Ranked #31 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "Mostly electric, always raging, LE NOISE delivers ghostly resonance and cathartic thrills...", "The eight songs are layered in sustained distortion and electronic effects and feature heavy delays on Young's recognizable tenor.", Ranked #2 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "A solo guitar album, recorded intimately but given reverberant scale by Daniel Lanois.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "The guitar sounds engineered here by Young and Lanois are astonishing, almost terrifying at times in their elemental beauty..."

Le Noise melds Neil Young's two extremes: at its core it's an acoustic singer/songwriter album but it's performed like loud guitar rock, made noisier by producer Daniel Lanois.
