A welcome re-release - honest!,
By Mr Cane Toad (Bangor, North Wales) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Re-Ac-Tor (Reactor) (Audio CD)
Generally reckoned to be one of the worst Neil Young and Crazy Horse albums, this deserves reassessment. Sure it has it's low points, 'T-bone' is okay for the first few minutes but goes on for too long and some of the playing is a bit loose even by Crazy Horse standards. On the up side 'Southern Pacific' is one of the best songs Neil Young has ever written and the sheer sonic barrage of 'Shots' gives most of 'Rust Never Sleeps' a run for its money. The rest of the album is a fairly raucous and somewhat eccentric selection of songs dedicated to surfers, old cars and ageing rockers. Business as usual then (only louder).

Not That Bad! Actually, Fairly Good,

This review is from: Re-Ac-Tor (Reactor) (Audio CD)
Re-ac-tor the oft-maligned 1981 offering from Neil & Crazy Horse is nowhere near as bad as people make it out to be, in fact i think it's rather good. As long as you approach it with an open mind and accept it for what it is a straight-ahead, no frills rock album then you might be pleasantly surprised. Defiantely worth giving it a chance! HIGHLIGHTS: Get Back On It / Southern Pacific / Shots.

Poorest effort from Neil,
By
This review is from: Re-Ac-Tor (Reactor) (Audio CD)
With the release of On the Beach ,simply Youngs finest moment there had to be down side, and unfortunately it was the coincided release of this effort from 1981. I don't know if this was released as a contractual obligation for Reprise before switching to Geffen or as seems more likely the distraction at the time of caring for his sick son.However it represents the nadir of his career (and of Crazy Horses) the songs are lazy especially the excruciating "T-Bone" where they just plod through each number almost on automatic pilot- that is however until the suprise conclusion- "Shots" where Young suddenly seems to wake up and plays and sings with passion in equal measure this though is too late to save what must be among his poorest offerings.
