It certainly isn't his best album, but I enjoy it for the most part. Being that I am a big Neil Young and Pearl Jam fan, this album was of particular interest to me and didn't really hit me for the first few listens and after a while it grew on me. Its a fun record and lately I've been listening to it a lot and my interest is renewed. Any one have any thoughts on it? Here are my top 5.

1. Song X.
2. Throw Your Hatred Down.
3. Scenery.
4. Peace and Love.
5. Truth Be Known.

It was a duet with this girl I had a crush on. And then she saw me at a party later on and I was really stoned, and she had nothing to do with me after that. Yeah, I guess I've always kind of crooned." - Matt Cameron of Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Wellwater Conspiracy fame on being asked about singing.

I got it in hope, listened to it a few times, but it never grabbed me by the balls.

I may try it again.

I don't think I ever gave it a second spin, actually.

I liked Pearl Jam's "Merkinball" that was packaged with it much better. Especially "Long Road".

As for "Mirror Ball", there were some decent songs (Song X), but nothing really memorable. Want a great, heavy Neil album? Get "Ragged Glory".
