A powerful musical statement.

Immediacy makes for a really good album: energy, depth, poignancy. It seems the urgency of making this quicky allowed Young to sweep away some of the accumulated cobwebs and get back to what he does really well.

This CD constitutes a raw and powerful collection of hyper-political tunes. This is what we have come to expect from Neil Young and then some. My respect for him just went up several notches. His lyrics are embarrassingly blunt. There are so audio clips from W himself that Neil responds to in place. I love the raspy fuzz-tone guitar, reminiscent of his early solo albums. I preordered this music because of it being reported as uniquely political. In fact it is indescribably so. I love it. I strongly recommend this CD for what it is; a hyper-political statement. Mind boggling.… Expand

A most welcome blistering attack and righteous indignation at Bush and his cronies. Let's Impeach The President is worth the price of the album alone!!!!!!!!!

so latee in his career ny has produced the best ny record in many years and one that will be talked about for a lot longer than many of his others. the fool that gave this one '0' is just giving away his political allegiances. this album is full of great tunes and emotional music.

Brilliant anti-war album from Neil Young who doesn

A slap on the face, and i liked it... wish all these classy bands of today could have half of this power... Thank you, Mr. Young!!

Outstanding and rocking album. Important message.

A ragged manifesto from the Thomas Paine of our era. Many of the knee jerk, ill informed, lazy chair patriots willl brand this album as a hysterical screech from the liberal left. Don't be fooled, Neil Young has, through this work, defined what it means to be a true patriot: passionate, questioning, involved, and willing to stand up when others sit. Well done.

Musically alone, this is a minor Neil Young classic. Six of the ten songs are superb, melodic, pleasantly ragged gems. Best songs: "After the Garden" and "Flags of Freedom." For Neil Young fans this isn't to be missed, and I say that as someone who has been indifferent to most of what he's done since Ragged Glory. Politically, I guess if you're one of the thirty-three percent of Americans who think the Bush administration is doing a fine job, you may not like this. Even those people might be surprised, however. There's a lot of respect on this record for soldiers and their families.… Expand

Neil has probably written 200 songs better than what you hear on this disc, but none more vital and important.

Thank you Neil for speaking up. Fuck The War. Check out neilyoung.com now and hear it for yourself. Flags of Freedom, Shock and Awe were my favourites. Mobilize to stop the war now.

Explosive! Indignant!! Awesome!!!

Love it! Toe-tapping dirty guitar work and conviction of the record is very refreshing. The singers really add to the songs. Love when Neil does things like this. His best in maybe 10 years.

It rocks wth passion and truth.

And what an album! A well deserved 10 rating. I've only known of Neil Young for a couple of weeks, and that was through the Mirror Ball album with Pearl Jam. I'm not American, and have only a basic grasp of Bush's politics. But I understand the nuance and emotional involvement of every song. When Young's voice sounds cracked and raw, the poignancy and urgency of the messages are even more enhanced. A wonderful protest album, likely to be current for years to come. The music is also sublime; dirty fuzzy guitars, adding to the mix. This is not just an album for Young fans; it's a great rocker! Try it out!!!… Expand

Impassioned, emotional, urgent, with moments of real beauty.

No, it's not a 10, but it's an easy 9, and its easily Neil's best since Sleeps with Angels. Great melodies, lots of passion, and excellent performances. Roger and Out is the only song that sounds underwritten. Not much to dislike about this baby.

This is Neil Young doing what he does best. Off-the-cuff free thought on the bull-sh*t of the day. It's a shame Neil has such a willing muse in the current admin. Living With War is destined to be a testament to vigilance and the need for expression. Cathartic, truly vital yet again.

Thanks, Neil. I knew you would see the light.

Right from the start, relentless. Loved the backing choir, added kind of a spiiritual weight. It's amazing it took so long for someone to make an album like this, so defiant and honest. A few others (bright eyes, green day, springsteen) have had their moments standing up against the current state of our governing madness, but nothing like this. A lot of the songs on this album have a very melodic, sing-a-long quality which sticks in your head for days. Definitely his best album since ragged glory.… Expand

neil young raw at his best. furious and political. it doesn't get any better than this.

I think its amazing how Neil Young has stayed in touch and is still releasing songs that exemplify his rock and roll attitude.

a compelling and beautiful complete work for a world that needs to find peace inside and outside the heart beat.
