    I think it is amazing. It reminds at times on Binaural. One time I thought he is going to sing Of the Girl. ;)
    It has a lot going on, soo good with headphones, and loud. Lots of noise.

    Personally I like it a lot. I'm a huge NY fan and, while I don't love everything that he's done, I feel he's only released 2 bad albums ("Broken Arrow" and "Are You Passionate") since his "80s phase". Two bad albums in 22 years is hardly 'a long time since he released a decent album' in my opinion

    IMO the album is okay. Not horrible. Just okay.

    It's his best since Greendale. I'm a Neil fiend, though.

    I think it's mindblowing sonically. His best since his records with Crazy Horse in the mid-90's.

    Just watched the vid for Hitchhiker on youtube & I thought it was good. It works I think. The song & the vid. Very cool to hear him writing about current issues & it works, doesn't sound stupid a 60something man singing about amphetamine for example. JMHO of course. :) Are You Passionate didn't grab me. I bought it but have barely ever listened to it.

    As other have pointed out, this is a very good headphones album. Being at work, I can't crank it to experience it without headphones, but I liked it on the first listen.

    Yep agreed even after the first listen. Very glad he recorded a new version of Hitchiker, it fits with the album. As opposed to Ordinary People which sounded out of place on Chrome Dreams 2.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    I like the album and I completely agree that it sounds much better with a good set of headphones.

    I bought it yesterday and late last night I took my dog for a walk while listening to it. Walking in the rain and dark it sounded awsome to me! Can't wait for walkies tonight!!!

    Yeah i went to a concert last night and driving home after dropping my friend off after midnight it sounded damn good with the windows down in the car up really loud.

    I think most neil fans will appreciate it for what it adds to his catalogue.

    like the new album
    daniel lanois's finger prints are all over the record some suttle yet effective production from a canadian producing legend

    as far as recent albums i thought prarie wind and livnig with war were both great albums especially living with war some great aggressive riffs on that album
