Abbey Road
Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album by English rock band the Beatles, released on 26 September 1969 by Apple Records. The recording sessions for the album were the last in which all four Beatles participated. Although Let It Be was the final album that the Beatles completed before the band's dissolution in April 1970, most of the album had been recorded before the Abbey Road sessions began. A two-sided hit single from the album, "Something" backed with "Come Together", released in October, topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US.-Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
1969 - they’ve achieved here the closest thing yet to Beatles freeform, fusing more diverse intriguing musical and lyrical ideas into a piece that amounts to far more than the sum of those ideas
-
Pitchfork
2009 - The 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.
-
Billboard
2014 - From the iconic opening bass line of "Come Together" to the ambitious Side 2 medley to the solemnity-subverting "Her Majesty," the entire album is an unqualified triumph.
-
BBC
2007 - A marvellous set-piece finale for the group.
-
Consequence of Sound
2009 - Everything about it is perfect. It sports the most iconic album cover to date, it’s filled with the band’s most phenomenal and realized work, and it’s the most cohesive album in The Beatles’ untouchable discography.

All Music
Whether Abbey Road is the Beatles' best work is debatable, but it's certainly the most immaculately produced (with the possible exception of Sgt. Pepper) and most tightly constructed.
-
Ultimate Classic Rock
Abbey Road become one of the Beatles' landmark records, a pivotal point in their short, storied career
-
Neon Modern Times
An absolute show of the pure talent John, Paul, George and Ringo had, and what they leave as a musical legacy has never been matched.
-

the Beatles found their magic formula once again and made the classic Abbey Road music which showcases each member of the band performing at their finest level

The Telegraph
2009 - Abbey Road is the Beatles' last love letter to the world.
-
The Guardian
2012 - You will enjoy "Abbey Road." But it won't move you.
-
Something Else!
2014 - simultaneously the Beatles at their best, and the sound of a band disintegrating. Such is the power and magic of Abbey Road
-
NY Times
1969 - As it stands, ``Abbey Road'' isn't tremendous. Still, it has 15 fine minutes and, by rock standards, that's a lot.
-
Glide Magazine
2009 - the tones and performances on Abbey Road are the most mature and complex of any of their work
-
The Avacado
2018 - Abbey Road is one of the Beatles’ best albums, and although it works better as a whole than as a collection of strong songs, it still captures them reclaiming their status as the greatest rock band ever.
-
NME
2017 - as the last thing the Beatles recorded together (‘Let It Be’ being mostly recorded before, but released after) it remains a perfect parting gift
-
Starling
the album as a whole is brilliant, and a masterpiece for the second side alone
-

NO band has ever had a better swan-song than this

The Orion
2018 - The resulting sound successfully reflects a band able to get past their differences long enough to produce a musically tight, mature and complex piece of work.
-
Vintage Rock
exemplifies a pinnacle in a career that consistently busted the barometer for seven glorious years
-
Icon Fetch
2010 - Breaking up never sounded this good.
-
The Solute
2016 - Taken as an album driven by a knowledge of its group’s end, Abbey Road stands in the highest echelon, and taken as a Beatles album, even more so.
-
Album Apart
Abbey Road is the polished sound of The Fab Four closing the curtains but not before all members showcase their premium talent, recorded with the newest technology of their day.
-
Skyhawk Flight
2018 - It isn’t The Beatles’ best work, but it is one of their most iconic.
