Amazing album, dips a little in the middle but none of them drop below a four. Definitely one of my all time favourites
The transition between Golden Slumbers and carry that weight is amazing

Recent reviews
It cannot have been that infuriating to record that song.
Obviously a classic album. I didn’t realise just how many hits there are on this. There are so many standout tracks to me on the first half of the album. The second half is a bit more forgettable but the idea of it being unfinished tracks that sorta blend together grew on me. I feel like there’s so many different songs on here that could be peoples favourites. For me I like Something, Oh Darling, She’s so Heavy, You Never give me your Money.
