Title: Ahead of it's time
Review: Really, in 1982 this album was far ahead of its time lyrically. Take a listen to "Computer Age" and "We R In Control" with a lyric sheet in hand and you'll know why. Today, computers have an impact on virtually everything we do in life. Musically, this was a hard left turn into oncoming traffic for Neil as this was very different from anything that he had previously recorded. Now that we know Neil's reasons for recording this as he did (the inability to communicate with his son), the album has a dual meaning. It is time that Neil or Geffen/Universal re-release this album stateside as it's time has come.PS-In my opinion, Re-ac-tor was the first hint of this inability to communicate. Notice how everything is spelled out in syllables on the album cover.
