  Trans (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trans is an album by Neil Young, released in 1982 (see 1982 in music).
While the album was poorly received, some critics point out that the melodies are strong and that the album involves Young addressing new musical movements, as he did previously on Rust Never Sleeps and later with the grunge movement.
Originally released as an LP, the album was re-issued in 1998 on CD, although not in the US.

 Trans by Neil Young (lyrics & reviews)
It was so unexpected of Neil to turn out an album like this, and it was even more surprising that it was so entertaining, wedged as it was between his rockabilly album Everybody's Rockin' and his defiantly country album Old Ways.
Trans is a prime example of Neil's ability to shock even his most adoring fans.
Finally, Trans concludes with the incredible "Like an Inca" which follows in the footsteps of Dangerbird and Cortez, reflecting Neil's obsession with Latin American/Native American themes of spirituality and perseverance.

 Trans-Europe Express (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The idea for the album was apparently born during a lunch meeting with journalist Paul Alessandrini at the restaurant Le Train Bleu.
Alessandrini was later acknowledged on the album's inner sleeve.

"Trans Am's third and most controversial album, The Surveillance, marks a new direction for them as it is the first that they recorded and mixed entirely by themselves.
On Futureworld, their 4th and most controversial album, they leave behind all the doomsday prophets and false futurists, bringing us a tough vision of what is to come.
It was a time when the Soviet Union was the greatest threat to national security; Don Johnson valiantly fought the war on drugs every week during prime-time in a pastel colored wardrobe; and the year 2002 still seemed like a far-off land of flying cars, holographs and vacations on the Moon.

 Trans Am - TA (Thrill Jockey) - Drawer B Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Trans Am has aped its way into the hearts of nerdy post-rock aficionados the world over, and that’s no easy task.
The sequencers are blaring and the drums are as bombastic as the ones in “The Wild Boys” by Duran Duran.
Trans Am does have an air of pop sophistication, but it too often sacrifices songwriting for technical accuracy.

 Trans Am - Red Line (Thrill Jockey)
The album might not have the band's best song or their best set of songs, but in the maturity and breadth of its composition, arrangement, and execution, it is Trans Am's master work.
The album is Trans Am's first double LP, and it is designed to fit that format.
The songs of the album are also arranged as if for a double LP, each side containing one or two scorchers, i.e., keyboard pop or hard-nosed rock songs, and the rest mood pieces, like drum solos (via hand, stick, or machine) or more atmospheric keyboard pieces.

 LEFT OFF THE DIAL - Album Reviews - Trans Am: Liberation
DCs own, the title track of the album brought on the sampling of the DC Metro, a running-speed percussive flip into the fast-paced drumline of the track.
Liberation, first and foremost, is one of the darkest albums Ive heard in years, breaking away from electronic and into a more guitar-laden, rock out cynical attack on todays Bush America.
Trans Am, as a band, shows off their impressive style of music making with signs of change over the years.

 CD Baby: AMY JO JOHNSON: The Trans-American Treatment
This debut album is a compilation of original sexy, organic, rock tunes which give her once folksy style of writting the feeling of being plugged in and turned on.
She has this angelic-ness as well as a true rocker sound that is very enjoyable.
I've followed AJ's career since she started, and this album is a wonderful look into AJ herself.

 Trans Am @ Blogcritics.org
Opening up the album sleeve, you see the three jokers in one photo dressed in all white: Thomson in a top hat; Manley in his white fully unbuttoned button-down shirt, modest chest hair exposed; and Means looking like he just popped off the set of LL Cool J's video for I'm Bad.
The album tees off with two ass-kicking stomps equivalent to the best tracks (I Want it All, Play in the Summer) off their most accomplished (and previous) album, Red Line.
Though this album seems a bit disjointed at times and lacks the cohesiveness of past albums, it is still some of the most inventive (even if considered a pastiche), catchy, and listenable music that your dollars can buy.

 Neil Young : Trans - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
After two disappointing albums, Neil Young turned weird.
Employing synthesizers to distort his voice, he made an album that succeeded in sounding not much like a Neil Young album.
Actually, songs like "Sample And Hold" and "Like An Inca" were good, but the new techno version of The Buffalo Springfield oldie "Mr.
