Home Before Dark

I have been a fan of Neil Diamond in the past, but I was very disappointed in this CD. If this is how he is now writing his songs now, I'll pass.

Simply speaking, three words summed up this come-back of Neil Diamond's - Deadly, Dull and Boring - music wise - lyric-wise - listening-wise. But at least someone else bought it at the first garage sale so it wasn't a complete loss.

This is vintage Neil Diamond. Every song is worth listening to. The more you listen, the more it grows on you. Quality of CD is excellent. Neil is aging, but you would not know it by the production of this CD. The "album" notes are instructive and informative. If you like Neil Diamond, you will not be disappointed with this CD.

I bought this CD because I was intrigued by what new and wonderful music Neil could come up with now. I wasn't a bit disappointed; in fact, I was very impressed. The songs are richer and more soulful than anything I've ever heard from him, and Christians will especially feel the magnitude of his faith. Don't expect "icky-sweet," because these songs are honest and woven with the pain of having had a few bumps in the road. But for most of us, that is just the kind of music we can relate to. Whether you're a Christian, or not, buy this CD. It will stir your heart and soul like nothing you've heard in a long time!

Home Before Dark is the very best of all the CD's of Neil Diamond that I own.
Each morning I play this CD and have 'breakfast with Neil Diamond' after I wake
up. It's a great way to start the day!
