A superior and timeless piece of melodious artisty.

It is quite easy to rate this album through the eys of sentimentality rather than with a critical ear. After all, his death was a tragic loss. However, Harrison's last album ranks among his best. His acoustical songs reveal flashes of the greatness that wrote "Here Comes the Sun," and "My Sweet Lord". Harrison allows his deep spirituality to baptize his lyrics and melodies with what I call, for lack of a better word, "sweetness." This is not a party album. Like all of Harrison's late and post-Beatles work, the songs are intended to create introspection, and to remind us that we are more than a collection of molecules and cells. This last albumn accomplished what Harrison desired. If we fail to understand "why" he wrote his songs "it is a pity and shame."… Expand

better than cloud 9 which means as good as all things...marwa blues..rising sun....piches fish...looking for my life...slide guitar...warm lyrics...beautiful sounds..meaningful songs...just beautiful and unforgetable..and melancholic

This album is an education, on may levels!

Fantastic work...at least 6 tracks that would work on a best of ! His best since Thirty-Three and A Third...and up there with "All Things Must Pass".

A masterpiece. This might be George's best album.

A beautiful album! Thanks George, Dhani, Jeff & anyone else involved. :)

His best since ATMP. It's sad to think this is his last. I've been a fan for 25 years. Thanks George.

This is george at his best! He was always better than john, paul, and ringo anyway. It is definatley not OVER-POLISHED either !!!!! Harrison wanted Lynne to produce it and he knew that he would make it as good as he could. Anybody should buy this!!! This album deserves a 40 but the vote thing only goes to 10.

This is one of george´s best albums. I will surely miss you.

A fitting orbituary for a fine man.A really good listen.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this album!!! I can listen to it over and over again without ever getting tired of it. I wish the CD never ended!I want it to keep going! George Harrison is great and the songs are great! Thankyou George for doing your own thing, cuz you knew it was good! Thankyou Dhani for finishing his album and letting everyone have that peace.

Maravillosas canciones de un genial músico que supo conjuntar melodía con sensibilidad, belleza con meditación, sinceridad con profundidad espiritual. Otra de sus obras maestras.

I wish he was still between us!

Harrison wrote some good material for this album. He offers up some of the most gorgeous slide guitar solos he ever recorded. Sadly, Jeff Lynne chose to add his predictably thoughtless wall of orchestra pop to the proceedings, largely ruining one of Harrison's finest albums. This is one of those albums that I would love to hear just about ANYONE else produce.

There is no one like George, never will be.

I have no doubt that this is George's best album since "All Things Must Pass" and it's even better than that album in its production. There's no Wall of Sound standing in George's way, and despite what some people think, there's very little, if any at all, of Jeff Lynne's "ELO Treatment" that he usually stamps all over everything he produces. Lyrically, it�39;s right up there with "All Things Must Pass", too. For anybody familiar with recent work by the ex-Fabs, I can tell you one thing -- "One, two, three, four, five, let's go for a drive" this is NOT!… Expand

outstanding, worth the 15 year wait

This is top top shelf Harrison up there along with "All Things Must Pass"('70), "33&1/3"('76), the Concert For Bangla Desh('71), & frist Traveling Wlburys('88). Even a bit better that "Cloud 9"('87), "George Harrison"('79), or the second Traveling Wilburys('90).

The best of George since All things must pass

Would of liked to have listened to George's songs with just he and a slide guitar. As akin the his outake of "Something" from the Abbey road album.

This album rates a 9.5-9.7. What strikes the listener here concerns Harrison's lyrics; he delivers his strongest, wittiest, and even at times poetic lyric since perhaps his days in that fabulous art-soul band from Liverpool. Still, a few missteps keep this part of the album from attaining an outright "10"; sometimes Harrison loses the fine balance between pop whimsy and earnest profundity to become merely didactic. Happily, this occurs only rarely. Otherwise, Harrison's guitar leads and slide work provide an outstanding argument as to his importance as a rock guitarist. Many have underrated Harrison as merely a "fine" guitarist in contrast to brilliant peers, such as Jeff Beck. But Harrison worked with a subtle palette that underplayed the wide vocabulary of styles of which he was familiar; for a rock guitarist, he incorporated elements of jazz (listen to his use of diminished and augmented ninth chording and key changes in his solos) as well as the fluidity of indian sitar music. Rockablility, folk, and blues coloured his guitar work as well, and on Brainwashed Harrison's ecclecticism not only provides for the lovliest of shadings, but reminds any listener---and guitarist---just how FINE a musician he really was. "Brainwashed" leaves us Harrison's enduring and haunting farewell. A lovely and poignant work, revealing brilliance and flaws altogether. All things may pass, indeed, but never George Harrison's legacy, as this album confirms. … Expand

Excelente!

I'm stunned people would call this over-produced. Perhaps that's just the critics' anti-Lynne bias showing. This album has some really high points, an only a couple low ones. It might not measure up to All Thing Must Pass, but neither did Babe Ruth hit 60 HR every season.

This is an absolutely beautiful set of songs. It brings tears of joy (at the gift of hearing them) and sadness (over the fact that we didn't get more work like this from George over the last two decades of his life, and that no more will be forthcoming). It is certainly among the best solo albums release by any of the former Beatles. A classic by a towering talent.

I love this album!!

Comparing this to his overall body of work, I'd put "All Things Must Pass" at the top, and this second. Although Lynne did some polishing, sometimes too much so, it sounds like he had fun making this.
