Broken Arrow is one of my favourite Neil Young records. It's dark and brooding, yet is an illuminating and rewarding listening experience. The first three songs all end on hypnotic one chord jams, full of the sloppyness that makes Crazy Horse for me so appealing. Final song 'Baby What You Want Me To Do' was recorded live with just one mic and... I dunno... it just captures something that a standard soundboard recording would have missed. I felt I was at the show it was taped at, I felt I was there.
Broken Arrow is perhaps not the most accessible Neil record but any fan of Cortez and the like might be interested.

Although I am not a serious Neil Young collector (I only own three albums), and can not be said to be a great authority on the field, I find the sound and "spirit" of this album to be simply overwhelming

This albumn starts, in my mind, along the same lines as 'Ragged Glory'. Back by Neil's side are Crazy Horse (for the whole albumn) to bring us another classic rock epic.
The first three songs are the best as Neil and the band really get into their stride. Each are full length rockers with lengthy guitar solos and the deep groove that we have come to expect from Neil and Crazy Horse's collaborations.
After that, the albumn tends to get progressively more mellow (although never quite achieving that) until it is drawn to a close by a live blues track that he preportedly performed anonymously at a suprise gig.
All in all, a very good albumn that is only slightly let down by one or two of the later songs that don't quite make the grade.

Broken Arrow
It's Neil Young.
He makes a statement. He lets us know how he thinks through music. This Broken Arrow cd is not the Neil Young music I like most.

Lesser known masterpiece
I love this album. Slip Away and Scattered are two of the best songs Neil Young has ever done. The whole thing is grungy and chugging, but the melodies are still there,... Read more

Dissapointing to a hardcore fan like me
I bought this album the day it came out. Not long before I had seen Neil in concert, he did not play a single song from this album and I now can see why. Read more

Standard latter-day Crazy Horse fare
While 1996's "Broken Arrow" was greeted with open arms by some in Young's fan fraternity, it has to be said that there's more than a slight feel that Young is coasting on... Read more
