Amazon.com essential recording
Beautiful Noise, Diamond's most overtly rock album, perhaps owes more to Elton's flash than Dylan's rough edges. Still, its recollections of New York City in the Brill Building days couple with some forceful studio pop (produced by Robbie Robertson, who would later invite Diamond to appear at The Last Waltz concert) for a generally successful concept album. One of Diamond's best mid-'70s singles, "Do You Know What I Mean," is included. --Rickey Wright
Album Description

 Neil Diamond, Beautiful Noise December 28, 2007
It was ok, not the greatest of what Neil Diamond has done.
It didn't have the smoothness. It was too edgy for me.

This is an album I have to listen to over and over. It is Neil's best!

No matter what he sings, Neil Diamond never fails to please. I play this CD and before long, my body is swaying and toes are tapping to the beat. Some lyrics upbeat, others touching the heart. His music is timeless, just as appropriate today as it was thirty years ago.

Beautiful Noise is Neil's very rockin' tribute to his hometown.While this album has some beautiful slow songs,it is the rockers
that I most enjoy.Songs like "Jungletime" and "Street Life" are almost-punk songs about NYC's nightlife.Neil's macho delivery matches the cool guitar riffs and the songs subject matters perfectly.
The album has many diverse styles-"Stargazer" sounds like it was written in the 1930's."Dont Think Feel" and "Surviving the Life" have a gospel sing-along flavor."If You Know What I Mean" and "Signs" very poetic and pretty."Dry Your Eyes" a powerful and timely rocker that deals with a nation healing from war.
Yes,Robbie Robertson poduced it and took some heat for it.But it is Neil Diamond who is still a superstar almost 30 years later!
Neil's first album after 2 year hiatus (1976) October 16, 2005

It's weird to watch the Last waltz and see people like clapton and dylan and then see Neil doing "dry your eyes". Robbie robertson took alot of crap for producing this album but it's awesome. Musicians are supposed to experiment and neil and robbie did just that. There's alot of good stuff on this one and it doesn't sound like a normal neil diamond album. 3 of my favorite diamond songs are on this one (if you know what I mean, lady oh, and dry your eyes). Once again, emotionally charged and kind of revolutionary when you consider the teasm that made this one. You also have to get "love at the greek" because it highlights neil's return to the stage after a 2 year hiatus and it is among the best live stuff I've ever heard.
