I was just introduced to Trans this year when a favorite customer of mine lent me the album.

I liked it.

I'm not a big Neal Young fan, I like a few songs, he sang good harmony with CSNY, but I've never brought an Young LP to the shop and I haven't played one in years. If I owned Trans I'd spin it at least once a year.

I'm no fan of McCartney as a solo artist but I listen to McCartney II once in a while. It has a lot in common with Trans in that it is his most hated album by many of his most ardent fans, and it included a fair bit of electronic instrument experimentation.
