Our Take

Neil Young's "On The Beach" is like a beach holiday gone wrong. Picture this: you've packed your bags, envisioning sunny skies and crystal-clear waters, only to arrive and find that the beach is covered in seaweed and the sea is rough and uninviting. That's the vibe of this album.

The opening track, "Walk On," sets the tone with its breezy acoustic guitar and laid-back vocals. But as you delve deeper into the record, you start to realize that there's a darkness lurking beneath the surface. Tracks like "See the Sky About to Rain" and "Revolution Blues" bring a sense of unease and discomfort, like an impending storm on the horizon.

Young's signature plaintive vocals and introspective lyrics shine through on songs like "Ambulance Blues" and "Motion Pictures," exploring themes of loneliness and regret with a wry sense of humour. The production is raw and unpolished, adding to the album's gritty charm.

Overall, "On The Beach" may not be the feel-good summer anthem you were expecting, but it's a masterclass in storytelling and emotional depth. So grab a drink, kick back, and let Neil Young take you on a journey through the darker side of paradise. Just don't forget to pack a raincoat.

About the artist

Neil Young

For nearly six decades, Neil Young has been a enigma in the music industry, consistently pushing boundaries and defying categorization. Born in Toronto, Canada in 1945, Young first rose to fame as a member of the iconic folk-rock band Buffalo Springfield in the 1960s before embarking on a prolific solo career that has earned him a reputation as one of the most influential musicians of his generation. With his distinctive, reedy voice and virtuosic guitar playing, Young has explored a wide range of musical styles over the years, from country and folk to grunge and electronic. His songwriting is equally eclectic, touching on themes of love, loss, politics, and the environment with a raw honesty and emotional depth that few artists can match. Young's massive catalog includes classic albums like "After the Gold Rush," "Harvest," and "Rust Never Sleeps," as well as more experimental works like "Trans" and "Arc." His live performances are legendary for their energy and spontaneity, with Young often switching up his setlist on a whim and stretching songs out into epic jams. Despite his status as a rock icon, Young has never been afraid to speak his mind, whether it's through his music or his outspoken activism. From campaigning for environmental causes to critiquing the music industry itself, Young has never shied away from controversy, earning him a reputation as a true maverick in the world of music. With his restless creative spirit and boundless curiosity, Neil Young continues to inspire and surprise audiences around the world, proving that age is just a number when it comes to making great music. Long may he reign as the king of cool.
