WilliamKMay 10, 2006With all the crap coming out for the DS this game is the best for the DS.

QuaidMay 6, 2006The 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. :)

JohnFMay 8, 2006Immediacy 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.

MikeG.Jun 6, 2006It's solid but nowhere near the blistering rock anthems of Young's heyday. The problem comes to a large degree in the message - gone is the anti-authority message of the late 60s, replaced by a weird "let's trust authority, just not the jerks in power." It's enjoyable, and some of the songs are strong, but others just lack the fire and intensity of Young's older stuff.

FoxyladyDeeAug 7, 2006A 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!!!!!!!!!

JimHMay 13, 2006Tuneful, yes. Thoughtful? Mmmmmaybe. The album is really an anti-Bush argument culminating in "Let's Impeach the President." The most sensible track is the next one after that, "Lookin' for a Leader": NY is right to say that this is the real problem with America but wrong to spend only one song on a worthwhile complaint.

therubyworldtherubyworldMay 10, 2006so 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.

ImanLMay 26, 2006Neil 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..

BobMMay 3, 2006Outstanding and rocking album. Important message.

RobertRMay 5, 2006A 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.

JohnBMay 6, 2006Neil has probably written 200 songs better than what you hear on this disc, but none more vital and important.

RogerSMay 6, 2006Thank 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.

GBurgessMay 9, 2006Love 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.

MatthewWMay 16, 2006No, 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.

dbMay 19, 2006This 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.

Awards & Rankings
-
"Living With War" -- irate, passionate, tuneful, thoughtful and obstinate -- is definitely worth a click.
-
Living With War's short gestation benefits Young's performance, inspiring him to make his loudest, rawest release of new material since at least Ragged Glory, maybe even Rust Never Sleeps.
-
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.
