First of all: I like most about Neil Young. Apart from "Comes A Time" Like no song that rockers are definitely too hard, the tearjerker clearly melodramatic. Even the guy at can be pretty cold. Why do I put myself (herewith!) Then so for this album a? Quite simply, the lies 1) very foremost on his mood, which can be, and indeed really rezipiert profitably in every momentary mood in everyone: If you feel sad, the album begins on a, you're happy, it underlines the positive "Vibrations" totally annoys you look, it brings down a yet provides enough material to blow off steam ("Alabama", but above all the grandiose decision "Words"). Even to go to sleep, I can recommend the board! ;-)) 2.)
