    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.

    this record is great. I'm blown away.

    this has been quite a year for music so far.

    new PJ, new Pollard record, new BTS.....new NEIL.

    Yep.

    If there's a single, this has to be it.

    Old, classic, great fuckin Neil track.

    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!

    Last night on the radio they played Comatose and Gone, then followed it up with Looking For A Leader. That was really cool to hear.

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