Neil Young and Crazy Horse
Landing On Water
Genre: Rock
1.5 out of 5
My exposure to Neil is very limited. That shitty rockabilly nonsense and reading about Pono. It’s weird to me that Neil would be so committed to audio fidelity and yet have an album with terrible synthesizers and processed 80s echo drums in support of mediocre songs in his repertoire.
This does not endear me to Mr. Young. In fact, the giants of the 60s and 70s like he and Dylan…if their 80s output is your exposure (as it is mine and, no doubt, other youngsters) saying, “Butbutbut, ya gotta listen to their earlier, great stuff!” isn’t going to work.
Based on this there is no reason to go back and listen to his catalog, he’s a second rate Lindsey Buckingham or Kenny Loggins here. But, at least they can hold a note.
This is terrible
