Description

This album marks Neil Young's collaboration with Pearl Jam. Neither a particularly engaging Neil Young album or Pearl Jam album, nevertheless this one gets by on the sheer forcefulness of the performances. Jack Irons and Jeff Ament keep the groove solid while Young and Stone Gossard whack out the riffs, and Pearl Jam axemeister Mike McCready sulks in the background, wondering why he doesn't get any soloes. The songs themselves are hypnotic and simple, usually consisting of repeated verses, lacking bridges or choruses to lighten the load. Only on "Peace and Love" is there a bridge section, andmore… this was devised by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, who must have dropped by to worship Mr. Young one afternoon. There are high points, such as the mighty "I'm the Ocean," and the daft "Downtown," but perhaps the most affecting songs are the two brief tunes performed by Young alone at his pump organ. In these melancholy viginettes, Young manages to convey the sense of loss he tries to create by bluff and bluster elsewhere, with a haunting eloquence. A solid collection.
