Deja Vu

Album #57, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Déjà Vu ⭐⭐⭐ This was a favourite album of mine when I was a teenager, and it’s been a long time since I listened to it. It’s kind of mad that this is the best-selling album in Neil Young’s catalogue, even though he’s only on it in a fairly limited way. Maybe I’ve just grown out of this group over the years, but I think it’s quite a mixed bag now. Funnily enough, the tracks where they come together as a full group are the weakest. “Carry On” is pretentious hippie bullshit to me. “Everybody I Love You” is less pretentious, more of a rocker, but still doesn’t do much. Their harmonies are obviously beautiful, but they can feel glossy and overused, like more of a display of ability than something that actually serves the songs. That’s a strange criticism for a band known for their harmonies, but sometimes it just comes across as a bit over the top. “Woodstock” is another one. Their version doesn’t come close to Joni Mitchell’s spooky original. And the title track “Déjà Vu”, which is the ultimate nonsensical David Crosby song. It has some lovely moments, but overall it just feels like a kind of folky prog thing that doesn’t really land for me. “Country Girl” is a strange Neil Young track, more like his Buffalo Springfield era. Interesting chord progression, but it’s over-arranged and not as direct. A weak Young song in a period where he wrote virtually none. On the positive side, the songs that showcase the individual strengths of the group are stronger. “Helpless” is a beautiful Neil Young track, one of his best.“Our House” is very twee, but it’s also a lovely, catchy English-style pop song from Graham Nash. “4 + 20” is a simple, sombre Stephen Stills track that really suits his voice. And then there’s “Almost Cut My Hair”, which is easily the best David Crosby song. It’s direct, powerful, energetic, soulful, and has great fucking lyrics. All the things that can be missing from his music at times are there. I remember Crosby himself saying those were the most juvenile lyrics he ever wrote. No David, they were the best! That’s kind of the album in a nutshell. Track for track, it’s just a mixed bag. I’d probably take their debut over this. It feels more focused, more tuneful, and the harmonies don’t burden the songs.

CSNY became something of a punchline, eventually. Neil Young has a deserved reputation of being a little eccentric and political (two things I absolutely don't begrudge him; may we all be so) and the other guys seem to be viewed by a lot of people my age as semi-hippy wankers. Here's the thing: the music is good. Stephen Stills is famous for a bunch of gorgeous love songs like 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes' (from their '69 debut) that are ultimately about what a shitty partner he is. After one of his marriages dissolved, he wrote a song about the healing power of sailing from California to Polynesia, in what may be the least relatable story of a song I'm aware of. But that song ('Southern Cross', from 1982's Daylight Again) is utterly beautiful. So are 'Teach Your Children' and 'Helpless'. It's reasonable to feel weird about any one of these guys (Dave Crosby weirds me out for reasons I can't explain, even to myself) but the music they produced together is gorgeous. The first side of the record is excellent and includes a song by each, plus one they cribbed from Joni Mitchell. I think that the personal shortcomings of the members of this band (not Neil, he's great) and their famously volatile relationships to each other have overshadowed the quality of what they produced together. Anyway, it's wicked. It's not perfect and it sure does sound like its time but it's a good album and has a really strong focus on harmony -- something Crosby and Nash were famous for -- combined with generally good songwriting, juiced by the inclusion of Stills and Young. Don't hate, just listen. 4/5

Quintessential and classic. Perfect for cruising or a day of cleaning

Me gustó mucho como hacían llorar a la guitarra

I just really like this album.

Enjoyed the more rocky songs more than the folkier ones, but on the whole a good album! Some lovely guitar and vocal harmonies.

I’m not sure why — perhaps its the cloying, simplistic hippie naïveté — but I absolutely cannot stand “Teach Your Children” and “Our House,” the two Graham Nash songs. It’s not like I disagree with the sentiment of “Teach Your Children.” And, sure, I get it: “Our House” is an ode to his wonderful life with Joni. But….ugh. It’s like those terrible love songs written by lovelorn solo McCartney. Those two songs alone bumped this album down a full star. And another thing about CSN&Y for me that I’m not proud of: I just don’t like their harmonies. Which is crazy. I love harmonies in music, and Pandora has proven that to me time and time again. But certain bands — like CSN&Y, America, The Beach Boys — I just don’t care for their particular harmonies.

A harmony‑driven, emotionally charged masterpiece

Really really great folk album that showcases 4 great songwriters putting together a great mixture of some of their strongest stuff. There's like 7 classics in a row on this thing. The finale track is kind of a bad ending, though.

ourrrr house is a very very very fine house some great folky stuff here

I'm so sorry , but I find this album a little too inconsistent to consider it "GREAT." Maybe more listens are required. I'M SORRY.

It was a surprisingly enjoyable listening as this kind of music usually not really my style (and I’m not easily surprised). But Almost Cut My Hair, 4 + 20, Carry On, Deja Vu - just great. Other tracks are no slouch either (except a couple of tracks I didn’t like)

Dog on the cover is not credited but is clearly a pillar of the band. Some songs are more polished and rock-oriented (Almost Cut My Hair), others more rootsy (Our House, Teach Your Children). Let your freak flag fly. Unexpected jazzy energy on the title track. First real folk rock album I've heard. Lovely listen.

Too old and country for me to listen to it closely

Great actually. Especially 'Almost Cut My Hair' is fire. Stand-outs - Carry On - Almost Cut My Hair - Woodstock - Deja Vu

Excellent album, you've got great singing and playing, quality songs and vibe that really goes with the times the music was created in.

Decent sound but not my taste.

excelente album 10/10. no los conocía pero son geniales. rock folk del bueno. ni una cancion que no me guste.

This has got a bit of everything, reflecting, I guess, the disparate personalities of the four protagonists at the time. Didn't know Our House was a Graham Nash song....I know nothing about music!

This was a rollercoaster of an album. I loved it. Some songs felt like country and folk music, some songs felt like proper rock and roll songs, and some songs were quite slow and felt like they had a similar vibe to that of The Beatles. Some tracks I did recognise from films and social media but I didn't know they're originally from this album, which was good to know. Definitely will listen again. Favourite songs: Carry On Teach Your Children Woodstock Our House

Pleasant

Our house is rightfully the star track on this album. Neil Young is the dominant voice, some good writing from Joni Mitchell on featured tracks.

Toll!

Nice!!

Classic for a Reason! Woodstock generation’s romantic and lyrical & harmony masterpieces!

3.5/5 Favorite songs: Carry on Woodstock Our House

NICE ALBUM

ya 3

Definetly better than my previous album of just CSN.

Enjoyed. I have heard a few of the songs growing up.

Great harmonies. I really enjoyed this album. Helpless would be my faite track.

This album isn't really my type of music, but the musicianship, the vocal harmonies, and the production values are great. A solid album.

Not my cup of tea...

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this one, given I'd been pretty cold on albums by Neil Young and Stephen Stills earlier. I probably enjoyed "Carry On" and "Woodstock" the most, and struggled a little with "Teach Your Children" (though that's probably more the fault of all the ways slide guitar has been used since this album). Neil Young's "Helpless" is another strong contribution. I couldn't help but think of a certain muppet every time he sang "big birds flying across the sky," but I enjoyed it anyway. Reading about the album it sounds like it was a difficult recording session, but it probably helped bring out the best in each individual.

Enjoyed. It’s mellow, thoughtful, and timeless.

So I learned that I like Crosby, stills, and Nash way more than I like Crosby, stills, Nash, and young. Cool

Really enjoyed Our House a lot. Not so much into country rock but these guys seem pretty alright to meet my tastes.

Of all the "discoveries" I've made through listening to this list, Neil Young has so far been my favourite. "Harvest" and "After the Gold Rush" are great albums and have entered my regular listening rotation... and this album has joined them. (Managed to find a cheap copy of the album on vinyl too--score!) But I guess now I need to look more into Crosby, Stills, and Nash's catalogue. Very listenable. "Helpless" and "My House" are standouts, imo. There are some dips in that I don't quite resonate with every track, but the album as a whole is very accessible.

1974 was het jaar dat ik een beetje naar popmuziek begon te luisteren. The Beatles kende ik niet. Twee verzamelaars, de rode en de blauwe, waren mijn eerste kennismaking. Daarna kwamen Queen, Neil Diamond, Simon and Garfunkel etc. Alles was nieuw voor mij. Maar ik kreeg de smaak te pakken. Bij de bibliotheek kon je ook lpees lenen. Daar moest je dan voor betalen en het geld dat ik had was koffiegeld dat ik niet had uitgegeven. Deja vu zag ik tussen de platen staan. Een intrigerende hoes en titel en ook de naam van de band: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Bij de eerste keren luisteren waren het vooral de harmonieën die me aanspraken. Later kwamen daar ook de nummers van Neil Young bij. Zo kwetsbaar en een beetje rouw. Nog steeds een prachtige plaat voor mij

Ik he bijna mijn haar geknipt vandaag, het was kantjeboord. Ik kan hier niet op haten, ik heb dit album heel vaak beluisterd en nog steeds luister ik het met plezier. De nummers zijn goed geproduceerd en uitstekend geschreven. De harmoniën zijn heel goed. Neil young blijft ook gewoon een hele leuke artiest. Dit album is een album waar ik elk nummer leuk vind om te beluisteren.

Maf Album, eigenlijk zijn alleen de harmonieën in sync. Het album gaat veel verschillende kanten op. Duidelijkste dissonant is toch wel Neil Young. Niet alleen in stemgeluid maar ook in stijl. Nash is minst favoriet voor mij, het is tikkeltje te zoet maar hierdoor klinken Crosby en Young ook weer interessanter. Muziekanten die niet goed bij elkaar passen maar toch erg goed met elkaar mengen. Snap nog steeds niet helemaal hoe dit werkt maar het werkt wel.

Paar keer het album geluisterd, na de eerste keer luisteren vond ik het album een beetje tegenvallen gezien de status, ik vond het een beetje overrated. over het weekend heb ik het nog een paar keer op gezet waarbij het meer en meer op zijn plek valt. uiteraard zijn de harmonieeen iets wat er bovenuit steekt, maar ook het gitaarspel vind ik heel erg mooi. Het is een soort all-star band waarin de muzikaliteit er van af spat. Ik vind de afwisseling in de nummers ook fijn. Leukste nummers: Deja vu 4+20 Country girl

cmon.......

I can see why this album is so popular. The harmonies are tight and it’s musically interesting. Neil Young ruins it for me. What a tool.

HA whereas prior albums were entirely new to me, I have almost this whole album saved. I want to listen to it in the absence of anything else. Song exploder for Our House is what brought me to this album back in October (‘25) and the song has been in my head ever since. Just lovely vibes all around

this is btw a 3 and 4

I love how you get a sense of each of their individual songwriting and performing styles as you traverse the album.

I do not like these men.

So good

Bon album du trio accompagné par Neil Young qui débutait une carrière solo de son côté. Des morceaux devenus des classiques du folk-rock hippie. Malgré une alchimie de Neil Young avec CSN qu'à de rares moments. Mais essentiel pour ensuite se lancer dans sa disco.

It was good classic rock it didn’t do anything surprising

A nice mix of blues & rock

3,9/5

Prettttty gooood

Classic record. Maybe the greatest super group?

They don’t make super groups like they used to

Great, classic, and era defining music. Bravo!

Deja Vu is an album that’s better listened to song by song. The harmonies in the singing get to be a bit much when you listen to all of it together. The songs are all good but a bit of variety would help. And unsurprisingly my favorite songs were the ones written by Neil Young

Was ok.

Great album. Favorite tracks: 'Almost Cut My Hair' and 'Our House'.

A really great album. Not perfect, but up there.

Liked this a little more than the CS&N album I had the day before. On a relisten this might just nudge into a 4, but for now it's a high 3

Timeless!

Supergroups always fun

Really great album

It’s hard to listen to this objectively having heard it so many times over the years. Having said that, you can’t diminish the quality of this work. Beautiful songwriting, great melodies and the harmonies are what CSN(&Y) were so famous for. Superb album. 4.5

Should really be 4.5* if some of the highs were higher it would be 5*

Couldn't decide on 3 or 4, so a harsh 3.

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

The folksy songs suck, the rock songs are good, this is definitely a continuation if the byrds

Fav- teach your children 4/5

American harmonies at their peak. Yes, I know Graham Nash is British but he was influenced primarily by American music. This album is five star all the way through.

⭐⭐⭐⭐- Tycker om det här albumet, det blir ganska varierat med så många låtskrivare och sångare, men det är nog Neil som lyfter det både låtmässigt och att han tillför lite välbehövlig grit med sitt gitarrspel och sång. Kan ibland tycka att harmonierna kan bli lite mycket, det blir lite för polerat som på spåret Deja Vu. Bäst är Alomost cut my harir, Helpless, Our house och Country girl. Det är ett starkt album men med vissa element (harmonier) som stör lite grand. Så det blir en svag 4a.

Very smooth and easy to listen to. Great songwriting and melodies. I've always liked Our House.

I love how many distinctive sounds there are on this album, and how well they all mesh. Teach Your Children, Our House, and Helpless are some of my absolute favorites.

This is an amazing album. So good but maybe because it fits so well currently(03/2026).

Best 50 albums ever.

Certainly holds its own today. Maybe I'm prejudiced, having listened to my older sister's album as a kid and being entranced. I know the harmonies are great but Almost Cut My Hair lets you focus on the music--better than I remember, much better. Welcome to the 70s, disco and punk tiny dots on the horizon, folk/country rock in high ascendance, deja vu for real.

Some lovely tunes. Such a shame shame the background is fractured. But there’s some classics here.

Damn, what a good record. Compositions are fantastic, vocals and harmonies are good as they get and elevate the songs. Magical coalescence of talent and vision. There's a great jazzy-instrumental take on this record done by a guy (I met once in Chicago) named Fareed Haque. I recommend giving it a spin.

I listened to this one quite a bit as a kid, and listening today, it's remarkable how much of it I remember even though I haven't heard it in decades. There's definitely something about these guys that rubs me the wrong way, though their great songs are definitely great. It's hard to hate Our House, for example, even though it's so earnest and cute and maybe even cloying and yet I still love it. I don't know what that says about me. Also, I was surprised at how much bass Stephen Stills plays on this (I always thought Greg Reeves handled all of it), and man, what a monster bassist he is. Then again, he's a monster everything. And I love that EEEEBE tuning of his that he uses here and on their first album. Anyway, I find these guys annoying and I also admire much of what they do, which from what I gather about their relationship, pretty much sums up how they all felt about each other, too.

Man I loved everything about this album...and I still do! I remember the physical LP was textured and kind of heavy, like a nice book with gilded pages. A classic.

From barbershop quartet to yeehaw pedal steel to Southern rock to pure pop, this is a diverse albums. Great songwriters come together and put out a raggle taggle album with some genuine gems

The 5 stars really don't need an explanation.

Um bom albums, nada excepicional

Heard Before; 4; There's a lot to take in with this album. I really enjoy the harmonies, and even though it kinda has that corny, too-sweet harmonized sound of 70s rock, I feel like I'm able to listen to this album with fresh ears. Possibly because these musicians and this album laid the blueprint for others that did it afterward. Favorite Track: Almost Cut My Hair

Critical Album!

Mostly very chill songs, but to be completely honest, I generally didn’t enjoy the sound of the singing voices together. The only sound I can say I truly enjoyed is the last, Everybody I Love You.

Helt okej, lite för gammalmodig

Our House e guete Klassiker. Bim Rest chli unsicher wasi devo halte söll. Paar zu Country, Paar no e solidi büez. S album het mi aber doch chli zwenig interessiert und git dasmal en halbe punkt für de Crosby, en halbe für de Stills, en halbe für de Nash und en halbe für de Young

Ayooo was ein schönes album. Hät sehr vill potential für sit längerem wieder mal e 5er z geh, aber s hed 2-3 schoechti tracks drufe. Darum quattro stazione Für de neil young <3 und sini boyz

This albums chemistry was fantastic, songs were good and overall a really solid piece of work.

Good, but I’m just not a Neil Young guy (can’t stand Helpless). Highlights for me are Carry On, Woodstock, and Our House. Also liked 4 + 20 and Teach Your Children

Another album that deserves a spot in the 1001 project, yet I'm giving it 3 stars. I like it, but it's a little too polished for me. Outside of the Eagles, few bands have stacked this many distinct lead voices in rock. While CSNY had the chops to pull it off, it sort of works a little too well: it's too pretty and polished. Good, and worth listening to, but 3 stars.

Previously known. The two Young songs alone are worth the rating.

Heard Before? Certainly feels like it. Notes: - more variety than I expected, despite having heard all these songs before. - multiple vocalists are always the key to my heart. - rough-edged production suits the material. arrangements are unremarkable but make sense. - in general I find this easy to admire but hard to love. it's truly great but I just don't care. - the organ on "Country Girl" grabbed me. Verdict: Hippy dippy baloney with cheese. Listen Again? Like so many in this list, I don't really need to, despite the obvious quality.

Young doing a lot of the heavy lifting here.

Se escucha genial, como blues rock viejito.

4 + 20 = 420 brah.

Expected this one to be pretty good. It wasnt.

AND YOUNG.

I really loved almost cut my hair (it was so relatable) helpless and 4+20 on the first listen.

I already loved Our House so no surprise I liked a few other songs as well. Definitely a vinyl I would like to own but only 1 less star because it's not music I would listen to all the time.

Very 70’s. Not a big fan. But did not skip any songs….

Probably felt euphoric and revelatory if you were 13-23, quite high, and the world was in shambles.

So far my favorite CNSY album. This was a great listen, and features some great rock tracks. They still retain that classic CSNY sound though.

I’m pretty stoned writing this review, as I imagine CSNY were in recording the album. But as I can only type out a semi-literate assessment - an assessment that has taken me four hours to write as I am repeatedly distracted by my dog, Royal Match on my phone and some really tasty dill pickle corn puffs - I must tip my cap to the Crosby brothers for creating a classic folk-rock record under the influence of considerably more powerful drugs.

A classic

Better and better every time you listen to it. The less well known songs are just as good as the ones everyone knows.

This had some unexpected moments for me that I really enjoyed. I can see how it would be considered important / groundbreaking / controversial...but now it's just kind of ...classic folk.

What a record. I have to got back and make sure this wasn’t a retrospective, or “hits” collection. So many classics.

2.5/5 It was ok. Nothing amazing. Very simple classic rock.

Not for me really. But I guess I like that it's pretty charming

Evergreen album. They were on the good stuff and really hitting the mark for 1970.

Some good tracks on this one. Total classics.

I was never the biggest CSN (and/or Y) fan, but parts of this album are pretty fantastic. "Helpless" reminds me a lot of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door."

Luckily it had Helpless

Olddid but goodie

Solid.

fine

This album is probably on here for a very specific song or two. I prefer solo Neil Young.

Didn't realize how many recognizable songs are on this album. Like 5 of the first 7 tracks are really great songs that I have heard before, but never realized they were Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. 'Teach Your Children' and 'Our House' are super catchy and nostalgic.

Agradable. Buen sonido.

nao foi do meu agrado

A good doble intro with "Carry On / Questions", I like when musicians merge two different songs (eg. McCartney in "Ram"). The rest is a bit too hippie folk rock for me. Maybe I'll listen to it again in the future. 2.75/ 5

Carry on - Legal, mas não escutaria normalmente. Um rock meio beatles. Teach your Children - Muito lenta, meio countr. Não é minha vibe No geral, não gostei

nice pleasant music

Sunday Morning listening

Honestly, so far this is, as I expected a bit better indeed than the CSN album I got on this list before, might even go for 4 stars this one. After a few re-listens it's quite clear that the addition of Mr. Neil Young definitely elevates this project to another level. I should REVISIT this one again in the future.

Post beatles seems like the most appropriate word I'd use to describe this album. Personally I prefer the real deal.

This was surprising given the last album I heard by these guys. A good mix of sounds and their vocals were much more enjoyable on this one.

I really wanted to hate this for kind of no reason but I won't lie even though I want to, I liked it, quite a lot actually. I was also shocked when Our House came on because I know and listen to that song and for some reason hadn't clocked it was theeeeese people. Anyway, point is there were a load of good songs here and I enjoyed listening to them.

Recognised a few of these songs and enjoyed the whole listening experience. Not better than their first album (Neil Young I'm looking at you) but overall good

Didn't know what to expect going into this. Surprisingly enjoyable. Lots of different styles, some familiar songs, but overall a great, solid album.

Big folk guy

Fine, good vibe.

Two tracks are a little too country for my taste (though still good) and keep this from being a perfect 5/5. These guys are perfect together and Ypung brings his own different, but same energy and the product is completely victorious. Superbly sung, superbly played and written with so much passion. 4.5/5

Álbum de los '70. Mezcla estilos country, rock y balada. Con el clásico "Helpless" en su repertorio. En mi escala, un 9 🫶🏼

If there is a quintessential CSNY album, this is it. Steeped with hits and harmonies. So much packed in this one, it’s impossible for me to deny full stars. I’ve always loved this album.

I liked this one better than the debut surprisingly. Dang, such good harmonies. Reading the backstory I was surprised that almost the entire album was recorded in solo sessions with each individual principal songwriter rather than as a group. Four part harmonies lead to four part egos I guess. And I might duck while saying this, but some of the Neil Young songs stood out more to me. Overall, there’s quite a few hits on it that I had forgotten about but immediately remember hearing as a kid once the needle dropped.

Were these guys managed by Greg Popovich? Because they can sure share the ball. This is a super strong album with a couple all timers. Great listen

It’s fine. A little sleepy for my tastes and outside of Helpless it didn’t really move me. I’d also appreciate a lil more creativity with the band name.

Some of the harmonizing was a bit much, but that's what you get with these guys. Enough to enjoy on this album for me to round up. 3.5/5

Fav Songs: Our House, Almost Cut My Hair, Woodstock, Teach Your Children Least Fav: Deja Vu 8.0/10

its nice

Some classics here!

Another instant 70s soundtrack .Gave it one more star because of 'Our House' which I have always loved . Prefer the Simon and Garfunkel type ones . Mostly forgettable .

Another one of the supposed 'big guns' that ended up being a bit underwhelming.

I don’t really care about this band

Beautiful songwriting throughout

This album was more interesting that I thought it was going to be. Neil Young's voice did not grate on my nerves. The writing and production of this album was solid.

I think it was a well done album but not my preference

This is one of those albums that earns its place on the list because it captures a phenomenon - a supergroup quartet of singing guitarists belting out 70s folk harmonies in a way that is just so pure and satisfying. This is peak folk/blues/country rock, and these are six musicians at the top of their game. (don't think I didn't notice Dallas Taylor's and Greg Reeves' contributions on the drums and bass, they're perfect.) I'm learning that I'm not typically the biggest fan of 70s folk rock, and I sure did give Neil Young's "Ragged Glory" a 2, but this one is a strong 5 for me.

Really enjoyed this one!

well i listened to it at night and i needed songs that were not so loud, so maybe thats why i gave some songs higher score that i normally would do. to be honest, it is not a bad album, im just not into rock n roll thats why i couldnt really enjoy it to the fullest. carry on - it gets good in the middle of the song. great harmonization. you cant listen to this with your headphones on tho lol. dont know if i would add it to my playlist - 3/5 teach your children - pretty song. not my style. wouldnt add it to my playlist - 2/5 almost cut my hair - good song. dont like the melody. wouldnt add it to my playlist. - 4/5 helpless - nothing to say. beatiful song. would add it to my playlist - 4/5 woodstock - loved it. i can tell its from the 70. would add it to my playlist - 4,5/5 deja vu - sounds like a fairy tale as they walk through the forest in search of something. liked it. dont know if i would add it to my playlist - ?/5 our house - such a cute song. would add it to my playlist - 4/5 4 + 20 - found it boring - 1,5/5 country girl - wow okay not bad. good one but dont know if i would add it to my playlist. everybody i love you - good one. you cant listen to this one with your headphones on either. wouldnt add it to my playlist tho. - 4/5

Perfecto para ir por la carretera o para días nostálgicos.

Arguably, the best album of the band. We got pet sounds, some of the kinks and yardbirds in the same album. Precious!

es como si queen, seru giran y fleetwood mac tuviesen un hijo, me fascina como primera recomendación me siento percibidad de pies a cabeza, le doy un 7

* i would go back to the album, so sorry if my current review is not good. feel free to criticize. iam not that good at eng, so i would prop annoy you at some point. -Those uncles look at us in the cover, i initially expected some heavy-topics songs, like darkness or war, whatever, after a listen or two, those uncles looks just relaxing to me. + Carry On: I...may be i don't catch the right feeling for it; but the harmony is so good and that tiny guitar sound is vibey. "Carry on, love is coming, love is coming to us all" is so great. + Teach Your Children: it's so satisfying to listen to, um, simple lyrics, the song's idea is interesting, i just love it. + Almost Cut My Hair: those guitar sound is so cool, like 'hit it!" I;D + Helpless: this song is so lovely, it brings me calmness, i want to sing this song so bad. + Woodstock: it would not impress me with those riff that much, i feel like the song is a bit long, idk, i feel sorry. may be i would love to listen to it some other day + Déjà Vu: it's something about deja vu, i cannt get the idea behind it but the song's just strange. + Our House: as you expected, i love this song, it leads me imagine about a little cute house + 4+20: um... it is alright + Country Girl: it's good + Everybody I Love You: a great closing track => um... i think the whole experience is worth it

Sounds like the type of music that would play on the radio in a movie where a character's driving in the middle of nowhere

As expected. Reliable and calm, a little homesick too

Great album! tbh not a ton to say but a classic....going to rate 4 but prob a lower 4??? again the 5 star system is so evil to me and how my brain works

yeah fire lowkey…. been recently taking trips on the oasis bus, like i get it (they’re no beatles, but they got some bangers) i think this album has my faves of their music i know she’s electric bangs (kinda a zolas shade so that’s always some extra points for me) don’t look back in anger a classic cast no shadow and some might say we’re newer to me but caught my ear

I Liked "Almost Cut My Hair" and "Helpless", but other than this I wasnt really all that engaged by this one.

A classic and a clinic of powerful vocal harmonies and good songwriting. Carry On is a banger and the clear highlight on the album. Helpless is another classic (though I sometimes forget it’s not a Neil solo song). It’s not as consistent to me as CSN’s debut, but it’s an excellent album overall that’s deserving of its classic status.

This was a solid album, I enjoy this aesthetic of music so I enjoyed listening to it, however I wouldn’t rlly listen to it again except for a few songs. The last half of the album is def stronger than the first one. Fav song: Woodstock

I was expecting to not care for this and joke about that it’s hippie music. It’s actually pretty good and done of the songs were very vulnerable and powerful. I see why it’s so beloved.

3.5 - Good

Fine album.

Some classics on this one!

4 stars

If you had told me a year ago that I'd grow to become quite fond of Neil Youngs voice I would have called you crazy but due to "After the Goldrush" and now "Deja Vu" I think my opinion is turned. David, Stephen, and Graham are no slouchs either for the record, in fact my favorite track is far and away "Almost Cut My Hair" the emotional punch Crosby gives those lyrics is top-notch

My god i’ve been putting off this album for ages, this is PEAK. As a fan of CSN i thought i’d like it. Man fuck unknown pleasures for breaking the 5 star streak, cause it wouldve been 3 in a row.

Nice! I've listened to Neil Young a bit but never too CSNY. I like the politics and the harmonies and the country flavour.

The first song is great. The rest I guess is in background music.

A solid album, containing good music.

An absolute classic, no denying this one.

proof men need to go back to harmonizing instead of whatever tf it is they're doing (country girl is a banger)

Einfach gut

3.5

Deserves a place in the top 1,000.

I love this album so much it is already in my collection. The harmonies and songwriting is A++ if only they could have gotten along a little better.

Almost Cut My Hair is an incredible track, wow. The album is versatile and still somehow very cohesive, which is impressive with 4 different songwriters and vocalists. 8/10

Top 3: 1. Almost Cut My Hair 2. Country Girl 3. Deja Vu Least Favourite: Our House

Not their best album, but still good.

Lige som et album af dem her skal lyde. Stor 4

God måde at snige lidt ekstra Neil Young med på listen! /genuine

Solid

First listen

It was good, and I didint know they wrote “our house”

This band sits at a cross section of genres which looks like it would be right in my wheelhouse, but the album itself sits around a 3 for me - a few songs I actively like, a few (Teach Your Children, Our House) that I'm not really that keen on - over exposure through Building Society ads, and the handful of others are just... meh. A bit repetative. I probably wouldn't choose to put this on again, hence the 3. Highlights for me are the opening track: 1: Carry On, 3: Almost Cut My Hair and 6: Deja Vu - the compositional structure of which had a go at describing the feeling of Deja Vu musically. Total number of tracks: 10 Fave Track: 3: Almost Cut My Hair 13/02/26

Welllllllll what can you say, some iconic songs on this album which from start to finish is just very nice and great. There’s really not much else to say, it’s just really fucking good like. 5.0/5.0 Best Song: almost cut my hair

Kind of forgot how many massive bangers there are on this album. I think finally as a world, we are realising that Neil Young is the greatest to ever do it. All music is Neil Young, he's the best, the other 3 are alright as well. I think CSNY have even better harmonies than the Eagles. Our House is such a beautiful tune, but the best song is, OBVIOUSLY, almost cut my hair.

How can I say an album is perfect without saying so? Well, I guess I won't try this time. I am impressed by how good it is, it actually is an album made by musicians with such great taste. They, combined, have made a masterpiece of an album. I am amazed by it. This is the kind of music that transmits a lot to me. And all the songs are great!

Classic album

Easy listening No ear grinders Triple hitter

Such a mixed bag. You have some genuinely good songs on this, but they're instantly ruined by the several bad songs. Like, where's the consistency???

Awesome. Love these guys, minus Neil Young. His whiny voice is terrible. 02-13-2026

A perfect album.

bon! 3.5/5

Yeah it was alright!

Know this one well.

It had two really good songs, but outside of those, it would be a solid 3.

YESSSSSSSS

Clearly a classic. Tons of songs that I recognize and were played on the kinds of radio stations that called themselves "soft rock" which is a lot of what my mom listened to in my formative years. That being said, I don't really like it beyond the hits I recognized. I'm probably too disillusioned with the 60s/70s hippie style to really enjoy this.

This is not bad, a quite enjoyable album for sure, but also not the best album of all time. I am also kind of getting tired of the amount of Neil Young I have gotten over the past weeks. Surely there's more on this list than just Neil Young?

I have heard a lot this one before, but obviously much easier to compare the individual contributions when played in one go. Pretty inconsistent album. Young and Stills seem the best. 3.5 rounded down Heard before? Yes most Owned: No 48/201 (23%) Will I get: Probably

Folk rock con toques country de la mano de cuatro de los absolutos maestros del género. Tener en un mismo álbum a David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Neil Young y Graham Nash es para escuchar este disco, amarlo, y salir corriendo a escuchar el resto de lo que hayan grabado tanto juntos como por su cuenta.

альбом хорош, но не сошелся с моими вкусами

ok, nothing special. Beatles vibes after the Beatles

Doet me goed, lekker roadtrippen, harmonieus lijkend op the eagles.

Not bad!

Meh

Great

Gotta give some respect to this outing by these legends.

A good album to listen to, lovely vibes, good lyricism,

Again, I’m not American enough for this shit. I fucking hate their folk and folk rock and country and whatever other genre this album has. It’s soooooo boring. It's not the worst thing ever, better than Neil Young solo albums. But it's just eh. It's alright.

Carry on and teach your children ☆☆☆☆

Great album Song I like: Carry on, Woodstock, Almost cut my hair, Our House,

One of my mums favourite artists

I can appreciate this is a good and well designed album with some meaningful tones but I just don’t love any of it; it’s palatable but not sensational.

Definitely not a fan of the artists, but this album was better than expected. It was quite a nice listen and I somehow wasn't bored listening through this album, which happened with most other albums by any of these artists. Some nice variation going on. 4/5

I listened to my well worn vinyl copy this morning, and have heard this one many times…Teach Your Children is my favorite track by both these four and the trio. Overall, it’s a very solid album. Before I listened to it today, I was thinking it would come in at four stars, but I think it deserves a five. Not a single dog on the whole record, in my opinion. Love their harmonies.

The harmonies can get a little grating, but there enough great songs on here to make it a 4.

It’s no highwaymen. But the first listen I enjoyed some aspects but wasn’t fully sold, second listen it all made sense and I enjoyed a lot of it. Neil young is the stand out for me, again I like him so probably bias. The gritty, more rocky hinted songs draw me in the most, I think that’s what they should aim more for. a lot of it is abit dreary, slow and whiney. Harmonies are something else mind, and the musical talent is all on show. Hate to compare some of the stuff to the beetles, because I hate the beetles but, there is some influence. (Hate the beetles, how can you, I just don’t get the hype I think there were so may artists around in that era doing better things, and paul McCartney is a dinger) But overall, it’s ok, struggling to get past middle of the road. )

Some powerful songs on this album , Carry on had some really strong vocal harmonies , they seem to really hit it off with these vocals very cleverly worked when it transitions into the congas and then the new feel it really gives you 60s vibes the organ grooving a psychedelic melody , love the message of the song to carry on through tough times Almost cut my hair has to be a bit of a homage to while my guitar gently weeps very similar maybe not intentional But another strong message of resilience from the writer David Crosby against socialist movements in the 60s liked the vocals on it Woodstock I enjoyed also read up it was a cover which was done by Joni Mitchell who Graham Nash dated , again some fantastic backing vocals Graham Nash got a great tone as all the other members Helpless was a highlight on this album for me Neil youngs tender vocals about him growing up in Ontario are beautiful and paint a great picture of the surroundings Our house, again great vocals felt quite emotional listening to it funny what music can do to you Thoroughly enjoyed this album and didn’t expect to fully engage with it not something I’d normally gravitate towards

First two tracks like a warm blanket of great folk music, perfect harmonies with acoustic guitars, then it kicks you in the face with Almost Cut My Hair (love that song title and its lyrics heh). Listened to this album about 3 times already, glad it was selected as the weekend one - I'm really diving into their music and solo music, It's opened up an entire world to me. Solid 4 for me here, I think with time it might even grow to a 5 but not yet for me at least.

One of the best ever. So much talent they could not be in the same room with each other. Top tier music.

You've got Crosby, Stills and Nash, who are great at harmonies, but perhaps a little bit too shiny and precise. And then you've got Neil Young, who is on an entirely different level. Put them together, and you get an album which has a few standout tracks (mainly the ones Young plays on), and the rest is okay. This was the first collaboration between the four of them, and personally I don't think it shows the best they have, so only three and half stars from me.

Elevated from Neil Young’s presence and the rest stepped up and delivered a solid album. They are better when Neil is involved.

Bangers and Nash Fave tracks: Our House, Almost Cut My Hair, Deja vu

Decent Fave track: Our house

Very palatable country rock. 4/5

Great guitars, good singing, Our House is a bop.

что это вообще

A good album for sure. Some great harmonies.

So good there’s nothing else like it.

cover notes: reminds me of family albums. big fan of the dog they've got there. album notes: .....I'm still thinking about family albums

Solid old school fun

the harlem globetrotters of music

Would have been better without letting Neil Young solo.

Hot summer afternoon barbecue.

The main thing that really stood out was Neil Young. Whenever he shows up, it suddenly feels a bit rougher and more interesting. “Helpless” in particular grabbed me way more than some of the smoother, cleaner tracks. Nothing against the rest of them — the harmonies are lovely — but Young just brings a different energy that makes you sit up a bit. Overall, it’s an easy album to like. Even when a track isn’t amazing, it’s still pleasant. But Neil Young is definitely the bit I’ll remember most.

Enjoyed this. I knew a couple of the tracks. Would definitely listen to more.

I enjoyed my stay, this album will most likely be a 5/5 to me in the future

Богатый инструментал Аутентичный Где-то кантри, где-то битлз, где-то бостон Точно переслушаю, задает хорошее настроение

The harmonies :').

Iconic music and legendary musicians, what do you expect

adding Young to this trio did not improve the music, Crosby, Stills & Gash

Nearly wall to wall bangers. I don't love Country Girl but everything else on this is amazing.

7/10

Listened to this bad boy on a snowy Saturday morning at Heine Bros. while completing Chapter 6 for Stats class. Must say, it most certainly met the vibe I was going for while being tested on my knowledge of distribution functions and probabilities. Our House is my favorite on this work, which isn't surprising since it is the only one I knew beforehand!

I kind of like this soft-rock / folk sound from the 70's. It does not overstimulate me. Additionally, very nice harmonies, and I love the country vibe. VERY NICE GUITAR CHORDS ON "Almost Cut My Hair"!!! Woodstock is my favorite song from this album for now. Not gonna lie, this album has some interesting elements, but the slow vibe is making me fall asleep, but I think it's just my Dopamine addiction :))))) Like the closing track "Everybody I Love You". I am gonna give this album a 7.5/10 - very interesting sound, but not sure if I am gonna return to listen again.

Slow folk rock. There are some nice guitar riffs and I liked a few of the songs like Woodstock and Country Girl, but it was mostly a bit too slow for me.

In a lot of ways I feel like this album is the antithesis of The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monae (lack of genre parallels aside, hear me out). This album is ALL execution, and lacks any major ambition to branch out and bring new trappings to the genre it exists in. While it's musically very well done, I personally feel that CSNY's signature vocal harmonies are even done better by other acts of the era and feel deeply indebted to a handful of late 60's acts doing pretty much the same thing. I actually feel that a lot of the highlights of the album are things that stray from this signature style, like the emotive blues rock of "Almost Cut My Hair" and more rooted acoustic songwriting of " 4 + 20". The sole exception to this is "Our House" which is almost all vocal harmony and harpsichord laced Beach Boys-esque pop, but I found to be a heartwarming and sweet track that reached me in a way a lot of the others didn't. Favorite Tracks: "Almost Cut My Hair", "Our House", "4 + 20" Least Favorite Track: "Teach Your Children"

Not the biggest folk fan, I liked this more than expected. It's probably the more "rock" adjacent nature of the project, with tracks like Woodstock having a bit more bite to them, that worked for me. But it just feels a bit like a more folksy Beatles, which I can understand being popular at the time, but does absolutely nothing for me personally. The harmonies are nice, but are utterly unremarkable for me. And, outside of some spicier exceptions (such as the titular Deja Vu), the production just feels so slow and one note. I don't know. People seem to rave about Niel Young for his unique singing style and intimately personal lyrics. Yet this album feels like a supergroup just cashing in on replicating a trendy sound without really doing anything to it.

Solid but kinda overrated? The highs are high... "Helpless" is beautiful, "Our House" is a great song, and those harmonies never disappoint. But it feels more like four solo artists sharing a cover than a real band album. "Almost Cut My Hair" goes on forever, and some tracks just drift without landing. Good vibes, great talent, but not quite the masterpiece its reputation suggests.

A very very very fine album

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this as much as I did but this was a really nice listen

CSNY can go right in my veins. Awesome record.

I was recommended this a few years back and on first listen l enjoyed but instead of it growing on me it started to grate. So when it popped up today I was not looking forward to sitting through it again, however I really enjoyed it. The songs alone are all on point but now I think I know what started to turn me off. It’s them god awful harmonies, sounds like one of them weird church groups. Oh and Neil Young is a self indulgent prick

"Our House", the only song of theirs I ever truly liked is on this album DEJA VU. The rest of this album is insufferable hippie shit that my ears cannot abide.

Such a classic band! Always loved their vibe and this album is no different.

loved every song

Good classic songs on here. Great listening. I would own this album.

7.5/10 - I really enjoyed the album. Most people don't like the harmonies but I do. Country girl is an epic song for me.

It's actually kind of amazing an album like this was ever made. Four alpha dogs each simultaneously ascending to the top of their powers come together to form a band - well, maybe not a band exactly, but at partnership where each had to at least marginally make some compromises. Few bands had this much simultaneous songwriting talent - and that includes the Beatles. The fact that this record works as well as it does and delivers on the potential is what is so surprising. You can certainly hear the differences is songwriting vision between the different songwriters. Neil Young channels his countrified Harvest-era styles, Nash is warm pop, Stills wants to rock, and Crosby is in full-throated hippie melancholia. But it all works together. A magical, damn near perfect album.

Amazing. Has to be one of the best studio albums by a group ever

No private session used for Spotify. Although I will never put this on my regular rotation I can't deny that it is full of classics put together by a team very talented musicians and song writers.

Neil Young fits right in, otherwise it's fairly typical 70s folk-rock, not much else to add.

Boring

Some amazing guitar work and harmonization, everything else is sorta mid.

I like this album more than I thought I would, but I don't love the album.

Favourite Songs: Carry On Almost Cut My Hair Country Girl

I'm not used to Neil Young's singing yet, but it sounded good here. Considering the difficulty in making it I think there must be a high level of professionalism from the stars as it all sounds solid. A high 3 low 4 for me.

I liked this a lot. Surprised I hadn’t heard it before. An excellent folk rock album. Solid 4/5

One of the best folk rock albums of all time.

It's a pretty flawless record which peaks at the perfect 1-2 of Deja Vu and Our House. It's an obvious thing to say, but the combined skills of the album’s different writers opens up a range of possibilities and styles. It's not a consistent product but it's all the better for it. I particularly like Neil Young’s vocals, he strikes me as their most valuable player. The flaw in the Persian rug for me would probably be Almost Cut My Hair which took me a few listens to get beyond the lyrics. Every other song though is a warm hug of perfectly executed folk rock.

This is a great record, I know more of it than I expected already which adds to the sense of Déjà vu, the title track is amazing and I wanted it to be 3 times as long (possibly like life depending on the day) and the songwriting chops of all 3 come through to combine into something pretty iconic throughout the whole album, some kind of 5

Height of sophistication for late 60s hippies. I now understand why Neil Young won't have anything to do wit the other three. It's not that he hates them, just that he doesn't want to inflict this dreadful noise of the world again.

• Chill music, proper guitar rock country, cool doggie on cover, • almost cut my hair (track 3) groovy guitar •love the picking style on 4/20

Liked it

Umm nah

Levy meni parin kappaleen jälkeen saman tien tallennettuihin. Toimii kuin tuplaespresso aamulla!

Nyt oli kivaa kamaa. Tosi svengaavaa menoo, siistejä riffejä. Almost cut my hair sai mut melkein orgastisen olotilan partaalle.

Oikein mielyttävää kuunntelavaa alusta loppuun, muutamat biisit menee soittolistalle samantien. Neil Youngia jaksaa aina kuunnella. 4/5

Hämmentävä sekotus prog rockia ja folk rockia, ihan niinku olis ollu neljän eri ukon kirjottamia veisuja (hehe). Paikoitellen bängereitä, paikoitellen lame-o renkutusta. Nostona herkullinen ison kuulonen 9. raita, hell yeh. Kyllä tän uudestaankin kuuntelis, ei ehkä vakiokiertoon

Huge fan of Neil Young but hadn't listened to this before. Helpless is a cool song, but not taken by anything else really.

Very good.

Every song a classic

Really really good and chill

definitely not something i would normally listen to & will probably never listen to again but i liked the experience

All Time Excellent Music by Legendary Musicians

Want to listen again

The instruments sounds mysterious, fit for a running away scene on a show LOL. The harmonization is also good, it really adds to its whimsy in a way. Liked songs: Carry On Almost Cut My Hair Woodstock Jan. 23, 2026 - 7:18PM

This list is schizo

Loved this

103/1001 First listen. I don’t know what these hippies are on about. I suspect this is appreciated more for the lyrics. The music doesn’t do much for me. Lovely harmonizing though. The addition of Young doesn’t up my rating from the C,S&N album a month ago. 4/10

Huh, turns out I’m a CSN&Y guy.

Great!
