Deja Vu

A bit bland ;(

I appreciate a 30-minute album for a first-time listen-through. It was okay, I bet if I really listened to the words I would get the story, I believe it had deeper meaning in the lyrics.

need to relisten but not bad. vibe is niche and the recommended songs after were also a vibe

it's not terrible, but i'm just not impressed.

альбом шоб заснути онестлі

Ем, застаре навіть для мене)

I could not tell you a single thing about this album. Didn’t hate every second though so it’s got to get an extra point for that.

A couple good songs, great vocals

A mix between a country farmer/Beatles vibe but none of the songs were overly similar so a nice change from the last few albums. Just like a bubblegum ice cream on a hot summers day-not my go to flavour but still refreshing.

first album of the project that i'm passingly familiar with teach your children, the home, woodstock are the most tolerable teach your children and the home were songs i already knew

Sometimes I feel bad about it, but I am hugely indifferent to any of the work of Neil Young.

I'm sure there are those doing the project who are quite nostalgic about this album. But let's be honest, it's a bit boring isn't it.

Che tiene que aparecer algo distinto ooh Nota: 2.3

Deja Vu is right. I've had quite enough of Bing Crosby, Stephen Stills, Wyatt Nash, and Neil Young. Or whoever. I guess it's better than another Led Zeppelin, but looking at this album cover is just like, ugh. I feel like we've already had this exact album. We definitely had 'Teach Your Children' on another album of theirs (?). Are these all redos of songs from their previous albums? Is this where Taylor Swift got it from? It's not clear to me. Anyway, maybe it's just because I'm in a bad mood, but this isn't quite a 3 for me. Terrible 2s. Sorry for you, CSN(Y), try me again with your next 10 albums on this list, I'm sure. Highlight: 'Teach Your Children', 'Our House' (only because it's in the Simpsons)

1. carry - 1.5 2. teach - 1.5 3. hair -1 4. Help - 1.5 5. Woodstock - 1.5 6. Dejavu - 1 7. House -1.5 8. Twenty - 1.5 9. Country -2 10. Everybody - 1

Despite the names involved, this comes off as a pretty unremarkable folk rock record. It doesn't do anything all that new musically, so you'd hope for the songwriting to be top notch. But the songwriting isn't all that special either. The group members' harmonies are pleasant, but they're not present on every track. Outside of "Helpless," which sounds like a classic if by-the-numbers Neil Young song, the slower songs aren't that moving. The more rocking guitar moments are fun, but those moments mostly just act as accents for songs; the one song that does get into a guitar groove is a Joni Mitchell cover. Other songs like "Almost Cut My Hair" just sound clumsy, lyrically and musically. While this was probably a big event album at the time and signaled some kind of turning point in rock music, it hasn't held up as noteworthy all these years later.

Nicely recorded and well performed but, for me, it's standard hippy fare that doesn't stand out. Yes, the you can hear the intricacies in the playing and vocal harmonies but the songs don't appeal.

Rating: 2.2 Your 4 sad grandfathers sit around a campfire and slow grind on their acoustic guitars and wail about not being able to get hoes. I do not care.

Maybe this is because I have modern ears but this feels like most 70s slop that sounds like a bunch of rejects from the Rumours album by Fleetwood Mac. I liked "Our House" from this album but I had already heard it before. Meh.

2/5 Classic and polished folk rock with catchy harmonies and melodies. Songs like “Almost Cut My Hair”, “Woodstock”, “Everybody I Love You” offer some soulful and blues rock as well. Also, ten songs for about a half hour is always doable. As great as the personnel is there’s still an element about the music that’s forgettable and bland as it doesn’t standout to me aside from maybe a few songs. Not a fan of Neil Young’s voice either.

As a Neil fan, the mystery with the “Y” part of this supergroup has always been, uh, why? I get having his voice and set of hands live, but he’s barely on the record vocally except on his own two tracks, otherwise adding sporadic guitar and other instrumentation throughout. That this is the best-selling release for any of them in any of their projects sure is a testament to that moment in post-60s boomer culture. This is all a bit too hippie dippie canyon bullshit for me, especially the Croz tracks RIP, but the harmonies are incredible throughout.

Another snoozefest

Eh

Can, Stop, Now, Yes.

It's ok I guess

The vocal harmonies are nice and all but this album just about put me to sleep

Up front, I am not a folk rock fan. I get that the harmonies and the meticulously played songs highlight why this album made the list. However, the meticulous perfection of the album is really its biggest flaw. In life as in music it is the imperfections, the rough edges, that make us and music interesting. This is a perfectly dull record. The most interesting tracks turn out to be those where the vocals are not perfect and the lyrics not so sunny. Almost Cut My Hair - a hippie anti-anthem with its, in my mind the best track on the record. Overtly political, a little paranoid, and definitely anachronistic, it captures a moment. Similarly, Neil Young’s version of Helpless evokes a sense of loss and is an album highlight. I ask myself with every one of the albums if I would listen to the record again. The answer in this case is no. This LP fits the era it was released perfectly. I first encountered this record in 1974, while I was still a teen, and instantly rejected it for more interesting and exciting records and songs. Sure, it was played. Woodstock, Teach Your Chikden and Our House were all over Canadian radio and you could not escape those songs. But for me it was soulless and dull. A life of experience has not changed that opinion. The people who enjoyed this record are likely in their late 70s or early 80s. This record will die with them.

Wasn't looking forward to it, didn't enjoy at it all

Did not like the sound when they all sang together, preferred to hear their individual voices. Played in the background until it ended.

I'm so tired of old white dude rock on this list

Good harmonies, and representative of rock music of that era, but just so bland.

Lots of songs I’ve heard from this album. I’ve avoided listening to it for decades. I’m glad I got to have so much of my life where I didn’t have to listen to this. Sadly yesterday was the last day of my life where I hadn’t heard this all the way through. Neil Young songs are ok but sound like b-sides from his better albums. Other music is good harmonies but lyrics that are some of the dumbest I have ever heard, even by pop music standards.

Why does this algorithm keep torturing me with Neil Young? Seriously, how many albums of his do we need to hear before we die? Sure, this particular album is tempered by some of his friends, but still.

I really hate the energy of this album. It’s gives me the following vibe: young stubborn idealistic boomers thinking they’re gonna change the world with their minor “protests” and hippy bullshit, but they ain’t gonna do shit. Refusing to cut your hair doesn’t make you a revolutionary. It just makes you sound like a childish dipshit (ya, I mean you David Crosby). In actuality, these boomers are going to buy in and dominate us all but they just don’t know it yet… but hey they refused to cut their hair, so they’re fuckin truly principled counter culture icons I guess. Important note, I’m not putting Neil Young in this description, that man is one of the most principled people in music. He’s stubborn as hell and I respect that. He’s still crankin’ out protest music to this day. He’s never stopped trying to change the world with music. Unfortunately the new stuff is terrible, but I respect the effort. Anyways… It’s the other three members who seem like wieners… especially David Crosby. He has 2 of the worst songs on this thing… the aforementioned hair cutting song and deja vu (the scatting intro is a huge no for me). It’s just pretentious, self righteous bullshit. It’s not for me. Also I watched a Stern interview where he talked about how he screwed up his relationship with Joni Mitchell because he was jealous of how much better her songs were than his… it hurt his ego… what a loser. The best songs on this are Helpless (a Neil song), Woodstock (a Joni song) and Our House (a Nash song). The rest of the album is fine… except the Crosby songs… obviously. Helpless is this beautiful little folk country song about Neil’s childhood in small town Ontario. It’s a Canadian classic. The harmonies from the other 3 on the chorus enhance what is already a great song. It’s by far my favourite song on the album. Woodstock is just a great folk rock banger with a sticky chorus. And Our House is this sweet little piano ballad that also has a theatrical McCartney vibe to it. I really dig it. I didn’t know it going into this album. Other notable songs: Country girl feels like a Young b-side, but it’s still solid AND the first half of the closer, everybody I love you, is good… but then it hits this big lame hippy “love” chorus that brings the track down. This band has been way over mythologized. I looked at their discography… there are almost as many hits compilations as there are actual albums. And Young is only on 2 of the albums… this one and the shitty 80s one. Way too much hype and talk has been given to covering this mediocre supergroup. Whoever was doing PR for this band deserves a god damn medal. I looked at their greatest hits and if you cut the Neil/Joni songs, all you have is Helplessly Hoping and Our House. The rest is kinda shit. It’s tough to score this one. It has 3 amazing songs. 2 shit ones. And the rest is a mixed bag. But those 3 big songs are just really really great. I’m feeling a 2.5… rounding down because of Crosby.

Such an odd mix of styles. Some tracks sound like completely different bands, recorded in different studios, in different years. Love the Young, not so much the Crosby, Stills, or Nash.

They have amazing harmonies, but I can't stand Neil Young.

Kind of bad cause its boring

Sure, influential - let's go with that.

Eh probably just the wrong day for this genre but wasn’t feeling it

Okayish but palls after a while.

thought it would be a little bit more prolific. A bit mellow overall.

I almost def caught this in the wrong days mid vacation but it failed to Grab my attention in the ways their other works had

I can see the appeal. Not overly interesting to me.

it's wild to think that this music was once popular. "Almost Cut My Hair" is the perfect example of generational distance

Some good songs - okay

Pretty good, maybe not as good as their debut

Did not really feel this one (and like some Neil Young quite a bit)... don't think I will come back to it.

I thought the generator is bugged, when I heard Teach Your Children again, but no, it is just same guys +1 giving me a Deja Vu. Contrary to common opinion, I actually prefer their earlier sound as just CSN.

A collection of CSNY's middest hits

🙂‍↔️

I respect singing in harmonies. Otherwise rather dull album

I already feel like Im gonna hate it before hearing one single note. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, not as folkey or country as I feared, but still quite uneasy listen.

I don't know about this one... They are all fine songwriters on their own, although I can't say am I big fan of any of them. This album, unlike so many others from the era, is still very highly regarded and frequently discussed in music circles today. For that reason alone, I may have to revisit it someday, but for some reason this type of music just fails to elicit any sort of response from me, it's simply kinda there. Key tracks: Our House

This album feels like I *should* love it. I love all the component pieces, but put together it just sounds... I dunno. Not for me.

Boring

Parempi kuin se harmoninen höttö, jolta tämä aluksi vaikuttaa. Esim. kaksi ekaa biisiä avautuvat toisella kuuntelulla - sikäli kuin niissä on mitä avata - eikä kaikki ole Neilin varassa. Miinusta nimikkokappaleesta. 2,5

Also felt very generic. Opener was good though

Passande titel. Så långt ifrån något nydanande man kan komma. Musicerande för musicerandets egen skull. De envisas med att brist ut i körsång jämt och ständigt, gärna kombinerat med ändlösa gitarrsolon. En låt om att inte klippa året. Jag ångrar inte att jag skänkte LP:n till välgörenhet. En svag 2:a i betyg.

Had songs that remind me of childhood. I like 'Teach Your Children' 'Ohio' is hitting different in June of 2025 CSNY is something I can take in small doses but a while album of the vocal harmony thing gets tired

Their second album. Middle of the road Americana, folky type stuff. The musicianship is great obviously with these guys. Woodstock is a decent track. A hippy long hair song. Our House is a wonderful track. THE outstanding song. I really want these super talented guys to reach out and grab me but they just don't on this album. Well, only on one song.

Easy listening. The stand out tracks for me are those written by Crosby.

Oh dear, I've never understood why so many people of my age revere CSN(&Y)... And after listening to this period piece, I still don't 😐

Nice harmony singing. That‘s it. Fav: Country Girl

Its ok but not my musice type

Not something I loved spending time with. Didn't love any element, though some nice melodies and guitar work every now and again.

Rustige muziek. Er zullen vast mensen van houden, maar ik vind het wel heel erg rustig en misschien zelfs een beetje saai. **

This is #day277 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and... no surprise this one's called Deja Vu, since the first time I got Crosby, Stills & Nash was way back on #day11, and I gave that a 2. Today it's Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, though, so not exactly déjà vu, right? Neil Young is hard to mistake. I like his "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)," but that came later. Still, I'm not sure I can go higher than a 3 here. This is a 2 out of 5. That is a lovely doggo on the cover, though. Looking forward to #day278.

There were a couple of songs which I enjoyed but not high enough energy for me

While this isn't bad at all, it's not necessarily my cup of tea. While it isn't Vietnam War draft dodging music, it's not exactly folk, either. At time it hits that sweet spot ("Helpless" & "Deja Vu",) but other times I'm just left sitting there. Thankfully, it's only 36 minutes.

Nothing stood out to me, it was like background music

its a shame because I really enjoyed parts of this album, but every time I hear Neil Young's voice a shiver of rage runs down my spine

It was alright

First three songs: oh this is better than I thought it would be. Then, fucking Neil young. I have no idea what he brings to this band other than one of the whiniest voices in pop culture. Rest of the album 3, he brings it down to a 2

ashamed to admit I found this album a bit boring.

I liked this album more than anything else we’ve listened to that featured Neil Young. I’ve said before that Neil Young’s is far more suited to predominantly acoustic music, and this album continued to prove that true. There’s some dark folk vibes throughout this album that resonate at times, but it’s a little disjointed overall. It almost feels more like a compilation of the four artists, rather than a cohesive body of work. I’m not entirely convinced that this album deserves to be on this list, but I guess there’s a lot worse. 2*

Partially listened before Favourite tracks: Woodstock, Our House, Country Girl

Nothing to stir any excitement. Lyricists just don't do ot for me

I would never listen to this album on my own. I can recognize Neil Young's voice and I do not know how.

Interesting story behind the production of this, but otherwise this sounds like what it is, the transition from the Woodstock era to the rock of the 70s. It's all fine but not special for me, although looking at various comments it clearly means a lot to some people and it's one of those albums that encapsulates an era. Country Girl is the stand-out tune for me, it builds up and goes somewhere while most of the rest of the tracks stay pretty level musically.

Classic to a point, but unfortunately more of the same.

I don't know. Seems disjointed to me. Some songs are good. Some classics. Some not good at all.

Honestly was underwhelmed. I like our house but other than that nothing was bad just not my cup of tea.

Why do people like this??

How four guys can put their talents and minds together to create one of the most boring albums of all time is impressive in itself. I guess you have to eat kale salad to enjoy this.

Neil Young sings like a 3rd grader

Not my cup of tea.

Music your grandpa will love.

looking at the cover, a lot of things are happening. This is the first time I’m hearing about this band. So I did some research and read pretty much everything about David Crosby, how he was part of the Byrds and on the entire band, how it formed etc. Have had my fair share of listening to folk (Bob Dylan, The Mamas and The Papas, loved them both) Usually whenever I listen to an album I try to find one song that hits per say, I vibe with it basically and can listen to it all over again. So far all the albums I have listened to with this generator, I have found at least one song that really resonated with me. This album didn't have any of it, although the last one (Everybody I Love you) had some kick to it. Overall, I wasn't really impressed.

Oh, the harmonies! Don't think I'd listen to this album again though.

2nd star for the line "Let my freak flag fly".

I am usually very wary of "supergroups", I find that it tends to be more of a hype bubble than mych substance to it. I find thr same here. Apparently this album was wildly praised and insanely acclaimed. I find it ok, it is pleasant enough, but really doesn't do much in any direction.

Eh, forgettable.

Oh man, this country and western music is killing me. Slide guitar and harmony vocals, I feel like I'm going to be sick. Something rockier flashes up a few times, but it disappears almost immediately. I can listen to it, but I have to have had breakfast beforehand, on an empty stomach, no. Do I give it stars, fine, because Neil Young is in it. But no more than 2. I really have to eat something.

I didn't like this album. It was very 'soft'

i liked some of the songs but overall i found the album pretty boring

It was stale, and they also recorded the album with way too low of a volume. One, or two decent songs isn't enough for a higher rating. Favorite Song: "Deja Vu".

# Playlist Track - Our House # Notes - A bit slow and repetitive. - I can't dig the harmonies in every single song. Just not my thing. - I HATED the chorus on "Country Girl".

Starts weak (especially the insufferable "Teach Your Children"), but gets better as it goes along. I can't imagine listening to this album again, let alone being a member of the band and having to perform these songs for 45+ years. I know CSNY were all the rage in the Woodstock era, but I guess you had to be there.

Not very memorable again.

Not bad

The times when it shines are amazing. Those harmonies man. But then there’s songs like Almost Cut My Hair, a truly terrible song about being an annoying hippy. Standing up for something? What? Oh something completely immaterial. Shut the fuck up. And then after that Neil Young shits all over it with Helpless. One of the problems with a super group like this is some members SHOULDN’T be given equal footing or in this case writing credit. Stick to your lane. It makes the whole project inconsistent. Blegh

Country rock. It was alright, nothing really stood out to me personally.

Nah

Opening song bangs (Carry On). Unsurprisingly, the Neil Young parts are the best. The rest is replacement level 60s folk rock.

My parents subjected me to CSN&Y too much when I was a kid and I hated it. I realize that technically this is decent songwriting and musicianship, but I just can't. Especially Teach Your Children. Oh lord. No.

I hate this album. It's super lame. I mean the whole sound of it is just so cheesy and dated. The musicianship is solid but this genre just does nothing for me. The vocals are mostly lauded but I find them to be so stereotypical for this genre and time period. Not every song needs everyone in the band to sing all at the same time. The saving grace was Neil Young's contributions and the songs where his vocals are (mostly) solo are the best. But even then, the chorus rolls around and we have a sing-along again. CS&N were so much worse without him, so this album has that going for it I guess. There are some excellent guitar parts (mostly thanks to Neil Young) but that's not really enough to keep it from just being uninteresting. I feel like all the boomers that love this album love it purely for nostalgic reasons, and that's valid (for them) I guess - I'm sure there are plenty of records I like just for the nostalgia. But listening to this record 54 years later, it doesn't have anything that would make me ever want to put it on again. 2.25/5 rounding down.

Unfamiliar. Fave song: Our House. Hmm would rate it 2. Other highlights almost cut my hair (I liked the guitar), Last minute of Deju Vu. 4+20 (mellow, nice story). Can see how some people would like this but honestly as a whole not my vibe. I was happy when the last song came on.

Supremely bland. 3/10

Meh

Dull

I'm about one tenth of the way through this list, and the sheer volume of folk and folk tinged albums is almost embarrassing. Other forms of music exist! That being said, the track "Helpless" by Neil Young is good. It's no wonder Young has managed a career spanning decades while the others remain relics.

This was painful.

It’s been over a month since my last Neil Young related album; I was getting worried. This has been my favorite so far — only 36 minutes long! Four stars for the run time, five stars for David Crosby’s hat, two star for the ones who aren’t Crosby and Young, minus 19 stars for that song about teaching children well.

All sounds the same

I didn’t find anything bad on this but it also came across as pretty forgettable. Two songs I loved but everything else was just there. 2.5/5

meh. 3rd song is decent and had it in one of my playlists already but rest is a snoozer

So so

First time listening to a CSN(+Y) album. So far I've given a 5 to Crosby, a 3 to Stills, and a 2 to Young+Crazy Horse, whose upper-register singing voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Nash remains an enigma, but I get the feeling he's a little too twee and whimsical for my liking, like McCartney's bad days. This album has done nothing to change my beliefs, although I think given enough time I can build a compilation I enjoy. S: Almost Cut My Hair A: Country Girl B: Deja Vu, 4+20 C: Carry On, Woodstock, Everybody I Love You D: Helpless, Our House F: Teach Your Children

Not my style but chill

Classic, but I think I should have been alive at the time to really enjoy it.

Really don't like Neil Young's voice

This album unfortunately doesn’t appeal to me as much as I feel like it should. I love Neil Young and respect the hell out of him, but Déjà Vu sort of pales to CSN’s 1969 debut without Young. I think the live 4 Way Street with Young is the best that the group has, but that also features a lot of Young’s solo stuff performed live. It really surprises me that Déjà Vu is the best-selling album of any of the members’ careers, but I suppose I can be glad for that because it furthered Young’s career in particular and allowed him to record and release some of his best music later in the 70s and beyond.

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

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

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

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

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

Horny for harmony

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

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

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

Meh

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

Too bland for me.

Meh... Got bored quickly

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

Not for me but I appreciate what they did for music

Better than I thought it would be, probably because it wasn't as 'Country' as I thought it would be. It was also helped by NY having to share the burden of singing with the other 3. Some really good tunes on here, so it gets a high 2.

Almost cut my hair feels like somebody just got high and wrote down the first things that came to their mind, then they wrote music behind it. I like the mix between electric guitar solos and folksy wholesome music, but it also made it so I couldn’t figure out the identity of the group. Four-part harmony? Deja Vu is super catchy. In general I liked the songs, but nothing to set it apart from other decent albums.

Like this album (or at least what I could listen to) I will keep it short and sweet. I’m always a fan of the oldies but as a wise philosopher DD Freer once said, since the advent of modern music, it just didn’t resonate with me enough to get my music juices goin (I added that last bit but u know what I mean)

Listened to it all the way through at once on YouTube. I thought it was fine. Definitely appeared older and was not as timeless as some of the other older albums on here. I thought it was easy listening but not specifically compelling.

Meh. Okay.

It's funky, I like it. The songs all sounded the same though which I'm not too big a fan of, though half of the album wasn't available on Spotify which could change things. I'll probably revisit another day to listen to the rest.

Oldies!

super m of the 1970s

Meh

Hajutonta ja mautonta vanhaa rokkia, ei innosta.

Good ensemble but most of the songs were not my vibe.

Short album, not super memorable

Hmmm about half this album is missing from Spotify, so its not getting a fair shake. Still what I heard did not impress. For being a supergroup this outing felt distinctly average, maybe the best if the content is missing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Favorite track was almost cut my hair

Meh...

A lot of tracks didn’t load on Spotify and overall just wasn’t really for me

Artist yes, album not so much. To listen again

I don't hear any Neil Young here. The guy is good. But the rest is meh at best. This"supergroup" is missing a key component or two.

Just like their debut, it just doesn’t stick on me. It just goes in one ear and out the other. It sounds like a lamer version of The Band.

definitely from the 70's. cool music but overall it wasn't for me. I can see where the enjoyment would come from tho. Based on this, 6.5/10

Our House was cracking. The rest I really couldnt tell you.

boring as sin

I prefer Crosby, Stills and Nash

wasn't terrible but not for me.

Not bad. Bit too country

Not my cup of tea, but I didn't mind listening to it.

Not bad

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.

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.

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.

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.

too much folk for me...

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.

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

bored me to tears and most missing from spotify

Reminded me of the beatles

Pants

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

Pretty boring to be honest

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.”

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

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

Didn't really hook me at all

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.

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

Bit too folky for me

🙂

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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....

Still not really my cup of tea.

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.

I have never listened to any Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Nothing any of them have ever done. I already kinda had a grudge against them for never knowing if Young was included in the name or what the deal with that was... that said this is pretty good to start. They lose me when they lean more heavily into the country and western sound but I don't begrudge them for it since I'm assuming it's their style. It's a masterfully made album with clearly talented songwriters and musicians, its not a fantastic album for me but again I enjoyed a lot of this.

6/10

bof

Only half the album was on Spotify. Bits I heard were fine nothing more.

Shrugging person emoji. I felt nothing.

It was ok

The run of 60s/70s albums I've had is unfortunately blurring them all into one, this one being no exception.

Fant ikkje på spotify, trudde da skulle bli plagsomt å høyra på youtube men da va ingen reklame??? Har aldri skjønt greio med neil young om da e lov å sei Men kult at han fjerna seg fra Spotify

Kyllä tää toimi päällisin puolin. Millekään jalustalle ei voi nostaa - hyvässä eikä pahassakaan, mut jotain tiukempaa olis tolta kokoonpanolta odottanut

Déjà Vu is the second album by folk rock group Crosby, Stills & Nash, and the first album as a quartet including Neil Young. The album has been certified 7x platinum and is the best-selling album of each member's career. The popularity of this album helped boost the sales of the solo albums released later on by each member. Déjà Vu is relaxed, but forceful with its music. Neil Young's guitar carried the album more than the harmonies did, but I appreciated all of it in its entirety. A soothing album that holds a good deal of nostalgia for 60's-70's America. It's not my go to album at all, but I won't tell someone to turn it off either.

Grating. Real 70s stink with the vocal harmonies and slide guitar.

It was alright. A few mega-hits I've heard a million times before. It's a little too folky, a bit too much harmonized vocals for my taste. But ok, overall.

Fine but a little bit bland. Had to source outside of Spotify, probably wasn't worth it

Helpless and Our House are good like, just can't stand much of Neil Young like, man's voice really grates on us.

It was interesting but not my cup of tea. I was surprised that I knew a couple of the songs.

Didn't enjoy.

Not for me

Rätt tråkig

Only one song I liked

meh. didnt make me feel anything, but pretty catchy

I like this "Country Girl" song, it's got a very sprawling narrative feel to it.

скучный

Boring.

Das meiste kennt man ja. Déjà Vu ist ein sehr geiler Song, denn ich vorher nicht kannte. Der Rest ist schon arg gebügelt und klingt besser, als er geschrieben ist.

There is something about this folksy rock that sat well with me but overall I wasn't a huge fan of this album. I can imagine this being a big hit when it came out, there are a lot of good 70's themes in here for all the liberteens who probably jammed out to this. For me, there wasn't anything that exciting about it except for the spooky album cover that appears to be like an old western (or maybe eastern Appalachian) scene. The men on the far right and left also both look terrifying.

It's alright, quite boring

It would feel churlish to complain too hard about this; the whole thing has a sepia tinged, mid-tempo pleasantness about it that is hard to dislike. But at the same time, it’s hard to get too excited about. Does music need to set your pulse racing with every sound? Of course not, but it needs to make you feel something. This all feels so comfortably within this talented array of musicians’ wheelhouse, and I find it hard to connect with Competent Musicianship, where that Competent Musicianship is the only aspect in play.

Not this collection of dudes again. I've liked their individual work much more than them together - it's just too much for me. They're on this list way too much

Saved Prior: Teach Your Children (kinda. I saved a version on the CSN deluxe version that I like a lot more without realizing that it came from this album. Talk about Deja Vu) Off Rip: 4 + 20, Country Girl, Everybody I Love You Cutting Edge: Carry On Overall Notes: Catastrophically, Superbly, Normal. Y? I couldn't tell you. (CSNY?? Get it???) These guys have to be one of the most overrated acts of all time. Were they the first people to think of harmonizing while playing guitars? I genuinely do not understand their insane critical and commercial success. Maybe I'm failing to grasp how wide reaching their influence is, because they sound so NORMAL looking back at them. These guys are the boomer band to end all boomer bands. Not that it's terribly bad, it just is.

several familiar songs; not sure how much I actually like them vs. know the tunes. Nope. don't like them all that much. Familiar bits of tunes, but even those songs don't do that much for me. 2/5

alright

Un disco desigual. Las rolas de Neil Young son las mejores. Almost Cut My Hair es brutal. Se nota la influencia que tuvo sobre el soft-rock californiano.

:s

I went out for a walk this afternoon and regretfully put this on to accompany me. Starts off okay, then quickly becomes a limping foetus, then gains friction again, before firmly face planting into the forgettable friend zone.

Oef, wat zoetsappig en testosteron-loos.

meh

Background noise

I was ready to give this one star after the first two songs but I really enjoyed Almost Cut My Hair and Helpless. And the original Our House is cool I guess... That being said, the album genre is all over the place and the hippie psychedelic bordering on country vibe just isn't for me.

L'he agafat amb ganes perquè els conec i mai els havia escoltat amb atenció. És un disc agradable, amb molt bones harmonies, i cançons treballades. Però m'ha semblat una mica irregular en la primera escolta. Suposo que la diversitat de compositors i cantants no ajuda a que hi hagi més unitat al llarg de l'àlbum.

La verdad, mejor de lo que esperaba... pero no mucho

Too country for me but ok

It was an okay oldie album. Didn’t seem that special.

It's like creedence for pussies 2/5.

Just a bit boring.

Not my style

Media canción escuchada ¿y sabi que? no lo pienso seguir escuchando, no me gusta este género de música. Chao pescao

Really boring

favs almost cut my hair our house rating 1/5

Não gostei não

This is so boring.

Says nothing to me.

Not for me!

I got extremely bored because I reaaally don't like this type of folksy country stuff at all. Pretty vocal harmonies though.

Meh

No thanks.

Too old and country for me to listen to it closely

cmon.......

sollen eigentlich git sein scho. wieder vergessen, liegt evtl aber auch an. meiner Stimmung...? c

что это вообще

Umm nah

Didn't listen

Teach your children 8/10 ok album , not my vibe

Listened to it right after I finished my eco final. Loved half the songs just by listening to it once.

1/5 - Ei oo mun juttu man

Fleetwood Mac without the coke and domestics that made them fun

Not sure if I'll make it though this album. This is really not for me.

#FreeNeilYoung

Kinda boring?

This album does nothing to stand out and falls pretty flat, a good sound but very uninspired

Nope

aburrido

The millionaires hippies are at it again.

Mah, I was never a huge fan of these guys, but Woodstock is still a banger

not my cup of tea. not at all.

A little bit dated in 2025. And the songs are all haphazard.

I don't get the love.

Real socialist protest bullshit. Keeping this crap alive today. I care not. This skittle gives hope, but does not do a damn thing.

Really didn't enjoy.

this pissed me off

Country müziğe doydum yeto. Hiç beğenmedim.

Not my cup of tea 1

很棒

cracker music 2/10

songs were alright but like not memorable

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

rock folk no NNN

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

Defines mediocre

It’s really almost a perfect album.

didn’t like any song.

Kinda boring, basic 70s album 3/10

Folksy warbling. Not my cup of tea.

This album bored me to death. Not a fan, couldn’t make it through last 3 songs.

I almost cut my hair is leuk. Verder heb ik de boel na een nummer of 4-5 toch maar geskipt.

Didn't really like it. Very country.

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.

Not my thing

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

‘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.

no Young again - two in a row!

christ, do i hate neil young. it's probably nothing personal - i mean, i don't know the guy, but if i did, maybe it would be personal - but gah...that voice has grated on me since i was a kid. guitar sounds great, wish he wouldn't sing. the 87-part harmony thing is also cool and all, but damn does it get old. i'm definitely having a bad day. ordinarily, i'm sure i'd hate this less. i'm sure it's important in the history of music and all, but i just can't get past how little i like hearing the sounds it makes in my ears. i also do not like joni mitchell, and i do not like the song she wrote about wishing she was at woodstock.

Not my kind of thing. I quite like the composition on Woodstock, but Country Girl really grated on me, and I found myself checking how long was left on Everybody I love you

Caster Oil, four raw eggs and a blueberry pie eating contest. Listening to this, I feel like the blueberry pie after being scooped up by Lardass and dropped into his mouth. All I want to do is GTFO. The harmonization grates on after the chorus of Our House and it doesn't stop. This is only a 36 minute album but the urge to vomit came on quick. A few mins. later, after Neil Young starts singing in his ladyvoice, Lardass becomes a vomit machine and just starts spewing egg yolks, castor oil and blueberry pie. The end is near, and when it comes, I'm going to take a shower, rinse my mouth and brush my teeth. I feel awful. Raw eggs, castor oil and blueberry pie produce the same results as the bluesy guitar, Neil Young's voice and harmonizations. Be careful, it could get messy. https://youtu.be/zK0JaEde4VI?t=55

Crap

No

meh
