Greendale is the name of an album and a movie, both made in 2003, by Neil Young. Neil Young and Crazy Horse's Greendale, a 10-song rock opera, is set in a fictional California seaside town. Based on the saga of the Green family, the "audio novel" has been compared to the literary classics of Thornton Wilder's Our Town and Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio for its complexity and emotional depth in exploring a small town in America. Greendale combines numerous themes on corruption, environmentalism and mass media consolidation into relevant post-9/11 art. The album, concert, film and DVDs have produced a vast divergence of critical opinion ranging from being called "amateur" to being voted as one of the best albums of 2003 by Rolling Stone magazine music critics. The CD was originally released with a DVD of live "Neil-only" acoustic performance of the Greendale material from Ireland. In 2004, the CD was released with a new DVD containing a live performance of Neil Young and Crazy Horse. In late 2004, the feature length DVD with actors lip-synching the material was released.
