Neil Young is as strong as ever on Psychedelic Pill‚ and if there's a song out there this year more blunt‚ dominant‚ and triumphant as "Walk Like a Giant‚" I need to hear it now. Framed atop a thematic‚ twisted harmonic whistle‚ this one celebrates the brazen sacrifices of the counterculture without regret‚ and reminds us that perhaps that spirit has neither burned out nor faded away. A glorious‚ angry sixteen-minute rocker‚ and an anthem for all ages.
