A definet for any Neil Young fan. Usually Neil's albums have 2-3 rocking songs, but this album has almost all of them.
uneven album
poor lyrics decent guitar work by neil
overall not a great album
by ragged glory instead.
Outstanding!
My, I would love to see these two legends perform together (they did tour it briefly in Europe in 1995). I'll start out by saying that I am huge fan of both Neil Young and Pearl Jam so for me this is a match made in heaven. The musicianship of PJ along with the song writing and signature voice of Neil combine to make this a must own for fans of either. My personal favorites include "Act of Love", "Scenery" (I think I can listen to that song all day!!!), and "I am the Ocean. " This album sounds very raw, is under-produced (as much of Neil's electric work is) and was recorded over a short period of time. This is fine by me, exactly what it should be, and then legend (Young) recording with soon-to-be legends (PJ). Magic!.
Neil Young - Collaborates With Pearl Jam
Thus it was only natural that he would record an album with a band who is arguably one of the best of the grunge movement, Pearl Jam. By the mid 90's Neil Young had been discovered by a whole new generation of younger fans earning him the moniker of "the godfather of grunge". "Mirror Ball" is a collaborative effort between Young and Pearl Jam that unfortunately comes off as rather average. Pearl Jam vocalist Eddie Vedder is mostly absent (although does sing a bit of lead on "Peace And Love" and background vocals elsware) so this is mostly Young with the instrumentalists from the band. Although Pearl Jam are probably better musicians than Neil's normal backing band Crazy Horse the chemistry is not quite there. This is not a bad album, but it does seem rather rushed and not quite up to what I think a lot of people were expecting. The material was put together and recorded rather quickly and I think it shows throughout this album. There are a few gems to be found here, as "Song X", "I'm The Ocean", "Peace And Love" and "Scenery" are all very good. The rest of the album is pretty average for Young and nothing that has ever blown me away. I give it 3. 5 stars.
I was blown away
I'd been away from hard rock for many years, and didn't know anything at all about Pearl Jam. I was shocked the first time I heard this, and wondered if I could listen to it again. But I hung in there, and after the third listening I was hooked. I think the first and last cuts are weak, but everything in between is sensational. Several numbers sound like they could have been done by the Stones. Listen to it on a good system. It's amazing that the guy who did Prairie Wind and Harvest Moon also did this. But then, there is only Neil Young and Bob Dylan. They are the only ones from the 60s who never stopped growing, exploring, and creating. .
