Vastly Under-rated
Review date: 2007-07-12 Rating: 8 out of 10

This is a watershed album for George Harrison and generally over-looked. A real waste. Cut at a time when a lot of his contemporaries were embarrassing themselves with attempts to sound in touch this is a quiet, intimate and soulful collection. Lazy in places but melodic, warm and honest and packing fully half an album's worth of gems. The radio friendly production that made Cloud Nine and Brainwashed better sellers is missing but this album does have the effortless and thoughtful charm that drips from Harrison's well regarded later work. If we're going to have no new albums at least this one remains out there to be discovered by those who've overlooked it so far.

Excellent in places, garbage in others

A nosedive after the excellent 'Somewhere in England'. Nevertheless, 'Gone Troppo' has its moments. The title track is irresitable, the single ('Wake Up My Love') moves along nicely and 'Dream Away' is as smooth as you'd wish, but unfortunately goes on too long. The best track on the album could be George's best ever song, 'Mystical One' a gorgeous glowing tribute to his best mate Eric Clapton.
Aside from this, there are just too many undistinguished and frankly boring tracks, which just go nowhere: "Baby Don't Run Away' 'Circles' 'Greece' and 'That's the Way It Goes'.
'I Really Love You' is a nice doo-wop intrusion and full of fun, but overall this album is full of the sublime, with too much of the ridiculous.

Not the Italian film festival

It should be remembered that Harrison was messing about with synthesisers long before the New Wave made them fashionable and whatever the Human League did he could do it as good.
Interesting cover of a song made around 1962 by the Stereos-I'd like to have heard an entire album of covers like this from the doowop era.
Otherwise this was a new Harrison album,mauled by the critics who thought the Clash were the be all and end all and its low chart placing was just fuel to the flame.I hate rock critics anyway

I love this album

I really don't agree or understand when people say that this album is rubbish because in my opipion it's better than all things must pass but not as good as "living in the material world" or "Cloud Nine" it had everything to be a classic and sell millions but with lack of promotion and the music world not giving it a chance and saying that Harrison is passed it. but i wasn't round when this album was realased i got it with the brillant dark horse box set. and it's a great album of classic melodic rock that is vasely under-rated by fans and music world alike...and the demo of Mystic one it's fabulous it brings a tear to my eye.
