Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
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
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - IS IT JUST ME?
To put it in 1 sentence - The CD notes are as boring as the songs.

Why is it "Cool" to dismiss Neil Diamonds work before his work with Rick Rubin?...Any one of his non Rubin produced albums are far better than this. YES....any one! Try "Lovescape" to start.....15 songs, mostly cowritten by members of his long standing band. Who agrees? REVIEW BY MR C WILLIAMS, NOT MRS J



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best
Neil Diamond was on TV the other evening, An Audience with Neil Diamond. I do hope that Channel 4 make a DVD of it.
He was as wonderful as ever. How lovely to see him back and I cannot believe that you say he is 67, he has worn well, his voice is as good as ever. I cannot wait to go and see him.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ANOTHER AMAZING DIAMOND ALBUM
EVERY SONG ON THIS ALBUM IS A REAL GEM. THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN WELL WORTH WAITING FOR. NEIL DIAMOND IS A CLASSIC SONGWRITER/SINGER AND SHOWS ONCE AGAIN HOW BRILLIANT THIS MAN STILL IS. THE BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM IS "AMAZING GRACE" AND NEIL SINGS IT WITH SUCH HEART. CANNT WAIT TILL HE RELEASES ANOTHER ALBUM!!!!!!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Diamond in the rough
Literally never listened to a Neil Diamond album in my life, and then heard this and love it. My impression is that age has served Neil well, adding depth of sinceretly and experience to his lyrics, as well as an almost Johhny Cashe-seque grit to his voice. Like listening to a teacher singing you a lesson.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Different Shades of Dark
As I review this I note that Neil Diamond has just entered the Billboard 100 at number 1 for the first time in his career. This is an amazing turnaround for such an established artist. Not that many years ago he was perceived as someone who was decidedly showbiz and the purveyor of cheesy overblown extravaganza.

For true fans this was something that hurt, although there was certainly more than a grain of truth in the assessment. It has been said many times in previous reviews, a lot of them mine, that he peaked in the mid 70s, by which time he had written and recorded a catalogue of classic material.

Where did that man go? Well it seems that he simply took the easy option of treating his craft as something that could ... Read More:
