One of his very best mellow albums

Review Score: (10/10)
I've made a point of buying every new Neil Young album since 1987 the first time I see it available, and this album is probably my favorite album of his since I started that tradition. This album is more and more rewarding every time I listen to it. That said, it's no "Zuma". It's very mellow and of a piece with the quieter parts of "After the Goldrush" with a more hopeful and experienced perspective. It took me a few listens to come to this conclusion, but that often seems to be a mark of great music, not having the full beauty strike you the first time out. Once you start listening, you may find you have trouble removing this album from your cd carousel. NICE job, Neil, keep it going, it was worth the wait.
