I Love Home Before Dark! May 9, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I love Neil's new CD, Home Before Dark. I really like the guitars and piano. I like the simplicity of the music but it is so intense. I love the duet with Natalie Manes. I loved it the first time I heard it. Pretty Amazing Grace is just wonderful. I love Whose Hands Are These. I really love all the songs on the CD. It is not Neil as a young performer but Neil as a mature wonderful man.
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH SHINES BRIGHTLY ... May 9, 2008

Neil Diamond's new CD, Home before Dark, is brilliant, sparkling, multi-faceted, clear, pure and flawless. Everything you'd excpect from a Diamond and more! And that's just for the first song, "If I Don't See You Again."
As a loyal fan of Diamond's music dating back to the 60s, Home Before Dark is the quintessential conglomerate of this man's talent, creative artistry and confessional soul-bearing. Nothing about Neil is phony ... there are no cubic zirconias anywhere near this Diamond. He is raw, he is honest, he is deep, he is real ... and he is human. His lyrics tell the story of his life and his music caresses and enfolds those words beautifully and masterfully on Home Before Dark. And it leaves you wanting more ... to know him more, to know his music more and to learn more ... about life and human failings and love that is gained and lost and regained again.
If you love a story, and if you love music, then treat yourself to a musical story of life with its ups, downs and all the in-betweens that go along with it. Neil Diamond is a masterful storyteller and interpreter of lyric - second only to the immortal Frank Sinatra in my opinion - but Neil is telling it "his way" today with the same poignancy and depth as Ol' Blue Eyes himself, and with more than just a touch of some "pretty amazing grace."
Run, don't walk to your nearest musical outlet and get this incredible piece of Neil's soul, and then be sure to get home before dark to listen well into the wee small hours of the morning. By daylight, you will be lifted, inspired, entertained and grateful.
Love this CD!!! May 8, 2008

Home Before Dark may not resemble the music that Neil turned out in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's however the songwriting and performing on this CD is nothing less than incredible. This is a new style for Neil, which he started with 12 Songs, and in my opinion he has fined tuned it in Home Before Dark and made it his own in a very extraordinary way. Don't buy this CD if you are looking for a CD full of Sweet Caroline songs however if you are a serious music lover and Neil Diamond fan I would highly recommend purchasing this CD. This CD showcases Neil's talent at its best!!
Way to go Neil!! Hope this CD makes it to #1!!!!!!!!!

I have loved Neil all my life, and bought all of his albums in every format, plus the boxed sets.
But this is just not the Neil that I fell in love with. This is a tired almost dreary reminising about life.
