Forget the souuuuunnnnndddddd for a moment....there are some good catchy
songs on the album and lyrically they are quite clever and precise...'Bad
News Beat' has got to be one of Neil's catchiest and most memorable hooks...
Dig, right on, and far out and groovy, Keith. Gotta agree with a LOUD voice,
LOW is frikkin great. From first groove to last, I rank it high on my
favorite Neil LPs. Simply classic, cutting edge, memorable, and
rrrrrrrrrrrrrockin.

Whether you know it or not, you just inducted yourself into R-FLOW, the
Rusties For Landing On Water Revolutionary Army. Congratulations, Lieutenant
Keith!

My two-penno'rth to me...

Maybe if I write this down I'll get a more realistic perspective....

For a long time fan...'I Believe in You' was my first real no nonsense Neil
Young classic... I've been rather less than comfortable with the Geffen
period albums.

Recently however I've been listening to LOW and find that I like it ....a
lot....

The bash and crash sound must be the reason I've often looked for another
album to listen to...

So listen up folks (I mean me) - Neil did other things as well as Goldrush
and On the Beach...

Time to get to grips with the other lost souls - starting
with................'Life'


 

I like Landing On Water too. One reason why it gets such a poor
reputation is that Neil himself thought very lowly of it. And that
it carries so much of that 80's electronic sound that were loathed
in the 90s.
