    Yes, I really think it is. It's angry Neil and it's got some great riffs. I think only Children of Destiny, and the chorus of Already Great (ironically), stop it from being a great album.

    I don't think it's very good. But it has some nice playfullness to it.

    Hitchhiker (2017). It’s just amazing that this was released 40 years after being recorded. It’s really special. Great versions of all these songs. Nothing in this world beats Youngs 70s voice.

    The Visitor (2017). Sometimes I just can’t resist Neil. Like on this album. Yes there is some halfassing and there is some ”stealing from Harvest Moon” but it also shows Neil having fun and letting Pomise of the Real have fun. Maybe not a great album in some objective sense. But it makes me smile listening to.

    I'd never hear NY covering Born In The USA until yesterday. Even though its weird because he's Canadian, it's a great cover.

    I love Hitchhiker, but I was a bit disappointed with this version of Give Me Strength to be honest. Maybe it's because I've played all of the other (previously released) songs a thousand times over the years, but there's something about it that spoils the flow of the album a little for me.

    ‘Peace Trail’, taken from Paradox. This was the first time POTR played the song with Neil, and Daryl used it in the film

    The Paradox soundtrack vinyl finally arrived today. I’ll be spinning the Cowgirl Jam later for sure.

    One thing I don't think has been mentioned before is that it's number 10 in the "Special Release Series". So far, only Hitchhiker (SRS number 5) has been released, and I don't remember seeing anything about Paradox being part of that series. Maybe that means the rumoured reissue of the Dead Man OST will also be part of the SRS series.



    I also picked up a copy of Silver & Gold on vinyl at the weekend to add to the haul

    I hope he follows through with filling in the gaps of the SRS. The Archive site hints at perhaps some other unreleased stuff that could hit the light of day. Most of them are the post it notes on the timeline (Homegrown, Chrome Dreams, Solo Trans, etc)
