Reviews (page 12 of 14)
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
Surprised i like this because neil young is running the show
nooooooooooo. i just hate this boomer shit. 2/5
I liked the Neil Young parts
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.
deja vu? more like pee-yew
No, I didn't like this album either. Maybe it's just my mood right now, but after the first few tracks, I didn't feel like listening to the rest of the album. 2/5
Décevant, 1 tune sur 2 de bonne
Folky, country twanged rock with those classic vocal harmonies. It starts so slow. The recording also seems to push the vocals to the top of the mix, meaning I can barely hear some of the instruments. Nothing really sticks with me until the second half. Luckily from Woodstock onwards the album becomes a bit more experimental, with the proggy [deja-vu] being the standout. The Beatles-esque [our house] appears to be the real hit for many. It's every flavour of cosy and twee - not to my personal taste but I can respect the feelings. [4+20] is dark, folky ditty. It thankfully has one vocalist which makes it one of the best tracks in my book. [Country girl] returns to those proggy sensibilities - but for me the vocals are too busy and detract from some pleasing rhythm and melody. Final track [Everybody I love you!] Returns to the earlier album tendancies of vocals first and everything else is in the back. This is difficult for me to rate because I don't mind the bands sound. I struggle with the grating harmonies and their prominence in the mix. It's between a 2 and 3. I'm not seeking to put it on but probably listen to some songs again.
It sounds like they put some kind of damper on everything. The sound got old quickly. Our house and 4 + 20 are great songs
Tiene sus momentos. Me dió un poco de repelús ver a Neil Young, viejo choborra
Didn't liked it
Young var fed, resten var ligegyldigt.
Der er få gode tracks, men rigtig meget der slet ikke fungere for mig.
Not really my thing. Very mellow.
Passive rock and country blend, not really to my liking. Recording standards have improved so much that this feels very poorly presented without having to crank the volume. There's clearly some guitar noodling here for some folk to enjoy, track 3 for example feels like something that would have been great live with some weed. Could do with more exciting drumming though, very stable and unadventurous.
This was ok, but I really only liked when Graham Nash or Neil Young sang. I know and love the song Our House. I also knew Teach Your Children. I’m not a fan of Stephen Stills or David Crosby’s voice.
Коридоры пустых советских больниц. Хотел подобрать хотя бы оригинальное описание для того, что прослушал. Я очень старался вникнуть или может специально понять значимость данного альбома. Все напрасно: по моему мнению этот альбом мало чем отличается от сотен других идентичных очень похож по звучанию на его предшественника - bridge over trouble river. Их некорректно сравнивать, но там может зацепить вокал и этакая тягучесть альбома. Здесь - лично для меня очень пресный альбом. Поэтому оценка будет 3/10.
Fine not for me
It was okay, not really my thing
Ah zut ! Je pensais avoir fini les albums avec Stills, mais j'ignorais qu'il avait aussi joué en quartet avec Crosby, Nash et Young. Quartet ennuyeux comme la pluie, trop country/folk et pas assez rock, comme toutes les autres productions de ces personnages. =>2/5 J'espère cette fois avoir réellement fini les Stills, mais il me reste toujours 4 (!) Young à subir ...
I liked some of the songs, I dont listen to this genre very much but some of the songs sounded similar to david bowie songs
It was ok. Maybe I'll give it another go sometime in the future.
I enjoyed parts of this, especially Carry On and Woodstock and some of the production. But ultimately not for me.
Beautiful harmonies, solid songwriting, cool and clean folk vibe. But it’s almost too soft, comfortable and padded to really hit me emotionally. I definitely respect it, but I don’t think I’ll come back to it very often.
Наконец-то кантриговно
old slow album but still like the music
Oldies
This is soooo boring. It's so highly rated I assumed there would be more going on.
არც ერთი სიმღერა არ დამამახსოვრდა, კლასიკური მიდ 70იანების როკია, არაფერი განსაკუთრებული, ჭყიპინა გიტარა და მოსაწყენი ვოკალები, არავითარი ემოცია არ გამოიწვია ჩემში, 5/10
It was a short unmemorable album
Not a fan. Reminded me of The Who and kind of the Beatles but not as good. Was shocked to hear Our House, had no idea that was this band.
Decent sound but not my taste.
I do not like these men.
Was ok.
Helt okej, lite för gammalmodig
Our House e guete Klassiker. Bim Rest chli unsicher wasi devo halte söll. Paar zu Country, Paar no e solidi büez. S album het mi aber doch chli zwenig interessiert und git dasmal en halbe punkt für de Crosby, en halbe für de Stills, en halbe für de Nash und en halbe für de Young
Expected this one to be pretty good. It wasnt.
Probably felt euphoric and revelatory if you were 13-23, quite high, and the world was in shambles.
2.5/5 It was ok. Nothing amazing. Very simple classic rock.
Not for me really. But I guess I like that it's pretty charming
Luckily it had Helpless
This album is probably on here for a very specific song or two. I prefer solo Neil Young.
nao foi do meu agrado
A good doble intro with "Carry On / Questions", I like when musicians merge two different songs (eg. McCartney in "Ram"). The rest is a bit too hippie folk rock for me. Maybe I'll listen to it again in the future. 2.75/ 5
Carry on - Legal, mas não escutaria normalmente. Um rock meio beatles. Teach your Children - Muito lenta, meio countr. Não é minha vibe No geral, não gostei
Another instant 70s soundtrack .Gave it one more star because of 'Our House' which I have always loved . Prefer the Simon and Garfunkel type ones . Mostly forgettable .
Another one of the supposed 'big guns' that ended up being a bit underwhelming.
I don’t really care about this band
well i listened to it at night and i needed songs that were not so loud, so maybe thats why i gave some songs higher score that i normally would do. to be honest, it is not a bad album, im just not into rock n roll thats why i couldnt really enjoy it to the fullest. carry on - it gets good in the middle of the song. great harmonization. you cant listen to this with your headphones on tho lol. dont know if i would add it to my playlist - 3/5 teach your children - pretty song. not my style. wouldnt add it to my playlist - 2/5 almost cut my hair - good song. dont like the melody. wouldnt add it to my playlist. - 4/5 helpless - nothing to say. beatiful song. would add it to my playlist - 4/5 woodstock - loved it. i can tell its from the 70. would add it to my playlist - 4,5/5 deja vu - sounds like a fairy tale as they walk through the forest in search of something. liked it. dont know if i would add it to my playlist - ?/5 our house - such a cute song. would add it to my playlist - 4/5 4 + 20 - found it boring - 1,5/5 country girl - wow okay not bad. good one but dont know if i would add it to my playlist. everybody i love you - good one. you cant listen to this one with your headphones on either. wouldnt add it to my playlist tho. - 4/5
I Liked "Almost Cut My Hair" and "Helpless", but other than this I wasnt really all that engaged by this one.
This was a solid album, I enjoy this aesthetic of music so I enjoyed listening to it, however I wouldn’t rlly listen to it again except for a few songs. The last half of the album is def stronger than the first one. Fav song: Woodstock
альбом хорош, но не сошелся с моими вкусами
Carry on and teach your children ☆☆☆☆
adding Young to this trio did not improve the music, Crosby, Stills & Gash
Not the biggest folk fan, I liked this more than expected. It's probably the more "rock" adjacent nature of the project, with tracks like Woodstock having a bit more bite to them, that worked for me. But it just feels a bit like a more folksy Beatles, which I can understand being popular at the time, but does absolutely nothing for me personally. The harmonies are nice, but are utterly unremarkable for me. And, outside of some spicier exceptions (such as the titular Deja Vu), the production just feels so slow and one note. I don't know. People seem to rave about Niel Young for his unique singing style and intimately personal lyrics. Yet this album feels like a supergroup just cashing in on replicating a trendy sound without really doing anything to it.
"Our House", the only song of theirs I ever truly liked is on this album DEJA VU. The rest of this album is insufferable hippie shit that my ears cannot abide.
Boring
Height of sophistication for late 60s hippies. I now understand why Neil Young won't have anything to do wit the other three. It's not that he hates them, just that he doesn't want to inflict this dreadful noise of the world again.
definitely not something i would normally listen to & will probably never listen to again but i liked the experience
103/1001 First listen. I don’t know what these hippies are on about. I suspect this is appreciated more for the lyrics. The music doesn’t do much for me. Lovely harmonizing though. The addition of Young doesn’t up my rating from the C,S&N album a month ago. 4/10
1. Carry on 5/10 2. Teach your children 5/10 посиделки на костре в лагере, где вожатые придумали свои песни и поют их детям на гитаре, пока те жарят зефирки 3. Almost Cut My Hair 5.2/10 ух, как драматизма нагнали голосом, ну любили раньше со струнами поиграть, ну не нравится это мне 4. Helpless 4/10 almost умер со скуки, нравятся мелодики обыгранные в разных инструментах 5. Woodstock 5/10 хз 6. Deja Vu 6.8/10 начало огонь, но развитие хз 7. Our house 6.5/10 мило, уютно, тепло 8. 4+20 7/10 красиво, загадочно, тот же теплый костер 9. Country Girl 4.6/10 ну кмон, только зазвучал голос. уже пропал запал, который сделала музыка, ну хз, какой-то не метч, музыка огонь, но голос не здешний, вот правда костер, где поют все по очереди, не важно, умеешь - не умеешь. Под настроение 10. Everybody I Love You 4/10
Boy howdy, I just don’t care for CSN! Glad Neil would soon escape this treachery.
I would guess even the members of CSNY only like a handful of songs off of this album. This is the epitome of boomer music. This album told me to knock on doors until I found a job. This album texted me on the 2nd day of the month to ask why my rent is late. This album specifies the race of every non-white person in the story it's telling. This album campaigned for McGovern but voted for Trump.
I hate these guys
I've never been massively sold on Young and his contemporaries, and this album didn't move the needle for me. Woodstock is a classic obviously.
This album is ok. But even the best songs here have better cover versions.
Too country, too cowboy not my style
Gear: Abyss DIANA MR Artwork: 🐕🤠📸 Production (2021 Remaster): 🎧😘🤌 Music: 😐😬😣 Rating: 🦴🦴(🦴)/5
Didn't catch me. Felt very similar the whole way. Not my kind of folk?
Well, now I’ve heard a CSNY album.
4/10 - it's ok, nothing to write home about, only know the second song because of the office which is the highlight
Decent, but for a supergroup not a ton of variety.
It was good, good for summer with your grandparents but not for me on a regular basis.
