	Joni Mitchell, Dreamland; Neil Young, Greatest Hits - CD reviews - www.smh.com.au
		Young's greatest hits here are, according to the sleeve notes, "based on original record sales, airplay and known download history", which, like an ARIA platinum award, means anything you like, really.
		The fact is these songs are the best-known Neil Young tunes, the ones you will hear on classic rock radio, and come almost exclusively from 1969-78 with not a single song from the past 13 years.
		Sensibly, Mitchell's collection is not called a greatest hits; crucially, she had a hand in the song selection; thankfully, it is a thoughtful collating of a career.

	CD Review: Greatest Hits, Neil Young - Harvard Independent - Arts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Neil Young seems like one of those figures left over from the '60s whom no one our age knows quite what to make of.
		Fortunately for us, Neil Young came along at a time before reality TV and music videos, in that legendarily tumultuous era known as the '60s, when music was politics and rock-and-rollers still looked more sketchy than not.
		From the late '60s through the early '90s, Young wrote and released a whole host of classic songs that people still listen to and respect to this day, working as an integral member of Buffalo Springfield; Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young; and, of course, Neil Young and Crazy Horse.

	Neil Young: Greatest Hits: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Neil Young is the kind of man that appreciates albums in the traditional sense: cohesive beginning-to-end statements, occasionally thematic if the mood suits him, and preferably experienced through big analog speakers on crackly old vinyl.
		Young's stubborn integrity extends beyond his politics-- which inform all of his songs, but only define a few like "Ohio" and "Rockin' in the Free World"-- and saturates his music.
		Greatest Hits is obviously intended mostly for curious initiates or casual listeners (although the remastered tracks will likely attract hardcore Young fans, too), and it achieves its goals sufficiently.

	Abaxial Cameras :: Greatest Hits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Neil Young is something of an enigma...all at once a bit of a cranky prophet and also a tender hearted romantic.
		Young is one of the few rock musicians who seems to take great pains to ensure clear and well-imaged recordings.
		Young did not follow his own lyrics and so called "Words Of Wisdom" and just faded away which is why I give this album 5 stars.

	Blogcritics.org: Neil Young's Greatest Hits: The Greatest Ever?
		A Thrasher's Wheat Neil Poll on the Greatest Hits package indicates that fans are still holding out for the long awaited and ever delayed Neil Young Archives Box Set.
		Neil truly ranks as one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time, and sits comfortably alongside Joni Mitchell and Van Morrison for exceptional creative longevity.
		One of the most phenomenal aspects of Young's career is that he almost never writes and records material primarily to please a commercial audience.

	SOUNDTHESIRENS.COM - Review :: Neil Young - Greatest Hits
		Young is far closer to Bob Dylan, whose greatest hits span three volumes.
		Neil himself even realizes this, and, in his own cryptic way, apologizes for this half assed (and conveniently just in time for Christmas) cash in.
		The line shows exactly how mechanical, half-hearted, and capitalistic this CD really is: “Greatest hits inclusion based on original records sales, airplay and known download history.” This is the biggest rock tragedy since “Baba O’Riley” was hawking SUVs; and a sad statement about the lack of heart in the recording industry today.

		Neil Young Greatest Hits goes down into the vaults and returns with the songs remastered and remembered as those most closely identified with the singer-songwriter.
		It was Young's exploration of synthesisers and voice mutation in that period that alienated many longtime fans.
		Perhaps the greatest service of Greatest Hits is to bring listeners closer to the moment the music was created.

	Neil Young News : The Greatest Greatest Hits Disc Ever?
		To say that Neil Young's latest release - and probably his last on the Reprise label - is the greatest greatest hits package ever released might be your typical reviewer hype...
		We're talking Neil Young here, unquestionably one of the most important and influential musicians of all time, so when we hear his songs over and over we are able to cull new meaning from them at new times in our life, and having these re-mastered marvels all in one place is certainly a plus.
		In the case of 'Greatest', it brings me back to Harvest, when each beat-it-into-the-ground playing of Heart Of Gold invariably caused me to cringe, only serving to remind me of all the music that was left unnoticed, buried beneath the "star maker machinery" of AM/FM radio.

	Cokemachineglow.com - Neil Young: Greatest Hits
		For most acts, a Greatest Hits release seems like less an artistic retrospective of their favorite work than a collection of familiars for willing fans that can't be bothered to track down original releases just to skip over what they don't instantly recognize.
		There might be more "authentic" Neil Young in "Ambulance Blues" than a thousand "Heart of Gold's," but every phase of Young's musical evolution has its place and its fans; besides, I doubt any of us started at "Borrowed Tune" and went from there.
		To its biggest credit, Greatest Hits makes it easier for complete strangers of his work to become attached than any single disc or LP before it, and as such isn't as superfluous as this review might let on.

	Amazon.co.uk: Music: Greatest Hits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Greatest Hits documents the finest work from an artist who has not only sold in excess of 45-million albums, but whose influence can be heard on countless major bands since, such as Pearl Jam, R.E.M. and Wilco.
		Well, as a 5 star selection of Neil Young tracks there's little to fault this album - every one is top notch and together they cover a very fair cross-section of his often complex wanderings between folk, country and hard-rock.
		Brilliant though it is, "Greatest Hits" makes the chances of this even more remote, which is a great shame because his best work covers much more than what's on offer here and, as such, deserves much better treatment.

	Neil Young: Greatest Hits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For an artist as prolific as Neil Young, assembling a greatest hits set is like asking Hugh Hefner which of his girlfriends is most beautiful.
		Covering territory from most of Young’s creative periods, excluding his experimental 80’s era and most of his 90’s work, Greatest Hits is pretty much a rehash of his popular radio songs that battle Boston and Bad Company for air time on classic rock radio.
		Neil Young’s Greatest Hits could obviously fill four Cds, but this release serves as a nice collection for beginners.

	Neil Young: Greatest Hits - PopMatters Music Review
		The frequencies are comfortably uniform and the mix is warmer; in contrast, the standard CD version boosts the bass frequencies and attacks with the heat of contemporary album mastering.
		Unlike Decade, Greatest Hits skips out entirely on selections from Young's tenure in Buffalo Springfield and drops the darker descents of Tonight's the Night and On the Beach.
		If, like Young, you continue to long for vinyl's purity (minus the crackles and pops, which would have been a nice touch, come to think of it), the DVD-stereo may walk you one step back towards a reunion with that sound.

		After all these years we finally get a "Greatest Hits" which could be thought of more as a sampler of his many Hits even though it comes as a 2 LP set with a bonus 7" single (Sugar Mountain (mono version) / The Loner).
		This was cut from complied 30 ips analog master tapes prepared by John Nowland at Neil Young's Redwood Ranch Studios and mastered and cut by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering.
		After listening tests at the Ranch Neil Young decided that Classic's 200g Super Vinyl Profile was to be used exclusively for this long anticipated release which includes favorites such as "Cinnamon Girl", "Helpless", "Comes A Time", Harvest Moon" among others.

	Neil Young Reviews
		Neil Young has long been one of rock's great romantics, mourning the utopian ideals of the "hippie" '60s and his vision of what America was…or at least should have been.
		It was a career move akin to "pissin' in the wind," as the artist himself describes life on one of the album's most famous lines.
		Young had already recorded the harrowing Tonight's the Night, his indictment of '60s drug culture and the damage done, but his label rejected it as too abrasive.

	BBC - Nottingham - Entertainment - Neil Young - Greatest Hits
		A man of few hits in the UK this is nevertheless an album that deserves to find its place in any discerning record collection.
		Neil Young’s had plenty of hits with Crosby, Stills and Nash but this solo collection of 16 tracks (actually with a few CSN songs as well) shows why he has such a loyal following as a solo artist.
		All those perfect west coast harmonies are present and correct but Neil Young is much more than just a man with a guitar.

		For several years now, Young has been singing the praises of vinyl and the high-resolution 'super-saturated' DVD Stereo format.
		In addition to the high-res version, Greatest Hits also comes with a 'regular' CD version of the disc, for those who don't have a DVD player or those who want to listen to it in their car.
		According to the man himself, "Greatest Hits inclusion based on original record sales, airplay, and known download history." That's good enough for me. Neil Young's Greatest Hits is perfect for the newbies out there, and essential for longtime fans (especially those old enough to remember listening to these songs on vinyl).

	Neil Young - Greatest Hits - Stylus Magazine
		This is the first Neil Young album entirely devoid of creative expression.
		Anybody who thinks “Downtown”, “Revolution Blues” or “Sleeps With Angels” got the shaft is a clearly a Neil Young fan and should shut up and be glad they’ve got an extra fifteen bucks for when the guy finally drops that massive dozens-plus archival box set he’s been promising for over a decade.
		The recent re-release of his lost ‘70s works means that he’s finally satisfied with digital technology and I have a feeling that the commercial capitulation of this single disc fart is probably a “thank you” to Warner Bros. for letting him drop the long-awaited Ex-Lax gastric blast sometime soon.

	Neil Young: Greatest Hits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		After Neil Young left the Californian folk-rock band Buffalo Springfield in 1968, he slowly established himself as one of the most influential and idiosyncratic singer/songwriters of his generation.
		Young's body of work ranks second only to Bob Dylan in terms of depth, and he was able to sustain his critical reputation, as well as record sales, for a longer period of time than Dylan, partially because of his willfully perverse work ethic.
		From the beginning of his solo career in the late '60s until the late '90s, he never stopped writing, recording, and performing; his official catalog only represented a portion of his work, since he kept countless tapes of unreleased songs in his vaults.
