the new Neil Young record is pretty great

[doctoracula]

much better than the last one
it's a solo album, but only 2 songs are acoustic. the rest are LOUD electric ones. it's about time he released another record where the focus is his guitar playing

[john k]

tis good. keep on rockin etc etc

[parock]

Is this one about cars again? I'll dl it and check it out.

[doctoracula]

thankfully, there's nothing about electric cars or coughing up the bucks

[doctoracula]

guys, seriously
this is really really really good

[parock]

i'm gonna check this out

I went out and tried to buy it on tuesday and couldn't find it. I live in a shit hole town, where my music is mostly bought online. but, I wanted it now. so i went out to target, nothing. I can understand Neil not wanting to have his album sold there, Pearl Jam should take another page out of his book, but target was the closest. Then I went to Best Buy. Apparently Best Buy is phasing out selling CD's, there is now one rack of best sellers, complete bull shit. My only other option for music within a 100 mile radius was FYE in the mall, and i didn't feel like taking a mall venture that day. the desert sucks. I guess i'll have to order this. I'm glad to hear it's good though, i was kind of skeptical after learning it was solo electric. But Stereogum has posted a couple songs that sound great, especially 'The Hitchhiker.'

[doctoracula]

the hitchhiker might be the best song on it. i really think this is his "time out of mind." i'm surprised best buy didnt have the LP. though it would've been like $35

[doctoracula]

i also love that he played all this stuff on tour before the album came out
it was advertised as a solo tour, so people came expecting to hear nice, calm acoustic songs
NOPE
apparently he even made shirts that said "i said solo, they said acoustic"
