All Things Must Pass

I mean c’mon, two of the greatest songs from the best beatle. Awesome.

Classic. After watching Get Back, I am certain he held back a lot of his songs from the them. Harrison was always oozing with talent.

Lots of decent songs but far too many total.

krishna krishna krishna

Fun folky, Beatles-esque rock. Got pretty rambly at the end

After 30 minutes I thought this is good, I’ll give it a high rating, after 2 hrs of the same thing I decided to lower that a point. It was a good album that was waaaaaaaaaaay to long.

It starts off with some good tracks, but it is just so long. And it starts to become much more jam bandy later in the album which is just not my taste. No bad music here, but nothing to bring me back either.

For my money, the best solo Beatles album. Despite the double LP length, Harrison never wastes a single second. My god, what a wonderful collection of songs. It seems as though Harrison was the only Beatle who hadn't somewhat lost the plot, as his collection of songs is the most grounded and effective. I think most of this can be chopped up to years of being overlooked in the Beatles, which allowed him to slowly accumulate several years' worth of excellent songs that he showcases here on All Things Must Pass. This album also maps out some of Harrison's greatest musical influences which shaped much of his sound, most notably from Bob Dylan and the Band. I cannot think of better songwriters to refine Harrison's musical abilities for his "first" solo album. I use quotations there because he technically released two other albums prior to All Things Must Pass, but this album felt like a complete statement in comparison. I also have to give so much credit to the supporting session musicians that flesh out the album's sound to such an incredible degree. I cannot imagine how proud Harrison must have felt with this incredible and complete piece of work in his hands after years of being overlooked in the Beatles' creative process. Apple Jam is a cute little addition. Harrison is quoted saying that it "wasn't part of the record" so I would judge it separately from the rest of All Things Must Pass, despite being packaged together. For a collection of jam band songs, it's pretty good! Gives the Grateful Dead a run for their money. Really though, my rating is for the rest of the album. Beautiful in all respects and an incredible listen back-to-front.

Yes!

Some really good stuff on here; I would’ve loved to see more from him on a lot of actual Beatles stuff. However, it’s just so LONG. This would have been great as a single or even double album, but at 2 hours long it just started to feel like a slog. That being said, the first few songs on this album are really good, and more good ones pop up throughout.

When you're a former Beatle and decide to release a triple album, no one is going to stop you. It's still an ambitious effort though. 'All Things Must Pass' contains more of Harrison's compositions than songs than the Beatles ever recorded, despite his efforts. Had the band stayed together, Lennon and McCartney owed him more room to shine on their next album. Harrison really cements his legacy as being much more than the backing performancer to his famous bandmates. It's long and sprawling, showcasing a murkier and more jam oriented sound. But it's definitely one of the best post-Beatles albums and some of the best music of Harrison's career. As a side note, the version on Spotify has 5 bonus tracks snuck in at the end of disc 1. Kind of overkill for such a long album if you ask me. Disc 2 changes the order from the original release as well.

Starts off strong with "My Sweet Lord" and "Wah Wah" inside the first few tracks but then it just gets drawn out, like does track 4's "Isn't It A Pity" need to be 7 minutes long with an album ending-style coda? And then the actual album ends on a series of instrumentals that play like 12 bar blues... It could have been 5 stars, but it just keeps dragging itself down

Maybe the best ex-Beatles solo album. Rich and warm and so very listenable.

This album is pretty good, but dang was it long! Has some Harrison songs I know, lots I don't. I'm a sucker for lap steel, so happy to see that used in places, and overall I liked most of the songs on here. I would listen to sections or single songs from this again, but maybe not the whole thing. Still, solid album overall.

Lots of good singles here, but brought down by it's runtime. Especially the instrumental last few songs were unnecessary. 2.5/5

I prefer Wonderwall Music, but I can’t deny how much of this is George’s best songwriting. A little too long and I don’t love that last side, but a definite classic. B+

Perfection

The love for George’s solo album rests a lot on what is nostalgia / mourning for the Beatles - both his and ours. What is striking is how much he was able to craft a record which sounds the closest approximation to a Beatles record of any solo Beatle, despite supposedly not being the driving creative force behind the band. It’s pretty good - even the jams have something to them - and there’s a lot that’s bright and sad, spiritual and earthy. I can’t give it five when the Beatles have so many five star records but I thought about it hard.

this was fine.

good album from on of the beatless, good variety of songs but album was abit long

Good

I don't want to continue, some nice songs but just boring...

All Things Must Pass is a monumental triple album that showcases his musical evolution beyond The Beatles. Influenced by collaborators like Bob Dylan, The Band, Delaney & Bonnie, and Billy Preston, Harrison effortlessly blends folk, rock, and soul into a cohesive masterpiece. Phil Spector's Wall of Sound production technique enriches every track, creating a lush sonic landscape. The album features overlooked Beatles tracks alongside Harrison's new and brilliant compositions, displaying his songwriting prowess. While its extensive length may be daunting and after a while, a little tiring, All Things Must Pass stands as a testament to Harrison's enduring legacy and his significant contributions to music.

My mom also gave it a four she said “when the songs had words and stuff it was good I would’ve skipped the other ones”. I kinda agree

Liked it ab bit diffrent but good

Not so great. Overrated musician

Much as I like George a lot, 2 hours was a big ask. Especially when a lot of it was just guff. Some really lovely songs, a lot of filler and way too long.

No doubt, there is powerful and amazing material on this album. Harrison's guitar playing (and others who appear) is superb, and his vocal melodies are inspired. But... it's an overly long album, not only in terms of the sheer number of tracks, but some of the songs linger for minutes past where they needed to. Coupled with the sameness of the production and a predilection for mid/slow-tempo tunes, I found my interest waning well before the album wrapped. So, a brilliant effort, but I think Harrison was less interested in the listener's experience and was just brimming with so many ideas, he packed this with everything he had.

There is a 5-star album on here, but boy oh boy is there too much music. Two albums too much. I've never finished this album. Ever. I've owned it for thirty years. So I'm not sure how to rate this. Three stars seems harsh—again, there's a 5-star album on here—but at the same time, I have to rate this as a whole and boy that last disc is a bore.

George's magnum opus. What a statement to drop this as his first LP after The Beatles. The Quiet Beatle said so much with this TRIPLE album and so much of it always spoke to me. All the Dylan influence and collaboration is exciting but with George's guitar and voice--so so beautiful. I never understood the "plagiarism" issue with My Sweet Lord. I still think that's such bullshit. Though Thanks for the Pepperoni seems to borrow a lot from Johnny B Goode. All Things Must Pass was my mantra as I geared up for unmedicated childbirth and it was running through my mind as I watched my best friend take his last breath.

A little bland

The best Beatles solo album.

This is George Harrison taking a huge musical dump while extending two emphatic middle fingers directly at John Lennon and Paul McCartney when he released a TRIPLE album less than a year after the Beatles broke up. (And included Ringo to boot!) There's a lot of great stuff here and some not so great stuff which probably could have been left off to make for a shorter and stronger release. Overall I'm feeling a 3.5/5 but I'll round up because I really like the tone and vibe and because the good songs are really good.

Bro put all his rejected Beatles ideas into one mega-album. Tbf it has some nice treats.

Peu importe ce qu’on en dit, c’est définitivement le meilleur album triple de tout les temps.

I was so excited to get a vinyl reissue as a birthday gift a few years ago. What wasn't there to be excited about? Well, once I unwrapped it and queued it up and started admiring the box and booklet, I realized that George's Eastern philosophy missed on this one. So much excess, so much ego, so much...everything. Pare this back to 60 minutes or less and it might have been a clear message of the monastic Beatle's real and individual voice. Instead, it's just "all too much."

I have heard the album before on a different occasion — rating a George Harrison album w/o actually listening to it is an insane thing to do. However, I had neither the time nor energy to sit through two full hours today. Therefore, I will be doing a short review on "Cloud Nine" — George Harrison's superior album — instead :] Shoutout to Badfinger, my favourite guest band though! When I eventually finish my project, I will be sure to add "Straight Up" to 1001AlbumsGenerator. ── ࣪˖ ࣪ ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ── To begin, "Cloud Nine" is the eleventh studio album by George Harrison, and undoubtably one of his best. Although most people remember it only for "Got My Mind Set On You", it has a wonderful assortment of tracks. "Just For Today" is melancholy and heartfelt, both "This Is Love" and "Someplace Else" are irresistibly charming and beautiful ("I need you now to be beside me while all my world is so untidy!"), while "When We Were Fab" offers an immersive dive into George Harrison's salad days with The Beatles. The whole album ties together neatly and has a familiar Beatles-esque sound, though there is less energy and more lush sophistication.

My favorite of all the Beatles solo work. Absolute classic.

molto bello ma fin troppo lungo, ci si perde

l'ho ascoltato metà perché trooooppo lungo, però carino. ho imparato cosa sono gli Harem Krishna e ho scoperto di più su un personaggio un po' nascosto dei Beatles. mi è piaciuta la scelta dell'immagine dell'album. direi 2 stelle.

George sei il mio Beatle preferito, ma anche meno :(

Such a fantastic album. You can feel the pent-up creativity that moves through the record. Absolutely loved it. Listened to a version with raw cuts of My Sweet Lord and others. These really show how Phil Spector’s production makes songs shine.

This is one of my favorites! George benefited from having a huge backlog of songs due to Paul and John dominating the Beatles songwriting. In my opinion, it stands as the best solo Beatles record out there and definitely deserves to be considered one of the best albums of all time.

Oddly charming. Honestly, the B-sides put me over the top into 3-star territory. Nice work, George!

I was genuinely excited to come back to this. I had not listened to it properly in years, but I still remember buying the 20th Anniversary double CD when it came out and playing it constantly. There is something about this album that has always stayed with me. It really is a great record. For me, it is comfortably the best solo Beatles album. There is a confidence and freedom to it that you can almost feel. Harrison sounds liberated, stepping out from the shadow and delivering song after song that had clearly been building up inside him for years. My Sweet Lord, What Is Life and If Not for You are brilliant pop songs, melodic, uplifting and full of warmth. The production has that huge Phil Spector scale, which at times is overwhelming, but it also gives the album a sense of grandeur that suits the material. The only real issue is the length. It is sprawling, and the final few tracks, particularly the extended instrumentals, feel unnecessary. The album could easily lose five or six songs and become an absolute five out of five classic without question. As it stands, it slightly overstays its welcome. Favourite song: What Is Life Least favourite song: The final few instrumental tracks Album artwork: Iconic. Instantly recognisable and perfectly eccentric

Big 4, so close to 5 it is not even funny

My Sweet Lord Isn't It a Pity What Is Life

First listen for this album. Was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Oh George, always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Somehow, him looking disheveled in giant rain boots and a brimmed hat, as if he is some sort of mountain man (you see the trees in the back right?), is the exact look I always pictured of him alone. Just sad that he could never come close to his brothers. Ringo too in some ways, but dude was named Ringo Star, he's going to be fine. Ol George wasn't too bad on this album (I actually enjoyed it), and I've even heard that first song before. I'm sorry you weren't as famous as the rest, George, but as you've titled, All Things Must Pass.

Wow, this was really great. Kind of insane that the Beatles had so many great songwriters, right? Paul and John were the obvious titans, meanwhile George was waiting in the wings and totally capable of this too. Impressive to me that the *third* songwriter in the group put out an album this solid. Is this the best solo Beatle album? "My Sweet Lord" has to be his biggest hit, but there are just a lot of great songs on here, and the music all sounds great - not sure if that's mixing or engineering or what, but this guy knew what he was doing. A bit long, but still a great album. Glad we got it. Favorite tracks: My Sweet Lord, Wah Wah, Isn't It a Pity, What is Life, Run of the Mill, Beware of Darkness, All Things Must Pass, I Remember Jeep. Album art: Guy is sitting in a field under an umbrella, surrounded by stone gnomes. Not super special, but I do like this one. 4/5

Fantastic album. Makes you wonder what might have been if the Beatles had stayed together, but this is still five stars on its own merits.

It’s certainly a long and beautiful album that’s unfortunately not for me.

I have a visceral hatred of My Sweet Lord which has now expanded to the rest of the album.

Ongekend goed, ballad of sir frankie crisp is gelijk een van m'n favo nummers ooit

Awesome great and beautiful music that unfortunately has some misses too Favorite Tracks: Hear me Lord, My Sweet Lord

One of the most fun, laid-back, pure-joy albums I've heard. George knew his stuff, and he definitely deserves his status as the best post-Beatles Beatle (in terms of raw music quality). There are so many tracks here that are just a blast to listen to, with the added benefit of musical complexity that keeps both music aficionados and more casual listeners engaged. Isn't It a Pity, Wah-Wah, What Is Life, Beware of Darkness, Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp, All Things Must Pass... The list goes on, and there isn't a single stinker track (except possibly It's Johnny's Birthday, but come on, it's under a minute. Give Sir Georgie a break!). Add in the monumental and iconic single My Sweet Lord, as well as the run of groovy instrumentals that conclude the track listing, and you have a near-insurmountable double album. There's a spiritual vibe that really shines through, particularly throughout disc 1. Lots of organs, acoustic guitars, and pianos playing together, along with fun adaptations on I-IV chord progressions. It sounds pretty great. George's vocal is also well-suited to this (for lack of a better descriptor) preachy style. Not exactly comparable to any of his Beatles output, except for possibly Within You Without You (a very underrated Sgt Pepper's track). Some excellent texturing here that's apparently underappreciated, based on Spotify listens. Let It Down, Isn't It A Pity, and Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp all have an anthem-like quality that automatically gains my approval. They're also well spread out across the album, which brings me to another point: I really like the order of tracks. Reminds me of Low (David Bowie) with its fantastic instrumental final side, and just a fun, creative, diverse mix of songs earlier in the album. Lucky me - the third consecutive day of 5-star albums. I've living the life, truly.

This is a solid album but it goes on way too long. It’s clear that the Beatles underutilized George’s songwriting talents. Probably why he had so much material. I struggle on 3 vs. 4, but it’s going to be a 4 from me because George is my favorite beatle.

Such a fantastic collection of songs from the quiet beatle. I only wish some of the songs wouldn’t vamp for 2-3 minutes at the end. Sometimes they feel like they overstay their welcome a bit.

Wah-Wah makes this albums worth listening to. There are other good songs too, but none achieve the greatness of that one. More rock songs with horns please. More George Harrison albums please.

Great solo album from George Harrison… beautiful album

Long album. I enjoyed what I heard.

Lots of famous folks on this 'Layla' era album. Fun and open music, with interesting themes that others have built on since. Definitely seminal for modern rock music, this album is lazy summer afternoon tunes. Just pack plenty of beer—the music gets more and more self-indulgent as the needle creeps towards the centre. Good job I like self-indulgent blues guitar solos. Pretty good overall.

Very relaxing and soothing. Decent album

Strong album, but could've been a bit shorter

This should be the soundtrack for The Great British Baking Show. Just lovely.

It’s too long, but there are some great songs in here.

Glad that's over. Too long and pretty boring.

When I heard the first track, I thought this could be a winner; subtle thumping chords, tasteful Harrison licks over the top, and some lush production from the (now-murderous) Mr Spector... but as the album continued it became staler and staler. There was by no means anything *wrong* with any of the songs on it, but a lot of 'much the same' and no real standouts. I can't think of any songs on here I'd rush to come back to, and so ultimately felt like Beatles-esque background music for me.

Genius and thoroughly enjoyed

Definitely, one of the best Post-Beatles albums. I would cut some of the jams from the end of album 2 to get a masterpiece.

Extremely long, great guitarist I enjoyed the album he could have cut it in half maybe he’ll do that next time in heaven

Worth the two hours for the guitar melodies alone. 5.0/5.0: Iconic

Really enjoyed listening to this and realized how underappreciated George Harrison is in light of Lennon and McCartney comparrisons. Some of the instrumentals in the back half of the second disc get a little monotenous, but still enjoyable tracks nonetheless.

Feels like if the Beatles weren't as good, and way too long

Harrisons songwriting has always been patchy, but he written some gems, of which three are on this album. There is nearly a fourth: the riff to 'wah wah' would have made a fantastic song, but somehow the melody line and lyrics messed it up. A real shame. But on the whole it's all a nice noise.

Literally The Beatles 2. George Harrison always felt like the under-spoken member of the Beatles to me, but also one of the most artistically ambitious. Oddly enough, I don't think the album's really all that experimental, although it does have its odd moments here and there. I think my experience with this album was pretty magical; it was pretty late at night and I forgot I had an album to listen to so I put it on only to see that it's a triple album that's over an hour and a half in length. Nevertheless, I listened to this entire thing from front to back in one sitting. I'll say, if it was any other triple album, I might've not been able to do it, I needed something this easy to get through. While I feel like many albums definitively benefit from their length, I can't say this is one of those albums. There's no long-running theme, progression, or reoccurring motifs to hold this album together. Instead what you get is something sort of scattered, almost like a collection of songs from the same period. I'm saying this sounds sort of compilation-esque. This album is a series of early pop-rock songs with folk, hard-rock, psychedelic, and country drizzled in, and your enjoyment of this album rests entirely on your ratio of "liked" to "not liked" songs. Luckily for me, I enjoyed a lot of these songs. I mean how could I not, they're so easy to like. There's no use in rambling about them, there's too much to talk about but my favs were "I'd Have You Anytime", "What is Life", "If Not For You", "Run of the Mill", "Awaiting on You All", "All Things Must Pass", and "Hear Me Lord". The playing is soft on most of these tracks, very light, with the sonic space primarily consisting of piano, guitar, drums, and of course, George's vocals. He's a great vocalist. I tend to enjoy the "louder" songs here quite a bit less, they just sound a bit too clunky. The exception is the song "Art of Dying" which has a firey psych guitar line. It's also a song that showcases George's knack of religiously inspired songwriting. Themes on this album range from love, to religion, to political human nature commentaries like the aptly named "Beware of Darkness". There's something so deeply personal about this album, both musically and thematically. Again, I spent most of my late evening with this, and as repetitive as it seems on the surface, there wasn't a dull moment here. I think that's mainly because as the album goes on, especially near the back half, it feels like the songs get more ambitious and harder to read. I mean when you get to the final instrumental hard-rock-inspired disc "Apple Jam", it feels like the album's evolved completely from what it was when it started. I think that change-up near the end benefited this album a lot, I enjoyed those closing songs quite a bit. I do think the album could've used some sort of ongoing theme to make it a bit more cohesive but taking it for what it is, it was a really well-done triple album.

Very good. Great song writing of course. But as I usually do with this era. had to skip a few tracks which were too ‘jangley’ Like ‘wah wah’.

Didn’t have time to listen to all of this, but what I did hear was lovely. Good old George. The fifth beatle!

Yet another unnecessary sampler from a now uninteresting artist. Regards to those in marketing who did this.

The most beloved Beatles solo album, I've been meaning to sit down with this one so I'm glad I got forced to. It's very long, even longer than White, and it lacks the variety of that album. I very much doubt I'd come back to it, but I'm glad I listened, as there were several songs I enjoyed.

This probably has too many songs and could do without the 10 minute blues jams (though they are really good), but there are way too many GREAT songs on here to not be a 5 (sweet lord, wah wah, isn’t it a pity, what is life, if not for you (great Dylan cover), run of the mill, Frankie crisp, waiting on you all, all things must pass). Best Beatles solo album? Probably. Global rating on this is criminally low.

Some nice tunes.

Good but way too long

7.9/10

You knew, the first time you heard this album, that George Harrison had moved past the Beatles. Seeing how many hit songs came out of All Things Must Pass was a pleasant surprise!

Good album-plagiarism aside!

God I love this record. Disc 1 goes full throttle, no skips just beautiful music. There’s just something about George’s delivery that sets him apart from poppy Lennon, and rock & roll Lennon. He’s like the perfect mesh and I think that’s why they were such a great group. George will forever be my favorite beatle- his music just speaks to me in a way that the others don’t. This record feels like a soundtrack and I’m the main character of the movie. Disc 2. Honestly tapers off heavily from the 1st half, but that’s okay. We get some of the familiar sounds from the first half, but also some sick ass guitar solos. Cloud Nine is my favorite record of his, so to begin there and work my way back through his career has been a trip. I believe this was his first solo album where he actually sings. It’s crazy because if I didn’t know any better, I’d think this is fully evolved George Harrison.

out of the blue is up there with one of my favorite ending to album I think ever. Never have I had an album be an instant classic in my eyes so fast. Listen some of these songs I would not listen to outside the context of this album but I do not hate them or dislike them they are merely messengers for this album to be played in. Awaiting on you all is such a great bop that I wish the Beatles performed. The Christian themes and wow this is the Beatle I am least familiar with. This is my favorite album I have been introduced to from this challenge I can see why it is memed to death as being like a music buffs favorite album or a douchebag for Brooklyn's favorite. I love almost every instrumentation and song and I want this record bad LIKE SO BAD. This is a 10/10 this is perfect in the way an album like this can be and a classic record that I needed to hear before death. Thank you

George Harrison is a prolific songwriter and this triple album is the proof. As his break-free first solo album following the dissolution of the Beatles, Harrison fully utilizes his platform to show himself as a competitive musician. However, while the ideas are flowing, not every song needs to be recorded and included on an album.

Lots of great relaxing rock, though he has a very stagnant style imo that doesn’t deviate too much from song to song (if you like one song you’ll like em all) 3.0

Very good

Loved

I was expecting to like this a lot more

Enjoyable background music, but doesn’t really catch you for the most part. You can tell it wasn’t a cohesive work, but just kind of everything he was working on

# Playlist track - All things must pass # Notes - Amazing listen. Great tracks like "Beware Of Darkness", "My Sweet Lord" and "What is Life". - Some epic moments and also a few that drag too long, like the closing track "Out of the blue" - It's worth the listen, but the 2 hour + playtime is a tall order and it's perfectly understandable to get tired of it halfway through.

Great bunch of songs

An absolute banger of an album and possibly the best by any beatle in their post career. George Harrison's pent up creativity from his later beatle years is finally let out in a truly memorable double album.

It's a bit of a marathon at just over 2 hours long, but it delivers some great tunes and showcases George's masterful songwriting.

This album has been a good friend in my hardest days. I miss you George.

haaalllllilluuuujah doo doo doooo dooo dooo - good album all round I reckon, it has nice guitar noises

My kind of easy listening album, but why did this need to be 2 hours long? It also does matter that these songs were essentially not deemed good enough to be played by the Beatles. I liked the upbeat songs - it's Johnny's Birthday was a fun surprise!

Wow! Great album! Great forever songs! I love George Harrison, and this is good.

Sorry george, ik vind het wel soort van mooi ofzo, maar ook saai

This feels like a collection of songs that weren't good enough to make it on another album. It's just far too long and only a few of the songs are strong enough to be remembered. I like the Beatles and George Harrison but find it absurd how every single mediocre b-side ever written by these people is treated with universal acclaim

That made my morning commute and the first two hours of work amazing! Going to keep that one on the phone for mobile listening in the future.

5/10

Classic but wears out its welcome. Would prefer 3,5 stars but 4 is not possible and it's closer to a three

Some of these songs don't know when to be over, and I could do without the God/Jesus content. But I like the general sound -- definitely shades of the Beatles in there combined with his own cool 1970s thing.

Feels like I’ve heard these songs a lot, must be through the company I keep that they come on often

Disc 1 earns a 5-star rating, but Disc 2 holds it back for getting Beatles weird.

I love a lot of the songs on this album but it is very long!! Like I dont need the backing tracks is what im saying! hahaha would be a perfect album without those extras. SO good but too long

Great

Nearly 5 stars, could do with trimming a few tracks off. But some stunning songs here, and lyrical guitar playing.

this is a big album, full of georges neglected songs, both by his former bandmates and even by george himself. what gets me about the songs here is that it has a whole bunch of great songs, but theyre so split. beware of darkness and the title track are both on the second disc, and theyre great. for me its a great collection of songs filled with and hour+ of not so good stuff, resulting in an album i rarely bring myself to listening to its whole. still great songs tho.

Amazing album, but I knew this one already

I love this album with my heart and soul, my sweet lord makes me feel an emotion that’s indescribable

I love this album - just good music. Disc 1 is nearly perfect,And then moving to disc two, my favorite song on the album - "All Things Must Pass". One of the best (if not the best) Beatles related projects.

Such a nice listen. You can tell the Dylan influences in parts of the album.

Great album Standout songs: Wah Wah Let it Down Awaiting on you All Art of Dying

Three classic songs (My Sweet Lord, What Is Life and Isn't It A Pity) make the album essential. Unfortunately, they don't disguise the fact that it's bloated and incredibly overrated. Jesus, a TRIPLE album, George? An argument can be made that sequencing the ten best songs here condensed down to one single album would stand as the finest solo album of any Beatle. But the listener shouldn't have to put in that work. Who do we blame for giving us homework? Surely not the former Beatle. So let's pin it on the convicted murderer. Sources in indicate it was producer Phil Spector who suggested Harrison's wealth of material was as good as anything the Fabs released. Isn't it a pity that no one was willing to trim the fat.

Some really strong singles and then some twangy filler.

Love it, and underrated Beatle

bleibt Produktionstechnisch und qualitativ hinter den Beatles zurück aber ein paar Melodien und licks sind eingängig. Insgesamt sind die songs zu simpel.

4 stars

A long album. Plays nicely in the background. Would listen to in the background again

No single Beatle is better than all the Beatles, and that includes George. Some of my favorite Beatles songs are written by Harrison, but his solo work on this album is pretty generic late 60’s jam psychedelic. There is some awesome guitar work on this record, and some really great country-inspired slide work, but other songs are pretty basic blues progressions that lack the musicality of previous Harrison melodies. Also, two hours is way too long; there’s a solid album in here somewhere that could’ve benefited from some discerning curation.

Loved it

Took a few days to digest this fully and there are some outstanding songs here, certainly close to being a 5 but I felt it just dragged a bit. It's a huge volume of work and such consistently high quality. In a way it might have been better as a tight, 12 track masterpiece but at least this way we get more of Harrison's genius, just spread across three discs, including all of the filler.

Un poco largo.

Sone much songs and guitar playing. whole album too long

We are lucky to have George Harrison. Eric Clapton did not deserve him. Interesting to learn Derek and the Dominoes spawned from this recording project. His individuality from the Beatles really shines through here. The album is long, but easy to listen to in all of its' twists and turns.

Super solid album, so close to five stars. I'm a little surprised that of all the Beatles George Harrison would be my favorite but here we are.

Let it down and my sweet lord are clear standouts. Always a good listen

Easy listening, My Sweet Lord was my favorite song.

So fun to find an undiscovered talent, this guy has some serious potential and could really make it big one day. “My Sweet Lord” is an incredible song.

Some classic stuff on here.

Very hippie indian vibes - Super cool but possibly wasn’t in the mood.

George is great, but this was a good not great album

Great album, experimental, George had an interesting approach to music and it shows with his incorporations of sounds and themes. His use of his spiritualism.

Hey ich has es mega herzigs album gfunde wo mega spass gmacht hett zum lose! Eigetlich immer recht cute, mengisch chli zuu hippie für mich (hare krishna und so) aber susch sehr stabiiiil

Klar isch denebed gsi vom paul und em yon lenon dases so wenig lieder vom jor harison uf d beatles albe loh hend aber uf dem album hets echli z viel songs vo ihm.

gorg time erste song schomol suuuper schön my sweet lord kenni norml banger. het kei strophe oder refrain oder so, sehr meditativ hinduismus moment. aber chords huere geil wah-wah huuere schöni akkörd und goht no recht los. ringo on the drums!! billy preston on keys!! peter frampton on guitar!! huere geil. isn't it a pity wieder mega gorg beatles song vibe de siech cha lieder schribe holy shit. slide guitar shit isch huere geil.

Het is een lastig en lang album, maar zo goed. Die kleine gitaarlicks zijn goud. George werd altijd uitgelachen als nummerschrijver en werd pas serieus genomen met het nummer 'Something' voor the beatles. Nou hier heeft ie het ruimschoots goed gemaakt hoor. Vind vooral Isn't it a pity en I'd have you anytime goud en natuurlijk de klassieker My sweet lord

3 albums in one. Three while LPs. Reaally? Some good songs in there

Great Album.

The best solo album of a member of The Beatles. His signature slide guitar, the mixture of musical styles, and the spiritual themes all contribute to a phenomenal piece of music.

Hallelujah! Hare Krishna!

Just a wonderful listen from beginning to end. Great album from my favorite Beatle.

Beautiful album to listen to on a sunny day. Will definitely listen to this again soon.

Lots of good songs here

Still playing my parents original box set . Favourite Beatle.

Great solo album.

Kinda sleepy. Would work when I want mellow music I guess. I could tell why the Beatles only let him have one or two songs per album.

Why is it two hours

too long

just absolutely fucking phenomenal, stupidest thing the beatles ever did was ignoring these songwriting ideas

Great album. Little long but only the deluxe version was available on Spotify so I'll give it a pass. Great songs and a really nice smooth flow. George Harrison deserves more praise

Some classics on here some i didnt even know where by GH. I'd have you anytime is so beautiful, everytime i listen its like the first time

Been big on this one for a while. Best Beatles solo project easily and gives even the best Beatles albums a run for their money IMO.

I really liked the album but deep down I just wish it was a little shorter and more refined .

A bit long

It’s crazy to me how so many people don’t understand the context of why this album is so long. George was so tired of having so few of his tracks end up on the record and having to filter so many great ideas. So this is him finally being free to release everything pent up so it goes against the ethos of this album to “get rid of the filler.” Of course there might be some filler but to hold that against the album when it would be the greatest double album ever (right there with London Calling) is absurd to me. Classic after classic. I’ve spent most of this review talking about other peoples reviews which I hate but frankly there are some really embarrassing reviews of this album out there. It’s almost unbelievable how many classic songs are on here. The filler makes this a 4.9 instead of a 5.0. Deducting anymore than that seems ridiculous. Rating: 4.9

Very nice listen.

I had Wings' Band on the Run yesterday and now this! Maybe tomorrow I'll get an album by the main man: Ringo. I've always said this is the best Beatles solo album (just beating RAM I reckon). Such a distinctive sound throughout with a slide guitar which (thankfully) never goes full country. There's a couple of close calls like Behind that Locked Door but that's excused because it's followed by Let it Down. If Not For You might be my favourite. Amazing song already but covered so well by Harrison, making it a whole different animal. Great, great, great album.

Poppig, ohne große Ecken und Kanten.

Day and a half later and I’m still working my way through the album. It’s George and I feel sorry for him,so I will give it a 4

This album made me firmly believe that George Harrison was the Beatles. I would say this is a lounge out on your back deck type album or something you put on right before you pick up the acoustic and write a new song. I may not go back to this album in the next 5 years but I will listen to more pre-80’s George, that’s for sure. Choice cut: My Sweet Lord

First of all, this album is way too long. It’s a daunting triple album (almost unheard of at the time in rock music, and to some extent still basically unheard of), not everything’s going to be a hit. The first 6 or so songs clearly outshine everything else on the album. The first disc includes the hits, the second disc contains some rejected Beatles songs (which are better than Let It Be), and the final disc contains the Apple Jam. If I was releasing this album, I probably would’ve eliminated the Apple Jam and released it as its own album. Though had that been the case, it definitely wouldn’t have reached the audience it did, including me. Usually when I complain about an album being too long, I have suggestions on songs to cut, but it’s hard to do that here. It’s a monumental effort and a bit too daunting, but the quality doesn’t suffer. Second, this is not necessarily the best post-Beatles album, nor is it my favorite (John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band is my favorite), but with this album George Harrison solidified himself as the heir to the Beatles in the wake of their breakup. And I think it’s the best breakup album ever made. Lennon went off in a different art-pop direction. McCartney didn’t really make anything very good for another 3 years (until Band on the Run). And Ringo… I can’t honestly say I’ve ever listened to a Ringo Starr album, though some of his singles are decent. A bit of everything that made the Beatles great towards the end of their career is present on this album, including the collaborative effort: Derek & the Dominos formed as a result of them meeting and performing together on this album; Badfinger performed on many of the tracks; the honorary 5th Beatle, Billy Preston, is here; Klaus Voorman; Alan White (the future drummer of Yes); Ringo plays on most tracks; even John and Yoko show up for some background handclaps; Harrison co-wrote songs with Bob Dylan and performed some on this album. After this album and the Concert for Bangladesh, Harrison really didn’t do much of note until the Traveling Wilburys. But I truly believe that this album alone solidifies him as the greatest Beatle post-Beatles.

Wide range of songs going from McCartney diss to emotional songs to 3 blues jams to end the album. Very lengthy album but went by faster than I expected, many beautiful songs in this.

Georgie was cooking for 4 years and served up a feast of bangers 🙏 It gets better every time I give it a listen. Not counting the ”Apple Jam” songs since it was a bonus disc but those aren’t bad either! 5 stars

George Smokeson... kändes lite som att han fick sina allra bästa låtar ur systemet med the Beatles. Bortsett några alltför långa jams va de nice thou!

Had some incredible tracks What is life I dig love Out of the blue

George Harrison déballe tout ce qu’il avait amassé dans ses cartons pendant les Beatles, et il y a beaucoup de jolies choses mais il en déballe sans doute un peu trop vu que l’album fait 2h15, et tout n’est pas indispensable. D’excellentes chansons, comme “My Sweet Lord” et “Isn’t it a pity” se retrouvent avec une moins bonne entre deux, comme “Wah wah”.... Quand les titres sont bons ils sont vraiment très très bons, comme “What is life”, “I live for you”, “Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let it Roll)”, “The art of dying”. Harrison a déclaré au moment de la sortie : “Je me suis senti comme un homme constipé pendant des années, et qui aurait subitement eu la diarrhée” et ça résume assez bien. Certaines choses sont en trop, comme les backing tracks, les démos, deuxièmes versions (les titres 11 à 15 ne sont que ça, deux “Isn’t it a pity” quasi identiques), les sessions de jam qui font gonfler la durée de l’ensemble (“I remember Jeep”, 8 minutes, “Out of the blue”, 11 minutes difficilement tenables… les 25 dernières minutes sont de trop). En bonus, sur un 2eme CD, pourquoi pas, mais là tout se retrouve mélangé pêle mêle, donnant un aspect un peu étrange et foutraque à l’album. A chacun de faire la sélection que George Harrison n’a pas voulu faire lui-même pour y trouver l’album génial qu’il souhaite.

There are lot of incredible things about this album. Some of the songs are truly truly great - My Sweet Lord being the obvious choice but also I’d Have You Any Time, Awaiting On You All, Art of Dying. There are also a lot of songs that are just… fine. And if there were just one or two it would be easier to overlook, but there are a LOT of songs on this thing. Apple Jam, the third LP that’s basically just blues instrumentals, goes pretty hard but does it need to go on for 30 minutes? This is always heralded as a triple album but it’s really a solid-if-a-little-inconsistent double album with some needless vamping slapped on at the end. The very last track doesn’t even sound like it’s been mixed! Isn’t It a Pity is a beautiful song and a highlight of the album… but do we need it in full twice? Do we need a single second of the song Apple Scruffs? It really is a pity because if this was more reined in and only focused on the highlights it would be on par with the best Beatles records but, as it is, it’s a fucking chore

Muutama leiskautus ja muuten kovin tasapaksua, mutta jokseenkin viihdyttävää menoa. Niukasti kolmonen.

Liian pitkä. Ei keskittyminen riittänyt ja tuli kuunneltua niin monessa pätkässä, että ei noussut ihmeellisesti esiin

I didn't know what to expect, but this was a pleasant album to listen to. Very relaxed. I'm not sure if it's something I'd intentionally seek out, but I would have no problem listening to it again.

Great album!

Decent album but very long

Some great cuts overlong

Likd

For someone who had a lot of music to express after naturally being stuck behind the wall of McCartney/Lennon, George Harrison really didn’t disappoint. In fact he produced a monster of an album which in my opinion still outshines any other of the post-Beatles solo records. This album is a full realisation of George Harrison’s talents. Every song is full of life, moving lyrics and amazing instrumental performances.

Pretty good, very Beatles-esque, tad too long though.

Excellent.

Would have been a much stronger single album.

Love love love

Not bad at all. 3.5 stars.

This is one of my go-to comfort albums. George Harrison summed up the human experience with his clever writing with themes of love, life, disappointment, spirituality, and death. All songs are beautifully performed & I have a soft spot for What Is Life & My Sweet Lord - both need to be played at my funeral. Wah-Wah is fantastic in that it was written after a spat with Paul McCartney yet it sounds so uplifting & catchy. This is music gold & definitely deserves to be on the list.

Next to John, George is probably my favourite Beatle. He was the quiet one. The introspective one. And boy does a lot of that come through in this album. It's funny how echoes of The Beatles sound occur in all the post Beatles works and you can tell who's fingerprints are on which Beatles Classics just by listening to their solo work. Great album. What Is Life is a forever favourite song.

Amazing album from start to finish. He deserves much more love for this than he has been given. The newer videos are so cool, too. Such classic, mellow music. This is a great one to have on the 1001 list.

Hier ist das Meisterwerk vom kleinen stets unterschätzten Beatle "George Harrison". So kann man es meist lesen in den Musiklexika. "My Sweet Lord" kennt jeder, aber den Rest nur die Fans. Und man ist wirklich positiv überrascht, was dieses Album für große Diamanten birgt. Man könnte auch meinen, dass dies ein weiteres Beatles-Album darstellt. Großartig. Unbedingt reinhören.

so many double albums 😠

I liked this album. I already knew the songs My Sweet Lord and What is Life but the rest is also interresting. Album added to favorites and will be listened to again in the future. Short rant, I only listened to the tracks present on the original release please stop padding later releases with irrelevant nonsense. Also please stop re-re-re-mastering, it rarely increases the sound quality usually it has the opposite effect.

the first half was pretty standard beatles-esque stuff, but i think the second half of this album is where it shines with some great hard blues rock in there, the album itself is a bit long but the second half is very easy listening

Nice guitar playing, boring vocals. Overall pretty bland

I think this was the first time I listened to this all the way through, and even then I put it off for a couple of days because who has the time. BUT I love it. Hit me just right. Excited to be a peaceful long-haired Hare Krishna.

4 George's only truly great solo album (sorry). Fave songs: My Sweet lord, I'd have you anytime, All things must pass, wah wah

A big range of songs. Some well known like "My Sweet Lord", some average ones and some great instrumental pieces at the end of the second cd (I listened to the 2014 Remaster version.

Classic tunes

Lovely album, one of the greatest of all time. George released from the shackles of the Beatles. Good album to listen to on a cloudy afternoon. Have this on vinyl.

George Harrison was the best Beatle and this is an incredible album, frankly, I wish it was longer.

At first I was put off by the length, but I ended up really enjoying this album. The production and song writing is top notch. There are a few duds here and there, but that is to be expected with this many songs. I doubt I will ever listen to the bonus tracks/jam again, but the main album is surprisingly good. 4.5

Perfect storm for me: evocative lyrics, full and warm production, virtuosic slide guitar performances, and George’s vocals, which I have always been a huge fan of. I was fully engrossed the whole way through. Easy 5!

I love George Harrison, I'm kind of split between this album and Dark Horse, my only complaint with it is that its still got some beatle-y influence so some of the tracks dont stand quite on their own BUT Harrison has a really good sound, also its just way too damn long.

I really enjoy this album. However it’s too long as are ALL double albums

Too long without enough variation. I would've enjoyed a better curated experience.

Five stars for the generally excellent discs 1 & 2. Minus a star for the self indulgent disc 3. Loved "Art of Dying" - sounds like a James Bond theme song.

Komplett gut

Harrison got a lot of unique perspective and he really pours it all out on this one. Third solo album but first post-Beatles, so it really feels like a rebirth-- although many of the songs were written pre-Beatles departure. He had so many disillusionments with the band, however, that this album feels like an escape into his own inner-world. I wouldn't have it any other way, had some of these songs been Beatles songs, we wouldn't have as rich a garden to disappear into with this album. Harrison's reconnection with the sense of the divine on My Sweet Lord, McCartney burn of Wah-Wah, the gutting nuanced examination of heartbreak & humanity of Isn't It A Pity.. I could go on. The latter track guts me in the most beautiful way, and for an extra-curricular journey, check out Nina Simone's cover of this song which has you feel every fiber of the lyric's emotions. Another gem on this album is Run of the Mill, a look at the dissolution of male friendship that lead to the end of the Beatles, a topic hardly explored in songwriting. Despite all this bittersweet reflection, this album feels like a long, overdue exhale. It feels like the best kind of closure, one with plenty of promise of a beautiful future to come.

Way too long but quite a few diamonds in the rough here. Still almost a perfect album. And I read some of these weren’t good enough for the Beatles??

Many overly long songs on this album.

With a couple notable exceptions, snooze.

Nice not awesome

What an amazing person. I usually don’t like other peoples spirituality but I like his.

Was surprised by the mixed reviews on this site for this record, but i thoroughly enjoyed every song. The jam tracks at the end aren’t my favorite so they certainly could have been excluded. Not my favorite solo Beatles work, but definitely up there.

ok

Listened to it once, don't make me do this again.

Naja

A really good album! George was part of one the greatest acts of all time, but this work really stands on its own.

4/5 this is honestly better than a lot of his albums with the beatles.

Never listened to a solo George Harrison album before. I was familiar with My Sweet Lord, but not heard the others. Most were quite nice to listen to.

Standout Tracks- "My Sweet Lord," "Wah Wah," "If Not For You," "All Things Must Pass," "Art of Dying" Lyrics/Vocals- 5/5 Instrumentals- 5/5 Vibes- 5/5 Overall 5/5 This is one of my favorite albums of all time. The production value, the lyrics, the music, I think everything about this album is perfect. George Harrison was such a talented artist, it's no surprise that this album is nothing short of a masterpiece. If I had my own 1001 albums, this would be on that list in a heartbeat.

Had like one banger. Generally too slow for my liking

Absolutely adore this record. Harrison finally allowed to soar unrestrained and shows himself to be a truly S-tier songwriter. Amazing arrangements, such a great showcase for his slide guitar as well. Classic as they come.

1/29/24. Wish the Beatles would've let George written more songs. All very solid here on this solo effort.

Very soothing. Another good background music track. Definitely has moments that are very Beatles vibes.

Amazing songs from time to time. There's a lot of bloat on the album, makes it tough as a single listen

It was a decent album very can see George growing away from the beetles sound as the album goes kinda hit me in the feels because some of my personal life stuff atm

This album is a total masterpiece. I have never heard it before other than My Sweet Lord. Every song is great, but in particular the ending to the second part starting with Art of Dying to the end is outstanding. Will definitely listen again.

This album is gorgeous from start to finish, George must have been just keeping great songs that he could not get on the group's albums stashed and ready to unload. Its a great revelation of talent that we only got glimpses of during the Beatles run, in someways nore forward looking than John and Paul's post Beatle output.

This was really good. I was surprised how Beatles this sounded in parts and how George it sounded in others.

Hands down, the best solo album by a former Beatle. The last few novelty songs are best left untouched, but the rest of the tracks are an absolute tour de force. George has found his slide guitar mojo, and his songwriting is at its chromatic best. Fun fact, 'If Not For You' was our wedding song.

Was not happy about the 2 hour listen time, turned out to be great. New appreciation for George Harrison. Loved the mix of soft and upbeat acoustic.

High 4 not a 5 tho

Now heres an album that gives you a nice little vibe it has solid tunes and makes you feel good. little long.

3.5

I don't like the 60s pop sound of the Beatles. That's what I was expecting from this. Thankfully it was different - a more "grown up" sound. It's a long triple album so I won't rate/list each track - just the particularly good or bad. Loved the first track - I'd have you anytime Wah-Wah - a definite NO Isn't it a pity - 5 Star good Hear Me Lord - Really good Plug Me In - Great jamming blues Out of the Blue - Extra long jam. Top notch This album really, really surprised me. I liked most of it, so 4 stars

I Found sound not very clean. At moments even it slightly irritating

Sin escuchar, pintón de destilar wisky, haberse comprado un banjo y pasarse el dia con el cassete grabando mierdas borracho. Al final es eso pero a guitarra, es guiri el man

Album #10 I am not a fan of GH and this album is classic GH. I don't really have anything to say about it and the only word that comes to mind when I listened to this album was "Meh!"

Sounds fresher than most albums from 1970. My Sweet Lord is a classic and the rest pass by without irritation

What a way to kick off a solo career. While good things followed from George, this could be considered his masterwork.

I like some of the songs, but most are forgettable.

great album, one of the best Beatles solo works honestly

fun albummmmmmmmm 7/10

Beatles but more rock and modern. Innovative guitar riffs. Chill.

A classic that never gets old. The two disks with songs are solid 5 stars, but the jam disk only works under the right circumstances and one listen goes a long way. Hence, by 4 star rating.

A classic, if not a bit toooooo long. But I love George.

Beautiful and classic album from a great musician.

One or two decent songs, but on this list because of who he is IMHO

Could not launch. Tried all day.

Some banger

Was very convinced that RAM was my favourite post-Beatles album, but after re-listening to this, there may be a new contender Favourite tracks: My Sweet Lord, Isn’t It a Pity (Version 1), What Is Life, If Not For You, Run of the Mill, Apple Scruffs, Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp, All Things Must Pass, Out of the Blue

Can't say I've ever liked this album. Mediocre. Terrible cover of Dylan's If Not For You.

All things must pass...including this album

Makes for nice background music. My Sweet Lord is obviously a stand out track and some great instrumental throughout the album but 2 hours is a long stretch of time to listen to an entire album front to back...

So there are some classics here. Some meaningful lyrics and intense production. But writing good lyrics makes you a poet, not a songwriter. Don't get me wrong, there's gold here. But there's a lot of dross. Probably better with a relaxing herbal medicine.

I'd Have You Anytime - So peaceful, I think there is a kinda synth layering the guitar, genius. My Sweet Lord - Made christian songs interesting before Skillet. Wah-Wah - From a sweet christian beggining to sweet rock christian music. Gorgeous. Isn't It a Pity - The harmony is just incredible, the minute 2 makes me float, again. What Is Life - Just an amazing classic rock song, catchy. If Not for You - Pure Magic. Behind That Locked Door - If not sad, definetly nostalgic. Let It Down - I thought it was going to be some sort of hard rock, but the piano kicked in on, not dissapointed at all. Run of the Mill - Love the sound of the guitar. Beware Of Darkness - The VOICEEEEEEEE Apple Scruffs - The backing vocals are lovely. Ballad os Sir Frankie Crisp - LET IT ROLL. Awaiting On You All - Honestly, not my favorite, but still good. All Things Must Pass - I crashed my plane on Garry's Mod while listening to this song, I'll never forget it. I Dig Love - It truly dug my mind. Art Of Dying - Play This At My Funeral, and I crashed another plane on this song. Isn't It a Pity Ver 2 - I prefer the first version, but is still mindblowing. Hear Me Lord - The backing vocals, again, are amazing. Top 5 (Cause Album Long Is) My Sweet Lord All Things Must Pass Beware Of Darkness Art Of Dying Isn't It a Pity

Fantastic. Like discovering some long lost Beatles album I hadn't heard, but with a twist of only George. I've missed out on this one, wish I would've heard it sooner. Favorite track: Art Of Dying

Mi querido George

Iconic

first song in...this album is two years. i dont see myself listening to all of this. okay it sounds pretty relaxing so far. ill let this ride in the background while i get other things done

01) I'd Have You Anytime - 9,0 02) My Sweet Lord - 10,0 03) Wah-Wah - 8,5 04) Isn't It a Pity (Version 1) - 9,5 05) What Is Life - 8,5 06) If Not For You - 9,0 07) Behind That Locked Door - 8,5 08) Let It Down - 8,0 09) Run of the Mill - 8,5 10) Beware of Darkness - 8,5 11) Apple Scruffs - 8,5 12) Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll) - 9,0 13) Awaiting on You All - 8,5 14) All Things Must Pass - 8,5 15) I Dig Love - 8,0 16) Art of Dying - 8,5 17) Isn't It a Pity (Version Two) - 8,5 18) Hear Me Lord - 8,0 19) Out of the Blue - 7,5 20) It's Johnny's Birthday - 6,0 21) Plug Me In - 7,0 22) I Remember Jeep - 7,0 23) Thanks for the Pepperoni - 8,0 TOTAL: 8,30 (83/100) Not double, but triple album. My sweet Lord... If this was cut in half (or at least without "Apple Jam") it would stand a chance for the highest mark. The album is great, but do we really need two versions of "Isn't It a Pity" when the first one is so nearly perfect? George Harrison shows that he is as great as Lennon and McCartney are.

Best of the Beatles solo work. Proper quality. Goof loves it too. Apple scruffs is a jam. A line in I dig love sounds a lot like I love d@ck.

I was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes people with something to prove do manage to prove it. That said, it wasn't all gold and could have used a hard edit, so minus a star for bloat.

I loved it!

I love all things beatles. Well besides most yoko-related things.... but this is a great album

Yes it's long. Old Georgie Boy finally was out of Lennon & McCartney's shadow and was free to drop everything that he has been working on. My favorite solo Beatle release.

One of my favourite albums. So close to perfect…. If it wasn’t for the almost 30 minutes of instrumental jams at the end. At least they’re just there at the end, as sort of a bonus, so they’re easily skippable. I so badly want to give this album a perfect score but I don’t think I can justify that. Ah well, it’ll get 5 stars from me either way. Easily one of the best Beatles solo albums. Can’t even narrow down a top 5, there’s way too many great songs here. 9/10 Top 5: 1. What Is Life 2. All Things Must Pass 3. Behind That Locked Door 4. Isn’t It A Pity 5. Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let it Roll) 6. My Sweet Lord 7. Run of the Mill

te amoooooo 8.5/10

I was always curious about this album. The hit My Sweet Lord is memorable. The rest is a solid album. But, not the Beatles. I would not buy this on vinyl

There was a lot to listen to.

hab ich :-)

- Hears this many times before - Easily my favourite Beatles solo album - Very long, but I kind of think it's justified considering the amount of songs he had unreleased by the time the band broke up - Fav songs: What Is Life, Isn't It a Pity, Apple Scruffs

Not as good as I hoped. I have put this album off for so long because it is a 2 hour album, and I finally have listened to it, and its so meh.

Amazing. Great songs and great production.

One of the Greatest LP’s of all time definitely!!!

A lot of people making the mistake of listening to the bonus tracks, which are weirdly in "the middle" since they showed up on CD1 originally. If you're using Spotify, hide the tracks starting with "I Live For You" and ending with "Oh My Lord (2000)". With that said, it's still too long, particularly in the last few songs. Now with THAT said, it still is absolutely 90% gold and well worth listening to (sans bonus tracks) IMHO. Kind of a hard album to rate for that reason. I think it's not quite 5 material all told though. Definitely a 5 in there somewhere, but I'll call it the very solid 4 I feel it actually is.

Great album but a point off for the ‘jams’.

Fine

This album was so long (100 min) but so good. The last 20 min are just instrumental jam sessions, which I'm not usually a fan of, but with 2 Beatles (Ringo on the drums) plus Eric Clapton on guitar it was just amazing. I was like, "Over already?"

as someone who knows shockingly little of the beatles and their solo stuff i was glad i enjoyed this. favourite song was let it down

I really enjoyed what would have been the first disc of this album. But the long bluesy jams from "Out of the Blue" to the end of the second disc are all samey. Decent, but samey and not overly interesting. Unexpected banger: Let It Down.

I enjoyed the instrumental pieces more than the lyrical ones. Very bluesy!

masterpiece

Loved listening to this album. Reminded me of a Beatles album, post Beatles. A perfect album for someone left wanting more after the Beatles broke up.

I forgot how wonderful this album is. Every bit of George Harrison you could want.

Great classics. Album/songs ran a little long sometimes though.

My favorite Beatles solo album, but not the BEST Beatles Solo album.

yeah... That's about what I expected... pretty mellow, and not bad listening on a rainy day though.

This album proves that George never deserved to be seen only in the shadows of John and Paul. George was not just the extra guitar guy! George could write and play and sing! And that dude has soul, too. These songs are spiritual in nature and have a universal time ascending quality about them. And it’s a whopper of an album! Let’s hear it for George, everybody!

Eh, had like 1 Good song

Something very comforting about this album very early on between "I'd Have You Anytime", & "My Sweet Lord" Also, I had no clue he played lead guitar in The Beatles. That's cool.

All time favorite.

George had a backlog of material to get out due to his former band mates not allowing more than a couple of songs on their albums. Generally, fine throughout although some of the extended jams could have been pared back a bit.
