"Viewed as part of Young and Crazy Horse's run of albums that began with 1990's Ragged Glory, Toast feels conceptually closer to Sleeps With Angels and Broken Arrow - albums that dealt squarely with loss. Musically, however, Toast inhabits a space somewhere between all three. There are rowdy barn-raisers, but also melodic, meditative grooves and strange, insidious songs. It's an album of almost fragile beauty, intense loneliness and raging storms. Not for the last time, Crazy Horse took Neil Young somewhere he wasn't expecting. It's just a shame it's taken us so long to get there too".
