Binding: LP RecordEAN: 0075992722117 Label: Reprise / Wea Manufacturer: Reprise / Wea Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Reprise / Wea Release Date: June 06, 1975 Studio: Reprise / Wea Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: By 1975 Young had written some of the most enduring anthems in rock history. But from the slow, tension-building piano opening of "Tonight's the Night," he downshifts into darkness and Crazy Horse's folk-country melodies take on a guttural hum that would eventually speak to generations of punk and grunge musicians. Inspired by the overdose deaths of two of Young's friends, roadie Bruce Berry and guitarist Danny Whitten, the title track (and its closing reprise) is a hypnotic cry of "why?" Even the relative party songs, "Come On Baby Let's Go Downtown" and "Roll Another Number," fit the album's bus-to-nowhere resignation. --Steve Knopper Average Rating:
 Rating:  - JAPAN REMASTERED VERSION AVAILABLEA while back, Warner Brothers Japan re-released 12 Neil Young titles. The surprise was that remastered content appeared for the first time on most of them. The titles & WB-Japan catalog numbers are: Neil Young WPCR-75086 Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere WPCR-75087 After The Gold Rush WPCR-75088 Harvest WPCR-75089 On The Beach WPCR-75090 Tonight's The Night WPCR-75091 Zuma WPCR-75092 Long May You Run WPCR-75093 Read More Rating: - The Real DealRaw Neil Young from the height of the 70's. If you listened to it on vinyl you'll remember how real it felt at the time. Neil sort of fades in and out vocally as if he's distracted, preoccupied, wasted. Heavy druggie music that simply is what it is. A classic well worth having but it isn't for everyone. It's damn good though! Rating: - Neil Young At His Most Depressing BestAll of the criticisms of this album/CD are accurate and I still think that it is a worthwhile addition to any collection. The vinyl album record cover had a spooky pic of Crazy Horse with each band mamber identified by name with no image of anyone standing in the spot labeled "Danny Whitten", and so the journey into addiction, death, reclusion, introversion, and depression begins. It appears that Young himself was experiencing his own personal trauma of the events of those days and it shows. You ...

It comes from a dark, ugly place of human existence known only as 'the bottom', a place only a few of us have ever really been and where none of us want to linger. It's also where Neil was when he made it. Still wracked with guilt over the overdose death of Crazy Horse member Danny Whitten, a death he blamed himself for, Neil took refuge in booze, drugs, and music. The result of that witches brew is Tonight's the Night. This drunken, stoned, and grieving ... Read More Rating:  - The Emperor of Wyoming's New ClothesThis album's reputation is legendary, no doubt. But is it really as good as everyone says it is? Not really. The songs are, for the most part, mediocre, especially in light of Young's first four solo albums, "Deja Vu" and Buffalo Springfield. The playing is inept and lifeless and the singing is abysmal. Young's voice is strained and off-key for most of the album which does nothing to enhance material that isn't very good to start with. You don't even get very many original songs...."Tonight's ... Read More |
