Reviews (page 3 of 14)
Folk rock.
Just always like this one. Young and Crosby's compositions stand out.
hippie national anthem
very solid folk rock but man i cannot take woodstock or hippies seriously for some reason
4.5
Nothing much to say. Good folk rock. (7/10) Favorite tracks: “Carry On”, “Almost Cut My Hair”, “Woodstock”
Not really my thing. Very mellow.
Good
Some classics here. Enjoyable bops
L’équivalent de Steele dan en country/folk C’est quand même doux et joli, je préfère la fin de l’album je crois 7/10 du coup
Love this, really made my afternoon
honestly its pretty good even though i dont like this type of music, impressive
Our House really jumps out of this album. It was otherwise fine, a nice desk listen
It’s got some highlights (mainly “Our House”), but most of this album is pretty boring. Take off “Our House” and it’s probably a 2.
Found this one to be a lotta funn
Those harmonies sure do hit. Although this is a group project, Neil sure stands out as the A student.
Superb
4/5 https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/crosby-stills-nash-and-young/deja-vu/ Nice! Not every song as catchy as the other, but the variety in singing voices is very enjoyable and there are some absolute bangers on this.
Grande Álbum!
sehr chill, gute spliffer musik. 3.61 sterne
Brilliant album...
Easily their best. Harmony at its best. All time songs. Easy 5
Helpless et My House sont deux morceaux fabuleux, mais bon je me retrouve à simplement attendre le prochain moment ou je vais enfin entendre Young chanter à nouveau. Le problème quand un des membre mog violement les autres c'est que du coup la barre est trop haute j'imagine...
Passive rock and country blend, not really to my liking. Recording standards have improved so much that this feels very poorly presented without having to crank the volume. There's clearly some guitar noodling here for some folk to enjoy, track 3 for example feels like something that would have been great live with some weed. Could do with more exciting drumming though, very stable and unadventurous.
This was ok, but I really only liked when Graham Nash or Neil Young sang. I know and love the song Our House. I also knew Teach Your Children. I’m not a fan of Stephen Stills or David Crosby’s voice.
Коридоры пустых советских больниц. Хотел подобрать хотя бы оригинальное описание для того, что прослушал. Я очень старался вникнуть или может специально понять значимость данного альбома. Все напрасно: по моему мнению этот альбом мало чем отличается от сотен других идентичных очень похож по звучанию на его предшественника - bridge over trouble river. Их некорректно сравнивать, но там может зацепить вокал и этакая тягучесть альбома. Здесь - лично для меня очень пресный альбом. Поэтому оценка будет 3/10.
Our house is a classic , the rest of the album I am not sure on tbh
okay maybe this is a banger
holy freaking peak genuinely such a banger
I need to listen to this again to enjoy more. I love Neil young generally but I wasn’t gripped by half this album, and really enjoyed the other half, I guess depending on who wrote/sang the songs. Loved the production though. Those 70s drums and tight production is the best. This album has so much notoriety it’s definitely worth another listen.
det er helt ok. kanskje litt kjedelig. country girl var nice
My rating 3.6. Lovely album
Some heaters in here Will I listen to again: 100%
꽤 괜찮은 노래였다. 특별히 좋은 노래는 없었지만 전체적인 곡의 분위기가 좋았던 것 같다. It was a pretty good song. There were no particularly good songs, but I think the overall atmosphere of the song was good.
Country/soft folk rock. There's really not much more to say... Deja Vu has a more proggy feel to it, which I like. Ooh, I know Our House and like it too It ends up a bit eclectic, but I suppose an album with so many songwriters will do that Best track - Helpless, Deja Vu, Our House 3 stars
Ah men här är jag, riktift bra! Ändå lite blandad vibb på denna!
So many memories in this album. Road trips with my folks and hanging with my cousins
This album surprised me and I ended up liking it more than I thought I would.
Crazy that Neil young was able to weasel his way into this album. Great album other than that though lol
It's some core boomer rock, and it's okay. It's also like 1/4 a Neil Young album, so that sucks. Idk, this run of the mill dad rock doesn't really do it for me
Excellent folk rock that is utterly ruined by a single, terrible, Neil Young solo track.
The first album was all dreamy harmonies and beautiful tunes. Then along comes Neil Young and puts some grit and grunge in. You know lots of these tunes already. It can get a bit summer of love and love is the answer, but that grit does its job. And Helpless really is one of the best songs ever written.
good.
I liked this much more than expected. I've always found "Teach Your Children" to be unbearably cheesy so I didn't have high hopes for this album. Turns out they make significantly better music than that.
Pretty good, a nice collection of songs
Back-to-back Our Houses. Freaky.
Ooh this one has some good songs that remind me of childhood, teach your children and helpless are excellent as well as our house. 4.5/5
4 masters of their craft coming together. This had to be legendary and well, it is. It's very sharp and punchy for a record in this style, the production is super well done. A great fall album.
So, some of the lyrics on this album sound a little ridiculous and very hippie-centric nowadays (I'm looking at you, "Almost Cut My Hair"). But that said, this is a lovely album with great 3 part harmonies, and some occasional vocals and skronk from Neil. It's a very listenable time capsule from its time and place.
4 Liked it, not every song worked for me but most did
Filled with gems! The Joni Mitchell penned high point, Woodstock, partners with the achingly sweet Our House. Teach Your Children, Carry On, Helpless, Almost Cut My Hair.....all simply wonderful.
This is a great contrast to the Allman Brothers album. I’m not into “folk-rock” any more than I’m into blues rock, but holy shit if this isn’t just an assembly of all time great songwriters.
Classic songs, lovely harmonies, peaceful and folky. A great album.
Interesting but sounds like every band from the 70s Some greats and mids
It's honestly quite surprising that four huge egos came together to put together a great album.
Quite a lovely album. Amazing guitars.
Fine not for me
Good but not great. Still enjoyed it though.
I went in knowing the album well and assuming a 5 but listening with critical ears, it's a little over the top on the hippy front lyrically. Ton of classics though, the vocal performance is ridiculous, and there's some really good instrumental jams there too. 4.5 rounded up.
I was much more familiar with solo Neil than CSNY, but this is just the peak of this genre of music. Beautiful harmonies, great songs, great guitar work (acoustic and electric) and at least 3 of their most well known songs. Gotta be a 5 star.
I just had the best time listening to this
I purchased this album when I was 15 with my bday money. I wore it out and purchased it again. Then bought it again in CD format. I was fascinated and enthralled with both the musicality and harmonizing vocals. It made me a Neil Young fan. I became fascinated with the pedal steel guitar. Our House was my American Dream which I was gratefully rewarded with.
This thing was fire. Great vibes. I have nothing bad to say. Definitely a 4/5.
Crazy instrumentals, I added 4 songs to my favourites. At the start I thought that this album will be pain, but it is actually fun and I enjoyed it
A little snapshot in time of music in this era.
Interesting genre, I don't think I've heard anything like this yet Carry on- Definitely feels like a campfire song or upbeat, not enough to feel like a car-ride song though. I don't hate the bridge I like woodstock and would definitely add it to a folk playlist
Beautiful vocal harmonies in a collection of great folk songs, with just enough teeth to not be cloying. What is not to love? Neil Young's contributions do kinda overshadow the others, but this is still an excellent folk rock record
Beautiful! I'm always impressed.
favs almost cut my hair our house rating 1/5
It was okay, not really my thing
id give it 3,5 but i cant ;(
More rocky, less folky than I was expecting. Doesn’t quite hit the heights of the prior CS&N album or Young’s very best
almost cut my hair is the most amazing song i’ve heard in my life I LOVE this album
Crosby stills Nash and Young did not invent the four-part Harmony They just did it correctly. Every band who is attempted to do four part harmony ever since has to compare themselves to CSNY. And no, folk music isn't for everyone, but this music is consumable by almost everyone. It's approachable and completely belongs on this list because it's iconic.
Comforting and familiar. Interesting to hear CSN morph into CSNY, as Neil Young steps to the forefront in the later tracks.
Ah zut ! Je pensais avoir fini les albums avec Stills, mais j'ignorais qu'il avait aussi joué en quartet avec Crosby, Nash et Young. Quartet ennuyeux comme la pluie, trop country/folk et pas assez rock, comme toutes les autres productions de ces personnages. =>2/5 J'espère cette fois avoir réellement fini les Stills, mais il me reste toujours 4 (!) Young à subir ...
I liked some of the songs, I dont listen to this genre very much but some of the songs sounded similar to david bowie songs
Quite a mix. I really liked some songs. Less so many others. I only just realised at the end that the Young is Neil Young.
Took years to 'get' Neil Young, but I now love his stuff.
My parents were hippie-light, so CSN&Y were in constant rotation in our household. This album is perfect. Excellent vocal blends. Tight 2-4 minute songs. Excellent guitar work and writing. It perfectly encapsulates the Summer of Love with the threat of Vietnam on the outskirts. It's a really solid record from first track to last. The only weak track happens to be its longest -- Neil Young's attempt at an opus call Country Girl drags a little too long while the rest of the record is so tight.
I like the more raw moments like when the shuffly beat comes in on Carry On and the guitar licks of Woodstock. Great hearing Neil Young. Our House is really sweet, albeit always reminds me of the show Life Goes On, which then makes me a lil' sad. Not really my thing but it's good. I wouldn't put it on again but wouldn't mind if someone else did.
Fuck yeah. I find this to be far superior to their first album… waaay less meandering filler. No real low points and the highs (helpless and our house specifically) are just absolute 10/10s
The only songs worth a salt that Neil Young recorded are on this album, and if you ever questioned Joni Mitchell's songwriting chops Woodstock will correct your bad opinion. Man alive what an album. Straight gas until the last couple songs and even those are excellent.
The peaks are sky high, but the rest of the album is more fine than good. (3.5)
Standout album in the 70's folk/rock genre. There are a few legendary songs, but the album isn't something that I want to listen to repeatedly. Pitchfork: n/a Rolling Stone: Top 500 Albums #220 Best Songs Carry On Teach Your Children Our House
It’s pretty great I gotta admit. As much as I may groan, sigh, cringe or otherwise at a few of these tunes, that’s about sthg else if I’m honest. The album can’t be held responsible for thirty-eleven-teen Vietnam movies high jacking these quintessential 60s classics. That Neil solo too. Can always pick out his style & I’m here for it. This is an easy 4.
Will revisit closer
Yeah I didn't listen to this. I'll probably recommend it to a friend
This was okay, but doesn't stand out to me. I like some songs but don’t know if I’ll come back to it. TOP Songs: Helpless, 4+20, Woodstock
I don't get the hype: 80% of the album is OK but pretty boring. Not even the incidental presenc of Neil Young (that I typically appreciate) can make it better. Besides contributing a few guitar parts, he authors one good song (Helpless) and a pretty useless one. The only other genuinely interesting piece is Crosby's Almost Cut My Hair.
It was ok. Maybe I'll give it another go sometime in the future.
Nothing notable but pretty chill
Some of these songs are so beautiful. This album is a wonderful mix of blues, rock and roll, pop and folk. I need to listen to more CSNY.
This was the perfect album for the first really hot day of summer - didn't realise how many bangers came from this record and made me remember how much I love a mix of vocal tone 🤩
Not every song grabbed me, but really liked this overall. Not too long and nice to have variety! Havent heard Our House is years and years so that was a welcome surprise, also liked Country Girl
Not a bad album, but its just not my cup of tea. Some songs felt a bit slow to me but the songs I did enjoy had a lot of vocal depth and great-sounding melodies and instrument isolation. 4/10, Favorite Song: Country Girl
I enjoyed parts of this, especially Carry On and Woodstock and some of the production. But ultimately not for me.
TAK TAK
Very solid album from CSNY
Nice, short and to the point, but a smidge too country to really give it any better than a 3
This is a nice listen.
The harmonies on this are exquisite.
Love this album so much. Honestly essential stuff, with a great variety of styles
A very good surprise. I was expecting the worst since I like neither country music nor Neil Young, but this album is more on the blues and psychedelic side, and it totally works. Except for a couple of country and folk-oriented tracks that bored me (like "Teach Your Children"), most of the songs are solid blues-rock offerings with a trippy psych twist. The musicians are competent, and even Neil Young's voice is far more tolerable than usual. He should totally have stayed with that bunch instead of churning out dozens upon dozens of extremely average solo country albums. Not necessarily something I'd come back to, but I'm glad I gave it a try. 6/10
Not as "folk" as I remembered.
Beautiful harmonies, solid songwriting, cool and clean folk vibe. But it’s almost too soft, comfortable and padded to really hit me emotionally. I definitely respect it, but I don’t think I’ll come back to it very often.
Yeah… I want to hate. I do. I strongly dislike Neil Young. I feel like I am supposed to like this the way I am supposed to like the Beatles. It bugs me. But… yeah, I have to admit it’s good. I would never listen to it if I weren’t compelled. The presence of Teach Your Children makes that a certainty. But I have to give the album a 4, none the less. Boolean: yes, I admit it was good to hear this yet AGAIN before I die.
I was so ready to be a hater, but this slapped. Still prefer Michael Scott’s version of ‘Teach Your Children’ though.
I dont know, a lot of the songs sound and feel the same to me. Our House and Country Girl were my stand outs though. 5.6/10.
hostia el estéreo, mucha guitarra, almost cut my hair queee, la acústica de 4 + 20 ufffff
Classic rock :)
Absolutely flawless. Incredibly important album. Everyone know Our House. Carry On is a crazy opener. Teach Your Children, Almost Cut My Hair, and Helpless keep it going. Woodstock is one of my favorite all-time songs. Country Girl has me falling in love with a girl I've never know. And Everybody I Love You is a great way to close it out.
Excellent harmonies. Every track is great to my ears. Love the Laurel Canyon sound.
Turns out I know all these songs even though I didn't know the album. Really good harmonies. Couple hidden gems in there that I didn't expect to like. Helpless, by Neil Young.
Exeptional!
Não gostei não
There are some undeniable classics on here. All the musicians are great, but I still don't really enjoy Young's voice all the time.
When I was in college about 15 years ago, my roommate got a record player. He and I were both fans of classic rock so we went to the second hand record store and browsed through what they had. We bought every Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd album we could along with some Journey and Eagles albums. Along with those we bought Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, and man was that a great choice. I wore this record out listening to it over and over while studying. It was the perfect mix of smooth and relaxing along with just enough energy to keep me going. I can still hear the hiss of the worn out needle as "Carry On" fades in, even if that detail is only in my mind. What I'm saying here is that my 5 star rating may be dripping in nostalgia, but I absolutely love this album.
Light to decent 5
Some good folk rock, with a touch of country influence. Sometimes it may fall into background music, but the music is well crafted and the layered harmonies are gorgeous. 'Carry On' starts off the record and it is a stomping folk rocker before turns all psychedelic when it gets to the bridge. I was there was more surprises like that on here. 'Our House' is the only song I knew before diving into this and it makes me feel rather emotional, even if it is just about the simple satisfaction of having a place to call your own with the person you love. Sometimes songs don't have to be complex musically or lyrically to stir some emotion out of me. Having only been acquainted with Neil Young before pressing play, this album has made me interested in hearing from the rest of this supergroup.
So far, I am really enjoying this album. The songs are really good, even if the voices are sometimes grating. Overall, this is giving a 3 or a 4, not something life changing but still an enjoyable listen
A solid effort by CSN and sometimes Y.
This album is practically a greatest hits. I always forget what an incredible guitarist Stephen Stills is on acoustic, especially. For many years, I thought Crosby was the high harmony, but it's actually Nash. Crosby was the harmony expert doing all the difficult middle parts. Love this record. Was the perfect salve right at the moment I listened.
Of it's time production-wise but an incredibly easy listen.
They’re great together. One of the bands where my ideal situation would be a greatest hits album but yeah, I’m into it
A product of its time. Sounds similar to CreedanceCR, The Beatles etc. Not a massive fan of the vocals in my personal tastes, but I am very fond of the drums and especially the guitar in this album. Instrumentally, it’s great.
muito bom véi
Listening right now, on the first song of the album, I like this style of music and the vocals are very nice and harmonic and reminds me of the Beatles with a bit more of a kick. So far I will be adding some of these songs to my playlist if the album maintains this sound. The second song I assume is starting now and I really enjoy the intro to it. The guitar is good and the synth or whatever instrument it is sounds cool and makes the song sound cool. I enjoy the talkbox or similar pedal on the guitar solo. Third song is playing and I'm still liking the vocals and how they all harmonize and sound really soft and cool. I think this is enough note but I love this. 5 stars
Incredible album overall - so many great songs. Carry On possibly their best song and no bad songs on the album. Was interesting to listen to which songs they pieced together and which they all performed together. Fantastic album 5
Moer like tis please
I had somehow heard like zero of these songs before, and I kind of understand why. They are not my jam. I have to give it a three on artistic merit, but I wouldn't listen to it again.
Always is nice to hear an album of these stars.
Fantástico
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s Déjà Vu is a standout country-rock masterpiece that thrives on the individual strength of its tracks despite a lack of thematic consistency. While "Carry On" is a classic, the mix is incredibly jarring on headphones due to the dated "hard-panning," which shoves the guitar aggressively into one ear and creates a lopsided, exhausting listening experience. Beyond that technical hurdle, the album balances grit and grace, moving from the dark, visceral loneliness of "4+20" to the oddly soothing imagery of "Helpless" and the domestic gratitude of "Our House." While "Almost Cut My Hair" strikes a more eccentric note, the record finds its peak in the title track’s Pink Floyd-esque tempo shifts and the timeless resonance of "Woodstock." Ending on the high note of "Everybody I Love You," the album earns a 5/5 for its ability to transform disparate moods—from country-tinged social commentary to grand, theatric climaxes—into one of the genre's most essential listening experiences.
3.5
very enjoyable boomer classic
This record was very good. I wasn't expecting what was given here, but I am pleasantly surprised. Favourite Track(s): Almost Cut My Hair, Deja Vu, Our House Least Favourite Track(s): Carry On
The beautiful harmonies and warm folk-rock sound often feel nostalgic, but there is also an underlying sense of uncertainty and emotional weariness running through the record. Almost Cut My Hair and Helpless stood out to me the most. In particular, “letting my freak flag fly” felt deeply relatable to me as someone who has grown older without ever fully fitting into society.
Love this album! CSNY's best. Highlights: "Helpless" and "Our House"
Fairly good vibe. I liked Our House that was a good one.
Liked Woodstock and our house, nothing special though
I was not expecting to like it as much as I did! I enjoyed the cross section between classic rock, folk, and country and thought the intersection of them were fused artfully. I thought the vocal harmonies throughout the album were tasteful and contributed positively to their overall sound. Additionally, the light guitar licks between verses/choruses were effective in adding interest, without taking away from the focus of the song. Personally, my favorite tracks were Almost Cut My Hair and Deja Vu. Would absolutely listen again!
I already love the vibe from the moment the first song starts. It’s so chill! The kind of music to just kick back to.
3.7
I actually know and really like Teach Your Children and Our House, I didn't know this was the group that did those songs! It definitely captures the general feel of the 70's, that's for sure. Good background music for work, maybe not an album I personally would choose to actively listen to.
A lot of great tracks on this one. Carry On, Teach Your Children, Woodstock, and Our House are all classics and Neil Young's Helpless was new to me but very good. What really makes this a supergroup is seeing how each member contributes so much to the songwriting. There were a couple that didn't hit as much for me, but this is a very fine album.
"our house" fave song out of the album and "carry on." Makes me remember of my grandparents blasting music like this in speakers at 2 pm. "4+20" is a vibe too damn. Reminds me of the movie Sinners highkey. Anyways 3.7/5
No pass out sign on the Door set me thinking Are waitresses paying the Price of their winking While stars sit at bars and Decide what they're drinking They drop by to die 'cause It's faster than sinking Too late to keep the change Too late to pay No time to stay the same Too late to keep the change Too late to pay No time to stay the same Too young to leave Find out that now was the Answer to answers That you gave later She did the things that we Both did before now But who forgave her? If I could stand to see her crying I would tell her not to care When she learns of all your lyin' Will she join you there? COUNTRY GIIIIRRRLLLL I THINK YOU'RE PRETTY, GOT TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAAAANNNNDDDD, HAVE NO LOVERS IN THE CITYYYYYY, LET ME BEEEEEEE YOUR COUNTRY MAAAANNNNN
This one brings back memories of seeing CSN&Y live twice in 1975 and a highlight was an extended version of "Carry on." Distinctive guitars play with "Almost cut my hair" with Stephen and Neil. Also, another memory form that time was a high school friend who was a piano savant. He listened to "Our house" twice then sat down to his piano and played it from start to finish. The two weakest songs were from Neil Young compared the rest of the album.
Wait this may be one of my favorites. Also of course major props for there being a dog in the album cover which brought me into a deep dive of the creation of the album cover which was so cool to read about. I love humans and I love music. The electric guitar on Deja Vu may have changed my life. I actually had a spiritual experience after this album deep diving into these guys and genre. Unbelievable that i’m having my 70’s rock awakening this late tbh.
recien termino de escucharlo, es el primero. la verdad sorprendido, hay dos canciones que me quedaron enganchadas, un solido 8/10.
A classic album. Sounds from my childhood, and stuff that my father would blast out loud. I didn't realize how iconic this was. Now, I get it. I would listen to it again.
Pretty boring. It's folk rock but like not in an interesting way.
It was pretty good nothing outstanding.
This album is great. Nearly a five. Came up just short.
A solid folk rock album that leans more towards rock. Both the instrumentals and vocals were decent to good. I will say that this album's cover of "Woodstock" is definitely worse than Joni Mitchell's version.
This is so boring.
This is some real hippie ass shit.
No lo acabé de escuchar, se me hizo tan aburrido, neta q pedo con los gringos y su obsesión por el country
I was familiar with a lot of this record and enjoyed the vibe of the whole thing . A couple of beautiful standouts.
Probably their best album yet I can objectively say it very awesome but the country twist is not personal preference. The blues aspect thou is mindblowing and gives it another level of technical and improvisation vibe. A very good album
Наконец-то кантриговно
Who would of thought that adding Neil Young to the roster would make it better? Crazy idea...
Well this is some boomer rock right here. But it's also a stone cold classic, basically a greatest hits collection. Having Young on board for this it is the icing on the cake with his contributions "Helpless" and "Country Girl." Yes, the hippie manifesto "Almost Cut My Hair" is pretty cringe but "Teach Your Children," "Woodstock," "Our House"...pretty damn good.
Defining folk rock album. Unsurprisingly I found myself most drawn to the songs that Neil Young wrote and sang lead on, but there's not a bad song on this. Also really enjoyed the Joni Mitchell-penned Woodstock
A best album ever....
Two cats in the yard
Ouvido em 28/04/2026.
My brother loves this, classic
I enjoyed.
Didn’t expect to like this so much but it was pretty damn sick. I’m proper loving the albums around 1970 and the summer of love. Everything about this album is great but the Crosby tracks are something else. 8.5 / 10 Best track/s: Almost Cut My Hair, Our House, Deja Vu
A pleasant listen with a surprise hit I didn't realise was theirs
I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this one. Some tunes I recognised that were either covers or the original.
Listenable hippy rock. Sounded better on the second listen, so 3.5 stars from me.
I really enjoyed this album, lots of creative songwriting
This is really good. I don't know what I can say about these beautiful harmonies and interesting arrangements that hasn't been said before about these guys, but this is a great and enjoyable listen. It was a little more rockin' overall than I was expecting! I knew "Our House" by name coming into this, but a few of the other songs were mainstays growing up with my parents' record collection that I couldn't really place until now. Really good, will absolutely listen again and would most likely buy the record were I to come upon it in the wild.
it's growing on me. some good songs i'm glad to have heard. faves: helpless, woodstock, déjà vu, our house, country girl
I have a core memory of listening to "Woodstock" for the first time on a boat off the shore of Hawaii just before going parasailing. Love that song.
A fine album. Didnt find myself over the moon but it was a fun listen.
Classic album by this supergroup Beautiful harmonies. Brilliant songwriting and playing. Still sounds great today.
This was good but it was kind of what I expected. Great harmonies though
Tästä kokoonpanosta vain Neil Young on itselleni erityisen tuttu, mutta kyllä muutkin jäsenet suoriutuvat hyvin. Deja Vu on tasavahva albumi, joka edustaa aikansa folk rockia sieltä paremmasta päästä.
Good solid classics on this album, nothing I feel particularly passionate about.
Really good! Has a cool old feel but feels like it was ahead of its time. Good listening music for just about any occasion I reckon. 4.25/5
I actually like that 70s parallel moving harmony stuff when I'm in the right mood. Works on Teach Your Children really well and turns out quite sweet. Some of these are a little dull, I actually think Helpless drags way too hard despite being lyrically evocative. That one's pretty boring while songs like Deja Vu have a decent amount of harmonic intrigue and keep me interested. I think it's somewhat of mixed bag all said, sometimes it's fairly dense musically and lyrically and other times it's dry and passable. I think the good outweighs the average just enough that I'd call this a 3.
Déjà Vu has lovely harmonies, emotional songs, and relaxing atmosphere, making it enjoyable and memorable, although some tracks feel less interesting, causing the album to lose energy occasionally before returning with stronger melodies and performances that show why many listeners still appreciate it so much today overall.
This is great, really enjoyed this album. Great for late night listening.
Muy tranquilo, me encantó para momentos específicos
Notables - Carry On - Helpless
Always liked Our House. The remainder are pleasant enough.
Not completely my genre, but this is a really good album, I confess I have the singles, "Teach Your Children" and "Our House". This is between a 4 and a 3, but it's not 100% my thing, so....
really enjoy this album
This record sounds great - really excellent country-fried rock, fun good-time music...for people my dad's age. to my ears it sounds dated, even for its time, compared to other contemporary works that have found more purchase and influence in music in the intervening years. this sounds deliberately of its time. it is really good, it's just stuck in 1970. it doesn't help that i've been hearing songs from this album forever - on the radio, on my dad's stereo, store muzak systems, passing cars, movie soundtracks. personally i am biased towards the pieces with stronger neil young influence, i find his later solo work more compelling than the others.
I don't like speaking in superalatives when speaking about the Laurel Canyon sound and movement. But, CSN+Y might have been it. Well woven blend of blues, country and western and folk songs into artful renditions with so much character and feeling. The 4 part harmonies are so damn good and I for certain love the voicing of the acoustic arrangements. And obviously nod to the top of the line production elements for 1970. Easiest 4 star of my life. I will always come back to this and have been an enjoyer. I think the only thing preventing a 5 star rating is that it falls below some of my favorite 5 star albums of this era and this genre.
Wildly different quality from track to track, some of them are just more talented than the other 3.5*
I get chills when I hear "Helpless." If only every squeakquel had a Neil Young.
An album I've listened to all of my life. The first time I remember hearing Helpless I was probably 3 or 4 so I thought Neil sang of Big Bird from Sesame Street "Flying across the sky". I still picture that image to this day. A super album from a supergroup. What new can be said? Teach your children well, let your freak flag fly and witness the quickness with which we get along....
5 stars
me gustó el álbum pero siento q le falta algo q lo haga destacar, es un rock normal y encima al ser corto lo hace sentir un poco simple, pero igual está muy bueno
good relaxing listen. i heard a lot of folk elements combined with the rock-sound. (not my vibe tbh) my fav track was woodstock :)
pretty good, still not enough clear instrumentals but got a song so we chill
My only critique is that it's too short
Really good album. Great musicianship here. A must!
Solid album, even though I'm not much of a folk guy it was an enjoyable experience. Not something I'd actively come back to though.
There's way too much mediocre folk from Laurel Canyon on this list, but Neil Young's contribution makes this one of the better examples. It has "Helpless" and "Woodstock", which are great, but also stinkers like "Our house". Well...
Definitely a bit more "poppy" and Beatle-esque than I expected! There are some great songs in here. Not much to really dislike, either. Favorites: Carry On, Teach Your Children, Our House, 4+20
Never been a CSN, CSNY, or even just a Y guy. Idk, just never came up in my classic rock education for some reason. Blame my dad. Maybe a little bit too much in the hippie scene for me to fully embrace. Helpless is great (though how much of that is because of my love of its performance in THE LAST WALTZ and Neil Young's coke booger)! The rest is pretty good! Maybe one day I'll really dive in to these guys and all their separate oeuvres.
Says nothing to me.
Not for me!
it basically sounds like what it is - four individual songwriters each mostly contributing a couple tracks for themselves. fortunately each of them is quite good, the changeup keeps it from getting stale, and the vocals are pretty locked in (you'll note nobody asks neil young to harmonize with them). instrumentally nothing happens aside from an occasional fun guitar excursion, but that's not the focus.
Great from start to finish. Every song compliments the others.
Did anyone else recognize Teach Your Children from Bring Your Daughter to Work Day on The Office? I had only heard that song and Our House before. The rest are solid -- great tight vocal harmonies, good guitar playing. I think my favorite is the title track which sounds a little more like prog rock than the rest of the album.
A fantastic release from front to back from a group of incredibly talented musicians I look forward to hearing more of. 1 listen Favorite Tracks: Country Girl, Carry On, Our House
Expectation: -> Definitely know the band name but cannot spontaneously name a song. After listening: -> Wow. Early prediction for summer '26…Smores over the firepit with a cocktail listening to Deja Vu. Track ranking: Hair Children House Carry Helpless Woodstock Love Deja Country 4
I enjoyed this, classic 70s stuff here
Starting like a charging bull out the gates, Carry On careens through the first 2 minutes, guitar strings strumming like the blades of a helicopter. Then the arrangement breaks - the CSN&Y call out in unison, a call to arms, 'Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all.' It's magnificent. Part psychedelic rock, part folk rock, all talent. Next up, Teach Your Children is a more traditional folk tune CSN style joint, fingerpicked and vocal harmony lead. Followed by Almost Cut My Hair, an audaciously visceral howl of guitar and vocal emotion that would be a climactic screeching needle drop in any movie set in the 60's or 70's, in fact I imagine it has been. Helpless is a Neil Young lead number, and by gum, it really makes a difference having him backed up by the harmonies of the other boys. It's also a more cohesively structured song than you might be used to from Young and it really makes a difference to it's accessibility. He really shines here. Deju Vu another psychedelic weird beauty of a song, lyrics about wondering whats underground and whatnot. Super cool, only to be followed by what I consider one of the most devastatingly beautiful songs ever written about domestic love. How "Our House" finds the beauty in the everyday, the flowers, the cats , the fireplace. It's poetry, it's unbelievably good. And it manages to milk tears from me every time they sing "life used to be so hard, now everything is easy cause of you". Anyone who has struggled through life, to find relief in the struggle because they found a partner to do it all with, will understand this song in their soul. This is a desert island disc for certain. And it's made even more magical knowing that it was written by Graham Nash about his and Joni Mitchells relationship in their little home in Laurel Canyon. Their early demo of this together is also heartbreakingly beautiful. I won't go into further detail about the songs on the record, because they're all quite brilliant and I could explain why at length, but you're better off just putting it on and letting it have you. Enjoy!
i’d say „carry on” or „almost cut my hair” are the best songs. honorary mention (out of all the rest what i also liked) was „teach your children”, „4+20” and „country girl”. the rest didn’t really get into my music taste, 2/10 songs were lowkey peak, 3/10 were great, and then the rest meh but still good. overall what i’d say is good is „carry on” or „almost cut my hair” (mostly „carry on”)
good
good, felt like a cool old man listening to this the whole day
Incredibly beautiful, one of the pinnacles of folk rock.
This was not my vibe unfortunately. The concept is cool though!
A masterpiece of a true supergroup.
This is probably the ultimate folk-rock album. Crosby, Stills, Nash (& Young)’s debut was already a massive success, but “Déjà Vu” surpasses it once again, at least in terms of sales and impact. With the addition of Neil Young and his rock-oriented guitar, the album became significantly more folkROCK than its predecessor, though the quartet managed to strike a balance between ballads, folk songs, protest songs and rock songs. The characteristic harmonies of the core trio (supplemented here and there by Neil Young’s falsetto) dominate the sound. A true classic of the genre and of rock history in general.
Enough of Neil Young he’s been on the list too much. Also reheating the Beatle’s nachos
This was a nice, bittersweet listen with beautiful harmonies. Never been a big fan of folk, but this is actually really good for the genre. Even though Neil Young has too many albums on this list, this one should not be cut!
A great album for the times very polished and lots of memorable songs. A very talented bunch.
Minus one star for the Graham Nash songs
Extremely biased. One of my favorite albums of all time. The harmonies can bring tears to my eyes. Absolute masterclass in songwriting. 6/5.
This was a nice listen
Tirando
Mixed bag, but overall a good bag. The parts where it was just Neil Young on the mic were the best (coz he's obviously got a proper standout voice). Helpless was a standout, alongside Woodstock by Joni which I didn't know was on this. Songs varied in quality but were never awful. Nice!
All of the songs are very well constructed (which I guess makes sense since this is a supergroup) and the harmonies are done well.
A classic already in my rotation
Honestly when this popped up I wasn’t really in the mood for it but it grabbed me within less than a minute of the first track. A perfect, easy listen for a quiet Sunday in work. Top Track - Our House
I really like the different vibes of the album, my favourite song of the album is Woodstock.
Todo mi rollo
Acoustic guitars and beautiful harmonies in this very relaxed Americana folk rock album. There is a feeling of nostalgia and reminiscence that runs through this album. I think that the use of piano and acoustic guitar in a downbeat way will always stir up thoughts and feelings of the past for me. The huge stand out hit on this album is "Our House", with its use of piano, harpsichord and acoustic guitar, this track has so much ennui that it is clear that it is more than just me that has found themselves listening to this track and thinking about every house that they have ever lived in and wondering if they would ever see those places ever again. Neil Young's vocals on "Helpless" set a particularly sombre tone. But I feel like that is one of Neil Young's special skills. The ability to make a song feel grave and grandiose all at once. Thankfully David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash are there to provide a slightly more upbeat sound. But only slightly. (3.750)
Super sympa, mix country rock folk des beatles américains pas mal
Meh album. Sounds like queen a little bit
Better than Coldplay
I got extremely bored because I reaaally don't like this type of folksy country stuff at all. Pretty vocal harmonies though.
First album of the 1001 Carry On - alright Teach Your Children - corny 70s harmonies Almost Cut My Hair - corny but might be better with more listens, NY guitar solos Helpless - Slower, 4.0, Add Woodstock - boring Deja Vu - interesting intro, 6/8 time signature for the verses, shifting to 7/4 for the chorus, and ending in 4/4. Add, great rolled off treble guitar tone towards the end that goes into a bass solo, realizing it's the titular track, 4.0 Our House - our house is a very very fine house, fine 4 + 20 - great acoustic guitar intro, add Country Girl - Big and swirling, good not great, builds in a weird way, too much 70s harmony, harmonica outro is out of place Everybody I Love You - good but not for me Album score: 3.0
Absolutely fantastic, melodic, rhythmic, with so much soul and passion
Esta bueno
Album #70: Déjà Vu - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young Genre (W): Folk rock Singles: Woodstock, Teach Your Children, Our House, Carry On I have listened to this album once before. Thoughts?: The harmonies on this album are heavenly, they remind me a lot of Eagles or The Beach Boys harmonies. I also love the songwriting of the four members, and their cover of “Woodstock” was amazing. Favorite songs: All of it!!
Adaugat
old slow album but still like the music
#3 7th April 2026 I love the vocals, the instrumentals. Solid to listen to track mentions; country girl (the beginning) helpless(something about those vocals)
I have listened to this album hundreds of times. One of my all time favorite albums.
Muito bom mas não é muito meu estilo
knew it was gonna be good from the cover alone
Okkk county cunty luviee GOTTA BE MY NEWEST FAVVV
me trajo un poco de calma en un día que de por si alucinaba con 38 de fiebre.
Sonará chistoso pero, irónicamente tuve un deja vu mientras escuchaba la canción "Deja Vu". Aunque, al final, ni me gustó la canción realmente.
As a whole, I thought this album was okay... Nothing special, but a good listen from start to end. I just felt that some of the songs on the album sounded too similar. I understand that the genre of the album isn't really going to change much throughout, but I just think that some of the songs sounded a bit too much like each other, which meant that it took a bit more to make any songs stand out. I think 'Carry On' is a really good opening track; it introduces you to the sound of the album with a really upbeat feel. I really enjoy the stacked vocals/harmonies throughout the entire album; they work really well and aren't ever overused. It is slightly shorter than most albums, but I think, for this, it works well that way; I think much longer, and it would have started to slightly drone on after a while. The songs themselves seemed a good length, with some variation of a couple of longer ones and shorter ones thrown in the mix. I think the way the instrumental worked in 'Deja Vu' was very clever, also. The start of the track consists of a very short, repeating instrumental motif, giving a genuine sense of deja vu. Favourites: Almost Cut My Hair Deja Vu Our House Everybody I Love You
Oldies
"Our House" is one of my parents' Songs, with a capital S. It belonged to them. They always laughed at the part about having two cats in the yard. When they were first married, that song meant a lot to them. Listening to it now, when I have a house and a family of my own, it hits differently than it did for me back then. Back then it was my parents' story, and now its mine, too. And the line that sticks out to me isn't about cats, it's "Life used to be so hard, now everything is easy 'cause of you," and it doesn't make me laugh, it makes me cry. FOUR STARS
Cool
Not peak CSNY but still great
esta muy bueno, es una mezcla entre fleetwood, los beatles y musica country
7/10 Did not think I would like this that much. A couple of iconic songs. Can not add any songs to any playlist however.
Me gustó. Me faltó una reescuchada para terminar de cerrarlo.
Lovely pleasant album with lovely pleasant harmonies. Who knew Kevin Nash could sing like that.
I found this quite unremarkable hippy nonsense. Sick of hearing about woodstock crosby. Until our house. What a lovely song. Gets a 3 just cos of our house.
Great album! Solid 4.5! Great songs and harmonies from four very talented singer/songwriters. Some of the lyrics are a little dated now but not still not one bad song on it. Stand outs are cut my hair, helpless, woodstock and our house.
Very nice. Dont think they all need to sing at the same time. Back off. Sit down Stills. Our House is sublime. 5 for that. 3.5 for the rest.
Some great songs here. Could easily give a 4. Last couple aren’t as strong though.
Really good stuff. Wish there was a 4.5 option.
I give it 4/5 ⭐️ I love the cover. 💽
Very nice harmonies and folky feel. Reminds me of The Partridge Family
Me dieron una vibe parecida a los Beatles. Mis canciones fav fueron Country Girl y 4 + 20.
Meh
An iconic band, the harmonies in their slower ballads and harder rocking songs never get old
I have never listened to this album, but I wasn't surprised I already knew the first seven songs well. I am not a fan of folk music, and so a lot of CSN's music isn't my favorite. When Neil Young is in the mix, there's an edge to the music that pulls it into a space I really enjoy. I've also mellowed in middle age, and have a broader taste window, lol. In any case, this album is really fabulous. I'd give it 4.5 stars if i could.
This is a fine album. Nothing wrong with it at all. Three stars.
This is soooo boring. It's so highly rated I assumed there would be more going on.
Very nostalgic to me
There’s something v interesting about this being from a supergroup. Partly i just like the term but also at points i felt like the album lacked a distinct voice and then at other times i was listening to the most beautiful song i’d ever heard. I guess both can be true.
Didn’t have high hopes for this but then quite enjoyed Carry On. The rest was whatever but also kinda liked Everybody I Love You
The great songs on this are all time great songs and the good ones are very good. CSNY has always felt like the kind of band where I was never sold on them simply because Neil Young as a solo artist feels much more compelling but I’m glad I took the time to listen to this. Our House is the undoubted highlight - one of the most beautiful love songs of all time.
like duh
Honestly blown away. Amazing instrumentation and moods to this album. Definitely going to revisit!

“Our house” is all I want from life 🫶🏼this album is so comforting, intricate and introspective yet calming- I curled up with my journal and a candle and listened to it far to late at night and it was beautiful 🤎
Really enjoyed this album! I wont even lie - super biased with the mention of Northern Ontario. Never thought i’d hear a sound like this from the 70s. Really appreciative for this app and the music I can find. Rating: 4.3 Favourite song: Woodstock
esta okey
This is near the peak of early 70s folk rock, which had a lot of competition. CSN had already set a high bar with their first album, and adding Neil Young went about as well as they could have hoped for -- he augmented their sound and songwriting, in particular with his edgier lead guitar lines, without hurting the chemistry and harmonies that CSN already had. The songs here are a bit up and down in terms of quality, or at least impactfulness. But Woodstock and Helpless almost push this to 5 stars on their own.
No thanks.
Just fine. Didn't really hit for me. Weirdly Everybody I Love You stood out, despite not being the hit off this album at all. Ultimately to me this doesn't do any one thing well enough to be a landmark album, even as it is a good example of a certain post-Beatles era sound.
არც ერთი სიმღერა არ დამამახსოვრდა, კლასიკური მიდ 70იანების როკია, არაფერი განსაკუთრებული, ჭყიპინა გიტარა და მოსაწყენი ვოკალები, არავითარი ემოცია არ გამოიწვია ჩემში, 5/10
It's crazy how good "Our House" is compared to the rest of the album. It carries. Hard.
Amazing stuff. Hit factory
Excellent record. This probably hit HARD in 1970! Can't even imagine
Solid album streak. I really like the music and vocals. Mellow and warm. Good lyrics, if a bit haphazard feeling at times. Enjoyable album.
It was a short unmemorable album
Not a bad album, it was pretty chill leaving it in the background, and I think that I even recognised one of ths songs. It is a fairly old album, but it was nice just listening to it while I was doing other stuff.
Not a fan. Reminded me of The Who and kind of the Beatles but not as good. Was shocked to hear Our House, had no idea that was this band.
After completely kicking a$$ on their first album, Crosby, Stills, and Nash had to figure out how to top themselves. They decided to use a cheat code named Neil Young. Mission accomplished! This is easily the best overall CSN effort.
An exceptional folk rock album. Enjoyed pulling out my leather bound vinyl copy to listen.
Classic album with some great songs. Helpless is a perfect Neil Young song.
