After The Gold Rush

Definitely the classic Neil Young album I've listened to least, with no great reason for that. And I know it's a hard pass in the group, and that some might be allergic to his voice, but it's really lovely, with some beautiful songwriting.

It was very good

This has always been one of my favorites. It was great listening to it again. Classic after classic

Neil cooked with Southern Man and the rest are clearly good even if they don't especially stand out to me.

I prefer hard-rocking Young to folkie Young, and so I can’t give this a perfect rating despite its status as probably one of the most beloved albums ever made. All the songs are great, but Young’s very…particular voice in a folky context is hard for me to completely get over. Best track: “Southern Man”

It's a seminal album and there's a ton of good songs on here but some are thinner than I remember. Still pretty great and definitely good to listen to before one dies.

A classic, obviously, though not at the top of my Neil Young rankings. There's a funny quote Neil Young has about the meaning, or lack thereof, of Tell Me Why, saying of the chorus: "What the fuck am I talking about?" But meaning is kind of beside the point against the way I feel when I hear those opening lines. I think the record slows a bit on the B-side, which feels like a let down against the run of absolute classics that kick off the record. I get an immense pleasure from singing snippets of this to my dog in Neil Young voice, especially Cripple Creek Ferry.

Great!!!

Classic. Bit slow for my tastes overall but he makes pleasant sounds.

Álbum muito rico em arranjos e vocais. Young genial em todas as épocas. QoA Vesper.

nice

Raw melodies from heart, I still liked On the Beach more though Fav. Track: Tell me Why

i believe i'd like it more if my right headphone didn't break while i was listening to this album

It's Neil Young, basically at the height of his powers. Some really incredible songs on here. While it's not my favorite Neil album, I'll never argue with someone who says it's theirs.

Another collection of really awesome Neil Young tracks. After the Gold Rush deserves all the acclaim it gets but sometimes he hits that tone he sometimes hits where it sounds like he just got kicked in the balls. He hits it a lot on this one. It's not bad, it just makes me laugh. Like Bob Dylan doing his affected Kermit voice on Nashville Skyline. Still really good but Young being a little more muted & pissier on On The Beach is my zone. Don't Let It Bring You Down, definitely a top 10 Neil track. Favorite Tracks: Tell Me Why, After the Gold Rush, Southern Man, Don't Let It Bring You Down, When You Dance I Can Really Love, Cripple Creek Ferry

Always takes me a song or two to adjust to his voice and then I usually enjoy the album. This is a good one, short and sweet with a few top tunes.

Has the sound of a creative working at the top of his game. Also sounds a lot like a holdover from CSN&Y which is why I was groovin' with this record. Not my favorite Neil Young record, but I've listened to this one so few times in all my years listening to his music that it was a nice little discovery.

Loved two of the songs - the more rocky/loud ones, surprising since didnt think id like music this old

achei um álbum bem legal de escutar, a voz do carinha que canta é mt calmianha e gostosinha. as letras são ótimas pra pensar e sofrer um pouco também kkk bem legal pra uma tarde de sábado chuvosa

Obviously have heard of Neil young. Top 100 Apple album so high hopes. Right off the bat you can tell this is gonna be a song writing album. Good acoustics tho. Love the piano on gold rush. This is a really good song. Only love can break your heart is a banger. Really good songwriting. Really good background track and harmonies too. Southern man is a completely different style. This is very much so a rock song where the first few were much more folky. Great guitar. Obviously good writing again. Love the solo with the piano and guitar. Another great piano on til the morning comes. Sweet trumpet too. Wish it was longer. Oh lonesome me is another one that shows great range. Good songwriting, but different from the rest. This one is very western/country. Love the blend of acoustic and electric. Everytime I think the songwriting can’t get better it does. Don’t let it bring you down is so well written. You could put any music behind it and it would be a good song. Same thing with birds. I love that piano tho. I like how it jumps back to electric on when you dance. Not the best on the album but a pretty good song. Really good piano/guitar solo to end it. I believe in you and cripple creek ferry were both good not great. Honestly kind of forgettable, would’ve like a better ending but this was still a really good album. I get the Neil young hype. 3.6/5 stars.

This is clearly a fan favorite, but as a Neil Young fan, I was quite late to the party. This album is interesting for a variety of reasons. It basically marks the point when Young started distancing himself from Crosby, Stills & Nash and becoming a unique artist in his own right. He was touring with them at the time, but also splitting his obligations with Crazy Horse, much to CS&N's confusion (they were always pretty egocentric). It was also supposed to serve as the soundtrack for a screenplay by actor Dean Stockwell and Herb Bermann (the latter of whom wrote Safe as Milk for Captain Beefheart), encouraged by Dennis Hopper, of all people. The '60s, man. What a time! Only two of these songs were actually based on the screenplay: "After the Gold Rush" and "Cripple Creek Ferry." I'm not a huge fan of the former, but I enjoy most of the album overall: "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," "When You Dance I Can Really Love," "Oh, Lonesome Me," "Don't Let It Bring You Down," and the somber piano ballad "Birds." "Southern Man" is also a poignant piece of social commentary about the ugly side of Southern politics and racism (a place Young loves), but it's a bit ugly and masculine, though perhaps that was the point. It's a good place to start for Young's more sensitive, pensive side, though I feel Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere is a more solid album. But I may be biased, as I'm a bigger fan of the stuff he did with Crazy Horse than his solo work. 4 stars — an album that perfectly captures a changing America as it entered the '70s.

I really like Neil Young's voice! It carries a lot of my enjoyment of this album.

It has been a while since I have dived into some Neil Young and I got to say I have been utterly missing out because After the Gold Rush is truly the start of a marvelous career for Neil Young. I don't know if it is just Neil Young's vocals or the subject matter of this album but damn does he sound so sad all across After the Gold Rush. Neil never has a booming vocal presence anywhere on this album, but he knows how to use his soft voice to shine a light rather than to blind the listener with his talents. It also helps highlight his masterful lyrical ability which really started clicking on both this album and Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. For being 35 minutes, this album sure does take its' time and boy do I love that pacing for this project because I just want to stay in its' cozy aura for a few more minutes. It is super calming and to the point where I don't even think any of my words will do this project justice. It is just something I think more people should just jump into themselves because it is a great album. Really excited to see where Neil has to go from here because I am quite impressed once again!

A couple of tracks took this from a solid listen to a beautiful, almost fragile sounding work of art. 4/5

I love his shrill little voice

It’s actually quite good, and I’m not a folk fan. Or maybe it just fit my melancholy.

Tell Me Why Only Love Can Break Your Heart Southern Man Oh, Lonesome Me Neil Young’s music sounds so raw and genuine. His voice sounds great with harmonies. I love the guitar in Southern Man. There’s great variation between songs while still being cohesive. I was less impressed with the last few tracks of this album. 70/100

Неплохо. Надо послушать ещё

Mellow Neil Young (except the angry “Southern Man”… a highlight on the record). This is a good Neil Young album… leans more into folk than rock. But he’s at his whiniest in terms of vocals. I listened to it a few times and after enjoying it on listen 1,nit started to grate on me a little bit guess. His more rock-centric stuff doesn’t tend to do that to me as much. Still a 4 though.

Good

melancholic nostalgia for the hippy dippy of the 60s. a gentler form of propaganda rolls through the album. all in all a peaceful call for better, you can sense some of the reasons why he's called the godfather of grunge, this moment is yet to happen but the vibe is building Mid 4

A few days ago I had CSNY, and yesterday I had another album of Neil Young, so this is getting a little ridiculous. Songs are good though, so even if I am not a big fan of his voice, I can still enjoy the record. No particular favourites, but many evenly good songs.

Very good. Southern Man is exceptionally good. Nice smooth rhythm to the album

Few new songs, it is just good

2/1000 After The Gold Rush - Neil Young (1970) My first Neil Young album! I've always felt a little intimidated when approaching his music as he doesn't seem too easy to fit in a box. My first reaction was that his voice is sort of unusual, but by "Southern Man" I was absolutely gripped through to the end. Like Neil's career, this album just had a bit of an intangible draw to it which is part of what made it so good. ★★★★½

Look, I haven't listened to much Neil Young but I know the jist. Nothing i say will be news to anyone but I must call out the vocals. To my tastes - too thin, too American. But elsewhere, this is all good. It's almost perfect, in fact. With more listens I could maybe overlook some of the annoying vocal moments. But not for a first time listen.

Solidddd! 4/5

A good country/folk album, homemade and real

1 listen. Favorite track: Southern Man

Expectation: -> Neil Young 1970? No way, not my jam. After listening: -> Shocked at how much I enjoy this. Played the album ~10 times. Track ranking: Southern Dance Only love Believe Cripple Tell me Birds Gold Morning Lonesome Bring you down

I've been ingesting lots of media recently from the tail end of the 1960s and the beginning of the 70s, much of it from the UK or the American West. in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Raoul Duke writes about how mid-60s life in San Francisco (a good way up the coast from where Neil Young recorded After the Gold Rush about half a decade afterwards) was full of a "sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil," comparing the optimism of the time to "the crest of a high and beautiful wave" which, "less than five years later, ...broke and rolled back." After the Gold Rush was inspired by the now-lost script of a film by the same title, in which a commune of hippies in Topanga Canyon (where Young was living at the time) gets washed away in a great flood. perhaps it was the same wave Hunter S. Thompson was talking about. sure, the script might be a bit on-the-nose as a metaphor for the social upheaval taking place, but it makes for a pretty fertile starting point for a set of songs! the gorgeous, instantly memorable title track plays into those themes the most obviously. it's relayed through dream visions of humanity's journey from peace and harmony to drug addiction and environmental collapse. like many Young songs, it's dead simple from a musical perspective, a three-chord piano ballad with a horn overdub; but the imagery evoked is some of the richest in all of singer-songwriterdom! the rest of the material follows suit; this is probably the least hard-rockin' album I've listened to from Young so far. "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" is a real punch to the gut in 6/8, for instance. it's mostly very acoustic and tender, with the vocal harmonies being an especially nice touch. there's a somber mood about these songs, which gives me the impression that Young and Crazy Horse were deeply aware of the significance of the moment they were capturing. I'm aware of Young's ability to let it hang loud and loose, but it's nice to hear a different side of him here. that being said, my favorite song on Gold Rush is easily the heaviest, both topically and musically. "Southern Man", a damning indictment of the racism which was (and is) a fact of life in the American South, is also one of the only tracks where the electric guitars come out in full force; it also happens to be one of my top Neil Young songs, a deeply moving and intelligent reflection on the culture which Lynyrd Skynyrd famously tried (and failed, if you ask me) to mount a response to. interesting that they were so offended by this anti-racist anthem... strong 8/10.

„Look at Mother Nature on the run in the nineteen seventies.“ Pinguin Doku vorher, beim Song direkt geheult Die Verwandlung Moment 🥹✌🏻🖤

Bob Dylan on Friday and Neil Young on Monday. 60s-70s rebel folk at its finest. I love Neil Young, despite his voice. An incredible poet, he was massively active in anti establishment circles. This album features Southern Man, which was specifically called out in Sweet Home Alabama, and, honestly, Lynyrd Skynyrd can suck a butt. Great guitar and drums back up poetic lyrics sung in a Kermit the frog voice. Neil knew how to communicate his feelings through song in such an incredible way. He didn’t just write poppy hits or try to hit the top of the charts. He had a message, and he was going to get it out. Lyrically unmatched, his soulful melodies take you to a place in history that is largely ignored but still relevant as ever. Truly, he was a musical genius. I just wish he had a better voice, but 2 outta 3 ain’t bad.

Not as high a peak as some Neil Young, but still speaks to the soul.

A bonafide Canadian classic. The A-side features some of Young’s best, although I do find the B-side a touch inconsistent. I continue to ponder whether it’s hard to make arrangements with myself…

A bit somnambulant for my tastes, and the voice grates on some tracks, but again, the quality of the songwriting is so high that it earns a 4.

It's nice

Oli hyvää Youngia. Paljon hienoja teemoja ja musiikillisia ideoita!

I get it now

Albums good, didn't want to relate to the lyrics though ow.

Pretty damn good album

Would buy

"There was a band playing in my head and I felt like getting high" - literally me. I keep wanting to give this a 3 because I don't care for his voice, but that guitar playing on Southern Man is too enjoyable. I did not expect Neil Young to go so hard. Put this one in the Dylan pile. Good stuff, but it needs a stronger vocalist. He's fine in harmony but kinda' weak solo. Seems like a running theme with singer songwriters. A lot of them are way better at the songwriting part. Hmm, I might like Neil Young. Who'da guessed.

This is fine background music

honestly don't love Neil's voice on this, but the instrumentation is great and the lyrics even better

3.75 - I like this a bit more than the other album I've listen to recently.

Hearing ol’ Neil sing about a few things is something I want around

Solid listen, some great songs, it was over so quickly because I was jamming and havin fun

Of course this album is great. All Neil albums are great and have their own feel. Love the pacing of this one. 3/7

es un álbum tranquilo pero a la vez es muy flashero, cómo puede llegar a cambiar cada canción durante todo el álbum

A nice listen with a couple classic hits. Album as a whole is best for rainy Saturday mornings. That doesn't mean it's bad, it just means not every Saturday morning is a rainy one.

Jeg kan rigtig godt lide det! Kort og stærkt. Kellermensch have allerede preppet mig lidt med "Dont let it bring you down". Endte igen med 3 lyt, og det blev kun bedre!

Was genuinely surprised how much I enjoyed this album. From start to finish I was totally engaged. It was the first album in this list that I thought was too short and one more track may have pushed this to a solid 5. Neil Young had never been a big part of my listening history but will need to look into him more.

Even more classic. I liked this one better than Harvest.

pleasantly surprised by this! not sure how much i'll relisten but objectively a good album

Yeah I dig this

Really love this early Neil young stuff. Deceptively simple songwriting but so moorish. Not as iconic as harvest but I still loved it. Will come back to this.

Not my favorite Neil Young album - I prefer On the Beach and Everybody Knows This is Nowhere - but it still has that Neil Young magic and beauty which sets him apart from the rest.

Standouts After the Gold Rush Only Love Can Break Your Heart Southern Man Don't Let it Bring You Down

Honestly, not that I'm surprised by how good this album is, but I've mostly known Neil Young from his popular songs (And the albums Harvest/Rust Never Sleeps), so it's good to hear more great music from him. Will say, while I think this album is on par with Harvest, I do think it's a more consistently good album. Harvest might have higher highs (Old Man, Heart of Gold) vs After the Gold Rush (I like Tell Me Why and Southern Man is an absolute classic), but I do think Harvest has some lower lows (Not that it's bad, but I've never liked A Man Needs a Maid). In After the Gold Rush, the whole tracklist is solid aside from the aforementioned Tell Me Why and Southern Man which are amazing. So yeah. This list is chock full of CSN&Y stuff, and usually it's a great listen. This one is no exception, and Young was always my favorite. His work in CSN&Y was always the best, and his solo stuff was always my favorite.

Tbh this one gets a 4 Neil young’s really growing on me don’t let it bring you down is a banger

Seeing how this influenced a few bands I have listened to, only listened to Harvest Moon in the past. A little repetitive on the vocals, if consistent in style

Strong songwriting.

Pleasant enough.Young's voice is not so pleasant.

Simple songs, but so good. Stand out: only love can break your heart and don't let it bring you down

A great album. A lovely mixture of his quieter stuff alongside the Crazy Horse rock sound.

Como se extrañan los hombres sin miedo a la voz aguda. Hermosas letras, dignas de un hermoso álbum. La falta de percusión al inicio hace parecer que este disco es una sesión de unplugged en la que Neil Young nos canta a cada uno de nosotros. También, sentí a través de todas las canciones, la montaña rusa de emociones del humano con el corazón roto. La soledad, el amor, la desilusión, ya sea por una persona o por una realidad social que alguna vez fue y sigue sin repararse. Realmente es un álbum que hace buen uso de la sutileza y el movimiento donde son necesarios. La percusión hace una aparición progresiva hasta consolidarse en Southern Man con un mensaje tan crudo como necesario, que, justamente, requiere de esos golpes y velocidad. Casualmente las canciones en las que se expresa el más genuino enamoramiento (feliz) también forman parte de los sonidos más estridentes del disco, una forma, quizás indirecta, de decir que aquello que hace que arda el pecho de amor, también puede hacerlo arder frente a una injusticia.

I wonder if Neil Young's heart is as big as his songs would lead you to believe.... I think so, because why else would you sing like that?

Unfortunately I had David Crosbys If I Could Only Remember My Name just yesterday, which I personally prefer. After The Gold Rush is still a great album though.

4 stars just for the shot at racist southerners.

Oh man, I think I am getting brainwashed by 70s poproc k. Aber ich finde das fast alles gut, bzw könnte mir vorstellen dass mir eine Coverversion davon gefallen könnte..

Great Oh Lonesmone me is a aweose song

eu admito que julguei esse álbum nos primeiros segundos de musica e ate fiz uma comparaçao com o bob dylan embora eu goste das musicas dele porém quando chegou em only love can break your heart minha opiniao mudou totalmente favoritas: Only Love Can Break Your Heart; Southern Man; Till The Morning Comes; Oh, Lonesome Me; When You Dance You Can Really Love.

Will revisit this one. Definitely the right mood for a cold winters day when you need to get some things done. Would not call this a headphone album, but solid as a single piece of work.

Harvest edges this out for me, but it’s still strong, end to end: searing, cantankerous, but capable of tenderness.

I enjoyed the energy of this album, I would play this on a long road trip in the future. My favourite track is "Don't Let It Bring You Down". Nice and concise and doesn't out stay its welcome unlike some entries on this list. Minimal harmonica unlike "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan", which is a bonus in my books. 4/5 stars, not quite enough to get a perfect score.

i liked Southern Man, tell me why, and onlu love can break your heart

I never have a bad time listening to a Neil Young record. This one is soulful a mellow. Peak style for Niel. I enjoyed it a lot. Fav this time was "When You Dance You Can Really Love."

i really need to listen to the albums given to me in whole, and not just the first one.

good stuff

Love this album

quite a good album

Good, but I like the previous album more (with the band)

Enjoyed this! "Tell Me Why" "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" "Southern Man" and "Don't Let It Bring You Down" were my faves on here.

More of an On The Beach + Harvest fan but this is a great record too!

A few tracks tip dangerously close towards countrified schmaltz, but for the most part this is a compelling mix of soul-searching acoustics and righteously angry rock. Young is an outstanding lyricist and songwriter even if his vocals are an acquired taste. He's my biggest "discovery" of this tour so far.

Neil isn’t the best singer but is a damn good songwriter. I can understand people’s displeasure of him, but I’d argue that they don’t dive deep enough into his work. This is a classic album for a reason. So good.

This was fantastic. I’ve only got 3 Neil albums left after this and I’ll be sad once there aren’t any more to look forward to.

It's a nice easy listening album and it's a short album which I like. The lyrics are simple but impactful. Not life changing but pretty good. Standouts: "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", "Southern Man", "Oh, Lonesome Me", "Don't Let It Bring You Down", "Birds" and "I Believe in You"

Удивительно, но Нил Янг из прошлого умел делать хорошие альбомы. Это не то, что я намеренно поставлю, не то, что добавлю в библиотеку, но это намного, НАМНОГО лучше того, что он делал в 21-м веке. Местами бесит его голос, но даже в этих местах это все ещё можно слушать и не страдать. Не люблю Нила Янга за его поздние работы, я надеюсь, я умру до того, как они выпадут в этом списке. *** Произошло странное. Меня потянуло на повторное прослушивание и я хочу сказать, что этот старый Нил Янг не так уж и плох. Вполне возможно, что это будет твердая четверка. Так и случилось. 4/5.

Fantastic

Pretty good album, i wouldve never listened to it if not for this website tbh, i did have some albums of neil young but never tried listening to the guy lol. I rate it a 8/10

Southern Man, When You Can Dance I Really Love, I Believe in You, Cripple Creek Ferry

Surprisingly good

I didn't realize Neil Young could be so... Folk-y? Idk I enjoyed this a lot more than I would have expected. I don't always love his voice but the songwriting is pretty choice

cozy afternoon commute vibes.

I knew surprisingly more songs on the album than I realised

actually rly liked it!

Good album, has some of Neil Youngs best songs in it. His voice sometimes grates on me after extended exposure but at 34 mins this is a sweet spot. 4

Really good. I like it a lot 4/5

I am so sorry, but I do not like his voice :( I like the sound on Only Love Can Break Your Heart, my favorite for now. Love the guitar and piano from "Southern Man". Actually, a much pleasanter experience than the first album I tried last Friday (also from the 70s), with better melodies and a more cohesive vibe, 8.5/10.

Having listened to this during a snowfall and drinking coffee it hit hard. Great morning listen.

Like After the Gold Rush Don't like Neil Young's voice, but I like the songs themselves Like the melodiousness; like the piano-based ones better than the guitar Not crazy about harmonica Know Don't Let It Bring You Down from Annie Lennox, Love That song Love Birds

3.5/5

Gode gamle Neil

His weird plaintive warble is spot on in these songs.

learned a lot of new info about racism in the US in the last century, really recommend going through the lyrics on Genius and reading annotations. for that reason and also for its rock sound, which I just usually enjoy, "Southern Man" was the first one I added to my library. liked the environmental theme (relevant today, also the sound of the song makes it sound kind of like an acceptance), the different genres and also lyrically (that I also feel connected to it in a way) "I Believe in You"; "Cripple Creek Ferry" together with "Till the Morning Comes" for its simplicity (kind of reminded me of The Velvet Underground for some reason) giving the opportunity for interpretation and "When You Dance I Can Really Love" also gotta be one of my favs because unlike other songs in the album which are more abstract, this one just seems like an in moment feeling fullness realisation and anchoring of that feeling (the rock sound, also). I'd say my favs both lyrically and musically are "Don't Let It Bring You Down", "Southern Man", "Tell Me Why" and "When You Dance I Can Really Love". idk this all might just be bullshit tho (it's not) P.S. I was going through the lyrics of "Tell Me Why", and there's a line that goes "When you're old enough to repay But young enough to sell?" so i was wondering what that meant and Young himself legit just says "It sounds like gibberish to me, I stopped singing that song because when I get to that line, I go, ‘ what the fuck am I talking about?’ You know I don’t edit my songs." and it's so funny to me cause i was wondering the same

It’s a miracle that this album is so good and so listenable, so iconic, given how supremely annoying Neil Young’s voice can be.

There's some really great songs on here that feel like they have the potential to be life changing

prawdopodobnie najczesciej pojawiajacy sie na liscie artysta,a jednoczesnie nazwisko ktore nadal dobrze sie slucha, czyli kolejna odslona neila younga, tym razem trzeci w kolejnosci krazek z solowego dorobku artysty after the gold rush z 1970, nie znalem go wczesniej, bo przesluchalem debiut i od razu skonczylem do najbardziej popularnego nagrania czyli harvesta, a okazuje sie, ze juz na gold rushu potrafil on wyczarowac swoje unikalne brzmienie country rocka z elementami elektrykow gitarowych, sklad w duzej mierze sklada sie z czlonkow crazy horse, nawet pan stills sie pojawia wokalnie, podobnie jak z panem cohenem sluchanie tak gleboko dotykajacej muzyki jest trudno bolesne, gdy nie stoi sie na pewnym gruncie uczuciowym, tylko stapa po grzezawisku dziwnosci zwanym miloscia, a chyba to wlasnie after the gold rush bedzie najbardziej milosno zorientowanym albumem jaki sluchalem od pana younga, pomimo tego ze inspiracja do niego byl sceneariusz hiposowskiego ekologicznego postapo, a moze jedynie tak mi sie wydaje przez aktualne rozbicie uczuciowe, dlatego gdy wroce do normalnosci bede mogl przesluchac go sobie kolkejny raz i porownac czy nadal brzmial on tak romantycznie jak teraz, hajlajtowymi momentami byly tytulowy after the gold rush, i belive in you, wonderin i jedyny cover na plycie czyli oh lonesome me z najlymi fragemntami harmonijkowymi calej plyty, ciekawe jak sie zestarzeje ten odsluch

Feels like being wrapped in a blanket after a heartbreak

Well here's a thing. I really liked this. I don't know why. Its still the same voice, struggling at the top of the range, and overusing vibrato in places (I guess like Maria Carey it does mean you hit the right note twice every cycle). He's a good songwriter. I do think that Birds is a natural closing track though.

Southern man is a banger. The instrumentals really soothe me, but the voice doesn't as much.

I'm really enjoying this....... This is good music to just have playing....that sounds so dumb.....I need to stop doing these in the morning when my brain doesn't work properly yet......Probably the most I've fixated on lyrics recently, though most slid down my smooth brain....reads like poetry Tell Me Why After The Gold Rush Only Love Can Break Your Heart Oh, Lonesome Me Birds I Believe In You ....do I really like Neil Young ????

solid, i enjoyed this i like how weird and kinda bad neil young’s voice is it works in the space

Overall Rating - 4.44/5 (8.88/10). Not quite an "All Killer, No Filler" to get to 5 stars, but really excellent. The 90's bands need to listen to this to learn how to do melancholy without being angsty. Couple of standout songs to comment on. Southern Man: Why do we need to continue having this fight? It's still necessary today, and it shouldn't need to be. Only Love Can Break Your Heart: Brought me to tears, because I feel its truth in my soul. After the Gold Rush: So close to perfect that I can't help but get tears.

Liked. Always been put off Neil Young by his voice but some great songs on this

Amazing album to start my 1001 journey. Need more time to dig in Neil's music and lyrics.

1. Pretty good classic roadtripy sounding opener 2. Very slow and emotionally provocating song 3. (+) Pretty well written Heartbreak/Longing song 4. (+) pretty Rock based music somewhat close to Qotsa 5.

I always appreciate a NY project. Great, easily listen.

Nice

Oh, Lonsome Me is such a sad song, I love it. This is Neil Young at his best. Such a great songwriter.

Didnt know i liked Country? Or maybe I just havent to listened enough to this kind of country? Pleasently surprised!

What I most admire about Neil Young is his ability to punctuate his incredible lyrics and really make them stick out. They don't just lie there- his attention to writing excellent melodies allows that to occur. You can tell he has an ear for a tune- the title track's somber horn/piano duet, the grunge guitar on "Southern Man." Lovely album. May be his best

Country folk rock with a few songs I remember as my favorites of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. 1.5 songs made my playlist.

Neil Young is always a good time

Great

This list has taught me a lot, but what it's most recently taught me is that I love this kind of sound, artists like Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, etc. This is no different, just a little more rock-focused than those two. Neil Young has a very interesting voice to me, almost like The Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne with the register he sits in when he sings. I feel like some songs really stick out to me on this album as better than everything else, especially Southern Man and Only Love Can Break Your Heart, but everything in this album is pretty good at a minimum. The best part is Neil Young writing a protest song that pissed off Lynyrd Skynyrd.

An all time classic

The first three songs didn't do much for me, but then it picks up. These are all great: Southern Man Till the Morning Comes Don't Let It Bring You Down When You Dance... Cripple Creek Ferry

Enjoyable.

The title track is a masterpiece, as is Southern Man.

This is my favorite version of Neil Young.

I've noticed that Neil sounds like me at karaoke night, when I'm not too confident to belt out a storng falsetto. Aside from that, Southern Man's anger comes through its biting lyrics and heavy rock sound. (3.5-4)

A solid folky album. I'd listen again.

at first i were not really into this album but after third song that changed. overall it was pretty enjoyable listen

Not my type

Neil Young had to grow on me. I hated his voice so much for so long. Only deep into adulthood do I realize the power in that vulnerable falsetto. If you don't feel his songs in your bones, you might not be paying attention.

I used to feel about Neil Young the way a lot of people feel about Bob Dylan - like his songs, hate his voice. He is growing on me now, although I still prefer Dolly Parton’s version of the title track (and not just because I’d put better odds on her surviving an apocalypse).

Şarkıları beğendim yine dinlerim

Très bon

This record is a mixed bag but it has some of gis best tracks. “Southern Man” is an absolute banger. “Don’t Let It Bring You Down” is great and “When You Dance You Really Love” is fun too.

yup

wowwwww. genuinely amazing, southern man was my favourite track, not a genre i would usually go for but i suppose thats the point of this.

3.7

Really enjoyed some of the songs and the way he sang them. Especially liked: After the goldrush Only love can break your heart

Surprisingly gentle album from someone whose more rocking music I've always appreciated. Some very nice harmonies that echo the kind of stuff he was making with CSN&Y. Liked it more than I expected, but not quite 5 stars.

honestly liked pretty much every song except for maybe „tell me why” and „after the gold rush”. also, the guitar in southern man was phenomenal

Good Album, lots of hits and familiar songs, classic Neil Young.

really loved the first song the rest were all good but not something i see myself coming back to very often except in the summer. Tell me why was my favorite and my least favorite was sadly the title track being after the gold rush.

wow omg wow cool liked it but not thaaaaaaat much

Southern man hits hard! I prefer his work on Harvest, but he really is a special human with a lot to say. There are few artists that have the longevity and consistency in their body of work like NY. Only Love Can Break Your Heart is a beautiful song.

Neil Young is a good songwriter and sometimes sings very good and powerful stuff. I don’t think he has the pipes to carry some of these tunes, though. The stuff he harmonizes on is far superior to his solo voice alone. Still solid.

top song- tell me why.

Good in a lot of places I honestly am really surprised I liked it so much. Would be five stars if there weren’t so many eh songs.

Tell me why - phenomenal harmonies, primitive but clean production, great lyricism After the gold rush - great sounding upright, less keen on songwriting Only love can break your heart - pre-chorus has lovely chords, lovely harmonies in chorus, lures you into a simple tune and then puts twists on the very conventional harmony Southern Man - classic Neil Young driven guitar tone, yearning Till the morning comes - quaint, less keen on stabby chords and horns Oh, lonesome man - narrower mix for a more reflective and nostalgic song Don't let it bring you down - feels triumphant, love the powerful stabs, nice harmonics in the ending Birds - nice reverb and use of 7th chords When you dance I can really love - cool Bonham-esque drum sound I believe in you - like how the positioning of vocals in the mix in the first verse, like heavier compression on the acoustic cripple creek ferry - feels like end of a kids tv show, nice long fade out

This album (and Live at Massey Hall) always remind me that Neil is just a simple boy from North Ontario

Beautiful lyricism accompanied by affecting and tender vocals. Needs a closer listen in the future from me.

I started this damn thing hoping to find new favourite artists and albums, and behold my second pick has delivered just that. Not a dud track. The downers are gloriously miserable (Oh Lonesome Me, Birds), and therefore are my favourites

Very nice indeed!

Una banda conocida, con buenas canciones, pero no es para mi

V good

Excellent

I was obsessed with this when I first moved to Manchester so it's up there for me even if he does look like a sleep paralysis demon

Some more peak Neil young

84/100. Spectacular country rock record. It carries a charming simplicity that runs consistently throughout the album, making it feel both intimate and timeless. While it may seem minimal on the surface, it’s a surprisingly layered and emotionally rich listen.

151225 11:28 4 / highlights: only love can break your heart, southern man, when you dance i can really love, don't let it bring you down

Fantastic album, but like most of Neil's work, it doesn't quite get to the level of a 5 for me. It's like, there's a persistent feeling that it's not quite as good as it could be ... or as I want it to be. 4, but a very high 4. Side note: How have I not noticed before how much Wayne Coyne sounds like Neil Young?

I am almost allergic to Neil's voice, but I often really like his guitar sounds. And these are excellent songs.

4/5 - This might be one of those that could be a 5 if I was more familiar with it the whole thing, but given limited time to stew with it, I'll hold back and give it a 4. Young's songwriting generally ranges from really good to amazing, and this is no exception. The whole record sounds beautiful to me, so I'm bookmarking it for more listening.

At first I thought, this can’t be the real voice. Like someone trying too hard to be nonchalant like Bob Dylan but it didn’t work. But then the rest of the album was pretty solid.

Just a really good album

Tell me why: 3/5 After the gold rush: 1/5 Only love can break your heart: 4/5 Southern Man: 5/5 Till the morning comes: 3/5 Oh, Lonesome Me: 5/5 Don't let it bring you down: 4/5 Birds: 3/5 When you dance I can really love: 3/5 I believe in you: 3/5 Cripple Creek Ferry: 4/5 Wonderin: 4/5 Overall a great album, but most songs would be better with someone else singing, particularly when he sings falsetto.

Southern Man is such a great song. I love the distortion of the guitar in it. I also really enjoyed When You Dance You Can Really Love.

Never listened to Neil Young before. Or, if I have, I was never aware it was Neil Young. Can't say that I really recognize any of these songs... but perhaps some were vaguely familiar? Anyways, pleasantly surprised. Don't know what I was expecting, but I quite enjoyed this. Young's voice is a bit reedy in some tracks, but I've come around to it. Overall, though, very listenable album.

Vibey and good to have on for a relaxing drive or working. I didn’t necessarily save any to listen to again but as an album I thought it was cohesive and a great vibe

I dont know what I expected, but this wasn't it. Something about his voice caught me off guard. A lot of songs reminded me of "Old man" which isn't on the album. It's a great album but feels like he rehashes a lot of ideas.

I was pleasantly surprised by this album. I had not listened to any of Neil Young's solo work, but I knew of his work from Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young- and I consider myself a fan of their music. "Southern Man" was THE song of the album for me; in my opinion, it was the real standout. It has been hours since my first listen, and I still can not get the guitar solos out of my head. Truly beautiful work, a 5/5 song for me. More songs I like are the opener "Tell Me Why" and also "Only Love Can Break Your Heart". I feel as if the first half of the album was stronger than the second half. To me, it seemed like it kinda fizzled out towards the end...that is not to say the songs were bad. They, in my opinion, just did not match the quality of the earlier songs. I, however, did enjoy the fun and whimsy the closing song "Cripple Creek Ferry" brought to the album. Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush" was an immensely enjoyable listen, and I will be checking out more of his work in the future. 4/5

This album highlights Young's songcraft, which is strong enough to counterbalance his thin (but distinctive) voice and his at-times primitive guitar playing (a Neil Young guitar solo sounds like absolutely no one else's). His melodic and harmonic sensibilities infuse these songs with moments of drama; in Young's hands here a single melodic phrase or chord change can be gripping. The production on this record is somewhat stripped-down (especially on the more acoustic numbers) but that actually complements the emotionally bare nature of these songs. A couple of weak tunes (like "Cripple Creek Ferry") keep this album from being a complete masterpiece but the majority of these songs are among the best of Young's career.

I’m a fan of Neil young but have to be in the mood

Great album with only 1 or 2 stinkers. Melancholy is a decent description of the overall tone but it's still awesome.

This is a great album. I always forget how much I like Neil Young’s solo work.

Solos rip. A classic

Listen to again

Got it already

8/10 Don't let it bring you down and southern man and a whole bunch of neil young songs. all around a good day. 11-25-2025

chill morning listen

Full disclosure, didn’t actually listen to the full album today BUT I am still writing a review because I’ve listened to this album before and just want to rave about it. Every track feels so emotionally charged, you feel the deep sadness in “After the Gold Rush” and “Birds” and the absolute anger in “Southern Man.” On top of that, the harmonies elevate this album to another level. Personally “Harvest” is my favorite Neil Young record but this might be a close second. Favorite Tracks: After the Gold Rush, Only Love Can Break Your Heart, Southern Man, Birds, When You Dance I Can Really Love, Cripple Creek Ferry Sidenote: Neil Young took all of his music off of Amazon Music to protest against big ole Bezos and while it’s understandable, it means he’s kind of exited my rotation a little, visiting these songs on YouTube reminded me what I was missing out on.

годится

Det mest fascineranes med Neil Young e nok vokalen, tenk at den blei verdensstjerne. Fascineranes greier. Helt ok album sånn ellers.

Great song writing and wonderful district vocals with message

The titular song made me cry, 55 years later

I still can't stand Neil Young's shitty falsetto, but this is one of his better albums.

Nothing as visceral as “Southern Man” but that’s not bad.

I couldn’t find this album on Amazon music, but I was able to listen to it on YouTube, but had to put up with the ads between songs. Anyway, I get how Neil Young’s voice might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for me it works with these songs. I was already familiar with the songs After the Gold Rush, Only Love Can Break Your Heart, and Southern Man. This is between 3 and four stars for me. I will call it a four.

a very unlevel record. several tracks are asking for a skip, some are ok and then there is Southern Man which is only the reason for giving this 4 stars and not 3

Brilliant album, lovely voice. Really enjoyable and nice to listen to. After the gold rush being a particular highlight of the album.

7/10. Although the first half had simple melodies and grating vocals, the second half was pretty fun beginning with Oh, lonesome me. The harmonica was a nice touch!

Täitsa hea kuulamine. Neil Youngi vokaal võib üksikutel lugudel sutsuke tüütu olla ja siis ta tõmbab lambist välja ülihea rokkvokaali. Heliloojana on ta ka intrigeeriv ja ükski lugu siin polnud selline filler taustamuusika. Tugev plaat ja julgeks soovitada.

I sometimes struggle with Neil's warrble-y voice and generally prefer his rockers. A classic nonetheless.

Classic. Just so good, front to back.

Picked up this LP for a dollar recently. Not one of my favorites at this point, but still really great.

Undeniably excellent. I'm not always in the mood for this kind of music but when it hits it hits. Any time the Crazy Horse lineup is most of the musicians on the album it's a lock I'm going to like it.

Some timeless tracks on the first half, peters out a little

Not a big fan of Neil Young's music, but this album was surprisingly pleasant to listen to. Some very sharp commentary as expected from Young, but accompanied by above expectations music. I however remain not a big fan of his singing style, which for me drags this album down quite a lot. I was doubting a lot between giving this album 3 or 4 stars, but ended up giving it the benefit of the doubt. 4/5

Love Neil❤️

Great!! Always love some Neil Young! Great album, will need to add it to the rotation.

The album didn’t wow me as much as Rust Never Sleeps, but there were still a number of songs that I liked on the album

Only criticism here is that one track generated a southern anthem that continues to inspire generations of ignorance. Guess the cultural impact of this one is bonafide. The rest is quite listenable, pretty chill for Neil

Not quite a 5 star, but a good album. If I felt a little more melancholy, I'm sure this would hit harder. Favorite Songs: Southern Man, Tell Me Why

Love Neil Young!

My favorite of our Neil albums so far!

Tough to beat tracks 2-4.

Definitely one of my favorite Neil Young albums. Southern Man is the obvious standout. Although I have to admit to being annoyed by Young’s voice every once in a while, but the music is good.

Neil Young shouldn't work, thin falsetto, plinkly plonky songs and that weird round bass sound. His sound is as flat as an uncooked pancake, dropped on the floor. But music isn't just about perfection, the art is in what's wrong, what's weird. If you want perfection, listen to some A.I music. If you want some strange, lonely music that will make you feel tired, old and depressed, listen to Neil Young. Specifically Harvest, but this album is good as well

Very Dreamy and Harmonic yet still quite Real Feeling, Very Idea based songwriting If a bit repetitive, 8/10.

3.5/5

Favorite tracks: Southern Man, Tell Me Why, Till The Morning Comes, Birds

3-4

Another NY slay - knew most of the songs from Bruce Seymour assimilation

Southern Man is easily the standout track, but the album as a whole is still very good. I’d rate it immediately below Everybody Knows and Rust Never Sleeps

I really enjoyed this record. I was a bit weirded out by Only Love Can Break Your Heart until I realised that I recognised it from Saint Etienne's cover. Favourite tracks: Tell Me Why, After the Gold Rush, Only Love Can Break Your Heart, Southern Man, Don't Let It Bring You Down (check out Everything Everything's cover, it's ace).

Neil Young one of those artists, comes on and you just feel level. Easy listening and so good songwriting. Great album.

Beautiful album…perhaps a no skip. Not immediately an all time favorite but I want to revisit it.

Enjoyed this one. Lot of good lyrics and music and makes sense why he's considered one of the great songwriters

Good solid folky album, title track is a classic, the rest are pleasant

Another solid outing from Young. It's a great folk album, and easily 4 star material.

What a soothing album to listen to on a crisp October morning

A classic! I come back to Neil often, and I adore the first half of this album. It’s beautiful stuff. The latter half is a small climb down, but everything on offer hits. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

His voice was a bit off at first, but it grew on me. I recognized Southern Man and enjoyed the piano in the Birds. I see why this was on the list of classics.

-pretty good and chill

Pretty good. Some very good compositions some a bit less so, but sure they could grow on me. I do like it. Sounds really good

Not a note of pretension or artifice here.

Reminded me of the good old days back in high school!

Classic !

The middle of the road at its softest, the fierce Southern Man aside. A tender entry in Young's discography, but not as satisfyingly ragged as where he's about to go! Favourite tracks: After The Gold Rush, Only Love Can Break Your Heart, Southern Man, Birds

Lots of classics on this one. "Southern Man", "After the Gold Rush", and "Till the Morning Comes" are some favorites.

Love this one! Probably my favorite Neil Young record. Highlights: “Only Love Can Break Your Heart”, “After the Gold Rush” and “Southern Man”

Great songs, I’d never appreciated how good they were. Neil Young has a talent for writing but singing has never been his strong point. Don’t let it put you off, it’s a great album.

I expected to like this more than I did, just something about it didn’t fully click with me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still good, and I liked the themes and storytelling, I just had expectations that weren’t met because all I’ve ever heard was that this album was awesome and I didn’t think it quite got there. Another one where I wish that there were half-ratings because I want to give it a 3.5/5 (I’ll probably give it a low-end 4 on the actual page because I have to pick 3 or 4)

Jeg er ikke egentlig noen Neil Young fan (dog har jeg respekt for ham både som person og artist), men på denne skiva traff han noe. Tittelsporet kan jeg begynne å synge på til helt merkelige tidspunkt, som om det er noe trascendentalt og tidløst (i sin mest bokstavelige form) over det. Absolute perfection. A-siden er helt extremt sterk, selv Till the Morning Comes funker fjell i kontext som en outro. Nest best er nok Southern Man, som er det mest elektriske kuttet. Hver gang soloen og outroen kommer, lager jeg en henrykt grimase og ytrer et lydord fra en tegneserie jeg leste en gang. Markant drop på B-siden, nok til å trekke den fra perfekt score. Det er noen sterke sport der og, men også noen dips. Cripple Creek Ferry feks., hvorfor kommer det en tullelåt på slutten av et melancholsk album? Joda, den er litt catchy, men den er også ganske irriterende. Det er i grunn bare B-siden som kommer etter gullrushet, for A-siden er en gullgruve som aldri kan bli spilt ihjel.

🥰

A classic if you like Neil's music.

Rolling stone 500 albums -90 One of the most Neil Young of Neil Yooung’s albums. No filler and some great songs. No notes.

my fav of Neil Young! love the lyrics, I feel like it influenced so many contemporary artists

First 5 songs are all classics. Rest of the album sounds good. 4+ stars.

very happy cherry vibe, and nice melody

Easy listening with soft yet powerful instrumentals.

It’s been a while since I’ve listened to this whole album and I really think it’s as good now as it was back then.

Nunca dei muita atenção para o Neil Young, então eu realmente fui surpreendida por esse álbum; com certeza é o meu tipo de música. As que eu mais gostei foram: "Only Love Can Break Your heart", "Southern Man", "Till the Morning Comes", "Don't Let It Bring You Down". (Acabei de descobrir, fazendo uma pesquisa rápida, que eu já tinha uma versão de "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" na minha playlist. O cover é da Saint Etienne e, honestamente, eu preferi essa versão.)

хороший альбом но не мой фаворит от нила саузерн ман топ трек

so so good i love you neil young

I had no idea what Neil young sounded like and after 5 seconds I thought I might hate this… after 45 seconds I was in and didn’t doubt that again throughout. It sounds lovely and I now just have it on repeat because it is cozy in a way I don’t want to end

Been years since I listened to this one.

When it’s good it’s really good, but there were a few songs that kept it out of 5 star territory for me. Only love can break your heart, Til the morning comes and Oh, Lonesome Me were standouts

Gostei!

This is an example of an album that makes me love this project! I’ve never given Neil Young the time of day but know he’s beloved by many. What a surprisingly beautiful album. The song writing is so lovely, with some beautiful imagery. Can’t wait to be exposed to more Neil!

𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘙𝘶𝘴𝘩 is one of the great masterpieces of the Laurel Canyon scene. Neil Young’s fragile, high-pitched voice fits beautifully with the album’s mix of folk, country, and rock — never perfect, but always emotionally direct. Songs like 𝘖𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 and the apocalyptic title track capture both intimacy and urgency, while 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘯 adds political bite. The whole record feels raw yet timeless, a reminder that imperfection can be its own kind of perfection.

Probably one of the most influential musicians across many genres that followed. An amazing album that I wish I had more time to review.

Songwriting! Many understated but lovely introspectives put to simplistic acoustic unremarkable piano. Anchored by a legendary classic rock staple southern man remembered for its sharp cultural/social critique of the American South with crisp guitar solos and soaring/haunting vocals. Other highlights gritty harmonica on oh lonesome one. 3.6

4*

Classy sound of 60s

4/5. One of my top 3 NY albums. Always a quick and lovely listen.

Another excellent Neil Young album. Honestly he had one of the best decades of music an artist could have.

There are certain moods where this music truly resonates with me. It’s not something I reach for every day, but when I feel the need to immerse myself in a sound and shut out the world, it becomes the perfect escape. His voice has a soothing quality, and the songs carry a warmhearted sincerity that’s easy to sink into. On my first listen, Harvest Moon immediately stood out as a favorite — gentle, timeless, and deeply comforting.

Ja to po prostu lubię Neila Younga. Nawet kiedy wydaje mi się, że fałszuje i głos ma słabszy niż teksty to jest w tym tyle prawdy, że i tak wychodzę oczarowana. 8/10

Mid 8/10 má hodnotu vracet se Je to taková trošku kotlikovina po vetsinu casu klidnejsi ale chvilema i ne. hodilo by se mi to treba kdyz sedis a koukas na zapad slunicka nebo u taboraku or sum

delightful album, very heartfelt. not usually my speed but today it was.

Love it but my problem with the albums generally considered to be Neil Young's best are that they are kinda all over the place in terms of mood and sound which FOR ME makes it hard to place them as 5/5 even if I do like all the songs, which in this case I do. For me Zuma and On the Beach are the 5/5 in his catalog though I kinda doubt they are on this list Fav song: Tell Me Why which is either my first or second fav song by him (other contender is Cortez the Killer just fyi)

I feel for you Neil haters. They could at least spread these out a little more. Love this record. I've thought about or sung to myself "I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying in the yellow haze of the sun" at least once a week for the last 20 years.

First time listening to this whole album, and that's a mistake. This is where Southern Man happened. What an album.

Pretty good not the kinda Rick I was expecting but still still really good

Fun moments, very enjoyable. 4.

Bonita, embora muito simples secção de metais na After the Gold Rush. Aterra muito bem o caos que a envolve, dá certa forma

Neil Young när han är riktigt bra. Senare på 70-talet och 80-talet (undantag Rust Never Sleeps) låter han inte bra, men här... nära 5*

I think this is a really good album, even though it's not my favorite flavor of Neil. Parts of it I really like, but it occasionally sounds too much like Crosby, Stills, and Nash, which isn't a sound I'm that high on. Highlights for me are the title track, "Don't Let it Bring You Down", the "Oh Lonesome Me" cover and "When You Dance, I Can Really Love". The title track is possibly my favorite Neil song. Top 5 anyway. Strong 4 stars.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good album. Very prime Neil and his main essential one along with Déjà Vu with Crosby, Stills & Nash.

A réécouter pour mo

Hubby- When I was 21 I did acid and couldn't read my ipod screen to turn this off so it kept playing in my brain and hasn't really stopped. The chair in my dorm was huge from the bottom but small when I stood up 👍 4/5 because Neil has at least 2 better albums and I need to appear objective

I can't believe I've never listened to this full album, I disgust myself.

Great album overall, but the vocals sometimes are a bit grating.

Neil Young was big in my life as a kid, and I love his music, but as time goes on, his voice really becomes less tolerable. There's still a lot of good stuff here, so I'd recommend giving it a listen.

This is a good album. I can see why it's on the list, but it's not my jam. Pitchfork: n/a Rolling Stone: Top 500 Albums #90 Best Songs Tell Me Why After The Gold Rush Only Love Can Break Your Heart Southern Man Don't Let It Bring You Down

Pretty good. Really getting to see why he's so highly rated. He's miles clear of Dylan

Quite enjoyable! I love the small parts of brass instruments. Not a fan of his vocals though. 4/5

Super solid all the way through. Especially love his more politically charged writing.

Good but bland. Distorted guitar tone in When You Dance I Can Really Love is so yucky and great; iconic sound. The mix is so clear, it sounds like you're in the recording studio.

Early Neil Young album, hitting that folk sound pretty hard. Has the giant hit "Southern Man" on it, but most of these songs are at least somewhat familiar to me. Good record for sure.

Very good album. Some classic songs, but the less-known songs are great too. Neil Young is interesting in that I can understand listeners who think he sucks AND those who think he’s a genius.

Neil Young osaa kyllä puhutella. Hyvää folkkista. 4/5
