Deja Vu

Core formative music memories here.

Nice wholesome folk. Our house is a very very very fine song.

This was good background music. I enjoy a good supergroup. I think what I like most is there’s a different sound/singer in every song, so it never feels stale or repetitive.

I feel bad giving this a 3/5, but whatever. It's fine. I think CSNY are a bit overrated. Neil Young is great. David Crosby is good. The harmonies are great. But overall, I'm non-plussed.

- Our House is a Bean classic - other than that this is meh

- really solid Americana - love the vocals

it was nice !

💙💙💙

Amazing how good Neil sounds when not taking lead vocal. I enjoy the harmonies on the album. Some real classics on this one.

It sounded like your Grandpa’s music that he had on a record player. It was simple and was catchy throughout

Quite enjoyed this album. Loved the harmonies and the musical skills displayed. The guitar sounded great loved the little electric riffs in a lot of the songs. I also liked how the acoustic was used thought it was great not just the stereotypical use of it as a rhythm instrument.

not a Neil Young fan & not a fan of folk rock either, but this was better than I expected. enjoyed the harmonies, different guitar sounds, and most of the lyrics.

Love Mary Neil Young - it is a classic standard. Has its share of hits and awesome harmonies.

Classic incredible need it on vinyl

Way better than I would have expected. A good mix of genres and some great harmonies and guitar work

This is basically a greatest hits album by four songwriters who were at the top of their game when working together...which they rarely did because they were four songwriters who were at the top of their game and didn't need anyone else. "Almost Cut My Hair" is an absolute jam and gets stuck in my way too often. I'm not a fan of the solo music by any of these artists, outside of Neil Young, but this is a masterpiece. It's not the boring folk rock the first CSN album was and this is a must-listen. On other CSNY albums it seemed like some songs were written just so they could harmonize, but that's not the case on this one. Great album and highly recommend giving it a listen.

easy listening, but nothing that is going to blow me away. a nice little dip into the country music sound, but short enough that it doesn't linger for too long.

Hell yeHa

Really good on first listen, definitely coming back to this one

Every song kinda sounds the same

4+ Melkein mestariteos, mutta muutama keskinkertainen raita joukossa.

Always loved this album. A handful of great songs, and just a lovely feel to the whole thing.

CSN is already a songwriting harmony factory, but throwing Y in the mix, however brief, is pure folk legend and magic.

Decent. Mostly too slow for me. I liked the guitar beginning of Woodstock.

Oh crap, my saved review didn't save. Pooh. This was one of the soundtracks to a place and time and my life and I wore out the record. I loved it then and still love it, but I don't listen to it anymore as my tastes have changed. 5 stars!

Harmony echoes, Timeless voices weave through dreams— Deja Vu reborn.

This is nice! 4/5

A classic and a favorite

LOVE this album. College days.

Almost a four, it's very close. I really liked the more rocking songs as opposed to the folkier ones. The guitar work in those songs is brilliant and I'll be returning to those tracks I'm sure. Fav songs: - Carry On - Teach Your Children - Almost Cut My Hair - Everybody I Love You

Fabulous turn of the decade folk-rock

When this was first released I was never interested in the album or in all honesty gave it a listen. I was aware of one or two or the single releases but nothing more. As the time of release was at the height of some of the best Prog Rock albums ever to be released my musical interest and buying power was firmly elsewhere. I liked the single Woodstock and as it was the theme tune to something that was great (and so thankful and privileged that i lived through that time) I would nod my head in acceptance that CSN&Y were a big part of the Woodstock generation. But at that time I was more interested in King Crimson, Yes and Genesis and in any case I much preferred the Joni Mitchell version of Woodstock. And so it remained that CSN&Y remained at the edge of my musical consciousness. Skip forward 50 years and something happened that I struggle to put my finger on. Maybe it was a documentary about Laurel Canyon or one about David Crosby in his later years or an interview I heard by chance on BBC Radio 5 with Graham Nash. Could even be that my next day neighbour was always waxing on lyrical about them but something made me explore the music of CSN&Y more and I became hooked. I love the first album better than this but there is only a cig paper width between both. It is an absolute pleasure to listen from start to finish and maybe its because I am catching up on the lost years CSN&Y were not in my life, I cannot now imagine life without regularly listening. Never bought the original album but now proud owner of the CD and one of 20,000 lucky souls owning the Deja Vu Alternates album released a few years ago on Record Store Day. A record which sits proudly at the front of my collection. If you’d told me this 50 years ago.. A firm 5/5. 5/5 31/5/24

Wow. The first album in over 200 that goes straight to 5 star and am ordering on vinyl having not been familiar with it before. This stands out to me because it manages to offer variety that never loses it's quality. Some albums are very good but have one note, this seemed like a rainbow where the 4 members of the supergroup all contribute something different but equally brilliant. Almost cut my hair has one of the best guitar sounds I've ever heard, our house is beautiful as is teach your children. An absolute classic.

Classic sound

отличный рок для своих лет, но не явно не пробивается из своего времени. звук очень насыщенный, полный, объемный. гитары!

A great acoustic and vocal album, as expected! Not bad, but not my favorite CSNY outing.

Personal biases not aside, this album is great. I love folk rock. 'Almost Cut my hair' 'Woodstock' 'Our house' and 'Country girl' are my favorite tracks. I could listen to it more times and give a more thorough dissection but I don't feel I need to. I'm comfortable giving it 5 stars as is.

The vocals are obviously the stars of this album, and the three and four part harmonies are great. Some of them sound like a chorus pedal, some sound like an a cappella group, but they’re all great. The instrumental work, it’s a backdrop for the singing in all the songs except Carry On, imo. This album is extremely full of hippie-isms, which is fine because it was peak hippie time, but I laughed through Woodstock because all I could think of was that episode of South Park where they’re all stuck on the front of a festival. It’s a great song but I’d never listened to the lyrics that closely before; it’s super festie. I kinda got bored by the end as the songs all start to be a bit more slow and folky after “Our House”. Overall it’s good, but I’ll stick to the singles.

First two tracks slap then they were bragging about not getting their hair cut and I turned it off.

i did just cut my hair!!! exactly what i expected, but very well done. lot of young's voice. but well done. 2.75

Primo! This is my music.

The album is OK, except for when Neil Young sings (e.g. Helpless). I don't think I realized "Our House" was from CSNY.

I liked this better than the individual albums by various members we've heard so far. I think the collaboration makes for a more varied album that isn't quite as one note.

The familiar singles are a little trite feeling, but that's literally because of how much they've been used in movies, TV and other media (Our House, Teach Your Children). The harmonies are otherwise lovely (and not used on every goddamn song - looking at you Beach Boys), and the unfamiliar, non-harmony leaning songs (Almost Cut My Hair) are pretty good. Boomers aren't all bad. But for Neil Young.

Not my vibe.

A lovely taste of the 70s. Wonderful harmonies and great instrumental. 9/10 Would I listen again? Absolutely

Entspannte Musik aus den 70er 4/5

Thought this was going to be boring but it was rather pleasant!

Always forget how good CSNY were, so much talent packed into one group. Teach Your Children and Our House are classics of the flower child era, as is Woodstock. The songs in between are so good. The Stephen Stills opener Carry On, Young’s slow and sweet Helpless, Crosby’s defiant Almost Cut My Hair. The climactic Country Girl rounds it all out. Beautiful and powerful album.

It’s ok. Slow, vibing music

A crackerjack album! I accidentally listened to a 4 CD re-release and dug every moment of it. I felt like Our House and Woodstock were the weakest, I think because I just prefer other artist's take on them, but having never listened to this album, nor heard most of the tracks, the genre range and writing quality (and recording quality) kind of blew me away.

Meh. Not bad, but not their best work overall.

I was initially underwhelmed when I got unduly excited by the opening track which the rest of the album never quite matched or even came close to. Listened casually a couple of times thereafter and one final closer inspection and found myself in love with it. Carry On + Teach Your Children + Helpless (Look Down From The Bridge by Mazzy Star much??) + Woodstock + Our House (though the chorus and the la-la-las are a bit too childish even for that song) are all good-to-great-to-fantanstic. Tapers off just a bit in the second half but even there most of the songs are growing on me.

I don’t know if I love this or find it extremely strange. Maybe a little bit of both? It’s not cohesive, that’s for sure, and I think that’s what’s throwing me off. Main thing I learned is that I really, really like Stills as a guitarist, and I adore Young as a guitarist. Both of them have such a unique style (it makes sense that they were in a band together in another life) that just sounds unlike literally anything I’ve ever heard. Stills’ playing is a lot cleaner, but I think Young’s sloppiness is actually what I enjoy. Above all else, that makes this is good listen, because the guitar work is kind of cool to hear, as long as you’re into that sort of thing. I’ll also say, I think they’re all good songwriters. Now, I have a least favorite [Nash] and a favorite [Stills], but I’m not against any of them. I think all four have highlights and lowlights here. For me, all the lowlights are the folky, somber, acoustic tracks that seem to fill out half this record. Songs like “Teach Your Children” and “4+20” just do nothing for me. I am a bit stuck on “Our House,” as it’s got that post-Beatles domestic romanticism of romance that’s just cute and hard to resist, but then I think about it and it makes me roll me eyes, too. The other thing I don’t love are the psychedelic tracks. I don’t hate them, surprisingly, because they’re not so left-field that they ruin a song and/or drag it down, as psychedelic stylings tend to do, but they are…jarring? They just come out of nowhere. I think when they’re grounded by Young’s eccentric playing, they work a *lot* better, but on “Carry On” or “Deja Vu,” they feel unbounded and too loose for my taste. I’d also say, even though I’m still new to Young’s discography, his songs here feel, well, like lesser Neil Young songs – like, nothing standout, but nothing bad, and sometimes he does just have a knack for something gorgeous and true, like the last third of “Country Girl,” where he nearly brings me to goddamn tears. 
For me, though, Deja Vu lives and dies on the strength of its pure rock cuts. “Everybody I Love You” is a great closer, “Almost Cut My Hair” has all the gravity I think CSN&Y think the rest of album has and actually makes me sympathetic for aging hippies, and then of course “Woodstock” rips. I do like other songs on this album, but I don’t love them, or I only love pieces of them before they stray into territory I disagree with. These songs, however, are incredible standouts, through and through. While the rest of the album sounds every much like Music for Retiring Hippies™️, these 3 tracks sound legitimately timeless, vital, essential. And like, what do you do with that? How do I rate an album where I adore 3/10 songs, but then like anywhere from 30% - 50% of 4 other songs but would fast forward past the parts I don’t like on them? My general rule of thumb is if I like over half the songs on an album but less than 90%, it’s a 4/5, but like….what about half-of-a-song? (My other rule is if I would buy it on vinyl, and somehow, I already did, I’d just never played it, and I realize it came from an old yard sale dig I did when I was in my teens, and somehow I’ve kept all those albums because it was a good dig and my crates are still mostly organized by “order of purchase.”) I think when all’s said and done, once I’m more versed in all their solo work and prior bands’ output, I may need to revisit this to make a better determination, but as it stands, I can’t say I’m looking forward to that revisit. It’s just too piecemeal for me, down to parts of the song, and no album I actually enjoy would elicit that much nit-picking from me.

Enjoyed the two listens. These four together are a powerhouse. Woodstock was my favorite song, but I want to give the album more listens at a later date. 4/5!

Solid. More psychedelic than I thought.

Very good. Heard before - great harmonies.

songs were alright but like not memorable

Sorry guys, I am a zoomer. This is how I imagine peak folk to sound.

Not my usual thing but I appreciated it as an artifact

It's been decades since I've listened to this album in full. It was fundamental in my appreciation of folk and still holds weight for my today.

The songwriting here is just stellar. Each of these artists writing and performing together makes for some of the best folk rock ever. The mixing and performances are all great and bring a lot of heart to each song. My favorites were Woodstock, Almost Cut My Hair, and Our House

Simply a very well crafted album. Excellent songwriting, good instrumental performances especially the guitars, and solid vocals and harmonies. This seems to bridge that gap between the folk rock of the 60’s and what would become the rock scene in the 70’s. I wonder if any of these guys ever did anything else?

four lead singers on songs is special

A good easy listening album

Somebody has a Neil Young fetish

Ehh album. Not too much to my taste but gotta give credit to the guitar work and the vocal harmonies.

A good album I liked Helpless and Carry On.

Loved it, will return often to this one

Crosby Stills and Nash have always felt like a 'you had to be there at the time' kind of band. Neil Young's Helpless is fantastic though.

I don't really like the big hits from this one (Teach Your Children and Our House). The rest of the album is alright. The songs where Neil Young takes the lead are my favorites, which isn't a surprise since I like his solo work.

these guys are always a good listen. i know teach your children from somewhere but i can’t place where and it will bother me for the next couple days

Here’s the thing: all four of these guys are accomplished musicians and songwriters. But maybe, the four of them together is a bit much and the end result suffers for it. This album is everything I dislike about 70s music: cheesy vocal harmonies, easy listening tunes, and country western affectations. It is only saved from one star by a couple of moments in “Almost Cut My Hair” and “Country Girl.”

I found Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young's *Deja Vu* to be more enjoyable than I expected. While most songs landed around a middle-of-the-road 3 rating for me, there were a few standout tracks that I would rate a 4 or 4.5.

Fractured with some silly lyrics in places, but I've always enjoyed this one and it was good to revisit. Until today, I'm not sure I've ever paid much attention to the latter portion of the album which turns out to be pretty rewarding. Also, Jerry Garcia played some beautiful lap steel. This group should really have been named: Crosby, Stills, Nash, Mitchell, Garcia, & a lot of Young.

Sweet.

Teach your children Woodstock Déjà Vu Our House Had some good tracks but nothing to be blown away by

I feel like I made in error in attempting to honestly review these albums. I mean - what are you supposed to say about Deja Vu? Yeah. It’s pretty good.

3 *

Carry on is mind blowing.

I have a bias here because "Our House" is the song my wife and I danced to at our wedding, but it's still a very good album!

Love, love, love the harmonies. Not every song is fantastic, but this is my kind of hippie dippy bologna. 4/5

This is kind of a strange album, in that it sounds like three or four separate albums mashed together. There’s a little bit for everyone: the classic harmonies of CSN, the counterculture anthems of “Cut My Hair” and “Woodstock”, the incisive songwriting from Neil Young, even a cameo by Jerry Garcia on the steel guitar. I personally love the harmonies of Graham Nash in songs like “Teach Your Children” and “Our House”. “Country Girl” and “Carry On” were pleasant surprises as well. Very enjoyable album overall.

What an album.. every song is awesome..a masterpiece by csny

It’s fine, lots of acoustic guitars, lots of folky voices. It’s chill, easy to listen to, I can see why people would enjoy it, but I’m not especially moved by anything on the album.

This band confuses me. Did they some of the same music both under their CSNY name and CSN and Neil Young separately when they split? Which was first? Do I even care? The answer is not really. The music is good though. Helpless is a definite Neil Young stand out. Teach the Children is great. Almost Cut my Hair, Woodstock and Carry On have way harder rock vibes than I usually associate with these names. The harmonies are beautiful, the music is well made. Not close to my favorite album or musicians but undeniably good music to listen to.

Alright

Ordinarily I probably would give this a lower rating, but I listened to it in the most perfect setting, and it enhanced the experience by so much. I listened to the majority of this album while on the train, and having this album as the soundtrack to the city turn into suburbs turn into fields turn into forest was magical. I have found my new favourite commuting album.

This is one of those albums which is so familiar that it's easy to become rather blasé about it's qualities, and whilst it does contain a couple of clunkers, the highlights do outweigh weaker numbers like 'Our House' and closing track, 'Everybody I love you'. The album starts with the storming ''Carry on', which apparently was almost an afterthought. Hard to believe that, apart from Dallas Taylor on drums, Stephen Stills is responsible for all of the instrumentation! Other highlights include a pair of Neil Young classics, 'Helpless' and 'Country girl' and Still's beautifully picked '4&20'. David Crosby contributes the excellent 'Almost cut my hair', though I prefer both the extended version with the false star and the beautiful acoustic demo version, both of which can be found on various boxsets. His title track is another highlight, though his trade-mark scat singing is not to everyone's taste. As for Graham Nash, hi 'Teach your children is nice, with some lovely pedal steel guitar, courtesy of Jerry Garcia. In my opinion, however, the band's version of Joni Mitchell's 'Woodstock' is disappointing and not a patch on the original. Nevertheless, a great album which is well worth seeking out.

Record sounds great overall. There are some good songs, thru Woodstock mainly. Overall feel is really piecemeal. It doesn’t feel like there was an overall connection, just 4 songwriters tossing out songs. I’m surprised at the lack of cohesion - Workingmans Dead and American Beauty from the same time/area hold together more. Still the vocals sound great!

Not a fan, I know people love these guys but I just can’t get behind it. Our house is probably the only song I listened to all the way through. Sometimes they sound like the hippy beach boys at times

Probably a record that needs several listens and concentrating on the lyrics. As a background record it was fine, but didn't really do anything for me.

# 225 : They've done a pretty decent job. I think Its OK, I could listen to it, but For a super group it didn't sound like the best of any of their offerings and was kind of ordinary for all the hype.

Horny for harmony

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young are Dad Rock: 201

Dang, these 4 men are all over this list. But I can’t complain! This was a wonderful listen and I appreciate the different sounds each member brings to the group.

3.5

Decent folky album

It's better than I thought, but it's not great. There are some songs that I actually like, but then there are some that sound like country and country just plain sucks.

I really enjoyed this so much. It's a definite step up from the (still very good) CSN album from the year before. Young just brings so much soul and emotion through his voice, and a hint of more of a rock sensibility. It creeps into the five star category for never really having a lull or a dip in its entire run.

alot worse than the sum of its parts, a sad thing to be I dig the frantic scratchy kind of guitar solos Young/Stills did in this group. There's some other cool sounds. mostly they get buried. Even when I was younger and hadn't soured so much on hippie bullshit, this album is a part of the Neil Young discography I only listened to once through and didn't feel like revisiting. Helpless of course is an all timer, the rest of the songs are weak. "it's never too late to give up on your dreams" in song form, without any of the humour. Neil Young sings a lot about the lost potential of the hippie years in his later albums and though he did get involved in bunch of either cool or understandably misguided stuff I can't help but cringe. Neil, you & your buds weren't gonna change the world, you got comfortable and quit before you started. music: hated. (⌐■_■)

A 2 without Neil. Just can’t muster much enthusiasm for sappy hippie-folk, ya know?

- the return of the law firm band names .. - our house <3

Another album that has the classic 70s sound.

I feel that this album represents rock transitioning from blues and folk. I didn't enjoy it much but it could be worth another listen

Mellow, chill, got a few nice grooves & tunes. Felt like inoffensive background music.

One of the best albums ever. When the "worst" song is an A- Neil Young song, you know it's something that will be discussed for decades.

Excellent jaunt back to my childhood. It was nice to hear these songs again after all these years.

Something for everyone. Harmony city. Loved the smooth guitar and comforting lyrics especially the songs I remember from my childhood. 👍

Really solid album. Lots of creative music styles from the era and great vocal harmonies. Can't believe I've never listened to this before.

Yeah hard to go wrong this album. Neil's joining took this band even higher especially with Helpless as one of his contributions. Plus you have Jerry Garcia playing pedal steel guitar on Teach! Really captured the sound of that era.

Exceptional album that showcases how great this mix of artists is/was. Songwriting, harmonies, guitar and music: it’s one of those rare moments captured on an album that is something special.

This record was played a lot when I was in high school. Not sure why. The harmonies are great. Seems like everyone was at the top of their game. I'd put this on again.

It’s hard to beat this album in the singer/songwriter category, especially since you have 4 singer/songwriters working (kinda) together. Great songs with great harmonies. And don’t sleep on the guitars in this album, they’re really good, too. Great pick

It’s a total classic!

Very pleasant, if a little bloodless. Neil Young is probably the most interesting (occasional) member of csn&y, and his songs on this album stood out a mile. All in all, I really liked it, but didn't quite love it.

I kind of wanted to hate this, given how overrepresented these guys are in this book, but after two listens, it's undeniably great. The only criticisms I have is that it doesn't really have a cohesive feel to it, and some of the songs are a little cold (or too perfect) sounding. The former makes total sense, given there were 4 brilliant songwriters competing for space, and apparently not getting on very well with eachother. I do prefer this album over their first though - the addition of Neil Young is a significant one. There's some lovely guitar playing on here, and a few truly great songs, especially Helpless, Woodstock, and Our House. I actually had no idea that the latter was CSNY, so that was a nice surprise. Really enjoyed 4+20 and Country Girl too. I don't think their version of Woodstock is better than the original, but really enjoyed their take on it. Don't like the last song at all, and found Teach Your Children a bit bland. Overall, this album feels like CSNY trying to put a cap on the hippie era and move on in 4 different directions. 8/10

A classic in my eyes. It got everything that was relevant in the 60s and transferred it to the 70s.

Great album overall. Beautiful melodies m, harmonies, and lyrics

Potentially over rating this album slightly based on experience since my dad was a big fan. They never had the fanfare of Pink Floyd or other tops groups but were doing a lot of similar things.

Lovely, vocal harmonies and some folk hits, but overall didn’t really do it for me

5.5/10

I like this album. An amalgam of the members; all different and distinct voices. Our House will always bee a favorite.

I had to re-write my thoughts on this, because I initially found a lot of it incredibly boring. However about half way through I thought it picked up a lot more and I was way more on-board with it. I went back and re-listened a bunch of times and actually it grew on me much more and I was able to appreciate it. There are some lovely songs in here as it turns out. 3.5 rounded down.

This is one of the few CSNY albums that I have a copy of, it's really great. Lots of great folk-rock/pop-rock/country style music throughout this album. Interesting instrumental decisions and great lyrics. Songs like 'Teach Your Children,' 'Woodstock,' and 'Our House' are classics. 4/5.

I do sorta like these guys more together than their solo work. I like the vocal harmonies, it makes the voices more than the sum of their parts, where in isolation I find some of their voices grating. Not terribly interesting songs on this album, but they do sound beautiful.

Pretty good album. Never understood the addition of Neil young to the group but it was cool. A little weird the way the album ends on kind of an abrupt song.

Good rock and roll.

Really enjoyed this, lyrically and musically.

Lovely Album, just great listening!

good entry, not something I'm likely to listen to again but not objectionable.

Superb, Our House is a classic

Calm and steady. I knew Our House before.

I’ve listened to this a few times and want to love it but only a few songs ever do it for me. Still solid just not killer. Rating: 3.5

Great album. Great vibe. Love this era

Our house, is a very very fine house

Iconic

Really loved this. Listened whilst walking the dog. Some brilliant singles, but more, just a beautiful album.

3.5/5 - Some nice songs

Classic album with many good songs by a true supergroup that came together organically…not contrived by some record company deal. Beautiful.

Definitely a true classic album by one of the great vocal groups. Notable songs abound including "Woodstock", "Teach Your Children", "Our House" and "Helpless". It was nice to hear this album start to finish...

Classic for a reason

Superb easygoing listening..

A life-long favourite. Great harmonies, guitar work etc. Makes me sad, though, to see David Crosby on the screen while listening

Well, I've dropped this album and picked it up several times and while it's nice, it's not resonating to me. Some beauty here but it's somehow cluttered with how the sound is. It's rather folksy. A bit of a shrill tenor - not a smooth base,l - music experience. The strings and vocals are a clear combo. Quite the signature. It's got firm harmony's, but that doesn't mean I like it. I can see tracks to like, it's just not gelling for me. I can't really think of a place or time to enjoy this. It's just a bit of a void album to me. It just sinks within me without a trace. 2 stars. Maybe three ... Nah, let's go 2.

Pretty inoffensive. At least it wasn't very long. I am not a fan of any single one of these artists, and with them together I guess it wasn't bad. But I didn't really enjoy it either.

muy lindo y tmb para dedicar unita jsjjsjs

first few tracks were good, and rest of the album was okay.

Highest selling album for all 4 - that's really impressive considering Young's catalog. And understandable - it's a great set of songs that hit the music culture at the perfect time, introducing a unique new sound totally unlike the Beatles et. al.

Мне нравится Янг и его кусочки. В целом окей. Лучшая песня - Helpless.

Great album, 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

Fantastic album, a few familiar songs. Really enjoyed this one.

Folk rock. An album filled to the brim with masterpieces that have truly stood the test of time. Folk rock is such a fickle genre, sometimes it doesn't age well. Deja Vu is one of those albums that was so masterfully put together that it will never grow old. It's full of, naturally, amazing guitar work and beautiful vocals and harmonies. I do wish the bass had a bit more presence but it serves its purpose. The album had great mixing and production, just an overall masterclass in songwriting. More can definitely be said but after only one listen it's hard to go into great detail. I typically get tired through folk rock albums, for some reason they don't always keep me engaged. But Deja Vu was a different breed, not once was I tired of what I was hearing. Will have to revisit and listen to other releases. 4.5/5

Thoughts before listening: One of the original 70s supergroups with C, S, N, and Y all having spent time in popular 60s rock bands as well as releasing their own solo music. CSNY mixes these guys' rock chops with more singer songwriter folk songs all sung with some of the best vocal harmonies of all time. I own this album and know it will be an enjoyable listen. Review: Yeah this is good stuff. When Neil Young joined up with C, S, and N he added his ragged guitar style to their folky harmonies to great results. The first CSN album has some great tracks, but also gets diluted a bit with some folkiness that comes off as too sickly sweet for its own good. Neil Young helps to keep this album on track with all 10 songs being strong. My favorites on this album are "Carry On", "Almost Cut My Hair", "Helpless", "Woodstock", and "Our House". 4-stars.

Meh

One of the best albums of the era, favorite in my house growing up

still to listen

One of my all time favorites. This was the soundtrack to my high school days. Still own the vinyl from back then.

Pretty good vibes but no stand outs

A Micaella daily mix classic

Really enjoyed this

Slightly disappointed in this, thought I might have a fiver on my hands, given what I’ve listened to from Neil Young in particular. But there was just something lacking to give it top marks. Still a lovely album though, and Our House is a banger! Simpsons: Yes

Only song I knew already was Almost Cut My Hair. Rest of the album was really good, could listen to it more. Would need more listens for the top score. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If Synergy is The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is the antonym of that. Individually they’re great but when they come together they’re just good. Our House being the exception. It wasn’t bad by any means but you just expect so much more when 4 powerhouses come together like this. It just made me want to listen to some of Neil Youngs solo work.

Surprisingly good, and better than the other CSN album for sure.

Sencillamente uno de los mejores discos de la historia de Norteamérica. La combinación de los talentos de Crosby, Stills, Nash y Young es sorprendente, y se refleja en armonías complejas, guitarras pesadas y melodías suaves e hipnotizantes que construyen un LP de poco más de 35 minutos que es sumamente difícil de olvidar. Mi pista favorita del álbum, "Our House" de Nash, es romántica, cotidiana y sublime. Recomendable y esencial para entender la evolución de la identidad americana del alt country.

This one was super enjoyable, very easy listening and I like their voices. Makes me wanna lay on the beach at sunset with my lover

Beautiful harmonies between the singers, acoustic instrumentation, and an atmosphere from the 60s. This is a great one

Sounded kind of like the Beatles but not really. Some good songs but overall I was feeling ok about the album.

felt very standard for an album on this list, was pretty good but not super duper exciting or anything. 7.5/10

I could listen to this all day long! Nice melodies and feels very grounded. 8.5/10

5/10 - There were some nice songs. I liked the old-timey feel but also they were not the most interesting all the way through. Helpless was good though.

great album, enjoyed every song I think. Quite a few that I knew already and really like

maybe my favorite album on the list thus far

A stone cold classic. I'm very familiar with all of the top tracks from this one, and none of the deep cuts really broke though. That's ultimately not a bad thing, as about half of the album is already in our collective psyche. It's great.

Really liked this album.

Agradable.

I know most of these songs well. All so good, even the ones I hadn't heard before. Hard to believe that so many hits were on one album. So folksy, rocking, just great to listen to. Five stars.

Harmonies are amazing. Great songs on this one, almost all are hits.

Quality! Funny to catch NY's Harvest and then two albums later catch this. Love the grooves on this one, especially that lead cut.

Easy listening and very enjoyable.

I very much enjoyed this album! Teach Your Children was my favorite song.

Perfect inflection point between 60’s folk/rock and what was to come in the early 70’s for rock. Everybody was for a moment in that band totally together and making a near perfect album.

this has great mix of folk, rock, folk rock (duh) and hard rock. its has the beautiful and polished helpless and the dirty bluesy almost cut my hair. all that makes to a excellent album. my newest discovery, neil young, makes a little appearance on some songs here, bursting out his rapid vicious pentatonic guitar licks and singing like an angel dressed as a farmer.

An absolute delight. Certainly a bonus to have it pop up on a Sunday!

Dat wordt weer smullen, nog eens een Neil Young productie. Een aantal nummers zijn mij meer dan bekend, maar ook een groot deel nog niet. Ik ben benieuwd. De opening Carry On is sterk, de vocalen van de groep klinken als engeltjes samen, uitstekende synergie. De plotselinge switch naar een wat psychedelische bluesriff verrast me altijd. Teach your children is een klein beetje corny, maar wel relaxt. Almost Cut My Hair is een klassiekertje, de CSNY die je verwacht op deze plaat. De Folk Rock spat er vanaf bij Helpless, maar Woodstock laat zien dat CSNY ook een ruigere kant heeft. Deja Vu kende ik nog niet. Maar het laat ook geen enorme indruk achter. Het gezellige Our House is mijn favoriet. Zelf als dakloze zou je deze vibe kunnen voelen. Ik heb dit nummer ontzettend vaak aangezet en brengt me een beetje terug naar de kindertijd. Mijn ouders hadden dit album op cd, en werd geregeld gedraaid in de auto op vakantie. De instrumenten en stemmen zit langzamerhand in mijn DNA. Country Girl en Everybody I Love You zijn goed, maar niet geweldig. Het zijn vast nummers die op je kunnen groeien, maar dat is bij CSNY zo vaak het geval. Het basisniveau is gewoon hoog, maar bij deze nummers overstijgen ze zichzelf niet. Ik waardeer het werk van CSNY enorm, maar het is lastig om deze plaat hoger te raten dan Harvest. Het is wel een dikke voldoende met best wat highlights. Rating: 8/10 Highlights: Carry On, Almost Cut My Hair, Woodstock, Our House

Dit is één van de eerste albums die mij introduceerde in 'oude mensenmuziek', nadat ik mezelf met een hoop geweld had losgerukt van de Hardstyle-scene, de geest van het verleden. Als een belangrijke pionier die de zaadjes van muziek uit dit tijdperk in mijn hersenen plantte, ben ik ''Deja Vu'' eeuwig dankbaar. Maar toch moet ik zeggen dat dit een plaat is die niet echt heel goed is meegegroeid met m'n steeds avontuurlijkere muzieksmaak, en is hij veel vaker voorbijgestreefd door tijdsgenoten dan een paar van die andere pioniers en mede-West Coasters als ''Harvest'', ''Cosmo's Factory'' en ''Surrealistic Pillow''. De eerste helft van het album tikt het niveau aan van een Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds of het eerste solo werk van Neil Young, maar het tweede kantje laat te wensen over. Het is allemaal wat tam; minder gitaarwerk dan op een Buffalo-album, minder variatie dan op een Byrds-album, en gewoon te weinig Neil Young. De samenzang is natuurlijk gelikt, maar redt sommige tracks ook net niet. De opener laat direct de intenties van de band zien, op een album waar de groepsdynamiek centraal staat. Een supergroup-anthem, met een aanstekelijke - en zelfs - funky groove waarmee de song zich onderscheidt van de rest. Daarna door naar 'Teach Your Children' wat meer classic CSNY is, een fraaie folksong met gelikte harmonieën die het lied echt naar een hoger niveau tillen. De zachtaardige souplesse wordt daarna onderbroken door 'Almost Cut My Hair', de signature song van David Crosby, en in mijn ogen het beste werk op dit album. De samenzang wordt vervangen door het samenspel van epische gitaren, en de tekst beschrijft de waan van de dag in de door politiek gepolariseerde jaren 60 in de USA als geen ander. Op 'Helpless' horen we eindelijk de magie van Neil Young, waar het album wel iets meer van kon gebruiken. Het is een geroemde song van zijn pen, en terecht. Hij is zeker 'up there' met z'n beste werk. Een sterk kwartet pakt de luisteraar helemaal in, maar de koek is daarna helaas wel op. Nouja, bijna dan. 'Our House' is natuurlijk een iconisch anthem van de wilde hippies die na een rumoerig decennium eindelijk de huiselijke rust hadden gevonden. Geinig riedeltje, niet meer dan dat. '4+20' kende ik eigenlijk niet zo goed, en viel me positief op. Stephen Stills' beste werk op het album. Maar al met al zijn de meeste hoogtepuntjes niet hoog genoeg om de luisteraar echt helemaal te verzadigen, al kwam ik al een eind met de sublieme 'Almost Cut My Hair' en 'Helpless'. Het is een beetje gezapig, mist hier en daar óf een beetje een bite, óf een beetje Neil Young. 6,5/10 Highlights: Almost Cut My Hair Helpless 4+20

De 4 stemmen van Crosby, Stills, Nash en Young zijn samen onovertroffen. De harmonieën zijn fenomenaal en zorgen voor kippenvel, ook na tientallen luistersessies. Ik snap dat CSN een band zijn begonnen toen ze ontdekten dat hun stemmen goed bij elkaar klonken. Young hieraan toevoegen bleek natuurlijk een meesterzet. Jammer dat Neil enfant terrible Young niet langer dan twee jaar in een band kan zitten waarvan hij zelf niet de baas is. Hoogtepunten van de plaat zijn Almost Cut My Hair waar de harmonieën van Carry On en Teach Your Children even plaatsmaken voor de rebellie van David Crosby (rest in peace). De overgang is daardoor perfect. Our House is een prachtige ode aan de huiselijke romantiek van Nash en Joni Mitchell. En ook al is het eigenlijk wat te zoet, het blijft één van de mooiste nummers van de plaat. Met Helpless voegt Neil één van zijn beste songs toe aan Deja Vu. Dat nummer had zo op Harvest gepast, dat 2 jaar later verscheen. After the Gold Rush verscheen in hetzelfde jaar als Deja Vu, de beste man was in topvorm. De totale lengte van de plaat is eigenlijk te kort. Zeker omdat Woodstock niet op Spotify staat. Dat is jammer. Maar ik ben al jaren van fan van deze plaat, en na vandaag is dat niet minder geworden. 9,5/10 Highlights Almost Cut My Hair Our House Helpless

Good mix of southern rock, 60s pop and a little twang og c&w. Great harmonies! Mostly okay songs, none bad but none truly great either. Helpless is basically Knockin’ on heaven’s door with different lyrics.

Best song - Teach Your Children

Great

One of the best. I wore it out back in the day. Would still play it and love it!

Too bland for me.

#171. It's pretty good. I like it overall, but at the same time it's not really anything special. 3/5: decent Song added to playlist: Our House I've created a playlist on Spotify that consists of the best and/or my favorite song from each of the albums in this book.

Our house is a very, very, very fine house With two cats in the yard Life used to be so hard Now everything is easy 'cause of you 5.5

This was the very first album I ever bought. (Yes, I'm *that* old.) The music is timeless, and the message is more relevant than ever.

Un album solid de anii 70 cu sunetul tipic de Woodstock. E fain, dar nu neapărat genul meu.

Growing up hearing CSNY, I dismissed them as lame, hippie music. Now that I'm older, I can appreciate them more, but not all of it. I like Almost Cut My Hair, Woodstock, and Our House. Some of the other stuff is still kind of lame.

I love CSNY harmonic music. I aporeciate the political content of DEJA VU, but didn't love the music

Slightly better than average Cracker Barrel music.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's Déjà Vu isn't just a landmark album, it's a snapshot of a cultural moment. Here, we delve into the masterpiece, exploring its intricate lyrics, electrifying music, and the creative tension that birthed it. Lyrics: Poetry with a Folk Heart Déjà Vu's lyrical tapestry is rich and diverse. Stephen Stills' contributions like "Carry On" and "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" are introspective, grappling with love's complexities. Neil Young's "Ohio" delivers a powerful indictment of the Kent State shootings, showcasing his blunt, poetic style. David Crosby's "Woodstock" captures the fading idealism of the counterculture movement. Graham Nash's "Teach Your Children" offers a hopeful plea for social change. The lyrics are rarely overtly political, but a sense of disillusionment with the Vietnam War and social unrest permeates the album. Lines like "We are stardust, we are golden, and we are billion year old carbon" ("Carry On") capture the yearning for meaning amidst chaos. Music: Folk, Rock, and Harmony in Perfect Balance Musically, Déjà Vu is a masterful blend of folk and rock. Stills' soaring electric guitars intertwine with Crosby, Nash, and Young's acoustic sensibilities. Tracks like "Teach Your Children" and "Carry On" showcase their unparalleled vocal harmonies, a cornerstone of the CSNY sound. The use of session musicians like drummer Dallas Taylor adds a rock & roll backbone, evident on tracks like "Wooden Ships." "Almost Cut My Hair" boasts a driving rhythm and Neil Young's trademark harmonica, a sound that became synonymous with the era. Production: Capturing the Moment Produced by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young alongside Bill Szymczyk, Déjà Vu is stripped-down and raw. The focus remains on the songwriting and vocals. While not sonically adventurous, the production perfectly complements the emotional intensity of the music. Themes: A Counterculture Crossroads Déjà Vu pulsates with themes of love, loss, societal disillusionment, and a yearning for change. The title track itself explores a sense of cyclical experience, reflecting the Vietnam War's repetitive brutality and the fading optimism of the counterculture. Songs like "Teach Your Children" and "Ohio" are calls for social change, while others like "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" delve into the complexities of personal relationships. The album captures a generation grappling with a changing world. Influence: A Legacy of Harmony and Social Commentary Déjà Vu remains a cornerstone of folk-rock. Its influence can be heard in artists like Tom Petty, Fleet Foxes, and Mumford & Sons. The album's focus on vocal harmonies and introspective lyrics continues to inspire generations of musicians. Furthermore, Déjà Vu's social commentary on war and social issues resonates today. Songs like "Ohio" remain powerful reminders of the fight for justice. Pros and Cons: A Timeless Masterpiece with Flaws Déjà Vu isn't flawless. Some argue that Side Two lacks the overall strength of Side One. Also, the internal friction between the band members, well-documented, can be felt in the occasional lack of cohesiveness. However, the album's strengths far outweigh its weaknesses. The lyrical depth, musical brilliance, and iconic harmonies elevate Déjà Vu to a timeless classic. It's a testament to the power of collaboration, even in the face of creative tension. Conclusion Déjà Vu is not just an album; it's a cultural touchstone. It captures the hopes and anxieties of a generation, wrapped in unforgettable music. Its legacy rests on the perfect blend of folk and rock, powerful songwriting, and the unparalleled vocal harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Despite minor flaws, Déjà Vu remains a masterpiece, a testament to the enduring power of music.

The already-acclaimed CSN welcome the incredibly gifted Neil Young: two great tastes that taste great together. Firing on all cylinders.

i saw the memories i never had in the dreams i wanted to live. no difference between the distance between me and them, and between heaven and hell. or purgatory, at least. i saw the most demented thoughts buried just beneath the surface, and, as the rain pitter pattered over the grass, the thunder glanced above it, sure that it will never strike. my heart still stopped that day. i saw the least repented outlaws and their violent crimes in the pictures i painted inside my head, their eyes rotten and their will unjust. i didnt want to stay, yet here i am. i saw the inmortal remains of my mothers orbiting around my brain. i extended my arms upwards, like antennas to the sky, but their voices never reached so far. i saw the daughter i wanted to be, but my voice didnt reach so far.

Excellent song writing. Some folk, some southern rock, some prog rock, some pop.

I liked the harmonies and the chilled out country twang.

rock folk no NNN

The early 70s must have been a difficult time for the flower power generation - the optimism of Woodstock giving way to the realities of settling down, raising children and (gasp!) maybe even getting a hair cut. This is an entertaining collection of folk rock songs, with the highlight probably being their version of Joni Mitchell’s Woodstock. Not entirely sure why the cover photo has them looking like something from the 1870s though.

Really good folk rock here. The title is well found though (in the litteral sense in French, rehash), as it is not particularly original. But nice to listen to.

Mostly harmless.

From their debut album, they’ve added both an additional member (Neil Young) and an additional star. 5/5

The good thing about this album is that it’s very short

Iconic folk-rock record with some very memorable songs of the Woodstock era. A couple of fluff songs with less substance, but overall a very good listen.

Ég var svo leiður við að hlusta á þessa plötu. Ekki af því að hún var slæm heldur af því að höfundaréttur kom í veg fyrir að ég gæti hlustað á alla plötuna. Ég fékk bara að hlusta á 7 lög. Ef ég hefði fengið að hlusta á allt hefði ég gefið henni 5 stjörnur en hún fær smá skammir fyrir höfundaréttarleiðindi

I just want to preface this review by saying I was conceived before a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young concert, so I think I’m pretty qualified to speak on this album. This is one of those supergroup bands that I don’t think you can really deny the excellence of. This is a total powerhouse of incredibly talented musicians that were as good as it got in their time. I had a moment when listening to Helpless, where I heard the singer’s voice, and thought, “Why does this sound so familiar to me?” And then I realize the Young is short for Neil Young, and everything made sense. This album not only boosted the careers of everyone in the band, but also stands as the best selling album across all of their careers. And for good reason. Because this is a classic. A revolutionary album of its genre. And a collective effort from some of the strongest songwriters of the 20th century. I don’t know if I have ever heard vocal harmonies on a level like this, except for maybe the obvious pick with The Beatles. Basically take any great traditional Neil Young album, and throw like 4 other members on top of it. This is just consistently a super warm and refreshing set of country folk songs. If you are at all a fan of this era of country music, or really just Neil Young, listen to this. Rating: 8/10

Obviously a great collection of classic songs in this album. Finally got to match the songs, I've heard on the radio many years ago, and their title. A couple songs kinda dragged a bit. Ha! What do I know?

Again, easy!

The harmonies are excellent. Really good album. However, the songwriting on a good part of this album just wasn't for me. It's a good album still, but not what it could be.

Defines mediocre

LOVED!

Nothing wrong with it, just not my style. I like Young's solo stuff a lot better.

favourite: carry on, woodstock, deja vu, country girl least favourite: 4 + 20 sucks that half the album isn't on spotify, they're some of the best tracks this album is great mayb 8/10

All time classic and only 21 minutes long.

Lekkah

Again, Neil Young. His voice probably does harmonize well with this group, and the others, for ME, have appealing voices. So it is a step better overall than Young's titled album. However, it still features his voice often enough for me to find it a bit of a grind at times. I know that I am stepping on the toes of those that worship at the throne of Neil Young. I have my bands and their detractors as well. But it doesn't invalidate my feelings, nor theirs by me choosing a line. I really like Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Not so much Young. It is what it is...

Positive and pastoral.

Some great classics here that are still some favorites of mine - Carry On, Teach Your Children Well, Our House. I think there were some songs missing from the Spotify version as it only had 6 songs. Almost Cut My Hair had some great guitar and overall good sound. Deja Vu was my least favorite. 4+20 was ok. Overall a 4.

Meh... Got bored quickly

Folk-rock setentero. Un pelín por encima del 3...

Of course I've heard quite a few of these songs a million times, but have never actually paid attention to them. They've been part of the background radiation of life since before I was born, and this was my parents' music, so I didn't really have or want a relationship with it. Now that I'm deliberately listening to it, it's clear to understand why these songs were so important to so many people. There's a real sense of something greater than the sum of its parts happening here...some of these songs have a quality that feels somehow knowing and eternal. Somehow I still struggle with Neil Young, though. I just flat-out don't like his voice. To me, his more solo moments are by far the least interesting, most annoying parts of the album. I also really love the guitar-centered nature of these songs. I miss music that's made by guitars that aren't being piped through layer after layer of modern processing. The wall of voices thing starts to feel kind of cloying by the end of the album to me, but it's all executed really well. I'll probably return to some of this album in the future.

I wouldn't call myself a CSN&Y fan, but I really enjoyed this album and can see why they were such a big deal at the time

One of the best albums of the 70s. The harmonies are incredible.

Agradable.

Music that spoke for the movement

Amazing rhythms & feels

A great quarter life crisis album.

one of the best folk American albums ever. great start to this process

Perfect.

One of the best albums ever

I LOVE CSNY. our house❤️

Nice listem

Reminds me of elementary school and getting picked up by my mom.

It was OK. Some of it reminded me of Simon and garfunkle, but mostly more upbeat. I was surprised by some of the counter culture sentiment while I should already associate the sound this generation mostly sold out so the sound is ironically associated with a generation that figured it out then collectively lobotomized themselves

I wonder if there is such a thing as too much talent in one album. This collection sounds really unfocused and I would bet changes drastically based on who was driving on the song. As a result, I really like parts of this album, other songs just don't hit for me. I also refuse to believe that this was part of the 60s counter culture when the hardest song on this album is one of them whining about not cutting his hair.

Classic. 4

There are some very strong classics on this album. I didn't even realize "Our House" was on here, until I listened through it. The variety of the folk voices among the four songwriters is very impressive, and the songs are pretty much as strong as they could be for that time and style of music.

I'm giving this 2 stars because I did not go into this album with an open mind. Everything I have heard from CSNY grates my teeth and I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it's simply because my frame of reference is mostly David Crosby being a water logged crank. Maybe it's because I have a particularly jaundiced view on super groups, suspecting them of being nothing more than ego stroking vanity projects. Mostly I just don't think there's anything they do particularly well that other bands don't do better. Simon and Garfunkle have better harmonies, better songwriting, more range, and have more fun. And such meager portions! 21 minutes is not an album. It's an LP. That's not necessarily a bad thing as 20 killer minutes is much better than 40-60 mediocre minutes. But for an album that regularly shows up north of #250 on best of lists, this feels under-developed. That goes doubly so when you consider the ambitious subject matter. They take on some bold subject matter such as loneliness, generational divide, carrying on but don't offer much in the way of insight. They talk of fortunes, fables, lovers and ladies all very lofty, but keep it firmly in the realm of LOVE. Like I said, I'm never going to be fair to CSNY. It took me long enough to come around on the Y and I don't see the same happening for the C any time soon. There's 3 songs off of here that have become legendary and they're not for me. They're nice sentiments, they're well delivered, but I could go the rest of my life never hearing them and be cool with it. It's not really fair to give this a 1 star. It's probably closer to a weak 3, but I I just do not like this project

3.5! I like the sonic sound of CSNY, might have hit a bit harder if I hadn’t gotten the Crosby solo album already.

Have always loved this one.

Carry On is a fantastic song out of the gate. Love the vocal harmonization and the mixing of the rhythm guitar into the left channel with electric in the right. And the abrupt little psych-infused breakdown complete with keys in the middle. Almost Cut My Hair plays like a Neil Young song; mainly because of the unmistakable guitar tone. Soulful jam it is. Woodstock is the song I know this album for predominantly -- another Young led guitar jam. Back half of the album pales in comparison to the first. No doubt CSNY > CSN, but for me this is a soft 4.

Half way through and man this album is such a banger. I don't think I have ever listened to it straight through. David Crosby singing Almost Cut My Hair is sick. Helpless is such a great song. Pretty damn powerful and I kind of needed it today. Neil Young has one of those voices I can listen to anytime. Our house is a jam. Knew that song before listening and like it a lot. These guys just kill it on vocals and instrumental. I could listen to this album anytime.

Is this the shortest album we have had? 21 minutes is shorter than a TV episode. Peaceful tunes with a good harmony between the boys. Another strong 3 album, but nothing spectacular to warrant a 4.

I have always liked the multiple singers in these bands whether Young is there or not. Fine enough album with no high or low points really it's kind of just all good to me.

This was an awesome listen while grocery shopping. I’ve never really listened to these guys thinking psychedelia but I heard a bunch in this. Extremely pleasant with their harmonies as well I don’t think there’s anyone better maybe save Lennon/McCartney. Can’t wait to give this one a listen again. High af 4

There are times I really connect with this, and others where it feels like they are trying too hard - too many harmonies etc. There are some great songs, but overall doesn't do enough to keep me wanting more.

It’s ok. Chill music

Despite the album title and release date over 50 years ago, we haven’t heard this one before. Different band members writing and taking lead gives the album a variety sounds and songs. Eight of the ten songs are well known classics making it seem like a greatest hits collection. Teach Your Children and Almost Cut My Hair are the stars, but all the songs are good and the album flow is smooth. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience! (3.6*s)

I was already intimately familiar and this is one of the best albums of all time. The songs, the harmonies, and everything about this album is excellent. Each member's voice is unique and they all bring something different to the table, and yet the most magic is made when they harmonize. I came in knowing how good this album is and it holds up with each and every listen.

CSNY Deja Vu 72.87 Carry On(77) Teach Your Children(74) Almost Cut My Hair(80) Helpless(81) Woodstock(67) Deja Vu(74) Our House(77) 4+20(50) Country Girl(67) Everybody I Love You(76)

OG supergroup stuff. On their own they are heavy-hitters, on this album they come together to kill it. CPturws the sound of superstars laying down the sound of a scene and an era. Everybody brings great songwriting and style. Young only really shows up on two, but Country Girl is an epic.

I'm definitely way more of a Y guy than CSN, but other than the immortal "Helpless", Young's contributions here aren't all that strong. Nash's numbers are some of the pleasantly gentle tunes ever put down, Croz puts on his cape and Stills is, eh, whatever. In the end, the Joni cover carries the day.

Great album, great band. Which they would have stayed together longer. Great sound from the 70’s.

This is an amazing album. I grew up with it. It's one of my favorites. The harmonies, the guitar, the complexity of some of the songs, and the simplicity of others. It's all so magical.

It's nice to have politically angry albums that sound as chilled as this. Loved it.

Nice harmonies, a little dated, and a little short, nothing really blew me away

Fun poppy folky songs. Biggest complaint is the production makes the music feel far away if that makes sense. Almost cut my hair is a banger. I’ve almost cut my long hair multiple times in the last 7 years of having long hair and I have been happy that I never cut it and have let my freak flag fly all this time.

I enjoy this record! To me, this is a transitory record. Its taking that folk acoustic country roots and mixing it with psych rock and blues. However, I feel like they never quite get it there with the rock songs. Even when they're really going for it on songs like Woodstock and Country Girl. They're really good, and I think they inspired other artists to do it better. The album is strongest for me, on songs like Our House , Teach Your Children and Helpless. Which are obviously the most famous ones, but they're the most grounded and polished. I really do love this band and this record, but its not my favorite from the era.

A pretty perfect album. Probably gonna reach for CSN or any number of NY albums before this though.

This album feels like a warm, familiar embrace. It's a classic through and through, instantly recognizable as a product of its era yet possessing a timeless appeal. The music is undeniably engaging, drawing you in with its rhythms and heartfelt melodies. Every track exudes a joy and vitality that represents the best of its time. Sure, there might be more technically impressive or groundbreaking albums out there, but few match the sheer, unadulterated enjoyment this one still provides.

5+!

This is a phenomenal album - arguably the greatest harmony group of all time. They don't disappoint on this album the whole way through and everyone contributes to the effort with their own songs. Much has been said about this album and I can't add anything else new. Perfect. Favorite tracks: all of them!

I said in a review of Neil Young's Tonight's the Night that the Woodstock sound occupies a tragically outsized place of honor in the rock and roll zeitgeist. This album may be 50% of the reason why. Which is a reminder that it's always the music that matters, not the particular genre/sound. This album is amazing start (almost) to finish. Gorgeous melodies, performances, lyrically inspired.

Not a fine house, but a fine album. 4.

A great record with some great hits. I didn't get as many listens as I would have liked but this has some really excellent musicianship and is recorded really well.

Not for me but I appreciate what they did for music

6/10 Highlights: Almost Cut My Hair

I've never listened to CSNY before, although I've heard of them. Thouroughly enjoyable. Give it a go!!

Not bad, easy listening

Incredible album, a couple of well known tracks but it's far too short.

Classique. Almost Cut My Hair feels different now bald..

Really good album and very funky. Missing like half of the song bc the co creator didnt want it 9/10. Our house is a great song.

Not my preferred genre but solid album, easy-listening 70's folk / classic rock. Bonus for neil young. 3/5

Listened on spotify, missed the young heavy ones sadly. but overall great!

I quite liked it, easy to listen to and very pleasant to the ear. I'm a folk rock listener, so it wasn't a tedious or boring listen. I would hear it back and specifically when I'm doing things, as a great way to pass the time.

Liked the overall vibe. Could listen to it again for sure.

Agradable.

Some all time classics, including Helpless and Woodstock. Side 1 is epic, Side 2 good but not quite up to the same standard.

Classic - Wonderful - Memorable

Until now, I didn't know So Far was a compilation album, and after listening to this album that it pulls from, it makes sense. Teach Your Children Well, Helpless, and Woodstock are timeless, but so much of the rest of this album has not aged well IMO.

Refreshing, chill.

Great album!

Decent Album

I enjoyed this album a alot. Good classic folky songs. Teach your children is always a bop

Deja vu, our house, and country girl are all pretty good. not gonna overly hate, this music isnt for me but there are for sure some moments in this I enjoyed

Incredibly likable. I hadn’t expected to enjoy it quite so much as I did

Very welcome album. Classic sound, but there are a few songs I could live without

Fantastic album. Heartfelt and entertaining songs. Love every song on the album

What a classic album. All of the songs have their merit and unique sound.

super easy listen, got better each time 4.5

Couldn't listen to the whole thing on Spotify, but yeah c'mon, 5/5. Amazing harmonies. Catchy. Classic.

I have always wanted to sit down and listen to CSNY. These guys are legendary. This is a really freaking great album
