ok, my turn Music Head!
i like the album a lot, the best song is 'hitchhiker' which is autobiographical account of his leaving Torronto in the mid 1960s through to the love he has for his wife,peggi, and kids, with everything inbetween from drug experimentation,success, failed relationships,fame and love/hate for it.
the worst song is 'rumblin', bit of a nothing song for me, dont like it, may never like it, it doesnt mean anything to me.
i think the album sounds 'fresh', a kick in the arse to show these new groups that the old guys can still make loud noise and play.
then theres 'love and war'...why is the old guys are the only ones who have the balls to speak out against not only war but the effects of war, where are the young singers/groups? do they have no social or pollitical nerve.
i would have like to see the surviving members of crazy horse thrash it out one more time and this album would have been perfect for them, but neil young being neil young does it his way, on his terms as always.
i think this album will be highly regarded in time and will rank anongst his best albums, neil young will win few new fans with this album, but does he need them? does he even care? i doubt it
