There are two things my Dad made sure I was a fan of growing up. The first was the Philadelphia Phillies. The second was Neil Young. Last year, my Dad and I saw Neil in concert for the first time together, and the Phillies won the World Series. When I was twenty-eight...it was a very good year....
Anyway, this Neil Young album is kind of like the mid-nineties Phillies teams. It's not that great. But that doesn't mean there aren't great things about it. Sure, there are some really weird tunes, like "Transformer Man." But this album closes really strong, a la Heathcliff Slocumb. "Sample and Hold," "Mr. Soul," and "Like an Inca," are all solid tunes. The album's worth getting for the electronic version of "Mr. Soul" alone.
Check it out. Put on a Devo hat. Do the robot.
