Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Everybody Knows This is Nowhere
220px-EverybodyKnowsThisIsNowhere.jpg

First time listening. Enjoyed this far more than I expected and, at the very least, enjoyed every song. I love the variety overall, and the rocker "Cinnamon Girl" as the opening cut is mighty impressive. However, some of these guitar solos on the longer tracks are overindulgent, though still very good tunes overall. I don't hear as much emotional variation in Neil's singing on Everybody Knows This is Nowhere as I do with the actual melodies he sings...even with his vibrato in "Round & Round" sounding almost guitar-like.
Pleased with this one.

Personal highlights: "Cinnamon Girl," "Round & Round (It Won't Be Long)," "Cowgirl in the Sand"
Rating: 3.5/5 [Great]

@TenderLovingKiller® and @Lee Newman were on the money in regards to this being a solid introduction. I'll give this another listen at some point. Might go to a 4 in time.

It's a great record. They had two great lead guitarists, so they can be a little indulgent at times.

Days Of New and Creed both came out around the same time in the late 90s and would lead the way for Nickleback and Puddle of Mudd to usher in the Post-Grunge Butt Rock era of the early 00s.

😆Post-Grunge Butt Rock is a great label of that era! That and the whole nu-metal/bro-punk of Limp Bizkit, The Offspring and Bloodhound Gang is the true nadir of rock history in my opinion.

I mostly agree but the late 1980s Glam Metal of the likes of Warrent, Dokken, Winger, Poison, Etc... would like a word.

Hey nobody disses Warrant on my watch! Uncle Tom's Cabin is a true banger!
But, yeah close call. At least they were somewhat honest about being crap ("Look what the cat dragged in"...), and they were often quite fun. Post-grunge is just boring!
