Another extended work-out, No Hidden Path, is four minutes shorter, half as inventive and feels five times as long. The Believer and Spirit Road pass unmemorably. But just when the listener starts reflecting on Young's waning abilities, two songs arrive that suggest the fire is far from out. Dirty Old Man offers impossibly grizzled punk: the guitars don't sound distorted so much as decomposed, Young's voice fights to be heard above the sludge, but there's something gleeful about the delivery that suggests a sneaking affection for the song's lecherous, alcoholic protagonist.

Recorded everywhere from Indigo Ranch Studio in Malibu, California to Quadrafonic Sound Studios in Nashville, Tennessee to Hammersmith Apollo in London, Chrome Dreams is not just a living, breathing full moon; it’s a document of a prolific, all-time era in Young’s career that never truly was. In 1977, he released the middle-of-the-road American Stars ‘n Bars—which was heavily shouldered by “Like a Hurricane”—and then, in 1978, he put out his country-focused Comes a Time—which was headlined by “Four Strong Winds,” a song Young didn’t even write.

He cited the record’s melancholic tone as a reason why it never left the studio, explaining in last May’s aforementioned blog post: “Unlike any other, ‘Toast’ was so sad that I couldn’t put it out. I just skipped it and went on to do another album in its place. I couldn’t handle it at that time. 2001.” Alexis Petridis. "CD: Neil Young, Chrome Dreams II | Music | The Guardian".
