    Neil and the boys jam on this amazing piece of work. Gateway of Love, a 10 minute jam in the mode of Like a Hurricane, is full of raw emotion. Going Home - with the driving beat that reminds me of Powderfinger.

    Put it this way, if you are a Neil fan, this is a must have. This is Neil when he is emotionally drained (or fired up -- i think he gets so raw and vulnerable as we saw with the    Neil and the boys jam on this amazing piece of work.

    Put it this way, if you are a Neil fan, this is a must have. This is Neil when he is emotionally drained (or fired up -- i think he gets so raw and vulnerable as we saw with the ditch trilogy).

    Thank you Mr. Young for releasing this album. It is such a rewarding listen.

    Toast is an invocation of impending loss so powerful and relatable as to be, at times, unbearable. That Young with Crazy Horse are able to create sublime songs from this ruinous situation is a feat unto itself; that Young only felt safe to release them 20 years after they were made is an indictment of just how ruthlessly personal and genuinely affecting they are.

    Whether you prefer the slightly more organic vibe of Toast or the cleaned-up Are You Passionate? will depend on your personal relationship with Young's massive catalog. For fans of his early moody rock or the rough-edged brilliance he always locked into with Crazy Horse, Toast will be a clear favorite more than just an interesting companion piece.

    There is nothing disappointing about the way he conjures art from emotional defeat. Toast deserves to be acclaimed amongst his finest works. Twenty-one years since the album was made, Young has reminded us once again why he stands tall amongst the greats of the rock era.
