Ordinarily, I'd let it pass since Mr. Young's work has been spotty of late - did you think Greendale was any good? I didn't. His new album, Living with war is coming out this summer. It's all about our current situation and even has a song called "Let's impeach the President."
Read what Howie Klein, former Reprise Records head and current blogger, has to say about it - he's heard the album.
I answer your question about his latest work on my blog. I agree that he's had some real clunkers since 2000's Silver and Gold. But, Prairie Wind seems to signal a return to good music from Mr. Young. I guess the aneurysm gave him a renewed direction!
