Title: Easily One of the Greatest Albums in Rock History
Review: Neil Young's "Tonight's the Night" is a timeless masterpiece. The album was recorded somewhat haphazardly and apparently in various stages of inebriation, but this all adds to the tragic thematic continuity and tone of the album. What makes this album so refreshing is that its production is not highly polished like Young's more recent efforts. What you get here is a collection of well-written, painfully honest songs that are devoid of the cliches that occasionally mar Young's work. There isn't a bad song on the entire album. These are songs of experience that will resonate deeply if you are looking for an album that provides a penetrating insight into humanity's struggle with tragedy and loss. And, by the way, the album also consistently provides some of the excellent rock music we all love and adore in Neil's collaborations with Crazy Horse. This album will likely be a permanent fixture in your collection.
