Many fans will say it's his best work. I easily put it in my top three. The first half of the record is rockin', with the exception of For the Turnstiles (which is an awesome song). Then the second half of the record mellows out a bit, getting into some dreamy/bluesy stuff.

Like the other two records in his "Ditch Trilogy," (Tonight's the Night and Time Fades Away), it's magnificent. Neil is at the peak of his songwriting prowess, and he surrounds himself with a bunch of super capable musicians and then makes them all play instruments that aren't their stated focus (the bassist plays drums, etc). And then they all got zonked on "honey sliders" (basically pot cookies), and recorded a few albums off-the-cuff. Enigmatic, edgy, weird, sloppy in al the right ways -- the Ditch Trilogy is amongst the very best that Neil has to offer. Imagine listening to After the Goldrush if everyone was super stoned and the recording quality was more raw, and you should have a general idea. Revolution Blues and Vampire Blues are two of his very best songs ever, but every song on the album ranges from very, very good to amazing.

This is PJ learning it.

Another fan of "On the Beach" here. It's ragged but eclectic in a way that the other "Ditch" albums are not. I once read it described as "a cult item with a weird sense of quest." Pretty good summary.

What are RM's thoughts about 'On The Beach'? I don't think I know anything from it. Is it on the rock or folk side of things?

Legendary singer-songwriter, musician and activist Neil Young brings one of his most personal albums, GREENDALE, to comics. Overseeing the work of acclaimed writer Joshua Dysart (UNKNOWN SOLDIER) and fan-favorite artist Cliff Chiang (HUMAN TARGET), they compose a graphic novel that explores a whole new dimension to the album that Rolling Stone voted as one of the best of its year.
In the Fall of 2003, as the nation gallops into war, a politically active teenage girl named Sun lives, loves and dreams in a small California town named Greendale.

Sun's always been different. There's been talk that the women in her family have all had a preternatural communion with nature. And when a Stranger comes to town – a character whose presence causes Greendale to, well, go to hell – she'll find herself on a journey both mystical and mythical. To face the Stranger, she'll unearth the secrets of her family in a political coming-of-age story infused with its own special magic.

Everybody Knows This is Nowhere is still my favorite. Maybe not his best, but the one that speaks to me most often and never lets me down.

Going to a heavy morning with Neil....Just finished Tonight´s The Night and Everybody Know This Is Nowhere is blasting right now.

EKTIK is one of the best sounding records of all time.

Its great. I would add Zuma too....Actually, i think Zuma will be next.
