Reviews (page 9 of 13)
This is full of great music but trying to get through a 2 hour album is a chore. It has great variety with the heavy and the soft, and it features wonderful songwriting. I could have given this 5 stars if I didn’t want to rip my hair at the length.
Was a little worried heading into this one with the overall length. I’m not a big Beatles fan but George may be my favourite of the bunch after this release. Specifically the third act of this album “Apple Jam” may have been what truly won me over. It just sounded like they were having fun. The first two sections of this album were great too but I’m more likely to return to the final bit of this one be. Nicely done George! 4 stars
Oh this is fun. Did George just become my favorite Beatle? Wild.
This album is crazy, it spans so many different sounds and it just goes on so long. It seems like George had a lot to say after The Beatles. I like it a lot and there are many songs that get stuck in your head. I'm not really sure why the long jam section is on there, but it actually sounds pretty good.
Really great songwriting and I love all the slide guitar. The doubled acoustic rhythm guitar is a really cool effect too. Maybe my favorite post-Beatles record
Glorious guitar.
AJ: An Al Taddei all-timer. “Never mind the wah-wah.” Cat: George noodles are the best and make any song great. The production is awesome, layering with horn and string synthesizer lines makes it sounds so full. Poetry. AJ: Too many songs! George got shot down by the Beatles so much he exploded when he left. Can hear his excitement in certain vocals. (What is life? chorus) Maybe not the best Beatle, but certainly my favorite.
Such a beautiful album, both lyrics wise and music wise. I love listening to this one properly, paying total attention to Harrison's singing, and let him take me to the places on his mind. All Things Must Pass packs a lot of fond memories for me.
Lots of hits. Very long.
Enjoyed this album more than I expected. Some songs dragged on a little but the guitar play makes up for that.
There is a 5 star album in there somewhere, but George with all due respect, everything you record doesn't have to go on the LP or in this case LPs. I had to go back and check and this originally came out as a triple album, seriously? The fat to trim off of this is easily identifiable. I don't claim to be a professional music producer, but no album needs 4 instrumental jams. Several all-time classics surrounded by a bunch of ideas not songs (I Dig Love), Calliope music (It's Johnny's Birthday, WTF?), and the aforementioned instrumentals.
There is probably a 5-star single album buried in here. Maybe even a 5-star double album. But someone should have pulled George aside and recommended leaving out a few tracks - perhaps all of disc #3. Otherwise there is some great stuff on here. And a fair amount of filler. The great stuff is great, so 4-stars. This is a really good solo album, but I think I prefer the George Harrison stuff from his more popular band - the Traveling Willburys.
Great album With very few misses. One glaring issue was how long the damn thing was and Spotify mixing in the back tracking for songs I had already heard. I had never never heard What is Life and wow what an amazing song. Had 5 star potential but duration, it’s johnnys birthday, and apple scruff held it back
Let’s start with legitimate gripes about the album. 1) the opening track is meh and doesn’t give the album the opening punch it could’ve delivered. It’s a Bob Dylan co-write and George putting it first was basically the 1970 version of posting a hot new girlfriend on Instagram to make your ex jealous. 2) there is plenty of filler on this album. Apple Scruffs, I Dig Love, …why a second version of Isn’t It a Pity? 3) the “Apple Jam” of instrumentals and Johnny’s Birthday are fine, but don’t add anything of substance. Now, onto the good. 1) some of these individual songs are not just among the best music a solo Beatle put out, but among some of the best music any of them wrote. What is Life, Wah-Wah, My Sweet Lord, and Isn’t It a Pity are up there with Lennon/McCartney songs. 2) Phil Spector is a much at producing music than trying to not kill his wife. Listening to Awaiting On You All sounds like you’re 100 ft down a tunnel listening on a maxed out PA system. People often play the classic game of trying to cut the White Album down to a single album (don’t be friends with these people, they don’t understand the White Album). However, this record could properly be chopped into a single record and it would be considered a top 25 album in rock history? Here’s my go at it: My Sweet Lord Wah Wah Isn’t It A Pity What is Life If Not For You Behind That Locked Door Let It Down Run of the Mill Beware of Darkness Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp Awaiting On You All Art of Dying All Things Must Pass
Plaat die maar door gaat, maar leuk & gevarieerd
Excellent quality across the very long album. Potentially the best post Beatles album, if it wasn't for being far from bitesize. I love Band On The Run, but even that is not as consistent as this. Excellent.
Started off brilliantly, but second half had some unnecessary instrumentals
Great Album!
8/10 enjoyable listen.
8/10. Good music. Was worried for a bit that I'd go 2 hours on a Bri'ish album without hearing any circus music, but then Johnny's birthday saved me. Annoying that the spotify tracks aren't in the original order, but whatever
Really good, just didn’t care much for the third album instrumentals. 8/10
My Sweet Lord and What Is Life make this album automatically a banger. The rest of the album is pretty good, but those two songs are just incredible.
Any album this length is going to have a few quality control issues, but at its best this is the best solo outing of any Beatle
Rating: 7/10 Best songs: My sweet lord, What is life
I'll take off half a star because it seems a little bloated -- but great stuff overall. 4.5
Classic album - always happy to revisit
Just Beatles enough to seem familiar, just George enough to feel like a fresh take? I feel like this album shows the side that he contributed to the Beatles in the best way. I don't necessarily seek this album out, but when I start listening I'm always glad I did. I think as I continue paying more attention to the lyrics and delving more into the album I'll continue to find new things.
Very good album
George Harrison is the best! What is Life is such an amazing song, and the whole album was more eclectic than I'd expected. There were a lot of backing tracks and remasters, but still giving a solid 4 stars.
Great feelgood vibes
Very pleasant listening for a rainy day like today! 4/5
Chill ///
A lush, resplendent suite of psychedelic outpourings that suggest the former Beatle was holding a good deal of creative energy back during the final years of the band. Each track bursts with creative energy as novel chord progressions are amplified by warbling, reverb-wrapped instrumentals. Add in vocals which sit well-balanced in the mix and straddle the perfect line between simple and meaningful, and you have an absolute sonic treat that spills, soars, and ensconces for close to two hours on end. The jam sessions are a fun if noncommittal bonus, a bit of gritty, grounded palate-cleanser guitar and drums that can serve as an optional epilogue without being required listening.
Probably my favorite solo Beatles album. The first 4 tracks start this off beautifully, and it hardly lets you down from there. I dig the Apple Jams side too. 8/10
The jam band stuff is pretty bad but the rest is great. Had only heard My Sweet Lord before, glad I've checked it out properly
very nice
Full disclosure: I've owned this album for years and I don't think I've actually listened to all 3 LP's, for sure not at the same time. To properly review this sprawling album set, I did listen to all of it and my immediate impression is that if it was a single album it would be hands down 5 stars. Even as a double album, it's loaded with good songs (a couple of his best) some filler and it's still a rewarding listen. The third album contains the longer jams, which is interesting, but in modern day releases, this would be the bonus tracks separate from the main album. As it is overall, this is Harrison's masterpiece, with world class musician friends as support and it's truly is an epic record, too bad it's a tad bit long.
Surprisingly good, I feel like George deserves a better reputation as a solo Beatle. Really not sure why he felt like he needed to keep the 20-minute instrumental jam session at the end of this already slightly overlong album though.
I think one of the "1001 Albums..." reviewers put it nicely: "All things must pass quality control". This could have been a real masterpiece with some more quality control, including removing some of the weakest songs. As it is, max four stars.
Album avec de très bons morceaux mais beaucoup trop long.
PREFS : My Sweet Lord, Wah-Wah, Isn't It a Pity (Version One), What is Life, Let It Down, Run of the Mill, Beware of Darkness, Apple Scruffs, Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll), Awaiting on You All, All Things Must Pass, I Dig Love, Art of Dying, Isn't It a Pity (Version Two) MOINS PREF : Plug Me In
This was a tough one. Mostly because George Harrison is a certifiable songwriting genius - one of the greatest that ever lived - and it should have been a slam dunk 5 stars. Should have been. But there's so much stuff unpacked here. Just... so much. It's too much. There are a ton of great tracks here. So many bangers that, had George been willing to cut even a third of the songs, it would be an unbelievable tour de force. But he couldn't let any of them go and so we're left with two hours of mostly great tracks. I can't give it a 5 star review. But I can't stand to give it anything short of 4 stars.
i love love love him
Easily as good, or better, than anything John or Paul did in their solo careers. Damn shame George's talent was subjugated, if not downright ignored, with the Beatles.
Classic
vrij vriendelijke rock, best priem
Vibes are immaculate, but this album is TOO LONG, GEORGE.
What a lovely George album. It is so George and George is so lovely love love love
4.0 - It feels like hanging out with a favorite uncle. He smiles at you from his chair, telling stories of his youth, giving subtle whiffs of his devilish past. But he’s mellowed over time into a loving older man. You’re happy to bask in his comforting presence for a little while but soon wonder what your cousins are up to. He asks for a hug before you leave.
What a great album. If there was any doubt that the “quiet Beatle” was the best songwriter, listen to this record.
Great album with some stand out songs. I don’t think it’s slightly on the long side though, cut it back to a single album for five stars
I'd heard of this album but was surprised to read about how much more successful it was than the other Beatles' solo efforts. Interesting. As a lad, hearing My Sweet Lord almost made me want to become religious. It still kinda does to be honest. There are a few other great songs in that same lovely vein (maybe not quite as divine), and a couple of fun rockers for good measure. Yup, I'm getting good vibes from this one. 3.5 / 4
Didnt listen fully to it. What I heard I really liked
Mahtava albumi.
4.5
Probablement le meilleur projet "Beatles related" que j'ai entendu à date. Seulement quelques chansons étaient un peu moins wow, mais elles restaient bonne pareil. Très bon album
It’s very good and great in places. Lacks cohesion though, and there is some definite filler in the very sprawling mix. There’s a real masterpiece somewhere in a more tightly edited album.
Meget bra, beware of darkness er veldig fin! (Litt mye hare krishna innimellom)
George Harrison has such a happy loving feel to his music. I realised that most of my favourite Beatles songs hold his influence. It’s has “my sweet lord” which is one of my favourites. It ends with some awesome blues tracks. Really enjoyed it :)
That hippie's pretty good.
I knew more songs that I thought I would, and I love George’s voice. Some songs weren’t for me, but I enjoyed listening overall!
I’m feeling optimistic today and I’ll have that rub off on my thoughts of this. album. I was not expecting a good album, I’m not sure why- but this took me by surprise in a good way. I would definitely listen to this again and be happy.
I'm not entirely sure why this album didn't connect with me when I was younger. There are no songs that are worse than average and the best are truly excellent. Lennon/McCartney definitely edged out a great songwriter and it really would have been nice to perhaps have heard many of these songs as Beatles songs, accompanied by their musicianship and backing vocals. Having said that there's a sameness that takes over and perhaps I was more picky about that in previous years - I do wonder if there was some inherent bias by my expecting or wanting to hear J/P/R sing a bit after listening to so much George over and over. Although that's not fair - this is his damn album. Still, it's kind of impossible to separate each of the Beatles' solo work from their former group. Unfair for sure but how can you not. e.g. there's not as much edginess with George's solo material and as a result if it's missing anything it's a bit of that old mystique. I'm a little harsh tho as aside from the great classic hits a song like "Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp" provides a bit of that and almost sounds like a precursor to Peter Gabriel+Genesis. "Art of Dying" is another hidden gem. I will say that it's too long, although understandable since he was apparently yearning to break out and write his own material. At any rate blah blah it really is an excellent album overall and worthy of classic status. 8/10 4 stars
Jättebra platta men varför gör de dem så jävla långa?
good album, enjoyed the Beatle-esque sound!
Pretty good
Good but could have lost a good few tracks. Some of them you’re like “Lennon and McCartney were cunts not letting him put this on” and others you’re like “yeah they had a point fuck this”
Great start. Got a bit odd at the end.
Liked the Jams at the end
Apprezzo più grinta nella musica ma non posso mettere meno di 4 a George Harrison per la sua chitarra e la sua voce.
4.5
Bastante bueno para ser el primero, chill y relajante, me gusta para un viaje en carretera 25|11|22
p212. 1970. 4 stars How to emerge from the long shadow of The Beatles in style. Far too long - does anyone really need a triple album? - and a lot of the third disc is pure instrumental filler. When it's good, its very good indeed - with judicious editing this would have been a 5 star single (maybe even a double) album.
Me gusta este disco, tiene unas canciones esenciales, aunque un poco largo.
El beatle introvertit destapant el seu bagul de temes amagats després de la separació de la banda. Història coneguda. Com també és reconegut el seu nivell d'inspiració, espiritualitat i màgia compositiva en la majoria de temes. Passa per ser un dels 3 ó 4 millors discos editats per un exBeatle, de forma merescuda. Un disc triple on pràcticament no hi ha cançó que no sigui excel.lent. El separa de les 5* un tercer disc de jams i improvisacions que, tot i ser més interessant del que podria semblar a priori, baixa el nivell general de l'obra
I guess the normal album is pretty good, the remastered is a bit long and with tons of useless songs tho
Too long.
Really liked it
En fjärdedel av Beatles kan ju inte vara dåligt.
I've been getting a lot of records lately that I couldn't possibly be biased on. This is one of my dad's favorites, so much so that I have quite a few memories of listening to this in the car when the remaster came out. It's a solid record, very spiritual, with a huge cast of fantastic backing musicians. "Epic" is probably a strong word but it's what I'd use to describe the scope. Maybe somewhere on the same level as "Pet Sounds", just not as well remembered. Could it have done with some trimming? Sure. But man, it's a solid record even without that. Favorite tracks: "All Things Must Pass", "Wah-Wah", "My Sweet Lord", "I Dig Love"
This was recommended to me by an acquaintance a while back, and I only got to it relatively recently for the first time. On second listen, much of the middle recedes, even under the modern mixing regime. But when Isn't It A Pity arrives a second time, dark and wobbly below Harrison's voice, the record has me again. The last disc even works as a kind of explosion of the material just heard. Wonderful pop just on the right side of "out there".
4.5 stars. A great solo debut by my favorite Beatle
Fantastic of course.
3.5 maybe, I like it better than a lot of the beatles
Favorite Songs: I'd Have you Anytime, My Sweet Lord Did not know that George Harrison was the lead guitarist for the Beatles. I can hear some inspiration from it.
I want to give it 5 stars. It's mostly a hugely enjoyable album, filled with genuinely great tracks. I can't quite give it 5 stars just due to how long it is, plus the awful track reordering in the remastered versions.
Nice album, very slow, little bit cheesy
The little ode to Johnny B Goode on "Thanks for the Pepperoni" was a nice surprise.
listened to again possibly Harrison's greatest work
Some really fantastic songs on this album
good album
Prachtige nummers staan er op dit album! Harrison trekt zijn enorme groei als songwriter in de laatste Beatles-jaren lekker door op deze plaat. Staan wel teveel vullers op, en had hij er voorgekozen om er 1 album van te maken dan was het denk ik nog veel sterker.
‘What is life’ is een van mijn favoriete nummers ooit. Mooie plaat, wel een beetje lang :)
A triple album? How am I supposed to keep up with this pace with 2hrs of music to get through?! Just kidding, though I am subtracting a star for the inclusion of the long jam-my tracks at the end. And I’m adding a star for being directly responsible for the formation of Derek and the Dominoes. That’s a rule of cool. Summary? 4 stars. Some really dense musical bits in this and you can see how Harrison simply wanted to show that he wasn’t “the 3rd Beatle”. Also, I love the dig at the Beatles with the album cover photograph.
There are some songs I really enjoy on this album, but also some that can be a bit dreary, and some is a bit dated for my age. Overall a classic album with plenty of foot tapping tunes, style changes making it a bit of a journey.
This was my first one, so I guess it was a strong start. I get it. I really have a historical appreciation for all of the Hare Krishna stuff that this is packed with now that I've heard it in its entirety.
Did not know he was in the Beatles, felt culty
Sí es un gran disco aunque soy el más fan. I'd Have You Anytime, Wah-Wah, What Is Life son las que más me gustaron. Me tardé como dos o tres vueltas en darme cuenta cuál era mi problema y es su voz. Por extraño que se lea, me provoca sensación de estar atrapado, no sé explicarlo de otra forma. Entiendo que no es el fuerte y no debería importarme pero siento que nunca explota realmente, o al menos la mayor parte del tiempo, lo cual evita que lo disfrute a plenitud.
Wonderful listen, not a single song skipped. Great features from Clapton, Billy Preston and more. Really enjoyed listening to the whole thing front to back.
Great album that I have 2 relatively small issues with that are tied together. First is that the jam session at the end of this triple album is alright but nothing overall spectacular. And the second is the fact that it's a triple album and it's absolutely too long. There are some truly amazing songs here but I don't think I'm going to come back to this record frequently purely because of its length.
Pleasant to listen, will definitely revisit. While the songs work very well and at no point was I bored I am not sure it works well as an album composition though.
Liked it, Saylor said it is sleepy music..
Enjoyed this album. I do prefer my Beatles together but still enjoyable, except one song, It's Johnny's Birthday, I think that song is going to haunt my dreams.
This album is an absolute masterclass. I didn’t know I was a big George Harrison fan until today. Any album that has this much material is bound to have filler and it did but there’s so much to like here. No album should be 2 hours long though. That’s absurd.
Pleasantly there
George was writing most of these songs through the years as a Beatle, but they weren't up to the "quality" of the Lennon/McCartney songwriting duo to be Beatle songs. And for the most part, John and Paul were right. There are some all-time great songs in the 2 hours of tracks here, but the album as a whole is not the best. It's as if George couldn't make up his mind on what to include. That being said, Beware of Darkness is one of my most favorite songs and that alone makes this album a 4/5 for me. Be patient with this one, it will reward you by Side Three.
Interesting mix of happy-go-lucky and faster rock. Definitely a go to style of mine
Superb.
3.9
WAY too long
Huh tää oli kyl Via Dolorosa loppua kohden. Ihan kivaa että heillä oli kivaa soittaa. En vaan oo ehkä oikea kuuntelija tälle. Tuntuu, että tästä tosiaan olisi riittänyt useampaankin albumiin matskut. Vähän on nyt väsy.
Tää oli parhaimmillaan niin hyvä että piti laittaa pauselle, mut sit huonoimmillaan tosi kädenlämpönen. Jos tää ois yks levyllinen musaa niin vähintään nelonen, mut tämmösenään vähän too much. Bluesin toinen aalto kuulu vähän turhan vahvasti taas levyn lopussa( Da Capo flashback), mikä niissä jameissa on tuntunu niin mahtavalta että on pitäny paisuttaa valmista levyä? 🥲
Ehhhh… Tää levy kärsi nyt kyllä kovasti tässä formaatissa. Hyviä biisejä - ihan älytöntä et Harrison ei ees mahtunu Beatlesin kärkikirjottajiin 😳 Ja I Dig Love kyllä riemastutti 😍 Mutta voi tsiiiisus tää oli pitkä. Lopun instrumentaalit oli varmaan ihan ok kampetta mut kun oli jo puoltoista levyllistä paahdettu pohjalle ni ei 9000 minuuttia pitkät soittokarkelot enää lähteny. Ei sitten millään. Olin alussa jopa kolmen ja neljän rajalla, mut loppuun mennessä ois tehny melkeen mieli rangaistukseksi tiputtaa kahteen 🙃 Mutta koska I Love Dig niin käyköön armo oikeudessa 😇
Odotin mielenkiinnolla et millainen tästä tulee, mulla ei oo ollenkaan käsitystä Harrisonista itsenäisenä muusikkona. Mut My Sweet Lordhan oli tuttu ja pidetty kappale! Eka levy on kelepo folkkia mut toinen menee jo ylipitkän renkuttelun puolelle, meh. Kai se on silti kolmosensa ansainnut.
So many good songs on this album! But, as a whole, it has a hard time keeping my attention all the way through.
This is George Harrison's 3rd solo album released in 1970 and is double album with additional bonus songs of live jams. The album is produced (over produced at times?) by Phil Spector and has a LOT of known musicians on it. I like George Harrison as a song writer and his slide guitar is great. There are a lot good songs here, both known and less so. I understandably hear Lennon and McCartney at times. While this album is good I feel it would have a been a very good single album. There are duplicate versions of the same song and other that were included were so so. I can't unhear that the final version of Let it Down has the same riff as My Sweet Lord. The other version is better.
a familiar sound, heard some of the songs before. Pleasant enough in the background.
The first couple times through this nothing really stuck with me. However, a few songs are starting to grow on me with more listens. Overall, this is solid, but I’m just not sure it’s enough to give a 4. Gonna give it a 3 for now and will come back and change if it grows on me more.
Its pretty good, not exactly my taste but still good. 5/10.
It was good but frankly it was just too long. What’s the point of a double album? Just release them as 2 albums, almost 2 hours is just a little too long for me
It it a very crazy album, a lot is happening. Not sure if it is for me tho, I enjoy the first listening tho 3/5
Better than any Beatles I've heard!
I was fearful when I saw the 2 hour run time. Still too long for the average listen but I will say I did enjoy what I heard.
3/5
Too much hallelujahs in those 2h 5m
Interesting use of words
Another victim of the 5 point rating system! This is a 6.9 out of 10. A 3.4 out of 5. Sigh...guess it gets a 3.
Honestly better than I was expecting, I enjoyed the songs that I hadn't heard and hated the ones that everyone has heard. Kinda groovy at times, a little cringe at others. I wouldn't want to die if my parents or their friends really wanted to put it on
Ho ascoltato questo album per la prima volta e solo una volta oggi. C'è una grande parte strumentale che manca nelle canzoni che ascolto normalmente e che ho apprezzato molto. Dovrei però ascoltarlo più volte per poter dare una valutazione più completa.
This album didn’t really click with me. Songs were fine but album was way too much of the same thing and it felt like 10 hours.
Better than I thought it would be, but maybe a bit too padded
This album feels so long. I haven't really listened to a lot of the beatles solo projects so I don't know if this is typical for george , but it just felt very safe. There are some interesting ideas present , but doesn't offer much new musically. It's very mellow for the majority of the album , it does pick up for a point , but then goes back to that tone for the rest of the album. Nothing particularly stand out , but nothing , particularly that bad. Fav Track: Let It Down
Ok I guess, some songs I liked, some I found to be boring.
From what I’ve read recently, it sounds like it was a good thing the Beatles broke up. They weren’t really getting along. This album was enjoyable.
Way better than expected!
it was a good listen at first, but then it just kept going…. i thought i was good and happy and everything was great and then i saw that there were 10 more tracks. and the last one was 11 minutes long? Help. maybe i’m just impatient but this wouldve been rated higher for me if it wasn’t TWO HOURS long. my god bro. also the johnny birthday one pissed me off
Not my specific taste in music but I’m no stranger to it but some songs weren’t for me but the songs I did like were really good they had a nice feel to them like isn’t it a pity I love the instrumentals that’s my favorite song on the album, the album is very long I did not listen to disc 2 so this was only for the first side.
My love hate for the 2 hour album continues. The first half was much better than the second and contained all of the catchy songs. Overall it was just ok. I was disappointed he never took out the citar for any songs. That was one of the best parts of The Beatles catalog and George was a pro.
An ok soft album from a singer with a great voice. I had heard one song from the album before and that one was the stand out best song to me. The other songs weren't bad but they were also really forgettable and I can't really remember any of them writing this right after listening through the album.
Alright George, I'll give you one album. This was a pleasant listen. I might even get around to the second disc in time. There's a lot to like, but I haven't fallen in love at first listen.
Lovely chords and melodies, with a very country/hippie vibe. Excellent work, but I didn't need two discs of this.
my SWEET LORD
Bro, 2 hours of former Beatles member George Harrison? Okay I'll be back when I'm done. --- Wow what a long album. The standouts are obviously the album's title track and "My Sweet Lord" which you've probably heard on the radio at some point. It's not a bad album by any means but it was a commitment to stay invested for the full two hours. I definitely dozed off through half the songs or they faded into the background while I worked. I think if I listened through it again I could point out songs and moments that I liked but as it stands, that's 2 hours of music and I will need a recovery period before revisiting this one. 6/10
Good album, just carries on a bit longer than I feel like it should
I love and own My Sweet Lord. That was the only song I knew on this two hour long album. There was nothing wrong with the album except for the length. I love George Harrison's voice. He wrote a lot of my favorite Beatles' songs, but nothing aside from My Sweet Lord stood out to me on this album.
6/10 - Not a fair rating but I wanted to rate. Only listened to half the album cause of a 11 hour shift and the album being 2 hours long. I recognise some of the songs, and whilst I'm not a particularly big fan, I see the merit behind them.
Listen, the songs I heard were great, but I'm not listening to the whole thing.
A bit too long, but definitely some great tracks. Being stuck behind two musical genius' must have been stifling and this seems like a real cathartic album.
kommer lidt bag på mig, hvor meget jeg faktisk synes om det her album, for jeg er ikke specielt begejstret for Beatles, så havde ikke forventet at det var noget for mig. Men jeg er virkelig positivt overrasket. Det er endda lige ved at han slipper afsted med at bruge slide-guitar. Lige ved. Forstår ikke helt kritikken af disk 2, for jeg synes næsten det fungerer bedre på nogle områder. I sidste ende er det dog ikke det hele jeg er lige vild med - og det er nok også meget forlangt med den spilletid - så kommer ikke højere end 3, også selvom der faktisk var tre numre der røg på favoritlisten på spotify
6/10
Side 1 : Nice !! Wah Wah un peu brouillon cependant Side 2 : Très cool aussi, un poil moins convaincants et moins surprenant Side 3 : Un peu en dessous Side 4 : Nice, malgré la longueur c’est good Side 5 : s’ouvre sur un long out of the blue, électrique très cool. L’album s’electrife clairement!! Side 6 : L’évolution de l’album est folle mdrrr Album long, mais agréable et super évolutif 3.5+/5
An absolute beast of an album, clocking in at 2 hours and 5 minutes (at least the edition I listened to). It's just too long. There are some great songs here but there needs to be some editing down. It's pretty standard ex-Beatle hippy-dippy stuff l, but Harrison shows a pretty good range of sounds across the album while staying in his lane. Notable songs on this listen were "My Sweet Lord" "Wah-Wah" "Awaiting On You All" and "Art of Dying." 3/5. It was fine. Way too long.
its nice and I enjoy listening but nothing really stands out beside my sweet lord
Disc 1 was pretty boring, but thank god things picked up a lot on Disc 2 with more up-tempo tracks like Art of Dying. Overall I had a positive experience with this album.
This is was not bad. Better than expected. Not exactly groundbreaking though
I hate these extended albums that Spotify gives you, it makes it hard to judge the album as the artist intended and how this list was built. Whenever I see Disc 1/Disc 2 on Spotify I check Wikipedia for the original album track listing and create a playlist to match it. Maybe that's too much work but here we are Even with cutting it down this is still pretty bloated. There's about 10 very good tracks that would make an excellent album on their own. There's only one perfect double album and it's The Wall, every other one is half filler. I said what I said. 3 stars
I think that for a general album release, a non-anniversary edition or special edition, this is just fundamentally too long. It's hard to listen to from start to finish without either losing interest or concentration. There were some songs that I really enjoyed, which pulled me back in, but due to the sheer length of the album, it ruins it for me. I think that if this were maybe two separate albums, my opinion would be quite different. For a top-to-bottom listen, this is just not it. I've never really properly listened to The Beatles before, so I don't have that same love for this as The Beatles fans, but I can appreciate the well-written tracks. Favourites: I Dig Love My Sweet Lord Beware of Darkness
3.5 Some really great songs here but not almost 2 hours worth of them. Having two versions of the same song is a bit self-indulgent, the 35 mins of jams at the end even more so. Maybe George needed Lennon and McCartney in a way.
I am sure that there is a masterpiece album buried somewhere here. It just kept going and going. I read a bit about the history of the album and how it's widely considered the best solo album released by a Beatle. It is in a dire need of trimming but there are some good tunes. I wasn't a huge fan of the folk elements. Even though I can't classify it as a psychedelic record, there are some elements that shined through. The lyrics were good as well I would love to go back and try to explore it again. It was just too much to take in during one sitting. I even took some breaks. The mellow sound was a highlight as well. I really enjoyed the modern production. I liked "I'd Have You Anytime", "Beware of Darkness" and "All Things Must Pass".
Hmmmm not bad
album #80 i'll give a proper review later. it's long, huh! ꩜ album rating: ★★★☆☆ ꩜ number of albums left to review: 1,009 ꩜ number of albums from the list that i agree with being on the list: 38 ꩜ albums from the list that I would consider on my list: 16 ꩜ albums from the list I won't include on my list: 64
Would've definitely been a 2 if I listened to the whole album; a lot of junk on here. My Sweet Lord, What is Life and If Not For You were good songs tho
3/5 Favorite Song: Isn't It a Pity
Me gustó mucho. Muy parecido a The Beatles
i kinda dont care for the beatles sryyyyy
El primer disco es bueno, el segundo podria haberme ido sin oírlo, solo las dos últimas pistas del segundo disco me gustaron, es un album muy tranquilo incluso llegando en partes a ser aburrido
Just listened to disc one and it is a solid three.
I found this album to really embody that whole 70s feeling. The “Hopelessly in Love with the girl”, “Fight the man”, “Peace, Love and Happiness” vibe. I will say that I just so happened to listen to the remastered version. So initially I thought “Wow this is more like one big interconnected song than an album” but soon realized I was just listening to the same song over and over again, just remastered. Overall it was a peaceful and chill listen, that won’t challenge or overwhelm you too much or at all. While listening you come to learn what to expect throughout the songs which was both calming and slightly boring.
pretty good record but damn, this is a little too long
i was a beatles fan once.
Sooo long, 2 hours and even good stuff starts to blur together
Too long George, way too long.
Yeah, some classics in there. Mostly background music
Rv
An album with a front half that is much better than the second half (almost like it shouldn't be an almost 2 hour album). Regardless, I want to give this album some more spins.
I'd go higher on the rating but it's much too long - nearly 2 hours on the official release! Although there's some wonderful songs in that 2 hours, there's something to be said for brevity and part of the artform is getting an album down to a suitable length.
The Good: We are presented with philosophy! The Bad: I try to understand philosophy, but I simply Kant! The Ugly: Spoiler alert!!! A triple fucking album… I think I was 10 years old when I heard my first Beatles song, I think… I know that I was 13 when I got my first Beatles album… I don’t know what age I was when I realized that George Harrison was his name… You’d think that, within a band, most people are like-minded. They enjoy the same foods, same drinks, same drugs-not judging here… Yet, we’ve all seen the Beatles documentaries where it is evident that John Paul George Ringo were not 1 person. Anyway, just like the John Lennon album I had to listen to where he is screaming about his childhood frustrations, here we are dealt with George’s frustrations about his music not being taken deemed appropriate for the Beatles records… Hallelujah, Krishna Kirshna, Hare Hare… we’ve all heard it a thousand times before, and we will hear it a thousand times more… and each time, we think the same thing: too fucking long. Had this been reduced to a single album, with all the lovely songs, some shortened a little, this would have been a 4* easy… Now, all things must pass… 2 1/2* upgraded, but barely
One of my main complaints with a lot of movies is that they need to earn their length, and I'd say the same about albums
Would have been a 4 but I didn't like either version of my favorite song by Harrison, "'My Sweet Lord."
Enjoyed the first album. Nice enough. Long. Haven't yet made it to the second one.
Maybe a bit long-winded but not boring or obnoxious Highlights: "Wah-Wah", "I Live For You", "Ballad Of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)"
Lieber John oder Ringo
Its ok
I fell asleep each of the two times I was listening to this so idk.
Some great George songs.
Good grief George, you could have released two or three albums here. This falls just short of my criteria for a four, although if I selected what I like best to make one album it would be a four, easy. As it is, 3.33 rounded down. 3.
Blah
Nice and inoffensive I guess, just a bit boring really. Background listening
Really thought I wouldn't like this but the first half of the album surprised me. Then it went on, and on and on and on and on and...
A fine folksy rock album from George Harrison. But good God. Does it really have to be 2 hours long?
this could’ve been an email first many songs are killer, obviously.
28 songs Added to liked: -My Sweet Lord (already there) -Isn't it a Pity -What Is Life
This album went on so long I almost died WHILE listening to it. Apparently George stockpiled a ton of music the Beatles never wanted to use and couldn’t wait to just dump them all onto one album. It was fine, but I wouldn’t go back to listen again.
Quite the variety of songs on this album. Some albums are rock & roll through and through and others fall more securely into a ballad genre. Harrison is very talented as a musician and it’s clear he had similar help producing this powerful collection. You can hear the characteristics that Harrison brought to the Beatles in these songs and while this won’t become routine in my listening pleasure, I like taking this for a full spin.
There are some real highlights on here. Unfortunately, this is an album that suffers greatly from its length. There it too much to slog through to properly enjoy the good songs. Overall I enjoyed it, best of the Beatle solo efforts we've had on the list thus far.
A long fkin album with few good songs
Don’t have too much to say. A lot of quality in here, enjoyed it much more the second time. If George Harrison had the discipline to keep it to a single disk, I would be much more of a fan. I’m not sure if it just doesn’t inspire me or I hate double disk albums, but I’ll give it a 3+. Objectively probably better than that, just not to me.
George contributed some of the brightest highlights of the later Beatles albums and that genius is here, too. Sadly, so is a lot of filler, jams and alternate versions. Focused on a single disc this could have been the masterpiece that many consider it anyway, but this way it's all too much for me to take.
короче, завайбится очень даже можно. Скорее всего все добавленные треки скоро вылетят так как я их щас кручу и они уже поднадоедает. Но гитара ваще тупа топ, ниче не скажешь.
Alr, My Sweet Lord has some great chords and is really catchy. Ok hey wait what was Harrison up to religiously in the 70s? Christian and Hindu syncretism? Is "wah-wah" pussy? I can only assume so, unless it's also used to mean trying to keep clear of sadness (like crying). Was he a sex addict? A few genuinely christian songs, I really wonder what weird blend of religion Harrison was up to at this time. A few good instrumentals in here as well, but not necessarily something I would pull up and listen to. I genuinely wonder what it is that puts me off from just a recording of a guitar jam
Yeah, look, I like Harrison I think he was an amazing guitarist. It's probably better than most (yes, most) Beatles albums. However, it's a little on the dull side and still incredibly "Beatles". His vocals are on point, but aren't particularly gripping. Mediocre me thinks.
I don't need to do much research to know that this was George's big stepping out album. I'm sure that with the dissolution of the Beatles he'd felt free to make this thing the way he wanted. I wish he'd been a bit more selective though. Even without the bonus material, the album as a whole is a bit drawn out. Many of the songs sort of wear out their welcome. That's not to say this album is boring in it's entirety, but I was good and done with it around "I Dig Love". While everyone knows "My Sweet Lord" for fair reason, I think Harrison really finds his voice on "Isn't It A Pity". This kinda feels like his version of John Lennon's "Mind Games" in that they both dig deep and come up with incredible performances (both songs with similar tempos and compositions too). Ever the "spiritual" Beatle, there's lots of songs holding similar themes on this record: celebrating love, contemplating how human conflict could ever happen, a sprinkling of existentialism. "What Is Life" sounds like George had been holding this one in his pocket for at least 5 years based on its sound. It's upbeat with a harmonic vocal chorus about love. I could hear it being a Beatles song now. "Behind That Locked Door" was a life-saver for me, with a bit of a switchup in it's sonic choices. I think the slide guitar is PERFECT on this track. I wish for more variation like this, it all added to the humble, endearing nature I know George Harrison is tapped into when he's at his best. "Awaiting You All" felt like the only time Harrison really broke out of the wavelength he settled into, actually putting some strain on his vocal delivery. Once again, I'm left wishing for a bit more choices like this, even if I found this particular song to be a bit forgettable. As I said before, I was tapped out by this point in the record. It made the last three songs, which actually found that higher energy once more, seem like a slog. I can't find anything expressly *wrong* about this record, but only a few of it's obvious songs standout in the field of it's contemporaries. At it's best, it pairs grounded sentiments with easy-to-swallow music, and at it's worst it wore me down a bit. 3/5
Pretty basic, repeating and predictable pattern, getting boring after a while. Could be used as a fine background, but wouldn't listen to it on a daily basis. Similar to Layla, but without the legendary intro. I know a person that could listen to it.
nie przesluchalam calego, bo mnie nudził. znalam oczywiscie wczesniej ale tylko kilka piosenek. taka ok muzyka do sluchania w tle
Filmalbum denn ein Lied kannte ich. Ansonsten sehr gut gesugen und Instrumentalisiert
This is such a great album. Harrison had this all in mind for a lot of years and finally got to put everything on a record. Just about every song works, including some major hits off of this. 3.5
Mmm, I do not rly love Beatles and their solo albums too.
There are plenty of great songs on this album. It suffers from the perennial double album problem: too much filler. In my opinion double albums only work as concept or live albums. A studio album that’s presenting your current work? Edit that shit dog.
Pretty good
tbf peak ash
these chord progressions kick ass. blues so fun. wah wah tritone... guitar is very satisfying to listen to what are "apple scruffs"? "i love dig" me when i play minecraft highlights - art of dying. its not even close out of the blue was also fun
Nice simple melodies that resolve with complexity I did not expect. But ultimately just Beatles lite to me. I appreciate the spirit of My Sweet Lord but feels disingenuous use of “world religeons”. I appreciate the honest existential and introspective themes above love and life. Admittedly did not finish whole album.
Very enjoyable album
Alr quiet beetle i see you, I genuinely forgot you wrote my sweet lord gg so far this is just delightful and I love it My Sweet Lord What is life I dig love, I totally thought he was saying I love Dick wtfff LOL Art of Dying is groovy as fuck Pretty good, not bad, too long, but otherwise unremarkable other than some hits
Very listenable - 2 hours very long though - could have been condensed
Was too old timey sorta annoyed be at the third song, liked the first song a lot but that was it. I skipped the second, I think this album is good however my music taste doesn’t align with it yet
Det finns låtar som är värda mer...
There are some absolute bangers on this album, but just way too much filler. I have no idea why George decided to release a triple album, especially when he had done two versions of the same songs. It seems like over indulgence, but what would you expect from a former Beatle on his debut solo album. If he had cut this down to 40 minutes and chosen the tracks wisely, then I would have had this on my collection years ago. But it is just a sprawling mess, but a very tuneful and well written and performed one.
Certaines musiques je les connaissaient mais un peu lent et repetitif a la longue
såååå låångt
Some really good stuff in there but also a lot of nonsense. Most of the second disc could be binned off, although if you view them as just being bonus tracks then it's not so bad I guess. The mix is pretty poor too, especially on the second side
Too long.
Oh boy, a triple album🙄 Quantity isn’t better than quality. This album is fine. There are some really good songs on here but my score is diluted by the sheer amount of average music in between.
Re hippie
What an odd album. 50 minutes of absolutely 5/5 material, another 50 of filler finished off with 20 minutes of dull blues jamming. Had the potential to be perfect, but the bloat makes sure that I'll never listen to this again from start to finish. This is why producers exist.
No real notes. really really long album and was tired of it by the end
A lot of influence on 70s and 90s rock in this album. A couple of good tracks I'd never heard before. Not sure why the Apple Jam tracks are needed, and agree with others that did all this material need to be included? Maybe condensing to a single album would have made the album less rambling.
This album was long, at times samey, but overall pretty good. I think the instrumentation was by far the best thing here. "Wah-Wah: is aptly named. I love the very thumping bass with the brass and the wah pedal on the lead guitar. Choir vocals work better here for me than in "My Sweet Lord". Isn't it a Pity builds on itself as it goes, so while a slow start had me feeling a bit down on it I can't deny that I enjoyed the overall experience. Like most of the songs on the album it could've done with being snappier Art of Dying is pretty phenomenal, probably my favourite? not sure. Hard one to rate, it has a lot of tracks and they leaned generally towards good for me.
I'm sorry I cannot listen to a 2 hour long album it pisses me off
Some good tracks in there, but enough that I didn't connect with that I'm not going back to this album. Maybe the jam album.
Ta bien
Liked: Isn't It a Pity Added: Isn't It a Pity
Maybe a grower but in the time restrictions of this project, needed more quality control for me.
It’s not an all-timer, but I do think it goes to show that there was more to the Beatles than just Paul and John. The Beatles synergy was obvious, becoming greater than the sum of their parts. Peel off one player and he’s not quite 25% of the Beatles good, but he’s every bit as good as your average 70’s New age yahoo with a record deal and an acoustic guitar
A coupe of good songs but a pretty average album.
lo siento dos horas es demasiado para mis receptores de dopamina fritos por tiktok
aaa shit a mi juego me llamaron con este disco. Escencia pura noventera (aunque el disco es del '85) los samples de campanas y bombos claves de la época. El audio de las voces medias comprimidas como si sonaran por atrás o comprimidas, por momentos pareciera que están grabados sin antipop, es increíble registro histórico. Conozco run DMC pero nunca había escuchado un disco completo y posiblemente no reconozca ningún tema salvo Its tricky que es un clasicazo. Impactado realmente con el tema que tiene feat con Aerosmith, desconocia totalmente que existía esa colaboración y me parece increíble como quedan las guitarras y gritos con los samples y scratches jaja Las baterías de Perfection, que puto groove mas duro, realmente bueno. Im a funky fresh!! i wont to fail i wont to flop grand tema, con gran cierre de baterías Divertido también ese mini skit Son Of Blyford con beatbox Si bien es de mi agrado y el genero me gusta, creo que no es tan para mi por eso le puntuo 3 stars
j'ai bcp aimé, même si l'album est très long. il y a de très bonnes chansons 3.5/5
vibras chill, pero me gusta, es como para estudiar, esta bueno para empezar en el inglés, temas buenos, 7.50/10 porque no suelo escuchar inglés
sinto que o album todo facilmente estaria tocando no pendrive do meu pai em algumas das nossas viagens
5/10 Best songs: Wah-Wah, What Is Life, Let It Down, Art of Dying Why is this album over two hours long? Why is George Harrison singing "hare Krishna" in My Sweet Lord? The album has some absolute bangers - better than anything the Beatles ever released, sorry not sorry - but it is bloated with a lot of dreck and frankly mediocre songs. Some serious editing could have made this a good album, but what's here is just... not.
Bastante chill
lindo álbum disfrutable las dos discos del remaster pero no tuvo nada nuevo la verdad medio meh
eh, it's fine. I wouldn't re-listen on purpose but it was fine.
Good stuff
Old fashioned
Good but long. Double album
Sometimes artists benefit from a really good editor. This is much too long and there is way too much to wade through. The good stuff gets lost. Sometimes less is more.
Overcompensation, I think, is the word I’d go with. I pity George Harrison. I do. He did get kind of a raw deal at the tail end of the Beatle years. But he pities himself more, and that's his entire problem. This album feels like an accumulation of resentments. Every journal entry prompted by every petty slight from '67-'70, fleshed out into a track here; even on the ones that, on their faces, have nothing to do with inter-Beatle squabblings, you can almost hear him saying, with a considered smugness, "Take THAT, John-and-Paul. You thought this wasn't good enough for an album? You were WRONG about me." And sometimes they were. There are some great tracks on this album; we all know which ones. But sometimes they weren't. This album didn't need to be a triple album. But George, it seems, felt some deep need to have it all out there; to prove himself; to say everything he had to say about what he felt was his unfair treatment at the hands of the other Beatles for the whole world to hear. And then it turned out that, unless you want to count I've Got My Mind Set On You, he didn't have that much else to say, for most of the rest of his solo career. That's the tragedy of George, I guess. As far as I can tell he carried a Beatle-related bitterness with him all the way up until he died. Paul and Ringo seem to have made peace with the ugliness of the ending some time ago. Even John, supposedly, was at least a few serious steps into the process of mending his relationship with Paul when his life was cut unexpectedly short (though some of the most significant testimonial on this is of course coming from Paul, who seems to have undergone a surgery to weld a pair of rose-tinted lenses into his eye sockets, so, grain of salt). But George? Interview transcripts I’ve read from the people close to him seem to suggest that even at the end, things were strained. Clips I’ve seen from Anthology (which I ought to state in the interest of transparency that I’ve never sat down and watched in full) show him looking at Paul and even the camera like he's thinking about homicide; like, if he didn't need the money at that point in time, he'd have been anywhere else in the world. All of this, combined with the fact that his solo career was so rocky, combined with the fact that he died relatively young... it all gives me the impression of a life that was stunted, a potential that was never fully reached, because one way or another, he was never able to let the scab alone and move on. For all that he made it public knowledge that he didn't want to be defined by his Beatles legacy... well, is it really getting away from something if you let a powerful resentment of it live in your head for over thirty years? If the album in which you can't stop talking about it all is the only one most people remember you for, because that's the one you poured quite so much of your energy and talent into? TOO much, of your energy and talent. This album is way too long, even setting aside the Apple Jam. It’s also overproduced. We don’t even need to get into a Phil Spector discussion here except to say, well, you know. Layers and layers of tracks on tracks, because we can, because THIS will really knock them over, THIS will really show them, THIS will make them listen to me and realize I had as much to say as they did all along. Horns; reverb. In-your-face. My favorite song from this album is Run of the Mill. I don’t have the album version of that song on a single one of my playlists. The one that I keep coming back to is the demo: just George and his guitar; a beautiful melody, when it's not being overshadowed by the brass. Lyrics that really break your heart. It's you that decides, which way you will turn. I don't know if George ever really managed to commit to a decision to turn away from what being in the Beatles made him feel. For that matter, I don't think John and Paul were ever his worst enemies. I think he was always his own.
So far my favorite of the Beatles-adjacent albums. I don't think it needed to be two hours, though
It’s too long for a decent listen through, there are good songs in her but buried in amongst to much filler.
One of the better Beatles solo albums
This is #day593 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… I mean, I understand this is Harrison's first solo record after the band's breakup, but hell, a triple album, aka, two hours of music, is kind of overly self-indulgent. Standout songs are "My Sweet Lord," "Isn't It A Pity," and, of course, I'm disarmed before that sax in the epic psychedelic blues closer that "Out Of The Blue" is. Let it be a 3 out of 5. Looking forward to #day594.
pretty good but only had time for first song. very much my kinda vibe tho
Way slower than I like but I'm not here to just listen to what I like
Started strong, but I did not like wah wah. Some good songs, enjoyable listen through.
Meandering and far too long, but I'm going to be forgiving, as it's generally not awful. What IS awful is having more than one version of the same song for no good reason. I can see some of this is from listening to the 2001 remaster, so I suppose that's my fault for not listening to the (shorter) original version of this. I can imagine a really good album could be produced here by cutting two-thirds of the material. Three stars.
So long my headphones ran out of battery. I really fancy a pepperoni pizza now.
Kære George. Der var en grund til at du højest fik et par sange på jeres Beatles albums (4 på dobblet LPen). Så det var måske lidt meget at smide en triple-LP direkte efter Beatles-tiden. Jo jo der er da okay sange. Men der er også meget der burde være blevet i skuffen. Ikke fordi det er dårligt. Det er bare ligegyldigt.
I've always felt that, out of all 4 of The Beatles, George was the best songwriter and very under-appreciated. This is a great album, but it's just too long. I got bored after a while.
I think the best of the solo albums from the Beatles members. But damn why do I remember this being so much better than it is? Have my tastes changed that much since last listen? 🤷♂️
i don’t think the beatles are for me :( perfectly fine music, probably great depending on the situation, but i would not go relisten to it
No está mal honestly. Son dos horazas cosa que me parece fatal (no me lo he acabado me quedan 3/4) pero tiene algun que otro temazo, si hubiera hecho un album normal con las mejores canciones de aqui hubiera estado super top. me gusta el rollo psicodélico?kinda
Me gusto. Lindas armonías, Canciones tranquilas relajantes. Muy buen compositor y linda voz.
cool mais au moins d'un moment ça va bien hein
Love it, but third disc is useless.
Enjoyed the album but it was a little bloated with over 2 hours of content.
Heard this album many times over the years. Some of the songs are fantastic. Some are ok at best. It would have made a great single album and as a matter of fact me and many of my friends did a self edit when we recorded it onto cassette tape. Making it a single album or good songs.
All Things Must Pass - George Harrison: 3/5 * I dont understand the album cover * Pretty average, to hippee folk-y for me I think * Halfway thru disc 1 and they all sound the same. maybe these would be ok if used at the right time in a movie? * Backyard/recess notebook songs mainly. Town Troubadour type songs mainly. * I dont mind "Let It Down" * Guitar is ok, melodies are funky. * Disk 2. Maybe I'm in a Gilmore Girls episode, maybe I'm in a horror psychological thriller? * "Plug Me In" is the best so far. Literally just all epic guitar n stuff. * Disk 2 is significantly better than Disk 1. * "I Remember Jeep" Is groovy too. * Yeah, Pepperoni song too. * Last 4 songs are bangers
Ikke alt her e for mæ, men når det slappe så slappe det
I know it's been discussed ad nauseum, but there's just no conceivable way that an album this bloated could ever be a 5. I can't help but laugh at the reviews that are like, oh you can't judge this album on the apple jam, that was just a fun thing thrown in. Are you serious? It's part of the album, so it should be judged accordingly. The truth is, there are 4-5 good songs here. You could easily take this thing down to 10 songs and have yourself a very tight album. Instead we get - this.
What am I missing here? This album is too long filled with too long but decent folk/psych/pop songs that echo the Beatles but don't blow me away in any fashion. I'm sure some people heard this at a point in their life where it was like, "oh man this is the song I need right now" but without that, it's just some late 60s early 70s stuff that needs an editor. I guess it set the table a little bit? Probably a "you should hear this" for its place in history but if this is a masterpiece of a class, then it's just a class I don't care much for (overlong psych folk albums with jam sessions). There's probably, as there usually is for albums this sprawling, that I need to spend more time with it, but it's an album a day, it ain't happenin'.
Це досить добре, але не думаю, що я колись ще буду слухати це повністю. 3,5
Even ignoring the third disc, I didn’t get a lot out of this. I might be stupid or something, I don’t know.
Bit long George my guy but good job
I do love George Harrison, My Sweet Lord is in my top 5 Touch Tunes songs and I’m assuming the whole thing was decent but I didn’t have 2 hours for this yesterday.
George is not my favorite Beatle. And he was obviously sad and going through some things when he made this album. It’s also much more mellow than you’d expect.
En jaksanu ku ekan levyn kuunnella, mut täähän oli ihan hyvän tuulista lauleskelua. En pidä piitlesiä minään, mut tää oli positiivinen yllätys
Vaikka tästä nyt rajas pois Spotifyn extrat, niin kyl viesti tul hyvin selkeesti perille. Ex-beatle päästetyy matti/teppo -kaksikosta eroon, niin ruvennut tuuttamaan useemman PUOLEN verran tavarata. On siellä hyviäkin biisejä seassa, mut joo, tällaseen rojektiin vähän liikaa lautaselle. Iha Kiva.
This was a good listen. It was nice to have on, but it was kind of forgettable. I remember listening to it, I remember enjoying it, but I don't remember the details. It was also just too long. Cut this jawn in half and it could be a really nice record!
👎
Slower music done right. Any 5 star reviewers haven't listened to It's Johnny's Birthday.
Какая - то жуткая мешанина из всего подряд. It's Johny birthday - что это, и почему ему уготовано отдельное место на альбоме. Сократить бы альбом до крепких треков без Хари Кришны и получился бы хороший EP. А в целом вайб от тайминга - "я не договорила", но было и поунылее, поэтому 3
Я дослушал!!! Запрещаю на законодательном уровне тройные альбомы! Это что такое вообще… Ниже 3 рука поставить не поднимается, но очень хочется. В целом есть прикольные треки, но зачем так много!! И ещё не понял прикола делать несколько версий одного трека. Прочитал, что Пол и Джон был очень строги и много треков Джорджа забраковывали - а он возьми и выпусти их все в сольном альбоме. Что могу сказать - Пол и Джон всё делали правильно. Жду уже какой-нибудь альбом The Beatles в этом челлендже (вероятность очень высокая).
Tolle Lieder dabei. Tolle instrumentiert und alles. Aber zu viel.
⭐️ All Things Must Pass 7/10 El álbum en general me gustó. La parte instrumental está buena, me recuerda a The Dark Side Of The Moon. La armónica le baja puntos. No lo volvería a escuchar entero, pero sumaría un par de canciones a mi rotación.
Not a bad album. The second disc was more of a jam session but a good listen.
*1970. *2 disc album - 2 hrs, 5 mins... This is the remastered version, but it looks like the original album was still long (like 1 hr, 40 mins). *My Sweet Lord is the only song I know. And I think I recognize What is Life? *Very pleasant, soft, sweet. Great background music. *This is a LOT of George Harrison - couldn't make it all the way through without skips. RATING - 6.5/10
Some good songs on here but just to much. 3 stars
I listened to the 50th anniversary edition for this. Harrison's voice is on the verge of being annoying for me but not quite. The instrumentals are generally pleasant, but not good enough to carry a track by themselves i.e. Disc 3 which was almost all instrumentals was the weakest part of the album. I liked the track "Hear Me Lord".
Aja esta bueno
Ikke dårlig, men fikk ikke så mye ut av den.
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.
Jeff: Just okay, same old same old. Simran: Good enough to add 2 songs into her mega playlist
Levyllä oli muutama aiemmin kuulemani biisi. Ihan ok levy, mutta tuskin jää hirveästi pyörimään omaan soittimeen.
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.
:l
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 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.
