    The sheer brazenness of this collection is refreshing after years of timidity in the upper echelons of the pop world. [6 May 2006]

    Living With War is instantly the most incisive and penetrating album that Young has released in years, and it is arguably the most vital of his career.

    Neil Young is a groovey old man but love Bush or hate him, he deserves better protests songs then these half-baked anthems. I mean, "Ohio" it aint..
