One of the greatest compilations ever put together by a single artist, Decade<\/i> sums up the best of Neil Young for the first 10 years of his amazing career. Bringing together his solo stuff, Buffalo Springfield, and CSNY, Decade <\/i>does a great job of chronicling all the highs in a career that will probably never be topped by anyone, ever.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s really hard to go wrong when things kick off with his own personal best from Buffalo Springfield, including personal favorites \u201cMr. Soul\u201d and \u201cI Am A Child.\u201d Meanwhile, it\u2019s hard to say anything negative when you hear songs like \u201cCinnamon Girl,\u201d \u201cDown By The River,\u201d and \u201cSouthern Man.\u201d In fact, it\u2019s almost impossible to say anything other than positive things about this disc.<\/p>\n
How can one go wrong with songs like \u201cOhio,\u201d \u201cHeart Of Gold,\u201d \u201cWinterlong,\u201d and \u201cThe Needle And The Damage Done?\u201d As Neil got more introspective with \u201cOhio\u201d and \u201cTonight\u2019s The Night,\u201d he almost turned the whole singer-songwriter scene on its head and pushed others to get closer to themselves.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a bit odd hearing songs like \u201cWinterlong\u201d and \u201cDeep Forbidden Lake\u201d with their wistful lyrics, which almost take him back to the era of Buffalo Springfield. The only two defects here are \u201cLove Is A Rose\u201d and \u201cCampaigner,\u201d which features the odd line \u201cEven Richard Nixon\u2019s got soul.\u201d They just seem out of place and aren\u2019t as great as some of the other stuff here. But hey, the stuff\u2019s 40 years old, so there\u2019s not much you can do about it now.<\/p>\n
This is a no-brainer for fans and people just wanting to scratch the surface of what has made Neil Young so outstanding and revered for such a diverse body of work. Decade <\/i>is of the most encapsulating greatest hits packages ever seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":91,"featured_media":33244,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[5692],"rating":[5646],"class_list":["post-45053","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-neil-young","rating-rating-a"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45053"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45053\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33244"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45053"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=45053"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=45053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
