Deja Vu

Powerful stuff!

Not bad

This is a fantastic album. A bunch of great ones and a couple mediocre ones, nothing terrible. The absolute greats are Carry On, Teach Your Children, Woodstock, Deja Vu, and Our House. That's half the album!

Carry On, Teach Your Children, Almost Cut My Hair, Helpless, Our House

One of my favorite albums. Great vocals with Young. Great songwriting. Woodstock is a classic. Teach your children is a great sing a long in the car.

✨🍀✨

super nostalgic, old southern soft rock, i am actually obsessed and it is going in my travel playlist. there is just something so insanely comforting about this entire album. theres also very specific images it makes me see but theyre so vivid you can feel them like as another life but i cant describe them

helpless, woodstock, countrygirl, and everybody I love you - unavailable on spotify :( what was available was sonically dense and rootsy, something I could see enjoying in a family setting or at a reunion. was surprised at how much I enjoyed, but not something i would regularly listen to

Nice

Cosmic

Good one. Some cracking tracks in there. Unfortunately, most of the songs on the album were blocked on Spotify but what was there was enjoyable.

Several tracks missing from this on Spotify so had listen elsewhere. Shows the importance of keeping physical media I guess. A solid introduction into Crosby Stills Nash & Young

This was a perfectly fine 3-star album

Love this album, I own the leather bound version, it was my parents growing up, I was always intrigued by it. I played "Teach Your Children" at my Dad's funeral, brought the house down. Helpless and 4+20 are my favorite songs on the album. And of course "Our House" is one of the sweetest folk songs ever written.

This was better than I was expecting. Solid 70s folk.

So here's the thing with reviewing albums that came out over 50 years ago. You can't review an album comparable to what came after it. For me, no particular songs stood out except "our house" just because of the nostalgia of old TV adverts (in the UK anyway). The album came out in 1970 so It's probably "peak" "that sound" where bands are merging blues, psych, folk and rock (and a pinch of the Beatles for the audience gains). I personally think there were other bands at the time doing more interesting things and creating more interesting songs than what's going on in this album. What I think what stood out the most were the harmonies. They're very nice and what you need to think that this would of been done live in the studio, minus any autotune.

Really good! Young just makes CSN better! 4/5

This album was great!! A very early rock album that was ahead of its time and sounds clean. David Crosby’s guitar playing on the most part is brilliant and I love some of the melodies created such as the opening track “Carry On” and third track “Almost Cut My Hair.” Because I use Spotify, I had to listen to some live cuts for songs such as Woodstock that maybe weren’t as good as the original but this is still a great folk-rock album that I will be definitely be revisiting and makes me want to listen to more Crosby, Stills & Nash. RATING: 8.4/10

Definitely not my typical choice in genre, but there’s decent music here. I like the more funky melody of Questions, than the more folksy melody of Carry On. I struggle with the vocals a little, though. It sounds almost like a monotone choir singing from their throats instead of their diaphragms. Teach Your Children and Helpless are feel good country tunes, but I tend to steer clear of those. Almost Cut My Hair is more my speed. Rock ballad with depth of both sound and vocals. I’m familiar with Our House, but never knew the artist. Again, a feel-good tune. I think someone used it for a tv show theme song long time ago. While the overall sound of Deja Vu doesn’t resonate with me, I can see why it would with other listeners and fans.

Our house, is a very very very fine house

Hadden we deze niet al gehad? Ik heb het gevoel dat ik deze hoes al eens eerder heb gezien. Maar goed, hup, weer zo'n klassiekert. Vier heren die wel weg weten met hun muzikale talent produceren een mooi potje Americana. En dan ook nog Our house erop, sommigen zullen het wel weer niks vinden, maar zelden werd zo'n huiselijk sfeertje zo warm neergezet. Puntje erbij daarvoor. (Zie ook het Top 2000 a gogo-filmpje, Nash is er eigenlijk nog steeds niet overheen...)

Een echte samenwerking, zowel wat betreft schrijven als zingen. Wat zorgt voor afwisseling. Dat maakt ook dat sommige nummers eruit springen en andere vooral jeuk veroorzaken. De heren richten zich soms op het samenspel, maar het album begint voor mij pas echt als Crosby er solo de kracht in gooit in 'Almost Cut my Hair'. Vanaf daar bouwt het af naar mijn allergie plaat "Our House". Met de geforceerde zin 'Our house is a 'very very very' fine house' gevolgd door het Beatles-achtige gelalalala. Maar direct daarna volgt weer het beste van het album. 4+20 is een prachtig gevoelig lied, prima gezongen en vooral afgetopt met een simpel klinkend maar intrigerend gitaartje op de achtergrond. 2 sterren en een bonusster voor 4+20.

Waar Cat Stevens het in zijn eentje moest doen, ondersteunen de heren Crosby Stills Nash en Young elkaar en dat is fijn om naar te luisteren. Mooie harmonieën, de ene keer rockt het meer dan de andere keer, wat een prima afwisseling geeft tussen de nummers.

A far, far better album than it has any right to be. Impeccable songs and performances help a lot of course but a band they weren't.

Not bad, just not my thing. I knew the band because I love Our House (in this album) and Helplessly Hoping (not in this album)

Deja vu! Great memories of when this was big in my life. First when it came out and second early 2000’s.

Not all song available on Spotify

An all time favourite for me. I bought this lp for $1 at a swap meet in '89. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to it over the years.

This is pretty classic folk music. I don't feel like Crosby, Stills, and Nash have the same heat or quality without Neil Young. Some of these songs feel timeless.

Good album with some great acoustic tracks. Very 70s.

Harmonies - Check Melodies - Check Songwriting - Check Guitars going hard - Check I mean what's not to love?

Great chords in the “Carry On” seque, need to use in my own project. “Country Girl” is orchestrated beautifully, love the organ, nice and full. Harmonica in the outro is also nice; paired with the organ reminds me of “Outlaw” by Creo.

Nice folk acoustic album, surprised I haven’t recognized many of these songs, easy listening.

Good album with some nice harmonies and well written, layered tracks. Why are you keeping your cats in the yard? :(

Enjoyed it more than I anticipated, nice throw back. Amazing harmonies.

Could only get a few tracks on Spotify, but they were pretty great. Will try and find a full version.

Ok even though I will be highly this is an album that you must hear to understand the development of post 1950s popular music in the US and elsewhere. The singles are good. The album tracks are filler. The harmonies are absolutely made, not by David Crosby whose note choices are admittedly superb but by the tone of graham nash who brings a clarinet into a flute ensemble (vocally speaking). Nash is the secret sauce. There are vocal blends I prefer. Otherwise. Bloated. Self indulgent, insular, learning all the wrong lessons of Dylan and Joni Mitchell, it’s an artifact rather than art. But yes. Worth a listen. 2.5 rounded up. Also Neil young is overrated.

While I have sufficient empathy to see how serenely introspective and delicate this album can seem, I wasnt in that mood. It made me so ... tired. This... it answers "How to make one of the most vibrant times in musical history feel boring, dejected, flaaaat.. oh wow a droning steel string in the left speaker, and droning male rheedy voices on the right. harmonically bored in stereo. ****stop press*** the exception was the tralalalalla bits in "our house" was almost happy in a silly way. probably perfect for swaying and painting walls while off your face, half asleep... to twangy to sleep to, alas.

I was a C,S&N fan from the get-go. I probably play their debut album more than I play this. Because both sides of that album work for me. Side 1 of DejaVu is stronger than anything C,S&N have ever done, but Side 2 drags a bit for me. Still, that first side is such a winner. Stills’s Carry On is a perfect opener. Crosby’s Almost Cut My Hair is the highlight for me - my freak flag was flying at the time. Neil Young’s Helpless is the great survivor from the album - who hasn’t covered that song? Both Nash’s tracks on the album work for me. Our House was all about living with Joni & she wrote Woodstock, which closes Side 1 & is probably the finest composition on the record. Love Side 1 but the flip is not nearly as thrilling.

I can see why this is a classic. Amazing harmonies, some stellar songwriting, and really tasteful production that never overpowers the vocals. If you were a singer-songwriter, this would be the bible. Young's contribution, both songwriting and guitar playing, lift things. His approach is little bit more rock and less polished than Stephen Stills' tendency towards perfectionism, which I prefer.

pretty chill, men merka ikke når spotify begynte å sppille nye sanger sååå ikke så remarkable hvis d gir mening

mamamamamamamamammamamamamamaammamaammamamaammamamaamamamamamammamamamamamamamamamamamamamammamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamama

Great first half. Standout song: I almost cut my hair

Easy listen, Young stands out in a good way

It was ok, not something I'd choose to listen to. I'm having to be harsh with scoring because these are all great albums.

Lots of the songs weren't available on Spotify, but those that were, were good. I knew most of them, I've listened to this album before. It's nice, incredible vocal harmonies and some really nice guitar work.

Just a couple days after getting some Neil Young, here he is again with his friends. Gave it a couple listens and enjoyed it, was more varied than the typical folk rock I was expecting. The opening song in particular had a great change up in the middle that i didn't expect. An album to give some more listens to for sure, but isn't blowing my mind yet.

Not my thing

Typically 70s in every way, and also an obvious leader in the trends. Sounds nostalgic from the first listen, like revisiting memories you never had.

Nothing blew my mind, but just pleasant to listen to

I'm not really a big supergroup guy for the most part. There's some really solid songs here but it just feels a bit too disjointed for me and lacks that clear artistic vision of a single voice. Still an enjoyable listen though.

Grudgingly I'll admit these songs are pretty great, even if three-quarters of the band are pretty dislikeable.

Good album, classic songs

I was tempted to knock this down a star because of Neil Young's horrible views and his support of censorship, which annoyingly lead to my experience of listening to this album being disrupted by having to find every song where he has a writing credit on YouTube because they'd all been removed from Spotify. The same goes for Joni Mitchell, who they cover on this album. Unfortunately, Young's contributions are GOOD, and so is "Woodstock" (I was already familiar with Mitchell's original version, and even used to cry listening to it before she broke my trust), which kind of annoys me even more. I didn't remove the star because I was so excited about finally having a five star album that I hadn't heard before. This is my first, and musically, it warrants that. This is the kind of music I got into this list hoping to discover. I'm 22, and was really taken by 60s and 70s music when I discovered what it was a few years back, but was too overwhelmed by the sheer multitude of artists that I never dug as deep as I would've liked to. This band were one of the many acts from this era that I'd been meaning to get into, but there were so many of those that it was probably never going to happen without something like this list to focus my music discovery. All four are good writers, but I think Nash may be my favourite writer (judging, of course, from this album alone). This could be partly due to the fact that I'd kind of heard his contributions before though. My dad quite often used to sing "Our House" and "Teach Your Children" to me. Those ended up being my favourites. Although I'm certain I would've still fallen head over heels for "Teach Your Children" if I'd heard it for the first time today. It's a truly incredible song. I don't hear songs like that every day. Other than that, opener "Carry On" (written by Stills) was also amazing- the kind of opener that lets you know the album is going to be next level. Favourite tracks: Teach Your Children, Carry On, Our House

Fine album of singer songwritery workmanship with those harmonies of different egis pulling in diff directions. Our House is well twee and others mark the end of the 60s and Vietnam etc.

I know it is a classic. I like a lot of what Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Neil Young put out, but then this one never really got to me.. don’t know why. Guess I find it boring to some extend.

Really enjoyed that. One annoying country song on there (Teach Your Children) that spoiled the start but quickly got better. Nice hearing Young's voice but not have it dominate the entire album. I'd love to give it a few more listens but as with most of the Young albums it's been decimated by Spotify signing alt-right conspiracy theorists up. YouTube is insufferable. Ah well. One to explore more of if it ever comes back. 3.5*

Solid 70's folk rock, but not memorable or my style.

Didn't hate it. Rounding up from 2.5.

I may be in the minority, but I don't like the harmonies & I can't stand Neil Young's voice on this album. I enjoyed Almost Cut My Hair but didn't care for the folksy Americana tracks. The ones with a rock sound were pretty good, but I wouldn't play this again. Our House is grates on my nerves & just can't stand that song.

Great harmonies, great songwriting, classic great stuff here.

Since Young pulled his catalogue from Spotify, several songs are missing from the album track listing. Which is why the version that's currently available on that particular platform is way better than the full album. "But that means you didn't get the full album experience!" you say. Don't worry, I hunted down the missing tracks to be sure. Neil Young really does make everything worse. And there's really not a lot of margin for lame songwriting here. It's a pretty mediocre album even with Young's nonsense removed. Add his songs back in and it goes from passively mediocre to actively lame.

We got the CSN album a few days before this and I thought it was fantastic, but it was missing that wow factor of a 5. Given I am not a Neil Young fan, I expected to like this album about the same or less. And yes, I had a general idea of the songs in both albums coming into this. But something with Young's extra dimension here just transports me to a different time. Literal close my eyes and imagine frolicking in the sunflowers type transportation. Don't get me wrong, Helpless is still by far my least favorite song on the album solely because of Neil Young's voice. But the rest is beautiful, magical, something I would listen to on repeat and melt my day away. The classic folk harmonies get me every time, what can I say. Thanks for coming together to make literally one album before disbanding guys.

B- Carry On - 3 Teach Your Children - 3 Almost Cut My Hair - 3 Helpless - 1 f*** Neil Young Woodstock - 3 Deja Vu - 3 Our House - 5 4 + 20 - 3 Country Girl: A. Whiskey Boot Hill / B. Down, Down, Down / C. “Country Girl” (I Think You’re Pretty) - 5 still f*** Neil Young, but this one was actually good Everybody I Love You - 2 I know Zep is notorious for song-theft, but the Carry On/Friends sound is audaciously ripped off. Shame on you, Zep! This was friiggin awesome. I didn't expect to like it, because I wasn't a huge fan of CSN, but ironically the addition of Y made CSNY very good. Who would've thought? The weirdest part is that Y was my least favorite part of the album, but I guess he helped elevate their overall sound. There's a life lesson here, but I can't figure out what it is. Anyways, f*** Neil Young.

The greatest names of folk rock in one album. What more do you want?

When 4 songwriting masters of folk come together to create an album and sing... The vocals are especially beautiful on Déjà Vu. The amount of good stuff these 4 guys produced in the 60s and 70s is totally incredible.

The definition of a supergroup. It’s funny how much internal strife there was juxtaposed against these gorgeous harmonies.

Very good collection of songs, great songwriting and excellent vocal harmonies by Crosby, Still, Nash and Young.

Great album. All the Neil Young tracks are obviously gone from Spotify but this album was so enjoyable I listened to it on amazon. Our House is the stand out, classic song, but the entire thing is good. Mid 4

stupid I got this one months ago and forgot about it. I sorta knew I would love it, but it fills me with such joy. It's exactly what I need and what I love about music.

half the album is missing on spotify

Foundational rock with a county vibe. Some nice guitar work. Highlight was Carry On.

Highlights: "Country Girl," "Deja Vu," "Teach Your Children," "Woodstock" Seems like a real development from CSN. The arrangements are fuller, and the production improved, and it maintains the strengths of that last album. They know when to linger on a musical idea and how to create new interest as one wears out its welcome. The lyrics tend to be memorable, meaningful, and not too overwrought. And of course the vocal harmonies are iconic. Excellent all around.

Wonderful.

Not bad, I just don't like the vibe of most songs. Favorite song: our house.

It's fine. Probably the best of the CSNY stuff that I've heard. But it's still just fine. Almost Cut My Hair is fucking stupid.

A lot of great songs on this album. The harmonies are really impressive technically and there is an underlying 60s attitude that permeates everything. A couple of the songs were really big let downs and it was sort of jarring to deal with that after hearing a great song. Really close to 5 stars for me though. 4.5 stars

Really enjoyed that. Knew a few that I didn't realise. Was a great morning dug walk album

Plan on giving this a re-listen soon--enjoyable, but nothing really stuck with me. All the songs are very well-written and well-composed, but it felt a little unforgettable at the end. Definitely some standout tracks on this, and it was short enough that it never got tiring or dragged-on. (Favorite Tracks: Helpless, 4 + 20)

really solid, big fan, not a bad song

There is such a rare beauty to these harmonies Our House in particular is just gorgeous and transports me to such a comfortable place The only criticism I’d make is that this feels like a collection of great songs by 4 different song writers, rather than a cohesive whole

This is a very good album - their only good one, in my opinion. The production and arrangements are "fuller" than on their first album, and the addition of Neil Young's songs enhance the quality of the band's performances greatly.

Going back to rate Neil Young albums now that he's back on Spotify. Never listened to a CSN album before but it was kind of what I was expecting. Definitely liked Young's songs the most but a very good album. Fav songs: Helpless, Woodstock, Country Girl

Excellent album. Helpless and Country Girl are standouts for me, but really, every song on here is a classic.

It's loaded with CSNY classics. Probably their best album.

Technically lovely, though nothing jumps out. Some of the best background music I could ask for.

beautiful. love.

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

Lovely classic. 5 stars.

too much folk for me...

1. 4.5/5 2. 3/5 3. 6/5 4. 3/5 5. 3.5/5 6. 3.5/5 7. 4/5 8. 3.5/5 9.3.5/5 10. 3.5/5 =3.7/5

1. 4 2. 3 3. 5 4. 3 5. 3 6. 3 7. 4 8. 4 9. 3 10. 3 3.5

The sound of this album was refreshing and very interesting the first time, but it truly wears itself thin when repeated. Considering that I gave the first CSN album a 5 star, I was shocked how much I genuinely disliked listening to this. It feels like it has significantly less variety, leans way too hard into the constant harmonization, and is overall a step down from the first in every way. No song pulls off the sound as well as the best tracks on the first, either, so the lack of variety doesn’t even have a point. Lightning did not strike twice, and the songs genuinely annoyed me to listen to. Will not be revisiting to preserve the sanctity of the original album.

Nice job boys, top notch harmonies

Very nostalgic album for me. Had it in my car on heavy rotation. Love the melodies. “Our House” is one of the sweetest little ditties ever. 4.3/5 but I’ll round up

I don't understand why it is the highest-selling album of each member's career to date. Nothing special for me, maybe I'm too young. Need to relisten in 10 years. "Helpless" is nice.

One of the rare examples of a supergroup that really worked. I don't love every track, but there's enough here to make this album memorable.

not really my cup of tea tbh... nothing against it just not what i want to listen to

Enjoyable - our house will forever be associated with an advert from the 80s though

Great album. Can hear hints of lots of great bands and musical styles.

masterpiece

bored me to tears and most missing from spotify

I have this one!

70 folk rock

Lovely lovely, but sadly cut short by spotify

Decent

Some nice ballads and versatile themes.

This was one of three albums we had on cassette on a lad's holiday in the Lake District 30-odd years ago. We listened to each one many, many times. So I know this album well and it's a good one. However, it's not a great album, some of the tracks have aged better than others. Neil Young's presence seems a little lacking. There's also a dip in quality on side 2 in my opinion.

Reminded me of the beatles

3.5

A good album full of classic jams.

Yeah mate alright solid blues rick shizzle

Classic blues rock. With or without Young, this is a great band.

Pants

Enjoyed this more than I'd expected to.

Surprisingly great record. Some of the best harmonies I’ve ever heard with catchy tunes.

Nice for background music, nos my fav

Damm I backed myself in a corner on this one . I have their last and more shit album a three so I have to rate this one higher

Nunca había oído hablar de este disco y me ha parecido una auténtica joya. Banda sonora de un viaje en coche en una mañana de primavera.

Nothing remarkable either way. Just fine. A few chill songs that were decent to listen to.

Halvdelen af albummet mangler, men det der er er sgu meget godt

some nice songs but again not going to search this out again

Lot of range on here. Our House has always been a forgettable track to me, but Deja Vu is a prog-folk banger. I need to listen to more of this (more Neil Young in general), but the first two listens were quite enjoyable.

Really enjoyed this one. Each song had its own feel, probably because each song was a different writer. Looking into it, one was even by Joni Mitchell. 4/5

I’m definitely more of a solo Neil guy than a CSNY guy, but I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t have a good time with this too. I prefered the more electric songs over the unplugged hippie jams, and it’s clear that this isn’t Neil’s wheelhouse either- his acoustic stuff works best when he goes full country- but it’s a solid work that gives you a feel for an important part of history. B, would probably give it a plus if there was a version with “Ohio” as a bonus track.

Just a perfect storm. It's only unfortunate that it was apparently painful to make, and that due to Joe Rogan's douchebaggery, facilitated by spotify, four songs are still missing from that service.

Just a damn fine album from start to finish. Hits the freaking spot when I'm in the mood for it!

Only part of this album is available unfortunately. Either way, what a great collaboration Saved tracks: Helpless, Woodstock, Our House, 4+20

fav: country girl

Classic but top saccarine

Stone cold classic. I really enjoyed listening to these songs- mainly country-folk rock ballads. The collective genius of 4 masters..... ....well to be honest 3 with some help. Some tracks show who had the upper hand in the band.

It’s good,it’s very good folk rock.I can’t really spot a problem with it all.It’s not my type of music but all the songs are good.Especially that Woodstock song about being stardust.

I couldn't listen to half of this (due to spotify licensing?) What I heard was OK but not special

Pretty boring to be honest

Speravo in un po' più di epica o classicità

The parallel vocal harmonies have always been wonderful. It may just be needing to go to youtube to listen to the tracks Young authored skewing my view, but Nothing truly grabbed me. Still a good listen, would listen again.

crosby, stills, nash and young… the intersection of southern rock and folk. gorgeous harmonies from the band and each of the four takes lead vocal duties on at least one song. the beautifully haunting lead vocals by neil young stand out on the tunes “helpless” and “country girl”. an enjoyable listen. highlights: “almost cut my hair”, “woodstock”, “everybody i love you”.

This was a pretty good album. I'm sorry that's all I really have. I like CSN&Y as a group and individually. This album was that. It didn't blow me away, but I'll definitely listen to it again. Erica: I was surprised by how many songs I knew which may make me biased due to nostalgia factor. I like the harmonies and guitar and a lot of these songs were top notch.

Just good ol’ fashioned folksy California rock. Pretty timeless.

Amazing album from an amazing super group.

very cool

I believe I would of scored this higher, but such a bummer going back and forth from Spotify to YouTube while listening, it really took me out of it. If Young wasn’t such an egotistical drama queen, it prolly would have been a 3 or 4. Giving this a 2, adding “Almost Cut My Hair.”

This was warm and cozy. For some reason, even though "Our House" normally annoys me, it nearly made me weep this time. However, I still don't like "Teach Your Children."

Actually really nice classic rock. Prefer the more acoustic folky numbers like Teach Your Children and Our House

I'm not really getting anything super impactful from this.

4 - it's hippie music that has a similar vibe to Guess Who. I'm into it. some songs weren't available so i can't give it a 5

Loved this album!! 60s folk rock at its finest. Unfortunately the whole album wasn’t available on Spotify, so only got to hear about half the songs. Listen again: yes Purchase for my collection: yes Favourite Song: Almost Cut My Hair Worst Song:

Classic album. Time to let the freak flag fly!

Some good old fashioned spin in a circle hippie dance music.

“Teach your children” might be the low point of the album, despite being so famous. “Almost Cut my Hair” has some funny lyrics and some wicked guitar. “Our House” is probably my favorite song, it just sounds like a Laurel Canyon jam session

Not their best album, but it is really good. "Teach Your Children", "Helpless", & "Our House" are the top songs on the album. "4 + 20" I like just cause 420. All together a good, but not necessarily great album.

Bit sickly sweet at times and not enough Young for my liking

Stephen Stills' Manassas yesterday and now I get this today? This gives me a sense of...Déjà vu. Only this record is better.

one of my favs!

I could *swear* I have already seen this masterpiece pop up on this app. It's what they call a bad case of... déjà vu, is it not? Guess it's because this document about a turning point in American music history *had to* be in this list. And I knew it already. Whoever couldn't see it coming needs to dig further into the past. It's one of the ways you can better understand the present moment. Number of albums left to review: 616 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 188 (including this one) Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 86 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more essential to me): 117

Not my favorite but not bad either. Definitely surprised by the guitar expected more folk and got some rock in there. Couldn’t evaluate the whole album since half the songs were taken off Spotify. Thanks Joe Rogan

Not the biggest Neil youn fan, but I love CSN. 4 stars

Bangers.

This is a favourite of my early youth. A gorgeous album , with classic songs of the time. Every song touches me and brings me back to an earlier, simpler time and place. The individual contributions of the 4 are mostly stellar, with Young's Helpless taking centre stage but followed closely by Carry On, Teach Your Children, Almost Cut My Hair, Our House as well as the dramatic title track. I think the classic songs and the place it holds in my heart adds up to a 5 star album.

Otro que mejor en Tidal. Empieza bien con "Carry on". Muy bonitas "Almost cut my hair", "Helpless", "Déjà vu", "Our home", "4 + 20" o "Every body I love you". No esperaba encontrarme con un disco tan bueno de 4 estrellas hacia arriba. No os lo perdáis.

I was close to giving this album a 5. So many great songs plus a few that are filler.

Total classic with so many great songs. I can barely hold on through the Nash tracks though, Teach Your Children and Our House are both icepick to the ear terrible. Neil as usual kills it. Love Country Girl so much.

Even better than the debut, with similar strengths but a bit more range and depth. "Carry On" is a terrific opener, "Helpless" an all-time great of yearning and uncertainty (and everything), "Country Girl" suite rich and compelling. Plus there are two nonpareil pop gyms – "Our House" and "Teach Your Children Well" – of deep melodious sweetness that stays just shy of stickiness or sickliness. "Woodstock" is the worst song of the lot to this one's ear. In toto, this record is a a pure, organic classic that's miles above so much of what it engendered.

Nom d'album un peu meta je trouve

woodstock désastreux mais our house trop mignon

Essential.

Didn't hate this as much as I thought I might.

The difference when Neil sings is wild. The band still sounded the same musically but his voice is just vastly different. I think I prefer when the other three are more prominent though!

Beautiful sounds and harmonies. What is there to pull the listener in instead of falling asleep on the couch?

Their best

This deserves a 5/5 for the harmonies on Helpless alone. I’m not sure it hits the transcendental heights of tracks like Suite: Judy Blue Eyes and You Don’t Have to Cry off the self titled album, but there are no bad tracks here.

Didn't really hook me at all

Loved this more than I thought I would.

So freakin good. I love these guys.

I haven’t listened to this full album before. Woodstock was my favorite song. Mostly enjoyed the instrumental grooves throughout the album.

Almost Cut My Hair

I really, really loved this.

Unfortunately ended too fast. Great album.

Good

I always like hearing C.S.N.&Y., but I also find myself wishing a lot of the time that the rest of their stuff was as angry and bitter as "Ohio"

Chill music to listen to when you just want to... Chill

Kind of expected more from this for a supergroup offering and I tend to like other stuff of theirs (both solo and as a collective) better. ‘Carry On’, ‘Déjà Vu’, ‘4+20’ and ‘Country Girl’ are the picks here.

Here we are: the dream team. Sure, Crosby Stills & Nash had a great album as a trio, but it was the addition of Neil Young that would give us gold. Of course it's well-done folk rock. Impeccable songwriting goes a long way and the boys put on their best effort with this album.

Great guitar. Strange mix of country and rock. Worth a second listen

Carry On is a great into. Teach Your Children is too twangy. Almost Cut My Hair is okay, nothing spectacular. Helpless is a classic, dripping with emotion and empathy. Woodstock is a jammer. Deja Vu has a very poetic sound and beat. Our House is okay, nothing spectacular.

For a super group it didn't sound like the best of any of their offerings

Something about these guys is distractingly passive. It seems like there's some great content being wrapped up in unnecessarily docile clothing.

Spotify doesn't have the Neil and Joni penned songs of course, but no matter, I have this one on vinyl. Neil's songs aren't the best thing here anyway. His guitar certainly adds some nice flavor, but I feel like he was saving his best material for his solo records at this point. Stills, Nash, and even Crosby are in top form though, cranking out some tunes that were very of their times, but which sound timeless.

I enjoyed it. A few meh songs, but overall it's quite pleasant and lovely. A shame half the songs on Spotify can't be played. I enjoyed "Almost Cut My Hair" and "Our House" for the two ends of the spectrum. I think Our House is probably the song I've most heard, but it's kind of a cute little thing that isn't overblown or pretentious, and I can get behind that.

Good. Not all of it was streaming on Spotify, but I enjoyed the songs that were streaming.

Le groupe est ici au complet avec Crosby, Nash, Young, ses chevaux demeurés et l'intégralité des Stephen Stills, toujours aussi marlous. L'enregistrement s'arrêtera très vite en raison de la pagaille mise par les Stephen Stills, ces derniers tentant chacun leur tour de tenir le plus longtemps possible sur les crazy horses de Neil Young.

Trop de protagonistes sur cet album, on ne sait plus où donner de la tête.

The best band discovery for me in 1001

The harmonies on this are really nice and tight but after half a dozen tracks it becomes somehow grating. Decent enough songs but it annoyed me a little. 2 seems too stingy, 3 too generous. It’s a 2.5.

Been a while since I listened to this one but remember it being sound with ‘Helpless’ one of my standouts

Music didn't seem bad but wasn't a fan of the vocals.

Not heard this album but already loved the classics that are 'Our House' & 'Teach Your Children'. Big fan and one I have saved. Great album.

Really enjoyed this

Excellent album, thoroughly enjoyed the addition of Neil even if they didn’t. Possibly the best folk rock band ever and this album is a perfect example why. They blend the two genres seamlessly for a wonderful time. Wish there was a tad more range, but other than that, the singing, instrumentation, lyrics, and production were all spectacular. 4/5

Graham Nash and Neil Young take turns writing songs which leads to an album that runs around folk-country-rock and then completely turns around on its head

chillers

really pleasant actually way better than their other album 4.5

really mid tier to me, it's decent but i've liked their other stuff much better 6/10

6/10. On the better side of blah.

This was very solid, I think it showcased the individual members' creative directions better than some of their other albums (David Crosby popped off on his two songs). If it wasn't so much of a hassle to listen to on Spotify I think I'd want to listen to it again. 8/10

Great album! Didn't keep my attention for long though

Bit too folky for me

Country Girl is fantastic.

At its best, as good as this era of Hippie Rock got. Not perfect: hits or not, My House and Teach Your Children are mawkish pablum I never need to hear again. Woodstock gets more dated every year, though it's still a rocking song. But mostly very good.

Today we have the supergroup comprised of Bing Crosby, Stephen Stills, Kate Nash, and Angus Young. What a power cuatro. Songs I already knew: Our House Favourites: Our House, Teach Your Children This was a really enjoyable album. A real standout was the vocal harmonies throughout which never failed to sound fantastic. The music itself was a blend of folk, rock and country and made for a nice easy listen. It was like an audio version of a thick blanket on a cold night - it sounded cosy. Overall, an easy album to recommend. You may not like it, but I’d be surprised if you hated it. You’ll probably like it.

One good rest rubbish

Good, but not a great album. I found that this band was more of a vocalists meeting, than famous instrumentalists. Plenty of beautiful vocal arrangements, especially in the first part of the record, but it doesn't bring anything new or special to the musical books. One song was definitely from a different mould than the rest. "Almost Lost My Hair", fully written and performed by David Crosby, is a really good piece of music. Slightly progressive and psychedelic in nature, it has a really good and interesting guitar riffs and solos. The issue is, after seeing how good this track is, it's definitely a shame that the rest of the album is underwhelming. This record is a great piece of trivia, something you would listen to out of curiosity, but not for pleasure.

Definitely my kind of music. I listened to the original version once. Might listen to the 2011 Remastered version next. Really enjoy the music, the atmosphere, and I am excited to dig in to the lyrics as well. 4.0/5

5.0

Good oldie rock

Folk

Highlight tracks:Carry On, Almost Cut My Hair Nice folk rock sounds Cool lapsteel use 4/5

Not quite what I expected this to sound like, but that's a good thing. I figured I wasn't going to like anything here, but it was pretty good. I think it's a little too folky at parts, which draws me out of it, but oh well. There were a couple songs on here that I already knew but didn't know who the song was by, so that was interesting. I liked each of the singers' voices and their harmonies together. The harmonies reminded me a bit of Yes. My favourite songs were Carry On and Deja Vu.

baita som

RIP David Crosby. He died a few days before this album showed up on my page. I was excited to listen to it. "Almost Cut My Hair" is a freakin' jam. Same for "Helpless". That one will get stuck in your head. Damn you, Neil Young! Great vocals. Painful songs from front to back, almost. From the first song: "Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice..but to carry on." I read that this album is the highest selling album for Crosby or Stills or Nash or Young or as a group...and according to Stephen Stills, it took 800 hours to record. That's saying something!

One of the best albums ever made. All songs are pretty, Woodstock is cheerful, Our House so very beautiful, and 4+20 years so tender it can make me cry.

I know this album so well it's hard to be objective. But this is really good, right? Favourites: Woodstock, Almost cut my hair, Carry on.

Most excellent. Everybody I love you.

good stuff

ok

Gentle, folksy vibes. Good for background music when I have adults (like mom) visiting.

This album is awesome. CSNY's usage of vocals is so impressive to me, and the instrumentation is excellent as well. Favorite track: Country Girl

Amazing combination of songs by obviously an amazing combination of individuals. Every song bought something unique to the album which made it an engaging listen. Shame the full album isn’t on Spotify!

🙂

OK I'm going to give this my first 5 stars. The instrumentals were beautiful and I tried to do something else while listening at the same time, but somehow this album demanded so much attention I just sat there and enjoyed listening to it.

It's a supergroup album, and not one that I can say anything particular about. Young curves the sound his way, which I can appreciate. Other than that, there's a kind of effortless timelessness to the whole thing. And not a weak song.

Meh

great musicians, influential. contains some of their hit songs.

Half of it missing - curse you Joe Rogan - but still enough wonderful harmonies, guitar virtuosity and songwriting to earn 4 stars. I'll even give Our House a pass, but not for long

Ended up really enjoying this one. The melodies were amazing, and so was the instrumentation. Can really see why this has influenced so many contemporary artists, especially some of my faves like boygenius.

Started off really good with "Carry On" and continued to be great! Didn't listen to the following tracks because they weren't available on Spotify: Helpless, Woodstock, Country Girl and Everybody I Love You. Therefore this isn't a complete album review. I really like the vibe of this album and I am surprised I haven't listened much to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young before, because I have obviously heard of them.

I enjoyed this album so much! The harmonies are amazing.

Deja Vu is smack bang middle of the road 60s/70s easy listening rock, not good, not bad, just exists. 2/5, totally unremarkable except for Our House, which is very good.

Preferred this album to the other efforts of the contributors that we've had - they hide Neil Young's voice really well in this one - and it's not a bad listen, if a bit bland. Beautifully put together, some nice harmonies, and nicely sung. If it was on Spotify I'd probably revisit it, as it isn't I won't. 3/5.

Serviceable background music, and most of it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome, but overall the content is pretty thin save a couple of tracks, the last two songs kinda suck (including one Neil Young wrote!?), listen to Young’s solo albums instead.

A classic, love the vocal harmonies and guitar.

Some good hits

Soulful and good car-ride music

I love, love, love this album, always have.

This album has some very good songs but not all.

One of my all-time favorite albums.

4/10

Listened to it. Liked two songs: Carry On and Deja Vu. ;)

Great classic rock folk blend

Kinda fire

Excellent! Plusieurs classiques qui tombent dans mes cordes!

Very middle of the road

Smells like Boomer Spirit

Un dels grans discos del posthippisme. El més important juntament amb 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters' de Simon & Garfunkel, tots dos d'un any clau, 1970. La primera cara és espectacular, clarament mereixedora de les 5*. La segona part baixa una mica el nivell, tot i mantenir el disc com una col.lecció de temes antològic, del millor de l'época.

What the fuck, I thought this was some late-to-the-party, unbearably hippie sap. And it is, but it is fucking awesome!

Love is coming to us all Я в восторге . Гармония голосов и инструментов просто замечательная. Рай для перфекциониста. Очень понравился трек deja vu и carry on

Прикольный альбом, вероятно абсолютно не популярный в моей стране тк я ничего про него вообще не слышал. Американская музыка в ее лучшем проявлении, и вокал и инструментал и длина альбома все мне понравилось. обложка тоже хорошая! По трекам: Country girl офигенный трек из трех частей, с тремя разными инструменталами, и вообще мне он напомнил песню фрэнка оушена Pyramids. Teach Your Children, Woodstock, Our House то есть почти половину альбома я потом крутил еще несколько раз в течении дня, гармоничный и разносторонний альбом, особенно для своих 52 лет

Niks mis mee. De productie klinkt erg lekker en gelukkig niet gedateerd. Favoriete nummers: '4 + 20' en 'Almost Cut my Hair' (ik vermoed dat Tom Petty dit nummer en dan met name het intro ook erg mooi vond).

The production quality is phenomenal. I've listened to Neil Young but I didn't know about Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. I wonder if that's common knowledge you should know about. It's a very pleasant soft rock album with intricate guitar play. I really like David Crosby's vocals and especially on the song "Almost cut my hair". I only recognize "Our house" which surprisingly is one of the weakest songs on the album.

Ik verveelde me nogal snel. Maar eigenlijk is de muziek wel oké

it’s so lovely, there are so many hooks and it’s played so well, such great production - sad that this generation and people like these were responsible for the degradation and collapse of our civilization

Didn't realise some of the songs were theirs.

Boring songs. They can harmonize well, but that’s about it.

This is a good album. Enjoy the folk rock and the harmonies But don’t know something just isn’t there that makes me want to add to my rotation. For that reason it misses out on the 4 stars.

Apart from one or two songs that are a bit too sweet, I really liked this album! With the benefit of the doubt a five star album (thanks to "Almost cut my hair")

I don’t always agree with this list, but this one is indeed one of those albums that everyone should hear. It’s got a bunch of top 10 tracks and it’s incredibly well themed. Its incredibly pure and the heart of the hippy lifestyle. 4/5

Been putting this off for ages cos it wasn't on Spotify but found it on YouTube Music - and loved it. Much more varied and accessible than I expected. Drifts into real-ale-and-beards from time to time but that's OK.

Carry on-cute little two parter, if a little indulgent👍 Teach your children- this is teetering on the edge of sentimentality for me Almost cut my hair- I like the music, but it all seems a bit overdramatic in the lyrics department. I get the long hair anti military thing now, but still, a bit melodramatic Helpless- I like the idea, wish chorus was a bit stronger👍 Woodstock- quite a funny thing to cover if the description is true, but sorry Joni, find this quite saccharine Deja vu-I like this song. Starts off quite fast paced before becoming more ruminating and vibey👍 Our House- this shouldn’t work for me, its so sickly sweet, but just so cute I can’t help liking it👍 20 + 4- bit of a throwaway Country girl- This is so overblown and too loud, good foundation but doesn’t work as a whole Everybody I love you- This definitely feels like a closing track, the instrumental does pop off👍 All in all, this is a bit incohesive for me, but I am a sucker for some of these. Enjoyed overall, 3/5

Lite upp, lite ner. Helt okej dock.

Wasn't expecting the first track to be anywhere near as funky as it has turned out to be. I was expecting track two to be as country as it is. Grim. Track three seems pretty dad rock. Was this in the soundtrack for Withnail and I? Track four kinda defies explanation. It's slow rock with the dirty streak of country manifesting as thread-like veins beneath the surface. Track fives rocks out a bit more. Oh, this track is called Woodstock. That makes sense. Look, I know that CSNY are the ultra-revered supergroup, but I ain't buying it. It's exactly what you'd expect from a supergroup, and this is not a ringing endorsement. Everyone seems to be waiting their turn to do their bit, especially in track 6, which lurches hither and yon, veering between ostentation and banality. We have definitely all been here before. Our House stands out. It is simple, unpretentious and, frankly just lovely. The same can be said of 4+20, which seems to call out to Gordon Lightfoot. Country Girl veers wildly back to ostentation, with crashing chords, dramatically emphasised organs and melodrama rippling like the muscles of a wiry old man. It's the sort of track that has everything dialled to 11, and honestly, I can't wait for it to be over. We finish up the album (after skipping the remnants of County Girl, god what a chore) with a gloriously upbeat and funky Everybody I love You. Again, it's the supergroup taking turns to do their turn. Each turn is exemplary, but... Like the whole album, it's actually pretty damned unremarkable.

Some songs missing, but an enjoyable listen!

4.5

I would’ve loved to give this a bad score to piss off the old grumpy Neil Young extremists that plague this site but this is great 4/5.

Not as good as CSN in my humble opinion but still a banger and the Neil songs are cracking

Pretty good for country. Thankfully nothing like the new pop country crap.

The harmonies are a bit too sweet for my taste and the songwriting on the second half a bit safe, but the first half are all absolute bangers.

Really enjoyable, especially like that there's barely a part where there's only one person singing

I like this album a lot. Some songs are a bit boring, but they get saved by some interesting guitar.

Harmonies harmonies harmonies. Can't find much wrong with this album so it's definetly a high 4! Saving the precious five stars but this comes close

‘Folk rock supergroup’. There is nothing in that phrase that would be of interest to me, and the album affirmed this. Plodding and indulgent. Got three songs in and had enough.

This sounds like it's only a chord change away from becoming a bloody Eagles album. Almost Cut My Hair is the most hippie meme song ever. Our House is charming enough and conjures up many warm childhood memories. There's probably a lot more depth to this album than I'm giving credit for. It's actually quite a radical approach for 1970 with the different styles. It sounds like a museum piece though.

It might be superclassic and all, but most songs do not appeal to me. Especially in "our house" the lalala part.... argh....

One of these superclassic albums.

Top notch.

Easy five star, doesn’t get more classic than this

Still not really my cup of tea.

Mleh

Was a nice listen.

Classic. Full, beautiful harmonies.

True musicians

This website keeps giving me folk and I'm completely fine with that

I forgot Neil Young withdrew his music from Spotify, so in the absence of his four songs on this album, so in their absence I listened to Joe Rogan instead. Did you guys know that women are inferior and COVID isn't real?!? Just playing. Funnily enough, Deja Vu is a terrible name. When last I listened to CSN, I thought it was the blandest, drive time dad rock by very competent musicians. This time round, they've introduced a feeling of doubt and sadness to their music that is the 'secret sauce' that makes this album really good. Even the child like Our House is only sweet if taken entirely at face value. Really good.

Allow me to start by pointing out this is the 6th album I'm getting from Neil Young's direction over here. One would think there are other musicians in this world, but obviously not our esteemed curators. (And for the record, I generally like Neil Young's music.) With that in mind, I'll refer to this particular album and point out that while I'd generally describe it "well, nice", I will also add I see little in the way of reason to listen to it again in this day and age.

Wait, this is actually really good. I wasn't expecting that because I've listened to about 4 Neil Young-related albums so far and disliked all of them. But nah, this album is a load of fun with some big and catchy hits. A cool surprise.

Perfectly enjoyable, with about half the songs being songs I've heard a thousand times. Great to hear them in the context of the record they were all released on.

Great classic album

One of the greatest albums ever.

Es bellísimo. Me relaja

It's a very very very fine house
