And while there are still some beautiful and delightfully lyrical, charming moments throughout, few of the melodies are as instantly memorable and compelling as those of most of the songs on the earlier record, and some of the most serious songs here, such as "The Light That Has Lighted the World," seem weighed down with their own sense of purpose, in ways that All Things Must Pass mostly (but not entirely) avoided. [22][23] As Harrison admitted, his adherence to his spiritual path was not necessarily consistent.

Living in the Material World displays a bit of both Harrison's strengths and weaknesses. [155] The latter wrote that "the most strikingly immediate impression left by the album" concerned its lyrics, which, although "solemn and pious" at times, were "more interesting" thematically than those on All Things Must Pass, such that Material World was "as personal, in its own way, as anything that Lennon has done". [84][85] Gary Wright, who shared Harrison's spiritual preoccupations,[86] and Klaus Voormann returned, on keyboards and bass, respectively, and John Barham again provided orchestral arrangements.
