Customer Reviews:
Harrison's last stand.......2004-06-03
After George Harrison reissued his classic album All Things Must Pass, rumors spread that he was recording a new album. Unfortunately, he died of brain cancer on November 29, 2001, and these rumors were forgotten. But, in 2002, these rumors were turned into solid fact - the new album, Brainwashed, was finally released. Harrison's Traveling Wilburys bandmate and former Electric Light Orchestra frontman Jeff Lynne helped to complete the album following his death. How does Harrison's final album measure up? Read on for my review of Brainwashed.
The album kicks off with the pop-rocker Any Road. This song was a very good choice for the album starter, because it's nothing short of excellent. My personal favorite track on the album is the second one, P2 Vatican Blues (Last Saturday Night.) This is classic-styled rock as only Harrison could do, and it's a shame this song will probably never get the proper credit. The ultra-slow and melodic Pisces Fish comes next. Once again, this is a very good track. Harrison even serves up an instrumental, which is entitled Marwa Blues. It's a shame he didn't do more instrumentals, because this one really captures his ability to make music well. Also, as you may have heard Paul McCartney say in the Concert For George CD/DVD, Harrison was a fan of the ukulele. And in The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea, it's the main instrument. It's a "happy" little tune that is quite good. The album closes with the title track, Brainwashed. This track has some good lyrics in that they are both funny and will make you think, but unfortunately, the lyric delivery is poor due to Harrison's diminishing health. That's a shame, because the song had true potential. Still, it's a good song despite this. Overall, this is a pretty good album.
In addition to the standard version of this album, there is a special edition version available. The tracklists of both releases are the same, but the special edition includes a "making of" DVD, a guitar pick, and a ton of other little bonuses. If you're a die-hard fan, shell out the extra cash and get the deluxe version, but if you're just a regular-level fan of his, you'll be fine just getting the regular one.
Brainwashed was a very good way for Harrison to end his musical career. However, if you're just getting into Harrison's music for the first time, this isn't that good of a starting point. All Things Must Pass should be the first Harrison album any new fan buys (don't bother with the so-called "Best of George Harrison" that covers from 1965-1975 - that compilation isn't very good.. George was a musical making genius - may he rest in peace.
