Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk:
Remarkably Home Before Dark is the first US chart topping album of Neil Diamond's forty year career. It appears to repeat the formula behind 2006's acclaimed 12 Songs--relatively understated arrangements and a subtle Rick Rubin production. But Diamond, though sixty-seven years old and the oldest recipient of a Number One so far, is no Johnny Cash, turning his unique voice to some well chosen contemporary material. Instead Home Before Dark is a collection of new Diamond songs, and though they might not match the boomers in his back catalogue they are hardly stripped back. These are songs designed to fill large venues alongside the showstoppers in Diamond's still energetic live show. "Pretty Amazing Grace" is in the great tradition of Diamond songs that defy their corniness with sheer catchiness, as is "One More Bite of the Apple" while "Don't Go There" features bracing backing vocals and a delightfully dated wobbly guitar hook. The duet with Natalie Maines, "Another Day (That Time Forgot)", would fit comfortably on American country radio while "The Power of Two" sounds like another hit in waiting. In fact this is more a conventional Diamond collection than a Rick Rubin production, dominated by lightly understated country rock arrangements played by a crack team including Smokey Hormel, Heartbreakers Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell and the usually experimental Matt Sweeney. This is a charming and consistently solid set, though Home Before Dark does lack the unexpected intensity that made 12 Songs stand out so. -—Steve Jelbert

Product Description:
Home Before Dark is the long awaited new album from legendary artist Neil Diamond. Home Before Dark was produced by legendary producer Rick Rubin who also produced Neil's critically acclaimed 12 Songs.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Still Swinging for the Fences
Robert Christgau wrote a great review during a slump in Elton John's career: Rock and Roll those blues away. For most of us fans, it was his melodies and hooks that grabbed us. I am I said has some of the dumbest lyrics of all times, but that beginning just wouldn't let go. So, many of us hoped that this would be a time to find those chords again. I appreciate that the muted arrangements avoid the dreck of most of Three Chord Opera, but what I really want is a album of great melodies. You think if ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not My Favorite
I'm glad Neil has been recognized with a Number One album, but "Home Before Dark" is not my favorite. It is great music, but I still find his earlier music (late 60's to early 70's) to be more fun and enjoyable to listen to. I am very excited to see him in concert this fall.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - More Neil
There is no one singer like Neil Diamond. I enjoyed this newest CD with only one reservation...he needs to put more "life" into his music. I've given it a four star rating because it's Neil but I hope his next endeavor will have some of his earlier "life."


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Diamond is Forever
Home Before Dark (Deluxe Edition with DVD)

True Diamond fans will enjoy this album . " If I Don't See You Again" especially touched my heart . Keep them coming Neil - I will always want to see you again!!!! I am very pleased with my purchase , CD and DVD.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Pretty Amazing Grace
Neil Diamond has done it again. It's been awhile since I've loved an entire CD and this is it. Beautifully written and sung, it will lift your heart with the lyrics and music. Pretty Amazing Grace can mean a lot of different things to different people and that is the beauty of that song. Another Day with Natalie Maines astounds me with the beauty of the lyrics, music and one of the best piano parts I've heard in a long time. Hearing a piano sound exactly like the words just spoken is pure genius. ... Read More
