American standards

The Green family lives in Greendale and both are fictitious Neil Young. He tells the story of the Green family in his concept album about the American conditions. Of course Young criticized this so many things and puts his finger on the wounds of America. A murder happened in the godforsaken and everything is not as it was. The media machine starts to roll and no one is spared.
Young comes back with critical notes about America and now it is loved by the critics. Musically the album is weaker and reduced. Young waived Frank "Poncho" Sampedro and his second guitar. There are only Young, the rhythm section of Crasy Horse and female backing vocals. The pieces are very reduced and a mile long and the pace. This in turn is due to the very extensive texts in which Young tells his story. Concept and texts there are also those of the album lives, together with the very good Booglet. There is a map of Greendale and many illustrations to the texts, the whole was allowed to laterally yellowed paper.
Greendale is not a musical masterpiece. It makes when dealing with the lyrics and the story only makes sense. Taken out a song alone affects even long-winded and monotonous. But that would perhaps reach, so to force the music to the brink kicking his texts to the fore Young.
Greendale is a snapshot of America, a country must learn to think differently, which must realize that something goes wrong. Death penalty, gun control, environmental protection and media madness. Young speaks to it, it will need to change others. But can correctly choose any of Greendale has understood. In ten years or later, this plate is a milestone and we will hopefully remember back that it has changed what.
