Hate Distance

 "A Neil Young album is a Neil Young album. Period, end of story."

 "Honestly, with Americana, Neil didn’t transport me anywhere, it simply made me rise and say ‘What a pity’."

The review reflects on Neil Young's rich folk legacy and expresses cautious optimism for his album Americana. While the album's reinterpretation of traditional American songs with a punk rock edge is interesting, it ultimately disappoints fans longing for Young's classic acoustic style. The standout track is the acoustic "Wayfarin' Stranger." Despite its flaws, the album merits respect for Young's enduring influence and personal resilience. Discover Neil Young’s Americana and explore a bold reinterpretation of American folk music—listen now and share your thoughts!

 Ellis, with his violin, manages to convey feelings, moods, sentiments worthy of a human voice.

 'Ashen Snow' is one of the most beautiful tracks on the album and one of the most beautiful by the Dirty Three.

The review highlights Dirty Three's 2012 album Toward The Low Sun as an emotionally powerful and passionate return to their roots. Warren Ellis's expressive violin remains central, complemented by innovative instrumentation such as piano. While not a masterpiece, the album contains memorable tracks blending dark, chaotic, and romantic atmospheres. Fans of the band and discerning listeners will find much to appreciate despite some past disappointments. Listen to Toward The Low Sun and discover the emotional depths of Dirty Three’s powerful instrumental journey.
