βThe Beatles' final recorded masterwork, featuring the legendary Side B medley.β
β"All four knew it was the end," Rob Sheffield writes of this 50th anniversary reissue. "For the last time in their lives, they were writing, playing and singing Beatles songs."β
βThe perfect ending to a recording career, this LP shows a band still in its prime, capable of songwriting and recording feats others could only envy.β
β**π Thoughts:** Beginning with the iconic opening track βCome Together,β The Beatles set the bar highβand somehow exceeds it. *Abbey Road* is both undoubtedly one of the greatest albums ever recorded and one that helped redefine and push rock music as a whole forward. **πΆ Tracklist Review** 1.)

βEssential if you have ears. Between the diverse instrumentation and warm harmonies, this is a classic. Itβs hard to believe they were able to put together a collection of songs that built on their previous discography this quickly. Although not one their most experimental albums, they played it safe and the outcome is beautiful. Lighthearted song writing with catchy melodies and a range of song topics. My only gripes with the album is when Paulβs voice gets harsh. Lot of the songs are also like interludes leaving you wanting more. But this speaks more to how talented they are. You can play this almost anywhere with no complains. Itβs easy-going, fun and will instantly put you in a good mood.β
βThe final act for the Greatest Band Ever. These four boys created the foundation for all great works today. Without them, weβre nothing. This album explores the creative challenges within their working relationships. We see the lads in their own space. Soul shattering songs like Something and Sun King will make listening re-think what they know to be true. The best of the best. The Beatles.β
βAbbey road is one of the most popular and important albums of all time and while it might not be my favorite record by The Beatles its value is there, from classic songs like come together and Here Comes The Sun to beautiful guitar melodies and stellar song writing by Paul McCartney and John Lennon this album is truly just timeless in my opinionβ
βItβs not a 10 to be quite real with you guys. Come together is unlistenable. Maxwell is just too Paul-indulgent (cringe). But starting from βBecauseβ is the best run of tracks in music.β
βpara muchos el mejor Γ‘lbum de los beatles pero sinceramente y en mi opiniΓ³n no creo sea el mejor, es experimental y eso pero en realidad le lame los huevos a splhcbβ
βThe medley is the second best sixteen minutes in music history, right after the back half of The Eminem Show.β
βAmazing songs on the A side, incredible creativity on the B side. I love relistening to this albumβ
