    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.

    The album has the instantaneous feel of a blog. [Aug 2006, p.93]

    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..

    The songs in my opinion were very bland. But hey, we all have our opinions. Hope you enjoy it, but I'll stick to his previous albums which were very good. That's kind of obvious. :)… Expand
