On The Beach

Rusty Kershaw’s infamous Honey Slides dripping all over this

Hadn't heard this album before

Another Young album, and I still cannot fathom his voice. Additionally, this is way too much country folk for my taste.

Whining voice, hated it

Neil Young is a god-like talent. I did not know this album but enjoyed very much.

SEN. BUCKLEY CALLS FOR NIXON TO RESIGN

This is a good album. Revolution Blues is particularly good. This is very different from Harvest in a good way. After not loving Ragged Glory recently, this is a really welcome change. I think the angrier Neil Young gets, the less I like him. Laid back Neil is awesome. Motion Pictures (For Carrie) is immediately one of my favorite Neil Young songs, it's very personal.

Another good Neil young record, much better than his crazy horse stuff. Like the vibe, and his voice works despite the uniqueness. Laid back bluesy folky mellow rock and roll. Love it.

All time favorite

Great! What a beautiful voice Neil Young has. The music is light, both in it's melodies and the instrumentals, with few instruments and minimal production. It still has a sense of melancoly, though. It feels like I've heard the songs before, probably true in some cases, but mostly I think it's because the music is easily digestable. I should really listen more to the lyrics, didn't pay attention to them during my listen. The feelings I get from it are summery.

J - 3/5 Best Track - "Walk On" F - DNL

3/10

Incredible album, great guitar work, cool songs

I did not use a private spotify session for this one. Very moody music, not on the beach mood, maybe sitting on the prairie watching the prairie dogs, while wondering if this life is still worth living. It's not bad, just won't make it on rotation.

Rv/G

One of my faves

Was fine, nothin crazy. Short album so didn't get too repetitive. Best song: Walk On Notable(s): Vampire Blues

Meio melancólico, mas é Neil Young!

Not the best Neil Young has made, but definitely worth hearing.

I first heard this album years ago. Possibly around the time it was released on CD, and I hated it. In the intervening years, I have tried it a couple of times and it has grown on me. It’s very much a “be in the right mood” album. It’s not background music, it’s music to turn in on yourself with. Sitting down and actually listening to it today, I think I appreciate it a bit more for what it is. It’s the sound of a disappointed man reaching his breaking point. It’s rough around the edges which adds to the rawness of the emotions he is channelling, but it’s still a very consistent chill album. On The Beach (track) goes on a bit too long for me, and the low-fi mood continues throughout side two. I enjoyed side 2 less, and got shades of Sister Morphine by the Stones from Ambulance Blues. Including the length. Overall, it’s a bit of a mixed bag for me. It starts off well, but loses me at the end.

He’s always sang like an old man but somehow it works

Look, I'm just not a big Neil Young fan, okay? So maybe let's pump the brakes a little bit, just pick one or two of his albums, and be done with it. I actually liked a few of these songs more I than I thought I would. I attribute this to the stellar musicians around him, rather than Young himself.

Actually been a while since we've had a Neil Young album and this one started off great. I was thinking it was going to be my favorite from him. It actually seemed a little poppy, which I liked. Then it morphed into just another Neil Young album like the other 25 of them on the list.

Starts out very well with two amazing songs. annnnd the rest is fine. He really loves a song with blues in the title huh. it was great and then it turned into a neil young album

An underrated and neglected gem. Yes, I have it, but I could only buy it long after my Neil Young-era. It simply wasn't released on CD until 2003. And that's bizarre, because this is possibly one of the best if not the best - consistent - album in Young's catalogue. It's truly beautiful and extremely depressing to listen to. But there are such gems on this album: 'See the sky about to rain' with that wonderful arrangement of Wurlitzer e-piano and steel guitar, astonishing title track and the utterly painful 'Ambulance blues' - it's truly fantastic music. 5 stars and a welldeserved 10/10

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Beating a dead horse, but there’s no reason for this many Young albums, especially with how little variety there is between them

funky. wanna play this in the beach for sure

I didn't know this album. Nice

Another Young again ??? This one’s better produced, Neil’s whinny voice works well and the electric blues tracks like Revolution Blues and Walk On are really cool. The ending gets a bit too emotional for my taste, though I enjoyed a lot Vampires blues and On the beach. Nice overall, deep, not necessarily a masterpiece, but Young never really tried to make one,

One of Neil Young’s most Neil Young albums.

One of the greatest album of all the time.

Really good, love starting off with that quintessential California sound. Nothing stood out enough for me to be returning to this album but happy I listened.

Pretty, pretty good. Complete blindspot for me.

Fin og nærværende lille sag. Jeg nappede den i et lyt som bare føltes helt rigtigt!

Et ret hyggeligt Neil Young album

Great stuff even if I usuallly can’t stand Mr young’s singing

Pretty chill pretty fun

I like Neil young 98/100

Zuhause, Heidenheim, Deutschland. Läuft fein durch!

Just like every Neil Young album. Drab and pretentious.

6/10 Favorite: Walk On

'Some get stoned, / Some get strange, / But sooner or later / It all gets real.' Neil Young has always gotten real, but this record is indeed on the beach, a lighthearted fantasy, too winsome in spirit to be somber in truth, tho w/ a half buried car and overcast skies. It's hard to place Young, he's such a genre-bending artist, tho at the same time almost impossibly traditional: that's what makes it magic, I guess. 'All the bush league batters / Are left to die on the diamond.' I hesitate to call it Americana, that'd be to attribute symbolism to his lyrics, which isn't fitted. Like Hopper and Sinatra, he's a master of American solitude, but he's more mystical, and a lighter spirit. 'I need a crowd of people / But I can't face them day to day.' Gently straight.

Neil med den gode rock/singersongwriter mig

I liked the start but I got a little bored by the end Will I listen to again: 25%

nice album. I really like the first two songs.

It kind of just came and went I was listening to it. I'm not that familiar with Neil Young's entire output but I don't think this particular album belongs on this list and the rating reflects that stance. It's not particularly bad sounding to me but it doesn't stand out.

Really liked it, pop/jazz/rock album

Pretty good

Great set of folk country tracks, with every track containing a poignant commentary on some aspects of the state of Young's life at the time. That said while quite enjoyable, there is not much in the way of standout tracks or tight cohesion that would elevate this record, making it enjoyable but not an exceptional listen to those not absorbed in Young's self mythology

This is now Neil Young's 4th album in this project. When I heard it yesterday, I thought it wasn't that bad. Today I can't remember why I thought that. It doesn't seem to have made much of an impression on me. 3/5

Ok, not my thing but can appreciate the music.

I listened to this while hiking in the woods with my mom and dog. I felt like that was a good way to listen to the music because it was less distraction around me. I was able to hear the melodies that had a twang of melancholy but degrees of hopefulness. I did not grow up listening to Neil Young. In discovering this album, I discover parts of myself willingly and able to have new experiences.

Lacked the variation of his later albums

High: Motion Pictures Nothing stood out for a low.

Finally, a 5 for a Neil Young album. This one really just works.

Great mix between country and rock, i can see the grunge influence in his work

Always up for a little Neil Young! This album a nice combination of Neil the Grunge Rocker as well as the folksy singer songwriter. Always with a message that's worth hearing, Neil Young is a great writer as well as a great guitarist.

Neil had a great run of albums around this time and this is one of his finest. It’s just not as good as ‘After The Gold Rush’.

I should’ve listened to this On The Beach.

A pleasant surprise!

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Chill and comforting.

4.6 - Nice

Another decent Neil Young album, we can skip it from the 1001 though. 3.7/5

I liked listening to Neil Young, didn't recognize any of the songs but I've got a few new go tos for chill listening days! Didn't care much for the second half of the album, but hoping to have another neil young album to explore in the future

Instant 5. Very much my thing.

heißes Wetter Musik - es sind 35°C

This albums sounds was kinda all over the place. The second half was better than the first, surprisingly.

I didn't think I'd enjoy this album but it's actually pretty good

oh, well, I think he's done much better on other albums, such as the live record rust never sleeps.

3 stars. Kinda sounds like a great album, but I'm not sure any of it is about anything. Just some jammers jamming and a guy singing - Dad rock. But not in a bad way I guess... - I feel like this has all the pieces of a good album, but underneath the surface it's actually pretty garbage

Great album. Neil Young is one of the best lyricist. Enjoyable summer vibes

Not my favorite Young. Doesn’t have the oomph of some of his best. 3.5 Stars

I've been mostly a superficial Neil Young fan. Love his hits, singles and well known stuff. This album had none of that but it was still an enjoyable listen. Love that the album cover and name is juxtaposed with lyrics about alienation and sorrow and filled with pretty down beat songs.

I'm not a member of the Neil Young Haters Club.

Not Neil Youngs' best album by any means but still á solid albun

Another solid record by Neil.

Enjoyed this. It wasn't amazing but ill probably listen to it again.

I liked it a lot more than expected

Enjoyable - easy breezy. feels like it could be a grower highs: on the beach, motion pictures lows: none

it wasn’t bad, i listened to it on the way work while driving next to the beach so it kinda matched the vibe. would hear it again

Es ist ein Album, das zwischen Resignation und Rebellion pendelt. 1974 veröffentlicht, wirkt es wie ein musikalisches Tagebuch – roh, introspektiv und manchmal schwer zugänglich. Songs wie „Ambulance Blues“ oder „Revolution Blues“ lassen Youngs düstere Weltanschauung durchscheinen, musikalisch getragen von folkigen und bluesigen Arrangements. Die emotionale Tiefe ist zwar beeindruckend, der Zugang zu manchen Stücken jedoch eine gewisse Geduld verlangt. Es ist kein leicht verdauliches Werk – eher ein wankender Spaziergang am Rande des Abgrunds, für den man in der richtigen Stimmung sein muss.

meh

I thought I didn’t like Neil Young, turns out I just don’t like Harvest era Neil Young

joa anfang war eigentlich ganz gut aber dann irgendwie nichtmehr so

I really enjoyed some of the songs, especially the ones that were more upbeat and had a faster pace. Sometimes his voice sounded a bit shrill or the songs were slow and a bit boring, but overall I enjoyed the sound.

C’est non pour moi, je comprends l’intérêt mais ça me fait chier

Very good for alone slow sunset drives with no traffic

Det är något med Niel alltså. Det här är Americana så det skriker om det.

My favorite Neil Young album. Easy 5.

A pretty poignant day, so unsure how much that is influencing it but ‘Walk Away’ felt like the perfect opener for the day and lyrics so resonate and fitting (23/6/25). Loved the soul, lyrics and heart in ‘On The Beach’ (song) and felt a solid collection of songs, with a nice flow throughout. Helpful to know about the ‘Ditch Trilogy’ and makes sense of a lot of the themes and lyrics. The decline, isolation and existential themes throughout, as well as some more upbeat tunes and reflections. However, feels like the mood and sentiment declines as the album progresses. And maybe capturing of the journey, and also interesting the order was reversed on other editions (3.5)

Definitely not as good as his work with crazy horse but this was still quite enjoyable. It started off with a very catchy opening and basically went into a very bluesy guitar focused theme with folk and country aswell. A lot of it was a bit generic or just outright not good (for the turnstiles for example) but on the beach really stood out to me, it’s 7 minutes long and it felt very pink flloydy to me, it’s hard to explain but it’s the way the his vocals are and the drums, it kind of sounds like a song from wish you were here. After that though a more mellow folk song and then an 8 minute bluesy track which was quite a nice closer. Favourites: walk on and on the beach. Overall, 6/10.

In the course of this project, I have gone from being someone who didn't think much of Neil Young, to a listener able to appreciate his music, and with this album, his appeal has grown even further. While I liked Rust Never Sleeps quite a lot, and Harvest slightly less, this is the first of his albums that I really enjoy throughout. I just love the way it chugs along, making it ideal for afternoons on my terrace. I'm giving it five stars and adding it to my Tidal library.

I love Neil Young because he makes me feel like I could have been professional musician too; if Neil can get paid to sing, maybe anyone can. This album is full of the kind of misanthropic folk/blues/rock that I would have eaten up during my frequently mentioned Classic Rock Phase(TM). Unfortunately, I never made it past Buffalo Springfield or the popular notion that Neil’s solo catalog was as hit-or-miss as it was diverse. Case in point - a song from his newest album, Talkin to the Trees, was recently suggested as the worst song of the 2025. Ouch. Fortunately, this album feels like it falls on the opposite end of the spectrum. First listen standouts for me include “Revolution Blues” and “On The Beach”. The former feels ripe for a good cover, and the latter has a groove I could swim in for much longer than it’s 7min runtime (which feels absolutely wild to say about a song that long). I’ll also give an honorable mention to “Walk On”, but it has an aggressively Niel Young vocal performance that could turn away casual listeners right away. But here again, the track feels ripe for a good cover. I was excited that this could be my first no skip album of the project, but “Ambulance Blues” blew the no hitter in the ninth inning. And if we’re skipping one, then I might consider skipping “See The Sky About To Rain” as well, if only because it’s keeping me from all the tracks I like in the heart of the album. Maybe we axe Ambulance Blues and move this one towards the end for a more bulletproof album? Overall, this was a fun discovery, and a nice way to start my Sunday morning. I can see myself revisiting this album, and I look forward to more Neil Young in this project (at least Harvest, I assume).

Great album, love Neil young not my favourite of his but still excellent

7/10 I’ve never really listened to much Neil Young outside of the radio hits, but I liked this. I do listen to a bit of early blues here and there and there are obviously big echoes of some of that music in here. The title track is a bit of a standout for me, but there are some other really good tunes in there too. In retrospect, Walk On is a bit of an odd album opener as the rest of the album is definitely more melancholic and bluesy, even on the more upbeat cuts, but perhaps that just goes to emphasise the emotion throughout the rest of the album. I’m pretty sure I’ll be back to this one as I enjoyed my second run through more than my first. Walk On - What a great little opener. I really like the transition between the pre-chorus and the chorus. It’s got a really nice swagger. See the Sky About to Rain - Big echoes of Heart of Gold in the vocal for this one for me. Nice song though. I’m a sucker for an electric piano and the Wurlitzer on this is lovely. Revolution Blues - A nice change of pace, this is a really great track. It’s got a good groove but is also somehow a little sinister. For the Turnstiles - I like this too. It’s got an old-school blues sound. Simple, but effective. Lacking in anything bassy which makes it sound a bit thin. Vampire Blues - Another decent bluesy number. Really like the chorus on this one. On the Beach - Immediately sounds more melancholic. This is one for when you’re wallowing in your own self pity. I love the dark, smoky atmosphere this evokes. There’s a little bit of hope and optimism that seeps through here and there. Dark times with a hint of dawn in the distance. Motion Picture (For Carrie) - This one was ok. A bit more pedestrian without the depth to some of the other tracks. Liked the harmonica solo. Ambulance Blues - I liked some aspects of this, others less. Liked the violin, but I’m not keen on this type of harmonica playing. That sort of rhythmical blowing on chords without picking out a note just sounds a bit lazy to me. This was too long as well. Thought int was finishing and there were three minutes left.

His voice is kinda eh but i can dig it. Surprisingly bare feeling, after all these albums with so many harmonies. This is a guy in his yard on a campfire thats kinda annoying about stuff

good shit, i like this one more than the last i think he’s got such a cool voice and is a great guitar player, calm but light and enjoyable for sure yet again reminds me of my dad!

Liked "See the Sky About to Rain," "Vampire Blues," and "Ambulance Blues." Enjoyable, but likely won't return to it.

Meh

A true gem from one of the greats!

Neil Young continues to confound me. I've been left pretty cold by most of his solo albums that I've heard in this challenge, yet I love his work with Buffalo Springfield and CSNY. I had very high hopes for "Harvest" and was let down, but I was blown away by "After the Gold Rush." I didn't quite know what to expect from Young's beach album, but I assumed it would be a fairly lighthearted and forgettable affair. Once again, he defies my expectations. If this is someone on a beach vacation, he's going to bring down the mood of the entire group pretty quickly. But I actually really love the bleakness of this album. Apparently part of his "ditch" trilogy where he was rebelling against his own fame and clearly in a bad place. There's nothing in particularly groundbreaking about it, it's just pure raw energy and good playing. So confusingly, I find myself liking Neil Young once again. This leads me to to the uncomfortable question of whether I only like Neil Young when he's depressed. I hate to be the kind of fan that wants the artists to keep suffering for their art, but Young really does seem to make his best works when he's down.

Sorry, this just isn't doing it for me. I can tell it's not that bad or anything, just... really not my cup of tea.

I don't think this is the best of Neil Young's albums, but it's no doubt to me that, even here, he captures something that folk artists have been trying (and often failing) to recreate to this day. Definitely returning to this.

A blistering and yet haunting look into Neil Young's psyche at the time of recording. Filled with bitterness, loathing, and misery, this album is a cathartic release of everything Neil had pent up over the years, via tender folk-rock ballads, searing electric blues, and plenty of guitar and organ workouts. A must-listen for sure!

At first it had good vibes, then it almost put me to sleep. Blah.

Neil Young was sadly not the vibe today. Now, the instrumentations and atmosphere were actually pretty great! I just don't think they were unique enough to warrant tolerating Young's singing style, which felt more like rambling than anything else. For The Turnstiles was an especially rough listen. I'm sure I could eventually warm up to this album and enjoy it, because it certainly had some cool stuff going on. Maybe a future Neil Young project will win me over, who knows. Standout: On The Beach

It took me a long time to get into Neil Young but I'm glad I did. I think he's at his best when he's raging at society, but I prefer his music when he's lost and disaffected rather than angry.

Another phenomenal Neil Young album. 2/2 on this list so far, maybe I never gave him enough credit before this list.

Folk-y, country-esque, rock. It was fine, didn't really stick out to me. 2.4

hermoso

I’d never heard this Neil Young album before. I’ll need to listen to it again to rate it any higher than a 3 though, wasn’t paying attention enough to the lyrics. But it’s not Harvest.

Neil Young’s voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard in my ears. He’s in my top five of artists who cause me to change the channel. I know he’s supposed to be one of the greatest, but not to my taste. His songwriting and personal take both strike me as whiny. Motion Pictures was the only song here I would listen to again.

This was a complete gem. Neil Young is up and down with his albums, but this one was a treat.

umas coisas que dá pra enxergar a influência clara que teve em bandas como led zeppelin. tem coisas dele que eu acho que vou gostar mais, mas muito bom.

It's fine I guess 2.5

First half is amazing 4.5

3.5

Good album. I was surprised, since I don’t really like folk, but this took rock and it felt like it may have reinforced folk as more of a rock genre. I like it, and I highly recommend.

Super fine Neil Young album.

Heerlijk album. Moest ik geen nier moeten verkopen om hem deze zomer live te zien, zou ik geen moment aarzelen. 4.6

Funny album

i liked the tracks the further into the album i listened. favorites = on the beach, motion pictures (for carrie)

One of his best. Excellent muddy blues proto-stoner rock.

Maybe it's the hot, sunny day talking, but the beach sounds like a good time - and so is this album. I haven't been the biggest fan of Neil Young's solo work, but this one hits like a cold drink on a midsummer day. Favorite track: "On The Beach"

An enjoyable listen, mellow tunes.

Okay this does feel like I’m on a beach! Very good but still feels easy, low stress. Great album for a travel day. Really matches the album cover art too. So far really liking it. Seems like something I’d listen to in one sitting and enjoy but nothing was a super standout

Embarrassing that I've never listened to this, I really like it. Highlights: On the Beach, Ambulance Blues

Chill easy listen. Sometimes melancholic sounding but more pragmatic? Favourites: vampire blues, on the beach, motion pictures (for Carrie)

I had to listen to this twice because the first time it didn’t hit how I thought it should, and I am so glad I did. I loved the stripped back sound in this album. At first I thought this album was quite sad but on second listen is absolutely is not! Fav songs: For the turnstiles, Motion Pictures (for Carrie),Ambulance Blues

I didn't mind it

This album in all its groovy rock glory, has no misses. It’s Neil at his best for me. With settled jams, hard hitting poetry and a vibe to beat all others.

Light four Love the algorithm for this thing! Don’t get but one Neil Young album for the first 500 days of this thing, but now I get two in one week! It’s harder to really appreciate them when I get them so close together like that, but I still listened to this twice through and tried to appreciate it on its own. Tbh, it’s more of the stuff I liked last time! It’s not too different! It feels super influential to music and bands I like nowadays, so I’m gonna rate it p highly.

Love. Awesome sound. Blues country folk. Nice guitar solos. NT Katherine

My ears and mind are totally tuned into Neil Young. I love this record! It’s crazy to think that many people hadn’t heard this until 2003 when it was re-released.

..

Enjoyable, well presented, but slightly unremarkable.

This hit

The Neil You music I listened to as a child was whatever albums my older sister had. Unfortunately this wasn’t one of them. Love the lyrics.

Neil Young is always good.

Lagom Neil Young bara. Någon bra låt. Lite gnällig. Hmm.

Really enjoyed this one, the opener is a real head swaying bop of a folk rock song. The harmony vocals in the chorus between the hits of guitar over the kick drum hit so hard. The little break before the second verse is exceptionally good. Love the wurlitzer and slide guitar on the second track, theres a bit around 50 seconds where they play together in such a satisfying way. Then the closing three tracks are a real nice string of slower paced songs that just have this lovely heavy drift to them, you just get lost in the worlds they create. Will definitely be listening to this again in the future. Favourites - Walk On, See the Sky About to Rain, On the Beach, Motion Pictures (For Carrie), Ambulance Blues

Not gonna lie, when I saw that 3 songs on this album ended in the word ‘blues’, I shouted ‘Oh Fuck Off!’ Out loud (to no one in my empty flat). First half of this album is fairly listenable. Second half is utterly bland and forgettable. Some of the guitar work was fun, and Neil is a good singer. But yet another early 70s artist cranking out album after album of pure mid who would have been far better served dropping and album ever 2-3 years and actually saving the ‘good’ tracks for a better album. Do we really need an 8 minute track about riding in a fucking ambulance?! Walk On (7/10) See the Sky About to Rain (7/10) Revolution Blues (7/10) For the Turnstiles (7/10) Vampire Blues (5/10) On the Beach (5/10) Motion Pictures (For Carrie) (5/10) Ambulance Blues (5/10) 6/10

Meh. Didn't feel like I was on the beach

bit of a snoozefest really...

Loved it! Liked Neil before but have never done a deep dive, so this was a great album to start with

A classic. I hadn't heard all the tracks. I love it

Great

I’m not sure I’ve listened to an entire Neil Young album before. I enjoyed it more than expected. See the sky about to rain was my favorite.

They should really call this the 956 Albums To Hear Before You Die Plus Neil Young’s Whole Fucking Discography. Christ all mighty, how many of this cunt’s albums do I really need to hear????

An album called "On the Beach" with no tracks akin to "Who Let The Dogs Out?", "The Thong Song", or "Kokomo." An album called "On the Beach" where 38% of the song titles have the word "Blues" in them.....and are really not that bluesy. An album called "On the Beach" by a folk rock legend from Canada... Is still a great album. No weak points at all, nothing really stood out, but I'd still spin this again and again. Starting to think all Neil Young albums are 4+ stars.

Et av mine favoritt album of all time. Musikk å cover art, i en egen klasse. «And I still can hear him say: You're all just pissin' in the wind You don't know it but you are. And there ain't nothin' like a friend Who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind.»

Nice!

To dull. So are some of Young's albums that I like. But nothing hit me on this album.

Lovely! Not exactly my jam, but I appreciate the artistry.

See the sky about to rain - nice song Revolution blues - Nice guitars Motion pictures - nice harmonica

Not my favorite Neil Young record, but it's not bad.

I know he’s a titan and it’s a well made record but too depressing for me to listen too often

Powerful writing, singing, and production. All hallmarks of an excellent folk/singer-songwriter album. It's as if every second of this record was recorded with intention. There isn't really a wasted moment. This makes me extremely excited to listen to more Neil Young. Standout tracks include "See the Sky About to Rain", "Revolution Blues", the title track, and "Ambulance Blues".

Pretty enjoyable and relaxing soundtrack for my Friday morning. I’ll be honest that I’ve never really listened to Neil Young much at all. If more are like this, I'll be happy

Not my favorite Neil album, but as always he wears his heart on his sleeve and it comes through loud and clear in his music. In this period he was feeling listless, disillusioned, and burned out.

nicht bei amazon

Just such a vibe

Nice easy listen, enjoy the songwriting a good amount, folklore-heavy and metaphorical. I think the blues cuts are by far the strongest in the album, however, with some great, simple, and more recognisable lyrics and production choices. I don’t see why the album is called ‘On The Beach’ either, considering it isn’t a very summery or upbeat album; maybe that’s the irony! The title track, however, is phenomenal and the drum production on it is really satisfying. Still, somehow my first introduction into Neil Young’s prolific catalog, but I feel he has way better out there for me to try.

Helt okej, kände inget wow men kan tänka mig att den skulle växa på mig om jag lyssnar fler gånger.

Hate the voice, but like the songs. And the rough production.

bom demais, classiqueira

amei country album muito legal do neil young 2 musicas gostei bastante,

Listened before?: No Good but not entirely memorable.

Oh, Neil Young. CSN&Y meant so much to me growing up. But I just don’t vibe with your solo stuff. I see the songwriting prowess; the sound does nothing for me though.

Really should’ve given this album a little more time, only gave it one quick listen. I thought I few of the songs were pretty similar to the Beatles but apart from that I found it underwhelming. My favourite song was ‘motion pictures(for Carrie)

This was a great listen, loved the mix of folk and blues, it feels like nostalgic or melancholic, Young's voice delivers that emotion even stronger. I really liked it, it felt really cohesive (although his lyrics are a bit amnbiguous at times). I felt the second half worked particularly well, it encapsulates the vibe really well, with songs that are a bit more fleshed out. The last 3 songs back to back are great, beautiful and moving. It's very difficult to pick a faovurite out of the 3.

The album grew on me as it progressed. The last two tracks were lovely. I found some of the album unmemorable. 3.5/5

Love reading the reviews for a Neil Young album because most of them are either 1/5: worst thing I've ever heard. he probably smells bad. somebody warn me next time so I can prepare my ear holes for tepid caterwauling 5/5: neil is a visionary and he has bewitched me body and soul. I want him This is a middle of the road Neil Young album for me, which is still a damn good album. His voice isn't THAT bad, but as a longtime Springsteen fan, maybe I'm just desensitized...

Unimpressive

Who knew the beach could be such a sad and lonely place?

One of, if not the, first grunge albums. Dark and heavy - especially the lyrics. Would be insanely better on vinyl. Still, not even Uncle Niel's best work. 2.5

Bra, men litt ujevn. (Some mange Neil Young album er).

Lenge siden jeg har hørt. God plate. Vaket mellom 3 og 4 hele veien, men landet til slutt på 4 siden det er Neil Young

Digg plate, men "walk on " har jeg aldri fått taket på. Coveret er så som så. Virker som det er kasta sammen på et kvarter.

Glad i han Neil. Lenge siden sist med denne plata. Jo, noe blues her også. Tittellåta er blant mine favoritter.

The title track is beautiful. Definitely adding this album to the rotation.

first listen music 4 voice 3

One of his best. 4.5/5

Neil young, album tranquilo tipo rock, blues con country me gusto a la segunda ves que lo oí, trae voz algo quebrada que no parece traer mucho proceso, guitarra, bajo, batería, harmonica, banjo. Clima es como serie de Apocalipsis todo desolado tipo the last of us escuchando en el auto

Folk rock mellowness, with catchy songs containing more troubling lyrics. Loved it

Ok album, uten at jeg blir helt revet med. Er ikke så glad i vokalen til Young. Fungerer best på tittelsporet.

Good! 3, not what I would automatically put on, favourite song: vampire blues!

Meh, not my jam, but not terrible. I did find myself wanting it to be over though.

i love the music. cheery beats. Creative song names. I honestly didn’t expect to like this album cause it’s so old, but the guitar is too good.

Pretty good, this is a Neil Young album I haven't heard before.

Repeat nummer twee. Wel weer een goed album, dus in dat opzicht is het niet zo erg

quite enjoyed this one, never listened to neil young before so this was nice!! i liked the vibe, the harmonies in for the turnstiles were nice and i liked the instrumentation in each song 🤓 what the music gcse, vampire blues has got to be my fav

This was such a lovely vibe . I had a cheeky evening listen and I really really enjoyed it . The guitar was very fun and groovy . I really loved the country vibe to it . Such an easy listen . Every song was different but still fit into the album very well . Favourite song was motion pictures by far it was bloody lovely . Glad I had an album which didn’t make me feel like I wanted to rip my ears off ( like yesterday ) . Loved it . Very very solid album . Also never heard of Neil young . So it’s a win win .

gonna give myself half a strike because i couldnt finish, ex's favourite album so major trauma xxx

One of Neil's more haunting records, no major hits in this one, but the songs are captivating. Pretty much a blues record, his voice is shakey, the production raw, has a live feel to it. Part of Neil's peak era and a 5 star for me

Listened twice, and surprised myself my enjoying more than I thought.

Album 774 of 1089 Neil Young - On The Beach (1974) Rating : 4 / 5 My enjoyment of Neil Young has been established and this one doesn't do anything to change that. A bit more gritty.

Reminds of old west America, I like the harmonica, nice, slow and nostalgic, 3.5/5

I think Neil Young is a twitter yapper born 50 years too early. There seems to be a lot of vague jabs at critics, lots of lyrics coming from a bitter place. I’m not too sure this deserves a spot on the list. Unless you’re involved in the career drama of Neil Young, a lot of this might pass right through your ears - it did for me. I liked the twangy guitar and the baseball reference on “For The Turnstiles”. I also appreciated the melancholy, low-lying mood of “Motion Pictures”. That’s about it though. I don’t have much to say for this one, nothing stuck with me.

liked

Neil Young at his darkest, lowest and most strung out point? The band, wrecked beyond belief, staggers between fury and despair with a bass and drums-forward mix - the guitars, keys and vocals scratch and scream in and out. Until the beautiful acoustics come in. I've used the word "and" far too often, but it is necessary for this dichotomous album which lives in the spaces created by division - personally, politically, socially, emotionally, musically... Amazing lyrics. "The world is turning, I hope it don't turn away" Favourite tracks: See The Sky About To Rain, Revolution Blues, For The Turnstiles, On The Beach, Ambulance Blues

It's Neil Young.

I never bothered with Mr Young prior to this list, but he's become my favorite discovery. I was not expecting much from this album because it wasn't on any of the best of Young lists I was going through but it might be my favorite after Everybody Knows This is Nowhere. Neil has taste above all else. This album is dripping with a melancholy that could get old even on the short runtime but the blues is used so effectively and the instrumentation is so great. Vampire Blues and the title track were the standouts to me. I know Young went through a string of awful albums but I'm grateful I haven't found them yet.

Man, it must be hard to fill out a list this long.

I like Neil Young but I have no idea why this particular album made the list.

6.5/10

I loved the vibes here. Thank you very much, Neil Young

Neil, Neil, Neil. I like this one. A little dirty, a little grungy, a little greasy, nice and slow. I'm thinking mostly about the title track. The whole thing sounds a bit like he's fronting The Band or a really early version of The Eagles, maybe? Does this one fly under the Neil radar? I never hear anyone talk about it, I might not have ever even heard of it until this list generator pushed it to me. Pretty much an insta-add to my library.

It’s Neil Young, in his prime, what’s not to love? Great album, with not too many flaws. This always seems to be the Neil Young album that people say is their favourite because it sounds cooler than liking Harvest…well, I love Harvest and it’s my favourite, but this runs it pretty close.

As usual, I start a Neil Young album thinking “ergh” and then it warms on me until the second listen where I don’t want to turn it off. Not my favourite of his albums I’ve listened to, but as usual I like it. Rating: 3

Dad- 8 Mom- 5 Mike- 8 Lori- 9 Michael- 9.5 Miles- 5 Cole- 6 Avg- 7.21

This was a cool album. Also kind of like they pulled random words out of a hat and had to write a song about that random word in 10 minutes or less.

No commercial hits on this album, but still a nice mellow sound.

Seems I quite like Neil Young...

Piękna płytą. Warstwa liryczna genialna, muzycznie też niczego sobie. Głos przeszywa mnie jak szpilka. A See the sky is about to rain chwyta mnie za bebechy i serce jednocześnie. Niektórzy się pewnie nudzą, ale nie ja. Mnie to zachwyca. 9/10 (głównie ze względu na ten jeden utwór).

Min husgud, känns lite överskattat.,. Blir seg efter hand

4/5

I like Neil Young - not an artist I had any background in until the last decade this is my first listen to this album and I think I'll go back to this. None of the well known hits but plenty to enjoy.

☀︎pas pire ☀︎pas fini 3.5

Not my vibe, but still some nice songs.

You can hear the roots of so much current indie folk in this album. A wonderful Listen in its own right. Warm and full of peace.

I generally have a high tolerance for Neil but this cut right through it.

Been doing this a while and I don't think "right artist, wrong album" could be more true. Love Neil but this album is just mediocre at best.

This was fine. A little too "laid back" for me. Neil Young's voice to me is often wavering and is almost whiny in this album (he has some songs that counter this that are not on this record.) It isn't bad. I just found myself bored at times. The instrumentals are solid. Nothing flashy, but not bad. "Walk On" was the best track. Liked Songs: "Walk On" , "Revolution Blues" , "Motion Pictures (For Carrie)"

liked songs: Walk On, Revolution Blues Good. The slower songs are definitely less interesting. 3

An album that is one of the peaks of Young's career. It was so emotionally painful for him he didn't even allow its release on CD for decades after its initial run. It was worth the wait for those of us who weren't around to get the original run. The hippy dream is dead in a fug of murders and drug abuse. Young laments this with a collection of dark, maudlin songs with an occasional country lilt. I love this album and it's one of the best from one of the 20th century's greats. Best Tracks: Walk On; Revolution Blues; Ambulance Blues

Dislike him as a singer and human being. People must be tone deaf what are they hearing. Sounds worse than a cow caught in a hail storm.

It's fun for the vibe.

Good easy listening album

Here's an album that I've actually already listened to many times all the way through. easy 5 for me just because of that. The title track is one of my favorite NY songs.

Pleasant. Not particularly memorable but it’s nice.

Clearly the best at what he does but I've no interest

Haunting beauty in the lyricism and ballads but man those upbeat songs miss hard

3,5

Listened Before? N He has such an awesome voice. Old or young, he sounds the same. This is NY in his prime and it aged perfectly. Not as protest-y as some of his earlier stuff is my only gripe but I still really liked it. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Revolution Blues

Walk On is one of my favourite Neil Young songs.

I've never really liked Neil Young's music and my tolerance for CSNY-type folk/country rock is pretty low, but this album was nice to listen to. Very laid back with some blues which gives it a different vibe. I liked this one. Maybe I'll give Harvest another try.

If an individual likes Neil Young, I guess it is Ok . . . But, it was nowhere close to being characterized as being a 'classic' or as enjoyable as so many of the songs from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

None

Though my problems are meaningless That don't make them go away

Beautiful album. It’s making me nostalgic for something I never experienced.

I started writing a review suggesting it was a little bland, but then I listened again and I realised I like it. The bluesy tracks particularly stand out. I’m going to listen more and really settle into it.

Utterly boring, with awful cartoon vocals.

Be so zwösche drü ond vier stärne. Hed einigi gueti wie Walk on aber nüd wo mega usestecht. Es werd aber drom klassisch ufgrondet.

He has much better albums.

I didn’t hate it

Great album, not mind-blowing for me but it was really enjoyable while driving and the fact that the mix is so rough makes it lovely

Easygoing, reminds me of The Eagles

Feels like summer (duh). Beautiful vibe at the right time.

Walk On is boppy. For the Turnstiles is surprisingly bluesy. Also sounds a lot like The Chain by Fleetwood Mac. All of the songs are surprisingly bluesy. Makes sense given that a bunch of them are NOUN Blues. I guess I thought that Neil Young was supposed to be more folksy.

So many sad and melancholic songs on this album.

Ihan huippu Neil tuotannossa!

See the Sky About to Rain is great

Already like the sound as soon as first song started decent album for background music Neil young always a win

Super cool to see this one early on in this journey, and I'm really glad and almost a bit surprised it was included on this list. I feel like it is one of the more underrated albums of Neil's classic era, but it is easily my favorite of his, and absolutely deserving of the recognition. The songs and album flow are very strong and overall it has a very relaxed, late night kind of vibe to it. Reading about the album certainly supports this, as Neil has frequently mentioned the influence of "honey slides" on the sound...a marijuana and honey treat the band was constantly consuming during the recording, which certainly helped bring a more mellowed out and hazy sound. My favorite track is probably between "On The Beach" and "Ambulance Blues", but I feel like I could almost make the argument for any of the tracks to be a favorite. Just a wonderful album for which my love grows on each and every listen.

I have not heard much Neil Young. I am familiar with the hits that were standard fare on the classic rock stations but have never listened to an entire album by him. I find this ok. The music is pleasing especially the acoustic guitar playing. The lyrics on the majority of the songs are just so-so to me. 2.25/5

Heck yeah. Any day I get a Neil album is a good day. I wasn't familiar with this album at all but I think it's really good. Thanks generator for giving me another solid.

I think i like Neil Young a lot more than I knew before I did this. Damn this is good.

I kind of felt "ok" about this one, but this is one of the records I'm going to give a second listen to see if anything sticks out to me. I had been looking forward to hearing Ambulance Blues, but it didn't really grab me. 𝘈𝘯 𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘰 𝘴𝘰 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵

I don't have memories that are specific to Neil Young. I only knew one of the songs on the album, but I think that Young's voice has become so ubiquitous in my musical world that it is almost always comforting to hear.

Only listened to 4-5 songs, but great stuff.

Very good. Good stuff! Rock and roll 🎸

Neil Young a big blind spot for me. I think I have liked all the Neil Young songs I have heard in my life, but I have never done a deep dive or even listened to a full album, I don't think? Excited for this one. Walk On > See The Sky About To Rain > Ambulance Blues > For the Turnstiles > Revolution Blues > Vampire Blues > On The Beach > Motion Pictures for Carrie Oh yeah okay there are some duds on here but wow the first two tracks had me thinking this was gonna be a 4. Walk On is really good. Also an 8 song album? Come on, where's the value, Neil my man??

I’d never heard this before and I have to admit I loved it!!!

not really a fan of his voice

Felt more personal than Rust Never Sleeps. More folky, too. Didn’t click with me the same way, though. Will have to listen again.

Zweites Album von ihm, das hier auftaucht, nicht so meins, aber bei weitem besser als After The Gold Rush.

My dad loves Neil Young. I find his music pleasant enough, but I've never quite understood it. This album reinforced that.

slowly climbing out from under depression and overload, finding ways to accept it all, and keep on going. “I’m deep inside myself, but I’ll get out somehow,” beautifully bleak

was a 4, had to change to a 5, easily my favourite album generated after a month

The best side A

revolution and vampire blues were notable but this is generally kinda whiny

Very chill. I listened on a beach

From Upbeat to slow melodies, this album has a good range of moods. Feels like a sunny day at the beach sadden as a sun shower whips through Stand outs; Walk On. See the sky about the rain, Revolution blues, vampire blues. On the beach

I nearly made the mistake of writing this album off during track 1, because it sounded upbeat and less haunting than my favourite Neil Young tracks (I don't know many). But its quality became apparent. I've come to Neil Young later in life, and I'm enjoying the process of discovery. Even where the energy might seem to dip, if you engage your brain the beautiful guitar-work and intensity remain. His songs are deceptively simple; there is much to hear and feel.

I don't like these types of songs. Listened to 2 songs, find it very boring. Sorry for not being cool xD

I grew up listening to Neil Young, but my dad never played this album for me. It's Neil's blues album, which is fine. However, I prefer his music that's closer to rock n roll. The only track that stood out was Revolution Blues.

Nice

Местами шёл тяжело (в начале). Понравился Revolution Blues.

Depressy spaghetti

beavis stop eating all the cigarettes

I love the blues!!

Chilled and mellow. Good songs, well played. Made walking around Tesco almost bearable. But the bloke can't sing in tune. Sounds like a pub singer. I'm interested to see how he can command a young Glasto headliner audience in June with this sort of slow dirgy stuff.

3.5 stars

I like Neil Young's voice. This may not be his best offering but it is decent. 3.5

Didn't reach the highs of Harvest Moon

i was going to complain about this but i ended up liking the second half of it a lot better than the first. i’m still a neil agnostic but it simply isn’t fair to say that i’m a hater. fav tracks: vampire blues; on the beach; motion pictures (for carrie)

that was actually pretty good. neil young i apologize

Neil Young is not an artist I frequently listen to but as an enjoyer of folk this is a nice short listen that displays Young's unique sound.

I thought this was cool, definitely outside my ordinary wheelhouse. Enjoyed a few of the tracks more than I thought I would but honestly, the problem here is that nothing felt super memorable to me? I liked it though - it was a cool album despite being entirely unfamiliar with Neil Young.

Has its moments, but never rises to the level of some of Neil's other works.

4.5

Overall: 6/10 This generator seems to want to get all the Neil Young out of the way early lol I enjoyed this one but it was definitely my least favourite of his albums I've heard so far. The music is pretty chill for the most part while the lyrics are depressing as hell. It's a good contrast actually. If I'm being honest, there were times I felt myself dozing off due to the vibes. It's not his best work but it's enjoyable. Fav Song: See the Sky About to Rain Least Fav Song: For the Turnstiles

Not a fan

one of Neil Young's best

Meh. Neil Young's got some good songs, and I used to be into him much more. Now, all I hear is whining. 2/5.

I normally love Neil Young but this album was a downer.

Neil is great, but there are simply too many of his albums on this list.

None of these tracks do it for me, nothing memorable and far too slow. I can see the appeal but definitely not for me.

Nice to get to know NY better. Groovy personal narrative
