 In his book subtitled The Beatles ' Solo Years , 1970 – 1980 , Robert Rodriguez features Extra Texture in a chapter dedicated to the worst solo albums released by the four ex @-@ Beatles between 1970 and 1980 – the only one of Harrison 's albums to be included there . Rodriguez writes : " To be sure , Extra Texture boasted several fine cuts … but the remainder of the collection was almost entirely weary in tone , amounting to a prolonged buzz kill . " Nick DeRiso , co @-@ founder of the music website Something Else ! , includes it on his list of the five worst solo albums by either John Lennon , McCartney or Harrison , and describes it as a " grinding , relentlessly downbeat album , where even the name Extra Texture has come to feel like a cruel joke " .
