Sinner

This week's list of new Canadian album releases is headed by the ever-prolific Neil Young, with Talkin’ to the Trees. His 44th studio album, it features his new band, the Chrome Hearts, and is heavily political in tone. Loudersound notes that "there’s no denying that he’s capable of writing gloriously blunt and bracing protest songs when he’s properly fired up. 'Big Change' and 'Let’s Roll Again' are the new record’s snarling highlights, a one-two knockout punch of sarcasm-drenched yet entirely sincere bile in which Young cranks up his guitar and takes direct aim at Trump and his lackey Elon Musk."
