Le Noise was pretty good but it got stale kind of quickly for me. I have high hopes though jeff O))) 09-11-2012, 08:24 PM yeah Americana was like a pleasant 2-listen deal and that was about it redbreegull 09-11-2012, 08:35 PM the last one that really got me was prairie wind, though I liked some songs on living with war also. D. 09-11-2012, 09:39 PM Is he ever going to make another album that does not have a gimmick attached? redbull 09-11-2012, 09:47 PM chrome dreams II was pertty good samuel redman 09-12-2012, 02:34 AM all of his albums are incredible samuel redman 09-21-2012, 11:07 AM listen to 3 minutes of studio Walk Like A Giant: http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=161004028&m=161420828 TuralyonW3 09-27-2012, 02:26 AM yeah this could be the best thing he's done in a long time: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Bemz-7fofcs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> samuel redman 09-28-2012, 10:31 AM is that a different mix than the 16 minute version? Raskolnikov 10-09-2012, 02:54 PM Well, he's 2/2 on this album so far - Ramada Inn kills it. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/O8qkDQ_QP8A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> samuel redman 10-09-2012, 05:00 PM check them out live if you can guys, the band is "on" like nothing i've heard from them in years i suppose they're hinting that this Alchemy tour will be their last, but you never know sppunk 10-09-2012, 06:51 PM At Farm Aid they were very strong, so I expect this album to be pretty legit. Americana IMO is pure shit though. Ugh. samuel redman 10-09-2012, 06:52 PM oh wow, i love it. feels like it picks up right where Ragged Glory left off TuralyonW3 10-09-2012, 07:01 PM Yyeesss MUST DEEEEEE LLLLLLL!!! redbreegull 10-09-2012, 07:06 PM sounds great. TuralyonW3 10-09-2012, 09:16 PM can't believe the vinyl is so fucking expensive. neil vinyl is often outrageously priced unfortunately TuralyonW3 10-09-2012, 09:17 PM Haven't been able to give enough attention to walk like a giant, but ramada inn is defintely some of their best stuff since broken arrow (1996) TuralyonW3 10-09-2012, 09:21 PM when one of your favorite musicians/bands does something awesome, it's so awesome (hint hint corgan) samuel redman 10-09-2012, 11:50 PM not counting Greendale since Frank didn't play in studio? TuralyonW3 10-09-2012, 11:55 PM dude they played enough fuckin' greendale to last for all time samuel redman 10-10-2012, 12:04 AM i just thought you were saying Broken Arrow since it was the last time all 4 did new material, my mistake TuralyonW3 10-10-2012, 12:53 AM Greendale was solid but I'm saying this is the best sounding crazy horse related material since broken arrow Raskolnikov 10-10-2012, 11:50 AM can't believe the vinyl is so fucking expensive. neil vinyl is often outrageously priced unfortunately Yeah, it sure is - but that's because dude gets that shit pressed in Sendai, Japan on the finest vinyl out there. (BECAUSE SOUND MATTERS) redbreegull 10-13-2012, 08:04 PM holy shit Ramada Inn is this album out yet samuel redman 10-13-2012, 11:11 PM nice that they pulled out DBTR again after a few years off what a great version of it too loving each Walk Like A Giant rendition they do live, and i think the band knows Ramada Inn is a classic redbreegull 10-14-2012, 05:09 PM Ramada Inn could swallow the whole world I just cannot stop listening redbreegull 10-20-2012, 08:37 PM hey Turalyon you should rank every Neil Young album, I'm really feeling him lately. I know most of the major ones I think but there are a ton I haven't heard. TuralyonW3 10-20-2012, 08:56 PM I saw the "Journey's" film today, pretty good record of the Le Noise Tour I will try to rank the albums soon.

i think it's absolutely good but i am not aware of any movement to rep it i don't know what the hype would be about since it isn't even weird enough for its reputation. it's just not at all bad overall TuralyonW3 10-20-2012, 09:50 PM is there really hipster hype about trans? i think it's absolutely good but i am not aware of any movement to rep it i don't know what the hype would be about since it isn't even weird enough for its reputation. it's just not at all bad overall I've definitely been exposed to some hipster hype yeah it's not a bad album...the quality of the songs really aren't tied to them being electronic-influenced or whatever MusicMan4 10-20-2012, 09:53 PM i went to a zuma fitness class and was really confused when this brazillian booty music started playing MusicMan4 10-20-2012, 09:54 PM in all my internet travels i just have never encountered any love for that album outside of a couple individuals here and there who don't seem to get backing MusicMan4 10-20-2012, 09:54 PM playing dead man right now TuralyonW3 10-20-2012, 10:11 PM playing dead man right now there are a couple repeated musical motif's between dead man and mirrorball "organ solo" on dead man is "fallen angel" and "i'm the ocean" redbreegull 10-20-2012, 10:13 PM just had Zuma on in the car, it kicks ass for sure. I've never heard any Trans hype. I've heard people describe it as his worst album. TuralyonW3 10-20-2012, 10:19 PM it's quite better a few of his others redbreegull 10-20-2012, 10:19 PM I also listened to Le Noise today for the first time in over a year. There are some real classics on here, but some of the songs seem to have already aged badly to me. Mostly the heaviest ones... they often seem to have good choruses, or good verse parts, but are weighed down by awkward, off-kilter feeling riffs that lose the momentum of the song without percussion. A good example is Angry World, which is a fairly dark, powerful brooder, until it gets to the part where he's like, "yeeeaaahh it's an angry wooorld yeeaah" with this kind of dumb sounding guitar line following the melody. TuralyonW3 10-20-2012, 10:24 PM i would revisit le noise for when you're more acquainted with the rest of his catalog le noise's solo electric stuff makes more sense as a "ghost" of some older crazy horse stuff, in a way... peaceful valley is pretty lovely redbreegull 10-20-2012, 10:32 PM yeah, I already know a lot of the crucial stuff. everybody knows, gold rush, harvest, on the beach, zuma, comes a time, rust never sleeps, tonight's the night, harvest moon, sleeps with angels, prairie wind, living with war and a few others too that I can't remember now as well as the decade collection, some buffalo springfield stuff, and deja vu. I loved Le Noise when it came out, I listened to it high when I was going to sleep for like 2 months straight my senior year. Some of it falls a little flat now for me. Same with Living with War. I played it to death in high school but now half the songs seem like clunkers. Weirdly, my first real exposure to full neil young albums was prairie wind and living with war and I have grown to understand more of his older stuff as I aged. TuralyonW3 10-20-2012, 10:35 PM based on the absences from your list above, i'd reccommend spending some time with: broken arrow year of the horse weld ragged glory time fades away mirror ball silver & gold also check out this monster from the otherwise just-ok are you passionate: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WzJzDh9nOTg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> MusicMan4 10-20-2012, 10:41 PM i need to finally listen to the crazy horse album TuralyonW3 10-20-2012, 10:44 PM i need to finally listen to the crazy horse album both of them! (that is the 1971 s/t as well as Crazy Moon from 1978) definitely some awesome stuff i honestly haven't listened to "loose" "at crooked lake" or "left for dead" http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/6b/CrazyHorseCD.jpg/220px-CrazyHorseCD.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ybQxTZnFAV0/Te27K2YgaiI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/Rd0RqQU4UqQ/s1600/Crazy+Horse.jpg TuralyonW3 10-20-2012, 10:48 PM <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iSl0_cjx9w0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> TuralyonW3 10-20-2012, 10:54 PM <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fOuwspm6G5c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> redbreegull 10-21-2012, 01:09 AM relevant in terms of rocking your god damn face off <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hvtdbfI1sqQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> samuel redman 10-21-2012, 11:17 AM Crazy Moon is an incredible album, i was blown away by it when i first got it, but then again for some reason i'm partial to Poncho's voice. Check out the show from 1975 when they played a few songs from that album, and it also has the early version of White Line for anyone interested in that. the recording is terrible but it's a cool sense of the show. though then again, back to Crazy Horse albums, i think one of, if not the best Crazy Horse songs is Lady Soul from at Crooked Lake. samuel redman 10-21-2012, 11:20 AM yeah, I already know a lot of the crucial stuff. everybody knows, gold rush, harvest, on the beach, zuma, comes a time, rust never sleeps, tonight's the night, harvest moon, sleeps with angels, prairie wind, living with war and a few others too that I can't remember now as well as the decade collection, some buffalo springfield stuff, and deja vu.

I played it to death in high school but now half the songs seem like clunkers. Weirdly, my first real exposure to full neil young albums was prairie wind and living with war and I have grown to understand more of his older stuff as I aged. make sure you listen to The "RAW" version of Living With War since you seem to like his rockers, and it's a cool stripped down album with some excellent bass lines up front. Are You Passionate? is probably in my top 5 just because i absolutely love his vocals on that album, and it has some versions of songs that were likely on Toast, which Neil Young said will come out. fingers crossed samuel redman 10-21-2012, 11:22 AM i like to think that Silver and Gold would now be considered one of his best if he had included "Out of Control" and "Slowpoke" which probably would have landed on it had it not been for the 1999 CSNY album. Silver and Gold, check it out redbreegull, you'll probably like the songs "The Great Divide" and "Red Sun" samuel redman 10-21-2012, 11:30 AM Sleep sWith Angels is painful to you Turalyon? i dunno, it has "A Dream That Can Last" "Change Your Mind" and "Driveby" which made it one of his i listen to a lot. Old Ways original version in Archives 2! TuralyonW3 10-21-2012, 11:45 PM Sleep sWith Angels is painful to you Turalyon? i dunno, it has "A Dream That Can Last" "Change Your Mind" and "Driveby" which made it one of his i listen to a lot. Old Ways original version in Archives 2! no sleeps with angels was painful to cut from the top 10...check out my post again. it'd be in my top 15 samuel redman 10-22-2012, 12:19 PM i wouldnt even bother with a list. would be too tough, i'd probably put anything of his on and think it was his best in the moment gonna pick up Journeys today or tomorrow, really excited for it Raskolnikov 10-22-2012, 12:59 PM gonna pick up Journeys today or tomorrow, really excited for it Right on. Lemme know what you think. Debating getting that for my Dad for Christmas, who's a pretty big Neil fan. Great list action in this thread. The inclusion of "Fillmore East" over "Massey Hall" blows my mind, and has thus prompted a re-listening of Fillmore. It is indeed great... but man, I love that Massey Hall show. Few live recordings are as moody and dark as that thing is. Love it. samuel redman 10-22-2012, 04:24 PM make sure you add Cinnamon Girl which was from the same East show and was made for dl from the Archives. samuel redman 10-24-2012, 01:08 PM oh, PP is out btw TuralyonW3 10-25-2012, 01:58 AM LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAKED Raskolnikov 10-25-2012, 05:32 PM Full audio from night one of Bridge School - quality stuff.

And how can you class Harvest Moon as a tier 2 Neil album?!? samuel redman 10-27-2012, 02:46 PM Natural Beauty, good idea Venom 10-27-2012, 03:02 PM Old King, You And Me, Harvest Moon, Natural Beauty. Raskolnikov 10-28-2012, 10:22 AM Old King, You And Me, Harvest Moon, Natural Beauty. Not to mention "One of these Days" or "Dreamin' Man"... redbreegull 10-28-2012, 04:43 PM Psychedelic Pill's easily the best album I've heard all year so far. And how can you class Harvest Moon as a tier 2 Neil album?!? by far the best thing I've heard this year, or last year either. I'm really blown away by this record. The 28 minute opener is probably the weakest part. Great instrumentation but the stream of consciousness rambling lyrics get old after awhile. Gonna get a hip hop haircut. Finding my religion. I might be a pagan. Rocking out my anger. But just there are no words for how intense some of these songs are I'm also not that partial to Harvest Moon though. It has some really good songs on it, but also some mediocre ones. samuel redman 10-28-2012, 07:38 PM the lyrics in Driftin' Back correlate directly to his book read it if you can redbreegull 10-28-2012, 08:02 PM the lyrics in Driftin' Back correlate directly to his book read it if you can yeah I figured it was about writing his book and thinking about his life. I will probably read it but I have a long queue of things to read so it could be awhile |
