    You can't accuse Young of not wearing all the appropriate badges, flags, and emblems, but the message has become more than a little threadbare over the years. Fortunately, Crazy Horse sounds as reliable as it always has even if no new ideas are borne out.

    More than any of Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s past classics, “Colorado” recalls Young’s last album, 2017’s “The Visitor.” Like that record, “Colorado” is a politically charged, uneven release that at its best comes close enough to recapturing Young’s past glories to satisfy his diehard fans. And if you don’t like it? Well, there’ll probably be another one next year.

    The end result is another Neil Young album to add to the pile of the not-bad and the OK he’s amassed over the last decade, while a steady stream of archive releases highlight how great Neil Young can be at his best: as good as any artist in rock history, and certainly better than this.

    Its highs—vintage Crazy Horse guitar workouts, a small handful of charmingly intimate ballads—are intermittently marred by the same sort of problems that have characterized Young’s recent solo work. This includes particularly tuneless vocals and a tendency toward clunky, Facebook uncle-level environmentalist and political ranting.

    A slightly clumsy and occasionally meandering attempt to couple the stately folk of a Young solo album with the frenzied proto-grunge typicalA slightly clumsy and occasionally meandering attempt to couple the stately folk of a Young solo album with the frenzied proto-grunge typical of Crazy Horse, the album is nevertheless Young's strongest non-archival effort in nearly a decade.… Full Review »

    The album definitely grows on you. The sublety of Green is Blue makes it one of the best songs Neil has written in years.
