For those of you who are angry about the war in Iraq, Neil Young has just released a new album called Living With War that is like a primal scream therapy session. Gone is the melancholy Neil dealing with his feelings of growing old that we have endured through Harvest Moon & Prairie Wind. The Godfather of Grunge Rock has returned, and he is here to kick some ass. Don't get too excited though. None of the cuts off this album rank with his two pissed-off classics Southern Man and Ohio. But it is well worth a listen.
In an Abbie Hoffmanesque gesture, Neil has made the entire CD available for streaming download. You can listen to it by clicking here:

Enjoy.

I have a draft post for my blog on this new album, and i love it. I like your comparison with Primal Scream therapy, 'cuase at times it fells like Neil is just begging you to join him in outrage by yelling the repeated lyrics.
If you like Neil Young, you will like this album. If you are against the war, you will feel grateful that a modern troubadour has done such a great job of giving us some anthems to express the feelings.
