought it was odd to have an alt take of My Sweet Lord - feels like that should be on a deluxe version - unless the remastered version has more tracks? (I know there’s a deluxe version too) Fav song: My Sweet Lord Least fav: It’s Johnny’s Birthday

Really liked it to start! And then it just kept going and going and going. After I’d sat through the last three songs I’d forgotten how much I liked the start. Favourite song: My Sweet Lord Least: Out of the Blue

This album is very inconsistent because of its length. I really like half of the songs here, but the other half is very typical and unremarkable pop/folk rock. This album would've been, like, a 9 to me if it only included the best 10 songs or so. As it is, it's 100 minutes long and a bit hit-or-miss. Some songs are very fun and catchy and utilize the Wall of Sound production style incredibly well. They sound busy despite still being pretty calm lyrically, which I like. The jam band tracks at the end are also pretty cool, I guess. But the others are just whatever. 7/10

Hyper emballé par le début de l'album je sais pas finalement l'excitation a dégonflé Ca s'écoute et je garde quelque chansons pour réécoute mais sans plus

Remove a few songs and it would be a 4

If we ignore the 'ex-Beatle George Harrison' thing, where does that leave us? It is an album with a 'cast of thousands', that is too long and with over-blown Phil Spector 'wall of sound' production which also blighted 'Let It Be' by George's former band (oh no, I mentioned the Beatles again). It is drowning under a swamp of reverb. With all that, it is a miracle and testament to Harrison's song writing that some gems still sparkle. I'd love to hear a more pared-back version of this album, it would probably be really, really good. Listen to 'Beware of Darkness' for what could have been... I wished I could give this flawed gem more than 3/5, but I can't.

It’s fine.

Was ok

Was the second My Sweet Lord really necessary?

A bit unnecessary in places but some moments of genius

There were some brillant songs on here but also some absoulte stinkers.

It was alright, little bits of good stuff but too much going on.

It's good but I've never been able to get into it as much as I hoped I would

Some really good tracks on here. Think this album is one that deserves revisiting

Cool that he covers that Galaxies 500 song.

Like it, but it is too long 3/5

6/10 - very beatlesey which isnt a surprise, if you like that sound you will like this

This album is pleasant enough and the jams are on point, but I found it to be really long. The last four tracks could have been a blues rock jam album of its own. The religious themes are a bit of a turnoff for me, as someone allergic to organized religion.

George Harrison's Beatles stuff was hit-and-miss for me. Some great (Here Comes the Sun and While My Guitar Gently Weeps) and some pretty bad (You Like Me Too Much and The Inner Light). Here, he gets to show off what he can do outside of the Beatles' restraints, and maybe he shows off a bit too much, turning what could have been a very solid single or even double album and turns out three discs with a lot of bloat. I figured he'd still be doing some Indian-inspired stuff on this, but I don't remember hearing any. There's a lot of rock 'n' roll, slide guitar, and country-ish stuff. Good: Wah-Wah, What Is Life, All Things Must Pass, Art of Dying. The Apple Jam stuff was fine I guess; it just seemed unnecessary.

Meh. It sounds pretty but does nothing for me.

Pretty good 3/5

3.5

Goes without saying, a great songwriter and songs. ‘My Sweet Lord’ and ‘Isn’t It A Pity’ particularly stand out from CD 1 and just a pleasant, accomplished and varied enough listen. Now onto CD 2… Maybe I just prefer a shorter album. All the songs are quality but just a feeling of getting my fill after an hour. ‘Art of Dying’ stood out big time on CD2 - banger and ‘Hear Me Lord’’. And prefer version 1 of ‘Isn’t it a pity’ (3.5)

Probably one of the only post-Beatles solo records I enjoyed aside from a few select songs by McCartney

Banger

I read about this album before listening to it, so I was able to strategically skip the >10-minute instrumental songs and just listen to the popular songs from the album. I guess that means that I didn't get the full experience of the album, but I'm perfectly fine with that. As a collection of rejected Beatles songs, this album isn't bad, but it does not hit like the Beatles albums do. I should get high one day and listen to this album from front to back to see if that makes me like it any better. 3/5

Not a fan of double albums, I find them exhausting to get through most of the time. In saying that, I did enjoy quite a few songs but just wish it wasn’t so long. This album is very clearly made up of songs rejected by Paul and John during the Beatles era.

Pretty good album with a couple of incredible songs.

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
