Rust Never Sleeps

I tried to come up with an actual review, but I couldn’t.

PASS. I've listened to it already and I truly hate it. It's boring, monotonous shit for me. 1/5

I enjoyed powder finger I felt like this album was a wanna be bob Dylan singing mediocre songs about native Americans. Only one or 2 songs grabbed me and I found it to be dull for the most part.

Shit album

Just an insanely boring album, I couldn't even finish it.

Loved enough Young/Horse to be completely disappointed in this one. Not enough character

‘Pocahontas’ captures what I find so risible about Neil Young. It starts by describing the Native American genocide in boilerplate terms: 'they killed the buffalo', 'they came with their firesticks', 'modern life is all shingled roofs and taxicabs'. It's trite, but harmless. Next though, he describes how he wants to fuck Pocahontas so she can tell him how she ‘felt’ about it, while Neil (we can imagine) noodles on the guitar and tells her how she's 'totally right on, man'. The track's final image, and I suspect Young's real fantasy, is of he and Pocahontas sitting around a fire discussing indigenous rights with Marlon Brando. Shortly after this track there's a corker about how Welfare Mothers make better lovers. Here Neil is even more out to sea than he was with the Native Americans, with the only touchstones he can conjure being the city laundromat and loitering on the street with her multitude of children. I guess you could say that anything Neil Young is about the guitar playing: make a fucking guitar album then Neil, and keep your trap shut. 1*

5/7/2025: boring, dumb lyrics, bad voice, this guy sucks.

Neil Young is genuinely one of the most boring artists I've ever listened to.

Neil Young's vocals are too whiny for me.

not my thing

Nope, can’t do it. One star is too high

I'm not a big fan of this type of music. Harmonicas leave me cold. Neil Young's voice is grating. Sure, yes--Neil Young is a genius and without him, we wouldn't have grunge. Whatever. Could a female artist get away with being this unappealing and annoying? Nope. Not for me.

Wasn’t bad but didn’t grab me

I'm not getting baited into listening to another Neil Young album. Please note that I gave this a 1 without listening to it, but I'm probably also right about it.

yeah kinda bad ngl. Draining to listen to. 2 out of the 9 tracks didn’t bother me. Fav tracks (actually only tolerable ones): My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) Thrasher Wtf: Ride My Llama?????????

it's inexplicable for us to still be coming across more neil young albums in this exercise, and this is so aggressively mediocre even within what we've gotten so far that i thought i was going to turn to dust like an avenger in end game

I thought the more of hear this guy is finally get it. But man. It's just terrible. I hate how he doesn't really sing but clearly doesn't have any flow like a rapper either. I must have dozed off because somewhere around the halfway point someone plugged in a guitar which at least made it listenable. Probably because it went a little way to masking his horrible lyrics and voice. Every time he is on my list I swear at myself for blowing to listen to these albums the whole way through.

Harvest: good yield Rust never sleeps: rusty indeed. I do not quite get the semi live/studio approach. On this rendition, the typical Neil Young's piercing voice is really like tiring for the ears...

Neil Young has always interested me because despite being a successivement folk veteran in the ’60s, he later chose to embrace a dusty, rugged rock sound, going against the grain of most of his peers. Both sides of him are present on this album, but being more « into the Black » than « out of the Blue » myself, I’m left frustrated—especially since the acoustic parts are disappointing. The whole “better to burn out than to rust” spirit comes through more clearly in latest parts of his discography. This record, however, feels unbalanced and rather unremarkable to me.

Very boring.

So boring. Only Welfare Mothers gave me anything.

Too many Neil Young albums appearing on here. Dreary

Neil Young stated he prefers MAGA conservatives not enjoy his music. I am respectfully saying fuck him and rating this and all Neil Young albums with a '1' because I can't use zero. Did not waste my time

I don't really like Neil's voice or how he sings. Pass.

Really didn't like this one. There's something uniquely insulting about how boring it is.

Not a fan of this one at all. Not sure if it's because I've recently noticed that Neil Young sounds like a muppet, which may colour all future listening. More likely, none of this album touches the greatness of his best work.

Fuck Neil Young. What a douche nozzle.

Welfare mothers just completely took my out of this album, listening with 2024 sensibilities telling people welfare queens fuck good makes the entire project unlistenable. I tried to find information, trying to find concrete evidence it was satire or something but all i got was a couple of fans saying it's obviously a joke and a few more saying neil was going through a phase during this time.

Boo

Each song felt 10 minutes long. I would listen to 20 slipknots over this.

Mind-numbingly boring and formulaic rock. Everything is humdrum and by rote. Save yourself the time and skip this one.

Live album and soft music, immediate discard for me.

kinda boring if you ask me

I don't like Neil Young's voice.

Nicht meine Richtung

Not good

Put me to sleep, works great as a melatonin replacement.

This is a quandary. As far as I know, live albums are a rehash of music that has already been released. But this looks like all new music. Which is a conundrum. Who would pay to go to concert when you don't know what the music sounds like? I have to stay with what I know.

Liked Song My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)

This album made me like Neil Young less. Absolute peak boredom.

The type of music that is passable to hear playing softly on the speakers of a country themed restaurant, but nothing I'd ever choose to listen to

I get a bad taste in my mouth now when I see the names Young, Nash, Stills & Crosby. Okay it wasn’t THAT bad, the guitar is nice I hate the yeehaw america *eagle noises* vibes

Not available on Spotify

Good! One star off for swears.

Whining vocals, mediocre melodies

Some people can cook asparagus incredibly well but I still don't want to eat it. This album is undeniably an artistic masterpiece, but I wanted to take off my headphones basically the whole time I was listening. Favorite song: Thrasher

Fuck Neil Young 0⭐

Not working for me

I could not finish. Every song sounded the same.

Problematic lyrics and most songs sound similar

Not available on Spotify

No music here - just noise

I’m on my hands and knees begging for a modern album.

nicht bei Spotify anhörbar - Gott sei Dank!

Well since Neil Young refuses to be on Spotify I refuse to look it up on you tube. lol Plus I don't think I even like his stuff very much.

Cant listen to

Neil Young was supposedly 34 when this album was recorded but I'd bet two nickels he was actually 85. I can't otherwise understand how he somehow sounds like an old man shaking his fist at clouds in the sky. Seriously - picture Ab Simpson when you listen to his whiney, shakey voice with no range at all. Maybe Neil Young was the voice actor for that character all along.

interesting voice, good song writing, nice melodies, but I can already tell this is not gonna be an interesting album for me, the songs sound like they go nowhere

Unavailable on Spotify

This was not my taste did not care for it sounded like a struggling garage band .25/5

Not available

Bruh this one made me sleep. Didn't afe like fine wine ig 1/5

Don’t like Neil Young

Like hearing foxes scream in the street.

I don't love Neil's nasal voice, and the mix of the rest of the band is kind of thin and mid-heavy.

Not on Spotify anymore.

I'm in the minority, but I can't stand this. It's boring folk with Neil Young's whiny voice. A close friend & I talk about this because she loves Neil Young, but I've yet to find the majority of his work redeeming. Honestly, this whole genre can take a hike.

Didn’t listen as not on Spotify

Hate his voice so much

Not working in Spotify Israel

Was not available to listen to on Spotify due to licensing.

This fool took all his music off Spotify and really thought he did somethin. For that reason, fuckem

This album was heading for a 2, for being mostly inoffensive, laid-back, if overly boring folk. But then Welfare Mothers came on, and I could no longer claim this album to be inoffensive or laid-back. I don't know if it's the live recording or the band just sucks, but their half-assed attempts at 'rocking' on the next track Sedan Delivery were downright embarrassing. The redux of Hey Hey My My has a weird conflict of guitars that are trying to sound rough and rugged, but with Neil Young's wishy-washy, dainty vocals the whole thing becomes unconvincing and farcical. I award Neil 1 dumbell, so he might lift it to get his testosterone up a bit, or maybe tie it around his nutsack, so that his balls might finally drop. 🔩

BBZ neildeio paklasyt per spoti neklausiau

Not really my type of music but some song were a little good.

Not on Spotify

Saw another review saying something along the lines of this is a terrible introduction to Neil Young if you've never heard his work before and I'm inclined to agree. This is the first time I've ever tried to listen to an album by him and it was one of the most tediously boring listens since I've started on this website.

It’s not even on spotify

Not avail on Spotify

Not on spotify.

Brauche ich eigentlich gar nicht hören. Stimmt. Neil Youngs erbärmliches Gejaule ist unerträglich. Generischer Schrott.

Neil Young may just genuinely not be for me. So much crooning, so little interesting riffs.

Can't find it on Tidal, so skip. Probably a year or so later I come back to take a stab at the albums I missed or skipped on the first run through, and by about track 3 I'm thinking that I might actually have preferred to slit my wrists. His voice is not exactly good, the guitars are, when they're not jangly, oppressively strummy. I'm not going to finish this, am I? No.

A bit boring

Pas fini Le combo guitare acoustique / harmonica c'est définitivement pas mon truc

Not for me.

SO BORING I don't understand classic rock at all

stupid country

didnt listen cuz it looked boring asf

why is this album even on here all songs sound the same blah blah blah - minus all points for that Pocahontas song

not for me at all

Not my thing

1.5 bra låt, resten var trash tier.

Great!!
