Neil is just too happy.

Review Score: (4/10)
I receive each new Neil Young issue with great anticipation and am almost never disappointed, until now that is. Where is the acerbic wit, the energy, the creative genius that has characterized his great body of work to date? It just isn't there. Sorry to all you fans, I too am one. But I have to say it like it is. Neil is just too happy. I am happy for you, Neil. It is the rest of us, your adoring fans, who suffer and now must wait until a little crisis enters your life. Not that I am wishing you ill. If mediocrity is the price we must pay for a little happiness and contentment in life, so be it. You deserve it. You have given us so very much. It is okay to be happy. Just don't try and sing about it, okay?
