Neil Young's new Film :D
I listened to this a few days ago on NPR. Was not impressed. Then I saw this film on you-tube this morning. It totally changed my mind 8)

Please let me know what you think.
I'm 7 minutes into it. Quite unusual. Title makes sense in more ways than one. :lol:
I'm not sure yet.

I'm really enjoying listening to the new Neil Young album. It speaks to me a lot more than Fork in the Road or Living With War did.
The videos are pretty cool too. Shows you how the album was made. A lot of feeling in there for sure.
OK. I'm sure now. Several good songs, but a great deal of it sounded like way too much noise. It's like a mad scientist got ahold of some Neil Young riffs and pieced together a bizaro world version of phil spector's wall of sound. Very odd.
Just my opinion. :D

Neil Young is a mad scientist of sound. :D
Then they had two of them working on this. The producer's touch was heard throughout. spector used percussion and echo chambers. These guys use mass quantities if distortion and tone bending & shaping effects beyond that. Don't get me wrong. I'm a big Neal Young fan. Still am.
A couple of the tamer songs, he says showing his age, worked for me. Especially the writing songs about love and war, whatever the name of that one is 4th song in, I think. Two or three later too, but this one stood out for me.
