MIRROR BALL was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. "Peace And Love" was nominated for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, and "Downtown" was nominated for Best Rock Song.
No, THIS is the album on which Neil Young sounds like Neil Young again. Not RAGGED GLORY with its pulverizing guitar catharses--that was the sound of rust waking up--and not SLEEPS WITH ANGELS, which was Neil Young using old tricks to eulogize a new dog. They're both important records, but MIRROR BALL is, plainly, a great one, an album of cosmic brooding and monstrously simple guitar riffs that ranks with his classic '70s discs.
Young's band for this unlikely masterpiece is Pearl Jam, who end up sounding less like their accomplished selves than like Young's longtime garage band, Crazy Horse, only denser, because there are more guitars here. Mostly, they bash out supradistorted, plodding power chords, opening up a loud space for Young to bang out his own riffs and solos and croon like a cosmic cowboy. The songs are typical Young epics, with verses so sadly pretty that there's no overriding need to change anything once they get going--quite often, he doesn't. "Act Of Love" is a continuous exchange of two two-chord sections--ABABAB etc.--either of which could make for a classic-rock standard on its own. And the 7-minute long "I'm The Ocean," a manifesto for a wandering poet that pulls in imagery of American Indians, cars and the O.J. trial, goes one simpler, being the same four chords repeated 62 times--no chorus, no bridge, and no call for either. Young and Pearl Jam rock with the excited, can't-stop energy of a first rehearsal take, which some of these tracks may well be--listen to Young call out "let me just play the groove for a minute" at the start of "Downtown."
Halfway through the album, Young goes to a pump organ for a haunting, 45-second song about "What Happened Yesterday." Much of what follows sounds like more notes on the death of Kurt Cobain, a journal Young started on SLEEPS WITH ANGELS. "Scenery" is a bitter look at stardom in America, but "Peace And Love," which invokes John Lennon, is a plea to live through this: "Stay for the children/You don't really want to go." It defies the rock aging process that Young, at 49, can still speak in a voice that resonates with Cobain's generation, who could well be his children ("People my age/They don't do the things I do," he notes in "I'm The Ocean"). But he inspired them, and they him, and MIRROR BALL finds him back at his game without having to fit into a new flannel shirt. He was already wearing one.

8 - Very Good - ...Young, like today's grunge kids, has always seen anomie as sufficient unto itself....MIRROR BALL...suggests another parallel: Sometimes it's easier to string together some...power chords and a few forlorn references to religion, fame and suicide than to actually write songs. And sometimes that's just fine...
Spin (09/01/1995)

...Part of what makes MIRROR BALL so moving is [a] sense of being unstuck in time, not so much musically--though the combination of Pearl Jam's uncompromised attack with Young's folk melodicism...suggests the spanning of generations--but by Young's vision...
Musician (09/01/1995)

3 Stars - Good - ...a rough and ready collection of Young songs, alive with studio ambience and, well, grungy...
Q (08/01/1995)

Recommended - ...VS. meets ON THE BEACH at ARC/WELD volume....What gets you first is the throb--the mantra-like whack of the hooks and the circular propulsion of the chord progressions....these aren't conventional songs, they're thunderclap soliloquies, raw grooves set to telegraphic narratives...
Melody Maker (06/17/1995)

9 (out of 10) - ...as shabby, as unrehearsed, as rugged and raw as anything he's released. But it is another fine Neil Young album....the record's sound is...big, woolly, live and booming...
NME (06/24/1995)

...mostly three-chord stompers, and Pearl Jam seems content to kick out the jams behind him....aims for that anthemic mode of the Neil Young of old, and despite a few muddled chords and even more muddled lyrics, the collaborative magic works... - Rating: A-
