Tonight's The Night

pierwszy numer brzmi jak crazy rap od afromana ogolnie czulam sie jakbym byla dziewczyna deadbeat boyfriend ktory chce zostac muzykiem i mi pokazuje wszystkie swoje piosenki a one mi sie n podobaja ale musze sluchac do konca. sposob spiewu najbardziej mnie irytuje, sama muzyka tez mnie nie urzekla. neil opowiada o smutnych rzeczach ale jednak album uwazam za straszny w odsluchu, wiec mimo tego ze glupio mi dac jedna gwiazdke albumowi ktory autor stworzyl po tragicznych doswiadczeniach w jego zyciu to i tak to zrobie.

Surowy klimat. Czasami coś gra, gdy się ma wrażenie, że niepowinno. Wokale są nieperfekcyjnie zaspiewane, a całość daje odczucie, jakby była nagrywana na kacu. I mi się to podoba!!! Ten album nie dąży do perfekcji. Jest dokładnie tym, czym ma być: albumem o stracie. 3.5

Jeśli kiedyś wybiorę się podróz w arioznie po monument valley, jeżdżąc setki mil po prostych, opustoszalych drogach, to ten album może mi towarzyszyć. Choć utwory nie zaskakują koncepcją czy brzmieniem, cała plyta po prostu roztacza barową, luźną atmosferę, dzięki czemu swietnie nadaje się jako tło do robienia codziennych czynności i wpadnięcia we flow state.

ciezko mi ocenic ten album nie jest zly choc troche mnie meczyl mam za maly zakres uwagi na takie monotonne dziela tak sie zlozylo ze Mellow My Mind i Roll Another Number sluchalam w samochodzie harmonijka dobrze wchodzila w taka jesienna i sloneczna niedziele wracajac z gminy kostomloty z powrotem do cywilizacji nic wiecej nie pamietam a album nie zaintrygowal mnie na tyle zebym do niego teraz wrocila i sobie cos tam przypomniala 2,5 pozdrawiam

No całkiem ok taki vibe że siedzisz se w barze i ktoś gra sobie w tle więc leci se w tle i jest ok ale tak by słuchać więc to raczej nie. P.S. mellow my mind okropnie Neil fałszuje wgl nie jest z niego jakiś wspaniały wokalista.

Totalnie mdły album nie wiem czy jestem w stanie sobie wyobrazić sytuację w której puszczam go sobie sam z własnej woli. Monotonny i nudny najbardziej wyróżnił się utwór new mama nie dodaje skali cpunskiej bo to szkoda prądu

Dzisiejszej nocy jest noc. RIP Bruce Berry Album bardzo przyjemny, taki sielankowy mimo tragicznej historii i motywu przewodniego, nie bierzcie heroiny bo was zmiecie z planszy Sluchajac tego albumu czuje sie jakbym jechal moim starym Lincolnem przez Kansas paląc papierosa i pijąc whiskey z Tennessee Fragmenty z harmonijką robią we mnie dziwne rzeczy w pozytywnym tego słowa znaczeniu. Mega przyjemne nieinwazyjne country Album typu fajnie by było mieć na winylu żeby grał sobie w tle w sobotnią jesień

Nigdy nie ufaj artyście który gra na harmonijce i na gitarze na raz bo wiesz że wyjdzie coś takiego. Bob Dylański vibe z nutą „Lubiłem gitarę, więc sobie wstałem; se przypomniałem że jeszcze nie srałem więc coś zagrałem, poszedłem bo chciałem.” Pozdrawiam Miś Bim

Late at night when the people were gone He used to pick up my guitar And sing a song in a shaky voice That was real as the day was long

Another okay Neil Young album. Why he deserves so many spots on here I’ll never know

Didn't really make an impression on me. Nothing I didn't like but nothing I loved either. ⚪️ neither BANGED nor DID NOT BANG

I certainly don't mind Neil's music, his songs, nor his singing, but this being on a 'must hear' list does puzzle me.

Oof. I guess I just do not like Neil Young. It's his singing voice more than anything else. Right off the bat, from the opening moments of this album, it's just so grating - and doesn't get any better. The opening track is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. I don't think the songwriting is particularly good but it's hard to even focus on the lyrics when they're sung by him. The instrumentals would be really nice if they were accompanied by any other vocalist.

I'm a fan of Neil, but I'm not familiar with this album in particular. I recognize a couple of these tracks by title. I'm looking forward to listening to this. I like this, but it's by no means a great Neil Young album.

Kind of hit or miss for me, which is a surprise, because I generally like Neil Young's mid 70's output. I can get by his voice most of the time, but when he hit that squeaky falsetto a few times, it was borderline painful. Thought the album got stronger near the end.

Definitely some caterwauling going on here! Some vocals I really didn't enjoy

Decent 3,5/5

I like a few Neil Young albums quite a bit. This is not one of those. This one is painful to listen to.

Better than most of the other seven friggin Neil Young albums on this list.

I guess for this list Neil Young is my Bob Dylan…but even then.

Probably the best Neil Young albums on the list But he’s still Neil Dung to me

Better than the average Neil Young album.

First listen to this, and wow! On The Beach is one of my all time favorite albums so it's strange I never dug further into this period. Rectified now.

Great album, as a stand-alone, it sots among the best and as part of the trilogy, it ties it up, nicely.

Great album. Never have heard any of these songs. Lyrically fantastic. Simple and rich but feels unrefined and has some rawness. Would like to find it on vinyl.

Excellent

(5/7) never heard any of this before - he sure seems to have written a lot of stuff

Still didn't turn me into a Neil fan. Got a good voice for silent films.

Goddamn but this captures burnout and grief and goes hard. Harvest, on the beach and this - Stevie Wonder ass run.

Not his best for sure. This list goes too deep for some artists, no reason this many Neil Young/Tom Waits/Nick Cave records need to be included.

Old dirty shakt voice. Fik præcis hvad jeg forventede.

Hvis jeg skal høre noget der er country-ish, så er Neil Young et godt bud. Han har bedre albums, men det her er nu helt okay.

3.5/5

Classic Neil

Ok - this is getting ridiculous now….how can Neil Young’s entire discography be on this list? Just can’t stand his voice and I don’t get why he’s so revered. 1

I was already familiar with this album before listening. This has some great tracks in the title song, Tired Eyes, and Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown, but really there are no bad songs on here. It might not be Neil Young's best album, but it's still very good. I would listen again.

M'n 8e keer Neil Young als ik het goed tel. Dat gaat echt helemaal nergens over. Zo'n muzikale God is het nou ook weer niet wat mij betreft. Ik gaf tot nu volgens mij steeds een 3 of een enkele 4. Ik heb de neiging om deze lager te geven, maar dat komt dan vooral op het conto van Robert Dimery. Ik doe het gewoon, fuck it, 2 sterren.

Ditch this.

I forgot to rate this until a week after listening to it. I’ve nearly forgotten everything about this.

The most country-fried stretch of the ditch, and some of the most vulnerable too Favourite tracks: Borrowed Tune, Downtown, Albuquerque

Pretty mid NY I think 3/5

Good album

"I don't want the Carpenters to play Tonight's The Night. Tonight's The Night was a story of death and dope. It was about a sleazy, burned-out rock star just about to go, about what fame and crowds do to you. I had to exorcise those feelings. I felt like it was the only chance I had to stay alive." -Neil Young Heartbreaking. Don't do hard drugs, kids.

Yes. Yes.

Aina toimii. Parhaat levyt tulleet jo herralta. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Too gringo for me

I think this might be the first time I actually "get" Neil Young in my own way. It starts off like I would expect it to. I actually don't enjoy the titular track at all. These stories of ODing are pretty personal and I feel bad but it's the truth. I liked 'Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown' and pretty much the rest of the album after that.

A bit more rockish and countryish than the previous album I listened to (Harvest), which was veeeeery folky. That being said, this album was lowkey a bore.

Not Neil's best. I understand the context to the creation of this album and the grief he was experiencing, but some songs are a mess.

Je n'aime pas sa voix

not Neil Young's best but still Neil Young

Interesting record when I read up on the backstory - this thing is basically a drunk at a wake. Interesting vibe. Favourite tracks: Mellow My Mind, Albuquerque, Tired Eyes.

Really good blues rock. I have been getting landed with a lot of bands of this era lately on this list, but this stands out still. Tonight's the Night (the title track) is so emotive that the spine does indeed shiver a little. It takes you on a bit of a journey through the mindset of Young as well, seeing the suffering fame and addiction brings to those around him, and then getting disillusioned with fame, rock, and the 60s hangover. Really good stuff. Like a more direct and parseable Dylan. Like Dylan, I can forsee when I look at the reviews after writing this, that there will be people complaining about Neil Young's whiny voice and reeling harmonica, but as with Dylan, I respect the craft, and think the strained vocals lend creedence to the piece. Very good stuff!

När Neil Young är som bäst är han en av de riktigt stora rockrösterna. Men på denna skivan hittar jag varken några klassiker, några världsklasshookar, eller några textrader som suger tag i mig. Det är helt enkelt en stökig, oborstad samling låtar i gränslandet mellan folk, singer-song writing och rock n roll. Inte dåligt, men inte heller fantastiskt. Är det en svag fyra? Är det en stark trea? Fan vet!

The usual whiny crap from Young.

Love Neil but let's be honest - this is not his finest hour. But hey......Econoline.....

Not one of his better records. I am a fan, but this is just mediocre at best. Sounds like Neil Young but there is nothing that holds your attention or any real difference between each song.

Óttalegt kattabreim hjá Nilla. Var ekki alveg að fíla þetta í fyrstu hlustun og langaði ekki í aðra. Sorry memmig.

Mér fannst þetta mjög góð plata. Röddin hans Neil er vissulega ekki sú sterkasta, en það sem sumum finnst falskt finnst mér vera einlægni og tilfinning. Líklega aquired taste og lélegt tóneyra.

Gran album de Neil Young, mucho más crudo y triste que Harvest. Lo he oído mil veces y me sigue gustando de vez en cuando.

I'm a big fan of Neil Young, and rate many of his albums as 4 or 5 star. This isn't one of them. It's okay, but shouldn't be on this list.

Correcto

unbearable grief gives the voice a shaky ground to dance with devils

I usually get worried when I see that my next album to listen to is by Neil Young, I always think that it's going to be really basic Country Rock with some Folk influences, but each time I listen to one of his albums, I end up loving them! This is no exception! I didn't love the opening track, but 'Speakin' Out' was potentially the greatest track on the album. The run from 'Borrowed Tune' to 'Albuquerque' was also pretty much flawless! After that, I didn't love the last 3-4 songs, but the whole album flew by and is definitely worth a listen for anyone who likes Young's music!

i heard it gets better after 6 listens, so we'll see

70s folk rock.

Raw, Smokey, emotional 10/10

Not my thing

Just a bit meh. Couple of decent tracks but he’s done better.

I find Neil Young quite eclectic. Generally I really like several tracks on an album, and wonder what he was smoking for several others! Having read up the backstory to this album, it is quite tragic and made me listen a bit more carefully than I might have otherwise done. So, several good tracks and a couple of duds, but still a very solid 3 for me

Very rough round the edges. Almost like an album of demos with some great ideas and interplay with the band. So I did a little research on it and man that was a rollercoaster of drugs, deaths and general rock excess, recorded quickly. So a very personal album for Neil, but not a polished one - some of the vocal lines are atrociously out of tune. 2.5

He always has me at Neil. Don’t even need to listen to it sometimes to know I am going to love his folky honky-tonk songs sung in an incredible aching voice. But, I felt that this one wasn’t as good as After the Gold Rush or Harvest so four stars.

NÃO É RUIM, LONGE DISSO MAS ACHEI MEIO REPETITIVO, PARECE UMA VERSÃO COUNTRY BOB DYLAN MAS NÃO TÃO GÊNIO

meio música de pai core mas legalzinho ⭐️mellow my mind

ein gutes ablbum gefällt mir

Some classic Neil on here.

I have heard of the artist but never listened to him before. He has a good voice and the laid back feel to the album is great. Its not music I would choose to sit and listen to but more like I would have a song or two on a playlist aimed at being played in the background while hanging out with friends late at night.

I enjoyed this a lot. I can be critical of NY at times, especially his curmudgeon type attitude as he ages. The library is huge, but most of his albums have a couple great tunes and a couple bad ones and a few average one. This one was solid from start to finish. Sounded a bit like a live recording for most of it which I enjoyed. 3.75

another instance of classic rock i kind of like! not the most memorable thing to me (i listened to this a day ago not today), but i remember at least thinking it was better than some of my other 3 stars. might need a relisten.

The instrumentals are incredible but his voice…oof

Almost everywhere I look, I see a ton of glowing reviews regarding this album. I think there are some things in this artist that warrant a nod or maybe a type "oh I see what you mean" feeling. This album is about having lost friends to drugs, and it's an album that is written to convey mourning and grief, but I didn't get that feeling upon my listen. I think the harebrained singing, and rough song ideas might seem like that's the fucking point, but I can't accept it. This is supposed to be a list of 1001 albums you have to hear before you die, and with this being yet another Neil Young album, I have to admit that I'm already tired of hearing this dude's fucked up high register straining and goofy middle text platitudes in the middle of a song. I don't know. I just can't accept that we might've left off some really great music for t he 5th or 6th fuckin' album by this. Boomers, I respect that you guys grew up bumping this and seeing this dude live, but I still have to admit I think most of you have lead in your brain. This dude warranted a musical contract back in the day? You lot are really the luckiest fucks.

Wasn't sure about the first few, but then that quieter song turned up and then the rest was pure gold xx

I am a total sucker for sad songs and for Neil Young. That makes me a perfect listener for this album. I remember getting this when I was in my 20's, and I just couldn't get into it as I did his other albums. I was a bit uncertain today given that history. ' It turns out age and lots of losses over the years have made this a great album for me. Song after song I was just giving into the emotions, and the music itself, and totally appreciating all that he wanted to say. Even though I don't think there's a dud on the album, the standouts were Speakin' Out, Borrowed Tune, Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown, and Tired Eyes.

Ok I like Neil Young in theory and I probably would listen again. I am giving a lot of points for songwriting and good riffs but taking some away for what feels to me like rushed recording and production. Lots of visible mistakes in here, which definitely feels human (good) but also feels non-professional (bad).

TIL Neil can play the piano. And then he invites every instrument he owns to the party. The piano and harmonica bring their A-game. Spins: 1 Playlist Additions - Borrowed Tune - Mellow My Mind - Albuquerque - Tired Eyes

Tämä levy ei säväyttänyt, vaikka Neil onkin yksi suosikkejani. Biisi materiaali oli keskinkertaista.

Slogging thru the bad albums on the list like this in search of actual gems is quite exhausting. I just have no use for this boring music.

The generator must be broken. I seriously need something uptempo soon. Day 7 and counting. Better than more ambient music, I guess? I have a bit of a soft spot for Neil Young but 7 albums on the generator is generous (including 3 with Crazy Horse). Makes up for all the Brit pop? For me this isn't his best, certainly not his most approachable. For me to rate this I need a 3.5 rating. I can't quite bump it to a 4.

Easily one of Neil's best. Grieving and struggling with alcohol, these songs are so raw and powerful. Amazing throughout.

Some I found to be good, others I found to be a little grating. Looking it up, one of the strengths of the album (and Young generally) was the writing, but I hadn't locked in on that and my initial read of some songs was it sounded like Young making Young songs

Not as good as Harvest but still has some great songs.

I liked it had some good jams Will I listen to again: 60%

It's been a long time since I listened to this straight through. It was never one of my favorites, like the much more listenable albums, Everybody Knows This is Nowhere and Harvest. In comparison to those, it's raw musically and lyrically. It's sad, and frantic, bitterly nostalgic, it's dancing on the edge. But in the end, it's a great album to sit and listen to, it's a great recording so it rewards high volume with lots of sonic detail. Definite classic. 5/5.

just jammin

Not his best work.

Glorious harmonies on Tonight's the Night; sparse, bass riff, Neil rauque voice; then the honkeytonk kicks in and we're off. Speakin' Out and it's about as laid back as blues can be. I'd be interested in the chord changes. I think it's the D7 D#dim7 E that sounds really nice in transition. lol great way to end the song by loudly proclaiming the title of the song! Quicker tempo shake the rust off World on a String. Good pacing choice. Nice interlude maybe exploring the lyrics would bring deeper meaning. Borrowed Tune first sighting acoustically of the harmonica which is welcome and recognizable in Youngpertoire! Oh wow, what lyrics, what a tune, the Stones, really? Lady Jane. Too wasted to write my own. This is a standout ballad make you cry. Come on Baby thank you Dog I needed something to pick me up after that last. Whoever put together the order of songs is godly. That went by quick don't overstay your welcome but I was enjoying the groove. Mellow My Mind - another in and out reminded me, hints of Live Rust in the lyrics but seemed to dip out of that groove before settling into it. Uncertainty for me. Roll Another Number and it's becoming clear this album is a taste of every genre: blues, trad. Neil Young fare, country, folk. None feel out of place so far. Albuquerque finds me in between what Neil was to what I know of him later. Electric guitar, slide, meets then a drop back into a more ethereal folk song like a Helpless tune. I haven't checked the discog to see where this album fits but it feels super in between one thing and another. New Mama is hitting just right. Acoustic now guitar with the body being used to do the percussive effects and the harmonies oh do those ever soar. Piano now acoustic as well, nice layering. Soft warm across the board for voices and instruments. A Capella because of course and it pops because they set it up properly. That is a force of nature not just a song. Lookout Joe sounds like what a Lou Reed song would sound like if done by Neil Young. OK maybe not just the beginning made me think of walk on the wild side introducing different characters. Tired Eyes is apt. Nice slow ballad in a song speak style gearing up for the closer what a trip this album has been! Bookended album, lovely! Tonight's the night reprise. 5 easy 5 alive.

I really like his voice and i really the poetry that are in his songs. Great album!

Neil in full Cocaine Cowboy mode. Does he even know that he recorded this?

I <3 NY. My all-time favourite songwriter.
