This album shows a lot of George's slide guitar skills and strong songwriting. "The Lord Loves The One" is so fun and has that Dylanesque wryness to it, what a treat! For me, this is one of the best post-Beatles albums from the Fab Four. Perhaps I'm misanthropic as well, but I happen to share Mr. Harrison's disappointment with the ways of the world while being horrified that we all have play a part in that.

The early 1970's was unquestionably an era of unparalleled spirituality in its popular music, with mainstream hits (Ocean's "Put Your Hand in the Hand", Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky", Pacific Gas & Electric's "Are You Ready"), with mainstream artists issuing outspokenly religious themes (Dylan, Clapton, Townshend), and with the rise of a new genre, Jesus Rock and Roll (which became Contemporary Christian Music and folks very close to my heart...Keith Green, Larry Norman, 2nd Chapter of Acts, etc.). George Harrison was certainly one of the vanguard of this movement, and this album is a master work--perhaps the only "Contemporary Hare Krishna" album you'll ever find.

Of course, Harrison comes in with a pretty formidible musical pedigree, and the music in this album is consistently good even for the listener disinterested in matters spiritual. The album may be a slight disppointment for someone wanting to hear George rock (only "Sue Me Sue You Blues" and the title song rock, and pretty mildly at that), but the melodies, the guitar work, and (in particular) the vocals reflect George Harrison in absolute top form.

Still some of his best music, and probably his strongest post ATMP effort until Brainwashed.

Fantastic (July 31, 2010)

This sort of replaces "Dark Side Of the Moon" for me.
DSOTM is also a 1973 recording.
Just kept popping into my mind as I heard it, who knows?

Far more concise than "All Things Must Pass"

I love it--bought on a whim no less, got to be his best record, but i'll investigiate!

A very good album (April 24, 2010)

Living in the Material World is a very good album by George Harrison, next to All Things Must Pass. Besides being very good this album also has a nostalgic value to me since it's the first George Harrison LP I bought back in '73. I still have the original LP but it's been well over 8 years since I was able to listen to it since my Thorens turntable is still kept in my ceiling. The music and the words are good.

George Harrison's best (September 8, 2009)

I love George Harrison and I am replenishing my cd collection. This cd is by far some of his greatest work.

George Harrison: Living in the Material World. (August 1, 2008)

I had this original album. There will never be another guy like him. Nobody does anything like him or probably ever will again. He is sorely missed. This is timeless stuff & from the Golden Era.
