Rust Never Sleeps

Just as boring as the last time this came up.

Whoever wrote this list has a throbbing boner for Neil Young. His music is nice. It’s easy to listen to. But I don’t feel like I need to listen to ever second of recorded music he ever put out before I die.

OK

Not a huge fan of Neil Young, but this album wasn't too bad.

Good stuff

Enjoyed the first half of the album more than the second half; this was ok.

Solid Neil Young stuff (including Hey Hey - which is my favorite of his).

Het album begint prachtig met de ingetogen versie van Hey Hey, My My. Daarna kabbelt het een beetje voort met wat typische Neil Young nummers, niets voor meer dan een vergeetbare 3. Om vervolgens op deel 2 Crazy Horse erbij te halen om nog even lekker een potje te gaan rock n rollen en te eindigen met een stevige versie van het openingsnummer. Maar uiteindelijk draait het om de twee versies van Hey Hey, My My. De rest is slechts vergeetbare opvulling. En daarom haalt het net geen 4 sterren, want er zijn gewoon betere Neil Young platen.

It's an interesting album. I had to look it up, but apparently it's a mix of live songs overdubbed in the studio and a few pure studio tracks. I could tell that there was some live recordings in there, but it felt simultaneously authentic and polished. live is tough. Right now, the only live albums I appreciate are Peter Frampton, Adele, and, of course, live jazz, assuming it is miked, mixed, and mastered well (and Frampton Comes Alive passed because it is basically the rock version of a live jazz set). This is a unique choice for a "live" album, that I think works well. Musically? The first and last tracks are classics for a reason, the middle is pretty normal album filer for young, so it's solid at worst.

I want to like Neil Young more, but I just can't.

I liked the start of the album, but then… I don’t know. My interest waned and by the end I didn’t care. Solid musicality throughout, however.

I don't really like the format of this album, which is overdubbed live tunes combined with a couple outtakes from the studio. It's also half acoustic and half electric, which makes it feel even more disjointed. There's good-to-excellent material here, but the execution was flawed.

bereits das dritte album von neil young in den 1001 - da kommen noch mehr! dieses ist einigermassen hörbar, vielleicht gewöhne ich mich langsam an ihn?

Ich mag seine Stimme und die relaxte Musik. Nicht immer aber ab und zu.

meh

Another enjoyable NY album. After the first 3 tracks I thought it might become my favourite of his, but nah. There’s some nice stuff on here but it’s only really the opener and closer that are essential listening in my opinion. The ahead-of-its-time grunginess of Hey Hey, My My, and the enthusiastic reactions of die-hard rock ’n’ roll believers in the crowd to hearing My My, Hey Hey for the first time are both album high points. 3.5

excelente live folk

Americana blues / rock. Easy listening for a saturday morning.

I hope this is the last Neil Young off this list. I mean his songs are decent but there's nothing new to look forward to with his other songs. It's all the same.

Alright, but I liked the previous two Neil Young albums I rated more.

Naja

5.5/10 A game of two halves, this Quite liked the first half, folky country rock with nice vibes and the vocal style worked very well Second, more rocky, half was sloppy, not so fun, and had some less good lyrics Best: Pocahontas

Ok

Ok 3/5

Okay... for a country album...

My fave Neil album so far. It felt lively and I the message really came through

This is mellow but if you didn’t know that about Neil Young then I guess you do now. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all mellow but you’re not going to be destroying personal property in your own personal mosh pit. All in all, this is an OK album. There are beautifully written songs and then there are songs that he really didn’t know what to say and just threw some words to the wind to see what God felt like saying. If you know Neil then you know what to expect. That’s about all I’ve got. Choice cut: Hey hey, my my (either one)

I didn’t mind today’s album, but I can’t say with any honesty that it really made much of an impact on me, other than thinking, “Oh yeah, he’s got a bit of a weird voice.” It didn’t grate in any way, but I’d certainly say that the music kind of just blended into the background as I was listening, until all of a sudden I noticed that music was no longer playing. Overall, I think I’d have to say I’m completely neutral about this album.

My my hey hey (into the blue) - Kurt cobain line goes hard. Kinda vibey harmonica Thrasher - Vibey, harmonica goes hard again, quite long. Ride my llama - great name, “peru to texacan” banging lines. No harmonica :( Pocahontas - Vibey, probably vibiest one yet. Sail away - Powderfinger - Vibey lyrics Welfare Mothers - Clapping makes it fun to listen to Sedan delivery - guitar goes crazy thru the song. Hey hey my my (into the black) - much different than into the blue even with similar lyrics

Good mix of country-folk rock. I'm not a huge fan of Neil, but he does have some iconic songs. "Hey Hey, My My", is definitely one of those. Overall, it is a good listen.

My my hey hey

I quite like Neil Young, I thought this was a pretty good album although I probably didn't pay as much attention while it was playing as I could have. Fave Track: My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) Rating: 3

This was ok

Generic Mid Tier 70s/80s jam "rock". Very bluesy feel to it, not bad, but not a preferred style of music for me.

Love me some Neil Young

Lovely to listen to some Neil young. His voice has always grated on me and despite his status as a legend I can’t get past it. That said, it’s a beautiful album.

I liked this more than some of Neil Young's other stuff. No real significant feelings tho.

Generally not a fan of live albums with a couple exceptions, but this wasn't one of them. I'm very familiar with the popular Neil Young songs and like them a lot (there were two featured on this album). But even those I think I'd rather listen to the studio versions, and the rest of the songs were fine, but nothing special.

I think Neil young is a fantastic song writer and story teller. Unfortunately I don’t like the sound of his singing voice. 3.5/5

It’s okay. Don’t love it, don’t hate it.

I like the first half of the album much better

It was okay

Loved Hey Hey, My My. The rest was also fine. Good ol' classic rock.

This was pretty good, my tolerance for Neil is pretty low despite multiple attempts to try and get him. I dunno, the second half is much better, almost a punk album.

C'était bon mais pas aussi intéressant que l'autre album de NY que j'ai écouté.

can't really remember this honestly. three stars

Classic Neil. 3.75

I liked the acoustic renditions, but otherwise the album had quite a few songs that just blended together.

I expected so much better. “On the Beach” gave me hope that this would be engaging and interesting. That album was fantastic both musically and lyrically. This album…well it was alright. The first half was boring. I’m just gonna get that out of the way. Musically, the songs all existed in the same space and sounded too much alike. I’d have to listen again for lyrics because honestly, I spaced out. The second half, especially near the end, really kicks up the energy and grit. It gave it the lift it needed to be a three star album as opposed to a two star album. It saved it. On the whole, this was fine but I do think it would’ve been better served if the energetic songs were mixed in with the more chill songs. Three stars. Standout tracks: Powderfinger, Sedan Delivery, Hey, Hey, My, My (Into the Black)

Solid album, nothing ground breaking.

skroz okej

I meant it's alright

69/100 Giggity

not my cup of tea

A couple of great tunes but most of it was forgettable.

typisch Neil Young

Wholesome

It was alright, I liked the last two tracks the most

5/14/24. Never been a huge Neil Young fan but this was a decent listen, loved that it was heavier. The last track alone really lifted this album for me, love the riff!

Standard Neil Young

Another average album by Neil Young & Crazy Horse, they have a really great style, that grows stale after a couple of songs. It's not the most interesting experience, just a chore to listen to.

За вторую часть, которая сбалансировала сей альбом, накидываю баллов

Jeg hyggede mig med det her. Ret fint med lidt live lyd. Nok ikke dét album jeg først vender tilbage til igen.

An odd choice for a Neil Young record on this list. I mean I would have to think that he's got another one or two on here for sure. I wonder why this one was chosen? It's a good album but as far as essential Neil Young I don't know if I would count this record. Maybe that's just me. I feel like you either really like Neil Young or you hate him. I like him, super unique voice for sure and I always appreciate that. He's good at crafting a song and a wonderful guitar player. For this particular album, I feel like it starts off great with My My Hey Hey and then kind of just goes down after that. It's too much of the softer kind of singer/songwriter Neil Young and less of the harder rockier version and I much prefer the latter. A decent album though, 3.5/5 rounded to 3 because, come on, a live album with studio overdubs like this isn't exactly a live album.

Pretty good

Great storytelling, interesting music.

I've never felt compelled to explore Neil Young's music because everything I've heard seemed mediocre. 'Rust Never Sleeps' didn't change my opinion. While not bad, it's unremarkable and makes good background music for social events.

2 classic songs and few not so good

This is Neil Young's tenth album, and his third with the band Crazy Horse. Some of the songs on this album were recorded live, during which Young experimented with effects on his guitar parts. For the effects, this album is credited with inspiring some grunge band. These songs are typical of Young's music - guitar based country/folk/rock.

Didn't listen to this album, but after seeing the albums that have been removed from this list I am making one final rating to say this list is dog shit.

couple okay grooves. album is a great soundtrack to a Sunday afternoon dive bar.

Not a huge fan of Neil Young, but I think I might like him most with Crazy Horse? Not sure who this horse is but I like how it brings a little more rock outta Neil. Also happy to see that Mr. Young is back on Spotify after that losing tiff with Rogan. Will be super handy as I think he appears on this list 10+ times.

Simple and similar-sounding melodies, very folksy-Americana sound. Gets a little more energetic near the end. It's not music that'll amp you up, but the gentle storytelling will transport you to a specific moment in time & place. Pretty indifferent to this as a whole, though.

Definitely my favorite Neil Young so far. Haven’t been the biggest fan on past ones but thought this one was fun. Rating: 3.5

That’s another one from Mr. Young!

It was pretty nice, but a little all over the place. I like his voice i dont know what people are on tbh

Somewhat repetitive. Lyrical somewhat basic. A few shining moments

I am not a huge Neil Young fan but this is a solid album.

neil young has a lot of albums on this list! rust never sleeps, however, sounds different. there's still a lot the same: young has his harmonica often and he has his mix of country folk rock. it is a sort of live album, though you can sometimes forget because the album doesn't focus on the cheers or audience participation. a sort of proto-grunge is present, which is endlessly fascinating considering he isn't remembered for that. the main song acting as bookends was a nice touch, with similar lyrics and titles but the main difference being between acoustic and electric styles. i always am a sucker for album titles being hidden in songs, but there was something about that lyric of "it's better to burn out 'cause rust never sleeps."

Enjoyed it

for my first listen, it has not done much to impress me. I know how much of a high standard people hold Neil Young to, but I'm just not getting it. Some nice country songs for sure, but country has never been a favorite genre of mine

casi no lo termino 5/10

Hmmmm, this started out well and I was enjoying it. Then I went back to it and I was bored and skipping songs. I don’t know if it’s mood that really dictates how I feel about Neil Young music regardless I think I’m gonna have to go rather than four, but I will invest more time over time.

FUCK NEIL YOUNG My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) – 4.5 Thrasher – 3.5 Ride My Llama – 3 Pocahontas – 3.5 Sail Away – 3.5 Powderfinger – 4 Welfare Mothers – 3 Sedan Delivery – 3 Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) – 4 Average - 3.55 (3)

Bueno.

I liked the electric side better

Думал с первых треков, что сейчас как the cure меня шарахнет. Но нет, не пронимает. Ну типа есть что-то интересное, но при этом как-то мееех )

It's okay. Nothing special. Obviously, the bookend songs are the highlights here, but the rest... Meh.. Lyrics are interesting enough, but the music is not really, but I understand why they call him the godfather of grunge.

his voice is especially whiny in this one!

This album's split in two by a folk side and a rock side, can't believe they stole from Hardy with his genre defining classic the mockingbird & THE CROW, it's really disappointing. In a general sense, I think it's fine. I'm not the biggest folk fan so that half didn't really do much for me, but overall it felt fine.

I like Neil Young a lot. This album is fine but not one I keep going back to.

Never listened to a full Neil Young album. Was good, although nothing particularly remarkable

He can write a riff sometimes, and he can write lyrics sometimes, but I am increasingly of the opinion that he can't do both in the same song unless the planets align. I don't get it.

Ok

The first side of this album is the one classic Neil Young thing I haven’t been able to get into. Just something very dull and lifeless about that doesn’t capture the sentimental charm that Young does so well. The second side picks up the slackt though, making the experience as a whole better, although I’d rather listen to Neil’s other albums than sit through the first side of this to get to the second one.

6/10 słaba realizacja dźwiękowa. Neil bardzo spokojny.

This was a good Neil Young album, I enjoyed it Top tracks: Powderfinger, Welfare Mothers

Opens with a live version of My My, Hey Hey. Really pretty amplified acoustic tone with solid vocals from Young (always wondered how those would hold up live). Sail Away is a really pretty song. Love the melody and calm atmosphere. Feels like something made for riding a covered wagon cross-country. Was not expecting the change up in tone across Welfare Mothers and Sedan Delivery. The latter digs into an almost eruo-punk inspired riff with some spacey elements. I was into it. Album closes on a considerably darker version of My My, Hey Hey. Definitely prefer the first, but it is interesting how different the heavy riffs make this song. All around this was an enjoyable listen and well fit for a rainy Monday morning such as this. I don't know I'll be back quickly, but it was fine. Objectively, I can see this scoring highly -- personally it runs middle of pack for my tastes. 3 leaning 3.5.

Per ora è da 3

The music's ok, more folk/country than rock. Neil's singing is mediocre at best. It's sometimes even irritating for my ears.

Oh boy, yet another Neil Young record. I hope it's the last one on this list because he's generally insufferable with his 'earnestly howling lonely hound' act with trite songs about teepees. As I mentioned before, it's the auditory sensation of a full body wax job. Allowing a '3' since there were a couple of actually fun rock songs.

Good vocal. Nice style changes.

Coffee, mushrooms, red wine and Neil Young are amongst the many things that the younger me would have rejected and the older me enjoys beyond reason. Great varied album.

TIL at "it's better to burn out than fade away" kommer fra en Neil Young sang?? Synes egentlig det lød godt, udmærkede numre og en god optagelse som man næsten ikke kunne høre var live. Neil er bare ikke helt min kop te sådan generelt Hvis jeg lavede en sang der hed "Ride my Llama" ville jeg nok ikke gøre den mega melankolsk, synes der mangler lidt noget overensstemmelse der sådan vibes-wise

I listened to this a few days ago, and cannot for the life of me remember anything about this. I think I originally wanted to give this 4 stars, but I'm gonna put it at 3 now (because I do remember not hating it and I've listened to a lot of worse stuff).

Some bias here, Neil Young has talent, but his contributions always felt a bit "Yeah, but watch what I do." and that puts some strain on what it takes to be a fan of his music. Where many artists define themselves either through their band or by their music, this reviewer has had to sift through more rumor, opinion, good and bad, about the man rather than his actual music. The byproduct of that is that it impacts the way the music is heard/listened to. Is the listener hearing Neil Young's creative contributions or are they listening to the "most selfish" or self-aggrandizing musician ever to join Crosby, Stills & Nash? Either way, this album is par for the course. What value does it provide to be heard before one dies? Not much, really, unless the argument is the reason. Neil Young was at his best, even if at his worst, with Crosby, Stills, & Nash. He may feel as though he has earned the right to be more important than he is, and fans can hold that against him, but objectively speaking he is not that big of a deal. Whatever part he had to play in contributing to the difficulty of his groups to come together harmoniously, those problems were likely there before he was. That having been said, this album is par for a course, and not a prestigious course.

I enjoyed this.

I have immense respect for Neil Young as an artist. I do not enjoy Neil Young’s singing.

It's neil young. 3/5

Estuvo ok, aunque me pregunto cuántos discos más de Neil Young necesitamos.

Just raw greatness

Not that I to him. I used to sound like him and it was irritating

Another Neil Young album? A mid to low 3. Much preferred it once he found where to plug the guitars in.

Classic Neil Young.

I know the album says rock but this felt WAY more like country, without a doubt. I don’t expect country to have electric guitar and heavy drums in it but apparently it can. Neil young is a genius god bless country-rock. 3.7/5

Neil Young is always conflicting for me. I wrote this in my notes for one of his other albums, but I have an enormous amount of respect for him as a musician and as a person, but generally can't get into his music. The exception to this is when he straps on an electric guitar with a band and lets it rip. I remember as a kid, my dad would always listen to Neil Young, while I was busy listening to Nirvana/Alice in Chains/Soundgarden/Pearl Jam. Then, when Mirror Ball came out, he put it on for me, and my 11 year old mind was blown. Long story short, that means that this album is split for me. First half, could take or leave. Second half, I really enjoy, even if it's not in regular rotation for me.

good. decent. not the biggest fan of neil youngs voice. rock vibe songs are not my favorite. other songs were good.

I think I reviewed a Neil Young album previously and was not at all impressed. I wasn't expecting much from this but I have had enough surprises during the first ~100 albums to go in with an open mind. I'm glad I did, this album was immeasurably better than the previous experience. Maybe it was the added 'rock' impact from Crazy Horse (the other album was a lot more acoustic). The only downside for me is his singing voice, but it's not out of tune or anything awful like that, it just jars a bit with me.

This sounds like Neil Young. If you like Neil Young you'll love it. If you don't like Neil Young you'll hate it. As for me...eh haha

Listen to half of it and i didn't really get going enough to finish it :/ DM me if i made a mistake and I need to revisit

A great acoustic album. Welfare mothers is dirtier than I expected (sound-wise), for an otherwise light/acoustic album.

Not a huge Neil Young fan, but this was a good reacquaintance. 3/4 of the album is fantastic going from classic folk to rock. While I'd prefer the folk stuff more, I appreciate it all. Last two tracks are grungy and just don't work as well as the rest of the album. While the last is a reprise of the first song, I like the acoustic version better.

I fully expected to hate this, given that I gave Ragged Glory one star. This was...okay. To be fair, I was kind of distracted with the godawful taste of my new greens powder, but this album wasn't adding to my sensory discomfort in the way Elvis Costello was while I was choking down the same greens drink the other day.

Not interested in this one. I see the value and can heard influences of more modern music, I just can't get past his voice.

the first and the last track are the best

This was a really nice record. Shame I can't listen on Spotify though, as he's apparently got beef with them. Favourite tracks: My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue), Ride My Llama, Pocahontas, Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)

Not quite my taste.

Oke genoeg van neil young nu

Great artist, and band. Not their best album. But, still good. Can never go wrong with Neil Young. Classic rock artist. Still putting out good music, today.

I wish I liked listening to Neil young more. I like his songwriting.

Теперь мне ясно кем вдохновлялись Arctic Monkeys.

'My My, Hey Hey' is a great song, but the rest didn't really do anything for me at all, surprisingly. Neil Young must be one of the most respectable in his genre, but I've come to the conclusion that he has a few songs that are very good, then the rest is actually below average. At least this is what I've found after hearing some of his albums through this list. Quite disappointing album for me, I'll give it a weak 3 just because I feel it's a bit of a "me problem".

Neil has such a unique voice that I think is an acquired taste that I've only partially acquired. I think I've heard more of his stuff with CSNY or CNY (specifically Heart of Gold) but there's a simple, pure quality to his songs that feels optimistic and light. It's not my favorite by any means but I respect the longevity of his career.

The first half of the album is a stripped down, folky guitar music. It’s ok if you can stand Neil Young’s whiny voice. The last third of the album brings in the electric guitar and it really makes the album come alive! “Powderfinger” was a real highlight.

Would like it more if he wasn't a cuck.

Bit as good as Live Rust...

I enjoyed it, but I probably need more time with it to hear what is special about it.

The type of stuff our Dad listened to.

Not really my thing but a fun one time listen

Favorites: My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue), Thrasher, Ride My Llama. Neil Young, great story teller.

Went in expecting something closer to John Denver, ended up pleasantly surprised with the style of the music. Not entirely my cup of tea, but I would be open to listening to another Neil Young album.

This album was not on spotify, after reading into why, I understand and respect Neil Young for his choice. Luckily I was able to listen to this on Youtube Music, and I have to say, it's not a bad album. All the songs have the same soppy tone, that sounds like a country singer turned emo. I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did, not an incredible 5 star masterpiece, but definitely better than many other albums.

Lyrics are a bit over the top Good guitar and harmonica

can't listen :(

I can see why he's a legend

sqee

Best Songs: My My, Hey Hey Listen Again: Probably

This is an artist I’d heard more of than actually listened to, and this album made me listen to other albums and learn more of Neil’s backstory. Mad props to this dude. I even like some of his songs. I personally just don’t like listening to his voice. Might appreciate a Neil Young cover more than the original.

My My, Hey Hey is a great song, and a really good opener, and Thrasher is a really good continuation. After that everything is just ok not too much stands out to me, besides Welfare Mothers which is really bad. Low 3.

An artist I've always liked when I listen to him/them but never gave them the full attention they deserve. Really love the opening song, 'My My Hey Hey,' sets a great tone for the rest of the album, but there are a lot of very slow moments where the album drags for me a bit. Other notable songs: Powderfinger, Welfare Mothers, Sedan Delivery. I love the return to Hey Hey My My at the end, really ties the album together. Interesting how the second half of this album is much more energetic than the first half. Still not the best I've heard from this generation/genre. 3/5

Use to like it. Fine but too nostalgic for me now

First album of the series, listened mainly at work, probably need to focus more on listening for the rest of the albums. Live album, seems like Neil young was pretty existential when this was written. First track was good/most popular. Cool circular nature (out of blue into black). Also Ride my llama sounds like Loney is the night.

Well, I hope I'm more into any of the other six Neil Young albums that're on this list.

For my first Neil Young album, it certainly is Something.

If I could rate each part of this album, I think I’d give the front half a strong 3/5 (for my sensibilities) and the back half a 4/5, almost solely on production that feels at least 7 years ahead of its time. Obviously, that balances out to 3.5, but as an entire album, I don’t think I’d feel right rounding that up to 4 – that would put it at the same level as the Yes album, the Springsteen album, and the Funkadelic album, and I just don’t think I enjoyed this as much as those. I think it’s about even with Parklife for me. Definitely better than Run-D.M.C. though.

Has not aged well

Already familiar with this one

Ok. Jep.

Mostly boring, however there were a few decent tunes. Thrasher, Sail Away, Powderfinger and the closer, I wouldn’t skip.

I’ve never been a huge Neil Young fan and listening to this album doesn’t ,make me a bigger fan. It is rock…it’s message rock that is appropriate for the time but It’s not great. I can see why people like it…guitar is awesome in it. Just wouldn’t put this album in my rotation.

It's OK. I like some of this other stuff better.

Super live Aufnahme Coole Gitarre Etwas zu "country like" für mich.

Gitarrenspiel sehr getragen, ich finde es teilweise langweilig. Die Texte sind recht merkwürdig, verstehe den Sinn in großen Teilen nicht.Gerade so 3 Sterne.

Standard fare from Neil. 3.5/5

My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) Powderfinger

I just don't care for his voice. Good lyrics are only as good as they are comprehensible.

Wasn't available for me to listen to fully but enjoyed what I could

2,5

its good, some songs I didn't like, but I should listen to more Neil Young in general. Will I listen to again: 30%

Not my thing. 2.7.

Interesting that I had to listen to this one on YouTube (Neil Young was protesting against Spotify for some reason). Some say that Neil doesn't have the best voice, and I think I agree with that. But the songs are good enough that it makes up for it. I'd want to hear it some more.

Figured since I was almost done playing catch up with the rest of my group, I'd go ahead and go back and do this album, which I'd missed because it previously wasn't on Spotify. Solid Neil Young album. I fall into the group that likes his voice, and think he's a solid, in uneven, artist. This album is exactly that.

It’s pretty chill, the lyrics make me laugh. It’s not necessarily my thing. 3.5/5

Right off the bat, sounds like I'm in for another sadboi album. I do love the general vibe on track one though, the main guitar riff sounds pretty iconic, and I love the harmonica.

Enjoyed. Best Neil Young Live I’ve heard

My My, Hey Hey // Ride My Llama //

I liked it more than i thought it would given that i don't like live albums and not a huge NY fan.

erg goed, kende er een paar erg goed. Rest was ook allemaal beetje die classic rock. Ga er erg goed op

Rating: 6/10 Decent album, slightly enjoyed it overall. The acoustic side (Side A) was pleasant to listen to, got a little boring and repetitive though. The electric side (Side B) starts off great and then each other song has parts I like and dislike on it, mixed bag on Side B. Favorite song: My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue), Powderfinger. Worst song: Ride My Llama.

Don’t love it. Cool sound, good campfire vibes. Wouldn’t buy the album

Eh

Seems like an album where I'm at a disadvantage if I don't pay attention to lyrics (which I don't). The acoustic guitar and harmonica is really nice, but the simplistic melodies tend to blur together. I also can't decide whether I like his voice or not. The turn to electric on side B was unexpected and adds some much-needed variety. Highlights: Ride My Llama, Welfare Mothers

WHAT I ENJOYED: There are some classics on here, probably. I didn't grow up with parents who were into Neil Young so this was my first time (outside of like, dive bars, probably) hearing some of them. I think it's cool that this album sounds like the beginning of a bridge between 70's soft rock and 80's grunge/lo-fi indie. GRIPES: I can see how the vocals are not for everyone.But at the same time, I feel like they're not SO bad...imo they add charm to melodies that would probably sound too precious and yacht-rock-y without imperfections and texture. Then again, it seems like a lot of the lyrics were just an afterthought. I have no idea what most of the songs are about. RECCOMMENDED IF YOU LIKE: Other Neil Young stuff, the Pixies, Elliott Smith #347 revealed / #494 rated

I liked Side 1, and the closer Hey, Hey, My, My.

Solid but not up there with Harvest.

nice

When you put your best song first on the album because you’re worried it will get buried in the rest of your average songs.

it was ok

Classic rock. Not quite my thing but not bad at all

Classic album with the unique sounds of Neil Young. Albums a bit of a hit and miss for me, but I enjoy plenty of Neil Young songs

Des bons classiques avec Hey hey, my my entre autres.

Can't listen to this due it not being available on Spotify and YouTube's ad blocker blocking still blocks my browser when I disable my ad blocker.

Gear: Meze 109 PRO Mix (2016 Remaster): fantastische Live-Aufnahme(n) Musik: nice. Wertung: 🎒🎒🎒/5

Fine. I watched the concert movie for this about 20 years ago. I remember enjoying that movie more than listening to this album now. The closing Hey Hey My My is my favorite track on this album.

Hey hey rest ok

Some good some really bad songs

ihan ok ralli mut ihaku ois repeatil kuunnellu samaa biisii lmao

First Neil Young album. I liked it, but am facing that 3/4 stars dilemma again - going with 3 because I don’t see myself going out of my way to listen to the whole album again. Highlights: - My, My, Hey Hey/Hey, Hey, My, My (both versions) - Thrasher - Ride My Llama

Pleasant to listen.

Starts out pretty chill, maybe folky, but it certainly ends with a much more crunchy, punk feel to it. Niel Young always has a lot to say.

It starts out a little folky, but wraps up with much more crunch. Almost had a punk feel towards the end. Like always though, Niel Young always has a lot to say.

I like an occasional Neil Young song. This was a lot of it

Unmistakable Neil Young vocals and acoustic sound, but for me album does not come to life until the second half, when the lead guitar kicks in.

I have a nostalgic appreciation for Neil Young, and he's a fantastic songwriter. But his voice just aint it for me personally. Sail Away and Powderfinger are amazing though.

Started a little boring. Last songs are more raw and more enjoyable. Not a big fan of Neil Young's voice and from a technical perspective not really outstanding.

An enjoyable album although didn't stand out for me

meh

Got better as I listened

Hey, hey, hey remains a stand-out banger, otherwise other songs are forgettable with some exceptions

Meh

I was kinda sleepy when I put this record on, and I guess I’m a little surprised that it kept me feeling that way given the band’s name is Crazy Horse. I like Neil Young, but after all the soft folk stuff I’ve been really itching to hear his wilder side. I don’t think this one had it for me. I would disagree this is an essential listen at this time. Call me back when I’ve heard 10 more of these albums.

Not available on Spotify

Surprisingly enjoyable.

Not crazy about Neil Young's voice, honestly. Solid album though.

Neil and all the others, just upload your work in spotify

Southern rock

"Rust Never Sleeps" by Neil Young & Crazy Horse is a live album that captures the raw energy of Young's performances during his 1978 tour. The album is divided into an acoustic set and an electric set, showcasing Young's versatility and stage presence. The acoustic portion features tracks like "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" and "Pocahontas," which highlight Young's introspective songwriting and folk-rock sensibilities. The electric set, on the other hand, includes classics like "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)," characterized by distorted guitars and a heavier sound. While the album captures the essence of a Neil Young concert, it might not be the best entry point for newcomers to his music. The live recordings can sometimes lack the studio polish of his studio albums. Additionally, while some fans appreciate the live atmosphere, others may prefer the original studio versions of these songs. In summary, "Rust Never Sleeps" is a solid live album that captures Neil Young's prowess as a performer, but its appeal may be more limited to fans who enjoy the live experience. It deserves a respectable 3/5 rating.

Folk-rock My my, hey hey Trasher

Decent live album

My favorite songs were My My, Hey Hey (Int the black)" and Thrasher and Sail Away (has a bluegrass feel), Powderfinger. I like how the intro song was redone as the last song on the album, but with distortion. I find the album a little repetitive, the guitar riffs almost always have a chord, walkdown, chord, chord formulation. And the chord progression in the verse and chorus match often, which feels flat. Neil's voice isn't very strong so I think it brings the quality down a bit, but I know he wrote the songs so I'm all for him singing them.

3.6/5

It was alright

First half is fairly decent singer songwriter fare. Second half sounds kinda like the Pixies.

When this album started I was like "Oh sick, this will be fun!" I didn't have that same enthusiasm at the end...

Enjoyed the difference in sound between the acoustic side and the electric side. Loved a few of the tracks on the album (My My Hey Hey, Powderfinger, Sail Away, Hey Hey My My) but the rest were just ok. (3/5)

The first half of this is acoustic, and I actually kind of liked it more than the previous Neil Young album I listened to. The back half is more rock, and not too bad as well. So it turns out that I mostly hate Neil Young's 60s output (so far). 3/5

Highlights: "Powderfinger," "Ride My Llama," "Thrasher," "Hey Hey My My (Into the Black)" Ragged Glory would give us much more of the key sound here, but nothing there is as good a song as "Powderfinger," and this album feels more engaging and less monotonous because, like Stop Making Sense, it steadily builds and builds in ensemble and dynamics until it can't go higher, and then holding that energy feels more rewarding because it's been earned. The unexpected downside, also found on Ragged Glory, is much of the songwriting. Young can be uncomfortably uninhibited and leak out some deeply embarrassing pseudoironic ideas ("Pocahontas"), but it's also sometimes just erratic and unstable ("Sedan" and "Hey Hey"). Understandable that "Powderfinger" and "Into the Black" were historically raucous and raw guitar performances, where the gate is crumbling under a totally wrecked signal. We haven't really gotten dirtier than that; people have explored other flavors and frequencies, but what we have here is basically the limit.

This is the seventh album starring Neil Young that I've had so far. That is way too much Neil Young for a lifetime. Best album by him so far though. "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" is probably gonna be the only song by Neil Young that I'll actually remember after I'm done with this project. Also put your music back on Spotify you old miserable geezer. Listening to music on Youtube feels degrading somehow.

it was ok, not in love with neil youngs voice, this isnt my brand of rock that i prefer, most of the songs sound the same.

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: My my hey hey

Belle progression, belles guitares, textes curieux

ok

Neil Young number five. I've been all over the place with his albums. This one has its own feel sometimes, although I don't think it rates with some of the others, and I'm really thinking that Young is over-represented in this project at the expense of other deserving artists.

I didn't really love it, but I tolerated this album just fine. At no point did a have an overwhelming urge to hit skip, and I did appreciate the change in style mid-album...I guess that is worth something...just not quite enough to move the rating arrow.

Back when I was in college, I used to hang out at this bar where *so much drama* went down. There was this one bartender who had zero tolerance for Neil Young and this other guy who apparently *lived* to play Neil Young. Oh, and did I mention the magic tricks? Yep, the Neil guy would perform magic for women like he was auditioning for a spot in Vegas. I couldn’t tell what was more awkward—the bartender’s quiet rage as Neil’s greatest hits blasted or the magician’s attempts to charm women with card tricks. Honestly, I just went there for the wings. Best wings ever.

Liked the first half. Apparently the second half is very influential, but wasn't my thing.

My my, hey hey, the front end of this album is not okay. Featuring some of the most dismal and grating recordings in Neil's catalog, if not of all time, this album shouldn't be on this list. Neil has plenty of music in his career to pick from, this is not the album I would have chosen. It finally starts to pick up a bit with Powderfinger. This album is supposedly a mix of live and studio overdubs and it shows with the rough mix and sloppy performance, but goddamn are the guitars in Hey Hey, My My nasty as fuck. +1 for that tone that's going to haunt my dreams

Not a huge fan of Neil Young, i think its his general demeanor and ego. The album is not bad, it has its enjoyable moments. Overall positive, but I don't need to listen again

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The more I listen to Neil Young, the less I like his albums. There's still a few songs on here that rock, but on the whole, he feels really overrated.

A mix of live/studio album from 1979. The odd highlight such as the opening track but overall - just whelmed. I'll check out the more acclaimed albums for a better idea.

this is a fine album. neil young is always going to have good sing a long, lead line laden guitar rock. fine in the background. a bit repetitive to me, at times.

not bad, decent songs none stood out except hey hey my my

not on Spotify

I couldn't 'cause it wasn't available in my country...

B-side was surprisingly heavy

Hyvä levy. Outo konsepti jälkiäänittää levilevyn päälle ehkä? 3/5

Just like that man a lot and even the live „Album“ is Good.

It’s just okay for me. A generous three for My My Hey Hey or Hey Hey My My depending on your preference.

Pleasant but forgettable

I liked it. Neil Young may have a bit of a whiney voice but I'm into that.

It was fine.

Acoustic 1st half vs. electric 2nd half was an interesting experience.

The first half of the album was more folk rock, the second half more rock. It was a pleasant listen but I don't find this album particularly special. 3.25-3.5/5

This feels good, this might be one of my favorite Neil Young albums I've heard other than Harvest! Definitely less hit potential than Harvest, but it's really solid all the way through, and the band just adds an extra flavor to it. I would absolutely put this on while doing other things. Neil Young never ceases to get me just a little more bittersweet-feeling than I did before. 3/5

Given his vocal styles and guitar chops, Young was always better live. You never knew what you were gonna get. It felt like a real performance; never the same things twice. I also much prefer Young to his predecessors like Dylan. He's a more relatable lyricist who's words transcend the time in which they were written...for the most part. That said, the first half of this record, made up of mostly acoustic arrangements and Neil's voice, COMPLETELY obliterates the back half, which is a much more studio-driven, full band collection of tracks.

Just fine really I liked Hey, Hey, My My

ok, esse é tipo o quarto album dele que eu recebo, mas eu gostei de todos ate agora então pode continuar. dessa vez é ao vivo? eu não entendi, parece ser meio a meio. o lado A falta rock, não que neil young seja o cara mais rock de todos, mas enfim. o lado B ja começou mais forte. sedan delivery é foda, meio glam rock até. é um album ok.

Ágætt stöff.

Not exactly revolutionary but it's ok

I think this is a case of liking the things inspired by this album more than I like the album itself. It's fine, just nothing that keeps me coming back for more.

The Crazy Horse presence makes things a bit lukewarm here.

Not bad. Started out sad, but got better. The R and A in that font look almost the same. Another album, where people in the YT comments talk about their deceased loved ones. + Ride My Llama + Sail Away + Powderfinger + Sedan Delivery

F you Neil Young. You think that taking your music from Spotify is gonna change anything ... you sexxy mutton-chopped beast... YEAH it will ... YEAH you are... I'd ride your llama any day... "My, my, hey, hey, I had to go to YT to listen today ..."

The bookends ("My My, Hey Hey" and "Hey Hey, My My") are great, and some of my favorite Neil Young songs. I also just love the concept of doing that on an album. However, there's not much to support them in between. My least favorite Neil Young is the stuff that's a bit too folky and slow and wallowy. And that's most of this album. I usually think of Young as a good lyricist, but "Thrasher" left me scratching my head. A little too on the nose and cringey. And why is he wondering how he lost his friends!? He "got bored and left them there!" "Welfare Mothers" was another weird one that didn't work for me. "Powderfinger" and "Sedan Delivery" were the closest the rest of the album got to my preferred version of Neil. Rust may be always awake, but I'm not sure I was for the middle of this album.

Nice but my go to is Harvest, didn't get the same feel from this one but it was nice. Obviously the exception is Hey Hey My My which is a staple of his.

3/5. It’s got some pretty great songs but if this was half its length and just an EP, it would be great. Just some songs that sound like other ones and aren’t unique enough to stand on their own.

Good, some parts very good

Another Neil Young album on the list and I'm fine with that. It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

Oh, did Neil Young write "It's better to burn out than fade away"? I guess I didn't know this was Neil Young. Has anyone ever said, "HEY MAN, NICE MOUTH ORGAN SOLO, DO ANOTHER ONE!"? He's very much like Dylan for me, I'm not quite sure whether I hate his voice or not. Songs are good though. The rest of the band just showed up. I think I like his voice. Is Into The Black or Out of the Blue better? I like the guitars in Into better. Some real fucking passion in that song. Good songs, I'm leaning towards liking his voice. 3 / 5 stars.

I'm giving this 3 stars. I should give it 2 for having to endure listening to it on Youtube. I hope we're done with Neil Young, but fear we'll get another album in a week.

This sounds exactly like every other Neil Young album. Which is completely fine.

Some good songs here. Anyone else hear Candle in the Wind in Thrasher’s harmonica solo?

this is a mediocre Neil Young Album. Enjoyable, but no idea why its a 1001

Somehow Neil Young always soothes me, but I'd never go out and buy an album of his.

Not much to say. Okay.

Pretty average

I think this is the best Neil Young album we've had? Like the two different versions of the same song to start and close the album, agree that Powderfinger is great, and I don't think there's a bad song on it? 3/5... closest we've had to a 4 in a while but I still don't like Neil Young's voice.

Interesting that the album got heavier as it progressed. Raw guitars and simple but effective rhythms. Last song is a banger.

I've heard a lot of these before that I didn't realize I'd heard. These songs have a melancholic, nostalgic edge that is not afraid to come off as sentimental. Slightly saccharine, but in that way that Neil Young always is. Per usual, the guitar playing is phenomenal and beautiful, and rightfully takes the spotlight from the singing. Some lyrics that are inscrutable and/or uncomfortable through a modern lens, but not offensive. I need to read more about this album to understand its angle. "Powderfinger" is really good. I found "Sail Away" underwhelming. There's an element of irony and commentary that doesn't translate well in the modern era but I guess was understood at the time - much of Neil's career seems this way, with some things being more on the nose than others. "Sedan Delivery" sounds like The Doors could have written it. Not my style of jam honestly - too much 60s psych. "My My, Hey Hey" and "Hey Hey, My My" kick ass. Ending on such a hard note was a great choice, especially since the preceding two tracks were much weaker than the album started.

I was recently made aware that Neil Young makes a whopping nine appearances on this list. Can one man really have that much influence and power in this book? That's a lot of amateur singing to get through. Anyway, this particular sound is better for Neil Young. The singer-songwriter vibe coupled with his, admittedly, mediocre voice makes the music sound more genuine and natural. There's also tinges of melancholy that adds another layer to the music. Some of it is quite nice, actually. Still not something I'd go back to but it was a nice listen. Standout tracks were Powderfinger and Sail Away.

Awakrd to find on spotify because Neil Young's estate hates us. Let's see.

I think I get it now, I get why people are into Neil Young, but I still think he's got the whiniest voice I've ever heard.

Not usually a Young fan, but the addition of Crazy Horse on this LP balances out what I usually dislike to make for an entertaining product. The gradual ramp from the slow as molasses tempos Neil favors to some nearly breakneck songs at the end of the album was a fun ride, and there’s some great sizzling guitar on here to underscore the usual narrative songwriting that leads to a fun and unique product.

Meer fan van het 2e deel, die wat harder is. Het eerste deel vond ik heel eentonig

3.5/5. It's Neil Young, so it's a bit above average, but overall fine.

I rolled my eyes when this showed up. After Dylan's live album last week, I thought the algorithm was trying to White-Guy-With-Guitar-And-Harmonica me to death. But I enjoyed this way more than I expected. Never was a huge Young fan, though I always respected him and enjoyed his contributions to other bands. But his voice always grated. Not at all on today's listen, though. I might give this one another listen at some point to see if it grows on me even more.

Can't listen to this because I have Spotify and Neil Young does not! It's likely I'd give Neil a 4 for his music and a 2 for his curmudgeonly views on audio quality.

My My Hey Hey is a certified godpiece. Thrasher is ok, it's funny to hear Neil Young say rock will never die, his voice just sounds too nerdy to say that. Love that harmonica. Ride my llama was ok, nothing to write home about, kinda boring for a song with a great name. Pocahontas stood out, I really liked that song. The rest of it kinda blended, probably as a result on not actively listening... 3.5 stars that I'm giving 3 because I had to listen on youtube... I'm gonna listen to some kpop now.

Turns out I really like Neil Young’s music beyond his major hits. His voice is very soothing, and I enjoyed the lyrics in these songs. I liked Powderfinger most of all.

Classic Neil Young sound.

Ganska bra skiva.

Gets progressively better (less folky) but not my thing. Opener and closer the highlights

Enjoyed the second half more than the first half, but loved the songs "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" and "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)" which bookend the album. Sounded like classic Neil Young with some more interesting heavier rock later in the album. The line "better to burn out than fade away" is present here which I've heard referenced a lot (not sure if I agree with it, but unfortunately pervasive in music i.e. Cobain, Staley). I enjoyed the album overall, but wouldn't look to actively listen again. Great campfire music.

A harder rock album than Neil would usually create. He does a good job and the album has a lot of range. Some tracks are fun to listen to and some fall short. I’ve never been a fan of live music, so that doesn’t help my opinion of the album. I’d like to give it a higher score, but I honestly don’t think it earned it. It’s sort of a forgettable album. 3/5

saoulée sur la fin tu connais mais mention spéciale pour le premier morceau

Have a couple of albums, not a big fan

Good album. Hey hey my my, is the best track. A lot of other good songs as well. Some of it was live.

ну чё-то не моё

No está en Spotify ni una sola canción
