Overview:
Trans is the twelfth studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released in 1982. Recorded partially and released during his Geffen era in the 1980s, Trans baffled many Neil Young fans. Some suggested that the album could be a satirical message that Young was trying to send about the direction music was headed in the future. A Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201 features prominently in six of the nine tracks. While the album was poorly received, some critics point out that the melodies are strong and that the album involves Young addressing new musical movements, as he did previously on Rust Never Sleeps and later with the grunge movement.
Originally released as an LP, the album was re-issued in 1998 on CD, although not in the US.
