This should be a sticky! I think I've gotten past the excitement of it being a new Neil Young album, and the seriousness of the lyrics are really starting to hit. I'll be buying multiple copies of this as gifts.
I'm digging Restless Consumer now, has a bit of a Be The Rain vibe to it.
I'm on my second listen and Restless Consumer is the standout so far.
In the land of the little kings
Profit is the only thing
And everywhere the little kings
Are getting away with murder

"What’s Orphans? I don’t know. Orphans is a dead end kid driving a coffin with big tires across the Ohio River wearing welding goggles and a wife beater with a lit firecracker in his ear." - Tom Waits
I'm only 5 songs in, and this might be one of the best albums ive ever heard!

This album is awesome. I mean this is some good good stuff.
impeach the president is really cool. I can so hear the crowd chanting flip flop and neil closeing the concert with this song or at least the first set.
I guarantee they will play it on the CSNY tour this year and it will be cool.
Sounds s little like ragged glory just with shorter songs.. and that is not a bad thing.
I'm upset because i want to listen to the new pearl jam but i cn'at stop listening to neil!

i've heard the record comes out in stores on the 6th...but the 9th would make more sense, no? anyone hear about the release date?
I've heard there will be multiple versions. The first will be the cd, with the 10 songs. There will be a cd/dvd combo coming out with making of, and extra tracks. This will be out at some 'later point'. I think I'll buy the iTunes version, skip the initial cd, and wait for the cd/dvd version to get a actual hard copy of it.
Also, check out this link on Neils site, he shows how Rolling Stone edited his interview:

yeah, i'm with you on this one merkinball. the prairie wind dvd with the in studio recordings was phenomenal. same with the greendale and vicar st. dvd. i'll wait for the whole package this time.
Anyone pick this up today? I've been calling local stores and it seems i've found one (tower records that has a copy). I'll have to make the treck into downtown atlanta after work to get it. Best Buy told me it was coming out in June (must have talked to someone who did not know WTF they were talking about i know thats not true.) The girl at Circuit city told me they will have it tomorrow.
Just wondering if anyone has actually picked it up. If so where did you get the physical cd from?

hey intodeep, neil's site says that the cd's are coming straight from the manufacturer to stores so the release dates for each store will differ quite a bit.
i'm holding off on picking it up because there is supposed to be another version coming out with dvd once it is all worked out. it's tempting to pick up the copy as it is though!

Yeah I finally found a store in the burbs where i live that has 1 copy. The only other places i found that had it were downtown and i just wanted to avoid the rush hour traffic to get into downtown to get it. Stores like Target, Best Buy, and Circuit City were useless.
I heard about the dvd/cd combo coming but i've got to have it in my hands today and for albums like this i dont' like using itunes so. I'll buy this one and the combo when it comes out.
I should have a copy in my hands within the next 30 minutes

i got a copy today at circuit city! normal jewel case with booklet and all the lyrics. i bought it, parked myself in the mcdonalds parking lot down the road with some fries and and drink and soaked it in awesome awesome awesome album. lets impeach the president gave me chills. i'm so happy he had the balls to make this album, it needs to be heard.
My favorite Pearl Jam song: "Corporate Greed Boat Asshole Behind a Counter in the Oval Office"

Be sure to call/email your local radio stations to request these songs and get the Neils message out.
