Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: If Everybody Knows This is Nowhere and Ragged Glory are the two finest studio albums Neil Young recorded with Crazy Horse, Zuma certainly qualifies as a close third. Recorded in 1975, Zuma exudes both a sense of focus and a tentative optimism, two qualities that were completely MIA from the bleak Time Fades Away/Tonight's the Night/On the Beach trilogy that preceded it. "Barstool Blues", "Don't Cry No Tears" and "Drive Back" are terse, punchy rockers, while "Danger Bird" and "Cortez the Killer" are extended guitar work-outs in the grand Crazy Horse tradition. And the two acoustic entries--"Pardon My Heart" and "Through My Sails" (the latter was recorded with Crosby, Stills & Nash)--are absolutely gorgeous. Ignore the terrible cover art, and treat yourself to one of Young's most underrated records. --Dan Epstein Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Stands the test of time.I bought this album when it came out, on vinyl. Neil Young had been only partly known to me - i tended to think "acoustic" and "folky", which were not the kind of words i was into at that age. John Peel said that "nothing before had prepared him for the magnificence of Zuma" or words to that effect. As a keen JP listener and admirer, i thought I'd give it a go. Fabulous! It was as rock-y and discordant in places as you could wish. The guitaring was a revelation. Great songs, love-it-or-hate-it voice/singing - which i did love. The acoustic numbers and gentler tracks were great songs too, and perfect to sing when you were having a drink with your mates. "I've been looking for a lover, but I haven't met her yet - she'll be nothing like i picture ... Read More: Rating: - Quintessential Neil Young...Heralded on its release in 1975 as a long awaited "return to form" by those yearning for another "Harvest", "Zuma" is a much richer and wilder album which, on the way, showcases Neil Young's music in all its mercurial, often brilliant but rambling glory. Veering from the heavy metal grunge of "Drive Back", through the searingly powerful, wonderfully controlled guitar-work on "Cortez the Killer", the bizarrely addled incantations of "Barstool Blues", the foot-tapping country of "Lookin' for a Love", to the perfect MOR harmonies of "Through My Sails", it exemplifies what's made him so good but so frustratingly difficult to follow. And, up there with any of his better recordings, it's not only essential for any Neil Young fan but an excellent "next ... Read More: Rating: - Is this perfection?This masterpiece is stacked next to my Pearl Jam and NIN nails CD's like bread and butter. Emotional, edgy, dark and melodic are a few words that best describe Zuma. An acquired taste which gets under your skin - i've found after listening to this CD that it gets better with every fix. You got some up-tempo stomp along numbers like the two singles, "Don't Cry No Tears" and "Lookin' For A Love" and deep melancholy on the bluesy "Danger Bird" and the effortlessly cool "Cortez The Killer" I'm 19, which leaves me with little scope on classic rock but i know one thing. Neil Young and Crazy Horse are the only ones i care about. Rating:  - ****1/2One of Neil Young's "classic" albums, "Zuma" is named after Zuma Beach, California, where Young had acquired a house at the time. He is backed by his legendary touring band Crazy Horse on seven of these nine songs, and their costumary gritty, crunchy sound has something of a "live" feel to it. Neil Young has always been something of an acquired taste, sort of like Bob Dylan. Even his most accessible albums aren't THAT accessible, an even though he has crafted a number of radio-friendly hit singles, Young has always been more of an album artist. "Zuma" is a musically varied record, ranging from the very low-key acoustic "Pardon My Heart" to the thumping riff-rocker "Drive Back". "Don't Cry No Tears" is an upbeat, lively song with ...

Of all of his, even Tonight's The Night, this is the one I never get tired of. |
