...These spare, mostly acoustic songs about death, loss and life's rearview mirror make for a draining listen. But they're not a drag because Young knows exactly how an album this thematically grim-he wrote and recorded it between being diagnosed with and treated for a brain aneurysm-needs to sound. At his most frightened (Falling Off the Face of the Earth), there's an easy melody and notes of assurance from the impeccably played instruments.

...thinking about things like that, and it's kind of too bad that people know about this, because it's like, "The only way he could make a good album is if he had an aneurysm," or something. I feel a little funny about it, because I know I would have made an album anyway, and I don't feel like I'm slowing down, but these things happen. Yeah, there's a lot of reflection.
