Once again, Young makes use of a well-known formula of his by releasing a new release as almost entirely a live recorded album. Ten years after Rust Never Sleeps, he almost pars that exquisite performance, and many critics rate it among his very best. Freedom was seen and praised as Young back on track again. He continues his strong criticism on American double moral and its incapability of taking care of its own people when they haven't got money or jobs, and it's also a fight against the political government of George Bush. Later on, the album has been mentioned as one of the sources to the 'grunge' movement in the early 1990s.
