Mirror Ball

Neil Young

A heavy, spontaneous collision of 60s idealism and 90s grit. Recorded in four days with Pearl Jam, it sounds like a garage door being kicked open.

It's Neil Young fronting Pearl Jam in a garage, and it's exactly as loud and loose as you want it to be.

A high-energy, spontaneous collision of veteran wisdom and youthful distortion.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, rolling groove of I'm the Ocean that sustains for seven minutes of stream-of-consciousness intensity.
The heavy, sea-shanty stomp of Song X that opens the album with a jarring, primitive force.
The way the guitars dissolve into a wall of feedback at the end of Downtown, followed by Neil's casual studio chatter.
