  George Harrison Album Reviews
So when The Beatles broke up it was time for George to show the world what he could do, and given the large amount of material he had stockpiled, the end result was this then-unprecedented 3-record set (which is now a handy double cd).
The album’s catchy, upbeat hooks were a far cry from Harrison’s usual super-seriousness, and much of the credit is likely due to producer Jeff Lynne.

George Harrison, as its title suggests, is an attempt to dismantle the off-putting, didactic persona of most of George's solo work in favor of a more intimate and uncluttered approach -- which is to say that it means to be more commercial.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : George Harrison
George could have written all but, let's say, four of the songs on 'Abbey Road', and if he had, it would have been a better album of actual songs than it was.
George had moved on, was maturing and was at last at one with the One he found over five years earlier in Long, Long, Long.
This albums is too light, too un-weighty and too middle of the road to be taken as anything other than a solid, average to good effort from the quiet one.

George was sufficiently inspired by the group's success to drop out of the Liverpool Institute to pursue his rock-and-roll dream more earnestly, working as an electrician's apprentice to pay his living expenses (he soon quit because he kept blowing things up).
Harrison's tact and the way he has dealt with his inner self should not be underestimated; the "quiet" Beatle does seem to have this part of his life totally sorted out.

George Harrison's seventies recording career ended on a positive note with the release of his excellent, 1979 self-titled solo album, but the eighties started off rough for him.
Of all of George Harrison's solo albums, this is probably the most "pop-sounding" one of all.
And, two fairly big hits emerged from this album - the title track, which is an extremely catchy little pop number, as well as That's The Way It Goes, which is the best song featured on this entire album (in my opinion anyway.) And, like with any Harrison album, the non-hits are also excellent.

 The Music Box: George Harrison - Brainwashed (Album Review)
Full of pent-up energy and ideas as well as a slew of songs that were left unused by his former band, the album finally gained Harrison the respect he so rightly deserved as both a songwriter and performer.
It’s true that Harrison did ask Lynne to step lightly in creating the final product, and indeed, Lynne does tread a little softer than usual (perhaps tempered by the guiding hand of Harrison’s son Dhani).
This isn’t all that surprising, of course, when one considers that Harrison found his spiritual acceptance years ago and, therefore, didn’t feel the need or inclination to spend his final days whining about his imminent fate.

The track brought Harrison legal trouble - a girl band from the sixties called The Chiffons claimed that it was a rip-off of their hit "He's So Fine".
There are two versions of the latter on the album, both of which are excellent (though I lean more toward the first version, which was a bigger hit.) Harrison also tries his hand at bluesy, country-based rock with "Apple Scruffs".
When this album was released it shot to #1 and was (I believe) the first triple album to do so.

Better to say that George Harrison’s self-titled elpee is a fitting followup to Thirty-Three & 1/3.
Coproduced by Russ Titelman (fresh from sessions with Randy Newman), the album lacks the sharp horn attack that Tom Scott brought to George’s last record, which means that these songs may take a little longer for their intrinsic melody to be revealed.
Once that’s done, George’s fans should agree that “Blow Away,” “Dark Sweet Lady” and “Soft Touch” are as tuneful as anything from his Dark Horse days.
