Neil has done it again.... June 2, 2008
I am a HUGE Neil Diamond fan, so I was pretty excited when his "12 Songs" CD came out. I loved it and thought Neil could not do any better than that.
Well, I was wrong. "Home Before Dark" is fabulous!! Hearing Neil play the guitar and sing is wonderful! He and Rick Rubin should have started working together a long time ago!
I have seen Neil in concert 8 times, and I am going again in September. I hope he sings ALL of the songs from "Home Before Dark", and usually I prefer his greatest hits stuff.
My brother is also a huge fan and he loves the CD. If you like Neil, you will love "Home Before Dark."

It takes a little while getting used to his new music. However, as always, I will learn to love it. Virginia Killeen

A musical journey June 8, 2008
If you are a Neil Diamond enthusiast, as I am, then I think you will find this album to embody the artist's heartfelt reflections on his life. I have always found Diamond to be both story-teller and poet in his music and, most of the time, at an honest level. One thing he certainly has been on over the last few decades is a journey of spiritual discovery, and I have appreciated his integrity. I believe "Pretty Amazing Grace" says it all.
This will not create new fans, only delight old ones... June 29, 2008

While I applaud the effort of a singer-songwriter, in this day and age, who tries to construct good, old-fashioned "songs", I have to say this album is kinda boring for those of us not completely enamored with Mr. Diamond.
And please don't read the liner notes prior to listening; he's kind of a blowhard in a pompous and fussy way.
The songs are not that catchy or memorable. He sings as if every word from his lips is gold, precious. It's a little weird, that affectation.
And no, I'm not a Neil "hater" or anything like that. His catalogue of songs will justly endure long after you or I are gone from this planet, but all this hoopla over this slight (but endless...many songs drone on after the five minute mark...) CD is a bit unjustified.
I'd still like to see him in concert...I think it'd be fun...but this record tries too hard to be "something." It's not. Don't get your hopes up too high, and his loyal fans will be pleased. He just will not create new converts to the fold.
