Manassas

Right...shit

the first artist to come up that i have genuinely never heard of and know nothing about. how exciting - no preconceptions and no biases. it started off promisingly with some strong swamp rock, but fuck me did the wheels came off when the neil young vibe reared its head. fucking long slog after that.

Some of the songs were alright but this was too long, didn't enjoy it much for its length

It was ok, I enjoyed some of the songs but largely had nothing significant to offer me

Fully forgettable and too long. Not bad though just meh

Hmm well...

Quite liked a couple of tracks. The blues track at the end was cool. But generally a bit boring and nondescript. A high 2

vast weer een prrrrrrima album, maar niks voor mij.

Ze hebben nu allemaal wel voldoende aandacht gekregen toch, die Crosby, Stills en Nash?

Deed me soms aan Eric Clapton denken. Maar allemachtig, kunnen we in dit project een keer verlost worden van alles wat met Crosby, Stills & Nash te maken heeft?

Some of this album was okay, but I was looking forward to it finishing.

Very middle of the road and generic. I get that Stills is a big deal, but this isn't for me and I don't really get what is so good/significant about this album. 5/10

I like some of Stills' other work but this wasn't as good as some of that.

I think if I gave this 3/4 listens it might grow on me. But it’s too big a risk

note my style

Started off really well, then plummeted to awful country rubbish. First 2- 3 songs were nice rock

meh, not really my thing

Nothing special

Not my kind of music but of course it’s great

"Johnny's Garden" caught my attention, the rest sounding really blah to me. Lost points for album being too long, lost points for lame album cover.

Blah classic rock

A couple songs that I like (Colorado, Jimmy's Garden, etc.) and probably a good album, just not for my taste

2.5

OK, but nothing great and quite dated.

Oldschool country?

unfortunately nothing on this stood out to me, kind of muddied in the mix of '70s rock'

The Hippy sound from the 70's embodied the Baby Jesus movement.

Too f ing long

I haven’t heard this before. I recognize a few songs from classic rock radio and a few others sound like other songs from classic rock radio but aren’t the same, I can’t tell if those songs were influenced by/ripping off these songs or vice versa. There are some great vocal harmonies on here that are reminiscent of what he did with Crosby Stills and Nash, but for whatever reason come out sounding like the Eagles or America or another skin crawlingly bad 70s country rock band, or something even worse like Steely Dan. I think it mostly has to do with the instrumentation and rhythms and just the general 70s-ness of it that turns what could be great into schlock. A few songs range from ok to good but they are outweighed by the bad ones and being a double album, that ratio is high. Even cutting it down to a single album or even an EP wouldn’t make it a good album, so making it a 72 minute slog is way too much.

Here's the problem with reading reviews before getting through the music; it makes you hear things you otherwise wouldn't have heard. Now I'm pretty tolerant of this genre of music because it's more about the spirit of music than it is about how it sounds. One of the top reviews points out how bad Stills' voice is and I can't help but hear it more than anything else. Another pointed out how the whole album is just a jam session and is in the same chords and tempo. This killed any enjoyment I had because nothing irks me more than a Jam Session album. Jam sessions are like diaries: they're only for the members of the band to self-indulge and try out things they couldn't get away with at a live performance or in a recording setting. Jam sessions are typically drawn out and monotonous for the soul purpose of "feeling the music". This album is take it or leave it. I couldn't care less for any of the songs presented and none of them really impressed me beyond the fact that it is all very accessible and not very inspired. It's mostly just music that you could put on at the sleepy retail store and no one would take notice or offense to the sounds playing while they shopped for shampoo and hamburger buns. 3/10

A double album of songs ranging from "ignorable" to "actively dislike"? The CSNY extended universe has been tedious for me, lots of 2s and 3s, but this is a 1.5 and I might round down.

Eh? I got bored as shit

Terrible

Imagine if the grateful dead was even more boring.

Gross. I don't like a man's butt.

Holy fucking double album SNOOZE FEST. There was maybe 5 total minutes of this hour plus slog-a-palooza that my ears found interesting at all. I never want to hear this again.

I was very much enjoying this long streak free of early 70's Blues-y Folk Rock. But alas, all good things come to an end. I just can't with this Laurel Canyon scene or whatever you want to call it. They all sound the same! This time we got one of the less important of the Corsby, Stills, Nash & Young crew with a double(!) album. Lord have mercy! Key tracks: Fallen Eagle

Not objectionable in anyway but really did nothing for me at all

Yeah, no.

"Alright Robert, we need a list of the best/most influential albums of all time. What do you have for us?" "I found this album called Man Asses" "Good enough let's put it in there"

Unfeasibly even less listenable than CSN, not to mention Elton John, Cat Stevens and Deep Purple - towards the rock bottom of the one stars albeit that “Colorado” keeps it above AC/DC, Alanis, Tears For Fears et al…

Did not like this at all - but enjoyed the use of cowbells. How far was a song I enjoyed but that was literally it out of the whole thing

Really did not like this.

Felt like something was was missing the whole time. Couldn't get through it all :(

Huh

No one ever asked for a Stephen Stills double record. Ever.

Didn’t blow my mind. I had no affection for it

It's well made music but not for me. Maybe my dad would like it...

Don’t do drugs kids, they make you think double albums are cool

Gjort för amerikaner

1/5, rubbish

easy to listen to but it wasn’t very much memorable. the instrumentals were nice though

1972 I've had a day... This isn't going to complete it Heard before ❌️ Listened this time ✅️ Stone of it Revisit ❌️ Not for me ★☆☆☆☆

This was awful. Turns out you can be a rock legend and still need others to produce actually listenable music. In the bottom five albums I've heard via this challenge. And I LIKE both Buffalo Springfield and CSNY.

Meh.

Psychedelic Rock I wished would end a lot sooner than the album actually does.

There is no better word to describe "Manassas" than "meh". That's all I have to say about it.

This is the second Stephen stills album in a row for me. I really hope there are no more. This was duller than the other one

So so lame. Imagining people jamming to this, bobbing their head to the beat makes me laugh Rating: 1.4

kuravelliä rockkisoittoa kuravelliä. Yleinen käymälä

1 stern

Not for me. 1/5

No me gustó, no es mi estilo de música, pero no es necesariamente malo

Managed to get about halfway through this. Formulaic Seventies 12 bar blues with a sprinkling of old-timey Americana just to interrupt the flow a bit.

I quite liked CSNY but this is fairly forgettable.

Jos levy on suuri niin ehkä siitä tulee myös Suuri. Ehkä ei.

rapaz que trem sem tempero. Que Picolé de XUXU. SEm graça pra cacete! Um creedence, que já é ruim, mil vezes pior. Ainda bem que conheci pra não mais ouvir. Músicas todas iguais, que não marcam nada, sem emoção...sem nada. Sentaram e fizeram sem amor essas músicas. Grande abraço, tchau e bença!

Sooooo long. Sooooo boring. I'd rather be listening to any of these people's main bands. The best parts sound like The Flying Burrito Brothers. The other 60 minutes plod on to nowhere.

This is the album that a guy who refers to himself as a pitmaster listens to first when he buys a Harley

70’s

Nope

3.66 rym country folk quindi 1/5

1 hour and 12 minutes of boomer bullshit.

Terrible

Not for me 1/5

Nicht meins

Bland.

Like playing two hands before flipping the table

Another bland "classic/alt/psychedelic rock with a touch of country" albums to throw on the pile.

Zzzzzz

blues wtf

Boring as fuck

aaaa f

The blues rock part had some interesting ideas but everything was really mis. Than the album got to country rock and was the embodiment of everything I hate about it. Than some other genres passed but I was already done with the album. Did not finish it.

Boring

Not for me at all.

Meh. Felt like every song sounded exactly the same, which made this a slog to get through.

did not enjoy this, as it sounds like someone asked AI to make a 70s rock album

ughhh enough already i hate this shit

Never trust a hippy. This is a fabulously self-indulgent, self-important and cringeworthy album. The nadir is surely Jonathans Garden in which we have to consider the following: With his love And his carin' He puts his life Into beauty sharin' And his children Are his flowers There to give us peace In quiet hours I have considered it enough. One star.

Double album. Oh no. Stephen Stills. Oh no. Country rock. Oh no. Early 70s. Oh no. A fuckular concoction of elements most foul. My man ass did not enjoy this and I will certainly not be "spreading them cheeks".

I had a really hard time listening to this one. I like CSNY but I guess S on his own is just not an interesting enough lead voice. There are some nice harmonies on the folky/ bluegrassy tunes. I got a few tunes in and it all just sounds like generic classic rock to me. Way too many songs. Not a bad album but I’d definitely be fine dying without hearing it.

Another album unable to listen to as it’s not available online

No pude

So this guy, Stephen Mills, apparently gathered a bunch of people together to restlessly record an album. After a lot of sleepless nights and restless days, his newly formed band created the self-titled album. A considerably huge 70-minute album that tries to touch every realm of the country genre. It has 4 parts, each for every subgenre, rock, bluegrass, folk, and... experimental? I dunno, it doesn't change the fact that none of those parts impressed me. It's pretty boring. One good thing about the tracks is that the length seems to be perfect. At the very moment I decided to push the "next" button, I would see that there are 2 seconds left on the track. But is the album's length perfect? Er... no.

I have never heard of this before.

Only got to track 4!

Bad

I am not really a fan of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, and they (collectively) have like 17 albums on this list. This album is no exception to this rule. I'm not really looking forward to any of the 16 others. Highlights: 8, and 9.

Its a tad too Christian/southern rock for my taste. I dont think it's bad, just not what I wanted to listen to this morning

Big swing and a miss IMO

Dull.

Too hippy dippy for me

I don’t care for Crosby, Stills, and Nash. I most definitely don’t care for just one of them.
