Originally included as a bonus disc on early versions of Weld, Arc is 35 minutes of stray guitar explosions, feedback screeches, stage announcements, and drum checks, all edited together to form a continuous (and actually rather compelling) listening experience. Call it Neil's delayed reaction to Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, or think of it as his personal scrapbook of the Ragged Glory tour. Either way, you probably won't play it very often, but it's still a nice oddity to have in your Neil collection. --Dan Epstein Review: Five Stars - great Review: If you like your Neil Young rough, and tough. - I had misgivings after reading the reviews on ARC about buying this one. I am very happy with this, having listened to it once, before writing this and now again as we go. This album is truely everything the previous reviewers say good and bad. I can sympathize and see where someone is coming from who doesn't like this. If you do not think this is a good album you will probably think it is complete junk. If you prefer Neil's softer music, the stuff, say without Crazy Horse, don't bother with this. If your looking to hear some meaningful lyrics try something else. If you like your Neil, rougher the better, than give this a go. Even then you will not know whether you like it until you hear it, and these reviews, negative or positive, can not give this justice. Neil always trys to take a different approach or comes up with a completely knew one, from things he has done in the past, sometimes that means taking things to the limit and maybe beyond. Neil's tendency to play the opus, love of distortion, his focus here on feedback and ability to take things all the way to the limit and the hell what anyone thinks, are all fused together in ARC, grinding through here, maybe in its ultimate form. We should all know by the name ARC and the albums relation to the Weld album, but seperate release that even Neil new this was a different animal, and not for everyone. The title envisions metal, grime, industry, rawness and extreme energy and that is what you'll get here. Nobody seems to accuse him of being stuck in a rut with anything he does. Different is not always good or entertaining to me, I am a big Beatles fan but really dislike both the formentioned Wonderwall album and Revolution #9. They just seemed to lack any art or emotion. But I like this, maybe it was Neil's mood at the time, never cared for his politics, but I'm glad he lets it spill (pour) into his music. This will not make it into my regular music rotation, but I think if I ever feel the need to blow off some steam, I'll put it on and crank it. As I listen though this the second time I may yet have to change this to a five star. Hope this helps someone. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000002LRQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #226,692 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #1,011 in Rock Singer-Songwriters #3,815 in Progressive Rock #4,666 in Folk Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (80) | | Date First Available | December 15, 2006 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Reprise | | Manufacturer | Reprise | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 1991 | | Product Dimensions | 4.92 x 5.59 x 0.47 inches; 3.1 ounces | ## Images ![Arc - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZQeb9w4qL.jpg) ![Arc - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-SB4fxAcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by F***N on January 19, 2017* great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you like your Neil Young rough, and tough. *by M***O on March 26, 2006* I had misgivings after reading the reviews on ARC about buying this one.
