1 of 6 people found the following review helpful: Great voice wasted on vapid lyrics 5/28/2008 I've listened to this once, and that's probably the only time I'll ever listen to it. From a songwriter of Neil Diamond's caliber the lyrics sound like they were written by a high school freshman in his first creative writing class. Example: All I want Is to do it once more Let me get through that door Cause I still do believe that I can Want that one more bite of the apple And just a chance to taste it once again Been around the world a time or two Everywhere I've been I thought of me and you I was hoping you'd remember how it used to be And maybe that you'd still remember me And that apple just as sweet as it could be Reach right up and pick one of that apple tree Just vague "you" and "me." Who's singing here about apples, Adam to Eve? "Remember how it used to be." What is "it?" The Garden of Eden before The Fall? His recording career? A relationship between two people? I want back through "that door?" First mention of a door comes at the end of the song. What's that about? Neil's voice has never sounded better, but it's frustrating that it's wasted on such inane lyrics. Things are gonna get serious. What a waste of a chance for the two of us. What can I do? Is it so mysterious? I would be much less than I am if I couldn't have you. Neil, you say you would be "less than I am," but you never say exactly what that is. What is it that this other person did that made you what you are? S/he was your "friend" and "by your side," but why, specifically--in the set of circumstances that precipitated this song--did you need a friend by your side? Rick Rubin also produced Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt," and he should've made Neil listen to it every day, forcing him to tighten up his songwriting. Neil seems to be drawing from a well-used group of metaphors and similes: "I was an empty vessel, you filled me up inside." Plato was using "empty vessel" as a metaphor way back then. Some of my first albums growing up were Neil Diamond albums. I'd listen to "Hot August Night" through headphones, over and over. Compared to that album, this just seems like phoning it in. Five stars for Neil's voice, zero stars for the album averages two stars, rounding down, just because I can. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
Awsome and The Best 5/27/2008 What Fun! It may take many years, but Neil Diamond is really Cool again. His music has always struck a wonderful chord with me personally, and I know for others too. But, this CD - is surely his best. What beautiful music, what beautiful lyrics and the Wow in arrangments. All of the songs on the "Home Before Dark" are songs we can all sing to. They all keep ringing in my head. I just can't seem to keep them out. I am so happy that this CD finally made the Number #1 Album. I am hoping that he will receive his just rewards; an emmy, and finally I hope that he will be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but I will not hold my breath on that one. It all started with "12 Songs" I loved "12 Songs" and it began at the Number # 4 on the charts, but because of spyware trouble it had to be taken off the shelves which did harm to Neil's CD, and to the computer's. That was just a terrible time for Neil. But, he kept at it and now he is receiving the kudo's he so rightly deserves. I beleive so much that "12 Songs is very much connected to "Home Before Dark", and it is a way of saying "Yes, to Neil". You are Number 1, and it is also Number 1 in the UK, and no dobut Number 1 will continue while he is in Europe touring and singing his beloved songs. Horray for Neil Diamond. We Love You Neil.....the Poet of our Time. Thank You. Was this review helpful?

But, I find myself listening to this CD over and over and over again. Yes, it is a melancholy album, but that is where he is at his best. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
new Neil Diamond album 5/27/2008 Neil Diamond continues to pull from his heart and soul a masterful treat in presenting his newest music. Love it, love Neil and looking forward to hearing him in concert in Omaha, NE on July 24th! Thank You. Was this review helpful?
Very nice CD, poor DVD 5/25/2008 With the advent of HD and surround sound you'd think SONY BMG could manage to use these technologies on the music DVD. The DVD is very poor sounding and poorly mixed. A real waste, IMO. Doesn't fill the HD screen no matter how you configure it. It's only 480i for Pete's sake. The CD, on the the other hand is quite nice. The good: Neil still sounds great, The CD is mixed well, The bad: SONY BMG doesn't get it. No reason to buy the deluxe edition IMO. Poor audio on the DVD, and only 480i video. Three thumbs down on the technicals. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
