All Things Must Pass

Finally listened to the whole thing for once, heard many of the first side tracks many times before, this album is just a masterpiece and always a favorite.

George fue la gran mente maestra detrás de grandes éxitos de The Beatles. No es casualidad que su mayor éxito como solista sea esta preciosura de álbum. Canciones que te elevan y te ponen la piel de gallina. Gracias George. All Things Must Pass.

In case you need further evidence that Eric Clapton is a total jackass, he formed a band out of the backing band for this album and wrote songs about wanting to have sex with George Harrison's wife, and then actually went and had sex with his wife soon after. What a way to thank the guy letting you be the lead guitarist on the longest album he's ever made. It sucks that his guitar sound is so prevalent on this album, too. These are all really nice and bittersweet love songs Harrison wrote for his wife, and it's weird to look at retrospectively, knowing that they didn't last very long past this album. I still love the way this album sounds when Clapton isn't shoving his overly thin and tinty guitar sound into the mix, and he thankfully only plays in a few of these songs. Anyways, there are other people on the album and I'm sick of talking about Clapton. This is a great album. It sounds wonderfully reminiscent and a few songs towards the start had me getting a little emotional. I don't know what it is about If Not for You, but that one especially got to me. I also really like the approach to the track listing. Every side of this album has its own sound to it, like the folkier sound of the first few songs or the bigger sound of some of the songs in the middle and the end. The sheer amound of tracks on this album is great as well. Adding a whole disc worth of jams was a great idea, along with two whole discs of songs that are much better than a lot of the Beatles' main stuff.

Este album ya lo he escuchado varias veces, para mi es el mejor album que ha sacado un miembro de The Beatles en solitario, se nota mucho el trabajo que hace Phil Spector. Las letras y las melodias reflejan mucho el gran talento que George tenia oculto durante años

This was tough for me to decide if it was a 5 or not. It’s a great sounding album with great songs. I wanted to say this is a 4.7 or some bs but I’ll just round up and say it’s a 5. Semantics.

One of the greatest albums of all time

Might be the best Beatle solo project

Gorgeous and soothing

I really liked this one, which surprised me! Very psychedelic rock, peak 70s.

Incredible. A story, an odyssey, such a portrait of "fuck you, I'll do it my way." Biting, cosmic, joyful, so many things at once. Some reviewers on this site have shat on the Apple Jam, but I love it. Harrison was in the Beatles as The Guitar Player. After a double album of amazing songs that weren't appreciated by John and Paul, he straps on the guitar and wails for a whole other LP, just because he can.

Mínimo una vez al año hay que escucharlo. Genio

Otro álbum de la adolescencia de las girls

I could write a novel about it. I have a spreadsheet, devoted to my analysis of all the different masters mixes and versions. So let's say I'm into it. The short story is that this is George's explosion of all the songs he had bottled up while he was still a Beatle and it's spectacular. Having Derek and the Dominoes as his backing band didn't hurt. I enjoy it thoroughly from start to finish.

i love george harrison sm

Favorite Song: What Is Life

Surprised me how good it was

Everyone knows that Lennon and McCartney were the Beatles' primary songwriting duo. George Harrison also wrote songs, but either the duo simply aggravated him, or they didn't want to share the credit — in short, only one, or at most two, of his songs made it onto each album. Eventually, George grew tired of this and stopped pitching his songs to the band, instead writing them for the drawer. And when, after the Beatles' breakup, it was time to open this drawer up, everyone gasped. As his first full-fledged solo effort, Harrison released a triple (yes!) album whose hit-making potential is astounding. All the melodies here are calm, sometimes a little sad, yet bright, sunny, and warming. The lyrics are pleasant monologues about friendship, God, and love, accompanied by the signature sound of slide guitar. Two hours fly by. One could, of course, deduct a point for the third, essentially bonus, disc, consisting of half an hour of instrumental jams... But why?

A very nice album. I think I might actually have to say he's tied now for my favorite Beatle. Lots of nice tunes. Kind of a surprising genre variety, all done quite well

The man. Just the man.

Upon viewing the running time, many feel this album is too long. And yet when listening, none of the songs feel like fillers. This thought is supported by the fact of how much material was left off the album. Keeping in mind that this came out the same year The Beatles broke up, this album represents a healing gift to the world.

Best solo Beatles album

Spent my whole life hearing about how this is the ultimate solo Beatle album and... now I get it. I don't know if it's my favorite, but its only competition is 'Plastic Ono Band', and the two of them couldn't be any more different. Although both are emotionally charged records, this one is filled with emotions of love, comfort, hope, and a bit of spite, whilst Lennon's is riddled with pain, neglect, disillusionment and loneliness. It makes sense, as a pessimistic atheist myself, that John's 'God' resonates with me more than George's 'Hear Me Lord' does. On the other hand, my skepticism steps aside every time 'My Sweet Lord' comes on, and for 4 minutes and 38 seconds, I'm the world's most spiritual man. And I'll be damned if that doesn't make a good argument for 'All Things Must Pass' being the superior album.

Have you ever been in a job where you can’t complain—in fact, it turns out you couldn’t have asked for a better one—but you still feel like you could give more? That happened to a guy named George, whose job was simply to be the guitarist for an English band called The Beatles, but he didn’t feel he had reached his ceiling—rather, it had been built for him. That’s why as soon as he walked out the door, he took with him everything he longed to leave behind from that house, which had once been a home, but like every home, there were conflicts due to the very nature of human coexistence. Some people thrive on that; George did, as did his bandmates, but each in their own way. But this young man had something special to offer; in fact, it only took the first glimmer of light for him to know he was meant to be in the spotlight. For Mr. George Harrison possessed the talent that would go on to produce the best-selling solo album by a former Beatle. It is, in fact, a masterpiece in which each song reveals more fragments of the colors that make up its light. Instead of a somber atmosphere arising from the breakup of the most famous band of the era, the opposite happened, because this allowed for the release of countless songs and albums that would never have seen the light of day had they stayed together—making it, ironically, the best time to be a Beatles fan. That is known as the Art of Dying, and if you ask Harrison, this is What Life really Is.

An all time great and possible the best triple studio album release ever.

молодец британец порадовал прям ну наконец-то никто так еще не пел харе кришна и следом аллилуя

An amazing project by George & Co. Check out the box set if you're a fan.

A wonderful beautiful record that I really love. [LISTENED BEFORE]

A very rare 6! Better than anything the Beatles did together or as solo entities. Quality.

Trop long peut être mais quand même très bons

Que gran disco!! Este es el mejor de los Beatles, gran música, buena letra. Mis favoritas: My sweet lord Wah Wah What is life

So much art in this album

Lovey. Catchy. Didn’t listen to whole thing

Great rock album. The best part of the Beatles.

genuinely so so so peak, incredibly chill

Finally, it’s been a while since I hit five stars. This isn’t just the best Beatles solo album, it’s one of the best rock albums of all time. It’s a sprawling, emotional and deeply spiritual masterpiece that proved Harrison was every bit the songwriting genius his former band hinted at. Every track feels rich with meaning, melody, and soul while Harrison’s guitar playing throughout the album is absolutely masterful and recognizable. He was never known for dominating songs with flashy solos, instead he plays with restraint and feel by letting every slide note and melody serve their purpose. The slide guitar became one of his defining signatures here. The album’s musicianship overall is extraordinary especially when considering the backing musicians he employed (Clapton, Frampton, Ringo, Billy Preston, Ginger Baker, Bobby Whitlock), and then to top it off it was produced by Phil Spector and his “wall of sound”. The result is an album that feels deeply personal yet universal, spiritual not preachy, and musically rich from beginning to end. Harrison’s guitar and songwriting is what makes it truly unforgettable.

The argument for this being the best solo Beatles album is a completely valid one. George Harrison's first album following his band's breakup is a rare triple album where every single song feels vital and is meant to be there, with nearly every song on the first record being a classic. It's a phenomenal album that any other artist would kill to have made.

Great album

Such beautiful easy listening. Weekend morning music!

What a great album that I don’t think I ever listened to completely. Thanks George!

Phenomenal album. George Harrison’s guitar work is the best part of the album. His phrasing on lead guitar is always top notch

A great solo album with some fantastic songs. It seems to suffer some of the drawbacks of a double album, but I still enjoyed listening to the full thing. Rating: 9/10 Favorite Song: My Sweet Lord

What a sensational album. I’ve used this opportunity to really deep dive into it, as there’s a lot here to take in. Personally, I can live without the Apple Jam album, but the rest is beautiful. Difficult to pick out the stand out tracks, but ‘What Is Life’ and ‘Hear Me Lord’ are incredible. I’ve also read a lot these last few days about George, his life and this album. Just cements how much I love this album, just a shame it took me 56 years to realise it.

Have heard this before and had a pretty great time with it. 9/10. also first album on this thing yipeee

Älskar i Get Back-dokumentären när George pratar med John om att han blivit sugen på att göra ett album med "all me songs", och vilket album det blev! På det sättet kanske bra att J&P höll tillbaka honom då det kunde samlas på det här magnifika verket istället. Solklar femma och ett album jag alltid lyssnar på då och då!

Gammal spaning, men till skillnad från moodmanagern Ringo var George lika bra, ibland bättre, än John och Paul som låtskrivare. Över en och en halv timme låtar visar ju verkligen hur nedtryckt han måste blivit under beatlesåren. En man som äntligen kan andas! Så mycket vackert här. My sweet lord är väl världshistoriens bästa pr för hare krishna, och det som håller en från att sparka böngrytan ur labbarna på dom när de försöker värva en på stan. Isn’t it a pity är otrolig, i synnerhet version 2. Hear me lord, även det ett mästerverk, vilka mäktiga körer. Mot slutet också ett par grooviga rockrökare med mustigt gitarrspel. Out of the blue blir aldrig tråkig på 11 minuter. Eric Clapton är i högform rakt igenom, kanske hans bästa insats nånsin? Det gäller i och för sig också Ringo starr, Billy Preston och hela det ljuvliga rövgäng som erbjudit sina tjänster här. Även den skjutglade mördaren Phil spector måste nämnas. Produktionen är otrolig, så varm och atmosfärisk. Stod och vägde mellan stark 4a och full pott hela dagen, men efter att mot alla odds hunnit med en andra lyssning blev 5an solklar. Älskar detta, älskar George.

honestly best beatles solo work

Absolute perfection. Could've listened to it over and over again

peaceful, summer creek day, 70s, mountain vibes

great

1st song, i like the weird switches btween 4/4 n 3/4, quite groovy aswell as calm but not boring my sweet lord - thought it was gonna b a boring religious song. not boring actually wahwah very good i like it isnt it a pity - at the start, already like the chords. alr the end is abit long 4 my taste i live 4 u - cool guitar atmp - very nice, beauifufl song i dig luv - MM I LUV DIH its johnnys bday - wtf thx 4 the pepperoni.. what a name innit very nice ape bum wtf y did it type album as ape bum</3

Obviously a classic. Yes, it goes on for too long and might have been the greatest album ever made had it been one disc. Yes, Phil Spector’s production is distracting and bloviating at times. But this is such a pleasing part of the evolution of George Harrison, proving that he had a lot of good stuff in the can while the Beatles were still recording. This just feels magical, Beatlesque and epic.

Väldigt bra, nästan hela albumet (hur många låtar som helst!). Min absoluta favorit-beatle. Det här är för mig bättre än The Beatles på många sätt, även om det är dumt att jämföra förstås. Älskar Wah-wah, What is Life, My Sweet Lord och Hear Me Lord lite extra. Även efter 2 timmar vill jag höra mer George Harrison, ändå ett gott betyg.

Já conheço esse album, sempre gostei. Agora vou ouvir mais uma vez e ver qualeqé, se é bom ainda. Feedback depois de escutar: De fato, é mto bom.

in my top 3 records of all time.

After being stifled for years, George struck back with the tremendous 'All Things Must Pass.' It's overstuffed in the best way with ballads, riffs, and more ballads. This is my second fave album of 1970 (behind 'Morrison Hotel' and surpassing the Beatles final release 'Let It Be') and my second fave Beatles solo album (behind 'Band on the Run'). Top tracks: "My Sweet Lord," "Isn't It a Pity," "Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)." "Wah-Wah,"All Things Must Pass," "Art of Dying"

Turbo banger

Great album. hard not to like this masterpiece

me encantó, mi álbum favorito de un beatle en solista

Loved listening to this entire album on my morning walk

Discazo. Me gustó escucharlo completo porque conocía muchas canciones pero nunca en conjunto.

Es un gran disco, musicalmente tiene todo, nunca lo puedo escuchar entero, ideal para escuchar por lo menos en 3 partes para poder apreciar mejor todo. Sin embargo mi amor por harrison le doy 4 estrellas . Te amo george

No hay con que darle, el mejor beatle el giorgio

Fantastic album. Possibly the best of the solo Beatles albums. The first LP is flawless and there are so many great songs. There is this loveliness to the album that is very enjoyable. 5/5 Will definitely listen again

always great to be reminded to give this a few spins george voice comes directly from heaven, hes always been my fav fab, the guitar toan on this is as warm as a hug from your mother on the other hand there are a lot of cuts that maybe shouldnt have made it, im grateful that they exist but do we need backing tracks or first takes of songs already on the album? i get it you dont have to play the 3 discs every time but feels redundant the moog synth gives a strong character to the sound pallete, great contrast with the folky vibe, also great collaborators on the closing tracks jams and an overall massive sound imma be biased with the rating on this one

The sound is pleasant, and the rock elements blend together harmoniously. I like the lyrics - theyre not shallow or meaningless. there’s a sense of narrative or story behind them.

Amazing, can’t get enough of this and will be back for this again.

Don’t love a double album but wow I love this one

Le pongo 5 porque no le puedo poner 6

His first solo release after The Beatles breakup. Produced by Phil Spector and features the likes of Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton and Billy Preston among others. An album on an epic scale, the remastered version is two hours long, the 50th anniversary version is four hours long ! What can I say !? A wall of sound indeed, with lyrics, arrangements and musicianship of the highest quality. I could write an essay on this but I see others have already covered that and have done it well. So I'll just say this epic is an absolutely beautiful album. The quiet Beatle ! Ha genius !

Prior to today I had never heard any of GH's solo stuff and I wasn't sure exactly what to expect going into this album. I very much enjoyed this album! Fantastic songs throughout - even his instrumental songs were a great listen. There were points you could hear the Dylan influence, but thankfully it was an influence and not a rendition. There were so many varied sounds throughout the album and they all fit together very well. Great stuff!

Called one of the best solo Beatles album for a reason. George flexes such an incredible ear for melody and Phil Spector brings his wall of sound style to its logical conclusion. So dynamic, so heartfelt, so lucious. I’d give it a 4.5 if I could. The only thing that’s holding it back are the static instrumental sessions at the end and the every-now-and-then silly and simplistic lyrics that defined some of the Beatles’ later music. Edit: ok I just re-listened to this and I was being so annoying not giving it a 5. What a collection of music.

7/10

Ich mag den Sound. Rockig, verspielt, melodisch. 5/5

YESSSSSSSS

Super fire, probably my favorite solo beatle when it comes to song quality and such.

A little bit longer, but a masterpiece

It’s been a long time since I really indulged in any of the Beatles. This album has distinctly George Harrison vibes that we should all be familiar with and some unexpected moments. In general it has poetic lyrics and is gentle, like a cool breeze on a sunny day. It includes classics, like My Sweet Lord. Some personal highlights include: I’d Have You Anytime (such a sweet sentiment), Wah-Wah (for its tone and soundscape), Apple Scruffs (a fun boot-stomping bop), Awaiting on You All (just good danceable energy, although I’m not usually a fan of religious themes), I Dig Love (for the simple lyrics and instrumental flow), Art of Dying (for the psychedelic instrumentals), and Hear Me Lord (for the vocal layering). I preferred the 2014 remaster of Let it Down to the original track. Some songs that didn’t resonate with me include: Beware of Darkness (both versions), Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp, and the title track, All Things Must Pass. The back end of the album is really why I decided on a 5-star rating. It’s Johnny’s Birthday is a wild psychedelic romp. All the following tracks are more instrumentally driven and danceable. I loved Plug Me In, I Remember Jeep (especially the more spacey sound effects), Thanks for the Pepperoni (which feels like inspiration for GD’s One More Saturday Night), and Out of the Blue. All really solid jams that I can rock out to again and again.

Love it, probably a couple filler tracks on here that could’ve been omitted but overall enough bangers to carry this

I can't believe I almost skipped it. loved it, a lot of nice songs. like the instrumentals, vocal, lyrics.

Beautiful

This is Harrison coming into his own and not constrained by a group setting. His spirituality is on full display and his songwriting really stands on its own. It must have been tough to be in a band with Lennon and McCartney rejecting your songs... this record was his response to that. And it's an undeniable response.

The best of the Beatles solo albums.

Miercoles 18 de marzo, la oficina. 11:43 AM : Dos horas? okay, wow. 11:50 AM: Oh, es la cancion esa que ponen en un comercial. 5:19 PM: Okay, me gusto bastante y no crei que eso fuera posible.

really nice guitar playing simple lyrics that are relatable wah wah is crazy relaxing and soothing with a slight edge

A great album that really shows Harrison’s individual talent. It’s remarkable that he could put this album together so soon after the end of The Beatles, and the sound is a combination of some of their style with some influence from Bob Dylan and The Band, who I read Harrison had befriended in the run up to making this. Disc 1 is full of classics, headlined by My Sweet Lord and Wah-Wah, but there’s nothing bad on that side. The second half tails off by the end, but still has some good songs, notably the title track. Might have been a 4.5 on account of that, but I’ll round generously.

Maybe it’s cheating, but I’m discounting ‘Apple Jam’ in this rating. George Harrison himself didn’t see it as part of the album proper, and the first two discs are definitely in the running for the title of best solo album by a Beatle. It’s absolutely mad that several tracks were rejected by the others for inclusion on a Beatles album, not least ‘Wah-Wah’, ‘Isn’t It a Pity’ and ‘All Things Must Pass’ itself, which are among the album’s many, many highlights. Yes, the production is sometimes overly dense, but come on, this is without doubt a 5-star collection of songs.

This album surprised me. Yes, George Harrison was a key part of The Beatles, but this album feels in many ways like where the Beatles likely would've gone. The title track itself is a beautiful and introspective ballad. Along with the slower ballads come faster-paced rock songs, such as What Is Life? It's a pleasant surprise that there are numerous improvised jam sessions that fill out the album. Plus, any album with prominent slide guitar is always a good thing. I'll be revisiting All Things Must Pass.

My favourite none Beatles Beatles album

So so good. George Harrison's first album post-Beatles showcased his songwriting (when in the Beatles it was mostly Lennon-McCartney stealing the show). The slide guitar that's now signature for Harrison makes its debut here. While the album is a little long, I can't help but love all of it. Not "the quiet Beatle" anymore!

The guitar noodling at the end could have been left but otherwise a classic album 4.5*

probably the best beatles solo album, i'm not always here for the spector wall of sound but if i were to take points for that it'd still round up to 5 if i'm being honest

Coincidentally listened to this album like 3 days ago, great album and a more recent find for me (I live under a rock ok)

Fab soft folk rock album.

Favorite track(s): I'd Have You Anytime, My Sweet Lord, What Is Life, Let It Down, Awaiting On You All, Art of Dying There's a contest between this and Ram for greatest post-Beatles album in my heart but let's just say only one album has It's Johnny's Birthday. Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Thought I wasn't going to finish it because 2 hours felt like a lot. Put it straight back on when it finished.

If the Beatles let George Harrison have more creative responsibilities they would have had way better music.

Beatles mais solo

Favorite album ever by my favorite guitarist, singer and songwriter. ♾️/10. Fav songs- Run of the mill (fav song ever) Let it down Beware of darkness I’d have you anytime

I love "All Things Must Pass", but there is no denying it is a lot to take in. Releasing a triple-vinyl album as a debut solo statement was an incredibly bold, confident move, yet I find the best way to approach it is exactly as George Harrison intended: Sides One to Four constitute the "album proper," while Sides Five and Six ("Apple Jams") are a "free" bonus record. By viewing the Apple Jam as a gift rather than a core requirement, the usual criticisms of the third disc simply diminish. Personally, I like the Apple Jams. As George Harrison himself noted: "For the jams, I didn't want to just throw [them] in the cupboard, and yet at the same time it wasn't part of the record; that's why I put it on a separate label to go in the package." So much has been written about this album that I can add little to the discourse, other than to confirm it is a definitive, five-star rock album. If there is a fault, it lies in the original production; the "Wall of Sound" can feel a tad sharp or tinny at times. While this might be a barrier for some, it never detracts from the immense pleasure I get from the listening experience. The Standout Tracks: - "My Sweet Lord": Features truly great slide guitar work from Harrison; the definitive spiritual anthem. -"Wah-Wah": A massive riff. It feels like Britpop before Britpop was even a thought. - "Isn't It a Pity (Version One)": Simply a stunning, beautiful piece of song writing. - "What Is Life": Purely life-affirming. - "If Not For You": A Dylan cover that George completely makes his own. - "Let It Down": Brilliantly arranged with wonderful dynamics, a stunning opening, and a soaring chorus. - "Beware of Darkness": A brilliant cautionary tale against becoming too attached to the material world or negative emotions. - "Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)": A totally original-sounding song. It serves as a literal and metaphorical tour of his estate, Friar Park, built by the eccentric lawyer Sir Frank Crisp (1843–1919). - "Awaiting on You All": A high-energy blast of faith. - "All Things Must Pass": It is baffling that The Beatles rejected this. I tried to write this without mentioning the Fab Four, but on this track, it’s impossible. - "Art of Dying": The wah-wah guitar and driving percussion are fantastic. - "Out Of The Blue": The first track on the Apple Jams. I'm a lover of Rock music and 70's jams - this is great. The songs I’ve highlighted would make for a stunning single album, but to edit it down would be to miss the point entirely. This record is about the scale of the vision. I love this album, and the follow-up, Living in the Material World, is equally essential. Side one 1.

god tier

I didn't know if I was going to know anything on this album, but every song that I did know, I originally thought a Beatles song- what a loser, I know. I was concerned with the length of the album, but it was diverse enough that it didn't feel like a complete chore. Right when I felt like I was running out of steam, we get the funky and bluesy and jammy songs to round the whole thing out. Pleasantly surprised.

Great album. I had it on YouTube and the videos were strange. I do need to be in the right mood for it though.

Oh man, what a great album. My physical copy gets pulled often, and listening to it for this list was a pleasure as always. While Paul is my favorite Beatle, and I enjoy his solo stuff and Wings tunes a lot, this has got to be hands down the best post Beatles album by far, and the one that feels the most Beatles-y. The variety is great, but it all still feels like one complete album. No notes. Easy 5⭐️

It's really something that the 'third' Beatle could produce such a masterpiece - in 1970, no less. Sure Wings is good, and most Lennon solo stuff is worthwhile, and Ringo's stuff is whatever....but this is a tremendous (triple!!!) album. Such a fantastic mix of folk, rock, pop, singer/songwriter, and even some gospel and some bluesy jams for good measure. Glad he finally got to take the reins and show the world what he was capable of. Classic album status.

peak, finalmente something beatles

Nostálgico, wholesome, te devuelve las ganas de vivir y de amar

simplemente George Harrison

This is my favourite album of all time. I'm not exaggerating. This is one of the greatest albums ever made and I simply couldn't live without it. It was my top album on Spotify last year and will be my top album this year. It's actually not funny how much I love this album, the cd was like £60 and is my most prized possession. Fuck I love George Harrison. I dream about George Harrison far too much. George Harrison. It's impossible to even say what my favourite song(s) on this are because I love every single one. I listen to this album all the way through at least once a week.

One of my favorite albums of all time and one I’ve listened to a lot. Goes against my generally liking shorter albums considering it’s triple album. George Harrison’s sound here is one of the best. He took a collection of songs that include a bunch he never recorded with the Beatles and had great production on them. I know some think they’re over produced. But that’s what gives it such a great full sound. It’s literally great song after great song on the first 4 sides. Beware of Darkness is the 10th song on the album and starts the third side! The type of great song to lead off an album. When it hits you in a listen, you think how can this still have so much more left. It’s a remarkable song. And the album has plenty left. As always, excited to relisten to this again. Going to listen to both the 2014 remaster and 2020 remix. Over recent years, I prefer the new mix as it’s a clearer sound and George’s vocals have a crisp quality to them. There’s a muddled sound on the original that is part of its sound and charm though. Easy to forget how much of a rock jam Wah Wah is. Great song. Probably one of the best examples of that wall of sound. It’s literally great song after great song. Personal faves are Wah-Wah, What Is Life, If Not For You, Let It Down, Run of the Mill, Beware of Darkness, Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp. Only knock on it is that the third album jam is unnecessary but it still all rocks. As a double album, it’s perfect. It’s the best solo album by any Beatle ever. And one of the greatest albums ever recorded. A true masterpiece. Easy 5/5 for me. This re-listen will have me throwing this on a bunch now. It’s one album I’ve revisited so much and never grows old.

Nyt oli monitahoinen levy! Otin ihan tarkoituksella aikaa tälle, ja löin kuulokkeisiin ensin lumitöiden ja sitten parin tunnin juoksulenkin ajaksi. Tästä ei siis aikaisemmin olleet tuttuja kun pelkät hitit. Kyllähän tässä on semmoinen tosi voimakas Beatles-meininki. Ja siis melkein kaikki biisit kyllä olisivat sopineet oikein mainiosti vaikkapa Let it Be'lle. Harrisonin sävellyskynä oli kyllä kerrassaan huikeassa terässä tuossa 60-70 -lukujen taitteessa. En ole ihan kauheasti Harrisonin soolotuotantoa kuunnellut, enempi menty Beatles- ja Travelling Wilbury's -osastolla, niin se mikä tässä pisti eniten korvaan, oli aivan huikeat laulusuoritukset. Erityisesti Isn't It A Pity kuulosti siltä kun se olisi sydänveren voimalla laulettu purkkiin. Olikohan tuo biisi muuten kirjoitettu Lennon&McCartney -kaksikko mielessä? Levy oli toki pitkä, mutta ainakin tuollain lenkillä kuunneltua, se ei tuntunut yhtään liian pitkältä. Jopa se levyn viimeinen yli kymmenminuuttinen bluesrevittelykin toimi aivan saatanan hyvin! Itseasiassa yllätyin tuon jälkeen kun algoritmi heitti jonkun Elton Johnin biisin tulille, että joko se Harrisonin levy loppui. Seassa yksittäisiä helmiä, ja kokonaisuutena isompi kun osiensa summa. Tämä meni kyllä itselläni kärkeen Beatlesin jäsenten sooloprojekteista. Ihan saatanan kova levy!

A really great album - solo - by a former Beatle. Probably the best solo project by only one member of the original 4 of the group. He had an awful lot of help from all kinds of performers. It does prove that George had as much talent as Paul and John in composing songs.

Thoroughly surprised that this was so good

excellent album

Love with whole heart

el mejor álbum de algún beatle como solista me cambió y salvó la vida feliz cumple george te amo

There are very few triple albums in this world that when I finish I put on side A again. This is one of those albums.

hard to say which of the solo albums released after the break-up of the beatles is the best (mccartney, plastic ono band, atmp). personally, i think it comes down to this or pob. although not alive at the time, i would have to think this was the most surprising of them all. even lp 3 is fun. although the rest of his solo career had some definite highlights, this is without a doubt the best of his albums.

Сложно рассматривать этот альбом в отрыве от того, что происходило с группой в том году. Отцы-основатели распались в апреле 1970го, и хитрый Маккартни использовал новость о распаде для раскрутки своего первого сольника. Люди стали ждать ответку от Леннона и Харрисона, мол кто выйдет победителем в этом расставании (Ринго выпустил свой альбом каверов даже раньше Пола, но никому не было дела ахахах). Думаю большинство ставило на Пола или Джона. Джордж всегда оставался недооцененным автором на вторых ролях. Его так долго задвигали в битлз, что у него накопилось материала аж на тройной альбом. И этот альбом, вышедший в ноябре, в итоге покорил критиков, отлично продался и долгое время находился на вершине мировых чартов. Большинство сейчас сходится во мнении, что именно Харрисон выиграл эту гонку, по крайней мере в том году. На альбоме мы слышим того самого Джорджа с его фирменной мелодикой, но более взрослого - никаких ситар и психоделических экспериментов, больше фолка (кавер на Дилана здесь не случайно). Хотя главной песней тут конечно стала My Sweet Lord - не столько религиозная, сколько жизнеутверждающая вещь. I Live For You для меня тоже один из хайлайтов, приятно что не у меня одного. Но и помимо них в альбоме достаточно хорошего материала, от которого не устаешь даже к концу записи. 5 харе кришна из 5

Боже, это заняло целый день. Раньше думала, что знаю всего одну песню Джорджа Харрисона, но оказалось, что знаю еще три. Понравилось, но зачем так много сайдов…. Наркотики и секты творили безумства с восприятием времени у мужчин в 60-70ые. Еще в ремастере песни повторяются в разных версиях. Скип…. Песня I live for you приятное открытие. Хотя не вижу ее в оригинальном издании 1970 года. Добавила в сердечко на спотике. А так интересный экспириенс. 5/5

Лучшая песня: I live for you Худшая: не помню После прочтения отзывов со страхом включал альбом, в итоге он абсолютно легко слушается. Мне понравилось

nice one

Man. My dad had this album on vinyl. I own it now. I never remember hearing it though. I was surprised at how many tracks I knew and how good the ones I didn’t know actually were. I almost dropped a star for the length of the album, but I can’t do it. It’s definitely a five star album.

The production on this is insane (very ELO) and releasing all your songs you wrote while being denied album space on Beatles albums on one massive solo album is the ultimate 2 fingers. Great for car rides and sunny days. I’m counting the Apple Jams as bonus tracks but 11 minute blues jams that don’t make me wanna claw my eyes out are a welcome surprise.

Such an incredible album, can't believe I hadn't listened to the whole thing earlier.

On a relisten I’ve decided that George Harrison is the best Beatle, and he remains underrated.

I! Love! The! Beatles!

This deserves a 10

Excellent album

omg I lovvve George Harrison. The lyrics on this album are so great at articulating what being in love with someone feels like. His voice is so soothing and full of emotion. The guitar is just actually perfect. There isn’t one thing I don’t love about this album. I honestly like it more than a good amount of Beatles projects. Fav songs: I’d have you anytime, my sweet lord, isn’t it a pity, I live for you, art of dying

This is why George is my favorite

Helt klart det beste som kom ut i etterkant av The Beatles! Den har en del filler og er alt for lang, men den har 45 min med rent gull her. 9/10 tidløs klassiker 10/10 om man lager en samleplate med de beste låtene, slik som denne: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/472PddeaKYZbGbbiAgbvKj?si=9Ggm1ff0RZ-oNtQIU2n2HQ&pi=rF9iME6cRVeTz

Fantastisk skive!

En av tidenes sterkeste A-sider, med slike høyder er det lov med litt daler. 9/10

Helt utrolig å tenke på at Paul/John takka nei til det her. Noen så tidlig som 66! Greit, plate 1 e mye bedre enn plate 2, men ikke nok til å vippes ned fra full pott. Trur faktisk æ syns My Sweet Lord, platas «store hit», e platas kjipeste låt🤷‍♂️ Pappa pleide å spille Isn’t It A Pity på gitar. Topp 3 - Isn’t It A Pity - Run Of The Mill - Wah-Wah

If you had asked me to take a look at all the solo works from former Beatles and elect one as the official 14th album (or 18th depending on how you count them) to be elevated based on content close to the heart of what the Beatles created together, then this would be my submission. It seems created to decrease my heart rate and transport me to a calmer place. Thank you George, you are much missed.

This album makes me want to pray, and I’m agnostic. If that ain’t high regard, I don’t know what is.

He opens by asking if he can stay awhile inviting the listeners to hear his thoughts. What follows is a meditation from someone observing himself, trying to put feelings out into the world. The energy shifts effortlessly between tender and soaring, intimate and anthemic. It moves like a real emotional journey does quiet then bursting. And beneath it all? Yearning. Beautiful, welcome, universal yearning. The word that has always defined this album is Capolavoro.

Yup. Good luck Joseph Quinn

Going into this I felt both daunted by the length of the album and also like there was a lot of pressure for this to be good (due to a certain someone's appraisal for George Harrison). I thought there was going to be an inevitable let down but I was wrong because I loved this, much to my own surprise. Because there were so many songs, I am still to pick out which of them were my favourites but overall there wasn't an uninteresting moment from start to end - I will definitely be revisiting this one.

I don't even know where to begin with this album. This was my top album in my 2025 Spotify wrapped and may be my favourite album of all time. I think it is undeniable that the best track from this album is 'My Sweet Lord' which was inspired by his devotion to Hinduism and Krishna specifically - and definitely worth the £587,000 fine he had to pay for the copyright of the Chiffons 'he's so fine'. I dont even know how to put into words what this album means to me but as a whole it is one of those albums that will stay with me for my entire life. I can admit there are some tracks I don't enjoy as much like 'It's Johnny's Birthday', but that doesn't matter. As George's biggest album following the Beatles' split I think this album serves justice to the many years he was overshadowed and pushed aside by Mccartney-Lennon. It provides insight to his faith and spirituality in a way that is accessible to all, whilst still broadcasting his outstanding guitar skills and fitting 60-70s musical ideals. It is too long for me to give my personal opinion on each song, but I will say I can completely acknowledge and understand why people won't like this album as much. I think the reason I adore it is partially due to the fact that I have a deep rooted 12ish year old love for George Harrison and this album holds more sentimental value to me than skilful and technical. There are definitely better albums in a musical manner but to me, its very special.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Front to back a great LP!

90

Best post Beatles album for me. Full stop. I dont care how long it is. Its stacked with beautiful, heartfelt and gentle tracks. Maybe im the fool for enjoying such things...if so, then I'll stay foolish.

I love George and I didn't realize some of these songs were him singing them.

Yeah this guy would fit pretty well on a band like The Beatles This one was so damn good, really wasn’t looking forward to it when I saw most of the music was folk rock but every song was a treat. My sweet lord is a great standout, but that was far from the only good song. You’d get a song that sounded just like a rejected Beatles track (from what Emily told me tons of these are exactly that), and then a bluesier song, then a fun instrumental. Even though the album was 2 damn hours I don’t think I got tired of it. Funnily enough the bonus tracks that third disc (Apple Jam) were actually my favorite part of the album. I love that 12 bars blues structure and the energy coming off Thanks for the Pepperoni and I Remember Jeep. This album really made me appreciate George as a guitarist (I really didn’t know any of his solo stuff before this). There were just a couple songs I wasn’t crazy about, but when you have 28 tracks in the album that’s not the end of the world. Thank you 1001 for making me listen to this one; we’ll see you again someday George.

This is such a neat one. I think this is the first time we've listened to a Triple(!) album where I've genuinely enjoyed the sound and songs for the full duration. You got straight bangers. My Sweet Lord, Wah-Wah, Art of Dying, Isn't it a Pity, All Things Must Pass: there are a lot of great songs on here and you can tell that George has improved a lot since his start in the Beatles. Composition-wide, they're full. Layered choruses, lots of instruments. There's fun flourishes like how Isn't it a Pity uses the chorus from Hey Jude in a minor key. Lyrically, George has always been on the more simplistic side. But here I think it works because then his words become more impactful. I still think the seamless lyric change in My sweet Lord from Hallelujah to Hare Krishna is genius. Such a simple way to convey everything he wanted to. I like the ordering of the tracks, how theyre spaced out. Slow songs are followed by fast and vice versa. You get weirdo tracks like Happy Birthday Johnny almost like a palette cleanser. Just a well made album

If you wonder if Harrison is a guitar great, listen to “Out of blue” on here.

A 5 star first listen! Questioning why I grew up in a Beatles only house when George was putting out straight bangers! Instrumentally this was so good that just the backing track of What Is Life was one of my favourite songs

In a way, it’s a good thing that John and Paul were such Beatles tyrants who refused George songs on the albums because it meant that he could put his efforts into this absolute masterpiece. It’s not John’s, or Paul’s, or even Beatle George’s. It’s George Harrison’s, doing what he wants and does best and no solo Beatle ever managed to do anything quite so complete ever again. Sure, it’s long and there’s a whole LP worth of jamming and he may have stolen the melody of My Sweet Lord but holy hell, when it’s good, it’s GOOD.

I love this. Nuanced and enjoyable, this is going to enter my regular rotation.

Discazo

I already recently fully got into this record, so listening to this was a breeze. Incredibly captivating from start to finish, which is saying a lot, considering this is nearly two hours of music. Beautiful melodies, often excellent production, will surely be revisited many times in the future.

When I listen to George Harrison, something in me aligns. Emotion without being performative, groove, haze, and honesty. This feels like an emotional root of everything I love about music... also, tambourines

George Harrison is a Musician Who was a Part of the Greatest BAND of ALL TIME “THE BEATLES “ His Music Is still great 🙏🏻👍🏻

Fucking adore George Harrison and this album. So glad this challenge got me round to checking it out. My Sweet Lord has been one of my favourite songs for who knows how long so that's my pick for song of the album. What Is Life and If Not For You were other highlights of the album with Let It Down being my favourite first listen. Actually just a flawless album

Definitely enough great songs to warrant 5 stars.

I can't claim to have listened to all of them, but I've listened to many, and this is by far my favorite solo Beatles album. I also have to amend my prior statement that London Calling and Exile on Main Street are the only double albums worthy of that length. This one is too, TRIPLE album and all. There's so much going on here it's almost hard to discuss. It's got straight up rock, sad melancholy rock and folk, downright joyous pop music ("What Is Life"), and a few songs that make me wish I was religious. The record starts out so incredibly strong that you can lose track of the number of brilliant songs in the back half like the title track, "Beware of Darkness", "Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)", and "Art of Dying". It's crazy how few (relatively speaking) songs in the Beatles' catalog were his. Damn genius, this man, somehow overshadowed by two other genuises. And another all-time great cover.

Having recently watched Peter Jackson’s Get Back documentary, it was crazy to see George Harrison play songs like All Things Must Pass and McCartney to essentially shrug and offer no reaction. It’s amazing insight into how he and likely Lennon viewed his songwriting and his place in the Beatles pecking order. What it did mean was that, after their breakup, Harrison clearly had the richest volume of unreleased songs to pull from. Coupled with Phil Spector’s brick walled production, the album sounds as immense as its runtime. While McCartney’s Ram might be my favourite Beatles solo record, I think empirically this is clearly the best that any member put out on their own.

Enjoyed it throughly, need to listen again.

Otro clásico. La ventaja de estar a la sombra de Lennon&McCartney es que cuando se separa la banda tienes material guardado para publicar semejante álbum. Al margen del injusto plagio, no es tal y menos con los oídos de hoy en día, My sweet lord es un temazo. Isn´t it a pity otra joya. Wah-Wah podría ser un tema de cualquier banda de los 90 o del 2000. What is life te alegra cualquier día. Awaiting on you all es una perfecta fusión entre Spector y Harrison. Let it down, es que es difícil destacar alguna sobre otra... ufff

Tone!!!!

George is the fucking man. Thats it. This album has been a huge inspiration for my guitar playing journey.

Genuinely one of the best albums associated with any of the Beatles. It is a bit lengthy but worth every minute. The album is filled with so much passion and beauty. George Harrison proves continuously how he is one of the most talented musicians and perhaps the most talented of The Beatles.

This was really good, I had never heard this before besides My Sweet Lord. Hear Me Lord, and the Out of the Blue jam session at the were really good. I think this is a 5 star album for me.

Before this project, this album was a 5/5 for me. Gonna be a good Friday! Trying to figure out for myself why it’s a 5. Nostalgia plays a big part obviously. But the actual music is fantastic! If this was a first listen, I’d focus on the range of songs, how dynamic the album is as a whole, and the variety of sections. It’s a rock album that’s also a folk album, a pop album that has fantastic deep cuts, and firmly plants an identity in the ground that you can see and engage with. Also the album art is awesome - possibly favorite cover OAT.

Not a bad song on here - yeah yeah there’s an 11 minute instrumental jam and the album’s two hours long and there’s two versions of several songs - whatever, I don’t care, I loved it.

phenomenal bleed out album

very good, folky i liked it. pretty long but sounded how i expected. some weird tracks like i remember jeep. my fav is prob if not for you. sort of bob dylanesque-a complete unknown

Ja så ok har liksom alltid likt dette eller de store hitsene og sånt for det meste men aldri skikkelig hørt det for har en tendens til å fallr litt av under sånne kjempelange album men dette var virkelig ikke sånn sanglengdene var veldig passe og ble veldig lite lei ila albumet og det bare wow ja er så grusomt consistent album og de fire jamsene på slutten er så vibe og er så lyst og varmt album er virkelig nydelig 5/5

me sigo preguntando porque paul le dijo que esto era diarrea

Its okay

WAH WAHHHHHHHHHH! WAH WAHHHHHHHHHH!

i often find that when i see an album is this long, i have to encourage myself to listen to it. but this was such an experience that i finished the record (which with all the added tracks was over 2 hours) and barely realised any time had passed. this is the sort of music i love hearing from the 70s because it feels so pure and grounded in a way you don't often get anymore. george is a fabulous musician (as we all know) and this record is no exception! what a beautiful listening experience

klasik

Slide guitar pop. Much better than I expected. Double album proved long though

✨✨✨✨✨ one million out of five, a lot of this hit hard today 💔😌

A rare 5 stars, this one def deserves the title. A huge triple album, the whole thing really vibes all the way through, almost no skips. The best post Beatles album by far, I’m glad I’m doing this challenge to actually listen to the music like this to give it a shot.

Great song writer

The best Beatle.

Single best thing I think made by a beatle. I love this. Beautiful heartfelt songs, great rough but sweet vocals, exceptionally tasteful guitar playing. Has a feeling of youth and romance and summer of love innocence, but while aware that the world can be dark and hard. He knows all things pass, good and bad, but celebrates life so beautifully. Extended jam quality of the playing is lush and orchestral and beautifully remastered.

Easily the best of the Beatles solo albums. The only caveat to this 5 stars is you have to stop at the Apple jams.

Absolutely phenomenal

banger 1000/10 omg was eine coincidence auch dass ich die letzten tage genau das album rauf und runter höre

Love george

Greta album, despite being long. Don’t like the Beatles, but the diverse style GH has is really impressive. Plenty of highlights

The album starts off with id have you anytime which is a blissful way to start. Full of tender lyrics and playing and George's tuneful yet quiet vocals. My sweet lord follows which is a bit overplayed and overwrought but still a work of art. Wah wah addresses the end of the beatles and is both loud and melodic. Let it down follows later which is best heard in its original acoustic form. Moving and haunting it belongs on any late era beatles album. Then the lps best song, beware of darkness. It is a song which reaches into the soul, george never wrote anything as good as this ever again. What a legacy this album is.

Well it’s just sublime isn’t it, one of the best albums of all time and maybe even better than any Beatles album

Not usually into these really long drawn out albums. But this was great. Very solid. I've always loved a lot of these tracks so hearing the whole thing.

I love George Harrison. Album 9/10

This is genuinely one of my favorite albums of all time, so I almost feel it was fate for it to be my first of the 1001 albums. I love the sound on this album and listening to my sweet lord and I’d have you anytime brings me to tears. This is the first time I’ve listened to the album in full, so I got to hear the different takes and versions of some of the songs. Overall, I love Harrison’s pleading voice and beautiful guitar. My favorite song is (still) I’d have you anytime. My least favorite is Apple Scruffs while I still appreciate it as a part of this important album the harmonica irritates me and doesn’t match the rest of the album.

Hare hare

I’ve been a beatle fan my whole life, but George Harrison’s nasal accent and complex melodies didn’t taste as sweet to my young ears as Lennon and McCartney. Adding slide guitar and Phil Spector didn’t help things. I came to love this album later in life, even the self indulgent third album of Apple jams. It’s a near perfect double album and a bittersweet time capsule.

This album sounds like George was just writing songs for his fave artists and then performing them.

A magnificent album from objectively the least likeable beatle. Beautiful.

First time listening all the way through. This album is so good. It's very outgoing and fun with some little bits of sadness sprinkled in. I was surprised how much it sounded like a Beatles album if you took paul and John off (duh). You'd think George would take it in a different direction but he didn't, he almost tripled down on what he did so well with the Beatles. Beautiful album.

Not my first listen Amazing as always My fav beatle

One of the strongest double albums of all time. Simply phenomenal. 9/10

Yeah, everything I've hear about it holds up. One of the best albums of all time for sure. Just stunning. The tone of it is just so beautiful and relaxing. You can tell George wanted to make this for a while. So much creativity and artistry

Top 10 album for me. George Harrison is the GOAT

I've actually heard a lot of these songs before even though I've never listened to the album all the way through.

Want to own this.

Love it. Own it.

I already knew a few songs from this album, My Sweet Lord, Isn’t It a Pity, What Is Life, If Not for You, Run of the Mill, I Live for You, and All Things Must Pass. All in all, the quality of the album is incredibly high. There are too many great tracks to list individually. I don’t think I’ll ever sit through all three records in one go again, but I’ll definitely be returning to it often. I generally don’t enjoy double or triple albums when they require a few hours straight of listening. However this is arguably the best solo record any of the Beatles ever released and I found it incredibly interesting. People say George Harrison was the best songwriter in the Beatles. The funny thing is, the only Beatles song I really knew he wrote was Here Comes the Sun. This album was quite a journey. The guitar work is phenomenal, a real showcase of what Harrison brings to the table. I have no idea why the Spotify version randomly has bonus tracks placed in the middle, but aside from that odd choice, it was a fantastic listen. I’m genuinely glad this album was recommended to me here. I knew it was good, but I didn’t know it was this insanely good. I didn’t expect the rock ’n’ roll tracks near the end either that was a great surprise. I honestly feel every song is strong, and I can see myself still enjoying this 40 years from now. I now realise how unique his style is compared to The Beatles. I wouldn’t say this album has the huge “banger” hits in the way The Beatles often do, but the difference is I can listen to this front to back without finding many weak songs. With The Beatles, they have massive hits, but I don’t often want to go through the albums in full. Harrison’s work here fits my taste and mood much more consistently. This album impressed me a lot. I like most of the songs in the album mainly: I'd Have You Anytime, My Sweet Lord, Wah-Wah, Isn't It A Pity, What Is Life, If Not For You, Behind That Locked Door, Let It Down, Run Of The Mill, I Live For You, Beware Of Darkness, Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll), Awaiting On You All, All Things Must Pass, Art Of Dying, Hear Me Lord, Plug Me In, I Remember Jeep, Thanks For The Pepperoni, Out Of The Blue.

I usually rail against double albums as being bloated and that they would be better with some editing. And it's always true. Until you come across that exception that proves the rule. This isn't even a double album, it's a triple album! Of which I listened to the entire 50th anniversary version, which is over 4 hours long. And I would listen to more if given the opportunity. Honestly, the review should be focused just on the actual double album, the Apple Jam, and the other items on the 50th anniversary are only for those who love it and already know what they're getting going forward. But as someone who loves it and will gladly listen to all of it, including the different takes and experimentation, give me all.

I throughly enjoyed this album by George Harrison! I believe this was his first album that came out after The Beatles broke up and I feel like he was successful in creating his own unique sound and style apart from them. This is a brilliant folk/classic rock album from Harrison and I will definitely be listening to this album again in the future. I did think it was a bit long and some of the songs were repetitive and droned on for too long but overall this was a great album listen!

The best solo Beatles album????

I am a huge Beatles fan, this is widely viewed as the best single post Beatles album, and I had never actually listened to it from start to finish. The song I knew for sure was on it going in was My Sweet Lord, which is a song I have always really liked. But then, I got to What is Life and realized I knew this song, and I absolutely love it. Then, there is really no bad song on the album (until you get to the end of the 2nd side).

Rating: 9/10 Actually peak, thank you Mr. Harrison. Is this lowkey the best solo Beatles material? The first disc is literally a perfect collection of songs I think, and from there it just keeps going on and on and on and I'm just jamming the whole time. Great stuff

Es un clásico,que más se puede decir de este disco. Lo escuché un millón de veces, es lindísimo, melancólico a morir, tiene buenos riffazos, las letras están bien pensadas y algunas son medio agarradas de los pelos (onda Whah Whah que es una excusa para mostrar que se compró un Whah Whah nuevo). No lo escuchen cuando está nublado o llueve porque pinta bajón y corchazo, después es ideal para el que nunca escuchó un disco de George o ya se cansó de escuchar The Beatles. P.D: si te gustó este disco y quedaste manija, mírate el Concert For Bangladesh y te va a volar la peluca (Está Bob Dylan)

It's magnificent, the only album on par with Abbey Road from any of the artists formerly known as the Beatles. I would be listing at least half these tracks as standouts, but What is Life is a personal favourite. It's so so good. 5 Stars.

As good as any Beatles album. Kept listening to this on loop all weekend, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Turns out George is my beatle. Didn't know I loved this, always thought I had a distaste for the Beatles, I think it was just a distaste for Paul

Always have and will love this album.

Great solo evolution from Beatles sound.

I adore this album. It’s a fine showcase of what George was capable of. Apple Jam is bit mad but you can appreciate All Things Must Pass without listening to sides 5 and 6. This just feels good and sounds fantastic.

Fantastic album. Arguably one of the best lost-Beatles releases. I still hear “what is life” regularly in the bars.

Amazing album. His songwriting backed by that tremendous wall of sound… I don’t think there’s anything quite like it.

All lovely songs

it was pretty good

So effing good. This album has something for everyone. Acoustic, electric, psychedelic rock, love songs, groovy bluesy jams, profound lyrics ,made up lyrics, or no lyrics at all. Late addition: jazz with lasers? This was a looong album with no filler. All things may pass but what never will is George's musical validity and influence. This album being exhibit B. After The Beatles. He just did what he had to do. 5 outta 5

Proving that George Harrison was every bit as good if not better than Paul and John.

This album is incredible. I was a little afraid to listen to this one as it is a double album and I wasn’t sure it was going to be great. But my fears were totally unwarranted. Many great songs and a great sound overall. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Legendary

Great album from a talented beatle

This is genuinely one of the best albums i have ever listened to it is at least top 3 within the current list of albums so far, it is 2 hours long and is straight heat/bangers with variety and evolution throughout, Masterpiece.

5 or 6 incredible songs and the rest is so so. A double album, it means a lot of songs I was very nonchalant about. 4.5 up to 5.

If the album was shortened down to its best 12-15 songs it would be a masterpiece, having said that it's still amazing, songwriting is excellent, the jam tracks at the end are enjoyable. Hard not to give this a 5.

All the songs that George couldn't get on Beatles records.

Genial! Difícil falar algo além disso. Moondrop May.

Clsssic

We love George ❤️

good times. rollickin rhythms with the pluckiest guitar in the united states of yamerica . rolling a caramel candy around your mouth till it dissolves on the innermost part of the tongue. gooood times!!!

Stately. Majestic in parts. Every song has something to say. John and Paul should not have been rejecting these beauties. Nevermind, George got his moment in the light. A magnificent album.

I'd have you any time is so dreamy on George's terms, pretty sad he didn't get the spotlight more in the Beedles

Great album. Discs 1&2 contain 18 hits and 0 misses. Disc 3 is still enjoyable but should be viewed as a bonus rather than as part of the album

On par with the best Beatles albums

Another flawless album. 5/ 5

One of the greatest albums ever made. Is it too long? Yes. Would I remove the jams? Probably. But until the final 5 tracks, this is all killer no filler. One of the most underused talents of his era finally getting to show the world what he could do, and it’s astonishingly good. I’m not sure if I like it as much as Plastic Ono Band, but there are a handful of the most gorgeous rock songs ever written.

Vad det låter Beatles... Ibland! Och sen inte alla - mer blues, mer attack. Jammen är fantastiska. Vilka musiker. Klockren 5a

Easily the best Beatles solo album out of all of them. George finally got the airplay that he deserved. It's a shame The Beatles had to break up in order for that to happen. Not a bad song on here. The only fly in the ointment is the last two sides but I still give it five stars.

Still a truly good album. Possibly the best post-Beatles album.

really, really good 5/5

The first half of the two hours is fantastic. "My Sweet Lord," "Wah-Wah," and "Let It Down" are absolute standouts. The album cover is iconic, and the vocals are strong, even if George Harrison never quite matched John Lennon or Paul McCartney in that department. The second half still holds up, but trimming the runtime to around an hour or so would have made it a flawless record. As it stands, it’s a brilliant, slightly overstuffed masterpiece. 9.5/10.

Probablemente el mas largo que nos haya salido, pero aun así de los mejores y de lo mejor que escuche de los individuales de los Beatles. Le estoy agarrando cariño a George, tendré que escuchar más de él. Favs: las primeras 6 canciones y Ballad of Sir Frankie

Banger, after banger, after banger como diría Sheamus. All Things Must Pas y Beware of Darkness son dos canciones muy importantes en mi vida y My Sweet Lord es una canción muy importante en general para el mundo. Recuerdo perfectamente escuchar este album yendo en bicicleta en 2020-2021, absoluto pico. Disculpen que me ponga tan personal con esta review, es que, de los que nos han puesto, este y el de Nick Cave son los que más escucho yo por mi cuenta y no los puedo separar de mi experiencia de escucha. Otras favs: Wah-Wah, Isn't It a Pity, If Not For You, Behind that Locked Door, Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp, Hear me Lord

Ahora sé cómo se siente Alex, DEMASIADOS ÁLBUMES ACUMULADOS AYUDA. Bueno, de este hay poco que decir que no se haya dicho ya. Preciosa epifanía de principio a fin. Himnos universales que compensan densidad y belleza a la perfección. Muy humanos y muy íntimos. Bien George ahí. Favs: I'd Have You Anytime, My Sweet Lord, What is Life, If Not For You, Run of the Mill, Hear Me Lord

Hands down het beste Beatle solo album. George Harrison besprenkelde de discografie van de band altijd al heel efficiënt met magie. Mondjesmaat, en het smaakte eigenlijk altijd naar meer (behalve bij Here Comes the Sun, want dat is een overrated sack of shit). Dit album vervult die wens en stilt die honger op voortreffelijke wijze. De songwriting, de melodieën, de beste productie uit de carrière van die enge Phil Spector, en de persoonlijkheid die doorschijnt. Het zou eigenlijk gewoon de perfecte wrap-up zijn van de gehele Beatles discografie, ook al kwam hierna nog wel hier en daar iets moois uit. Pareltje dit, die laat horen dat George Harrison misschien wel de meest talentvolle muzikant van het kwartet was. In ieder geval het meest soulful. 9,5/10 Highlights: Isn't It a Pity What Is Life Let It Down I Live for You Beware of Darkness

Ergens in November had ik ATMP al eens opgezet voor een Australian roadtrip. Hij sloeg niet helemaal aan en ik heb hem bewust laten liggen. Dat was niet de goede manier om albums te raten. Terug in Nederland op een grijze maandagmorgen en ik doe nog een poging. Deze is wel raak. Wat een prachtplaat is All Things Must Pass. De eerste paar nummers zijn edgy door de verwijzingen naar de Beatles en het feit dat een aantal nummers al uit deze tijd stammen. Met Isn It A Pity en het Hey Jude refreintje voorop natuurlijk. Een dikke middelvinger? Ik vind het mooi om te horen met deze plaat wat de bijdrage van George was aan alle Beatles albums. Dat wordt vaak wat minder benadrukt dan de bijdragen van Paul en John, maar die van George was ook aanzienlijk. Heel bepalend geweest voor het geluid van de fab four. Genoten van All Things Must Pass, gaat vaker aan en moet zeker als vinyl in de kast! 9/10 Highlights Wah-Wah Isn It a Pity

This is a perfect album from track one till end. Harrison had so many great songs that he put them together all at once. Thanks George, we still miss you

The world is a better place because of this album.

This is the best post-Beatles project, and it stands up incredibly well today. It sounds like so much of the contemporary indie music I love. Even the twang on I Live for You. This one belongs in the Saturday morning rotation.

Highlight songs: I'd Have You Anytime My Sweet Lord Wah-Wah Isn't It a Pity (Version 1) What Is Life If Not for You Behind That Locked Door Let It Down Run of the Mill Beware of Darkness Apple Scruffs Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll) Awaiting on You All All Things Must Pass I Dig Love

Great classic rock vibes. Mix of mellow folk.

Great album from an amazing musician.

Out of all the Beatles solo albums released in 1970, this one easily feels the most Beatles-esque, especially in the spirit of their late era work. That’s probably because much of this material had been stockpiled by George Harrison during his time in the band. Several of these songs were originally written or demoed while he was still in the Beatles. For example, “Isn’t It a Pity” was first demoed as early as 1966 and again in 1969. “All Things Must Pass” was rehearsed during the Let It Be sessions. Other tracks like “Let It Down,” “Hear Me Lord,” and “Art of Dying” also date back to his Beatles years. So if you’re someone who loves The Beatles but hasn’t yet explored all of their solo work, this is definitely a great starting point. It carries much of the same harmonic language, emotional depth, and introspective lyricism that defined their final years together.

Hands down my favorite post-Beatles album by one of the Fab Four. Incredible to hear what George was capable of once he get out from behind the Lennon/McCartney shadow

You know how it is

10/10 Obviously the whole point of this 1001 albums exercise is to discover new music and push my music taste into genres that I otherwise wouldn't listen to. Nevertheless, I have been looking forward to getting an album that I already know and love, particularly when there have been runs of sub-par albums. On day 61, it's finally happened, with George Harrison's masterpiece: 'All Things Must Pass'. This has been a favourite for quite a few years now, and the vinyl box set is the most treasured album in my record collection. I can see why this might be a divisive album on here, given the runtime, but to be honest I don't really consider it a triple album - I'll often just listen to the first two discs, and George himself considered Apple Jam a bonus inclusion. All in all, there's just something incredibly comforting to me about this record, a feeling perhaps best exemplified by the title track. I started writing out my favourite songs for this review but it ended up being virtually the whole album. Instead, I'll just say that I probably prefer the second LP to the first, despite the first having the more well known songs on it. 'I Love Dig' is the only song I could probably do without - I agree with the fairly common sentiment that 'I Live For You' would've been a better inclusion - but even then it's an enjoyable enough song, I don’t skip it and it does serve a purpose musically in breaking up the album. Reviewing this album for the 1001 albums project is also the first time in a long time that I've listened to Apple Jam, and I have to say it was a lot better than I remembered - the sax on 'Out of the Blue' is fantastic. Listens: Countless

First time listening to it all the way through, despite loving all the songs I already knew. I know the story behind My Sweet Lord is cringe but I cant help jamming to it.

I've never heard this record before, and I have really been missing out. I thoroughly enjoyed this collection. It stands in stark contrast to the McCartney solo/Wings and Lennon's solo albums that have been on this countdown for me so far, which by and large have been considerable disappointments. It's amazing how much praise (rightfully so) the Lennon/McCartney partnership gets for the songwriting, given how Harrison demonstrates here that he is better than either one of them as a solo writer. My Sweet Lord is a great, great song. I get why everyone praises Imagine by Lennon which does have a great message, but I would rather listen to My Sweet Lord. It's a touch repetitive, though that doesn't bother me. Really well constructed. But there is so much more on this set. The title track, Art of Dying, What Is Life, Let It Down, The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp, and Isn't It a Pity were my favorites, the last of which is a sweeping track with some excellent lead guitar work. Frankly, the playing from both Harrison and Clapton on this record is great. At 1:45, it is super long which could be a bad thing if the music wasn't great throughout, but it was. Just tons of great tracks throughout.

Canceled

When I was listening to this album, I asked myself "Can this album, while as long as is, be amazing?" I have to say, it was one of the most beautiful and spiritual albums I have ever listened to. George Harrison created one of the greatest albums at a time when the greatest band ever broke up. It is sort of healing to listen to it as it felt as though he had moved on from those times and went on to become a great solo artist. Harrison is always hailed as the "Quiet One" of the Fab Four. He was an incredibly talented musician but was sidelined because he was also in a band with John Lennon and Paul McCartney respectively. But not to disrespect there talents, but I feel that the few songs he did were prolific for the Beatles. While I know this has been said before, the only bad thing about this album is the "Apple Jam" record (the third disc). I just feel it wasn't necessary to have it. It's not horribly bad but it is pretty boring honestly and didn't really add anything to an already great album. But this album was the best thing that Harrison did to prove his amazing songwriting abilities after the Beatles. I just feel it was the album that proved that he could be something bigger than the Beatles or himself in someway. It was a way of saying he's moved on and doing his own thing now. Sometimes I still wish he was still here. But at least he was able to give us some of the greatest music ever written. Favorite Tracks: I'd Have You Anytime, My Sweet Lord, Wah-Wah, Isn't It a Pity, What Is Life, Behind That Locked Door, I Live for You, Beware of Darkness, Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll), All Things Must Pass, Art of Dying, Hear Me Lord Rating: 5/5

So many songs and so good too. Poor guy had to get over two hours of music out in a debut album he was so cooped up :)

look, the album's incredible. one of the best solo beatles albums. i adore it. let's not talk about it like there's 3 discs worth of gold here. it's an all-time double album with a whatever 3rd disc. but the greatness of the first two makes up for the mediocrity of the third one.

This is up there as best album we’ve had. The first disc is almost perfect. Second was such a cathartic listen throughout the afternoon

Where do a I start?! What an epic. You could begrudge the 2 hour runtime. But the man was only allowed 1-2 songs per Beatles album, so he was absolutely frothing with tooons. My Sweet Lord. Toon. Isn’t It A Pity. Toon What Is Life. Double toon. If Not For You. Toon. I Live For You. Toon. Balled of Sir Frankie Crisp. Toon. All Things Must Pass. Toon. To name but a few. So yeah toons. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Simpsons: oh yeah

The best solo album by a Beatle. One of the best albums ever. It's all George, but there's a fair amount of variety and every tune is thoughtful and gorgeous. 5/5

best revenge album of all time. like he smoked the rest of the Beatles it’s not even a contest

"All Things Must Pass" is the third studio album by English musician George Harrison and a triple album at that. It was Harrison's first solo work after the break-up of the Beatles and reflects his musical activities with Bob Dylan, the Band, Eric Clapton, Delaney & Bonnie and Friends and Billy Preston and marks his growth as an artist beyond McCartney/Lennon. Along with others, many of these artists appeared on the album. The album was co-produced by Harrison and Phil Spector who helped create his "wall of sound" and used extensive overdubbing and mixing. The album was a massive commercial success reaching #1 in the US and UK and was critically lauded with some critics (then and now) saying it is the best of the former Beatle solo albums. The album opens with "I'd Have You Anytime," a song written with Bob Dylan about their friendship. Smooth acoustic and electric guitars. Gentle Harrison vocals. Clapton with a great guitar. There's a harpsichord and vibraphone. This whole album is a wet dream for those into musical bingo cards. Layered acoustic guitars start " My Sweet Lord." Harrison's echoing guitar and emotional, impassioned vocals. The song began as an exercise in his attempt at gospel writing. A kicking tambourine and not the last time you'll hear that. Harrison's heartfelt vocals highlight "It's a Pity." Its a song about the rough ending for his former band. Harrison give a us the first taste (on this album) of his slide guitar and orchestral arrangements are also added. Much more from both of those components here on out. Harrison's tremendous guitar riff kicks off "What is Life." Drums with the wonderful trumpet and sax helping to carry the melody. Impressive piano and guitar accents. Harrison spiritually questioning things. My favorite George song. Another gem is "Beware of the Darkness." A song that slowly comes in. Strings, slide guitar and piano. More compassionate singing. Piano, strings, horns and slide guitar are all featured in the self-titled "All Things Must Pass." Beatle-esque harmonies. Some say this was inspired by the Band. Well, a lovely song. Almost all the third record, named "Apple Jam" are rockin' instrumentals with Harrison, Clapton and Dave Mason taking turns on guitar lead and solos. Yes, this sounds like a dress rehearsal for Derek and the Dominoes "Layla." Does it belong on the album? I don't know but I liked it. Uplifting, spiritual and inspired are some of the words that come to mind listening to this album. Some say the Spector wall of sound cluttered or made these songs too busy. Yes, there can be a lot going on but musically everything works for me: Harrison and Clapton's guitar playing, the horns, the piano and keys, the strings, the rhythm section and, did I mention, the tambourine. The first sentence of the paragraph describes Harrison's tremendous vocals. You can hear in these songs the Beatles, the future direction of Harrison's music and Derek and the Dominoes' "Layla." Is it the best Beatle solo album? It's right there. Anyway, a true classic.

I sometimes feel like the Beatles are too well documented, in a way that makes them seem flatter, less human and more spectacle. But there is something beautiful about being able to follow the musical journey of someone from the age of 15 who then goes on to make music like *this*.

There is a lot going on in this album. A lot. George is able to let out all the songs, melodies and feelings that seem to have been building over a few years. With multiple listens in my lifetime, the thing I gathered most from this one was the tasteful use of the horns. Plenty of rockers, some folky tunes, some poppy tunes, some devotional tunes and one ballad makes for a fantastic collection of post-Beatle music. Probably the greatest Post-Beatle album to be released in 1970. No disrespect to Ringo.

3 LPs is a lot but it makes sense given the context. And wow for almost two hours it doesn’t feel it, even the jam part flows pretty easy. So many great songs!

I love Ram and Plastic Ono Band. Ringo, Imagine and Band on the Run are all great. But All Things Must Pass is just on another level of transcendent greatness. It's so fucking good. To think he had a lot of these songs in the bank and he was still limited to 2 or 3 songs by albums is just ludicrous. Another one of my 6/5 stars.

Full Disclosure: George is my favorite Beatle. I'm sure that affects my review a bit. There are some real classics here and it all seems so personal. I can feel the love that went into these tunes. I imagine him out tending to the lawn or clearing out old foliage then grabbing some tea and dipping into the studio to lay down some tracks then back out to trim the roses. I know that's not really how it happened but that's the image my heart conjured and I'm just gonna run with it. So many great influences here, Bob Dylan being my favorite. George is well aware of all the things that have passed by him and he's grabbed onto the things that resonated and pays tribute to them here.

I mean, this is the best thing any Beatle did post-breakup, right? I never get tired of this album. I don't know what else to say, I just love it. Standout Track(s): My Sweet Lord, Isn't it a Pity, What is Life, If Not For You, Behind That Locked Door, Beware of Darkness, Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll), Awaiting on You All, All Things Must Pass

wonderful work of art

Fantastiskt album, lite ojämnt med kvalité på låtarna imo, men en given 5:a.

One of my absolute favorite albums of all time!

I always thought the pacing of this album was atrocious, only to discover that the 2014 Mix release, arguably the most accessible release on streaming services currently, adds in various alternate takes of a few of these songs right in the middle of the LP. What this results in is a lot of repeat tracks that would be great on something like a Super Deluxe edition, but disrupts the flow of the album it’s on. Going by the Original Release’s track listing however, this is so remarkable well paced for a double LP that it doesn’t even feel like it’s over an hour long. Disc 1 is honestly as close to perfect as you're gonna get for an album of this type, with the first 6 songs being absolutely standout songs from Harrison's solo career, from My Sweet Lord to If Not For You they're all so iconic in their nature. Disc 2 on the other hand feels like the weaker of the two, with perfectly serviceable songs for sure, but the start of it doesn't really stand out as much as all of Disc 1 did. That changes however as soon as the title track begins, which is by far the most captivating track on the whole album. I originally heard this track on the Beatles’ Anthology 3, but the version here is by far the superior version. My favorite song on the whole record is tied between this one and What Is Life. Both songs are inherently introspective while also autobiographical in their nature, the former being far more about coming to terms with the idea that nothing really lasts forever, something naturally human while also referring to the Beatles themselves, while the latter is both upbeat while also dealing with the dilemma of understanding what life must really be about without "Your Love", with Love being a key theme the Beatles promoted heavily in their songs. To call this a landmark album is an understatement, as it's not only the album that properly marked Harrison as a standout solo artist following the Beatles’ breakup, but moments like the Apple Jam sessions, which are also included right after the main LP on the original release, would lead to the formation of Derek & the Dominoes, who would then go on to release Layla. It may not be my absolute favorite album of this era of rock history for me, but it's still a must listen in my books.

This album made me feel like a child again, took me back to the days of shuffling through my dad’s CD’s on the way to school. Very soothing sound. Some underrated classics and a great mix of different sounds.

In late 1994, I was living with my uncle in Lansing, Kansas and working at the Subway across from Fort Leavenworth. I drove my grandma's red 1977 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, which came equipped only with AM radio. The best listening option was an oldies station--710, I think. The format was popular music from 20 or more years ago. "What Is Life" was in heavy rotation. I would regularly open the store so it was me microwaving the meatballs, sneaking cookie dough, etc. with Mr. Harrison, The Association, The Beau Brummels, et al. on the radio. I had another job taking phone orders for Sony parts near the Kansas City Airport. I want to say this was sometime in 1996. Niki Sullivan, an original Cricket, worked there. They played Buddy Holly hold music. Anyway, I once talked to George Harrison's personal assistant. As I recall, he wanted portable tv equipment. I checked on the order later and he returned the items. I also began taking guitar lessons in 2020. One of the songs I picked was "My Sweet Lord." I did "learn" to play "My Sweet Lord." However, the trick to retaining said learning is to practice. Quite frankly, I don't have the dedication. But I do like the songs on All Things Must Pass. I may even love them. Plus, I have this strong connection to George. The album is like a warm 70s blanket on a cool day--definitely five stars.

A brilliant, beautiful songwriter. The jams are something I can take or leave but they're just bonus tracks.

det blir lätt det här

This was great and pleasant!

My first thought is that this was alot more instrumental than I was expecting. Loved, "What is Life" and found this album to be excellent. 9/10

took me a few days to get through it but what an album!!!

As i enter the last run I had worried a little that I didn't have as many classic albums left, but then comes this one. My Sweet Lord is incredible Let It Down is amazing, can't believe john and paul didnt like it. Incredible Its long, far too long, but everything is superb, I do wish I could listen to it on 3 cds because the track listing on Spotify is a bit inconsistent, but everything is great

My God. This is right up my alley. It’s long, it’s splashy, but it’s also damn fucking good. By my money, there’s a strange mystical beauty to the production, even though a lot of people don’t seem to care for it. Incredible songwriting and musicianship, and unbelievably ahead of its time. Mr. Harrison, you are quite the solo artist.

I’ve always been a Rolling Stones guy, but I appreciate what the Beatles did for modern rock music and recognize they are the best band ever. They are the band that paved the way for all subsequent bands. Near the end of their run, George Harrison had a breakthrough in songwriting and began writing great songs, though sometimes John Lennon and Paul McCartney couldn’t see it. The Beatles' loss was Harrison's gain as his solo debut triple album is a masterpiece. I’d heard several songs off All Things Must Pass, but never sat down and listened to it straight through. What an idiot I am. The album is a crusher, even the instrumental jams included as just filler were incredible. Of course, any music made with Derek and the Dominos and the Stones' horn section, plus other rock legends as your backing band, is going to be incredible. For my money, All Things Must Pass is the best solo work of the Beatles’ members. Lennon’s output was hit and miss and McCartney’s best solo work was with Wings. Ringo, generally the joke of the band, has done quite well for himself with his solo career, but can't touch the other members. Though he is still underrated as a drummer. If you’ve never listened to any of Harrison’s solo work, this album has it all: country music, solid old school 50’s rock, hymns, love songs and all-star rock jams with the likes of Eric Clapton. Speaking of Clapton, I’m guessing that during the recording of All Things Must Pass, Clapton was falling in love with Harrison’s wife and Clapton’s future wife, Pattie Boyd. That’s wild, isn't it? Clapton was so infatuated with Boyd, he even dated her sister. The whole episode could inspire a book, which Boyd wrote in 2008. She must have been an incredible muse. Anyway, beyond the gossip being incredible, All Things Must Pass is for sure one of the greatest albums ever, and you should do yourself a favor and bask in its glory.

Best solo Beatles album

Jesus Christ 2 hours. I'm going to treat this thing like the triple album it really is so I don't rate this poorly for being an insanely long album. My only experience with George Harrison as a solo artist is with Cloud Nine, which is worlds apart from this thing. I understand the history of this quite clearly. I also thing George Harrison was the most talented member of The Beatles, and it really shows in his solo work. It's really difficult to tell what song belongs to which "album" or which side, since there are a number of remasters and remakes which make it difficult, so I'm just going to go off Spotify's which contains 2 discs. What an incredibly strong start for the first half of this project. I don't think there was a single lull or skippable song here. What is Life sounded so familiar to me and I have no idea where I've heard it - but I knew the entire instrumental of the song from start to end. What is Life did top the singles chart in Australia on release so maybe I've heard it in passing, or it was on an ad for something. If Not For You is honestly the better of the two songs between Bob Dylan and George Harrison. I love Bob Dylan but this just has so much more nuance and soul to it than Bob Dylan provides on his version. Honestly the first side of this thing (I'd Have You Anytime to My Sweet Lord) was genuinely perfect. I'd give that 5 stars alone. Almost every song got saved to my liked playlist and various other playlists. The second half/disc of this thing is definitely not as standout-ish as the first, but maybe that's because I didn't recognise nearly any of the songs as opposed to the first half. I Dig Love was probably my favourite highlight. I can see why this was released as a triple album, I don't think the second half would have held its' own very well as a seperate release. In the context of this whole record though? I think it definitely adds some balance. I backtracked on my initial plan of listening to this in 2-3 sessions, I was so entranced with how good this was it made 2 hours feel like 40 minutes. Albums that manage to achieve that feeling are always rated so highly in my book. All Things Must Pass is pretty much a perfect album. There, I said it. Johnny's Birthday can fuck off, though - but it is a cool intro to Plug Me In so it's FINE.

The fact this is roughly 2 hours, flagrantly British while its creator is deeply steeped in Indian Exoticism and it was a total breeze to listen to from start to finish makes me fucking despise that Cornershop album being on this list tenfold

Slide Guitar, my favourite, nobody does it better Every song a banger, No notes

A phenomenal album that borders on masterpiece and woukd be if not for the length that only just overstays its welcome and leaves the album feeling a touch bloated and unwieldy. 9/10

A mammoth album. I was not able to listen to all of this in one sitting over the three days that I sat on this album. I was going to deduct points from this for being so long originally, but this album is too good. Not only is this full of genuine bangers but even the 'filler' here has no skips. It's easy to look at the length and be put off, but when you consider this as catharsis for all of the years that Harrison was sidelined as a writer by Lennon and McCartney you can't really blame the guy for pouring out all his ideas into one FANTASTIC album. Highlights: I'd Have You Anytime, My Sweet Lord, Wah-Wah, Isn't It a Pity, What Is Life, If Not For You, Beware of Darkness, All Things Must Pass

George Harrison. Duh.

Total sum of good music maybe the highest

I’ve listened to this before. 10/10 album

Beautiful

Always a classic.
