Deja Vu

This was good, not sure what else to say.

I light the fire, you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today

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

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.

A favorite since childhood. Country Girl - essential Neil!

It’s been a long time since I have listened to the album and forgot how great it is.

Side one is classic. Never spent too much time on side two.

Very nice

Kiva albumi, kaikki biisit erilaisia, kuitenkin sama soundi. Instrumenttien paikannus hyvin suunniteltua, aika analyyttiseltä kuullostaa. Spotifyssa ei ollu kaikkia kappaleita.

0 akilda kalicilik dinledikten sonra tum sarkilari unuttum

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

Great album

One of the greatest albums of all time by an amazing coterie of blockbuster musicians. Still holds up and blows the mind nearly 50 years later.

Classic rock is good rock. Half the album wasn't on Spotify though

Incredible harmonies! These guys can groove together incredibly well. Talented musicians, singer's, songwriters. Easy to listen to and just groove. Like if Beatles we're southern rock.

Impossible to separate this music from where it sits so deeply in my marrow. CSN harmonies are those against which I judge all others. Almost Cut My Hair, Teach Your Children, Helpless, Woodstock, and Our House are songs I've been humming while I do the dishes for the last few decades.

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.

very good

Maybe it’s three stars, maybe it’s five. I couldn’t tell because my new headphones are a crock

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.

Lovely fun. Best of this clean lyric folk rock style i have seen

Had heard a lot of these before, obviously love Our House. "Almost Cut My Hair" was catchiest surprise to me.

Great album, flies along.

Ma da, njih sam znao dost puta ovako samo pustit, bez da razmišljam o pjesmama, o tekstu, o glazbi, pasalo je. Ugodan folk-rock album pun topline, mira i ritma. Čak bi reko da mi više paše na ljeto ono vruće, ali nije loš bome ni za jesen.

Half missing on Spotify since Neil Young took his catalogue off of the platform but a pleasant enough listen

Hippy galore

6/10

A bit one-dimensional but great harmonies and always a good listen

Wow! Wow wow wow. That's all I can think to say right now. Amazing album. Loved the vocals and feel of the entire thing. I will be coming back to this.

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

An amazing album!

good folky

bof

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.

Absolutely stunning

nothing that breaks the mold, but something you can put on in the background without worrying too much about it

I fucking love this album

Lyrically pretty cringe, but musically a lot of fun. Gotta love some interweaving guitar solos, and I love that fuzzy solo tone.

I love the music and the vocals and harmonies are wonderful. My dad listened to a lot of CSNY when I was growing up so the nostalgia is pretty strong for this one.

Pretty good.

\beautiful how their voices sound together and several classicvs, of which Helpless my favourite

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.

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

I enjoy some songs on this (although the 4 Way Street versions are wayyy better) but because I like many of the live versions, the album version pale in comparison.

I can definitely see how this album made the list. It is full of classics: Teach Your Children, Helpless, Woodstock, Deja Vu, Our House.... the other songs I don't know as well, but they still "feel" like they are part of something special. Deja vu is great. I feel like I've heard it before... Deja vu.... 4/5

Shrugging person emoji. I felt nothing.

One terrific song (Our House)

For sure will come back to this. The harmonies, and relaxed acoustic vibe set the tone of feeling like you’re at Woodstock.

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.

Ljúf og falleg tónlist, harmóníurnar flawless. Mikið uppáhald.

Not all available on Spotify?

Some good songs in there. Really liked almost cut my hair, but not really my kind of music.

Most of the album is not available on Spotify but I like what I’ve heard at least. Very old school rock folk

Good but not my thing

хорош

Legend for a reason. Great songs with great voices bringing them.

One of those bands and albums I never listened to growing up intentionally and felt I rarely had to due to the amount of airplay they would get.... only a few I have never heard before and one, Teach Your Children, I did not care for, but the rest of this album is excellent. and the first time I ever heard Our House was on Cheers... and still remember it to this day because of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkES9UuZyRo

Hey boys

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

I used to really love this album, and it’s got some good tracks but Neil young and CSN is somehow less than the individual parts combined. Good, but neither of their best work

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

Our House is an absolute classic, and this was a good album overall. My next favorite was probably Almost Cut My Hair, with its wailing guitar solos.

Great album. Classic sound with intriguing lyrics. “Teach Your Children” and “Helpless” are wonderful songs that have made my favorite lists now.

Great

A classic especially if I could listen to all of the songs

Harmonies don’t get better than this

nice

Country-pop-rock de estilo americano. Tranquilo de escuchar y con buenas voces y melodías

highlights: helpless our house 4+20

heard this one many times Very good album, rocks hard addition of young pushes guitar to the front even the over played songs, our house, children still play well love woodstock, almost cut my hair, carry on pretty much a classic, not a 'bad' song on the 'bum would buy used at $10 (heard too many times)

It was ok

Thought it was great! Favorites were Deja Vu, Our House, Country Girl

Absolutely fantastic collection of songs, such depth in the lyrics and these voices together blended so harmoniously. Superb!

this was really good

3.5 stars. Really solid album, good guitarwork. Love the continuity yet unique vocals. Standouts "Carry On", "Woodstock", "Everybody I Love You".

What a great combination of singer songwriters and performers. Good tunes all interesting to listen to and possibly sing along with. A classic of its time and informative of what influence it had on the future.

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.

me lembra um fleetwood mac mais pitoresco. os vocais principalmente são muito bons

It definitely deserves a place on the list

first listen great songwriting

Really decent album. Smooth, easy-listening folk rock with really nice vocals and guitars. Almost Cut My Hair and Our House are definite favourites. 8/10

Carry On muito boa. Helpless com certeza foi copiada em Knockin' On Heaven's Door do Guns. 4:20 bem boa também

Some great songs, but some real weak points and overall doesn’t feel as cohesive as some other CSN (excluding Y) albums

Standout Tracks: Carry On, Déjà Vu, 4 + 20

Starts out great, but was slightly disappointed by this. Excellent muscians but much of it didn't really excite

Neil Young makes it a 5, otherwise it’d be a 3.

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.

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

p201. 1970. 4 stars Late 60s hippies wake up in a new decade and discover country. Fantastic harmonies, fine musicianship, great tunes - what's not to like? Still holds up after 50+ years, although you can argue that Country Girl is filler and that Our House is as weak as a kitten. Imagine what they could have done if they hadn't been perpetually wasted and/or soaked in booze.

Filled with beautiful harmonies, yet the instrumentals don’t really hit for me

What a joy to listen to well known artists and their famous album, but for the first time without knowing much about the LP. A huge surprise to finally discover that the very famous Our House is a Graham Nash CSN+Y song. Great harmonies, good catchy pop songs (thank you again Mr Hollies), country rock and straight up rock (thank you Neil). Superb collection and justifies its reputation. I’m already looking forward to listening again.

great album

Beaucoup de talent sur un même album, et ca parait. Chacun y amène ca touche et ca nous donne un album très bien fait qui s'écoute bien du début à la fin. Almost Cut my Hair, Helpless, Our house, Woodstock, que du classique ! 5

fucking amazing, 10/10

Genre: Folk Rock 4/5 And in other news obvious to everyone, Crosby, Stills & Nash (as well as this iteration's addition of Young) still rules. A total Folk Rock gem, Déjà Vu is one of the group's best, and certainly one of the genre's best. Full of tight vocal harmonies, and led by simple and effective acoustic and electric guitar arrangements, CSNY crafts a well-written and very well-produced album. While it's nothing groundbreaking in terms of sonic events, it's an exercise in pretty, and it's all executed wonderfully. The first 5 tracks, aka the first side of the LP, is a full-blown essential folk rock experience, full of all the wonders people love to hear in this kind of music. From Carry On thru Woodstock, each member leaves their mark, especially new band member Neil Young, whose song Helpless is one of the best tracks on the whole album. My personal fav though is Crosby's composition, the title track Déjà Vu, with its triplet folk rhythm swirling throughout the entire song in an almost mesmerizing way. Our House, another one of the group's most popular tracks, is a sweetly sung folk song that should be rewarding for any general listener. This is happy music made by great musicians, and any generation should enjoy CSNY's knack for melody.

This is simply marvelous.

Perfect

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

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!

La primera escucha no dejó mucho impacto, pero a la segunda todo encajó.

Fine

I feel like I’ve heard this one before. It bounces a songster shyly into the spotlight. A good combo/mix of voices and writing styles

Enjoyed it, too bad it's not on Spotify. 3

Good record, enjoyed it.

It's quite amazing that this album was recorded in such a disjointed fashion. How did they get those beautiful harmonies without singing together? It just shows their genius. I'm assuming that Stills was the conductor, he is one of the true geniuses of modern music. The addition of Young takes them to another level. While none of the songs reached the transcendent heights of Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, they still were a level above anything released at the time. Except for the excitement that was happening on the heavier spectrum, of course.

Muy bueno

The Young songs are the best ones, but the whole thing is pretty solid folk rock.

incredible guitar sound; landmark lyrics in the songs. noted many of the songs were authored by an individual(s). the singing voices sometimes sound strained. great collection of their best.

folk can be such a nice, relaxing listen. folk is a great medium for telling stories or political/protest songs, too. and this album is so evidently rock from that guitar! it's charming how much to a T this album is folk rock. i was surprised by my enjoyment of this album! i wouldn't call myself a fan of folk, or even folk rock, but this was a wonderful listen! "country girl" grabbed me--boy do i love it when multiple songs are crammed into one. but also "teach your children," that is a song that's relevant in 1970 and 2022. "helpless" hits me right in my gut. that being said, some songs were just okay for me. still, an enjoyable and soothing listen on a friday. 3.5.

I have become pretty familiar with all of these songs individually, to some degree or another, over the years, but have never heard the album from front to back. These songs are outstanding as individual tracks and in a whole album format. I just love the vocal harmony among these four; Young adds something special here and I like the band's sound better with him (which is ironic, since I'm not a solo Young fan). While dominantly folk, this album touches several different genres and does so masterfully.

Why does it feel so much longer than 36 minutes?

A smooth cracker.

I get CSN&Y and CSI:NY confused way too often.

Folk rock Juggernaut

Enjoyed this album lots! :D

So in love. I grew up with all of these musicians and at least some of the songs, so they already had a special place in my heart.

A masterpiece! Great energy; great instrumentation; great creativity.

Really really good. Love the harmonies, the melodies, and the instrumentation. My favorite songs are: Almost Cut My Hair, and Deja Vu. I still don't love Neil Young's voice, but I like it with the rest of the band. I much prefer Crosby's voice, and it turns out the two songs I like to most on the album were written by him too.

I had this earlier last summer and I couldn’t muster any commentary, and gave it a “meh, 2”. But I’m wondering if I was in a nasty mood, or listened to the wrong album. Because this is so good. Earnest useful lyrics, creative and skilled instruments, economical writing. This could go on anytime.

Thank God I've still got the free Apple Music trial.. What an album, what a supergroup. Our House, Helpless, so much stunning writing. And yes Neil Young's stays just on the right side of 'grating'.

Sikäli sattui oikeat biisit youtuben listasta tulemaan niin oli ihan hauskaa rallattellua. Ei kyllä mitään takuita, että biisit oli oiketa....

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

good band of the '70s. Folk-rock like themes.

60’s rock like this is butter on my bread. Such a gorgeous, clean sound. David Crosby’s vocals on “Almost Cut My Hair” are stunning. I guess I’ve never heard him before. A real showstopper of a song! Other favorite tracks: “Carry On,” “Woodstock,” “Everybody I Love You”

Pros: - origin of "let your freak flag fly" - it's a dope classic rock album - it's the best selling album of all members' careers. - Super-group bands I think often have weird dynamics. It's weird but also probably inherently hard to avoid right? These guys don't really have that issue in this act I think. It all gels well. A good example is going from "Teach your children" which is a beautiful, heartfelt song, into "Almost cut my hair" (David Crosby singing) which is very funny and silly, and then finally into "Helpless" (Neil Young singing), which centers around Neil's very soft and distinctly different voice and ambiguous lyrics. You would think that these sounds and sentiments in 3 consecutive songs wouldn't work that well but they really do! - The title track, Deja Vu, is very cool and experimental for them. Starts with an almost-scat part, has some weird chords in there (Gab and i found a GSus4 chord into Emsus2 chord (I think that's how its' written?) and they SING these! That's very experimental! Hard to sing! Lots of tension! It's at 2:37) - "Our House" is way ahead of it's time to me. It's like a modern indie pop song in instrumentation arrangement, even the hook is very modern yet also somehow Beatles-esque. Cons: Misc: - It's tight all around. I've heard this album many times throughout my life but by isolated radio plays of the tracks, and never full through in one sitting. I really like how the album doesn't just start hot, play some hits, and then fades off; it keeps energy throughout the album and keeps the diversity throughout.

Mellow stuff

Very much enjoyed this one. Reminded me a little of Fleetwood Mac, or perhaps Fleet Foxes. Great songwriting, harmonised vocals

Sempre essencial.

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.

Really good, love the opening bassline

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

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.

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.

Full of songs l knew but didn't know they were from this album.

love these fun funky guys

I can't listen to this album in Spotify but I can say about this band is a referent.

notable songs. Enjoy the song Woodstock quite a bit.

Good to have to listen to this album as I've not heard it in a long time. Still exceptional.

4.0 - Some pretty and familiar songs on here - "Teach Your Children" and "Our House." Beautiful arrangements throughout. A sunny day, hassle-free listen, good for a barbecue or by the pool.

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

Subtle but beautiful

Love the harmonies and classic guitar.

Just okay

Easy liste

One of my all-time favorite.

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

Pretty good. Bunch of babies though, so just a 4

24k gold, one of if not the first vinyls I remember purchasing. Bless up

The original supergroup justifies their existence.

A pretty good jam! Dad rock but still excellent. Shows its folk roots as well

I listened to it one go and let it wash over me and transport me somewhere else. Beautiful harmonies.

O e of the earliest slums zi remember hearing and zi loved it from the moment I heard it, especially Neil Youngest Helpless. But every song has a special place for me. 5 🌟

Great album! Some very familiar songs on there.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this photo. I had the original leather bound cover (remember?) purchased proudly with the earnings from my newspaper route down at our local Peaches Records and Tapes. I wanted nothing more than to grow my hair long and wear that beautiful fringe jacket that David Crosby often wore, but my parents had different ideas about how their children should look. They were Nixon supporters. I haven’t listened to 'Déjà Vu' from beginning to end in a long time. But I played it so often it’s embedded in my memory. I was more curious if it still resonated with my heart. The answer is yes. Both for the glorious music but also for the spirit. Dylan prophesied a hard rain coming in 1963, and by 1970 he was already seeking shelter from the storm. CSNY filled the void, took up the mantle, like Elisha following Elijah. But this is another subject for another time. Back to the matter at hand. There were a couple of new things that surfaced for me during this particular listen, the first being that Neil Young is not really so much an equal partner with CSN on 'Déjà Vu' as he is a special guest on a few tracks. I couldn’t detect any Neil at all on the first two tracks, finally some guitar playing on the third. And then, of course, his own composition, ‘Helpless,’ and ending side one with his searing guitar solo on ‘Woodstock.’ But when side two opened with the title track, seemingly Neil had again taken five, and didn’t come back until the second to last song, another of his own compositions, ‘Country Girl.’ And he’s heard clearly on guitar rockin it up on the finale, ‘Everybody I Love You.’ Perhaps this is revealing of Neil’s divided commitment between his own solo stuff (which would ultimately triumph) and this super group. Truthfully (and I say this as a fan who thinks Neil sits at the right hand of only the Beatles), I don’t think CSN really needed Y. He certainly didn’t them, and ‘After The Gold Rush,’ ‘Harvest,’ ‘On The Beach,’ and the rest of his couple of dozen LPs following are proof. Even the cover photo features CSN in a perfect triangle, and faces up and illuminated; whereas Neil is on the furthest fringe, head bowed and darkened. Too Sergeant Pepper? And secondly, in addition to these songs being written mostly about the weal and woe of human relationships, might they also be referencing, if even subconsciously, the state of the baby boomer generation at that time, still very much in the midst of anti-war and civil rights demonstrations but losing the optimism that so permeated the summer of love three years before? Could not ‘Carry On,’ for example- an encouragement to keep struggling for love and not succumbing to despair following a breakup- also be heard as a call to the younger generation for the same resilience against the unjust, ruling status quo? ‘Teach Your Children’ becomes an appeal to both generations (young and old), both political parties, to learn to love one another. David Crosby pleading on ‘Almost Cut My Hair’ to not give in to fear as we figure out where to go from here as a country? Neil Young’s ‘place in north Ontario’ mirroring the distress of their American neighbors to the south? And ‘Woodstock’ speaks for itself, including the line ‘bomber death planes riding shotgun in the sky, turning into butterflies above the nation.’ I’ve always heard bomber jet planes, and had to stop the recording and listen again. In Joni Mitchell’s original lyrics, she just sing ‘bombers.’ I wonder which of the quartet added the word death? Side two opens with Crosby’s ponderings about ‘what’s going on under the ground? The anti-war underground movement? ‘Our House,’ a delightful song about hearth and home, has a hint of melancholy because that innocence Graham Nash is so wanting to hold onto is, on a national level, rapidly slipping away. ‘4 + 20’ finds Stephen Stills in such despair over his loss (of a lover), or perhaps the loss of actual lives both abroad in southeast Asia and also in the embittered civil rights battlefields of America’s deep south, that he ends the song wishing that his ‘life would simply cease.’ Neil’s ‘Country Girl,’ an invitation to leave the city and the other guy, and come to the country and be with me… might the other guy be Uncle Sam? And in the grand finale, ‘Everybody I Love You,’ when the whole gang fervently sings ‘You expect for me to love you when you hate yourself, my friend,’ to whom are they addressing, one American or the whole country? Again, I’ve been listening to this LP, off and on, for over 50 years, and am very familiar with the material. Or I thought I was. Funny how you can sometimes hear a song like ‘Teach Your Children Well,’ for years, and still, sometimes, hear something new. There’s no doubt it’s a good song. it’s just not one of my favorites, at least partly due to its popularity. I’ve simply heard it played too much. And so, by the time Nash begins the final verse I’ve already emotionally moved on to the next track with Crosby almost cutting his hair for cryin’ out loud! But on this particular listen for this review, I was reading the lyrics as if for the first time- Nash’s appeal at the end of the song to all Americans, young and old, hawks and doves, to trust in the power of love to affect reconciliation; or as the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said so famously, ‘Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend’: ‘And you of the tender years can’t (possibly) know the fears that your elders grew by. And, so, please help (and not hurt) them with your youth. They seek the truth (like you/we do) before they can die.’ (Italics are mine) Musically, what can I add? You’ve got Crosby singing both his heart and angelic voice out on ‘Almost Cut My Hair,’ Nash’s high register, and slightly British accent throughout, not to mention his underrated song writing talent, both Stills and Young’s unique lead guitar playing (two great tastes that go great together.) But please don’t let the famous quartet overshadow the workingman drumming of Dallas Taylor, and most especially, the incredible touch of Greg Reeves, playing bass parts that rival Paul McCartney’s own melodic, creative roaming. And of course, Jerry Garcia famously drops right in and sits right down at pedal steel on ‘Teach.’ Sure, CSNY are all old and fat (except for the fountain of youth Graham Nash), and sometimes cantankerous and crotchety and such, now. But if you just could have heard them then, if but for a brief moment… Ah, that’s a déjà vu I would welcome today ‘… with all of you.’

I know and love this album well, but I'm always struck by the vocal harmonies of CSN/CSNY, and this album is a great example.

one of the greatest American albums of all time.

Pretty nice album on the first listen, enjoyable and entertaining. I didn't get to listen to all of it because some songs aren't on stream services. Good songs with good rythm and good lyrics, my favorite parts of the songs were the chorus and all the different instruments that they used. Favorite songs: Carry on and Deja Vu.

A real good

Great album!

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 ...

The Elephant's Graveyard of the Laurel Canyon sound.

I'd rather be watching The Littlest Hobo

Good for doing work.

Um grande álbum! Me surpreendeu. O vocais são muito bem trabalhados!

I’m so addicted with this album. Wonderful folk-rock songs with legendary people.

Lovely short and sweet and some great songs

Отличная старая музыка

The result of throwing four geniuses in a studio together. This is the very definition of a supergroup. A band of talented musicians whose names extend beyond the bands they were once a part of, where each member has major contributions in the album, and none of which is lacking. Stills and Young carried Buffalo Springfield... their songs were always the strongest. Crosby was always my favorite Byrd after McGuinn. And although I don't know much about Nash alone, I loved the hits of the Hollies so much I was once disappointed they never had a consistent album. Here we have a collection of masterpieces, hit after the next. They're all very strong songwriters, vocalists, and instrumentalists. I love how this album rotates through all 4 of them. On both sides you have a song written and primarily sung by each member, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. Nash writes the melodic pop hits you sing around the campfire. Young probably has the best written songs, they sound like solo material but with the ever pleasing harmonic back vocals. Yet, they're not out of place. Stills has the most colorful songs... strong forward vocalist, his composition skills in roots genres are best showcased in his later album Manassas. All three of his songs are amazing, and props to Mitchell for writing "Woodstock," I wouldn't have been able to tell without looking it up. Crosby has the most dramatic songs, the instrumentals are incredibly rich and ever-changing, like proggy folk. All of these songs could be star tracks on their own. The only track I don't think is perfect is the closing "Everybody I Love You"... it's merely superb. Pop folk doesn't get much better that this. The harmonious vocals is something I always strive to find in other music, and only then could I only compare them to the standards of these guys.

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

Some songs I thought were absolute slappers (Our House comes to mind) but there were also a few duds in the tracklist

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

Ok! Country, it's nice and i could knew other artists

Great vocals, harmonies, guitar solos, drumming, and beautifully mixed.

Crosby, Stills, and Nash really nailed something by adding Neil Young to their lineup. He not only brings some extra great harmonies, I just love it when they cut loose and really rock out. The mellow songs are relaxing and gorgeously arranged, with some of the harmonies giving genuine chills. Just a tight set of songs. As a total aside, I would get this record the day Neil Young pulled his catalog from Spotify (fuck 'em, though, Neil is right). Favorite tracks: "Woodstock", "Country Girl", "Almost Cut My Hair", "Carry On"

Country cannot go too wrong, but was not as impressive or melodic as expected...

Always been a favorite

Great vocals!

Nice and chill. I don't know much about Neil Young's history so it was fun to think 'hey, that's neil young!' when he first sang on this album

4/5

Didn't enjoy.

LOVE AMAZING

Great album with a number of hits on it. Never realized these all came from the same album. On a 10 point scale, I would give this a 9.

Beautiful harmonies, great guitar sound, several outstanding tracks - helpless, our house, teach your children - don't always like the melodies, but the overall sound is always soothing. I played is on repeat all day and loved every second.

Standouts - Deja Vu; 4 + 20 Pretty standard classic rock sounds Some interesting lead guitar here and there

To sie nazywa albumik na rozpoczecie 2k22, klasyczny material folkowego rocka, bedacy prawdopodobnie magnum opus bandy, a jednoczesnie pierwsza plyta ktora nagrywali kwartetem z Neilem Youngiem w skladzie, 36 minut materialu, ktory jest dosc rowno podzielony miedzy czlonkow zespolu, ale jednak z widocznie mniejszym udzialem Younga, jesli chodzi o instrumentale, w ogole ciekawie nagrywali material, bo kazdy sobie ogarnial sesje na swoje traki i tylko prosil innych czego potrzebowali zeby im nagrali, wiec bardzo inwidualne podejscie do tworzenia, ale sprawdza sie ta formula, bo traki wyraznie roznia sie od siebie i nawet nie po samych wokalach, ale wykorzystanych instrumentalach da sie poznac do kogo nalezy dany kawalek, skoro kazdy pisal i tworzy pod siebie, to nie ma tutaj zbytniej spojnosci lirycznej w postaci motywu przewodniego, opener bedzie prawdopodbnie inspirowany tym, ze cale trio CSN bylo zdumpowane w tamtym okresie, wiec carrujom naprzod wiadrami copium, ale beda tez lekcje boomerskie dla nowofagow i o tym jak to kazde pokolenie ma swoj czas, czy o nie scinaniu kudlow jako symbolu hameryki walczacej, kazdy z czlonkow ma cos co chce przekazac i na 10 trakach udalo sie sporo tego przemycic, albo raczej na 9, bo woodstock jest coverem joni mitchell, fenomenem tej plyty jest to, ze jest tak rowna a jednoczesnie tak roznorodna, co slychac rowniez w samej technice nagrywania poszczegolnych kawalkow, sa tutaj utwory oparte na jednym instrumencie jak 4+ 20 Stillsa, gdzie caly kawalek jest tworzony przez jednego akustyka, a sa kawalki jak country girll czy carry on gdzie wykorzystywana jest sciana dzwieku, nakladajace sie na siebie instrumenty budujace wrazenie orkiestrowego brzmienia a w innych miejscach wrecz szumu tla zeby jeszcze bardziej spotengowac efekty harmonii z ktorych zespol byl znany juz nawet na debiutanckim krazku, a z dodatkowym glosem jeszcze lepiej to brzmi, ciezko jest wybrac ulubione kawalki z takiego materialu, ale zrobie miejsce na plejce dla kazdego z czlonkow, wiec teach your children Nasha, 4 + 20 Stillsa, helpless Younga i tytulowy deja vu Crosbiego, a calosc do biblioteczki spotifajowej, bo to jedna z tych plyt ktore sluchaja sie same od poczatku do konca

no Young again - two in a row!

5 étoiles juste pour le chien

Les 1001 albums américains à écouter avant de clamser Prefs: Carry On, Our House, Country Girl Moins pref: 4+20

Basis album, gevarieerd met vele invloeden en waar veel uit ontstaan is

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

Enjoyed quite a bit. A great, easy listening album

Great throwback of the era where they experimented with great guitar riffs.

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.

The idealism. The nostalgia. Joni Mitchell's track is the best. Can't quite figure out the harmonies the group is using, but it is very distinctive.

Fantastic album, love the collaboration of these four spectacular artists! Even though there wasn't much cohesion between them during the recording process, the end result sounds like they had remarkable recording chemistry throughout. Helpless is a beautiful song, and Our House has been a favourite of mine for many years. Woodstock is quintessential classic rock, it does not get any more classic or any more rock than that song. What a killer start to the week, bloody good album!

Just wow. Every verse is a surprise, but it also manages to work in some tender moments. The best CSN&Y album I've heard. So far.

Not for me

I dislike Neil Young. That being said, this album is one of the most delightful things music wise from that period.

Firm favourite.

Some of these sounds sound fresh and shine as influences for Songs: Ohio and similar Secretly Canadian bands.

Pretty damn good, cant beat harmonies like that. It could be a five and probably should be, but a high 4

Some really fantastic tracks on here

Worth another listen

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.

Pretty good

A short album. Another classic 70s sound… I’m starting to tire of noodley guitars and harmony and tambourines. But it’s the sound of a generation for sure.

Lovely album that my dad used to enjoy. Listening to now it's patchy, but great harmonies and good songs. Can't really knock it.

Fine!

Very solid, obviously a classic

Bruh

Pretty solid, with some gems

For an album of the 1970s very good sound quality

Carry on and almost cut my hair were my favorites

Folk-rock setentero. Un pelín por encima del 3...

Agradable. 4

Rätt tråkig

OK, some good songs, I can see why people like it but not for me

Sounds like a more folksy version of Dark Side of the Moon.

Great vocal harmonies, wonderful varying instrumentation (piano, guitar, drums, harmonica, voice as instrument, organ etc.) - some dramatic moments, not quite enough punch for 5 Stars

There's some of that folksy twang, but the way their voices blend together is just relaxing.

Rating: 5/10 Best songs: Our house

Interesting sound, but not quite my style.

Our house was my favourite, with teach your children coming in at a close second. Lovely album.

Only one song I liked

I wasn't terribly excited about getting this album today, since I've been pretty lukewarm on previous albums by Crosby (The Byrds) and Neil Young that showed up on this list, but this is a really stellar album. It does a great job of showcasing the strengths of the group, including their harmonies and songwriting, and manages to remain both interesting and consistent all the way through 4/5

meh. didnt make me feel anything, but pretty catchy

A bit short, whole album very enjoyable, no skips

Great album - love the parallel harmonies on the title track, and Our House could pass for a Beatles track. The missing Oxford comma is really throwing me off though.

Just listened to the 50th anniversary of this record. Good lord is it good. Every song is a gem. The volitility of the personnel in this band is completely quelled when they are able to make the music they all love to make together. These songs are beautiful, heartfelt, and purely collaborative. One can listen and reflect and weep both out of sadness and happiness at the same time. A masterpiece.

3/5 naaaah

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.

A little biased here, because I've known this album since I was a teenager. It is fantastic - songs, performance, arrangements, etc. I should also add that Stephen Stills is one of the most underrated guitarists in history. His guitar work on the tracks "Carry On" and "Déjà Vu" should not be ignored.

Classic. 3.5

You can’t tell me “Almost Cut My Hair” wasn’t a huge influence on Derek Stevens’ work: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VUrbtUwsRXo

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.

There's a bit of talent in this lineup. I've heard much of this but never listened to the album through. Our House is just such a lovely song. And a few of the others are very great. Like this one.

Still hangs together great - an absolute classic

old timey airy wistful montage music. No exceptional standouts for me here.

Some great stuff but those harmonies annoy sometimes

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

Some lovely tunes on here and a lot of songs that I didn’t know they had done, however some twee as well

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

Enjoyable.

скучный

3.25

Hm. Not the biggest country fan here, and this album being 50 years old doesn't add much either.

kæmpe champs alle sammen, lidt countrisk

I really feel like this is a 3.5 for me, but I am going to be generous and round up. I enjoyed listening to it in full, even though ive heard these songs my whole life, still, I would not consider myself a fan.

Favs: Carry On, Helpless, Woodstock Mehs: None I'm a sucker for this kind of music from this time period, and I'm a sucker for Neil Young. Helpless is one of the all time best sad songs.

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

A good album an introduction to this legendary band

Good stuff

Classic rock is classic. Even this one.

woodstock is great

Some good ones here.

Bluesy, rocky, harmonization, southern rock. Hippie bent

Classic country rock album by some real heavy-weights. Beautiful harmonies and searing guitar solos - shame they could never keep it together for very long. Best Tracks: Carry On; Helpless; Country Girl

Dit is genieten; beste ontdekking so far ! 🥰🤩

Our house is certified. Een zeer mooi rustig rock album

Our house. Underwhelming.

Not my favorite, but still a good album.

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

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).

If ever there were a case for letting your freak flag fly, this album might be it. CSNY are in peak form here, with their signature tight harmonies, lyrics of protest & empowerment, virtuosic guitar playing, and all around 60s love. Each member has a chance to shine, but it's when they all come together as a cohesive whole that this album transcends. "Carry On", the opener, is a prime example - the harmonies rarely more impressive, the organ & Young's guitar riffing off of each other, the message one of eternal love & peace. Jerry Garcia's pedal steel adds some nice twang to the soulful "Teach Your Children", and Young's "Helpless" aches with raw emotion. "Our House" might be the weakest entry here, for my money, but it does boast a unique vocal from Nash, perhaps the most underrated of the "supergroup". But for me, it's "Woodstock" that puts this album over the edge - an amalgam of music and vocal that encapsulates the 60s. This rockin' reinvention of a rather turgid Joni Mitchell tune puts us on an astral plane with CSNY, where we're all stardust. Perfection.

The harmonies always blow me away. Sometimes the song writing veers too far into a country sound I don’t enjoy as much.

CSNY are a super group I get behind. I saw these guys in April 2000, and they put on a 3.5 hour show! Impressive for a bunch of guys in their mid to upper 50s. I can’t find the specific set list, but the average set for that tour was 30 songs (includes 2 encores). That’s a lot of entertainment for $40. This album is loaded with great songs! It’s starts off with one of my CSNY favorites, Carry On. I love the opening, pressing guitar part and the break of styles halfway through. Our house is a beautiful song born out of one of life’s ordinary moments when Graham Nash and Joni Mitchell bought a vase one day. There’s even a song about a hippie almost cutting his hair. Unfortunately track 9 is a stinker and track 10 is just OK. For all I care this album stops after track 8. And fuck are they an incredible 8 tracks! It’s interesting to me that almost every song on this album was written by one member alone and not in collaboration. The final product is cohesive and seamlessly blends their instrumentals and voices together. It’s hard to believe they didn’t write together. In order of preference, I like the songs by Stills the most (Carry On and 4+ 20), then Nash (Our House and Teach Your Children), Crosby (Déjà Vu and Almost Cut My Hair), and Young (Helpless and Country Girl). Joni Mitchell’s Woodstock is quite good too. Young and Stills both wrote the closer, Everybody I Love You.

Good stuff. Neil young makes this album so much better.

A decent mix of classic rock and folk

Mellow sound for the end of the week. 3*

Boring.

Didn’t expect to love it, but expected to like it. Beat my expectations for sure.

This is a nice album to sit back with a chilled whiskey in a nice chair and have a good listen. Favorite Tracks: "Woodstock" "Our House" "Teach Your Children"

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.

Classic songs, beautiful melodies, exquisite guitar playing - an album that seems to capture the mood of the moment as the folky, peaceful, acoustic sixties (Deja Vu, Our House) turns into the gritty, tribal, rocky seventies (Almost Cut My Hair, Woodstock). This is America.

Great album….great tunes…. Great harmony…. Awesome !!!!

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.
