Neil Young's Greendale on 8/19?
 

Would anyone recommend purchasing his latest album? Anyone heard any buzz about it?

haven't heard a lick about Greendale...

BUT some of his older catalog albums are also getting released this Tuesday for their first time on cd. of those albums (<i>On the Beach, Re-ac-tor, Hawks & Doves,</i> and <i>American Stars & Bars</i>), i've heard very good things about On the Beach and even got to listen to some of Hawks & Doves and American Stars recently in England (where they released all of these last month), which were good.

so, you also have those to look forward to!

i got the album today. not immediately memorable for me, as his past two albums (<i>silver and gold, are you passionate?</i>) were... haven't watched the dvd yet. don't think i'll get to it before the middle of next week. plus, i don't have a good audio set-up right now anyway, so the point is probably moot anyway.

The DVD included is a solo acoustic show of Neil performing Greendale with story narration between songs. It was available
as streaming audio on his website and I enjoyed it.

The CD is the songs perfromed with Crazy Horse and I'm curious as to how they compare with the acoustic ones.

I have mine ordered online for less than $12.00 including shipping but it hasn't arrived yet.
