Neil Young "Living With War" Rock Music CD Review

Neil Young, The Canadian music Hall of Famer and former member of Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, and Nash has released his latest politically charged CD entitled Living With War. His second release in under a year.

Be warned that this CD is unabashedly a protest album by this Canadian born American.

Whether you're a fan of his politics or not, I think we have to acknowledge that lyrically this is an intelligent, and well thought out CD.

I like it for the fact that it is bound to elicit a response from all who listen. Without regard for positive or negative it will certainly keep the debate open and alive. Which is exactly why it's a good release.

I also like it for the song that closes it out. A 100 voice choir rendition of America the Beautiful.

Overall Living With War is Neil Young as we have come to know him over the course of the last 40 years. Outspoken and direct. If you don't mind that style you will enjoy this CD.

The standout tunes on Living With War include the title track Living With War [track 2], The Restless Consumer [track 3], and Lookin' for a Leader [track 8]. My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 5, America the Beautiful. Very nice!

The Questionnaire With Neil Cicierega

What are you doing these days?
Videos, songs, videos for songs, songs for videos. Those are the two things I'm good at, though I've been meaning to give ANSI art a serious go.

What turns you on creatively?
Either being in an energetic environment with other creative people, or being isolated and lonely in a dark room with a computer at 3AM. I also always get song ideas in the shower. Should shower more.

If you were a mind-reader whose mind would you like to read?
My hamster's. I think it would make me really happy.

If you could travel in time, which era would you visit?
I always have dreams about revisiting my childhood, so 1990 or so would be a trip. Remembering things I forgot about years ago is an amazing feeling.

What is your favorite sound?
Is there a sound more satisfying and spine-tingling than that of the THX logo?

What drives you crazy?
YouTube comments. You ever tried reading them? I can't help it. I mean, I love you guys, you are a wonderful audience. And the worst my own videos get are comments from finicky, tactless jerks who will never find love. But take a look at the inane arguments that any remotely political video causes. Or the outright racism you'll find under any video featuring a remotely black person. Go ahead, go look. Lose all faith in young people.

What makes you laugh?
Juggalos! What's funnier than a clown? Answer: THOUSANDS OF CLOWN. (Grammar fact: "Clown" is its own plural, like "sheep" and "fish".)

What is the album or song that influences you the most?
For the past couple of years, the album "Out of the Blue" by Electric Light Orchestra has been my favorite thing.

Who would you like to collaborate with? And why?
I'd like Bill Murray to appear in one of my videos. I believe that requires no explanation. I'd also like Carrot Top to stop appearing in my nightmares.

If you had 3 wishes what would they be?
1. The ability to safely travel through time, so I could do that 1990 thing I mentioned.
2. The ability to learn new things faster and more easily.
3. A mansion of my own design.

What is the craziest thing you ever did?
For three summers, I hosted parties in my back yard with an open invitation to the whole internet. They were actually fun parties, and by some miracle there were no murders, nobody wore diapers, nobody LARPed, and nobody tried to inflate anybody else.

What makes you feel embarrassed?
Me and my friends, all sound of mind and above 18, paid money to see High School Musical: On Ice. Yeah, I don't know. The whole "doing things ironically" thing of the 2000s might cause more cringes in retrospect than it did laughs at the time. Hipsters everywhere should start preparing for the great era of shame and shaving.

What are your favorite web-sites (not including the ones that you are participate in)?
TVtropes.org is a little more stupidly nerdy than it used to be, but it's still completely addicting. Google.com and all of its components are completely integral to the modern man's life. The forums of somethingawful.com are not only voluminous, but of the utmost quality. Does Netflix Instant Watch count as a website?

What is the silliest thing you have ever done?
There's a video I did called "123456 Pokemon" that's as silly and unsexy as imaginable. I made it when my girlfriend and I were just starting to date, but somehow she didn't break up with me. I don't understand why not.

How would you make the world a better place?
Beats me. Pizza Fridays maybe.

What is your biggest weakness?
I'm a lazy shit

Where will you be in 10 years?
That can be pretty terrifying to think about, so I won't too hard. I just hope I'm doing ever more exciting things.

Write a question that you like to ask yourself and answer it.
-Where will you be in 10 years?
-I just answered that, man. Look half an inch up, you lazy shit

Who would you like to answer that Questionnaire?
Senator John McCain.

Review of the Neil Young CD American Stars N Bars

I can describe the latest release from Rock sensation Neil Young for you with just one word... Outstanding!

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

American Stars N Bars is a nicely varied, mix of 9 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

If you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this album. Overall American Stars N Bars is an a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While the entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - Saddle Up The Palomino, track 4 - Hold Back The Tears, and track 9 - Homegrown

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - The Old Country Waltz. Great track!

Neil Young On The Beach Rock Music CD Review

Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better On The Beach gets. On The Beach simply put is one of Neil Young's best CDs to date.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Neil Young's most impressive releases ever.

Listen to and I think you'll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Neil Young is clearly in top form.

While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 2 - See The Sky About To Rain, track 4 - For The Turnstiles, and track 8 - Ambulance Blues.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Walk On. Wow!
