when i had the album, i played it all the time. it is one of my all-time favorites. i cannot say i am a neil young-o-phile, but if i were, it would be the result of this piece. it's down, slow, meditative. he's still got that odd voice but that's part of the charm. i am so excited to see that it is on cd and come next pay day, i'm getting it... all over again...

When I put this disc in the player, I knew why the record company released this ahead of "Tonight's The Night." Although slightly more upbeat, there's still a dark undercurrent that runs through this disc. Not as intense as the aforementioned disc or as good as "Zuma", but close.

Pros:
The music is more diverse and less pretentious than ever

Cons:
I suppose it could have been more tuneful...

(Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what they re looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and they do not constitute the essence of this review. Lastly and most importantly, this review is not necessarily written by the point of view of a Neil Young fan.) Overall Score: 5/5 Best song: Revolution Blues Worst song: They re all fine Review Body: It s funny that the moment when the mass populace seemed to abandon Neil Young in droves, his music...

  It was the best of times it was the worst of times
Review created: 12/16/02

Pros:
Excellent introspective and mainly acoustic 1974 release

Cons:
Out of print

Recorded after, released before the landmark album Tonight s the Night, On the Beach was a response to a record company who had initially refused to release Tonight s the Night. The latter album was recorded in 1973 following the demise of roadie Bruce Berry, and not long after Danny Whitten s similar death due to a heroin overdose. These were troubled times, and although On the Beach doesn t have the same angry desperation as the delayed predecessor, it does retain a distinctly sad tone. On the Beach is something of a rarity on CD. Following the success of the country-infused Harvest, Neil...

  Hassles Made Of Sand
Review created: 03/28/04

Pros:
Re-master provides excellent sound that highlights the original beauty of the music.

Cons:
"Vampire Blues" drags a bit.

Neil Young had a rocky relationship with the executives at Warner/Reprise. Neil was always trying to create music for himself that other people might want to hear. The execs were always trying to get him to create music for other people that they would want to hear (and buy). Such is the case with many artists and recording labels, but in the case of Young v. Warner/Reprise, the differences lead to animosities which lead to atrocities. Okay, atrocities is a strong word, but there's no good reason that four of Young's notable works have been unavailable on CD until 2003. So, this review...
