This album often gets a bad rap, although George's work as a whole I think doesn't get the credit it deserves. Maybe this isn't one of his very best. Still, I think it is a good album.
Blood from a Clone - Is the critical George, it kind of lurches and has a reference to Frank Zappa and isn't that far in spirit from Mr Zappa's work.
Unconsciousness Rules - another somewhat caustic song, in many ways George hits harder and takes firmer stands than John.
Life itself - One of my favourite spiritual songs from George and Quite beautiful
All Those Years Ago - Nice to hear this tribute to John and with Paul & linda making a contribution. I remember hearing this on the radio a fair bit when I spent sometime alone in my parents batch in Raglan.
Baltimore Oriole - Nice,but kind of sad song
Teardrops - Poppy vibe, quite playful, if with some kind of sad subject matter. Does remind me a bit of George's next album Gone Troppo.
That which i have lost - A bit of divine philosophy, but still works as a song
Writings on the Wall - Sadder song, a bit of a dirge, but I still find it compelling.
Hong Kong Blues - Good story song, bit of a sad story. Good though.
Save the World - Yip we still need to do this.
Overall it's a bit more serious and down than his best work, also the songs don't seem to build that well as an album, but all the songs are made with care and I think the songs are good. It's an album I can respect.
