Amoeba Review

10/29/2012

Neil Young’s first album of new material with Crazy Horse in nearly a decade is, true to its name, a psychedelic tour-de-force. The two-disc album splits its time between expansive epics — the life-story-as-song of “Ramada Inn,” the uplifting “Walk Like a Giant” — and relatively bite-sized songs, like the “Cinnamon Girl” style bashing of the title track, which gets a thorough wash through the phaser-cycle (for any guitar geeks) and comes out gleaming. The relatively tossed-off Americana, released earlier this year, in which the band worked through standards, garage-rock style, spoke nothing of what they’d do here. Psychedelic Pill sounds warped in from another time, in the best way possible. It’s the two-disc opus the band never produced in its heyday — which itself may have to be reconsidered, given the energy, scope and power of what they’ve done in 2012.
