SILVER & GOLD
Silver & Gold is the 23rd studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released on April 25, 2000. Many of these songs were written in the late 1990s, though the song "Silver & Gold," which by his own estimation, he had been trying to get "the take" for around ten years, was written in 1981. - WIKIPEDIA
Critic Reviews
Show All-
Ultimate Classic Rock
2015 - Rather than try and write a whole new array of material for what would become Silver & Gold, Young instead leaned heavily on material he’d kept stored up throughout the years to flesh out the bulk this new record.

ALL MUSIC
Silver & Gold reveals itself as a nice Neil Young record. Nothing particularly special, but nice all the same.
-
NME
2005 - if there's nothing here to raise your blood pressure higher than a kitchen tap, it's still a pleasant stroll in an autumn sunset.
-
AV/MUSIC
2000 - lacks drama: Its drifting daydreams and doodles stick around just long enough to leave a pleasant impression before fading away, but it's a bit like walking into a movie just in time for the happy ending.
-
NO DEPRESSION
2000 - Silver & Gold is still no accident. In words, and sometimes even in soothing but never wimpy sound.
-
The Austin Chronicle
2000 - rings incomplete and unfulfilling.
-
The Guardian
2000 - Silver and gold, but no treasure.
-
popMATTERS
2000 - finds Neil Young further on down the road, he's yet to show signs that the well is even getting shallow, let alone drying up.

Robert Christau
These 10 well-culled copyrights, two from the '80s and only four from 2000, are something new and ominous, because they're dull.
-
Only Solitaire
the problem is that the actual songs aren't too good. The melodies are less hook-filled than on Harvest Moon and not at all memorable.
-
Adrian Denning
It's just a bunch of mostly acoustic Neil Young songs.
-
Mark Prindle
More folkish than anything he's done since the 70s.

Don Ignacio
This is a good album.
