This eight-song album is a collaboration between the acclaimed rock icon and musician, songwriter, and producer Daniel Lanois, known for his work with U2, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, Brian Eno, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, The Neville Brothers and many others. As producer or co-producer Lanois won Grammy Awards in 1987, 1992, 1997, 2000, and 2001.
Young and Lanois have crossed paths musically over the course of many years, including Lanois' performances at Young's Bridge School Benefit Concert and Young's performance at Farm Aid when Lanois was Willie Nelson's music director, but this is the first time the two have recorded together. Recorded in Lanois' home in the Silverlake area of Los Angeles, ‘Le Noise’ features Young on acoustic and electric guitars with Lanois adding his trademark sonic textures, creating one of the most sonically arresting albums Young has ever recorded. No band, no overdubs, just ‘a man on a stool and me doing a nice job on the recording,’ as Lanois puts it.
‘Neil was so appreciative of the sonics that we presented to him,’ Lanois says. ‘He walked in the door and I put an acoustic guitar into his hands - one that I had been working on to build a new sound. That's the multi-layered acoustic sound that you hear on the songs 'Love and War' and 'Peaceful Valley Boulevard.' I wanted him to understand that I've spent years dedicated to the sonics in my home and that I wanted to give him something he'd never heard before. He picked up that instrument, which had everything - an acoustic sound, electronica, bass sounds - and he knew as soon as he played it that we had taken the acoustic guitar to a new level. It's hard to come up with a new sound at the back end of 50 years of rock and roll, but I think we did it.’ read more..

long overdue by Kenneth J Norman
I have been a fan for many years and been through the ups and downs, this most definately is an up! Sonically nothing I have heard in the last couple of years even comes close. The better your sound system the more you will get out of this.
people change and their perspective gets altered by life, Neil is not immune to that. I love the old classic NY "After the Gold Rush" "Harvest" "Comes a Time" "On the Beach" Zuma"and even "Time Fades Away" but these were written by a much younger man. If anyone is expecting something along those lines they are bound to be dissapointed in this and any other future release.
Having attended his recent tour I had a feeling for what was coming but still money is short and I need to be practical, With some mild reservations I preordered the CD and I am happy to say that it has most certainly exceeded my expectations.
If you decide to buy it dont get hung up on the lyrics, dont search for the meaning of life in here just set aside 35 minutes alone and listen, theres enough sound going on here to fill a stadium.
