 Greendale - Neil Young Album Review, Washington Post
But this is the work of Neil Young, a legend with a full account of goodwill to draw on.
(The lone exception, "Carmichael," is the strongest track, but it's a ringer for "Hangin' on a Limb" from Young's 1989 classic "Freedom.") A few of these tunes amble past the 10-minute mark, with most of the time eaten up by long interludes of Young noodling on his six-string.
Young has a sentimental affection for his characters, but he seems too interested in decrying the Powers That Be to make the Greens seem real.

 City Pages - Movies - Greendale
It's no small praise to say that the soundtrack to this, Neil Young's grainy, feature-length rock video, is the artist's best album since 1989's Freedom: To my ears, Young's anthemic male-female chorus on "Be the Rain" is the most affecting environmentalist prayer ever composed.
What's more impressive, though, is that the music makes the ill-conceived film it accompanies bearable--a good excuse, even, to hear Young's loosely woven, stream-of-consciousness rock opera in real time.

 Freedom (1989 album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freedom is an album by Neil Young, released in 1989 (see 1989 in music).
For other albums named Freedom, see Freedom (album).
The album contains one of Young's most important songs -- "Rockin' in the Free World".

 Amazon.co.uk: Freedom: Music
Realistically, a large element of this album is Neil making socio-political commentary, and he is not the greatest lyricist or thinker to pull that off.
That this song was written in 1976 and left off 1977's "American Stars n Bars" album tells you a lot about the material Young was writing around the time of "Freedom," an album which induces ennui more than ecstacy.
Freedom” – his best album from the 1980’s – opens with two of his finest tracks: the anthemic “Rockin’ in the Free World” and the driving acoustic riffs, wonderfully atmospheric sax breaks and lyrically brilliant textures of the 8 minute “Crime in the City”.

 'Prairie Wind' blows hot and cold - Entertainment - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper
Young's last great album, 1989's "Freedom" (a brilliant pastiche of old, unreleased songs) was any indication, many treasures await us.
Last year's concept album "Greendale," while no masterpiece, marked the end of more than a decade of water-treading for Neil Young.
For every gem, such as the tough acoustic blues of the title track and the beautifully evocative "Here for You," there are lazy recycle jobs like "This Old Guitar," an inferior copy of the title track to 1992's "Harvest Moon." Elsewhere, backup singers and string sections betray the album's charming plainness.

 Freedom by Neil Young CD
After spending the '80s going through stylistic changes, Neil Young released FREEDOM, a more straight-forward rock album that was no less lyrically complex despite its appeal to a broader piece of the mainstream.
After releasing a dizzying 7 albums in the previous 8 years which ranged from hard core rock of re-ac-tor to vocoder vocals on Trans to country on Old Ways and rockabilly with The Shocking Pinks, Neil released an album which seemed to have all of his best styles rolled into one.
Neil has always been an artist who has challenged conventions by altering styles and personas from year to year and from album to album.

The song, "Rockin' in the Free World," is probably the biggest reason why everyone needs Neil's 1989 album, Freedom, but not the only one.
And, of course, Neil bookends Freedom with two versions of the album's tour-de-force, "Rockin' in the Free World," starting with an acoustic live version and ending with the explosive, vitriolic studio take, a bittersweet faux-uplifting hard-rocker in the vein of Pearl Jam's "Alive."
Though Neil's songs remain as intriguing as ever, Freedom is an album not without its blemishes.

 Traces - Michal's Neil Young site
If the 48-year-old Young can be named Artist of the Year for 1993, it's not only because of what he's done over the last 12 months or so, but because of the extraordinary fusion of weight and grace in his work of the last four years.
I knew the process and the thought behind the people who were putting the album out; what they wanted me to do.
Even in 1967 and '68, with the superb Los Angeles folk-rock band Buffalo Springfield, he stood out - or didn't fit, dotting their albums with songs of torment and paranoia ("Nowadays Clancey Can't Even Sing," the shattering "Out of My Mind") among the celebrations and reveries.

As a result, Michael Moore will now direct a video of "Rockin' In The Free World," using clips from "Fahrenheit 9/11" as well as live film footage of Neil Young performing the song.
The track, first heard on "Freedom" in both live acoustic and electric studio versions, articulates the passionate anti-war message of the hit film and was used by the director with special permission from the artist.

 Neil Young's Heart of Gold
Again at the end of the 80's, the album "Freedom" marked the fall of the Berlin wall and became the anthem for a new era of persoanl freedom and music.
With over 40 albums with bands including The Buffalo Springfield, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and Crazy Horse, Young has never been easily categorized with influences ranging from folk, rock, punk, grunge, country, blues, and synth.
Even Young himself has been equivocal, describing it in one breath as his 'finest' album, dismissing it in the next as an MOR aberration.

Stills' excellent first solo album, STEPHEN STILLS, was released after the 1969 CROSBY, STILLS, and NASH album, the 1970 Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young DEJA VU album and release of the Ohio/Find the Cost of Freedom single.
The only other member of this band who even holds a candle to Stephen is ex Buffalo Springfield cohort Neil Young, who was only occassionally a member CSN.

 Weld - Neil Young Albums In Order

In it he casually mentions that the harmony vocals by Poncho/Billy/Ralph on Weld are overdubbed in the studio for the live album.

 Weld by Neil Young CD
Though rather than just being overtly relentless there is enough on this double album to keep the listener interested including a blistering electric version of "Crime In The City" from the Freedom album and an excellent version of "Cinnamon Girl" which is a Neil and Crazy Horse classic, and again is well performed.
Weld remains a good live album on a tour which became so very loud it made Neil go back to doing some country music ( Harvest Moon) and wind down the volume for a while.
Other highlights include the atmospheric and hypnotic "Like A Hurricane" which outstrips the previous live version on the Live Rust album in sheer power and a song which is always welcomed on a live release with that big looping riff being pumped out by the Crazy Horse as Young blazes away on his Les Paul.

 MSN Encarta - Search View - Neil Young
Young followed with a number of recordings for Reprise, including the hard-rock albums Freedom (1989) and Ragged Glory (1990); Harvest Moon (1992), a country-music successor to Harvest; and MTV Unplugged (1993), performed with acoustic instruments.
Young’s commercial breakthrough came with the album Harvest (1972), which reached number one on the Billboard magazine pop album chart that year and made him a superstar.
The pair formed the band Buffalo Springfield, which pioneered the style called country rock and is best known for its 1967 hit song, “For What It's Worth (Stop, Hey, What's That Sound).” Despite their success, Young and Stills had disagreements that led to the breakup of Buffalo Springfield in 1968.

 Young's 'Greendale' - The Washington Times: Music
In a way, "Greendale" is rescued by that inspirational haphazardness: It comes this close to simply being a decent, late-period Neil Young album.
Young's megaphone chanting, a jarring departure from the album's low-key tone, "Rain" is the only song on "Greendale" in which the protest becomes too strident.
Young has said in recent interviews that he was obeying his muse while writing "Greendale" and that he never set out to make a concept album.
