All Things Must Pass

Kule bangers, men mye æ kunne vært foruten. Highlights: What is Life og Wah-wah

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

Bare så sykt koselig. Hørt på tur bl.a.

Klarer ikke å gi denne mer enn en treer. Veldig masete (som Wah-Wah) og/eller flat produkson. Tamme tekster, men det hjelper å tolke alt i en Beatles-kontekst. Veldig ufokusert på slutten.

The songwriting is tight and the performance is amazing - add to that the wall of sound production blasts through, adding a color to the record that maintains even over 50 years later and you got the best solo ex-Beatles work

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 was my first proper listen to George Harrison’s solo work. At first, I couldn’t clearly tell whether I was hearing The Beatles or Harrison himself, especially in songs like “What Is Life,” which feel very close to that familiar sound. But other tracks move further away. Wah-Wah stands out for its thick production and strong wah guitar, and Art of Dying feels more intense and guitar-driven. Hear Me Lord and Out of the Blue has a bluesy, almost gospel-like atmosphere, and by that point the album feels more personal and less tied to The Beatles. It’s a long album, but the more I listened, the more Harrison’s own identity started to come through.

There are some really sweet chords on this! I'm kind of thankful that I never heard this album even though I was a pretty big Beatles fan. It felt like discovering an extra, secret album.

Jeff: Just okay, same old same old. Simran: Good enough to add 2 songs into her mega playlist

Started it just fine -- both the things I knew and the things I didn't. And then it just went on forever, giving itself time to become totally boring and then straight up irritating.

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.

It's a long and unorganized album, but it's a good work that keeps you from getting bored or tired while listening, as it contains songs with various directions.

Great stuff. A little too long or it would be 5 stars.

That was full of good vibes, loved it

Yup. Good luck Joseph Quinn

Levyllä oli muutama aiemmin kuulemani biisi. Ihan ok levy, mutta tuskin jää hirveästi pyörimään omaan soittimeen.

This album got progressively better and better as I was listening to it, and I loved so many songs. I felt like a lot of the songs on this album just made sense on the first listen whilst still being new and exciting, which is something very difficult to do. I've changed my mind. Its been 6 months and I still think about this album from time to time which no other album has done to me which makes it completely deserving of a 5. Ive relisted to a lot of the songs on here and I recognise them when they play when im out.

I really liked this. Despite its length, I felt engaged throughout which is pretty impressive. I liked the inclusion of different versions of some songs and found that on the second listen they became even better. A really good exploration of multiple genres of music and a well made album overall.

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.

Didn’t know what to expect but I really liked it!!

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.

This was a pleasant listen, George Harrison has a really nice voice which is nicely complimented by the guitar. I miss when music was this simple. I do think it lost it's way by the end however and that it could have been condensed down a bit.

I can see how he was a Beatle, but not in that he influenced the band, but rather the other way.

Sometimes the individuals who make up a supergroup don't hold up on their own as a solo artist. Yes he has a big hit on this album but the rest is forgettable.

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

90

I don't know if he was my favorite Beetle, but I always enjoyed a George Harrison song.

Good stuff

:l

Wat een heerlijk harmonieus en groot (3cd, 24 liedjes) album!

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.

A long album, but a beautiful sound and incredible effort overall. Wonderful vocals weaved throughout.

I hate the Beatles and all of the members. I will not be listening to this

Good, but too long

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

I just never know about this one. I know it's considered great. I know it's multi-platinum. But it's contradictory for me. I naturally consider this album to be songs that "weren't good enough for the Beatles." And it has a couple bangers, but I just expected more. This is the guy that gave the world "Here Comes The Sun," after all! I loved My Sweet Lord, even when I was a kid. Never thought it was stolen, unbelievable that he had to pay $800k in damages. Wha??? If Not For You, Isn't It A Pity, Wah Wah, I Dig Love, and What Is Life really strong. The others? Really meh. Probably closer to 3 1/2, not quite a 4...

This album was testing me before I even started listening to it. A 2 hour long album, are you actually for real? I’m glad Emily sent a shorter version of the album, but it’s still too long. I know I should be talking about my thoughts on the songs, but the length of this album is bugging me so much. There are some bangers on this album, but this album isn’t really for casual listening. The Beatles were definitely better together, you know why? Because their albums were less than an hour and were able to be listened to in one sitting. Is it bad? Yes. But not as bad as Rock Bottom, so I guess it can have a 2.

This was a tough one. Mostly because George Harrison is a certifiable songwriting genius, and it should have been a slam dunk 5 stars. Should have been. 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 mostly filler and maybe even overrated. 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. In the end, it really is an amazing album that blends folk rock with interesting instrumentals. But that run time is just ridiculous. Did I need to listen to this before I die? Yeah, but I will probably never hear the full thing again.

ope lost some notes. look i'm not gonna write liner notes for every track on a two hour album. i'll report back at the end. it's a two hour album... listening to the beatles hammers in how influential the beatles actually were. wish you were here clearly derives from harrison here in several ways. love his rendition of if not for you. but... it's a two hour album. was that really necessary, george? a lot of songs honestly just blended into background noise for me. 3.49/5, rounded to 3/5. good, influential, too long.

Decent tunes but bare long

"What is Life" is the best solo Beatle song and I'll write that in tofu strips on Paul's kitchen counter. The first half or so of this epic is so good. Definitely through the staggering "Beware of Darkness." After that, he loosens up and kinda loses me. I get that he had something to prove with this, and he proves it, but he could've used an editor.

Undoubtedly some very good songs here, and on the whole it’s much more successful than John Lennon’s dour “Imagine,” which we recently reviewed (I have not heard McCartney’s debut solo album). One gets the sense Harrison emerged from the implosion of The Beatles in relatively good shape mentally — or at least with the most to prove. It’s like a suitcase full of songs his two former bandmates had rejected, and it’s fun to imagine what some of them would’ve sounded like with the full band’s arrangement and backing, not that they don't sound good in George's hands. But it’s also a lot to digest for a debut, and it drags on far too long. Especially cruel is the introduction of these lengthy instrumental blues-rock jams on side 8 or whatever. They feel wholly disconnected from the rest of the album and were probably just the influence of George’s good pal Eric Clapton, who was secretly pining to fuck Harrison’s wife.

Started off strong lost the plot in the second disc which raises the question was the second disc even part of the original release? Judging by first disc tracks alone.

Had a few good songs on it butdid not need to be a double LP with an 11 minute jam as the last track.

Definitely the best solo Beatle album I've heard, but also definitely a bit too long

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

Idk that much about George Harrison as a solo artist (or as a beatle honestly) but this was generally enjoyable. I always get nervous in these that im gonna post a 3/5 pretty good! Review and then it’ll turn out to be the greatest album of all time or something but only one way to find out…

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

A by-product of having young parents is that I came to know The Beatles really late in life. That meant that, before there was “The Beatles”, there was George Harrison, and what more could a girl want? This album is unencumbered by the John-Paul-Ringo of it all and is just such a good time!! My Sweet Lord is an all-time great, one that lives deep in my heart, but even putting that aside there’s so much greatness here (I keep going back to What is Life, If Not for You, and the title track). Sure, 2 hours is an incredibly long run time, but as a Tortured Poets fiend, who am I to judge?

sometimes these albums are just too long and it starts to feel like homework. especially a lot of these older classic albums because there’s so many reissues and deluxe editions i have to make sure i’m not listening to a version with too much extra stuff, but the first one i clicked on for this was 70 songs long. Thankfully I’m just doing the 23-song version (still very long!). I was anxious at the start but very into what is life

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.

Some mid songs but all in all a great album. Some great songwriting and a nice mix of psychedelic and folk, 4 stars.

very chill folk, and good guitar

Mucho respect to George and the contributors to this album, but it's not going in my regular rotation. Too long, and juuust on the other side of what I'm looking for. 3/5

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

Smooth as fuck Beatles breakup album. You could make an argument that their dissolution created pathways for each facet of Lennon/McCartney to fully bloom. I'll put disc 1 on forever. Disc 2, however, must dock a star for going off the rails, and at one star that's generous. Blues jams! We never need the blues jams! The 70s saw the birth of bloat and it was and is a bad look.

For my last Beatles adjacent album (until i get to the user albums at least), All Things Must Pass certainly helped them go out with a fair bang. I wouldn't say it's amazing but probably the best Beatles adjacent album i have heard. This is probably some of the better psychedelic rock i have heard with it having enough weirdness and energy to it but also being very pleasant to the ears too. The one thing that is probably gonna put people off this album is the length as it does go on for an hour and 46 minutes and a lot of it does feel like filler but it wasn't ever too terrible. I definitely think this album could have benefitted from being shorter but all in all, pretty good album. Best Song: My Sweet Lord Worst Song: Wah-Wah

Discazo

George is one of my top Beatles and there are some really good songs in here. Beware of Darkness is so good. But why is it 2 hours long. Sometimes editing down is worth it.

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.

Sometimes I think my view on George Harrison and the Beatles is too harsh. To assign the band the idea that they're grandiose might be a bit much. Then Harrison makes a 2 hour album and I don't feel guilty anymore.

Some songs I liked, but the rest faded into the background of my adventure

Indeed… but good music remains.

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

Good solo album, means a lot to a lot of people

The guitars in this are so prominent and amazingly done throughout. I enjoyed all the melodies and different styles of music woven throughout the songs. The production quality was clean, and I thought it was quite an enjoyable listen.

Rating: 8/10 Short Review: Genuinely impressive that this managed to keep my attention through its gargantuan runtime. Some amazing stuff here, but also some stuff I don't really care for.

my favs are “beware of darkness”, “thanks for the pepperoni”, “let it down”, & “behind that locked door”. i really enjoy the electric guitars. rating 2.5/5

chill album, not usually my vibe but its cool. Too long for my liking though, way too many records on it. Can't realistically do a front to back listen in a sitting without feeling like I want it to be over quicker

Decent album. Not my usual style at all but easy to listen to from start to finish. 3.5/5

Cannot stop listening to Let It Down. George Harrison's signature guitar sound just makes you feel things. The way he brings those riffs to life just transports you to another dimension. I feel like with every chord, I am brought to a higher place.

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

It’s long, too long, and ‘something’ tells me it’s not as prolific as Beatles Harrison, but it’s still good, and can even be very good, w/o squinting that much to find the pleasure. I appreciate the near-nineties affect of the record, at times approaching a shoegazing fecundity, an acoustic grunginess, an optimism only that decade knew, tho it of course draws from the blues- and folk-rock of the sixties. I had to get used to its laidback quality, which nearly and sometimes did take away the oomph of the thing, but it's so much better than Clapton’s casual solo flows, and thus has my ear. Besides, we all do root for George, don’t we?

Love the guitar and the classic songs on the album

Baustelle, Gerstetten, Deutschland. Ganz gut.

Needs a bit of an edit maybe. George is my favourite boy and every now and then a random track on here will briefly become my favourite song.

Another album that's too long, and therefore couldn't be properly listened to, but there are some undeniably great songs here.

My sweet Lord a 2hr album! ‘All things must pass’ and eventually this album does because 2hrs is just unnecessary. For me an album should never really be surpassing 1hr by much. Overall, it was a pretty decent listen but just quite unforgettable only standout songs ‘Beware of darkness 1st version’, ‘Art of dying’ and of course ‘My sweet lord’. My sweet lord really is a fantastic song, and I expected this album to bring that same sort of calibre for a few more songs. I have noticed that with 1001 they will include an album which has 1 big hit on it rather than the whole album perhaps being worthy of actually being on this list. Giving a mid 3 star as there were a good few nice listens on here but in conclusion it’s just an average album for me. Maybe if it was shortend and better curated it could climb higher.

Definitely enough great songs to warrant 5 stars.

Наверное он великий, но для меня очень нудно

Overlooked, there is so much in here. A full and rich 2h joirney through this consistend mood harrison creates.

Really joyfull album

I listened to the “original” length recording ignoring tracks 10-14 on each disc. I think this is a very good album without ever blowing your socks off. It nicely mixes 60s / 70s pop, rock and strong blues influences in the way you would expect it to from a Beatle. Some great guitar in there that easily cuts through the backing music. I think I would have been daunted by the full length piece of the remastered edition but this was good, if still slightly too long. The recording sound is very ‘of its time’ but don’t mind too much as it’s the kind of quality / sound you expect. It’s not going to be a top favourite but could definitely happily listen to it more.

This is an odd one, as I’m confusing objectivity with my personal reaction. My objective side tells me it can’t be bad. I can hear the music is played well and I’ve no real issue with the vocals or the musicianship. The problem is the album ambles and flows in a way I simply can't connect with. I don't even hear the lyrics. Is it because I’m "right", that this is just an artist who was given a canvas and the money to get it mega-produced or is this a hidden talent I’m failing to appreciate? No idea.

There is almost too much to this album for me to feel like I am doing it justice with my review based on a single listen. The album opens with such a mesmerising slide guitar riff that feels like a leaf drifting on the breeze. I expect George Harrison had essentially full creative freedom by this point and this can sometimes manifest in an overworked and self indulgent offering. Not so with this album, although its long it feels much more like a coherent, accessible album whilst still remaining refreshingly expressive. It feels like Harrison is finally unfettered by compromise and can finally just make exactly what he wants to, making the album sound quite free and joyful. I think this might be excellent but I also don't feel like I've delved deep enough to fully form and opinion. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and mark it up for a re-listen.

Erg lang album, maar veel goede nummers

Great record, some songs immediately stuck out, others didn't really do it for me. For someone who isn't the biggest fan of the beatles, i think george's record might have given me a different entry point that might make the band grow on me

Classic.

Beatles ama kötüsü xdddd

cok boyle 70-80ler hippie vibe its cute makes me chuckle

Favorite songs: My Sweet Lord, Wah-Wah, What is Life?, Beware of Darkness, Awaiting on You All, All Things Must Pass

did not listen completely, but sounded good

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.

It was a cool album for a monday, good choice

ya

Goes on way too long and too much Hare Krishna but pretty ok tbh. Low 3

Some nice songs, but entirely too long and rather one-note.

really nice and i think i've long taken this album for granted! thank you george!

Hele goeie dingen wel lang zeg. Daardoor niet perse een album om in zn geheel op te zetten

Not a standout, but still decent.

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.

Tbh it was just alright. My sweet lord is an incredible song but the rest is a bit of a let down. It was just alright.

Musically, this is undeniably a good album, but the gall Harrison had to make this OVER TWO HOURS LONG is crazy, especially when the last three tracks are all instrumental with an average length of 8 minutes each, and several tracks are different versions of songs already on the record. All that prevents me from giving it a 5 out of self-respect.

Some of the George Harrison songs you love best will be found on this album. And also a lot of long instrumental jam sessions that you probably don't really care about. I've long maintained that almost all double albums would have been a lot stronger by removing weaker tracks and going to a single album. As far as I can tell, ALL triple albums need to be cut by two-thirds. If you've got some decent tracks that you can't fit on a single album, use them as a starting point for the next album. If you've got a whole disc full of jam sessions and doodling, save those for the 25th anniversary extended edition. Of course, back in 1970, they probably weren't thinking about those things yet. I'm being generous with stars because the great tracks truly ARE great. Just wish they weren't overbalanced by the "meh" tracks.

Some very good songs on here. I really enjoyed listening to them.

Average ex Beatle slop

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

This is a well written beautiful album Found the Hare Krishnas funny. Way too long he should have split this in to two albums

Great album. Some fillers but for the most part very consistently good.

A strong record. I didn’t enjoy all of it but it was undeniably inspired.

Classic. Legendary. Not new to me.

Tone!!!!

Likely the best solo project from a former Beatle. I saw the runtime of the album and thought it'd be a slog full of filler, but pretty much every track was great.

There was a point during this album when I started to think that maybe George was the best Beatle? As ever, though, a double album doesn't need to be as long as it is. 3.5*

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.

And this review must pass too. ★★★★

3.4 1x catch up 2/13 would like to listen again sometime

very long and not my genre i fear

not my type, but overall good

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.

It's affy long. Enjoyed what I had time for, but 2 hrs!?!

Best post Beatles album? I dunno, I'm not enough of a fan to make that determination. However.....

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.

How am I just learning about this album!? Sweet Lord is a gift.

What a slog! A well executed and melodic slog but a slog none the less. Ringo was a vastly better album. I tried to frame it in the context of the times but then saw it was released in 1970. That year gave us Sex Machine, Bitches Brew, Loaded, Fun House, Zeppelin II Paranoid for Lemmy's sake! In a year of such groundbreaking and emotional work I truly fail to see how this qualifies, being a Beatle isn't enough.

The most American sounding Beatle.

I love this album so much! Truly has some of the best songs of the 70s on here, and there is no doubt this is one of the most influential and important post-Beatles works. The signature slide guitar of George Harrison sounds so good here and the lyrics are beautiful. However, this is a very long album with a lot of material that I don’t think adds to it. Would go back to listen to 2/3 of these songs any time! Top songs: I’d Have You Any Time, My Sweet Lord, Wah-Wah, What is Life, Let It Down, Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp

Best thing any individual Beatles member ever did

A huge project that took a few days to get all the way through. A lot of great material here, ranging in styles. Most of it pretty great, just a lot to digest at once.

Sounds like a Beatles album, and a pretty good one. It's probably a bit long but it has that 1970s folk rock sound that's always pleasant to listen to.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison sounds like he got space from the Beatles, the album wander around a bit I’ve never listened to this before, researching a bit about the album, I realised it came out in 1970 (the year I was born), as a triple LP, and was No.1 in the UK for 8 weeks, so was massive. It was pretty progressive for 1970 so I appreciate the sound and creativity of it. Favourite track has to be My Sweet Lord, might predictable but it was is a great single, iconic song, I love it. I don’t love every track. I felt there was honesty and listened to a few of the tracks a couple of times after my initial listen. 3.5 out of 5 for me

Reminds me of being in high school

Too long to be a 5/5 for me but still incredible tracks on here like my sweet lord, Frankie Crisp and art of dying 4/5

Simple but beautiful songs.

"Wah-Wah" guitar solo When Harrison said "I love dig" I heard something entirely different... Okay, "Art of Dying" This was okay in my opinion. There were a few songs I gravitated towards, but I wasn't a fan of everything. I also didn't love the mixing on this album, as it was sometimes hard to hear Harrison, though I know that was probably on purpose.

Maybe I’m reading too much into to it, but I feel like you can hear the years of pent up frustration (4.5)

good, peaceful, happy

Great songs for falling asleep but seriously I was about to fall asleep into the deepest sleep ever .😌 I might use this album when I want to have a good nights sleep and no I didn’t finishh it😀

Went into this with an open mind, being a Beatles fan you usually have high expectations and end up getting let down. Almost 2 hours is usually a big ask and I don’t usually have the patience for albums that long. However I really enjoyed it. There are exceptional songs and others not so much but the whole package was welll balanced and even the long instrumentals which some don’t like I found really good as a background track to the day.

Trevligt men inte så spännande

phenomenal bleed out album

My goodness what a song writer. George was the real deal man. The arrangements on this album are dreamy. Thoroughly enjoyed every song, i can have this on repeat all day. This is an unheard album for me (aside from my sweet lord of course) and I’m so glad I came across it. Didn’t realize he wrote isn’t it a pity (Nina Simone covered this incredibly well). Solid 4.0 for me.

Album art hard as hell. This is a great album. I really love George songs in the general beatles-sphere and getting a full album of them is a little self indulgent maybe but very enjoyable. There's a couple songs on here that are too stretched out or just missing like one or two things that would make them perfect songs; the easy joke to make is songs that would be perfect if the rest of the crew were contributing. Isn't It a Pity would be my favorite song on here if it was 3 minutes shorter and broke away from that chord progression for even a moment. It's also the same chords as Interstate Love Song which is hilarious to me. My Sweet Lord is the obvious hit but it feels like it's missing something the whole time (drums). Still a Paul girl myself but this was a very pleasant morning with George.

All things must pass, except perhaps this triple album from everyone's second favourite Beatle, weighing in at 2 hours and 5 minutes on the remastered edition. Add George to the list of artists who apparently believe "more is more." At least any curiousity I might have had about Harrison's solo work has been thoroughly answered.

I don't know if it's a hot take to say that George had the best solo work of any former Beatle (even the much-derided Got My Mind Set On You is a sweet little pop song), but that's always been my opinion. This is his solo magnum opus, a fascinating reflection of post-Beatles life. The third album (aka the Apple Jam) seems superfluous, but standout tracks like My Sweet Lord, What Is Life, Let It Down, and Awaiting On You All make up for it. At over 2 hours long it needs an editor but it's still probably the best solo album from a ex-Fab Four guy.

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

Some all time hits and some B level songs that run a bit too long. Good album overall

3.5 stars. Enjoyable rock/folk rock. Runs a bit long but overall it's good. A little heavy on the steel guitar in "I Live For You". Nice harmonica on "Apple Scruffs". Some great hits including "My Sweet Lord" and standout "What Is Life".

Не интересно. Ничего запоминающегося.

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

I listened to the original release, except for the sequencing of the last section (commonly called Apple Jam). This is a triple album, the first ever triple album from a single artist. Also, this was the first album released by a former Beatle. I recall this record making a big splash when it came out, partly because it was from a former Beatle, but also because some of the tracks provided an insight into the dysfunction happening within the Beatles. There are some good songs here, but in my opinion the Apple Jam should have been a separate release.

So many Beatleses! I thought I liked George, but a triple album is making me rethink things. All things must pass, including listening to this entire album. I do not like to behold the album cover, although I do like George(?)'s hat. After this my Beatles solo album ranking is like, John > Paul > George, which in retrospect might just be a length ranking. Ah well. It was still fine. I do hope Ringo has one too. I bet it'd be a crisp 35 min. Highlight: 'Awaiting on You All'

Its okay

First couple discs are excellent, so much good outside of the tracks I knew (My Sweet Lord, What is life). Started to throw me after that, but maybe I was just getting exhausted from it

I got listening fatigue I can’t lie. The end of the album got very loud which wasn’t my taste, but there’s a few songs I really enjoyed. It’s a good album but just a little single faceted for me.

WAH WAHHHHHHHHHH! WAH WAHHHHHHHHHH!

I was a little worried this was going to be a struggle when I saw how long it is, but this is a solid album all the way through. Not many bad points, if any, and lots of highlights. Really shows Harrison's maturity past the Beatles, as he comes into his own. I'll definitely go back to this one. 4/5

3.5⭐️/5 01.09.2026

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

Very long album. Guitar playing way ahead of Lennon and the melodies were far more catchy. I could have lived without some of the long guitar solos.

Bland

some great songs, but not a strong overall album

Didn't know as much of his stuff but really liked this!

very relaxing

поки харашо але уе тіко перша пісня на 4 іде лорд...май лорд ме боже якщо б не повна пісня про Ісуса то я може шось і додала собі незнаю капец

I like this George but it too long

4,1 - Was für ein Mammut-Werk. Etwas Kürze wäre vielleicht besser gewesen, aber auch so unglaublich abwechslungsreich und trotzdem stilsicher. Highlights: My Sweet Lord, What Is Life?, Art of Dying

klasik

3/5

cute

country

George Harrison has absolutely shaped my love and passion for music into what it is today. I have been able to engage in eclectic sounds and embrace all genres that I stumble upon. All things must pass is a generational record, constantly played and cherished.

..

My Sweet Lord // What Is Life // Run of the Mill // All Things Must Pass // Art of Dying // Hear Me Lord // 4.5/5

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

Solid end to end by the forgotten beetle

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

No hate to George, just not a fan

Yes yes yes, this is what the Beatles should have been! Complex, intricate, soulful. Not the bee-ba-doo-bop shite that people insist is quality music. It's clear where the talent in the band was, and that it was stifled is only forgivable because it resulted in this album.

George

My Sweet Lord - the first track on the album that I recognised. It’s weird having already listened to this album growing up, without actually realising that I’ve listened to it before. What a privilege it is to be surrounded by music my entire life. Thank you, Dad. I love you.

Some gems, but inconsistent.

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.

This might possible might some of my favourite Beatles' related material. Shortly after The Beatles disbanded, every member decided to go on their own path and release their own solo material. In the case of George Harrison, he release the Goliath that this three part and one hour and 45 minutes album. The first two discs are very similar in themes and styles, being a mixture of folk/pop rock that ranges between very calm, smooth and even sad sounding pieces such as the angelic intro song "I'd Have You Anytime", "If Not for You", "Behind That Lock Door", "Run of the Mill", "Beware of Darkness" or the melancholic "All Things Must Pass"; and also more grandiose moments like "My Sweet Lord", " "Wah-Wah", "What is Life", "Let it Down", "Awaiting on You All" and "Art of Dying". I did prefer the songs in which the wall of sound is very prominent. The orchestration behind these songs are so big that they elevate the songs to the infinite. Regardless of how much I liked theses parts, the more serene parts are also very gorgeous and full of details. But what I think that shines the most about the record is how exquisite the sound quality is. I must say that I've been listening to the 2020's mix, so I don't know if the original sounds better or worse. Even so, this one sounds heavenly. Another aspect worth noticing are the lyrics, focusing primarily in themes such as death, the pass of time or even faith, and make the album feel more spiritual, introspective and profound. Unfortunately, this album has a very weak point, which is the third disc, also called "Apple Jam". It is basically a compilation of jams, and me not being a fan of Jam Bands, this wasn't doing it for me. It doesn't sound bad, but it feels unnecessary, specially when the album is so long. Even though the last part did impact my opinion very negatively, I still think this is an incredibly experience.

Coldplay left me well, cold

It's a good album but way, way too long

It's a shame that George got so mindbroken by Paul and John's overbearing presence in the songwriting process for the Beatles that he decided to eschew any notion of restraint or brevity in his first post-Beatles solo album, as this could have been an all-time great record if he'd had the good sense to cut some of the less interesting tracks and trim the length of a few others. For example, Isn't It a Pity, as beautiful a song as it is, has absolutely no business being 7 minutes long (with another 5 minute reprise later on!). And I make that complaint even without factoring in the Apple Jam portion of the record, as to be fair, it's essentially an entirely separate record awkwardly stapled onto this one, and can be safely skipped. Anyway, I know all that has been said to death, so with that gripe out of the way, this record is a lovely collection of songs that really highlight Harrison's abilities as both a songwriter and a guitarist. The kind of music that you're pretty much always going to be happy to hear, regardless of what mood you're in. Favourite tracks: Isn't It a Pity, Wah-Wah, Art of Dying

My sweet lord is a classic, instrumental tracks at the end were all nice. A few of the songs in the middle sort of blurred into one on only one listen through 3.5

Ambiental, I love that. Es super largo el disco igual. My sweet lord, a classic, and I get why

I was waiting for the album to be over. The only question I have is “why?”. It’s not great, and not horrible either, I’m just sad about time spent listening it. It’s really sad that it’s just ok

A classic

j'ai pas tout écouté car c'était un peu tout pareil, mais j'ai bien aimé la chanson "my sweet lord", que je connaissais déjà!

I mean come on

A bit to much hippyness. But impressive.

Great song writer

i didnt listen to this and i dont like music at all why would i care hftgf

Worse as it goes on

I do believe that George Harrison may be my favourite Beatle idk. I don't really know anything about the other ones but still. I like this vibe it's very groovy I can see how he's kinda the hippie one. Is he? I don't know anything about the Beatles. But this is a vibe. Inspired by my people as well. Over 2 hours is crazy though. This guitar work is devious. Why are they all so long how much does this guy have to say. Now I'm sure they're very interesting but I just don't care enough to listen to the alternate versions of the same songs. Super long albums like this tend to drag on a little imo. I feel like there are a lot of British references I'm not picking up on here tbh. I'm happy I'm not though fuck the Brits. Favourite: Behind That Locked Door Least favourite: It's Johnny's Birthday

O único álbum solo verdadeiramente bom do George. Um ou outro até conseguem ser legaizinhos, mas chamar de bom seria forçar a barra. É preciso separar a arte do artista, George era um Beatle bem legal, mas seu tempo no grupo não dá carta livre para ele lançar qualquer coisa na carreira solo. Verdadeiramente não entendo quem o tem como o melhor Beatle, seu output na banda foi satisfatório, com ótimas partes na guitarra e algumas canções incríveis como Something e While My Guitar Gently Weeps, mas o seu âmbito artístico nunca atingiu nem uma fração do que Paul e John fizeram na mesma quantidade de tempo, e isso é refletido também nas carreiras solos dos três. George era um ótimo artista, mas compará-lo a Paul ou John é um caso de bebê tossindo versus bomba de hidrogênio. Enfim, só queria deixar isso esclarecido antes de começar com a review propriamente dita, o disco All Things Must Pass. Há nesse álbum ótimas canções, especialmente no primeiro disco, faixas que melhorariam qualquer álbum dos Beatles. O maior problema desse álbum é evidente antes mesmo de se iniciar a sua escuta, ele é um álbum triplo, com mais de duas horas de duração. Seu terceiro disco sendo dedicado à um jam totalmente desnecessário e francamente inconsequente. Uma escolha verdadeiramente estranha que dilui demais a experiência da obra. Quando o álbum funciona, ele funciona de maneira brilhante. Há nas canções aqui pitadas de Country, licks do slide guitar sensacional de Harrison e composições lindas e emotivas que mostram que Here Comes The Sun não foi apenas relâmpago na garrafa. Mas eu digo e já fui crucificado por dizer que sem as mãos de McCartney o potencial de Harrison nunca pôde ser realizado. Sem a curadoria do restante da banda, sem a guia e a ajuda de seus compatriotas, é difícil George produzir um disco verdadeiramente 5 estrelas. Há momentos que a escuta fica tediosa, maçante e laboriosa. Canções que se estendem muito além da razão, e inevitavelmente causam exaustão e fadiga. Toda vez que me sento pra ouvir esse álbum inteiro é inevitável que eu caia numa leve soneca, fazendo com que eu precise rebobinar pra onde parei. George realmente era acima de tudo o Beatle sonolento. Eu adoro o conto de fadas do George ser esse grande gênio não reconhecido e destratado por seus contemporâneos. Mas essa linha de pensamento leva a decisões esdrúxulas como lançar um disco triplo de 2 horas, com canções instrumentais de 11 minutos e faixas (praticamente) repetidas. Com uma curadoria decente você poderia pegar as melhores canções aqui e fazer um disco único, e um álbum que verdadeiramente bateria de frente com o Paul e o John. E me desculpe por ficar toda hora batendo nessa mesma tecla, mas o que você esperava? Claramente boa parte desse álbum veio de um lugar de desdém do artista por seus ex-colegas. Não vamos praticar revisionismo histórico aqui, e nem pintar George como um anjinho delicado é impecável. Indulgente e entediante, com alguns momentos curtos de genialidade. Esse disco justifica claramente porque George era tratado daquele modo pelo John e Paul. 3.5/5

Good vibes, like the sound - way too overstuffed

incredibly well produced however there are only a few albums that are 2 hours long that don’t make it feel 2 hours long this is not an example of that.

So beautiful and deep

The best Beatle.

Groovy. Knew I was in for trip during the first song

I've been meaning to listen to this album for a while. Over the years, I have heard such high praise for it and was quite excited going in to it. After listening, however, it didn't live up to my expectations. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I didn't know anything about it going in. It is still a fantastic album, but not the perfect 10/10 I expected it to be. I'll be nice and give it a 4/5.

TL;DR: A few songs I recognize, a few hidden gems, a few forgettable ones.

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.

Double albums are normally the result of poor quality control. Artists so far up theirown arse they can’t recognise which songs are the duds and should be cut. Ironically, this album is made up of songs which Lennon, McCartney and Martin deemed not to make the cut for Beatles records. The result is an album better than most of the actual Beatles records. John needed Paul Paul needed John George just needed himself

Muito bom. Já tinha ouvido algumas vezes.

Absolutely phenomenal

1. My Sweet Lord 2. Let It Down 3. What Is Life (Out of the Blue is my favourite instrumental tracks) I really enjoyed this. I’d only ever listened to ‘My Sweet Lord’ but liked the album. I think it’s hard to keep people interested in such a long album but it did a great job. My favourite parts were often the guitar interludes (unsurprisingly), there were varied instrumentals throughout which I loved. OH and there are full instrumental tracks which are great and I like when albums have these because I think it helps pull the concept of the album together and show that it’s clearly not just odd songs pulled together. I don’t think I appreciated how much you can hear George Harrison’s voice in Beatles songs until I listened to this. I put him down to just playing the guitar to be honest. I knew he wrote ‘Something’ though which is one of my favourite Beatles songs and I think that similar style carries through to this album. It’s Bob Dylan made more enjoyable… (p.s. All Things Must Pass is like Beatles Evermore)

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

Because its so long, I was tempted to go down to 3, but in the end the songs are good, so whats a little bit of repetition (2 hrs of it...)

Love george

“All Things Must Pass” is the first record I’ve come across on this site that truly feels like something you have to experience before you die. This is pure, unfiltered George Harrison. This album truly begs the question, “why the hell did Lennon and McCartney limit this guy to only a couple songs per Beatles album?!” The jams are fine, I can personally take them or leave them, but I don’t think they detract from the album’s quality the way others say that they do. Overall, this is a GH showcase, and the fact that we were invited to listen along is above all else, a privilege.

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.

EXTREMEMENT LONG J'AI JAMAIS FINI DSL

muy largo para de verdad disfrutarlo en un día pero me gustó

There’s no need for an album to be this long and lacking in substance.

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.

Absolutely iconic cover. People seem to agree at this point that George is the best Beatle and this is the best solo Beatles album. But god damn is it long. I want to knock a point for Spotify forcing me into the 2014 remaster which is out of order from the original pressing, but I won't to be fair. The hits are the hits, probably could have dropped a few tracks but alas that's life. Remember, this too shall pass.

Very charming folk album. Love the addition of the sitar. Only recognized "My Sweet Lord".

I love George Harrison. Album 9/10

solid with edits it would b a 4 3/5

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 have been a big fan of The Beatles since I was a young child. I liked their solo projects to varying degrees, but probably listened much more to Paul’s and John's output. The sheer length of this album kept me away back then, so I've never listened to the whole thing before. I am aware of its reputation as being the "best of the solo albums" but I've also never been a huge George fan. I will say that listening to the Beatles albums due to this project, I am appreciating his songs more than I did back when I was listening to them regularly. On the good side, many of these songs are truly great. Many would have fit in well on Beatles albums. Standouts for me are Isn't It A Pity, What Is Life, and All Things Must Pass, but there isn't a stinker on any of the first four sides. On the bad side is that there is just too much. I'm currently listening to the Apple Jam and really don't care. It's not ruining the experience for me, but it's also not keeping my attention (hence writing this while it's still playing). I'm very glad to finally check this off my list, but other than a few songs I won't listen to it again.

Really liked this but it’s too long. My sweet lord is an amazing song and there’s other great stuff here too.

George Harrison is definitely a talented musician, but I really don't wanna spend 2 hours on listening to 70s pop rock. I'm sure there's some good music hidden here, but I'll let others listen to it for me, I think I'll pass.

fav songs out of it rn -let it down -behind that locked door

Any album this long should be too long to be great. Every rule has an exception I suppose. This album felt like an important release and opportunity for Harrison to be freed from any boundaries, shackles or inability to shine because of Paul and John. Probably my favourite solo album from a Beatles artist.

My sweet lord is a classic It is a really good album, but suffers from being a little same-y and has some lulls.

nah

There were a lot of good tracks, with strong, often uplifting lyrics, but I felt there was too much filler with the two disc format. Having only been familiar with his time with the Beatles and My Sweet Lord, I enjoyed a lot of the Disc 1 tracks. However, the instrumental jam band style songs that finished out Disc 2 seemed to drag on and were not my style.

Troppo lungo, improponibile

love his guitar the rocky stratocaster or whatever

DNF #ihatethebeatles

Last side is boring, but very impressive pop album

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.

was a little too long. solid listen though👍

A couple of bangers, but way too long and a bit pompous

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

Cozy! And long. Could see myself listening to this!

Could this have been cut down to a great single-disc album? Of course. But I think it works better as a double album, and there aren’t any songs I’d be eager to cut, even though I think some are weaker than others (Behind that locked door and Apple Scruffs, for example). The third disc of jams I think of as bonus tracks rather than a proper part of the album. Many of the songs are near or equal to the quality of George’s contributions to late Beatles albums, and given some (possibly many?) were written while the Beatles were still together, I’m curious what they would have sounded like with the band and, just as importantly, with George Martin producing. Judging as a solo work, I think it’s easily the best thing ever released by an ex-Beatle, and even outside of that context it’s a classic of 70s rock.

Two hours of arduous, mediocre nonsense.

Schande auf mein Haupt, aber ich finds komplett langweilig.

Gute Highlights und gerade "My Sweet Lord" sticht heraus (ewig nicht gehört...). In Summe aber einfach zu lang und eintönig für mehr als eine durchschnittliche Bewertung.

Auch endlich mal abgehakt. Per se ist das hier kein schlechtes Album. Es ist nur einfach viel zu lang und abgesehen von "My Sweet Lord" fehlen etwas die Standout-Songs, zu denen man häufiger zurückkehren möchte (kommt vielleicht mit häufigerem Hören). Für die Jams am Ende gibt es Punktabzug. Eingebettet in einen Song kann das für mich funktionieren, so losgelöst und dann auch noch 4x hintereinander ist das nur noch überflüssig.

Macht schon Laune und es ist unfassbar beeindruckend wie der Mann so viel rausholen kann. Aber am Ende reicht mir persönlich dann doch ein Äquivalent von Rod in „Sohn der Leere“, das danach von Bela mit „der George Harrison seiner Zeit“ quittiert wird.

Alles in allem schon sehr gut. Ich würde nur mal wieder die Längen, die sich hier ergeben, ankreiden.

Macht schon Spaß nur die Laufzeit zieht sich hinten raus etwas. Dafür sind die Highlights wirkliche Highlights und die Lowlights immer noch solide

Apple Music had a 23-track double-album! Listened on the plane. Really enjoyable music, given that I don’t love The Beatles’ sound that much. George Harrison definitely did a great job creating a reminiscent-but-unique sound for himself.

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.

great album man, absolutely adored the instrumental , the production is fairly good, the essence of the music is on point in every other track, something better in every next one, but i didn't like that one annoying track where the pae pae was playing. Loved the guitar the most. So much. George Harrison gave some to us, but as i read one review earlier "I have heard all of these songs somewhere but I just don't know where". Other than a really good album but I kinda feel like the instruments absolutely stole the show and the lyrics did absolutely nothin for me ion know why, but George's singing hit some spots , man good album man. I liked it. Sneaky , done well, effortful, long asf. But ugh the guitar i really liked. Creative laga uniqueness dikh gya idhr udhr and honestly it felt new anw. Great guitar, amazing snare drums, lord. I didn't expect myself to love the instruments on ts as much as I did.

Alltså jag har inte lyssnat klart på detta för det tar alldeles för lång tid. Det jag hört hittills är det inget fel på, bättre än The White Album faktiskt men jösses allt smälter bara ihop till en mishmash och jag har svårt att välja favoritlåtar. Typ 2,5 rundat upp.

Hari kisna

At first I thought this sounded too much like the 70s music I hate (like the Carpenters), but it wasn't exactly that and I did like some of the tracks. Still could have used a little more energy though.

It showcases George Harrison as a musical talent in his own right, he was always in the shadows of Lennon and McCarthy, yes the album is over long, the talent is unmistakable and really worth listening to, maybe not 2 hours worth.

My sweeeet lawd A bit long

Not my first listen Amazing as always My fav beatle

If this album was only "Art of Dying" and the instrumental stuff at the end, it'd be a 5 star album. Unfortunately, Mr. Harrison had a quality control phobia and thus we got a 2 hour long bloated mess.

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

Chill ass music

Only listed to My Sweet lord before this, George is probs my least listened to Beatle but i really love the folk sound. I'd Have You All the Time added to playlist! :)

10:31 listen 7/10 can imagine studying to this she’s cute !

Disc 3 really just a jam track and not really my vibe but the other 2 discs are incredible

For a triple album this is so consistent - so close to 5 stars but that last section with the jams lets it down a bit

Couldnt be bothered to finish. It was fine.

Beautiful

I got bored sorry george

Not even a full year after The Beatles came to an end, George Harrison decided to drop a 2 hour project to win over any Beatles fan who wasn’t already interested/listening to some of his earlier solo endeavors, and let’s just say it is an absolute staple of 70s Folk Pop/Pop Rock and still is a defining album for the genre over 50 years later. This album goes back to back to back with killer songs that never really seem to end. It has a lot calmer songs in the beginning and more guitar heavy pieces towards the back, but they flow into each other so well that you almost don’t even realize how much things have shifted until you go back for another listen. My whole experience with this album for a long time was My Sweet Lord and I'd Have You Anytime, I thought this whole project was going to be very Folk-y and I was totally here for it. Turns out I was completely wrong and that was only 1/3rd of the whole picture. Each section, including Apple Jam, has its' own distinct sound and style that all comes together surprisingly well for a 1 hour and 45 minute album. Apple Jam really is a bit of an oddball because some of it is very goofy songs that sadly hold this project down and then other parts are long absolutely killer instrumental songs just going ham in every way. I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion or not, but the “second disc” of this album absolutely rips and blows the first half clean out of the water. The 3 song streak of Art of Dying, Isn’t it a Pity (2nd version), and Hear Me Lord is legendary in its own right and really cements that previous statement for me. This project is so cool and definitely will soundtrack a lot of my roadtrips in the many years to come, and I am definitely glad I bit the bullet on the long ass runtime because every second was worth it. Don't sleep on George Harrison, he may not have been front and center for the Beatles very often but this project proves he could have handled it and done it with flying colors.

It’s over long and indulgent but it’s also filled with great songs.

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

Apple Jam could’ve been its own separate LP or EP and it wouldn’t have taken anything away from either.

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

Loved it!

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

now ts fire

Behemoth record, wonderful songwriting, thankful for The Shirelles.

Some good songs, some repeats on the album (remaster). Overall decent. “Ain’t it a Pity” was my favorite; especially because it was remixed by John Prine in “Pretty Good”

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

There are more than a handful of songs on this album that can bring me to tears in the right setting. This has always been a top 3 post-Beatles album for me. George Harrison was an absolute treasure. But… This album did not need to be this long. Had the first disc been the whole record, I think we may discuss this as one of the greatest records of all time. But a triple LP was unnecessary and unfortunately detracts a bit from the flow of the record. The best 12 songs are an easy 5/5, but unfortunately some parts only get a 2.5/5. Overall, that leaves me at a 4.25/5.

Easily one of the best Beatles solo albums. Yea sure its pretty long, but that just mean its loaded with bangers. I adore songs like "Isn't It a Pity", "Beware of Darkness" and the title track so much. Then there's "My Sweet Lord" which is one of my top 5 songs of all time. That song is unbelievably good. Overall, this album proves that George had just as much (if not more) talent as John and Paul. Favorite track: My Sweet Lord

a bad free dessert doesnt make a bad meal. 4.5. it would be cool to listen to a rawer version, a la let it be naked

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

Great album, my favorite post Beatles album from any of them

Top 10 album for me. George Harrison is the GOAT
