Drawing on his backlog of unused compositions from the late Beatles era, Harrison crafted material that managed the rare feat of conveying spiritual mysticism without sacrificing his gifts for melody and grand, sweeping arrangements.
In "All Things Must Pass" Harrison shines brighter than ever
His debut is a 23 track powerhouse that really goes toe toe with The Beatles' best
George really came into his own as a songwriter during the middle of the band's peak and was thus overshadowed by Lennon-McCartney something that although made sense was unfair. From 66' and onwards George's contributions were consistently some of the best in their respective albums. Songs like "Taxman", "Blue Jay Way" ... read more
George is the best Beatle, sorry everyone, but I don’t make up the rules, this is the truth, and this album shows how much talent he had.
First of all, I would like to mention how colossal this how project is, it’s like a hour and half, and some of these songs go on for on for like 8 minutes, I know this make it seems it’s bloated, but not really, I know that’s mainly due to how absolutely amazing these songs sound, seoriusly, the production literally slays me on this ... read more
Prior to this I've never heard a solo project from any member of the Beatles, so I guess the best place to start with that is with my personal favourite Beatle George Harrison and his sophomore album 'All Things Must Pass'. This album is a large undertaking from George Harrison to say the least, clocking in at about an hour and 40 minutes with 23 tracks, but with that amount of time George manages to showcase the talent that he never really got to fully showcase during his tenure with the ... read more
If there was any album that would make me religious, this would be the one.
The album is very calming, which is reflective of how George must have been feeling at that time. The Beatles was ending, and he was moving onto a new chapter of his life. This is reflected within the title of the album "All Things Must Pass," with this album being his official departure from being solely just a member of The Beatles to a solo artist. George is not bitching about The Beatles ending; it feels ... read more

This, right here, is perhaps my favourite album of all time, and solidifies George Harrison as the best Beatle. All Things Must Pass resonates with me every time. It's a graceful and heartfelt record full of grand, well-assembled songs, each having their own mystical aura about them. One of the best listens of my life.

okay you can @ me all you want, but the absolute best way of listening to this album is without the 4 random outtakes included on spotify + the 5 instrumentals. Takes the album to a beautiful 1 hour and 14 minutes of George perfection

This album is amazing. I can imagine George, smiling at himself saying something like “now they are going know”. Superb!
