The summer 2023 release as it is coming to life now is exactly how Young perceives it and has a sense of monumentality about it that conveys a place in history,” Reprise said of the album. According to Young, ‘Toast’ is “an album that stands on its own in [his] collection”. He cited the record’s melancholic tone as a reason why it never left the studio, explaining in last May’s aforementioned blog post: “Unlike any other, ‘Toast’ was so sad that I couldn’t put it out. I just skipped it and went on to do another album in its place. I couldn’t handle it at that time. 2001.” Finally there's The Way. Gentle, piano-driven and meditative, it comes with both a gorgeous tune and a whopping caveat: the Young People's Chorus of New York City. Inviting a childrens' choir to needlessly dunk a beautiful song in syrup is a cussed, bewildering move. A certain strain of Neil Young fan would expect nothing less. this is my favourite neil young record, and i've waited for an official release of this for a long time now. my feelings are mixed. so here is a short rundown of my 2023 chrome dreams experience.

All these releases come amid Young’s ongoing series of archival reissues. In April last year, he released the ‘Official Release Series Volume 4’ box set, comprising three classic albums from the 1980s – one of his own, and two collaborative efforts – as well as a rare EP that was only ever sold in Australia and Japan.

Neil Young’s deep dive into his archives will continue this August with the arrival of what’s considered one of the most mythic and desired items in his vault, his unreleased 1977 album Chrome Dreams. so after going through 4 copies of 2 different pressings, i'm finally happy to have landed on a 'quite' flat, very clean EU pressing. actually all of the copies i got very exceptionally clean. but as written before, all of them were warped. it was a warp disaster that i haven't experienced before. and that is a shame, especially after waiting for this release for such a long time. so this really is a missed opportunity, because the standard for NY vinyl pressings used to be impeccable. things went downhill for quite some time now.

Another extended work-out, No Hidden Path, is four minutes shorter, half as inventive and feels five times as long. The Believer and Spirit Road pass unmemorably. But just when the listener starts reflecting on Young's waning abilities, two songs arrive that suggest the fire is far from out. Dirty Old Man offers impossibly grizzled punk: the guitars don't sound distorted so much as decomposed, Young's voice fights to be heard above the sludge, but there's something gleeful about the delivery that suggests a sneaking affection for the song's lecherous, alcoholic protagonist. The album’s only fault is that it should have come out a lot earlier – not just in 1977, but in the timeline of Young’s archival releases. Where others of his generation have trusted outside experts with the rollout of their unreleased material, Young has handled it himself, bringing his famously eccentric hand to the wheel.
