After The Beatles broke up, everyone went straight for their style of music.
Harrison focused primarily on Spirituality, which I find sooo boring.
This was 1970, the same year The Beatles broke up, which meant through those 10 years, Harrison compiled this mountain of music that never made it through The Beatles' filters.
The beginning of the Album is soft, genuine, and peaceful, with the occasional swing. The end throws itself into an upbeat, rhythmic clash of rock, which is pretty sweet, and help defines the Album as a story itself.
My favourite part was the instrumental songs. Don't get me wrong, Harrison has the voice of an angel, but when you can only imagine a story in your head based off of strings and percussion, it's loaded with potential.
The Album was just dreadfully long and kind of boring, and didn't really have much motif behind it.
You REALLY have to like Harrison to dig this Album.
