Like, I think this has, definitely has higher highlights than some of the albums that I've actually ranked above this.
JustinHOST
Um, especially in things like, uh, like Got My Sign, Got My Mind Set On You, the, uh, the cover.
JustinHOST
Um, and then songs like Just for Today, really nice stripped back emotional tune.
JustinHOST
Um, This Is Love, When We Was Fab also I think great songs.

Menley MyersGUEST
Ah.
Menley MyersGUEST
I think When We Was Fab is kinda weak, if I'm being honest, but it's got this really fun jaunt to it.
Menley MyersGUEST
Like, it's a really dumb and goofy song, but I think it's fun, and I think it ends really great with Got My Mind Set On You.
Menley MyersGUEST
Um, it's a really strong bounce back in my opinion.

Stephen NicholsonHOST
Most of the blame must fall on Harrison, though producer Jeff Lynne's influence is far too prevalent.
Stephen NicholsonHOST
The album is occasionally redeemed by the deft guitar interplay between Harrison and Eric Clapton, as well as the perky single 'Got My Mind Set On You'." So the album has a 3.51 out of 5 rating on rateyourmusic.com, and his previous album, Gone Troppo, has a 2.73 rating.
Stephen NicholsonHOST
Now, sales-wise, the album sold over four and a half million copies worldwide, reaching number 10 on the UK charts and number eight in the US, and the album went gold here in the UK and platinum in the US.
Stephen NicholsonHOST
The album had three singles.
Stephen NicholsonHOST
"Got My Mind Set On You", which was released on the 12th of October 1987.
Stephen NicholsonHOST
"When We Was Fab", released on the 25th of January 1988, and "This Is Love", released on the 13th of June 1988.
Stephen NicholsonHOST
So we're now onto the album discussion.
Stephen NicholsonHOST
Um, and I don't know why I was down there, but that, that's what I bought.
