"He Was Looking For a Freedom/He Thought He Didn't Know"

by Pantagruel , Dec 23 '08
Pros: Neil Young rises from the dead to deliver his strongest set of songs in years
Cons: the middle section is a little weak in relation to the rest of the album
One of the darkest albums he's created, Freedom marks a return to form for Neil Young after spending much of the 1980s sludging through one bad musical experiment after another (unintelligible computerized rock, halfhearted country, and ...

In 1989, Neil wasn't "Too Far Gone" to write a good tune now and again.

by Stairway2Drew Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 03 '02
Pros: "Rockin' in the Free World"; roughly half of the album is strong.
Cons: The other half sucks.
Artistically, Neil Young's been all over the map--- folk-rock, hard rock, rockabilly, soul--- and has been one of the most prolific artists of the past god-knows-how-many years. It's somewhat fitting, then, that, after going through artistic highs---...

Overhyped and Overrated, but a Solid Return-To-Form

by starcollector, , Jun 19 '08
Pros: A strong number of these tracks are near-brilliant!
Cons: Hardly comes close to even matching Rust Never Sleeps.
(Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

A high point for an erratic genius

by cddull , Jun 26 '08
Pros: Rockin' in the Free World (acoustic and electric), Too Far Gone
Cons: Hangin' on a Limb
I was 18 when I got my first taste of this album. Being of that age meant that my experience of Neil Young was limited to the truly bad Trans album and I was not aware of the brilliance of Harvest and Rust Never Sleeps from his earlier days. We had this ...

The Neil Young Sampler

by the_musician , Aug 20 '02
Pros: "Rockin in the Free World", versatility, lyrics, songwriting
Cons: Doesn't stay consistent with themes and messages

Neil Young must have been going through some sort of bizarre identity crisis back in the late eighties. Prior to the unusual 1989 release Freedom was the absolutely strange This Note's For You, which is a self proclaimed 'power swing' album where...

Give Me Freedom...Or Give Me Death

by Stone77777 , Jul 13 '00
Pros: Great intelligence and substance
Cons: Only sixty one minutes? Give me more....
Whenever I see a picture of Neil Young, I see a haggard, skanked up, burned out shell of a nut cracking, ball busting musician who appears to have shot straight through his prime and into otherworldly nefariousness. In fact, it has been my humble...

Neil's Perfect Album

by pcharlie , Jan 08 '01
Pros: Everything
Cons: None
When this album first came out, about the only thing I knew about Neil Young was that he had played with Crosbey, Stills and Nash and sang a couple of pretty tunes called "Old Man" and "Heart of Gold". The "classic rock"...

Neil's Best Album

by tprbob , Aug 08 '00
Pros: Great selection of different genres of music
Cons: None I can think of
I bought this album to fulfill a record club agreement. I had always admired the work of Young with Buffalo Springfield and CSNY. I had an LP of Rust Never Sleeps and was very impressed with it, especially Thrasher and Powderfinger. After 7 months...

Excellent Young CD

by NinaNee , Jan 14 '00
Pros: Don't Cry, Hangin' On A Limb
Cons: none
