Carry On // Almost Cut My Hair // Our House // 3.5/5
Love this album!
classic. most not available on spotify, though.
It’s really almost a perfect album.
Wonderful harmonic blending with classic songs that bore me in succession. Hearing one of these songs on the radio pulls me in. Hearing the full album did not enhance my appreciation though.
What I imagine when I think of a 70s hippie concert. The music sounded pretty “feel-good.” Very chill and actually played on my mood.
This is a great album, I knew all of these songs and didn't realize they were all on the same one. Every track is listenable with Our House being the weakest (however, still good as it shows their range and works on this set). Neil's voice is so good with the rest of the band, I of course like them better when he was involved. Very solid 3.5.
This is a great one. Every song is listenable and showcases the band members as individuals and the range of the band as a whole. Def a supergroup of its time. Spun it on a rainy Saturday...perfect. Love the faux leather album gatefold too.
Really strong album from start to finish. Each band member brings their own style to the table and all 4 of them work. Relatively short and sweet with no filler in between. This album deserves a lot of respect it is given. 4 stars
A solid 4. Don’t like the cheesy singles (Our House & Teach Your Children). The rest of it is great. ‘Almost Cut My Hair’ is the stand out track - that bluesy rock that’s right up my street with a superb guitar solo. Love it 🤘🏻
Better than I thought it would be, probably because it wasn't as 'Country' as I thought it would be. It was also helped by NY having to share the burden of singing with the other 3. Some really good tunes on here, so it gets a high 2.
I really enjoyed the blend of different sounds within tracks here, not just between them. There's a variety of instrumentation, and rhythms and melodies often change without tipping their hand. The rotating lead vocal approach also pairs nicely with the differences in track timbre, catering to the lead's strengths each time. Nearly every track has an intriguing tale behind it. Listened to: at home, on vinyl. Favorite tracks: Almost Cut My Hair, Teach Your Children
Hippy
Great (half the tracks missing on spotify, thanks neil young)
Prog rockia. Tulee Yes tosi vahvasti mieleen. Our House oli taas unohdettu klassikko :D Neil Young oli tässä yhtyeessä ja muutkin oli varmasti tuttuja. Parhaat: Our House, Teach Your Children
Annoying that Spotify would not let me listen to half the tracks but this is a classic
💦
Definitive era rock album with glorious vocal harmony. So many hits. Not sure why Spotify won't let me listen to half of them. the CAAARRRYYY ONNNNNNN break is magical. "Woodstock" and "Our House" are hippie bangers and "Teach your children" is just classic.
Those hippies could jam. Timeless classic right here. Side note, only half of the album is available on Spotify. How does that even happen?
Alright, but really short.
Quite nice. Not my favorite of theirs (looking at you "almost cut my hair") but still good
I get that some of you will dismiss this record because all the “60’s hippie” trappings that come along with it …. but ….. you just can’t fuck with the musicianship, the writing and certainly not the singing on this record. The arrangements and production are perfect. Do yourselves a favor and listen to this on a real sound system. Fuck Spotify and YouTube (good lord what are you doing?). A 5 for sure that would be a 10 if the scale went that high (11, in fact, for all the Neil haters out there).
I think this is a great example of 70's folk. It was hard without the Young songs, but I was able to track them down on Youtube.
Känns som att gå tillbaka 15 år i tiden när man behöver lyssna på MP3-filer från ett USB. Tycker att det påminner lite om Bob Dylan bitvis, på något sätt. Lite väl segt stundtals, speciellt mot slutet. Prel. 3 / 5
• Albumomslaget känns så gammalt, både fotot som inte hade varit malplacerad i Red Dead 2 (får lite déjà vu att jag sätt en liknande bild på gänget från RDR2), samt typografin och de generella vibbarna. Undra om det kändes lika föråldrat 1970. Gullig hund • Det bildas inte lika många supergrupper nuförtiden, lite synd • Hela albumet finns inte på Spotify :( => Hannes får ladda ner albumet till ett USB-minne och stoppa in i musiksystemet • Beach Boys med Jimi Hendrix gitarr • Almost Cut My Hair låter som nått jag inte kan komma på, men det är bra • Musiken passar till samma atmosfär som Bob Dylan, om än lite ledsnare • Vet inte hur mycket Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young jag lyssnat på, men musikaliskt är det inte vad jag helt förväntade mig: mer folkigt, mer Beatles & Beach Boys Betyg: På samma sätt som Bob Dylans Bringing It All Back Home är albumets betyg beroende på vilket humör man är i; pendlar mellan 3 och 4 => 3/5
Gick ju inte lyssna hela albumet på Spotify. Men ändå helt okej country/folk. Mysiga låtar med bra budskap
I like the quartet style. Wish it was longer.
Good country/blues or whatever it is considered.
What a sound
Cool album, unfortunately not every song is available on Spotify
Love this.
Spotify didn't have all the tracks due to licensing disputes against the platform. Bummer.
Need some more attentive listening of this again. Harmonies, song evolutions are wild. I'll listen more for lyrics. Favorite on first listen was the joni mitchell woodstock cover. always liked our house, helpless. Almost cut my hair and 4+20 were favorite new discoveries.
I prefer the first album without Young but this is pretty fantastic too.
This one is much, MUCH more my speed. I don't even know what to write, this album just makes me feel good. 5*
Chill vibes with some smooth guitar. An enjoyable listen with fun hippy vibes.
pretty good!
Not the worst, not the best.
Almost cut my hair feels like somebody just got high and wrote down the first things that came to their mind, then they wrote music behind it. I like the mix between electric guitar solos and folksy wholesome music, but it also made it so I couldn’t figure out the identity of the group. Four-part harmony? Deja Vu is super catchy. In general I liked the songs, but nothing to set it apart from other decent albums.
Like this album (or at least what I could listen to) I will keep it short and sweet. I’m always a fan of the oldies but as a wise philosopher DD Freer once said, since the advent of modern music, it just didn’t resonate with me enough to get my music juices goin (I added that last bit but u know what I mean)
Listened to it all the way through at once on YouTube. I thought it was fine. Definitely appeared older and was not as timeless as some of the other older albums on here. I thought it was easy listening but not specifically compelling.
A really enjoyable album to listen to. You can tell that the music is shifting between the sounds of the 60s and heading into the 70s. The songwriting is incredible and so are the harmonies. The instrumental sections show off each artist’s skill. The album has a ton of variety and most of the songs stand out from one another. Top tracks in my opinion are Teach Your Children, Helpless, Deja Vu, Our House, and Country Girl. A solid three and I’d hear arguments for a four.
Did you know that there's a deluxe edition of this album that is over 3 hours long? Crosby: Alright guys. The album is sounding great, but we still need to come up with a band name. I was thinking "Crosby and the Crew". Stills: Really?! Cause I was thinking something along the line of "Stills and Salty Sailors" Nash: I'm not going to be a sailor. How about "Nash and the Nomads"? Young: We could go by "Neil and his Young Boys".......... Nash: Screw it. We can just go by all of our names. Who's going to be the lead singer? Stills: Why don't we all sing the whole song at the same time? Crosby: I wrote a song about getting a haircut. Do you guys want to sing it with me?! Stills: On second thought, why don't you solo that one buddy. This has been a NPR production of "Deja vu". If you enjoyed what you just heard, stick around for an additional 2.5 hours of alternate version of the same songs.
Classic album great music
Second greatest vocal harmonics in rock behind the eagles. Forgot our house is on here. More dynamic songwriting than I remember. Last album: Deep Purple. If you hang out around Emma’s dad enough you’ll hear Deep Purple. Today’s album: CSN&Y. If you hang out around my dad enough you’ll hear CSN&Y.
Love this album
!!
Nice
Meh. Okay.
Zanimljivo, isto nemam neki poseban komentar
Joe Walsh, the crown prince of rock and roll, joined the Eagles after they scored number 1 albums and released a greatest hits album. Dennis Rodman, a hated rival for the Detroit Pistons, somehow worked a deal to land with Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls. What fascinates me about both of these transactions is that both the Eagles and Bulls had scored the ultimate heights before making these moves, both of which were somewhat head scratching at the time. In a way, both moves would be like Hilary Clinton suddenly deciding to work for Trump's campaign. And Crosby, Stills and Nash started this whole trend of adding a wild card to the mix and therefore upping the ante. You could argue that CSN didn't need Neil Young - or that Old Neil didn't need them. Yet somehow it worked even better. There's no Suite: Judy Blue Eyes here, but you get Carry On, Neil's brilliant Helpless, Our House and Crosby's hippie lament Almost Cut My Hair. And they got too big for Neil's taste. He'd join them sporadically over the following years (re: Whenever Neil felt like it) in between classic solo albums. Neil was always better without these West Coast elitists. But CSN was never as good without him.
I am a big fan of folk type music and this gives me a country, folk, rock vibe so overall I dig it. It also so reflective and in a weird way nostalgic. I dug it
Our house +++++ vale da sola tutto il disco
Wow, I enjoyed that far more than I anticipated. I didn't realize all those classics were from one album; the harmonizing is terrific.
Yet another CSNY release, to go along with the seemingly dozens that we've already had. More of the same stuff; not super exciting, but a couple of good songs on it. In this case they are "Almost Cut My Hair" and "Helpless".
I'll admit I am not as familiar with this as I should be, but it is one of those classic albums of it's era that holds up very well today. In my opinion it was always clear Neil Young was the star and he proved it when he went out on his own. The others to have some real gems in their discography, but Young has the most consistent ones. Either way, this is great 60s rock. 8.3/10
Very cool
It's funky, I like it. The songs all sounded the same though which I'm not too big a fan of, though half of the album wasn't available on Spotify which could change things. I'll probably revisit another day to listen to the rest.
1st Album with Neil Young
Almost cut my hair and our house are the two things saving this album from a worse fate. A few of the songs aren't available on Spotify which was annoying but yk that's life. The less country-esque songs were where this album shines tbh. But the lows were too low to rate it higher. 3 stars
Much of the album not available on Spotify, but the tracks on there were good.
One of my all time favorites!
Overall this isn't so much my vibe. The musicality is great. I love the different songwriters and voices & how they blend into such rich harmonies. Normally this would be a 3 for me but this band is sooooo groovy they get extra groovy points to push it up to a 4. Woodstock is probably my favorite song on this album. Let your freak flag fly!
Love the flower child era vibes. Teach Your Children is a true classic. This record really takes you back in time to life during the Vietnam War, and the profound impact it had on society.
Oldies!
Youtube comments for every song Carry on/Questions: "The surgeons in the delivery room were jamming to this when my baby boy was born. I’ll never forget as Soon as they pulled him from my body the phrase 'Carry on' rang out into the room and then he let out a healthy cry. Surreal and enlightening." Teach your children: " I used to listen to this sitting on the guard bunkers in Vietnam looking out to the dark skies and wonder what this song was about. I finally get it 50 years later." Almost cut my hair: "My dad died this august...He wore his hair long in the 60s and 70s when his parents hated it, and when his older brothers were in Vietnam. He blasted this song when he felt down, as a kid it scared me. Now I crank this song up and sob. I love you dad, I miss you so much." Helpless: "I grew up in Northern Ontario. Me and my long haired friends singing our hearts out to the sky over Lake Superior. It still reduces me to tears of joy thinking about it." Woodstock: "By the time I got the courage top play this song in front of my father, I felt as if -- I were a half a million strong." Deja vu: "This is the first piece of music I ever owned, My brother bought me this cassette for Christmas when I was 12. That was 1970. Thank you.." Our House: "At 85, I think this is one of the most beautiful love songs I have ever heard, as relevant to my wife now as it was sixty years ago." 4+20: "'I embrace the many colored-beast"; how many times I've fought to come out of a bad dream thinking those words..: Country Girl: " It is both wonderful and terrible at the same time to remember those days, but the music keeps me alive. When I am long gone this album will show the future that we were lucky beyond belief to witness this." Everybody I love you: "My first travel in Greece, high school 1979, and a lot of friends then missed...that's life, but it was wonderful"
I only recognized our house but the whole album felt very familiar
Not a bad, old-school, hippie jam. Some neat tracks on here, and some cool instrumentation. A lot falls a little boring and mellow for me, but that's more personal preference. I think it's a talented group of guys. Fav tracks: 4 + 20, Carry On, Woodstock
Love this album! Thanks for bringing it back to my attention.
Not a bad track here. Unparalleled harmonies. Garcia on pedal steel!
Awesome album. New songs I hadnt heard, other songs I had forgotten about- all bangers. Woodstock has been in my head all weekend.
Not my favorite CSN album but solid
This isn't available in its entirety on Spotify. Fortunately, I was able to find it through other means. Excellent. Oddly enough, the songs Neil Young sang are my least favorite.
Great album!
Lots of songs on here that I know, but didn’t realize they were by this band. I like the harmonies, worth revisiting to sing along with especially in the summer with the windows rolled down.
On its own, I’d say that this just another classic dad rock album that I’m not super interested in but there are worse ways to spend 40 minutes. Unfortunately, probs because of Neil young, 4 songs were missing and there was no way I was gonna try to find them somewhere else off Spotify so this album gets a maliciously indifferent review from me instead of an aloof one.
I liked some of the hits on this album, but some of the deeper tracks were awful and boring.
I recognized several songs from this album and most-enjoyed those I’d never heard. Almost Cut My Hair is my new ode to my husband’s mullet.
Escucha amena, rock baládico, a veces country. Me gusta. Tiene un cierto tinte beatle. Algunas canciones del disco no están disponibles en spotify asi que mi escucha ha sido limitada.
Classic. Brilliant Harmonies.
super m of the 1970s
Me ha encantado es súper guay
"teach your children" is beautiful af
Meh
Better than okay.
Whoa, the guitar and bass chops on this record. Also, the overall vibe is some rock and roll hippie shit that I'm very much here for.
хороший. наконец-то нашла оригинал аур хаус И нашла у кого Дилан списал нокин он хевенз дор (никто не догадался чувак)
I love this group and the songs on this album. easy win.
Great band
Cool album, but a little dated for my taste. The guitar solos were great though, and I was definitely a fan of the folksy sound. It was cool seeing that this album came out in 1970, while Fleetwood Mac's Rumours came out in 1977. The influence this sound has on Fleetwood Mac is pretty clear right of the get go, and this album was certainly easy to listen to. Only song I had already heard from this was: Teach Your Children as sung by Michael Scott on the office
I love this album and am brought back to my teenage years at the sound of the first track Carry On. I enjoy and remember a lot of the lyrics. Unfortunately this album on 1001 Albums and on Spotify is missing 4 essential tracks: Helpless, Woodstock, Country Girl and Everybody I Love You. Anyone who's never heard this album is missing out if they can't hear those 4 songs. This is classic 60-70's folk/rock, singer/songwriter bands with the iconic foursome of David Crosby, Steven Still, Graham Nash and Neil Young who all went on to have successful solo careers. Fantastic album.
Ei sentään mitään räppiä
Hajutonta ja mautonta vanhaa rokkia, ei innosta.
Love it
Oh gosh I grew up listening to this album. It’s beautiful.
whole album wasn't available to stream on Spotify.
A parte del tema que da título al disco, destacan los dos únicos temas en los que el grupo funciona como tal: "Carry On" y "Woodstock". El álbum, canto del cisne del grupo que apenas aguantó su grabación unido, es sin embargo de una solidez auténtica. Folk Rock de nivel.
A very nice album I like some of the songs I had not heard before like Almost Cut My Hair and Everybody I love you. Some of the bigger hits I know are important I guess but I I also find them a bit irritating.
Not my favorite CSNY album.
Not much different then the last album.
Just a very comforting album. I do love me some Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
Not all of it is to my taste but it's hard to deny the achievement of this album. The first side: "Carry On", "Teach Your Children", "Almost Cut My Hair", "Helpless", and "Woodstock" would be most bands greatest hits album. The songwriting credits, in order, of Stills, Nash, Crosby, Young, and then Joni Mitchell really illustrate the collection of individuals that was this band. Each of the first four tracks sounds exactly as it on four solo projects that the other sat in on. Only when they get to the Joni Mitchell track do they actually sound like a band. I mean that as no slight. They were a "supergroup", and the democracy displayed was too incredible to last. The second side of the album proceeded in the same vein, one from each, and a Stills & Young collaboration to close it out. The second side
Pretty standard CSNY stuff. Never my favorite, never offensive
A classic!
This is in my collection from my wife Alison who had a couple of copies!
Call cohesive album with all the players contributing at least one song that has a distinct feel
A true classic. ❤️
All-time favorite album. Classic tunes of the time by 4 very talented independent artists!
Sounds like Eagles to me. Very relaxing & feel good music!

Excelente
First album of my 1001 album challenge. Listened at work so somewhat distracted. Really good album overall, I like the different vocalists. Nice harmonies too. A couple songs didn't resonate, but also some classics that I didn't necessarily know were this band. Highlights for me were Carry On and Our House. Good album. thought about 4 stars, but I'm setting the standards high here as I start my challenge, and there were a few songs that didn't really resonate with me, so landed on 3.
Group vocals and harmonies are high caliber, mostly soothing but sometimes a little too much. Sometimes I just want to hear a single vocalist own a melody by himself. But the guitar work and songwriting is stellar. Great music for headphones (layers) and also just for vibes and background jamming while working or picking up around the house. A good example of a transitional record from the psychedelia of the 60s and into the guitar rock of the 70s. A great mix of various styles. Highlights: Country Girl, Woodstock, Our House, Teach Your Children
CSNY’s Deja Vu - well this will be a trip. New one for me. I’m sure I’ve heard Woodstock, otherwise this one’s outside my zone this one. Not a huge fan of country rock. Let’s see what this has got: Carry On - oh yeah, I know this one. This is a great song. 5/5 Teach Your Children - another famous one. Tend to be the sound I think of when I think of CSNY. Pretty good, very memorable. 3/5 Almost Cut My Hair - I love how era specific this is. Great guitar solo. I’ll be coming back to this one. 4/5 Helpless - a nice melancholy, sad song. Doesn’t stand strong by itself but a good transition song, not necessarily strict filler. 3/5 Woodstock - nice chorus, trippy chorus. Concert-going as cosmological existence. I half recognize / half don’t recognize this song. This is definitely a hippie record. I see this one is written by Joni Mitchell. A cover? 4/5 First half, has a good flow, the sound is very iconic, most songs the big hits. Pretty solid. Déjà Vu - I now realize these guys are the hippie Beach Boys. Cowboy Beach Boys. Meandering but beautiful. 3/5 Our House - and now a terrible Beatles song. Feels completely out of place. Seems the solid first half is going falling apart now. 1/5 4+20 - nice chill song. Not very memorable. 2/5 Country Girl - starts off awful, brings itself back a bit by the end. Can definitely feel the Neil Youngish bit about it. 2/5 Everybody I Love You - strong finish, for a very uneven 2nd half. 3/5 So, I was a bit hesistant to listen to this one. I thought it would be goopy 60s hippie love fest but it’s a solid rock and roll record, with some missteps. It has a melancholy vibe to it that feels like the end of an era. A solid first half means in the age of the LP that the 2nd half of the record got very little play, I’m sure. Although I anticipate it played better at the time of release. I give it 3/5.
A classic
Must be hard to hate each other when your voices sound like this together.
Impossible not to sing along with CSN’s beautiful harmonies. Lyrics that are relevant both then and now. Timeless classic.
Some classics on here. Harmonies are good, but I think they suffer from being recorded in 1970.
🙂
A mí parecer marca el fin de una época y comienzo de una nueva era rock
Groovy! Enjoyed the album but still found myself gravitating towards old classics like Helpless and Our House. I really liked “4 + 20” though, which was new for me!
I knew these songs individually but I'd never listened to the whole album before. What a treat!
Five bc of our house
A nice and short soft rock guitar album.
Unfortunately Spotify only has part of this album in its catalogue. Couldn’t listen to the rest
Carry On - I know this song, never knew the name Helpless - how have I never heard this?
sounds as good as ever
Good stuff. Nice messages in the lyrics. Enjoyable harmonized lyrics 4.6
Classic album. Unfortunately Spotify doesn't carry all the tracks (Neil Young compositions) I have listened to it before.
Reminded me of being a teenager
One of my favorite albums
Excellent!
Fine. Overall pretty good but it didn’t blow my mind, but I think that’s because it’s so influencial so it’s not, like, NEW to my ears but it was new to the world, if that makes sense. I enjoyed it and love Neil Young, duh. “Country Girl” is the stand out track, for sure.
Good ensemble but most of the songs were not my vibe.
Excellent album, I’ve heard one or two of the tracks before, never listened to it front to back. The standout track was Woodstock, they’ve done the best version. There is so much good was packed in one short album, gotta give it a 5
Great album.
Always super chill
CSNY perfected (and probably invented?) the “harmonizing hippies” sound. They have a unique sound together but each member could have (and eventually was) an artist I. Their own right. AND this is probably their best album. If you want to “get to know” CSNY, this is the record you should grab.
A good listen. Nothing special to me.
I love Neil Young but a bit less enamoured by CSNY. Some decent tracks and some a bit less so 3 it is
Love Neil Young. CSN, not so much.
Short album, not super memorable
Neil Young come back to spotify please!!!!!!! I already love CSNY and CSN :D I think this is their most famous album? T-T THE BESTTTTT, I dont know what to call it but the choral? vocals are so beautiful. Maybe its just doubled? Also the guitar on Carry On Teach Your Children is such a classic ahhhh, it makes me nostalgic OUR HOUSEEEEEEEEE 4+20 I had never heard but its so simple and the vocals are so affecting
Really enjoyed it, will listen again
Wow I really enjoyed this. I’ll probably forget why I gave it a 5 though
I know this is some California hippy shit, but the harmonies are glorious.
Wow, short! Very good. I liked it.
One of the best follow-up albums ever.
Always nice to list n to, but specially my favorite Our House.
When Graham Nash, Manchester’s finest, left The Hollies it would have been a far stretch to think he would end up in Laurel Canyon in a band with Neil Young harmonising on the gorgeous Helpless - so gorgeous, in fact, you could forgive it for, structurally and melodically, being an entire copy of Bob Dylan’s Knocking on Heaven’s Door. It became one of Young’s most well known song whilst Our House , for the remainder, ended up featuring on mortgage commercials the world over. This album is almost the definition of Woodstock, the summer of live and the interaction of artists at the time. Famous for their melodies, CS&N remained faithful to this style after Young returned to being solo. It’s a good job Stephen Stills failed that audion for The Monkeys eh?
5 stars for the harmonies alone!
Always a great album to listen to.
Known before: Yes Almost Cut My Hair Our House 4 + 20 6.5/10
Known Before: Standouts: 4. Helpless 7.5
Known before: / Standouts: 05. Woodstock Rating: 6.5
It's...fine. I like Helpless a lot and the rest of it is inoffensive but not my cup of tea.
This album smells like heroin and b.o. It’s beautiful.
Holy hell this was good
Obviously a five. The harmonies alone.
I love this album, I grew up with this album!! Saw them about 20 years ago!! So sweet! 5 stars!
Buen album, me gusto mucho su ambiente y las guitarras que tiene, tiene un sonido muy blusesco. A destacar "Almost Cut My Hair"
Hmmm about half this album is missing from Spotify, so its not getting a fair shake. Still what I heard did not impress. For being a supergroup this outing felt distinctly average, maybe the best if the content is missing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Favorite track was almost cut my hair
Very good songwriting and the vocal harmonies are fabulous. Sounds old, but also like a classic.
Absolute cracker - 5 out of 5
Meh...
Groovy.
Legendary vocal harmonies, good lite rock instrumentation
I'm a big fan of Neil Young's work but till this day don't know too much about this great supergroup and their individual talents. I do like their debut a lot more but the first album with Young is still a great listen. 'Helpless' is an ageless classic that even my aunt and uncle danced as young lovers in the GDR too.
This album contains some excellent songs, and I really enjoy Young's contributions, but I think the overwhelming country twang of it all does turn me off from it quite a bit, as stuff like those country guitars feel cheesy and stereotypical, and the rock hevay numbers are forgettable. Still when the album pulls something off, it really pulls it off. Our House is really pretty, especially.
I love Helpless, Country Girl and Woodstock. Some of the other songs are good - but this is one of those records that is up and down. I’ve listened to this thing all the way through countless times - there’s still songs that I wouldn’t mind skipping.
Cool, groovy 70s sound. Feel like I need to be smoking pot along to this album. Enjoyable, 3*.
Here we have CSNY at the height of their collective powers. The vocal harmonies are unrivaled, but remain highly influential across genres, and the style changes from straight on folk music to jam band really work well. Neil Young remains my favorite component of this band, and his absence is heard when CSN would go on without him. Not that either of them needed each other to be successful. I'm just more partial to his input. The songs missing from Spotify on this record were his, and they're the best tracks here.
Poignant songwriting powered by haunting harmonies and just the right amount of six-string muscularity to accentuate the quiet coziness.
Lovely album, didn't realise I'd recognise so many songs
Goood
A lot of tracks didn’t load on Spotify and overall just wasn’t really for me
Very easy album to listen to, with some outstanding songs that really bring back nostalgia for me personally. My parents loved Crosby stills Nash& Young, so horse with no name brings back a lot of memories every time I hear it.
If I could I would give it a 4.5. Great album.
Surprised that I liked this as much as I did.
didn’t like any song.
Artist yes, album not so much. To listen again
Hippie rock or psychadelic rock or fast-folk rock. Enjoyable but doesn't get as catchy as I would like.
Damn, good
Solid. Few radio hits. Get a flavor of each, for better or worse. 4.
among favorites
Better than I remembered...
Was alright
I don't hear any Neil Young here. The guy is good. But the rest is meh at best. This"supergroup" is missing a key component or two.
CSNY eru ekki top tier hjá mér, en ég kann að meta þá engu að síður. Þetta er gott stöff.
A classic! The songwriting, harmonies, lyrics and instrumentation just all scream nostalgia. While I don't like Young's voice, you have to admit he has passion and is a great songwriter. He probably contributed to some of the heavier rock bits. I just love the vocals of the CSN trio.
Great album!
Just like their debut, it just doesn’t stick on me. It just goes in one ear and out the other. It sounds like a lamer version of The Band.
- Great album, my kind of music - I like the sound and genre - Top tracks: Almost Cut My Hair, Woodstock, Everybody I Love You, Teach Your Children - Annoying that Spotify doesn’t have all the songs anymore after Neil Young took his stuff off - Harmonies are great
A straight 5. Vocals, musicianship a definite 5 out of 5. The song Deja Vu is quite simply a masterpiece. Likewise 'Carry on'
Album 226 of 1001 Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Deja Vu Rating : 5 / 5 Favorite Tracks: Carry On, Teach Your Children, Helpless, Our House Just a remarkable album. Great talents at their peaks. Not much to say about this one except to highly recommend. Anybody would do good to start their day with this album.
woke old geezers remove a select few songs from album because of jo jo rogaine. meekly meh
Just fucking amazing!! Every song tapped into a particular feeling and just nailed it
Classic
Carry On - I like the upbeat rhythm and some lyrical parts but I don't like the instrumental choice, some more rhythmic changes I enjoy but I think it would work better with a more potent singer and guitarist Teach Your Children - I kinda like the older country feel to it, I do enjoy the lyrics as much as Carry On although the old country feel does fit this song lyrically rhythmically I don't like it buy overall better then Carry On Almost Cut My Hair - Electric guitar comes on strong it has more of a 70's feel to it kinda has a bit of CCR and Hendrix in there so far so good, Lyrically not my favorite but not bad, I like the more 70's rhythm to it though Deja Vu - nice rhythm feel to it enjoy the kinda seems to be like an early Queen in the way the lyrics are spoken quickly and quietly slowly ramping louder and slower Our House - a well known song to me I like the lyrics and rhythm overall best song of the album so far 4 + 20 - last listenable song on spotify so far enjoying it not better then Our House but it's probably a close second or third
definitely from the 70's. cool music but overall it wasn't for me. I can see where the enjoyment would come from tho. Based on this, 6.5/10
It’s alright, nice to listen but wasn’t impressed
Half the album was unavailable on Spotify, can’t give a fair rating
Very nice entry in the CSNYverse. Not all tracks available on Spotify.
just a jam. our house!
Erg goed album natuurlijk, maar voor mij net niet genoeg voor 5 sterren. Maar met 4 mag je er natuurlijk ook best wezen.
Liked the album. More laid back then I thought it was
Gray album, like it a little better than their first.
Sounds very sweet, like it much more that expected at the beginning of the album
KKona stuff
Their biggest strength is definitely their harmonies. I wish they'd utilise it a bit more.
Essential Tracks: Our House (Playlist) Helpless 4 + 20
i actually really like this. it’s almost a southern/country twist sounds almost like the beach boys with the multiple men singing at once harmonizing. i really like the calm steady pace. it’s very relaxing. unfortunately a few songs weren’t available to listen to but i still really liked it.
Only half songs on spotify
Our House was cracking. The rest I really couldnt tell you.
Best thing David Crosby ever did was get sacked by the Byrds. Great harmonies all the way through this. Shame it's only half on Spotify
Kinda boring, basic 70s album 3/10
somewhere between 3 & 4.
Never heard this album before as a whole though I know a few songs already. Love it
Listened Before? N Allll right, man! What a cool hippie time capsule this is. I wish all the songs were available on Spotify but I get Neil Young's gripe. I may have to pick this one up on vinyl for the collection. High quality stuff. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Almost Cut My Hair, Woodstock
Almost cut my hair... it happened just the other day... Een plaat die intussen deel van mijn muzikale DNA is. Zoveel talent in 1 band verzameld, dit had een best of kunnen zijn, als ze Suite Judy Blue Eyes hier nog aan geplakt hadden. Vooral Almost Cut My Hair snijdt bij mij nog steeds het hardst. Het is waarschijnlijk zowat het meest tekenende nummer van 1970. Voor mijn vrienden: ik heb van dit nummer een fantastische live coverversie op mijn YouTube kanaal staan door Parker's Alibi. Gitaarheld Ian Parker stond in de jaren 2000 regelmatig in de blueskroeg in Olen, en wist dat hij steeds een bezwerende versie van dit nummer moest brengen voor alle Olense overjaarse hippies. Zwaar spijt dat ik Graham Nash onlangs niet in De Roma ben gaan bewonderen. En RIP David Crosby, ook al was je in persoon waarschijnlijk toch vooral een eikel.
Ik zou het een 3,5 geven maar maak er een 4 van omdat ik 'Cut my hair' zo'n episch nummer vind.
I haven't listened to a lot of CSNY, but the few songs of theirs that I've heard, I've enjoyed for the most part. I thought this was a good album. It was about what I would expect from CSNY: the instrumentation was fine, but the harmonies were out of this world. Each one of these guys is a great singer in their own right, but nothing can beat their harmonizing. As far as individual songs go, "Country Girl" is the best song on the album in my opinion. The organ playing is fantastic, and the way that it swells and fades throughout the song creates a really great sound. Overall, this was a pleasant album to listen to, but it's not high on my list to revisit.
boring as sin
It was very fun and was a whole adventure listening to the album
Folksy warbling. Not my cup of tea.
Carry On Teach Your Children Helpless Woodstock Our House
A classic album full of earthy, melodic, well-written songs. Maybe a little too broad stylistically, but still a highly enjoyable listen. Fave Songs: Our House, Helpless, Carry On, Woodstock, Teach Your Children, Déjà Vu
Deja Vu is a solid album with some very iconic songs that somehow I didn’t realize were CSNY (Teacher Your Children, Our House, Woodstock). At times the harmonies can be a bit much, especially the opener Carry On. 7.7/10
I prefer Crosby, Stills and Nash
Couple of songs liked but a little odd
Such a great, chill album.
Fantastic harmonies, unfortunately some songs aren’t available on Spotify
This album bored me to death. Not a fan, couldn’t make it through last 3 songs.
this album rocks, holds up well even 54 years later.
What. An. Album. Every song is amazing. Every song is unique. Best album so far. It’s a real shame it’s not all on Spotify.
I didn't listen to the tracks missing from Spotify, but what I did hear was great. Really beautiful album.
Buy this record
Solid album. I know most of the songs, but I wouldn't consider it a "must own". I certainly appreciate it though.
Some great songs, some a bit less great, overall very enjoyable
Really enjoyed what I could listen to of this, but not all the songs are on Spotify so can’t rate it higher but v much enjoyed the vibes
Top tier 60s rock. CSNY has never been a favorite of mine, but you’ve gotta give it to them on this one.
All-timer. Such a great record. Kind of a fun version of a supergroup that I don’t really know a lot of off the top of my head. It’s great songwriters each taking turns using the other fantastic musicians as “tools” to craft their own songs. Lots of fun, will keep coming back for more.
Dudes rock
Still not the biggest fan of them, but there are a few that I could really get behind on here, like Country Girl.
very nice tunes whole album isn't Spotify anymore sadly
Incredible Second to none in the folksy rock category
Good
Glad I was able to learn about this album. Lovely singing and strings.
Great, chill, classic dad music
I almost cut my hair is leuk. Verder heb ik de boel na een nummer of 4-5 toch maar geskipt.
Couple of good songs, a bit folksy for my taste. Almost cut my hair had a great bluesy edge and awesome overdriven guitar tone
Thanks Neil Young (and Joni Mitchell) for taking parts of this album from Spotify. I listened through a Youtube upload and must say I enjoyed it. It had tight, strong instrumentation and harmonies and excellent canonical hippie songwriting. Lots of classics included, and short enough not to wear out its welcome. I prefer the previous (debut) album a little more, but this one is still a fine listen.
Pretty ok, will probably listen to it again
Real nice guitar work. The track almost cut my hair's vibe rly stands out
Was a nice change of pace from the usual stuff I listen to, and the lyrics were quite nice. Feels like a unique piece of 70’s US history
long time favorite
Cool vibe, very different from what I'm use to but it brings a different perspective, not sure if it falls under the Country genre.
Not totally available on spotify :/ but i liked what i heard. Bring back this kinda country
Not bad. Pretty much on par for CSNY
wasn't terrible but not for me.
I love Neil Young, but I thought that this didn't match the heights of his solo collection. Pretty middle of the road for the most part. As a fan of Joni Mitchell, I did enjoy the cover of "Woodstock" as a curio, but that's about it.
Very nice! Would listen again :)
Not bad. Bit too country
Certified classic. Stephen Stills killing it on the bass. Couldn't listen to half of the album because of Spotify though.
Really enjoyed it, got to experience a different genre than I usually listen to!
Cool
Middle of the road for these guys
Only the clash of these titans could have made this jewel possible. Great album!
Another favorite, always a pleasure.
Overall I like this album. First group I'm somewhat familiar with. Best one so far on this thing.
Really enjoyed this. Harpsichord sounds nice. Our house is a banger. Wish that half of the album wasn't unavailable on Spotify.
Not my cup of tea, but I didn't mind listening to it.
Really good, hadn't heard much before. Can see why it's a classic. Good textures, great variety. Liked the title track a lot
Hippie folk rock, random bites of electric guitar/rock jamming. I’m kinda mixed here because I really enjoy some of this but other parts feel dated and boring. There’s only a couple of songs that bring it all together for me. A bit of a hodgepodge but a solid one. Best song: Our House
Great collection of songs
This is an amazing album. I have always loved this music with its wonderful harmonies.
Definitely a shift in gears from what we listened to yesterday. This is another love!
I'm just going to repeat my notes from Aerosmith's Toys in the Attic. This one's on my top shelf. A desert-island-disc. A favorite of all favorites. heart-heart-heart I'll add that Stephen Stills and Graham Nash in particular are songwriters who really speak to me both in CSN(&Y) and solo-ly. But also Mr. Young can sometimes really do it, too --- Country Girl, that's what's up.
Wow this is a beautiful album. What a quartet!
Cool acoustic music with rich sounding vocals and emotions. Its a shame that on Spotify half of the songs is unavailable.
dog on the cover
Missing songs on spotify, re-listen at a later date. Available songs: 7/10
Fond of the song Deja Vu. Other tracks are good too but not something i actively seek out.
Didn't really like it. Very country.
Very different from what I listen to usually. My first taste of folk-rock. Did not enjoy the pilot, but it got better. Ups and downs but enjoyable.
Pretty solid, but can't listen to the whole album on free Spotify.
Spotify sucks and didn't have all the tracks. Youtube music had them but Andre came on my music walk so we talked about quantum computing. love the vocal harmonies and hippie shit, but I just want to listen to So Far instead
Very good. For a folk rock album its guitars can get pretty scorching at times.
Another one I could have sworn I had on vinyl. A classic to be sure, though some of the lighter moments are bit too saccharine for my taste
For the past year, my musical appetite has been mostly mellow acoustic-ish (I know there’s electric guitars and stuff used too) music, like CSN/Y, Joni, Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, Willie Nelson, etc. It’s just been my vibe. Lately, I’ve been wanting to break out of that trend and expanding into more types of music and that was a big incentive to do this project. This is one of several CSN/Y and solo albums I have one vinyl. This is probably my favorite one, even though it doesn’t have Suite: Judy Blue Eyes on it, which I’m sure will pop up at some point, so more to come on that song later. Anyway, yeah, I’m a big fan.
Some classic tracks on here. Overall a strong album that I was already vaguely familiar with. Not a fan of Neil Young's whiny voice though.
Wow this album slaps at 53 years old. I mean it is expected given that it is an absolute supergroup. It really makes me think of the impact classic rock has had on the American Soundscape. Being from one of the oldest parts of The States and realizing how young the culture is compared to almost every other country, so the creation of "culture" is something I'm quite interested in. In my estimation, the songs and stories that make it into the larger national myth are the ones that resonate with some essential quality of the nation as a whole. Given the massive wide expanses of the US and its insistent push towards individualism it makes sense that the 70s rock focused on the signifiers of being your own person. I'm specifically thinking of Almost Cut my Hair which resembles so many pieces of the the Action Bronson ~2014 song Easy Rider. Bronson's song (obviously about the motorcycle riding heroes) derives so many of it's musical themes from songs like Almost Cut My Hair in an attempt to clothe itself in the symbolism of the American West and motorcycle culture. And its the fact that a modern song uses musical motifs from songs like Almost Cut My Hair to indicate a culture is a huge sign to me that this album was participating in pretty significant culture making. Which is to say, the reason we're hearing hints of this album to this day is not only because the music is excellent, but because it spoke to an essential American idea which still resonates in some way today. Lyrically, the album feels like a standard hippie rock album with the standard trip inspired lyrics (Deja Vu, Woodstock), songs about non-conformity (Almost Cut my Hair, Helpless), and songs about the single man's experience on the road (4 + 20, Our House, Country Girl).
Not my vibe. It's fine though. 3/5
As this album shows, the rare time that '60s music is good is when it's infused with the gritter, harder sound of the early '70s. I enjoyed the versatility between folk and rock, as well as the character that each member brought into the record. They were a supergroup (one of the first ones), and the music showed it. Whether they were fronting their own tracks or coming together to collaborate and harmonize, the results were strong, distinct songs that also meshed with one another really well. And sidenote: this is maybe the best that Neil Young has ever sounded. Standout tracks are Carry On, Teach Your Children, and Almost Cut My Hair.
I wasn't really expecting too much from Deja Vu before I heard it. But now that I have, Its definitely better than I expected. I liked quite a bit of the guitar riffs and vocals even if sometimes, I felt the quality of the music sounded like it was coming off of a Game Boy Advance (could just be the quality of the YouTube videos that played these songs because most of them are 13-14 years old but whatever) Overall, while it doesn't really go beyond decent. I still said the word decent so that's what it is. Best Song: Carry On / Questions Worst Song: Our House
Deja Vu tuned in perfectly with this rainy Sunday evening, which surprised me, as I came here to bury CSNY. Their harmonies have made my ears itch, most irritatingly on Through My Sails, which manages to mar the otherwise perfect Zuma right at the death. The harmonies are here too, almost immediately with Carry On, but the music around it, moody, dense and put together with what feels like obsessive meticulousness, lit me up. Started laughing when Almost Cut My Hair started, accepted I liked it by its end. Was scrubbing the dining room floor when Our House came on and was transported to a happy memories from hearing it close to forty years ago in the family car - perhaps trite to many, but immensely moving in my current circumstances. Must be a great album if a couple of decent NY songs are alright inclusions rather than standouts? Am writing this after a first listen. Will score it after a second or third tomorrow, making this a sort of anti-cliffhanger (only the writer remains in suspense at any point). Monday update: my score reflects cowardice. David, I fear I did cut my hair. Confidential to Simon: I must acknowledge your “Amazon Music is the home to angry Canadians” comment, which I returned to when remembering Joni’s track x
I think Young outshines everyone here a bit too much, his contributions make the rest sound a little cheesy. You know all the good ones, slightly stingy 3*
good vibe, like 'Woodstock' a lot. fun riffs, don't hear riffs like these anymore in music today.
Their best record. Adding Neil Young was so valuable and brought them to the next level. The perfect blend of 60s hippie music and 70s singer-songwriter. Phenomenal musicians on here.
This is a great album! Its unfortunate that many of the songs aren't available on spotify (likely Neil Young's songs). Which is too bad, Woodstock is definitely one of the best songs on the album. I was able to find them on YouTube though.
