Neil Young - On The BeachReview created: 04/07/07
by:
Already owned the Neil Young albums Harvest and Harvest Moon which I love. Two very different albums, Harvest being a 'darker mood' album than Harvest Moon. Decided to see what else he'd done & found both On The Beach and Sleeps With Angels for sale on eBay. Plummetted with bids for both and won both. Both seemed to take a bit more getting used to than the albums I'd owned previously and I was a little unsure as to how keen I was on them but they've grown on me. Would I recommend them or come to that if I needed to, would I replace them.... yes definately.

This is a superb album and Neil at his very folk tinged best! Of all the Young albums, I come back to this one again and again (and again). Lacking the overt "middle of the road" approach of 'After the goldrush' and 'Harvest', the album still packs in some great melodic work and downright astounding pieces - Ambulance Blues is a classic whilst For the turnstiles, Vampire Blues and Motion pictures shine brightly. Turn the TV off, put the lights down low , get your guitar out and sing along with Neil! Some of these lyrical lines enmeshed themselves into the fabric of musical memories as noted above - my favourite (also from Ambulance Blues, a sort of autiobiography of Neil's life to that date) is "you're all just pissin' in the wind, you don't know it, but you are..". Buy. Enjoy.

Neil Young - On The Beach1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
"An ambulance can only go so fast" Says so much about society today, as it did then. we expect the impossible and this guy knew it all those years ago. When they say someone is before their time Neil Young surpasses that expression for me, Neil Transcends time his songs on this album and come to think of it all my life Neil Young songs meant so much to me as I grew up and in some cases that was 20 30 years after they were written "It's easy to get buried in the past" another truism and an observation of philosophical proportion "When you try to make a good thing last" OH MY GOD! and that's just Ambulance blues buy this album for that song alone. If you don't like it, either Noel Gallagher or I will buy it off you, I can't say fairer than that... This album will make you question things and test your opinions, it's inward looking and critical of the external influences of our lives then and now. Buy Buy Buy!!!

At his wierdest and wildest Neil toured this album supported by the Eagles in England, when I was late teens, about 34 years ago.An acoustic set followed by the usual trip "down by the river" in a "hurricane". What a ride! His music & lyrics say more about today's world than even they did back then, Vampire Blues,Ambuance Blues, et al.He presaged the haunting melodies that magnificent artists like Johnny Cash later gave us in spades. This is one of my all time "tingle" factor albums, which are always on in the car.The kids all know the words learnt by rote as they slept in their booster seats on journies home late at night.Others include Mirrorball, Live Rust and Tonight's the Night. I'm a sucker for loud reverb, and the sustain he get's out of "old black" his custom developed guitar, effects pedals and amps. See and hear me on the A259 between Brighton and Worthing and catch those reverbed electric and acoustic wails as he charts the export of crap capitalistic values and beliefs all over the world. I always coveted that linen jacket.This album perfectly connects Neil's acoustic and electric abilities, which I don't believe he has ever surpassed. Other reviews refer to his state of mind as depressing, but I've always seen that as subjective, and prefer to see him as a realistic cynic. See/hear Living with War, Freedom, Greendale, Tonight's the Night and This Note's for You.It's all one song! I really miss the harmonies from his days with CS&N. They held his voice and trebled the effect of his songs.
