Abbey Road
by The Beatles

The fact that this album was even made, knowing how much friction was going on in the band, is nothing short of outstanding! Paul McCartney has limitless creativity and pop sensibility. Though I believe that Maxwell’s Silver Hammer is a weak point on the album, he redeemed himself with the medley of songs at the close of the album. Also, as a big George fan, this album shows probably his highest watermark in both Something and in Here Comes The Sun. Ringo has a good track and John’s contributions are also incredibly strong with some prog rock influences. The production and instrumentation throughout the album might be the band’s apex during their run as a group. It doesn’t get much better than this, folks. (Edited)

I love The Beatles. This is good with some of their best songs on it, but I don't understand how this is heralded as their best album. They've so many other albums that fuck all over this. Good album, just massively over rated. (Edited)

Quite a poor album full of B side songs from Lennon and McCartney. The best songs by far are by George Harrison with Here Comes The Sun, and Something. If you take this album in isolation you would declare that he was the major songwriter of the band. The rest of the album has very quirky songs. One or two of them are decent but on the whole a disappointing album. This is one of their worst albums imo. (Edited)

Masterpiece from one the greatest Rock bands ever.
Abbey Road is the final proof that, even in the midst of chaos, the magic of these four geniuses was unstoppable.
It's not just a collection of songs; it's an epic musical journey, a tapestry of fragments that come together seamlessly, creating a bittersweet farewell that still makes your skin crawl.
It wasn't the ending we wanted, but it was a perfect ending. (Edited)

in my opinion this is the greatest album ever made
it is jam packed with great tunes. every song on the
album is a winner. george harrison steals the show
by writing the 2 best songs on it. (Edited)

Shortlisted for the album of the year at the 1970 Grammys. The eventual winner was the self titled album by Blood, Sweat & Tears (Edited)

What else needs to be said about this album that hasn't been said? Every song on side 1 is amazing on their own, as well as every song on side 2 flowing perfectly together into one of the greatest, if not the greatest medleys ever written. Abbey Road is something you can never get tired of, and is the closest thing I've heard to a perfect album. (Edited)

This album contains some of the best, Come Together & I Want You, and some of the worst, octopus’ garden and maxwells silver hammer, of the Beatles.

Rather a mixed bag and not the Beatles best album I’m afraid. Decent enough listen though (Edited)
