Reviews Customer Reviews for Dark Horse      very very great, like always      Rating:      I really can't believe more people don't consider Dark Horse one of George Harrison's best albums. Honestly, I think it's time to stop praising All Things Must Pass to the moon and start *really* listening to the albums he made after that one. George Harrison was WAY too good of a songwriter and emotional singer to care about only one of his albums, despite how much of a classic it might be. Funny story- all these years I thought the song "Dark Horse" sounded so cool because George was deliberately giving the vocals a creepy dark feeling. Now I read he was actually having throat problems, so that sound was by total mistake! Interesting. Doesn't change the fact it's one of his best songs ever. Absolutely LOVE it. I remember the first week of 7th grade -BORED out of my mind because I hated school so much- and just singing this song to myself over and over. "Hari's on Tour (Express)" is quite an instrumental that goes from jazz to hard rock, to just really good rock music. It's a memorable song for the way the song jumps around to different parts. It took me a couple plays to get into this one, I admit, and that's not really a flaw with the song- just my struggle getting into things the first time. "Simply Shady" has some cool lyrics, and HIGHLY enjoyable vocals. Love the way the verse melody sounds dreamy (or drunk) and the chorus is really good too. "So Sad" is incredibly beautiful and emotional. Classic George Harrison. What a voice that man had. "Ding Dong Ding Dong" is like a Christmas song, but I don't know if it's officially considered a Christmas song. According to a radio station that once played it, yeah, it is! "It Is "He" (Jai Sri Krishna)" kind of repeats that one chorus like crazy, but I don't care. It's melodic. The verse melody that occasionally pops up is really good too. "Bye Bye Love" is kind of forgettable though. But the rest of the album is great, so five stars is what I believe the album deserves.     Customer Reviews for Dark Horse Cd      "Dark Hoarse"      Rating:      George Harrison's 1974 rush-release suffers from his obvious laryngitis - surely he could have waited until a full recovery. Not surprisingly, the best track on "Dark Horse" is the opening instrumental, "Hari's on Tour." Despite the impeccable musicianship, George's shredded voice ruins everything from the title song to an unnecessary remake of "Bye Bye Love." The world's finest digital remastering cannot salvage Harrison's weakest album.
