All Things Must Pass

Aw I just recently listened to this and I really really love it. Love u George-y <3 hate u Yoko

Un disco genial cuyo único pecado es ser muy largo para los estándares actuales, pero que es por la obvia cantidad de cosas que Harrison traía en el tintero de años atrás y que no había podido sacar. De mis rolas favoritas de George, este disco trae casi todas, sin ser un disco de éxitos. Let It Roll, All Things Must Pass, Isn't It A Pitty y I'd Have You Anytime son muestra de lo gran músico y letrista que era.

Such a lovely album. What is life is such an incredible song.

Released a year after the Beatles’ break up, this album shows just how much songwriting George Harrison was doing. His music oscillates between the more guitar driven and even jam based stuff and the more contemplative Dylan and country influences music. Harrison focuses much of his lyrics on his faith and one can’t help but feel his sincere devotion to it. Production wise, this might be Phil Spector’s finest work. The songs feel big and inhabited by a lush and full instrumentation. This is a triple album and is exceptionally long. The final few tracks are more jam based and being to tax the listener a bit. However, this album is just too good, especially in the wake of a career as a Beatle, not to give it five stars.

This was a surprise, what a great album!

Sunrise doesn't last all morning...

I love the Beatles but I had never listened to this mainly because I thought it would all sound like My Sweet Lord. Thankfully it does not. George wrote some strong and thoughtful tracks and the musicians he surrounded himself with are excellent. Even the Bob Dylan song is a good one!

4,5 stars

Really good album. Gives Pink Floyd vibes. Good for the morning, chill music

I was a fan of this. I love George Harrison and, perhaps as a contrarian, want to consider him my favorite Beatle. I had no idea he released solo work so early. My only real qualms are that the run time is long with the alternate versions. I never know how to consider them in a ranking like this, because if you look right at the “core” tracks, this is tight. Mid 4

Incredible album. 4/5.

Hot dog some of these reviews are as long as the album was! Too long to focus on everything, but a very good album all the same.

A long project and not always on the target, but there’s gems in here and a greatly significant album.

A good classic to listen to !

Most of the tracks are great, but the worst ones ('I Dig Love' and Apple Jam stuff) are pretty terrible. Despite that and the excessive length, this is probably my favorite of the Beatles solo albums.

Rock. On peut y entendre l'influence que George a eu sur la musique des Beatles.

Some say the best Beatle produced the best post-Beatle album. Well no, he’s not the best (Ringo obvs) but ATMP is easily the best of their band’s first breakup albums. George front-loaded it with the hits, but there are gems everywhere. It does peter out with overlong bluesy jams toward the end, but All Things… is the sound of a creatively stifled man unleashing everything he’s been waiting so long to reveal. And it’s lovely.

A man who had gems on Beatles records releases a triple album of gems. An embarrassment of riches here. Wonderful.

Voilà la preuve qu'on peut faire un long album sans devenir barbant. Je sais que c'est loin d'être le seul long album qui vaut largement le coup, mais je me suis pas encore remis des 3 heures de The Magnetic Fields. All Things Must Pass est un album très riche. Il est très cohérent du début jusqu'à la grosse session de jam sur laquelle il se termine (c'est clairement un moment à part). On va du morceau rock assez nerveux à la balade folk, presque country par moment. On a même droit à du rock chrétien ? Diantre ! Il y a vraiment une atmosphère agréable sur cet album, que je ne saurais pas encore définir. Il faudrait que je le réécoute, mais on se croirait un peu avec George Harrison sur la pochette, dans une étendue herbeuse au bord de la forêt, à regarder le temps passer, peut-être avec une petit bière et une guitare. Il faudra vraiment que je le réécoute. Enfin, arrive les derniers titres de l'album, le troisième disque de l'édition vinyle. On change de ton et d'ambiance. Cette fois, c'est de la pure improvisation et c'est probablement le seul moment où on peut plus ou moins faire des rapprochements avec les Beatles. Car oui, un truc que j'apprécie beaucoup avec cet album, c'est que même si c'est un album solo d'un ancien des Beatles, il développe un style tellement personnel qu'on ne dirait même pas que ça vient de quelqu'un qui a joué sur Sergent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. On comprend qu'il ait eu envie de se lancer dans sa propre carrière. Je doute que de telles compositions aient eu leurs places sur un album de son ancien groupe. Et c'est pas si courant que l'album solo d'un membre d'un grand groupe ait autant de personnalité. Ah et en plus, j'apprends donc que cette fameuse chanson que j'entends depuis mon enfance sur Nostalgie et dont j'ai jamais été hyper fan est issue de la carrière solo de George Harrison et s'appelle Sweet Lord. Intéressant !

I have never really listened to this album in its entirety, so it will be an interesting listen for me. I wonder how many people skip over the first brilliant track and go straight to the well known My sweet Lord. What an incredible opening track. I have heard the Galaxie 500 cover of Isn't it a pity, which is sensational, so I am pleased to hear the original with Harrisons guitar. If not for you was great, especially with that harmonica. There is a great influence of country elements throughout the album, especially evident in Behind the locked door. Run of the Mill is lovely, and up there with one of my favorites so far. after Beware of Darkness, the album goes through a lull until the title track and the Art of dying. The first half of this album is significantly better than the second half. I would probably find myself mostly listening to record 1. Isn't it a pity (both versions) and Run of the Mill are my standout tracks. 4 stars

Been waiting to hear this album, thought it was great just a tad bit long for my liking

I really enjoyed this album. It was a great example of that 70s rock and blues fusion that took off in that era. Just great songs overall, noting too revolutionary but just a solid album. I will say it’s a little long but I enjoyed it.

I judge anyone who likes this nonsense just a little bit.

excellent. just excellent

A surprising (to me) result of powering through this list is that it made me question whether I really am a Paul Guy, or if it turns out I am a John Guy. The needle on George hasn’t moved much at all. A distant third. I’ve listened to this one before, and knew I liked it, and I still do. He’s sometimes got an almost cheugy indie rock sensibility that I probably would have dug in 2007 if I had noticed it at the time. Now it just makes me go “Oh that’s kind of neat.” Also this is pretty much the only context in which it’s sorta ok to release a triple LP.

4/5 The albums just a bit too long. Favorite Songs: My Sweet Lord Wah Wah What Is Life Let It Down Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let it Roll) Awaiting on You All Art of Dying Hear Me Lord Plug Me In Thanks for the Pepperoni / Out of the Blue

If this were just the first disk, it would be a 10/10 album. However, that doesn't mean the rest isn't good, because there are great tracks and moments on both Disk 2 and the Apple Jams. Outstanding album, probably the best double album I have listened to so far!

He should’ve staggered it.

Great songs but feels a bit melancholic.

Really great. Only didn't get a 5 because I didnt leave latching on to any specific songs. Rating: 8.6/10 Fave: Art of Dying

Beautiful

C'était bien coolos

Some solid bangers

Great album. One of the most creative artists of our time...

Liked: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,21,22,23,24,27,28 Disliked: 10,20,25,26 Total Songs: 28 Ratio: 24/28 Converted Score: 4.29/5 Top 3 1. Isn't It A Pity - Version Two 2. Art Of Dying 3. Hear Me Lord

I think George Harrison just became my fav Beatle... I very much enjoyed: I'd have you anytime, my sweet lord, What is Life, If Not for You,

Oh George. You were truly the Repressed One. A TRIPLE album right out of the gate? It has your two best songs, and you deserve to be here, but couldn't you have at least broken this monster up over a few years?

Pretty good

Oh George... Top 4 Beatle for sure. This is the first album I already had saved. Very long but still pretty great. Much of the album sounds pretty similar except for a few really cool black sheep (Art of dying, Johnny's Birthday, etc.). Lot of good easy-listenin' tracks in here. Big fan. Hard to pick favorites though, also hard to pick least favorites. Might be my favorite solo-act Beatle album. Favorite(s): I'd have you anytime Art of Dying Least: Wah-Wah

I use to listen to this all the time as a kid and Run of the Mill used to be favorite song as like a 12 year old. That being said the original release fizzles out and the cd release order of everything is out of line. Cut down to a normal single album there’s a 5/5 or close to it. 4

Is George the best Beatle? Favs: What is life, Apple Scruffs Leasts: Wah-Wah 4/5

While very long there were a ton of classics and its such a different sound than the Beatles that it feels like George was taking a breath of fresh air and stretching his creative legs

Πολύ καλό και έχει μια ενιαία ατμόσφαιρα η οποία είναι αρκετά χαλαρωτική σε όλη τη διάρκεια του δίσκου. Αρκετά σκαθαριωτικα στοιχεία, ποιος να το περίμενε.

Escucha

Probably didn't need the double album, but there are some great songs in this collection. Favorite tracks: All Things Must Pass, My Sweet Lord

For all the good things going for this project, it is just way too long.

How i wish i could give a 4,5 stars rating

My favorite Beatle. His solo work is some of my favorite of all time. His guitar has so much feeling to it and his vocals are so natural and real. Some of my favorite songs are the longer, mostly instrumental ones.

Was literally thinking about this exact album yesterday what… Anyways this is such a great album some parts did feel dragged and that’s what stops it from giving it a 9 or even possibly a 10 with enough listens. I’ll give an 8/10.

Este álbum me da tranquilidad, bueno para escuchar de fondo

This album with the visual aid of the NH/VT hills let me stop thinking and start feeling the music. Sometimes that can be hard for me, but it happened here. I might overinflate the rating because of that

Bangers chill vibes

Isnt it a pity. Isn't it a shame.

This album is what happens when you are part of the most famous band in the world, who also happens to have one of the most famous songwriting partnerships in the world, and that partnership only lets you contribute one song per album because they think their songwriting is superior. Evidently Harrison had so many songs built up that Lennon/McCartney wouldn't let him put on any Beatles albums, that he went into the studio after the band broke up and put them all on this album. Which is why we ended up with a triple album. I'm generally not a fan of a double album, so a triple album is a lot for me. I had to listen to this one over two days because I just don't usually have a 2 hour block of time in a day that I can dedicate to listening to an album. I will say that I did enjoy this album, although I wish it was shorter. There was only one song on it that I knew, but I actually prefer Harrison's style to the Beatles. I think not including the "Apple Jam" would have been fine, but I can see why Harrison wanted to show off the musical talents of all the incredible people that he worked with on the album. Too long for me to ever listen to straight through again, but a great album!

Lot of great songs in here. A tad long but for a double album it stays engaging enough. i maybe could've done without the third disc though; the jams are fine enough but i don't think they really add much to the album experience. Overall I still like this album though.

George seems a searching sort. I like that. This album mostly pristine, but just doesn’t carry it through all the way to the end. I even respect the parts that don’t work, but can’t quite go full five.

My Sweet Lord may be the most beautiful song written by a Beatle.

it honestly just feels like a longer beatles record. and while i enjoyed it, i don't think it's a 5/5, probably more like a 4pointsomething/5. it was really fun though and I'll have to come back to it eventually.

First track was forgettable, but then it went into My Sweet Lord and Wah-Wah, which are both jams. Isn't It a Pity was good as well. The end of Disc 1 started to drag, but Disc 2 was pretty solid. 4*

Planned to go back to this because I was only half listening. That ain’t happening anytime soon. Pretty confident a 4 was in order.

Undeniably proves that the Beatles were much more than Lennon & McCartney. I wish this were pared down just a bit so I don’t see it as a 5 but honestly it’s much better than a 4

All Things Must Pass is among the most famous underdog stories in all of pop, and who doesn’t love an underdog story?(Set aside the fact that the concept of an underdog Beatle is clearly absurd.) After years of playing second (third?) fiddle to Lennon/McCartney, Harrison knocks it out of the park with his first solo record, a double album jammed pack with ideas, hooks, excellent playing. He’s snubbing his nose at his former bandmates, as if to say, “I told you so.” To date, it’s arguably the best post-Beatles Beatle album. I once was taken in by the hype around this record, and while it’s very good, I don’t know that it’s AS brilliant as we’d all like to believe. We love the narrative, we love the shy Beatle, and so we love the album. But no song on it quite reaches the heights of George’s best Beatles tracks, and I think that’s an indication of SOMETHING. Don’t get me wrong: it’s a solid record with great songs, it’s just not quite a 5-star entry for me.

Lots of really amazing all-time songs. It almost makes me happy the Beatles broke up so we were able to hear more songs by George Harrison. There are some songs present that, while ahead of their time, feel a little silly in modern contexts.

Nice songs, but still not enough to warrant a double/triple album. Forgive me as I commit the grave sin of criticising a Beatles’ song writing but I do think the first bunch of songs (before Apple Scruffs) are a bit too similar, although they’re initially beautiful, at least on first listen. The last three tracks could definitely have been cut off. It’s 15 minutes of instrumental jamming which feel out of place with what was previously in the album. It doesn’t build on or reflect anything that came before it. On the positive, there wasn’t a single horrible song on here. Some I liked less than others but nothing was unlistenable. I still think there’s too many, but at least it isn’t like double albums with blatant filler you’d never listen to. And of course there is a lot of good songs on here.

First album to review :) Has rock n'roll, beatles, country-sounding music. A lot of music that sounds like end credit music. Favorite songs. All Things Must Pass Run Of The Mill Behind That Locked Door -reminded me of Israel Kamakawiwo'we My Sweet Lord

George Songs, they called him. He had a lot. Dig the slide guitar. Miss the diversity of the rest of beatles, as good as this is.

Damn is album opens with such a good hook. George's guitar is so good. ... Damn this thing kinda long. I think you need to be in the right metal space and environment to be able to enjoy this album fully. Maybe a long car ride.

Enjoyed more than I thought I would

So good, so chill, just shy of perfect

QUEL CHAMPION ! il est trop fort même pas besoin du reste de l’équipe pour gérer (j’aime trop) sa voix, les musiques en général sans faute 😜

No, George - thank YOU for the pepperoni

One of Harrison’s great post Beatles creations.

Gentle, smooth, nice, legendary, just a little too long

This is really good, isn't it?

91/100 fell off like 2/3rds of the way through the album

a lot of popular songs in this one I quite like

very long album, 2 hours fun disc1, disc2 instrumental out of the blue 11mins: not necessary but enjoyed it

Jeg synes at det er rigtigt godt, men ingen albums skal være +2 timer lange. Det er for meget.

*79/100 1. Plade er virkelig god, 2. Plade er mindre Beatles og mere Jørgen spillemand, hvilket nok er meningen, men det var mindre godt. Alt i alt solidt.

Det her har jeg ret meget optur over. Helt på linje med det Beatles vi har hørt indtil videre - og måske faktisk også lidt over. Det her kunne sagtens være noget jeg satte på igen!

En svær en. Jeg kan godt lide sing and song stemningen med lidt Beatles klang, men det bliver samtidig lidt kedeligt, specielt på disk 2. Det bliver til en meget lille 4'er

Too long but I guess when you’re a Beatle you can do that Playlist add: "My Sweet Lord"

First track is forgettable. My Sweet Lord is such a good track. Ooh, I like Wah Wah - nice garage-y psch use of the wah. Isn't it a Pity is a nice kind of bittersweet song. I think I'm seeing that George Harrison may be my favourite songwriter of the beatles. His solo stuff is like the best of the beatles. What is Life has a very kind of 60s pop feel - think Everylasting Love. Let it Down is very theatrical, almost like a movie soundtrack. Bonus tracks on the linked remaster are great too. Acoustic Let it Down keeps the vibe with stripped back instrumentals. What is Life instrumental shows off the song writing nicely. Apple Scruffs is also a sweet little song Plug Me In comes in as a harder rock song and shakes things up again. This album is full of twists and turns. Out of the Blue is a fun improv, but I can't tell what GH is actually doing here. Best track - My Sweet Lord (even if I already knew it it's still worth it if nothing else stands out), Wah Wah, What is Life (original or instrumental), Out of the Blue 4 stars - it hasn't given me any new earworms, but it kept me interested over a long run-length and it has shown me that Harrison is a really great songwriter

Altogether excellent, but it's true that it's entirely too long. Like anything sweet, a little tastes good, but too much and it gives you a belly ache.

"My Sweet Lord" makes me immeasurably happy each time I come across it. It's not for the lyricism, there are all of 10 lyrics, or the dynamic changes, it is just a great song. And adding in "What is Life" makes me question what John and Paul were thinking by passing up these songs for Beatles albums. Special shout out to the absurd riff on What is Life....he should have added 6 or 7 more verses just so we could hear the riff a few more times. Overall the album is absolutely lovely if perhaps a little long.

Tough call. Some very good stuff on here but also just a lot of filler.

Too long indeed but up there with the best stuff the Beatles or any of their members put out

Way too long, but pretty good still.

He’s like a calm rock artist and his music feels like a morning with a calm gold sky that has birds flying. 9/10

Rode my bicycle to the Closter K Mart to buy this one.

George might well be my favourite Beatle, maybe that’s owed to my parents’ having one of his albums on cassette tape in rotation for in long car journeys but it wasn’t this album. Sweet Lord is a classic but it was the only track I knew from here; I was concerned the length of the album may put me off but I enjoyed every minute, particularly some of the jams on disc 2.

So many songs. I'm speechless.

Buen disco. Intimo, artístico, sincero, sin pretensiones. Simplemente un buen disco. Se nota que Harrison se la pasó de huevos haciéndolo. El disco completo se siente como un recorrido en un gran campo montañoso, nubloso y majestuoso; a su vez, este esta repleto de pequeños rincones peculiares cada uno distinto de los demás. En uno te encuentras con un pequeño rincón lleno de flores y vegetación; en otro te encuentras una banca vieja y desgastada con un tronco para descansar tus piernas al estirarlas; y así cada canción. Recomendable y para escuchar varias veces. Top 3 canciones: My Sweet Lord (obvio), If Not For You y, mi favorita, I Live For You.

Muy bonito. El otro mejor Beatle, un gigante a la sombra de dos titanes. Para guardar: My sweet lord, Wah-Wah y What is life en sus dos versiones.

Never listened to this in full and I'm glad I did! This album feels like the last act of a film where the protagonist puts everything together and their life changes for the better. Mind you, when I say this, I'm speaking of the FEELING it evokes. Overall, I liked it a lot, played it twice in a day, so that says something.

Listened to this in the original release order per some of the other reviews on here, and I do think that it's the better choice, and it makes it a slightly shorter listen! At first I was not into this at all, "My Sweet Lord" is not my thing and the first few tracks were a slot to get through. Once the religious vibes backed off a bit and we got into more slide guitar territory though it got much better. "Isn't It A Pity?" "If Not For You" "Let It Down" "Run of the Mill" "All Things Must Pass" and "I Dig Love" were the standouts for me

Great

Already listsned to this one a while ago and loved it!

A bit of editing couldn't have hurt, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and blame this on the fact that this album was remastered in 2014.

It was good something i was not really into but I could see the magic behind it it made me feel i will listen to it again some day

Likely my first introduction to George Harrison, and this one delivers.

Some goods songs I knew but didn't know they were George Harrison. 3.5

Generational talent and bangers. I always thought this was his 1st album but not true. Said it debuted his slide guitar style. I always loved George because he could play any style. He didn't get locked into one rhythm pattern or sound. All those 10,000 hours playing ever cover song known to man paid off.

This album has been so thoroughly dissected by the Wikipedia article and the reviewers here that I won't make too much of an effort but for my own notes. Wonderful, without exception Overlong, by a good measure. Should have been two albums, each with some bonus material George, without a shadow of a doubt, was the BEST Beatle There are three versions of the album on Tidal, none of which match the original release very well. I listened to the version I thought most resembled the original, and still felt like I was compromising the experience. I don't think I'm considering Apple Jam as part of the album. While enjoyable on its own, it's kind of non-sequitur. Especially so, when considering how much it adds to the ONE HUNDRED AND SIX MINUTE runtime of the album. That's just too much

Disk 1 is a clear cut 5/5. But it's over 2 hours long and the backside is kinda weird. Will come back for Disk 1 for sure tho

Another one of those sprawling multi-album sets. Oh my, did GH have lots stored up. The frustrated artist certainly pours our. A really solid collection songs.

pretty good, loved "i live for you," "let it down," "run of the mill" and apple scruffs. listened to the 2014 remaster side 2 is better so far - 'art of dying,' 'i dig love,' 'awaiting on you all' and 'apple scruffs'

Definitely good vibes

Great but far too long.

Slow and sad music. Guitar heavy. Great Rhythm. Seems predominantly love songs or past love. Love the screech of the guitar mixed with the more predominant simple rhythmic guitar. Tambourines. Beautiful album fully. Long. 4/5

Why did it have to be a triple album? Take 40 minutes of the worst stuff out and it's a 5.

Lots of exquisite, gorgeous tracks, the Wall of Sound wins me again. The jams at the end feel more like unneeded padding though

love a good harrisong

I really like disc 1 of this album. So many classics and a real showcase of all of the prime material George was holding onto in those final years as a Beatle. Most of disc 1 + all things must pass from disc 2 a 5/5 for me. But... Everything else is a 2/5 to a 3/5. There is soooo much filler and random tracks that the album really stalls out for me.

A great album from a truly remarkable song writer. Keeps you hooked from start to finish with lots of variation in sounds.

Pretty good album, on the long side. My sweet lord is the best song on here of course.

Han kunne godt have gemt jam sessionen til 50 års jubilæums udgivelsen for min skyld, men selv med den er det helt klart mit yndlings Beatles solo album. My Sweet Lord var det eneste nummer jeg allerede kendte, og jeg synes næsten det er et af de værste. Stor 4

Synes chokerende nok ikke rigtig den her trækker i langdrag, fordi standarden bare er vildt høj. Jamsene er sågar mindre irriterende end man skulle tro

Surprised that this didn't feel as long as it actually were. Nice songs.

damn george i didnt know beatles mess like thatttt😭😭isn't a pity is a fuckin gag like yes nobody was born but my dad but i feel hella nostalgicccccccccccc

The jam at the end is lame. The rest is amazing.

One of my favourite solo projects from any of the beatles. George is so talented and underrated. RIP.

Love this one :D

Going to be 5 until the last 4 11 minute instrumentals hit.

Honestly really good but just too long. Would have been a 5 if it had been cut back a bit

Really good. First half is a masterpiece, cant fault it. Second half has a few dodgy tracks which takes the shine off a little. The guitar work is incredible and general feel really good.

Some recognisable songs on here. Would I listen to it again as a run-through, probably not. But it was enjoyable.

The intro was perfect. George is a powerhouse as a solo artist. My favorite thing about this album so far is the slide guitar. The lyrics in “isn’t it a pity” has me reflecting on my life. This is a perfect song. If not for you is a love song filled with sweet words and striking imagery. The second part of the album wasn’t as captivating as the first for me but that’s because it was mostly instrument lead. The instrumentation is unreal but I wish I was able to experience it in person. I do appreciate the recall to classic rock and roll. Disc 1 is near perfect. As a standalone it’s a 10/10. Disc 2 is also extremely good but it wasn’t as captivating as 1 for me… probably because it was mostly instrument lead. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE the instrumentation but I needed more for it to keep my attention. I feel like Disc 2 would be 10/10 if I were able to experience it in live. I do appreciate the recall to classic rock and roll. George Harrison is a true musician. 9/10.

A complete masterpiece until it turns into a huge boring riff-fest for the last few tracks

The solo output from George Harrison shows how important he was for the Beatles sound. For me the most interesting member of the Beatles, with an exception for the Wings output from Paul McCartney. 4/5

A good album not one that needs to be this long

There's lots of good, classic songs on here. But there's not enough theme and drive to justify the length on a first run-through.

Long and varied, like going on an adventure. Doesn't have any really strong singles

George Harrison spent years as the third Beatle, his songs rationed carefully while Lennon and McCartney dominated the available space. All Things Must Pass is what happens when that backlog finally gets released — three albums worth of material, produced by Phil Spector at his most ambitious, and a statement of artistic identity so complete it silences any lingering doubts about where the quiet one really stood. The production is the first thing that strikes you — dense, warm, and enveloping in a way that Phil Spector's Wall of Sound rarely achieved without tipping into excess. Here it serves the songs rather than overwhelming them, giving everything a grandeur that feels earned rather than imposed. The slide guitar throughout is Harrison at his absolute peak, that sustained singing tone reaching for something just beyond the frame of each song. "My Sweet Lord" arrives already beloved through the Parlor Greens cover that lives in this particular musical world — hearing the original in full album context reveals what that arrangement was drawing from. The spiritual warmth, the melodic generosity, the sense of genuine seeking rather than performed devotion. It's as good as advertised. What keeps this at four rather than five is the absence of a single truly transcendent moment — the kind of thing that stops you completely and rewires something. Everything here is really good. Nothing quite crosses into irreplaceable. That's a high bar, and the Beatle shadow makes it slightly higher — you know what transcendence sounds like from the White Album and Abbey Road, and "really good across the board" sits just below it. A strong four. George was underrated. This record proves it without quite being the one that changes everything.

What a long album. It's quite an artistic expression to fit so much music in a single release. The quality of the 2nd album is so much higher than the first. And the instrumental album is fun, until it isn't. I can see the revolutionary aspect of it coming out in 1970. If it were split into 2 releases, it could be 1 perfect album and another really good, but not great album, this stays in the middle.

Very cool songs to play in the back

What makes it so powerful is release. Harrison does not sound like he is making a careful debut. He sounds like years of backlog, resentment, spirituality, tenderness, and melodic invention have all been uncorked at once. That is the album’s real electricity. You are hearing someone who had been rationed to a couple songs per Beatles record suddenly arrive with an entire inner world intact.

The best post Beatles album any of them made in my opinion. Which is to also say that it's not perfect and is overlong, but there is enough here to warrant a solid 4. There are fun playlists that takes the best from all the solo Beatles albums to create what a theoretical follow up album would have been (and for me they show that it would have been greater than the sum of its parts). Tracks from this feature heavily. Worth a search....

Classic for a reason, it seems. Favorite tracks: My Sweet Lord, Isn't It a Pity, Art of Dying, Out of the Blue. 3.75 rounded up to a 4.

George Harrison knows exactly how to make a double LP long, yet engaging and without many filler tracks (just like the white album). The instrumentation of his slide guitar and layering of horns, keys and other instruments keeps one on their toes wondering what track will come next. What I also admire about the album is that the second disc is just as good as the first, written/production wise and through its quality. But would I come back to this album over and over again? Probably not. There are definitely many songs that are pieces of art such as the ballad “My Sweet Lord” and opus “Out of the Blue” but it is an album I’d come back to every month or so. Top Songs: Disc 1 My Sweet Lord Isn’t It a Pity What Is Life Disc 2 Awaiting on You All All Things Must Pass Art of Dying Hear Me Lord Album Rating-Decent 7

Hare, Hare, Hare Krishna! An unexpectedly great debut album from one the least talented Beatles - on paper at least.

Yeah, brilliant but too long. Agreed.

hey, i know this one! probably my second favorite Beatles-related thing or adjacent project. impressively, the length does not bother me. i think its adorable that he wrote a love song for his fan club. i wish i could give half stars here cuz this is a 4.5 out of 5 if there ever was one. oh well

fav songs: i'd have you anytime my sweet lord wah-wah isn't it a pity (version 1) if not for you behind that locked door beware of darkness awaiting on you all all things must pass warm, melodic, spiritual 85/100

3.7 Possibly the best post-Beatles album and I've never heard it before! (well, apart from the Hare Krishna one, which might actually be the weakest track heh). Only let down by it's bloatedness. I actually think the jam disc isn't actually the waste of time, a fair few of the primary tracks pass by uneventful. Still, there are more than enough good songs on here to warrant a decent score.

I liked the album. It was incredibly long though. Maybe it was because I listened to another 2 or 3 albums from this list today. Love the cover art, but I didn't add any of the songs to my liked songs.

Yes this is long… but honestly could have been longer. I think I only knew my sweet lord… but sweet lord I need to listen to more GH!! 4.1

I was a bit worried when I saw the length of this album. It’s basically three LPs in one. That said, the filler that I feared never really materialized. This was pretty excellent throughout! I even enjoyed the Apple Jam stuff at the end, though they don’t stand up to the jamming I’m used to from my favorite, Goose. 8/10 Most Excellent

Going in to this album I am happy as firstly, I love the Beatles as a whole and also their component artists, hell, I even have a Ringo Starr album, secondly this album is in many best of the 70s lists. This feels very Beatlely. It’s interesting that I have heard My Sweet Lord all my life but perhaps never really listened to it, it is magnificent. On a down note I felt the album was quite long and many of the tracks did not stand out.

The kind of album made for a movie soundtrack.

звучит очень свежо и позитивно, по-весеннему, мне понравилось

Love! Also, don't think it needed to be a double album, however that might be some of the bonus materials for the release I listened to. Great album though!

It's giving The Beatles(?) 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Possibly my favourite Beatles-related album, it's rather long but mostly songs here are quite good and My Sweet Lord is a personal favourite song of mine. Very relaxing stuff

There is no doubt that Harrison was an amazing songwriter. The guest artists on this record (Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Peter Frampton, Phil Collins, among many others) are testament to the respect and tremendous reach of the Beatles. Although Harrison later regrated it, Phil Spector’s production contributes to the albums now iconic sound signature. Yes, this album is long, but Harrison wanted to create a record that was sonically diverse. In this case, I think it works. Some songs are better than others, but I think this is more a matter of personal taste than songs being objectively better than others long records on this list. This album represents an important part of music history. In many ways setting the tone for rock in the early 70s. It absolutely belongs on any list of important records. I really enjoyed the listen and will listen again, although likely one record at a time.

Really good. I haven't listened to much solo work from The Beatles and I wouldn't be surprised if people consider this the best one. I just have the same problem I have with all double albums, which is that I always think even the best double albums more often than not could be trimmed down to one INCREDIBLE single album. Might be more about my attention span than anything else, but this is for sure one of the better double albums out there. 4.5 stars.

cutesy soul searching john love letter

I was not excited about having to slog through this massive album. But was very surprised with how much I enjoyed it, but it did over stay its welcome.

On songwriting alone, this album is a solid 5. George Harrison was a man with so many fascinating contradictions, and this record offers a fun peek into his mind. However, he needed a producer who was comfortable saying no - everything is so busy the songs end up diluted.

This is pound for pound the best post Beatles solo release but I found myself enjoying it less than other listens, by the end it’s kind of a jam (with som of the best ever musicians so I get it) but it’s still a classic.

George Harrison is my favourite Beatle. He wrote some of my favourite Beatles songs and it is not without reason that he was universally beloved by musicians and comedians alike. This album showed his range from tender love songs to heavier rock. A large chunk of the second album is dedicated to some extended jam sessions. I love those. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall. Eventually, George had to pass too, way too soon. Luckily his legacy lives on.

Frábær plata sem ég mun klárlega hlusta á aftur. Gef henni 4 núna. Finnst yfirleitt hlustun 2 betri en nr 1 og þá gæti vel verið að hún fær 5 stjörnur

Oh, I love this album. But damn is it long. Even Stevie in Songs in the key of Life gets tiring after an hour and a half. But I’m happy to go in again… Yeah. Isn’t it a pity this album isn’t shorter? I mean it would be an easy 5, 6, 7 if at least 1/2 were cut. And put on a different album. You know, people do that. You don’t have to include EVERYTHING in one place. Leave them wanting more. And, yes the material here, like much of McCartney’s solo work, is stuff I would rather listen to than any Beatles album any day. But not all at once. No, not all at once. A frustrating 4 stars. Boolean rating: yes, yes I am glad to hear this before I die. But it’s better broken up. A continuous listen makes me appreciate it less, not more.

Oh boy, my first Beatles album ever and it's just the one Beatle actually. Being the only person in the world who has never listened to a Beatles album means I have no idea how this stacks up by comparison. And I'm kinda glad for it (yay, no baggage). This is pretty damn good. A few misses here and there but all 'n' all - pretty good. "Out of the Blue" onward is fantastic (I guess that would be the "Apple Jam" portion). Get a bunch of quality musicians in a room and let 'em just rip. Chef's kiss. The fact that the critic in charge of writing this one up ("AG") refers to the jam disc as "forgettable" cements in my mind that the writers of this book and I are not even close to being on the same wavelength. Ok then, just put more bland ass britpop on the list to make up for it - oh right, too late.

Some phenomenal songs in here - maybe even better than some of The Beatles, but as an album this is just too long. Even the great songs feel a bit repetitive and lose their enjoyment. Overall loved it though.

I really enjoyed this one. Vintage George on disc 1, kick-ass jams on disc 2.

Je ne connaissais pas tant son oeuvre en solo. Le plus jeune Beatles, le guitariste considéré le ''quiet Beatle''. Il manquait pas de découvertes sur un album de 2 heures! La fin est très instrumentale, c'est beaucoup dans le softy. J'ai bien aimé, gros gros coup de coeur pour My sweet Lord. Un 4 pour le vibe.

Great album to kick this project off with: Starts a bit slow, but wow this is getting good halfway through disk 1.

Feels like peace

George Harrison had some aces in his sleeves after The Beatles split. This would be 4,5 or 5/5 as a double album, but the third "Jam album" is total waste of time.

Standouts My Sweet Lord What is Life Let it Down Plug Me In Out of the Blue

Better than I expected it to be. Some songs too Beatle-y for my taste. I lost interest towards the end of the B side.

Good lord, a triple album!? I'm glad I checked beforehand, was able to skip a few tracks at the end of the first half that are only from special edition rereleases. Even though this beast of an album clocks in at almost two hours (not counting those bonus tracks of course) and I have the attention span of a goldfish with access to Tiktok, I really enjoyed this album. It's a testament to just how good the Beatles were that George Harrison wrote songs like this and wasn't even considered to be in the top 50% of Beatles. I will be deducting one point for Apple Jams - the string of five tracks at the end. Mostly they are boring, repetitive instrumental tracks with strange titles and a lot of fairly unimpressive guitar noodling, and the one exception "It's Johnny's Birthday" is just weird. I think we could've skipped that whole third act and the album would've been fantastic, even in spite of the long runtime.

Really strong album. The remaster is a little long, but all great songs.

The wall of sound is awesome. This album took me a while to process, but it was a good experience. To the person who spent a paragraph complaining about “Apple Scruffs” and ended it with “who is this for?”: it’s for me. I love this track. Get off my back.

George Harrison at 7am is good for the soul. I LOVED this album.

álbum lindo demais, art of dying e all things must pass músicas perfeitas hinos dos anjos. perde estrela por ser um pouquinho grande demais, mas entendo que o divo tava cansado de ser esnobado nos beatles pelo ditador mccartney (te amo paul) e meteu logo todas as músicas que ele possuía no seu catalogo ignorado.

I understand why, but this album is definitely too long. Also, it's crazy that Not Guilty didn't show up on it, but there are 2 versions of Isn't it a Pity. On top of it I just don't dig songs about religion. Any religion. Also, fuck Phil Spector.

Would have made five stars as a single album.

calm luh

Enjoyed.

Den enda i The Beatles som kommer dö med värdighet? Nåväl. Halva plattan är enorm och dessa spår står sig än idag. Men det finns 8-10 spår som inte åldrats lika bra. Få som kommer helskinnade ut med ett dubbelalbum men Harrison gör väl det.

Tror aldrig jag har lyssnat på ett helt George Harrison album förut. Härligt att få tillfälle att göra det. Out of the blue var ju magisk

Som älskare av gubbrock är det här inte direkt något svårsmält för Dino. Men det här är också gubbrock på en HÖG nivå. Skulle vilja säga att det här är tidlöst haha Ruggigt nära en femma, men det är lite, liiiiiite för långt. Väldigt stark fyra

Nära på bästa "Beatles"-plattan? Åtminstone jämnare än många av de andra. Intressant att George länge dissades av John och Paul men omfamnades av Bob Dylan. Skapligt namntung lista med medmusikanter.

at times undoubtedly genius, but just a little too long

Far and away the best Beatles solo album. George is my fav Beetle anyway so makes sense that he would release the best solo record too. It's a truly spiritual singer-songwriter album. Harrison's fascination with Hinduism is very clear and led him to write some fantastic introspective and philosophical songs. The album is just non-stop slappers. The production is phenomenal, sounds so large yet intimate at the same time. The first disc is really incredible. The 2nd one is mostly some jam sessions, it sounds pretty cool too and it's really crazy that he decided to include it on the record.

Perfect for a quiet evening at home

I guess he had a lot of pent-up music that needed releasing after the Beatles. Three records and not a dud of a song.

Álbum ótimo. Esses Beatles coitados não tiveram paz em vida. Vi que deram 40 facadas no George e ele ainda sobreviveu.

Ok honestly love this album but I have to remove 1 point for the length. It’s ridiculous. You know what the perfect way to follow up a 3 and a 5.5 minute instrumental solo is? With an 8 minute instrumental solo followed by an 11 minute instrumental solo all consecutively. Great. All Things Must Pass Quality Control. My Sweet Lord and If Not For You are ALL TIMERS.

This 2001 reissue is a weird collection but these are still mostly great songs.

This was good album that I enjoyed listening to. My initial thought when I saw that the lenght of the album was around 2 hours was "oh no not another dull and too long album" but while I was listening to the album it didn't feel too long. I really liked the jamming tracks at the end. I would rate this 3,5/5 and I round it up to 4.

very good

il primo disco è molto carino

Chill vibe I like listening to with out being depressed. Play in my bedroom on repeat. Would not mind if people heard me listen to this might look cool. Its long enough to not feel repetitive as well. Some songs are quite busy so I don't see my self relaxing or like reading to these so more of a cleaning room album.

Really cozy album. Feels like napping in the afternoon sun. In my opinion this is the only album from any Beatles' solo career that can really go toe to toe with the best albums of the Beatles era. Some filler, to be sure, but I Dig Love is probably the only actually bad song of the bunch, which is pretty impressive for such a long album.

In my humble opinion, the best album in the entire Beatles universe. It's really incredible, and even sad on the one hand, that so many good songs were in the back pocket during the Beatles' heyday. Of course, some of these songs were not even presented to be used as Beatles songs, because they were a subtle attack on an already fracturing situation (a proto-diss, if you will), such as "Wah Wah" and "Run Of The Mill", but most of the songs written in the era of 68 and 69 could've easily been included and would blow away a lot of the other Macca-Lennon songs, like the ones that were included did. I can certainly write a good paragraph about the history of the creation of this album, but for that you have plenty of other "wikipedia-lite" reviews, so I will only refer to what this album represents for me. One grandiose outpouring of emotions with a lot of different influences, but also with a lot of influence on future generations. It was particularly difficult for me to single out the best songs, all of them from the first two records are extremely strong. The entire sequence of the first 6 songs could rival any Beatles song, and the others vary between "the peak of another artist's career" and "simple songs that pleasantly fill in the gaps". This is how spiritual rock is performed without getting too into Jesus-loving water. The third disc is the jams, which were put there mainly for the reason that the buyer at the time would have a reason to pay a three LP value of a double album. They're not bad, but somehow they don't fit into the whole picture.

Album Excellent. Sincèrement, même en dehors de "My Sweet Lord" que tout le monde connait, l'album a une inventivité et un renouveau pour un membre des anciens Beatles assez fou. En premier, on peut dire que l'esprit très spirituel est particulièrement présent dans l'album et marque la patte de ce dernier autant que celle de Georges Harrison en général. On a donc un mélange entre le Folk et le Soft Rock, éléments conducteurs du projet, avec des aspects beaucoup plus exotiques et originaux, comme des cuivres extrêmement puissants sur "Let It Down" ou encore "Art Of Dying" mais aussi la wah qui revient à la fois sur ce morceau et sur "Wah-Wah". Enfin, il y a les parties de guitare slide qui ont rendus Harrison célèbre pour cette technique, utilisées sur "My Sweet Lord" ou "What Is Life". Tous ces éléments qui se confrontent viennent alors se fondre pour apporter une atmosphère beaucoup planante et spirituelle à l'album. De plus, s'ajoute à ça la technique guitaristique d'Harrison sur l'album qui est à ce moment là au top, à la fois en présentant des solos extrêmement longs et développés comme sur "Let It Down" ou "Plug Me In" mais aussi des parties de guitare acoustique, à la fois simple et efficace qui marchent très bien avec le grain de voix de George. Enfin, je trouve que l'album a été pour moi une très agréable découverte, en présentant un univers, certes imparfait (notamment au niveau du sequencing rendant certaines parties de l'album assez inadaptées à leurs positionnement comme l'intro qui aurait clairement put être mieux travaillé, ou même les morceaux de la version Deluxe, éparpillés à différents endroits du projet, rendant le tout assez flou). L'album reste néanmoins à mon sens un très bon projet, très soigné et contenant énormément de sons magnifiques.

Beautiful. I really respect George’s songwriting and this is a lovely album. Lots of great songs and a great atmosphere created overall. Tad bit long for my liking.

Honestly this shot from a 3 to a 4.5 while I was listening to it. I didn't finish it and genuinely wonder if it would have kept creeping up to a 5. Actually fantastic stuff

Genuinly a realy nice album. George is a master at the slide guitar creating some beautiful melodies which are the highlight of the album for me. I liked Behind That Locked Door, Let it Down, Art of Dying, and the last 5 or so really bluesy songs. When listening I couldn't help but hear snippets that sound like Pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac songs. I have to assume this album had some influence over those bands which I really like. This album is too long but the songs themselves make up for it.

i really liked the majority of this and will probs add some songs to my playlist. the problem is i can't remember what songs i liked because it took so long to listen to. also wtf is going on at the end? i really liked the art of dying. ithink i liked wah wah too but i don't really remember because it was a long time ago (this morning). there's so much idk what to rate it's not like I was riveted the whole time but it is pretty good? I think four is correct here

george harrison is a very talented songwriter and this album is great many of the songs off this album are on my regular rotation but i've never listened to the whole thing. it was all very good, if a bit long... the third disc "apple jam" (i.e. the final 5 songs) is completely instrumental, and honestly really good for the most part, but should probably been its own album - the album was long enough already and these songs have a different sound, much more blues than the rest of the album some of the songs sound like they could be beatles songs, but overall you can tell george has developed his own sound that diverges from the beatles favourite song: wah-wah

--I'd Have You Anytime...nice opener --My Sweet Lord..."He's So Fine". good track even if plagiarized --Wah-Wah...nice, full production. then they bring in the horns! good stuff --Isn't It a Pity (Version One)...very pretty Wall of Sound-style epic. justifies its length --What Is Life...easily could be a Beatles tune. John and Paul should’ve let George cook with this one (as the kids say) --If Not for You...written by Dylan sounds like Dylan --Behind That Locked Door...nothing special outside the slide guitar --Let It Down...Wall of Sound production is back in full. I like it way more on this LP than I do on Let it Be --Run of the Mill...bass and horns elevate and otherwise okay song --Beware of Darkness...for real, George --Apple Scruffs...fun guitar and harmonica track --Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)...very little to no rock in this one but does it "roll"? maybe a little. this one confuses me a little --Awaiting on You All...okay this one rocks and rolls --All Things Must Pass...like it more than "The Long and Winding Road" --I Dig Love...this would be a fun diversion if it were under three minutes. it's five --Art of Dying...this rips. really dig the discordant horns --Isn't It a Pity (Version Two)...meh --Hear Me Lord...more of a plea than the celebration that is "My Sweet Lord". perhaps not the earworm "...Sweet..." is but the lyrics are more interesting ***the (in)famous Apple Jam*** --Out of the Blue...meh --It's Johnny's Birthday...did John appreciate this? --Plug Me In...pretty straightforward blues jam. sometimes cliches are cliche for a reason. good times --I Remember Jeep...another straightforward jam but this doesn't hit as hard. the second half picks up a little. not sure the scifi sounds are necessary. but, hey, it's the go-go 70s! --Thanks for the Pepperoni...cool guitar stuff

Muy bueno, una vibra que se mantiene en casi todo el álbum

Awesome

4.5

Rock, folk rock.

"All Things Must Pass" was an ambitious project. A triple-album, perhaps the first famous one, it has a grandiose and heavy feel, in terms of both content and music. Harrison, freed from the Beatles, showcases his versatility in tracks ranging in feel and influences from the Indian inspired "My Sweet Lord", to the gentle dream pop precursor of "I'd Have You Anytime". Meanwhile, this album hearkens the development of his iconic slide guitar sound, and he is supported by all star backing musicians. While the album feels somewhat bloated in length, and some songs could use a trim e.g. isn't it a pity, this is still a great record, and is for me the best of the Beatles solo projects.

Forgot how much I like his guitar style

Wah Wah Wah …

Smooth, poppy, and fun—and a sort of redemption path for George. If that doesn’t get you to four stars, what will? Stipulated, though: The album is far too long.

Muy buen álbum, gran artista, muy clásico. Es largo así que todavía no pude terminarlo pero me gusta la vibra

me gusto mucho

This is pretty good. I feel like this carries weight independent of the Beatles collectively. He's clearly a good artist. Good folk feel.

I was impressed how many good songs were on this double album. I'm always skeptical of so many songs but this delivered. Hallelujah! Hare Krishna!

Let's start with the bad. This album is incredibly long. Some of the songs drag on and on with repeated choruses, and there is 25+ minutes of straight jamming at the end. These facts do not take away from the fact that this album contains banger after banger. It's hard to find a bad track on here. Even though parts of it are overlong and self-indulgent, this is a great record.

Took me a while to finally listen to this but loved it right off the bat.

Se parece un poco a los beatles. No es igual pero si tiene un aire, ese aire calmante sobretodo. It's nice

1970. Harrison's first solo work after the break-up of the Beatles. Introduced Harrison's signature slide guitar sound and reflected the spiritual themes present throughout much of his work.

Is the album bloated? Very. Is it British? Unequivocally. Does it clear every Beatles album on this list? ABSOLUTELY

Man the people who bought this on release got one hell of a bang for their buck huh? It's fine. Good and great sometimes, not something I'd go to but I wouldn't change the channel on any of these songs.

i enjoyed it, it was very long and i couldn't tell the difference between some song transitions but i enjoyed his solo work

sounds good.. better then my expectation...

Surprisingly good. One message from start to finish. Still trying to learn what it is.

Favourite Songs: Wah-Wah Let It Down Out Of The Blue

Great album and one of the most enjoyable from any members of the Beatles

9/10

Pretty good.

It’s big, maybe too big, but there’s something comforting about how sincere it all is. The best songs feel genuinely spiritual without being overbearing, even if the sprawl occasionally works against it.

I should knock off a star for Apple Jam, but won’t.

Love it. Knew a few of the songs, but definitely discovered some new favorites.

George Harrison, musicien british, part des Beatles (années 60-70) Grey mornings vibes, letting a chance for a ray of sun to reach you. Energisant, dynamique, sexy Approches des thèmes existentiels tel que l'amour, et celui qui nuit, la fatalité, la mort, les idées noires, l'inconstance de la vie, une touche d'espoir dans la fluctuation du mauvais, référence à la foi, à la Bible, a l'hindouisme Des thèmes lourds, avec de simples paroles, des mots accessibles et honnêtes. Musicalement délicieux, d'ailleurs à recommander bien plus pour la musique que la voix. fav track: out of the blue Instruments variés: basse, guitare électrique beaucoup trop sex, batterie, synthé, sonorités éléctroniques

Es bueno, pero no resonaba conmigo, solo what is life. Es bueno pero no es para mi.

Amazing

Very unique sounding

This felt so real today. Some parts that drag and are not my favourite, but by and large this is such a solid and powerful album. Useful messages and devotion. George is so sincere and I love him for it.

Oikein hyvä levy. Innosti kuuntelemaan muutakin Harrisonia. 4/5.

This album is an absolutely overlooked treasure. I know that it’s not completely unknown but it clearly never got the credit it deserved. In retrospect this album serves as template for modern indie rock songwriting and production. As someone who’s “favorite Beatle” has always oscillated between George and John, my love for George’s music was always heavily based in the songwriting choices and guitar orchestration. Both are on full display on this album, and while you can hear his signature style riffs, descending guitar lines and harmonies, this album has its own unique vibe.

Kendte god Hare Krishna sangen "My sweet lord" mest fordi det mantra er så så gospel som det snart kan være - Hindu gospel. - Resten af det ALT for lange album (inklusiv jam sesions) er også ret fint, men det var ikke Beatels godt.

heeeel lang ma perfect voor een tuinfeestje, ook echt wel een paar bangers tussen 4.5

I like the idea of this album more than the actual album, but it's still pretty good. And I like the Apple Jam part at the end.

First time listening for me. Recognized a song or two. Very good.

That was pretty good

Super lindo!

sí fue un flex del george hacer un disco doble (triple?) con tanto hitazo recién salido de los biruls, respec. me acordaba que mi queja era que estaba muy mid-tempo todo el tiempo, y sí un poquito pero hay más variedad entre canción y canción de la que recordaba. tal vez no sea mi favorito pero es innegable

Would be 5 stars if it wasn't so damn long

Disc 1 - I'd Have You Anytime - 5/5 My Sweet Lord - 4.5/5 Wah-Wah - 3.5/5 Isn't It A Pity - 4/5 What Is Life - 3.5/5 If Not For You - 3/5 Behind That Locked Door - 3/5 Let It Down - 4.5/5 Run Of The Mill - 4/5 I Live For You - 3/5 Beware Of Darkness - 1st Version Recorded At Abbey Road - 2.5/5 Let It Down - Original Guitar And Vocal - 3/5 What Is Life - Backing Track - 3/5 My Sweet Lord (2000) - 3/5 Disc 2 - Beware Of Darkness - 3/5 Apple Scruffs - 4/5 Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll) - 3/5 Awaiting On You All - 3/5 All Things Must Pass - 3.5/5 I Dig Love - 5/5 Art Of Dying - 4/5 Isn't It A Pity - Version Two - 3.5/5 Hear Me Lord - 4.5/5 It's Johnny's Birthday - 3/5 Plug Me In - 3/5 I Remember Jeep - 2.5/5 Thanks for the Pepperoni - 2.5/5 Out of the Blue - 2.5/5

Clearly some pretty masterful stuff here but a bit preachy at some points for me. Still George Harrison carried over his incredible work from The Beatles to a lengthy solo record. There are a few tracks that feel a bit like ripoffs of other songs and famous melodies, but disregarding those points this was still an amazing record. So many wonderful songs both peaceful and high-energy that bring a great contrast. The instrumentals at the end are less my thing but nonetheless impressive and fun to listen to. The first side is for sure the better half but I do think my favorite song here was Beware of Darkness with some very cool and stylish choices.

1/4 of The Beatles is actually better than The Beatles, most of the times. Including this one.

I liked it more than I thought I would, but god was I dreading this listen when I saw that the regular remastered version was over 2 hours and the deluxe was over FOUR hours. Hello?? Sir, enough.

first beatles or related album! didn't have time to finish the last section of instrumentals but it was all pretty good fav song: The Art of Dying

Very engaging and atmospheric. Wah Wah was my favorite, but there a lot of solid tracks. The length of the album was a bit much though. 7.2/10

Haven’t finished listening, but I do really like it and would listen again

surprisingly, I had not heard this album before unsurprisingly, it is very Beatle-y !

Really enjoyed this. Has 7-8 songs that could make it a 5, but like many double and triple albums has too many other songs that aren’t 5 worthy. Love all the different musicians that contributed.

Favorite Track: My Sweet World

4.49 stars. Not ticking to 5 based on the ending of album

Lots of music here. Fortunately, most of it is really damn good. Sounds great, compositions are solid, and the themes are thoughtful. George certainly has a heart, and it's on display here.

Classic music, i love have it as background while im busy

Une bonne surprise.

Great solo album. A little long Replay yes

If I would have stopped after disc 1, this would have been an easy 5-star album. But, like most double albums, it overstays its welcome. Not only does disc 2 make this album long in the teeth, it's mostly fairly generic blues rock riffs throughout. Disc 1 had me feeling this was a masterpiece (and I'll definitely return to it many times) whereas disc 2, although had some gems, can be mostly disregarded in my opinion.

I forgot how many masterpieces were on this but man is it long. Low/mid 4

Listened to the hits

Two listen sessions required to make it thru this 2 hour piece. Can't love every song but do love/like most titles. George was one genius musician. Is it indulgent? Of course, but I'm here for it. Apple Jam...that was a fruit too far. And it is true that All Things Must Pass.

Heckin' long, but nary a skip and a few bangers. I'd listen again (if I had time).

Really great, but its length betrays it. I don't enjoy the longer tracks nearer the end that are purely instrumental, it's not George's strength.

Proof that the Beatles were a sum of parts. Never confuse this with a Beatles album, a great album in a style it's own

It's hard to judge this album by it's relation to late Beatles albums. You're telling me Maxwell's Silver Hammer beat out some material George surely had on here by then? What were John and Paul smoking? Some tracks are a bit lengthy, yes, but George was just grooving! For myself, it's hard to judge 'Isn't it a Pity' after hearing the Nina Simone cover so many times. Favorite Track: Let it down

I honestly didn't get to focus on this much at all, but I liked what I heard! Of course, some of these sound very Beatles-esque, but there's definitely a development in the sound (especially on the second half).

Considering he was just dumping all the songs he had kicking around that The Beatles rejected, it's not the most succinct statement, or particularly structured/paced all that well. But the highs are so high, and even the other songs are really good listens, really demonstrating the songwriting range he had that he never got to with the band.

Ehkä se oma eniten suosikki george harrisonin soolotuotannosta. Monipuolisia biisejä ja makiaa kitarointia

Good album, just really long

Pretty good gave me old school country vibes

I liked this. A lot of bangers from George.

Very interesting chord transitions and melodies. Sometimes a little too much, but all in all quite interesting and some very lovely songs

На удивление много Битлз и мало хари Кришны

Fazia tempo que não ouvia Beatles, e nesse caso, um material tão completo do meu integrante favorito, George, me agradou muito. Só conhecia algumas faixas avulsas. Difícil escolher uma favorita que não seja "My Sweet Lord"... mas também gostei muito de "Thanks for the Pepperoni" e da primeira, "I'd Have You Anytime".

Is it just me or does George's guitar sound like modern indie-rock/jangle pop? It makes this album have even more of an introspective, "folklore" vibe that was part of his public image. I think both of these qualities have made "All Things Must Pass" one of those foundational indie influences. I personally love hearing the melodies, vocal harmonies, and chord changes, and there are some nice head-boppers in between the slower songs. I guess that's what happens when you're a Beatle, music is second nature to you. As for Apple Jam though, let's just pretend it's bonus Harrison DLC (4-4.5).

overall a really good album, the whole album made my ears feel blessed.

Good album. There’s a lot of good material here. I enjoy the overall sound. Definitely still has a Beatles influence, but also borrows influence from Bob Dylan and the Band, Clapton, and others. Notable tracks include I’d Have You Anytime, My Sweet Lord, Wah-Wah, Isn’t It A Pity, What Is Life, If Not For You, Let It Down, I Live For You, Awaiting On You All, All Things Must Pass, Hear Me Lord.

A classic. Can’t go wrong.

This was good. I knew a couple of the songs already, and liked it more than I expected to.

Interesting . . . . Yesterday I had to review Wings, and today its another Beatle Oh yes, this is much more where my ears want to be! I heard tell several of these songs were rejected by the Beatles - I'm a little surprised by that because this album is a quality collection!

87/100.

There are many good songs on this album. But there are so many “meh” songs too. There are just a lot of songs. Probably could split it into a 5/5 album and a 3/5 album.

Mag den Stil, aber wenige Songs die herausstechen.

Wish George was still alive and making great music like this.

A classic. Disc 1 is 10/10 no skips; Disc 2 is 7/10 for me, a bit meandering and some filler but still hitting the highs.

Favorite Post Beatles Project

Если песни хорошие, то можно и 2 часа, и альтернативные версии.

слишком длинный, но все равно приятный альбом. все, что накопилось и не издавалось при ленноне/маккартни.

Did George just sing „I love dick in the morning“ 🤔

At first glance this a double album that was 2 hours long but it good. George sounded good and then the last 4 songs of the 2nd album he showed his guitar skills which was cool

Sehr cooler vibe, stimme und instrumental passt endlich mal wieder
