Album Notes & Community Reviews

Personally compiled by Neil Young, this massive three-LP retrospective curates his prolific musical output spanning from his early days in Buffalo Springfield through his acclaimed mid-1970s solo work. Interspersed with a handful of crucial, previously unreleased tracks, the collection seamlessly oscillates between gentle, acoustic country-folk and abrasive, distortion-heavy hard rock. 'Decade' remains an unparalleled summary of one of rock's most restless and brilliant songwriters.
