I love Neil, but I'm way more excited for TWGMTR than Americana. Isn't that album just going to be him covering a lot of traditional American standards?
Yap. It ain't bad, though. A few tracks are really cool. It's a keeper. Better than Iggy Pop's recent covers album, anyway. Or Macca's.
Was just reading some comments on FB about a recent post made by Neil Young's official page. Seems like you're in the minority, Lowbacca. Listen to some of the choice words these fans--fans enough to waste their time "liking" him and actually reading and commenting on his status updates--think about "Americana":
"Worst project since Greendale; what a waste of Crazy Horse"
"Only love can break your heart, and Americana. It's terrible." <-- personal favorite
"Neil WAS good but has pretty much sucked since the 70's!"
"All I'm getting from this commercialised nonsense of a FB page is Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...Americana...
Nice to see "Neil" engage with his fans. It's all about the Franklins."
My French isn't very good, but this one seems lukewarm at best:
"Difficile de faire avec après son magnifique opus Le Noise. Je passe mon tour cette fois. Dommage!
Difficult to do with after his magnificent opus the Noise. I turn my turn this time. Damage!"
Broken English review:
"I have all the Neil's albums. I've just listened Americana and is the worse album of his log carrier. A completly
sh*t"
Had to share. Perhaps the other NY fans will get a kick out of it like I did.
