Advantages: some excellent songs that are catchy and touching

Disadvantages: Strange album artwork

Brainwashed was the album George Harrison fans had been waiting for since Cloud Nine in 1987. Unfortunately for those fans it proved to be Harrison's last album, being released after his untimely death.
That said, Brainwashed is a great epitaph for Harrison, full of uplifting songs and some that now on reflection come across as very poignant.
Any Road opens the album and is a catchy number thats full of fun and energy, as is the second P2 Vatican Blues (Saturday Night). This song, and many others on the album just show how creative Harrison was with wordplay and lyrics.
Pisces Fish, Marwa Blues and Looking For My Life are the more poignant songs on the album and are very reflective and gentle.
My favourite song is Rising Sun which is an amazing track with great lyrics and singalong chorus.
Some have said this album has been 'over-produced' by Jeff Lynne. I disagree, Lynne has really brought to life Harrison's musical vision and created his best album since All Things Must Pass back in 1970.

Summary: A fitting tribute to the late, great Beatle
