glorified country album. white line is the only song i enjoyed, most songs are far too long.
First 1 I’m handing out. Neill Youngs vocal inflections are not good and it seems like he’s always just a few Hz off his intended note. The instrumentals are fine but bland in my opinion. The combined package is just straight unappealing with mediocre songwriting, bad vocal performance and boring instrumentals.
Really bad country rock.
Day 145: Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Ragged Glory (1990) It's with dread that I put on this album. I debated with myself whether to review it at all, given how little I appreciate Neil Young's aesthetic, apart from his brief country period. Two minutes into the opener, Country Home, I am already regretting my choice. Young's guitar is as maladroit as ever and his voice has coarsened appreciably with age, losing any charm it might have had for me. Okay. I can see this is a lost cause. Because I can't bear to sit through this album, it wouldn't be fair to rate it.
just no.
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Über dieses Album kann ich einfach nur abkotzen. Ich habe beim hören versucht, herauszufinden, was ausgerechnet diese Platte so interessant macht, in diese Liste aufgenommen zu werden. Neil Youngs Gesang und die überflüssigen Dur-'Soli' über überflüssige Dur – Akkordfolgen (und er mag seine Dur-Akkordfolgen ganz offenbar) sind nicht einfach nur verzichtbar, sondern schlicht scheiße. Dieses Album klingt dort besser, wo Young nicht singt, und auch da klingt es nicht gut. Ich musste bei den „Kompositionen“ stellenweise an Kinderlieder zum Lernen des ABC oder der Zahlen von 1-10 denken. Neil Young ist krass überschätzt.
