Chrome Dreams II ［CD+DVD］

オリジナルとしては2006年リリースの『LIVING WITH WAR』に続くNeil Youngのアルバムは、彼が1977年に制作したものの未発表に終わったアルバム『Chrome Dreams』の名を冠してのリリース！

Rolling Stone (p.82) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Young was right to close with 'The Way,' a gloriously simplistic salvation song backed by a children's chorus that deserves to become his 'Give Peace a Chance.'" Spin (p.128) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] record that's just like he used to make -- distorto riffs for their own sake and quasi roots rock with a tangible sense of loss and hope." Entertainment Weekly (p.p.125) - "[A] nifty exercise in extreme dynamics....It's an album inclusive enough for both 'Dirty Old Man,' a garage-rock sinner's rant, and 'The Way,' a beautiful minor-key hymn..." Uncut (p.119) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The album is powerful exploration of faith, with Young circling his own mortality. He does it quietly and noisily." No Depression (p.93) - "It's hard to remember a Young release that has been as thematically cohesive yet as musically diverse as CHROME DREAMS II." Q (Magazine) (p.113) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Ordinary People' dates from Young's one-off venture with the Bluenotes...It's an epic, free-ranging rant on behalf of the common man...It's an absolute monster." Q (Magazine) (p.76) - Ranked #33 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2007" -- "A definite return to ragged glory." Blender (Magazine) (p.155) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Young's Les Paul erupts, horns not to Springsteen Americana; it all recalls vintage mid-'70s Young LPs..." Record Collector (magazine) (p.99) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The HARVEST-like 'Beautiful Bluebird' opens, beautifully simplistic like Young's best childlike ballads."
