Album Description
Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) pressing. Warner.
Amazon.com essential recording
After laboring in Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young finally hit perfect pitch--if his endearing off-center whine can be called "perfect"--with his third album. He's equally passionate with trippy riddles (has anybody figured out what "We've got mother nature on the run" means in the title track?) and pointed protest (after 30 years of rock-radio overplay, "Southern Man" still rings with truth about redneck racism). His creaky ensemble, including pianist Jack Nitzsche and rotating members of Crazy Horse, transforms ramshackle country and folk songs into soulful hippie hymns. --Steve Knopper

After The Gold Rush June 18, 2009
Bjorn Viberg (European Union)
After The Gold Rush being Neil Youngs 3rd studio album and his 1973 release was well received both by critics as well as the general public. Allmusic and Robert Christgau gave the album 5 out of 5 stars. I agree with them and songs that stand out on this album are "After the Gold Rush", "Only Love Can Break Your Heart", "Southern Man" and "When You Dance You Can Really Love". All the lyrics are included and and we get some nice but grainy photographs. We also get short liner notes. 5/5.

ATGR is a good example of why Young tends to be overpraised. Don't get me wrong, he is worthy of nearly all the tremendous influencing his name has incurred, and rightfully put out many, many brilliantly composed pieces. But his albums as a whole tend to be shaky, with ruggedly elegant songwriting rarely taking center stage, over mainly simple piano-n-riff-rock, albeit with a tenderness rarely seen in conjunction with a distortion pedal.

I have previously mentioned the name Neil Young in this space in connection with his early career as a heavy rock presence with his band Crazy Horse on the album "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere". I noted there that Neil Yong had had many incantations and seemed to have lately taken up the role of folk/ rock elder statesman with some success. In short, through Young's varied career it has been hard to type him. That brings us to the CD under review that kind of makes that point more succinctly that I could on my own.
This album is from the same period and with the same band as "Everybody" mentioned above but it is far less a rock classic than that effort and a more diverse reflection of Young's talents and interest. Yes, the rocking tense "Southern Man" ranks right up there with "Down By The River" and other efforts but there are also classic country tunes like "Oh Lonesome Me" and "Tell Me Why" or the folkie "Cripple Creek Ferry" and "Till The Morning Comes". See what I mean? Folk, rock, country-the only part that seems to be pure fact is that he is an elder statesman of ....music. Listen on.

I've been a Neil Young fan since the day I first heard one of his songs, and this is one of the best records he's ever done. But I'm a fan of just about everything he's put out so...
Anyway in my opinion this is one of his very best
"Masterpiece" is an understatement. October 22, 2008

This album always puts me in a state of hypnosis in which I become absorbed by it, unaware of anything else around me. I can't listen to it while I'm driving, It's just that good. Same goes for "On the Beach".
