Neil Diamond-Home before dark

Neil Diamond’s new album, Home Before Dark, is an intimate portrait of Neil Diamond, A portrait of every single thought that runs through Neil Diamond’s head while he just happens to have a pen handy. This album is so depressing and self-indulgent at times that it should be titled Songs to Slit Your Wrists By.

The music is simultaneously pretty and intense, with a heavy emphasis on acoustic guitar. Some of the melodies are lovely, particularly on “If I Don’t See You Again” and “Home Before Dark”.
