Reviews (page 12 of 14)
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
Good stuff. Nice messages in the lyrics. Enjoyable harmonized lyrics 4.6
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.
Always nice to list n to, but specially my favorite Our House.
Known before: Yes Almost Cut My Hair Our House 4 + 20 6.5/10
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 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*.
Lovely album, didn't realise I'd recognise so many songs
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.
Was alright
woke old geezers remove a select few songs from album because of jo jo rogaine. meekly meh
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!
KKona stuff
Their biggest strength is definitely their harmonies. I wish they'd utilise it a bit more.
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
somewhere between 3 & 4.
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.
It was very fun and was a whole adventure listening to the album
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
Couple of songs liked but a little odd
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
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.
Not totally available on spotify :/ but i liked what i heard. Bring back this kinda country
Not bad. Pretty much on par for CSNY
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.
Cool
Middle of the road for these guys
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
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.
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.
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
Not my vibe. It's fine though. 3/5
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
good vibe, like 'Woodstock' a lot. fun riffs, don't hear riffs like these anymore in music today.
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
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
This was better than I was expecting. Solid 70s folk.
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.
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.
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)
Good album with some great acoustic tracks. Very 70s.
Nice folk acoustic album, surprised I haven’t recognized many of these songs, easy listening.
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.
pretty chill, men merka ikke når spotify begynte å sppille nye sanger sååå ikke så remarkable hvis d gir mening
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.
Grudgingly I'll admit these songs are pretty great, even if three-quarters of the band are pretty dislikeable.
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.
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.
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.
half the album is missing on spotify
Foundational rock with a county vibe. Some nice guitar work. Highlight was Carry On.
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.
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)
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.
Enjoyable - our house will forever be associated with an advert from the 80s though
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.
3.5
Yeah mate alright solid blues rick shizzle
Nice for background music, nos my fav
Halvdelen af albummet mangler, men det der er er sgu meget godt
some nice songs but again not going to search this out again
fav: country girl
I couldn't listen to half of this (due to spotify licensing?) What I heard was OK but not special
Speravo in un po' più di epica o classicità
I'm not really getting anything super impactful from this.
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.
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
Bangers.
Nom d'album un peu meta je trouve
woodstock désastreux mais our house trop mignon
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
Good
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.
Something about these guys is distractingly passive. It seems like there's some great content being wrapped up in unnecessarily docile clothing.
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.
Been a while since I listened to this one but remember it being sound with ‘Helpless’ one of my standouts
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
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.
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.
Good oldie rock
Folk
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.
Gentle, folksy vibes. Good for background music when I have adults (like mom) visiting.
Meh
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.
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.
Soulful and good car-ride music
This album has some very good songs but not all.
Great classic rock folk blend
Very middle of the road
Smells like Boomer Spirit
Ik verveelde me nogal snel. Maar eigenlijk is de muziek wel oké
Didn't realise some of the songs were theirs.
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.
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.
Pretty good for country. Thankfully nothing like the new pop country crap.
Mleh
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.
This was good, not sure what else to say.
I liked it. Nothing really else to say
noniin. NONIIN... kyllähän ne MUSIIKKIA OSAA tehdä.. amerikkalainen SUPER RYHMÄ.. hehe. NO EI KYLLÄ KUMMONEN SAATANA OLE KUITENKAAN... VITTU SUPER HYPER PERRRKEELE:.... on muutama hyvä biisi mutta VITTU ALKO VITUTTAA VÄLILLÄ PISTÄÄ VITTU VIHAKSI OOTIN VÄHÄN PAREMPAA SAATANA!!!!!!!!tylsäää tylsää booooring boooring nooh... oli se ihan hyvä.... almost cut my hair paras
Kiva albumi, kaikki biisit erilaisia, kuitenkin sama soundi. Instrumenttien paikannus hyvin suunniteltua, aika analyyttiseltä kuullostaa. Spotifyssa ei ollu kaikkia kappaleita.
Four combustible egos combine to craft an album of the ages that served to embody the times; a generational work showcasing stars both past, then-present and future tense and a chronicle of what was and will never be again. Favorites: Carry On, Helpless, Woodstock, Déjà Vu, Our House, 4+20.
Doesn’t blow me away.
Ok
Beetje zoals Simon garfunkel
Écoute agréable, j’aime la voix de Young, mais ne m’a pas marquée
Always surprised when a classic album is so understated and uninteresting. I've heard songs here and there but am just fine with it. It's not bad, and objectively talented people made it, but I wonder if it gained popularity just because of the people who made it.
Another Neil Young record which fails to win me over. This just sounds like a group of guys who just write songs all day about anything that crosses their mind, and while some of them are good, there’s something forensic about that sort of practice. One track in particular sounds exactly like something off of Harvest (and not in a good way) but there is actually a decent amount of variation on this record. For that reason, it’s a bit of a disjointed, uneven listen.
Half missing on Spotify since Neil Young took his catalogue off of the platform but a pleasant enough listen
Hippy galore
A bit one-dimensional but great harmonies and always a good listen
Not my favorite from this group, but I am always impressed with their crisp harmonies and simplicity in their sound.
What a great super group. I really enjoyed the groove they put down for each track.
No strong feelings. Fine
good folky
Je n'aime pas tous ce qu'ils font, mais dans l'ensemble, je trouve que l'association entre ces musiciens est réussie, encore plus avec l'ajout de la touche rock de Young. J'aime bien les harmonies vocales qu'on retrouve sur Carry On, Déjà vu et Everybody I Love You. J'aime moins la slide guitare et la touche country qu'on retrouve sur Teach Your Children (heureusement la seule dans ce genre sur cet album). Donc pas mon genre habituel, mais fort probablement l'album du groupe que j'apprécie le plus.
nothing that breaks the mold, but something you can put on in the background without worrying too much about it
6.5 out of 10 didn’t know this was Neil Young
i liked this more than i expected to!
Nice happy music but a bit slow. 3 stars.
One terrific song (Our House)
It's a little bit of decent Neil Young, and a lot of generic country. Helpless is the only track that's really great all the way through.
Some good songs in there. Really liked almost cut my hair, but not really my kind of music.
Good but not my thing
I was never a impressed with this album as my contemporaries. Has a couple of good songs but mostly is too sweet. Much like their work with Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young's contributions stand out and Stephen Stills is horrifically bad.
Strong first side, then it kinda lost me
it’s csnl so you’re always guaranteed some quality music, but this wasnt anything special.
Listened to on 8/4/22 3.5/5 Favorite song: Teach Your Children, Our House The mix of these humans is so good but I wouldn’t say any part of the album was that memorable
Country-pop-rock de estilo americano. Tranquilo de escuchar y con buenas voces y melodías
It was a good listen to the whole album when I had only heard a few songs before.
It's unfortunate that the people with the confidence to perform in this manner have the largest egos.
Some great songs, but some real weak points and overall doesn’t feel as cohesive as some other CSN (excluding Y) albums
Starts out great, but was slightly disappointed by this. Excellent muscians but much of it didn't really excite
For sure, this was a classical week themed on this site. Unfortunately, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is not exactly my cup of tea. I have already tried some times; I got all their influence in modern music, and I like a lot of some solo production from the quartet, but the releases when they are all together, they are just ok.
Greit nok
This has at least three iconic folk rock songs direct from the popular hippie free-love consciousness of the end of the 60s. Pretty good stuff overall and a fine album to mellow out to. The trio really benefited from collaborating with Young, and vice versa, since based on the popularity of this album all their solo stuff sold better.
Never heard this before. Forgot Neil Young was in the band!
Fine
Enjoyed it, too bad it's not on Spotify. 3
Why does it feel so much longer than 36 minutes?
Sikäli sattui oikeat biisit youtuben listasta tulemaan niin oli ihan hauskaa rallattellua. Ei kyllä mitään takuita, että biisit oli oiketa....
Mellow stuff
Really good, love the opening bassline
I generally like CSN better with Neil Young in it. There are some really good songs on this album. I re-listened to "Carry On" just to hear the lead guitar (Stills, I think). Sometimes their pitch-perfect harmonies are almost too clean and sweet, which is a funny thing to say, but it's how I hear them. Very talented songwriters and strong performers. I don't listen to them anymore; listened to them a lot during my college years. I enjoyed the trip back in time while I listened to this again. It feels a little dated to me now and I don't expect I'll seek their music out again any time soon, but it's a good album.
I can't listen to this album in Spotify but I can say about this band is a referent.
Just okay
Album of country/blues rock tracks, for which the 60's and 70's apparently were very fond of. It's OK, but nothing special. 3/5
Decent album with a couple of stand-out tracks. Still don't particularly like Neil Young's voice - sounds like John Malkovich doing karaoke. I get the impression that Stephen Stills was the real talent here ...
Some songs I thought were absolute slappers (Our House comes to mind) but there were also a few duds in the tracklist
Country cannot go too wrong, but was not as impressive or melodic as expected...
Great vocals!
Standouts - Deja Vu; 4 + 20 Pretty standard classic rock sounds Some interesting lead guitar here and there
Man bekommt vielstimmig, was man einstimmig erwartet. Einstimmig fantastische Songs sind Young mit „Helpless“, Opener „Carry on“ und Titelsong „Deja Vu“. Zeitlos 3.4
Pretty good but Neil Young deleted a bunch of his library from Spotify so now I'll have to search the other songs on YouTube... but prolly not
1. Nice opening track 2. Meh 3. Sweet 4. Zzz 5. Nice intro, good rock track 6. Meh 7. Classic sing along chorus 8. Boring 9. :l 10. First half cool. Second half less
Best Song: Carry On. Kicks the album off with ethereal harmonies and a driving tempo. Worst Song: Helpless. Neil Young solo vocals do not stand up against the harmonies of the other songs. Overall: Meh. Starts with an interesting, "revolutionary-hippie" vibe that dies off for a slower atmosphere for the latter half of the album
I recognized a couple of songs. It was just alright. I didn't skip any of the songs.
Why did this album became such a commercial success? A. Neil Young joined the chat. B. D I V E R S I T Y (despite the fact that's it ultimately became inconsistent and messy) C. The previous album by the group was (probably) a good one D. because harmony E. uhmmm... it took them 800 hours to record it
I mean it was fine, not really my thing. This kind of rock/country is boring to me.
Good combo of singers and musicians, music that was very pleasing and a few great songs too. Liked Our House and 4 + 20 especially. Just didn't love it.
Classic.
Fine!
Bruh
Pretty solid, with some gems
Carry on and almost cut my hair were my favorites
OK, some good songs, I can see why people like it but not for me
Rating: 5/10 Best songs: Our house
3/5 naaaah
Classic. 3.5
Another good folk rock album. This one brings in Neil young who is great but I find this album a little bit more preachy and not as strong as CSN. Carry On Helpless and Deja Vu are all good. 6.5/10
What a very, very, very fine record.
old timey airy wistful montage music. No exceptional standouts for me here.
Some great stuff but those harmonies annoy sometimes
Not a huge fan of the sound but they certainly knew what they were doing
Decent album. I like Neil Young's voice
Our house is a very very very nice house song
Made it halfway through, kinda got bored, but it's iconic I guess
3.25
Hm. Not the biggest country fan here, and this album being 50 years old doesn't add much either.
Classic rock is classic. Even this one.
woodstock is great
Not my favorite, but still a good album.
I don't actually know that much about CSNY, other than they're status as a classic rock supergroup. But there was a lot of familiarity in these songs. So much so that I had to look up whether this was an album of cover songs. Seriously, Wikipedia? Are you sure that "Our House" isn't a cover of a British Invasion song? Is there no chance "Helpless" was originally a gospel song? Adding to that feeling is the supergroup-y nature of the tracks - each of the four members writing songs that feel very different. "Almost Cut My Hair" is completely forgettable. But "Teach Your Children" is timeless, and the harmonies on that song and a few others stand out head-and-shoulders above those prominently featuring one member. I'm gonna wait to weigh in on Neil Young's voice until we listen to a full album of just him. For now, let's just say his is not my favorite voice in CSNY. The songs that feel more like collaborations between the four band members are the best (even if the actual recording process wasn't so united).
Good stuff. Neil young makes this album so much better.
Mellow sound for the end of the week. 3*
This album is cool. but it's really not for me. I don't think it's bad but I'm not a super big fan. It feels really old, and I don't really digg the classic rock thing. So no disrespect to them or anyone else to enjoy this one, But for me it's a hard meh.
its okay
Thanks Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young for reminding me that if I ever want that hideously majestic mullet I've been dreaming of I've got to hold out with the scissors a bit longer. I'm not giving in an inch to fear 'cause I promised myself this year! :/ That was the only standout track for me, other than the obvious hit Our House which is GREAT. Deja Vu and 4+20 were nice chill tunes too. Country Girl was a pleasant Galactic Country® surprise (space western music?) but otherwise the album was sort of unremarkable to me at this time.
Con "Carry on" quest'album parte col botto. Subito dopo però perde un po' di carica con un pezzo troppo country e due ballate che un po' mi annoiano (però ci stanno dai). Poi riparte co "Woodstock" che ha uno di quei riffetti sfiziosi e porta avanti una serie di pezzi interessanti tipo "Deja Vu" il cui inizio mi ricorda quelle parti recitate sulle tabla indiane. Nel complesso quest'album mi è piaciuto tanto. Unici due nei sono quelli di non condividere come si evolvono alcune canzoni (es. Carry on, io l'avrei lasciata totalmente acustica) e di trovare alcune ballads poco interessanti. Mi trovo in bilico perché sento che 4 sia troppo e 3 troppo poco: darei 3.75 se potessi.
3 for now, but I think it'll grow on me
3.5/5
Good album. I LOVE "Helpless", which is the only song I was familiar with.
A folksy rock (heavy on the folk) album that I did not expect to recognise any songs from, but 'Our House' was the one. Not too out of place for an alternative radio station by today's standards. Best: Our House, Woodstock Worst: Almost Cut My Hair, Country Hair 2.5 stars
overall i liked the album, but one song aggravated me to a point where i now have to rate it a three. helpless- it was just so bad it ruined my energy on the whole album, but there were other great ones.
Alcuni bei pezzi in cui si sente il blues o arrangiamenti notevoli, alternati da polpettoni anni 70.
i listened to this in the sun shine like walking and it made me feel good. plus yk classic rock always is a win for me but still nothing like that wowed me
Tinha algumas expetativas para este álbum, gosto imenso do Almost Cut my Hair, mas as restantes músicas pouco tinham a ver com esta. Talvez seja expectativa, mas o álbum ficou aquém do pretendido. Tirando a música supra mencionada a melhor cantiga é o Country Girl. Nota:5/10
Good songs, not my cup of tea, but I like it. A little forgettable tho Favo song: 4 + 20
Familiar sounding, think I might have heard it before 🤔
Some great tunes - this is good Neil not bad Neil
Great musicianship and song writing.
Enjoyed that though not sure I'd listen to it again
Some great tunes - this is good Neil not bad Neil
I’m having a hard time distinguishing between if I like this or if I’ve just heard so many of these songs so many times that I think I must like it
I always had mixed feelings about CSNY. My best friend Rick (RIP) was THE biggest Neil fan in the world and always went on about how they disrespected him eg by positioning him out of the spotlight during concerts. Neil eventually demonstrated very clearly that he was the best of the four. Neil was too good and too cool to be on the outside looking in. I guess it's best to look at this as a CSN LP with a couple of songs thrown in by an outcast. Looking at it that way, I can say that CSN have excellent harmonies and wrote some charming and fun songs. Oh yeah, I can also say that one of those outcast songs (Helpless) happens to be the best song on the album.

classic CSNY
Niet slecht, maar de 4-stemmige nummers zijn toch ook wel een beetje gezapig. Hoog Arrow Classic Rock gehalte.
Perus ok pop/rock -lallattelua, varmaan jotain klassikko/pioneerikamaa, mutta ei tämä sen kummemmin iskenyt, mutta ei toisaalta ärsyttänytkään.
Boring first two tracks. Then two absolutely great tunes (which I think are new to me!). Helpless is right in my wheel arch! Love it! Deja Vu was dull. Two more classics in Our house (which I had heard before and 4 + 20. Love both of them. Fucking hell. Country girl is hurting my ears. too many drugs lads. The last track had potential but there is way too much going on. Like the rock voice guy agreeing with everything but hate the rest. 3/5 as the good tracks are really good!
This is fine. I like Neil Young, and consequently enjoyed his songs most (maybe as I knew them before hand). Generally, found this pleasant, but maybe a bit too polished and perfect. Lacks a little bit of edge/emotion.
Better than the Crosby Stills and Nash album i'd heard before. Maybe because I like Neil Young. First half better than the second
Hmm... No sé. suena medio Los Beatles, y por eso yo estoy fuera :V No, pues, no me llamó tanto, salvo por woodstock y Country girl. Se rescata también que hay variedad, o sea que hay sí algo de hard-rock, algo de folk, algo más balada, más pop, etc. Aun así no me genera mood.

This album is what I'd describe as 'something I wouldn't choose to put on myself but like it when someone does'. Would pair well with a doob. One to listen to if you want to feel cool and have other people know you're cool too. I got a little bored though but I have a short attention span
Vocal ente destacable. La música un tanto plana. Se antoja un jack Rola: Almost cut my hair y Woodstock
It was okay. Some good songs, but nothing spectacular.
Interesante pero no termina de cuajar. Muy variado en cuanto a influencias y propuesta.
Not bad
litt mye hest i monitor
3.5 | No soy gran fan de los "supergrupos." Aunque es interesante a veces ver qué sale con tanto talento aglomerado creo la mayor parte de las veces no funcionan simplemente porque la mayor aglomeración es de egos. Esto aplicó con CSNY (que de entrada mejora muchísimo añadiendo esa Y) con una discografía en realidad pequeña y con sonado escándalo sobre el milagro que fue siquiera sacar el disco. Aún así, sigue siendo muy interesante y muy bien hecho el trabajo. Creo que de los discos que han tocado está entre los más armoniosos (tal cual literal pensando en la definición de armonía como el equilibrio de sonidos y la combinación y secuencia de acordes), es literalmente muy suave al oído. Unos toques de psicodelia con mucho rock folk ofrecido por algunos de los mejores en el negocio. Inevitablemente como buen supergrupo se me hace que los trabajos individuales de cada quien brillan más a pesar de lo bueno del conjunto de partes. Se siente raro no tener mucho más que decir pero las canciones a pesar de no destacarse ninguna en particular son un conjunto muy bien armado. Lo más impresionante de todo esto es cómo David Crosby mantuvo el mismo look durante literalmente 50 años.
Beach boys meats old country, Helpless is a bop
Ok I guess. Nothing stands out for me.
Their house was a very very very fine house
I had always thought of these guys as an easy listening group, but this album was more similar to bands like Cream with it's heavier guitar riffs. I loved it. These guys are one of the best at harmonizing vocals.
Está bien chido el principio y luego sí me pierde un poco pero ya no me acuerdo cómo es que iba a calificar los discos.
Production: 12/20 Songwriting: 14/20 Innovation: 11/20 Bangers: 5/20 Emotional response: 12/20 =54 Quite enjoyed this tbf
super erster track, einige hits, in seiner gänze aber bisschen viel vocal-folk
Not really my cup of coffee.
I had high hopes for this album but it ended up just being alright to me
Not really my cup of tea, way to happy
Very good. At times seems dialed in, the story of how this was created kinda lends a hand to that idea. Talented musicians for sure. Near flawless, yet didn't capture my attention fully.
Este disco tiene una mezcla interesante de rock y folk. Como que es el tipo de música que debía haber estado haciendo Bob Dylan, si no hubiera estado tan ocupado maullando como gato y quejándose del sistema.
Que manera tan uniforme y limpia de juntar géneros musicales en grabaciones por separado, aportar cosas y que al final todo se escuche muy bien aunque sus egos eran inmensos. Sería lo mismo su hubieran trabajado todos juntos en un estudio?
Otro disco de Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young o cualquiera de sus combinatorias y permutaciones. No es malo, pero ya no sorprende. Se nota incluso más que en el anterior lo dispares que son las canciones dependiendo de quién fuera el creativo detrás. No me gusta nada el estilo vocal que hacen cuando cantan en coro, sin chiste, ni juego de notas ni armonías, nada más todos afinados en la misma nota.
Nice, but not mind blowing. Bordering on too folky for my taste
Good tracks, but lacks cohesiveness.
The slower tracks tend to drag a little, but the vocal harmonies and compositions still make this album a solid listen.
gostei do our house e do woodstock, pena q é muito folk pro meu gosto.
A classic Folk albums and nice voice harmonies.
Very twangy but classic rock. Recognized “Teach your Children” from The Office - Take Your Daughter to Work Day.
Ensikuuntelulla tämä jäi vähän sieluttomaksi ja ohueksi elämykseksi, vaikka teknisesti kaikki olikin kohdallaan. Onneksi annoin vielä pari lisämahdollisuutta, koska tällöin levy tuntui heräävän henkiin aivan eri tavalla. Ei edelleenkään mikään täyskymppi, mutta kuitenkin oikein mainiota laulantaa ja musisointia! Yksittäisistä biiseistä ei mikään tuntunut nousevan selvästi muiden yläpuolelle. Ehkä Country Girl oli sellainen jonka nimi piti erikseen tsekata kun kuulosti mukavalta.
Not exactly my cup of tea. I am a small fan of Neil Young and actually did not enjoy the songs he was on. Favorite song: 4+20.
Not ground breaking, but nice to listen too
Some hippy bullshit. Was pretty good though.
Songs were easy to listen to but none of them really stick with you.
decent i guess, easy listening
1970: Our House, Carry On
i liked a few songs off of here! some were kinda slow/boring
Very nice folk rock album. Closer to a 3.5
There are some nice things about it, but overall it just didn't ring my bell.
Seems like a bunch of pretentious guys tbh. I totally understand how this is a technically well-done album, but it didn't land for me. The melodies and songwriting were not compelling.
Some nice songs and some fairly boring songs, probably not an album I would listen to again though
This was ok. I want to like CSN&Y but apart from the obvious there was very little on here that grabbed me.
I like their harmonies, but I don’t really like Neil Young’s voice all that much. It was pretty short and to the point, and I liked the two songs I already knew (“Teach Your Children” and “Our House”) but, otherwise, it didn’t leave much of an impression.
4/10
beatles-esque, boring music with a pinch of country is not winning me over no matter how many times this list has insisted
Surprised i like this because neil young is running the show
Even back when I was a dumb middle schooler going through my sixties phase I wasn't very taken by CSNY. I've expanded my musical palette since then but CSNY still isn't my jam. I found everything on here boring and irritating except "Our House" which I maybe could like if I didn't hear it every week at work, and "4 + 20" which although I wouldn't rate as a great song was at least interesting to me. There's something about their harmonies that makes me want to get up and leave the room. David Crosby seems like he was a real turd but I did think it was pretty funny to read that he described "Almost Cut My Hair" as "the most juvenile lyrics" he'd ever written. No argument.
I'm tired of Crosby, Stills, Nash on this list. It might be a great album; I don't know because I have artist fatigue.
nooooooooooo. i just hate this boomer shit. 2/5
I liked the Neil Young parts
Mejor de lo que pensé. Hay cosas que en el mood adecuado pueden gustarme, no me desagrada. Sin embargo, no me enganchó ni un poco.
Painless. Innocuous. Forgettable with the exception of "Teach Your Children".
Sounds dated although a couple of good tracks
Meh
Проехали очередное кантри
For a super group it didn't sound that interesting. Best as half decent background music.
I know that I have listened to this album before. However, I don't remember any of it. You could say that I'm experiencing Deja Vu as I listen to it again.
