Having listened to this album streamed on Neil Young's website, I am awaiting the release of the album proper with aural anticipation (by Young's own admission, the quality of the webstream version is not as good as the CD will be). This is a great return to the likes of "Zuma" in terms of sound - but with a power trio quirkily matched with trumpets and a 100-strong choir; well worth the listen.
The real high spot is the politics. This is straight-forward anti-war, anti-Bush polemic, and it is done well. Of course it is already offending the malicious right in America; of course there are people calling him un-patriotic and, as a Canadian, challenging his right to comment. But he is measured in his response to such critics: he's been proud to pay his taxes in America for 40 years and is proud of his American family. He is also being as clear as he as ever been about war. When asked by a TV journalist "What is the song 'Let's impeach the President' about?" he gave a puzzled look and responded that it was "kinda in the title really". Same can be said for the whole album. Go buy it.

Firstly, I don't believe in ALL what Young is saying on this record. But that didn't put me off listening to it, and it shouldn't put it anybody else off. At first I thought it may be quite a cynical marketing move, but after hearing it there is no doubting the man's sincerity.
The music is good, and I don't think it ever gets much better than the opener 'After the Garden'. It is has a really strong guitar riff, a great bridge, and a really memorable melody, which is what his albums have lacked recently. The energy of this album is amazing, never more so than on 'The Restless Consumer', where Young half raps half screams into the microphone. The choir works very well, giving it a really atmospheric feel.
On the down side, I think some of the songs could have had more time taken over them. I know that he wanted to record it quickly, but just a bit of refining might have helped songs like 'Shock and Awe'and 'Looking for a Leader'. However as a protest album it is very affecting, and has even given me a different perspective on the whole issue of the war, which I suppose is its aim.
This is definitely the best album Neil Young has done in a long time. He sounds fresh and energetic, and his voice is great. Be wary that it is not as refined or as 'well-written' as the likes of Zuma and Rust and Freedom, but that it gives it an even greater energy.

Neil Young's politics have sometimes been dubious and his wavering between left and right wing views has often been displayed in his songwriting (Ohio,Rockin in the Free World,Lets Roll etc), but here he gives it to you straight !
But even if you disagree with his views (unlikely I think as he's pretty much preaching to the converted) , you can't fail to be impressed by the energy and life in this music.
What an indictment of the current music scene that its left to this gnarled old hippie to take a stand and put his opposition to the Bush regime into song.
The music will appeal to fans of Crazy Horse Neil rather than mellow country Neil and on tracks like Lets Impeach The President,Living With War,and Flags Of Freedom the music carries the message superbly.
For my money's worth this is his best since Ragged Glory.
