About this album

Landing On Water is one of Neil Young’s most provocative 1980s detours, replacing his usual rustic attack with wiry synthesizers, drum machines and a sharp New Wave sheen. Released in 1986, the album reflects Young’s willingness to test his songwriting in unfamiliar surroundings, even as the results divided critics and fans. Tracks such as Weight of the World, Violent Side and Touch the Night show him leaning into taut, polished arrangements without losing his characteristic unease. Though rarely counted among his classics, it remains an important document of an artist refusing to stand still in the middle of a turbulent decade.
