...Worse than anything else, on many of these tracks the band simply seems lazy, as if they have little left to say and less inclination to bother to try. In the title track, Young's lyrics are an affront to the man's talent and achievements, with clichs such as, "Looking forward all that I can see/is good things happening to you and me." One wonders if Young is actually "looking forward" or if he is merely asleep at the wheel. This is not to imply that there is nothing to recommend Looking Forward. Young's guitar work alone...
...David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young first album together since 1988's faltering American Dream--is grounded in the past.

Our hosts, Christoph and Jutta, were warm country folk, with an agreeable predisposition to sausage and beer, but, alas, an ugly fetish for American music...
...ebullient; it is deafening. "It's bigger than band," says Herm Adams, who convened it. "It's the largest group in the school." Actually, not in the school. One of the peculiarities of life in Webster Groves is that in a community in which Catholicism is the largest Christian denomination, and in a school that has no on-campus prayer groups, the most important weekday social event is Club, the entry level of a national Evangelical group called Young Life...
