Deja Vu

Peak album peak group

Day 22 First listen- The album was a decent journey . I enjoyed their cover of woodstock and few other songs! (3.5/5)

The songs were very calming to listen to

Great songs, tight harmonies, great album.

What an easy-listening album; enjoyed this immensely.

Distinctly and durably great from end to end, this album checks many, many boxes and fully delivers on its promise. "Carry On" is an all-time opener and "Country Girl" and "Everybody I Love You" offer a fully satisfying close – a measured crescendo that blends and amplifies all that comes before. In between are a few classics (the hymn-like "Helpless," the utterly catchy "Teach Your Children Well," and the vaguely Beatlesesque sweetness of "Our House") plus several other notable cuts (including the sublime title track and the uneasily contemplative "4+20"). Only "Almost Cut My Hair" veers toward hippie cliche. The only other quibble would be that these songs might've been even more expansive, coulda gone on longer to good effect. These were unique talents whose collaborations here were well worth all the tension and strife of the recording, one believes, achieving a depth of soul through the gorgeous harmonies, the light jammabilty and the countrified flourishes and veneers.

The self-indulgent tones of the boomer generation. Don't get me wrong, musically it is pleasing enough to the ears. The melodies are light and the harmonies are good. Obviously the trio can sing, and Neil Young is trying his best. But let's be honest, this music came from a place of self-importance and selfish ness. The boomers grew up, and suddenly war and censorship was okay....just remember there were roughly 76 million boomers, but only 400,000 of them were actually at Woodstock, despite what they all say...

What a great album! Not a bad track in the mix. Feels like a warm hug for my brain. Lots of "known" songs, and a few newer to me ones that I also love. Enjoyed Almost Cut My Hair and Deja Vu especially.

I enjoyed this. Teach your children is great. Very easy listening.

Pretty good!

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

Masterpiece!

Of its time but still timeless. Love the harmonies. Favorites: Carry On, Teach Your Children Would I listen to it again: Yes

Great album. Very nice vibes, love the guitar and vocals. Sounds like drinking craft beers at Paddy’s house

Very good

HELL YEAH DUDE! I listened to this a few days ago for the first time so I was happy to go ahead and give it a relisten so soon. This is so close to a 5 for me and not being able to give it a 4.5 feels very weird but, this album was truly amazing and set the tone for the genre as a whole when it was made.

++: Carry On, Almost Cut My Hair, Helpless, Woodstock, Déjà Vu, 4 + 20, Country Girl, Everybody I Love You +: Teach Your Children +-: Our House 8,8/10

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

I have always been an oldies fan and these songs bring back the old memories of my youth!! Thank you for this application!!

good vibes

Joni Mitchell's Woodstock is superior

Definitely some enjoyable hits. But as a cohesive album, it's just pretty alright.

Didn’t realize there were so many radio hits on this one album. Like this as a whole more than the individual songs.

Sin más.

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

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

I thought I would hate this, but it was okay!

Generally I liked it. Their harmonies are great and the sound is quite timeless (though a little too close to country for me). I was surprised to find I already knew several of the songs. 𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘬 sounded depressingly optimistic considering the current times. :P

Some good songs - okay

Soft and amazing record. Lyrics and sounds are all great. I'll keep it jn rotation.

good album

Pretty good, maybe not as good as their debut

I found this album to be mostly fine, but not particularly good. Some tracks were strong, and none were all that bad. The majority were just OK, though. It also didn't really feel like a cohesive album so much as just a compilation of songs. Almost all of the songs were written by a member individually rather than together as a group, so there was a variety of style throughout its runtime. I preferred Crosby's style to those of the others, and once again just could not enjoy Young's voice. Woodstock, not written by either member but by Joni Mitchell, was one of the better tracks on the album. I also liked the last track, Everybody I Love You, which had writing contribution from CS&N. I don't want to drag this too much because I really didn't find it bad. I just wasn't all that impressed by it, and it wasn't all that interesting to me for whatever reason. It was solid, but not really better than that. Overall: 2.8/5

plasnt :-) highlights: carry on, woodstock, our house, everybody i love you (aug 19 2024)

I generally enjoyed this. Neil Young is the most familiar member of the quartet to me, but the CSNY sound is bigger here than Young's solo work, sitting somewhere between the two 70s sounds I grew up on: singer-songwriter and full-on rock. This album will grow on me. For now, it's a 3. I plan to come back and work my way deeper into it.

I thought this was fine. Some standouts and the overall sound I liked. But there was too much of it? Maybe I’m just behind and wanted to catch up on albums but I was waiting for this to be over a bit

Surprised I didn't like this more. Only really recognized Our House. 4+20 was a standout for me. Country Girl had a high pitch noise in much of it that's horrible.

Classic.

SO GOOD

Great vocals and harmonies, creative songwriting throughout

Some strong tunes on this record, still feel like skipping the most bonfire kumbaya ones unfortunately.

The millionaires hippies are at it again.

It’s fine

nebaigiau klausyt, bet vien tik uz old man uzdkaitau

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

favorites: teach your children, our house Classic

Pleasant listen. Blissfully short.

Song were generally good and I liked what was going on for the most part. Have to deduct a star for the Neil Young-featured vocals songs though.

Carry On and Almost Cut My Hair are boppers. Lots of slow and sleepy songs as well that seem to drag. Love the harmonies. Mixed bag altogether. Very close to a 5 star album but just didn't have enough consistency.

Good! A folk rock album I really do love! I’ll come back to this record!

Awesome

I’m a little embarrassed to like this band. But man I’m a sucker for harmonies. Especially if you add some milky rubber band bass underneath. I saw them live with my mom before she lost her mind. “Love is coming to us all.” Maybe. Hippie shit but the real hippie shit.

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

It’s a classic. Cloying, but a classic.

Lays a foundation for southern rock and alt country. But a lot of it is schlocky and lame. A couple of bangers though

6/10 There are bits of this album that I really like. Our House is a massive highlight for me. I’m a big fan of an understated little piece of ‘everyday life’ music. Stylistically, it’s a million miles away, but it makes me think a little of Starfish And Coffee by Prince. Anyway. When they got a bit more bluesy-rock, I enjoyed that too, but I’m not a massive fan of the overuse of the type of block ‘wall of sound’ vocal harmonies that they use. They work in when used sparingly, but to my mind, the mixing of them dominates without providing a satisfying amount of space for the lead vocal to shine. With that in mind, the tracks I’d likely return to would probably be those with a more clear lead vocal, and with a bit of rock ’n roll grit to the track, like Almost Cut My Hair. In all honesty, while I did enjoy this, I feel like there’s music out there that I’d go to first that focus more on the elements I did enjoy. Glad to have heard it though. Probably a 5, but Our House just tickles my sentimental fancy, so it pops up by one. Carry On - This is a good start to the album. The opening guitar line bursts with enthusiasm and the harmonies throw a great vibe over it. Could do with a bit more movement in the harmonies, but they’re still good. It then moves into decent groove half way through. Nice little guitar licks that pop up here and there through the track, and that wah tone is great. Teach Your Children - This one’s a bit more saccharine. It’s nice enough, but it doesn’t really have the grit or drive that I liked from the first track. Definitely more meandering too, though it does have a nice toe-tapping rhythm from the guitar. Almost Cut My Hair - The vibe to this one is more back to what we had from Carry On. Kind of sits somewhere between Hendrix and The Eagles in terms of feel to me. I think the more driven guitar really works here and there’s plenty of space for them to have a bit more fun with their playing. Nice to hear a bit of variety from the vocal too and less emphasis on the harmonisations. That might have got tiring if it stayed for every track. Helpless - It feels like a theme is developing here. Back to a more of a softer ballad-esque track now. Again, it’s nice. The vocal has a vulnerable edge to it that I like, but I just wasn’t really that grabbed by this one. Woodstock - The theme continues. Back to something with a bit more of a rock ’n roll edge and a bit of drive. The interplay between the organ and the guitar is really nice. The backing vocals are more subtle through the verses, which gives the lead space to breathe, although they definitely kick in on the chorus. There’s a nice ‘I’m having fun over here’ guitar solo too. Deja Vu - I thought they were going to change the formula. Nice driven start for a minute and then bam. Slow song again. I do like the groove of this one and the dynamics build nicely too. Some interesting little nuggets from the different instruments too as the track progresses. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are elements of this that I do really like. Our House - I love this tune. Written by Graham Nash on Joni Mitchell’s piano about the everyday happiness of their relationship. I like the innocence of it and the celebration of the satisfying mundanity of an established relationship. The vocal harmonies actually have more movement and less of a ‘wall of sound’ approach than on most of the rest of the album, which is way better. Sometimes simplicity is beauty. 4 + 20 - Nice enough piece of melancholy. Doesn’t really go anywhere, but it’s short enough. That ending is pretty good though. Country Girl - I think the album is getting a bit tired by this point. This has some nice enough moments, but it doesn’t really shine and we’re definitely on the wind down at this point. It feels like they’re trying to go with something epic, but it just seems busy and loud rather than big and grand to me. Everybody I love You - Lets finish off with some fun. Back to the more wall-of-sound harmonies. This lets loose a bit more and they get to have a bit of guitar fun, but it’s not the most interesting.

This is just a really enjoyable album. I let it play on repeat probably 5 times.

A real surprise. Very influential

Banger. Love the cover, know it front to back

A collection of CSNY's middest hits

not bad - classic stuff

Easy listening, approachable classic rock.

🙂‍↔️

One of the greatest folk rock albums ever recorded. Four geniuses making timeless songs that still hold up more than 5 decades later.

They got together made a folk rock classic....what can I say its peak. Road trip or laying out on a grass field core.

There are some standout songs here, but there are also some really lame ones. With 4 different members and each song sounding like a different genre, it's not really a very coherent or consistent album. Mid 3.

Biased because this is one of my and my mom's favorites but ahhh so good

Folk rock classic. This one time the stars really aligned for this quartet. Nothing much to say about this that haven't already been said many times. Solid stuff.

I respect singing in harmonies. Otherwise rather dull album

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

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

Such a classic

First song slaps. I like the genre change halfway through. Cut my hair was my least favorite cause it was talk singy. Gave me cake vibes. 🤢 Woodstock had a sick guitar solo at the beginning. I like the “rap” in Deja vu. Our house was so cute. My favorite. Reminds me of one of my favorite Fun. songs: The Gambler. I wonder if it is a reference cause there’s a lyric that sounds very similar. 4+20 resonates with me. The beginning of country girl sounded like gambler singing with the piano chord thingy.

Carry on is so cool. The harmony is great and satisfying. The repetitive swingy rhythm on the guitar drives everything forward. Oh the groovey solo section in the middl. Teach your children is way too country for me, and pretty boring overall. Almost cut my hair is straight up a meme and a really good song. The delayed guitar and snare hits are really fun with the blues feel. Chorus is great too. Helpless is rather boring too unfortunately. Well performed but just not for me. I like Woodstock as well. It seems I really like the harmony heavy quicker songs. Guitar solo at the end smacked. Deja vu sounds like the Shankar album I listened to yesterday! This unison singing is really nice. Our song is very beatlesey. I love how different each song on this album has sounded. Lyrically these songs are rough. 4 + 20 gives me really strong red dead vibes. I really like this one. Country girl is a really cool song too. I love the vibes. Everybody I love you is all right. Not super catchy or interesting like the others but not boring either. Overall the album was fun, I’m glad I listened to it. It has a couple good songs I might come back to later but overall not my thing. Good music, I just don’t really vibe with it.

I have heard this album a few times over the years, and I never feel like i am fully satisfied with it. It is a pleasant listen, laid back, chilled out folk rock music. I think Young adds something a bit more exciting, because CSN are duller without him. It’s technically a very accomplished album and the tracks are decent. They harmonise well together, and it’s a distinctive sound. It just doesn’t quite hit the mark for me.

After listening to Radiohead I needed something good. This is that and more. One of the best acoustic supergroups ever and this album has many of their hits. Thank you for rescuing me!

An optional country

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

Some nice classic rock. A few big hit songs and a few that are good despite not being big hits. I have never heard this album as a whole and I enjoyed it more than I thought.

Liked this more than I thought I would, it’s basically a better version of the byrds when they turned country but with more rock n roll and a combination of moody blues like harmonies. Lots of catchy songs and a great cover of Joni Mitchell. Some really nice guitar playing throughout aswell. Favourites: carry on, helpless, Woodstock, our house and 4 + 20. Overall, 7/10.

No sabía ni de la existencia de este grupo, y ha sido una sorpresa lo mucho que me han gustado, este álbum en específico me ha gustado bastante, destacando 4 + 20 y woodstock, seguramente siga escuchando al grupo 😋

Fav: Country Girl Least Fav: Almost Cut My Hair Neil Young always finding a way to feature in this list, just when you think his solo career isn’t enough

It's pretty solid, but nothing that stuck out in my mind too much after the fact. Id need another listen to fully form an opinion on it. 3.5/5

Somehow had heard some of those songs but it was enjoyable yet repetitive

I love this album and I was aghast when I read some reviews that would try to lead you to believe that CSNY harmonies are corny. No. They are heavenly. Like the voices of the angels 😇 And while Neil Young’s voice isn’t my favorite, I think his influence added another layer of depth to their folk rock sound. Awesome album start to almost finish. The second to last song, Country Girl, was kind of lame 😕

This album cover looks so familiar and recognizable to me but I’ve never listened to the album. The vocal stack throughtout the whole album is so tight and lush. Precisely well crafted. The entire album is a work of art filled with great folk songs.

Had no idea this is where our house came from. This was lovely, would listen again.

386/1001

Amazing record.

A pleasant listen! Very nice!

ourrrr house is a very very very fine house didnt know that was this band! pleasantly surprised! this is one i'd definitely come back to!

Some gnarly transition like halfway through the first song, and some cool bits otherwise but one day on and I remember basically nothing about this

Good

Dope album, I don’t think I would listen to it again but there are some good songs.

A definite improvement on CSN’s debut. This has a bit more about it, with strong contributions from Nash, in particular, and Young. Doesn’t contain enough great songs to be considered a classic though.

i loved this album more than i thought i would :)

Pretty good, not really my thing, but nice for background

My house is a banger Outside if that its fine, easy listen

Enjoyed the music

Good folk is only 2.5 - 3. This was fine.

It’s a fine little late 60’s early 70’s folksy, rock, hippy album. Not my favorite. Nothing I hated either. 2.5⭐️ rounding up.

So crazy that C S and N would make their (fantastic) self-titled album AND add Y, AND make such a killer sophomore(?) release. I don't know what's better: the instrumentation or the harmonies. Everything is so good on this album. Side A is perfect. Jerry Garcia plays pedal steel on "Teach Your Children"!!! Bonus points for this album (and Crosby and Stills) encouraging the Grateful Dead to work more with vocal harmonies. Kinda funny that they inspired Jerry & Co. to utilize layered tracks/harmonies and Rolling Stone named 'Workingman's Dead' the best album of 1970.....RIGHT before this one. No good deed goes unpunished.

Neil Young is a nice inclusion to the dynamic

Neil Young's guitar work is pretty incredible on this album, complimented by a driving rhythm section that carries through the whole album. I can't shake the feeling that the writing and production is very dated to the 70s though, in a way that some other classic albums of the period aren't.

What a line up of icons. Apart from of course Neil I think this was them at there best. Its a testament to their skill that it stands the test of time this well. Although not the best country album of all time it definitely sets the standard. Our house is by far the best especially considering the context with Jodie Mitchell.

This album was really difficult for me, on one hand I found the folk and country aspects quite boring slow and repetitive but on the other hand I really liked when the songs seemed to pick up and lean into the rock elements.

I’ve owned this on vinyl, cassette and cd. One of my go-to listens for decades. I love Almost Cut My Hair and Our House. Skipped Country Girl whenever possible due to Young’s voice.

One of the greatest! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lots of harmonies and great vocals. Very 60s vibes.

An incredibly innovative record blending folk and rock with psychedelia. This album is loaded with unexpected progressions and thought provoking lyrics which makes it an undeniable treasure

Классно

Very thankful this introduced me to CSNY and all of their work. Only listened to CSN stuff in the past and this is usually considered the best album from all of their work. Each of the four members contribute in their own way even if it worked for only one album. Young > Stills > Nash > Crosby

With the exception of "Ohio" and "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" most of CSNY is pretty meh for me, although it has a few standout moments, mostly from Young.

CSNY showing why they were a power group.

Epic album for me

Rockier songs good. Others less so.

I really enjoy this album! I love the sound, the harmonies, especially love that each song feels and sounds different front the rest. "Our House" from this album has been one of my all time favourite songs for a long time. It just makes me so cozy and happy! This would be a 5 aside from a few songs that aren't my favorite. 4.5/5!

Absolutely astonished how good this album was to listen to. I love the country vibes along with the harmonies pulled off in multiple songs. This album stood the test of time as I was bopping to it throughout.

Good

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

I think C,SN&Y is good music. Good melodies, beautiful male vocals...also in combination. A cross-section of American music styles...all good. But it doesn't really knock my socks off. But I understand that this album is one of the chosen healthy ones and I think it's justified

2.7/chill i guess but not overly interesting

One of the best rock album of ALL TIME... "carry on" a great opener written by Stills... into... "teach your children" the Graham Nass all timer... "almost cut my hair" by Crosby... "helpless" by Neil... then the ensemble take on Joni's "Woodstock"... and that's just SIDE ONE... "deja vu" a lovely track opens side two... by Crosby... Nash once again chimes in with an all timer... "our house"... the HAUNTING "4+20" by Stills... the MONUMENTAL song, "country girl" by Young... and the hippie dippy closer the ensemble track "everybody i love you" written by Stills/Young... if i could give a record ten stars this is it... FIVE STARS..

Makee on makee. Hyviä aikalais saundeja taas morjes!

I was vaguely familiar with CSN&Y before listening to this album, and new the popular song "Our House" which I adore, but hadn't listened to their music at all before this album. First of all, the vocal harmonies on this record are outstanding, as you'd expect from a band like this. An interesting mix of country & rock, with some hippy vibes sprinkled throughout, this album has some damn fine songs on it. "Carry On" is a great album opener, and feels like a perfect setup for what the album is about to deliver. Solid vocals, interesting melody, and sets a cool vibe. "Teach Your Children" felt nostaglic, despite not knowing the era or experiencing it first-hand. "Almost Cut My Hair" is just a cool old-school rock vibe that I'm all for. "Helpless" was pure Neil Young, beautiful and haunting. "Woodstock" & "Deja Vu" continue the good vibes, and "Our House" - the icing on the cake! Loved that song since hearing it as a child, always an enjoyable listen. "4 + 20" is a nice palette cleanser and helps reset the vibes of the album back into that Americana singer-songwriter feel, before "Country Girl" comes in hard. This Young-led track is rich with harmony, and again, carries that signature NY style of haunting, melodic and beautiful. The album closer, "Everybody I Love You", is a perfect ending to this musical journey. It encapsulates all of the great moments from previous songs, and really lets the band showcase what they're all about. Short and sweet, this album was solid from start to finish. Whilst I didn't love every track, the album as a whole was a fantasti listen. I feel like this album would sound great whilst travelling down an American highway in the 70s... which is a very specific requirement but nonetheless! It has to be 5/5!

that was good

On était à quelques harmonies d'avoir un des meilleurs albums de la liste.

But it’s almost 5. Just few songs that wen meh lowed the rating

I really liked some of the voices / songs - some voices I found a bit grating. Would probably listen again, 3/5

Better

Great! Great harmonies and overall really interesting and complex musically. Always loved Neil but hadn't listened to much CSNY. Very psych rock and reminded me of Yes with vocals and keys.

Fire album. Best Crosby stills Nash album but fuck Young, pompous liberal fuck. Every song is pretty much a hit. Jsut isn’t a five only because other ones that I love deserve it more

I knew two songs here before I even knew who they were. 'Teach Your Children' and 'Our House' which still sounds lovely, a genuine moment in a song. I got into Neil Young and Bufallo Springfield before I got into CSNY. I like some of it but not all. Helpless, 40 + 20 and Country Girl, along with Our House stand out. Stephen Stills was great, not sure he really made the most of his talent.

Boring

Our House is my favorite

It's a fine album, but I wasn't blown away by anything in particular.

Love a few songs on this album

Amazing album, amazing band. If So Far appears on this list, it's cheating and will be a 5, but tough to give this higher than a 4 even with how great it is because it's missing my two fav CSNY songs. Even so, there's like 4 bangers and no song is bad, great album.

⭐️Carry On

Ihan kiva. Kuuluu ehkä vähän liikaa kaikkien tyyppien monet tyylit: vaikka oli saatu kunnioitettava kokonaisuus, jäi se jotkin hajanaiseksi kokoelmaksi. Kivaa taustamusiikkia, sellaista älykkäämpää.

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

Also felt very generic. Opener was good though

Contender

not my cup of tea. not at all.

loved loved loved

Favorites: Carry On, Helpless, Our House It's so hard to pick favorites from this record because I adore this as a whole, so I tried to limit my 3 favorites to one per songwriter. Deja Vu is four songwriters in their prime coming together to make some of the best folk rock you'll ever hear. This record contains career highlights for all four men. I'm just in love every time I press play.

I have heard this many times as I own a copy. I like it, but I don't get excited to listen to it, and while I have heard it often, it's been a while since I put it on. And I noticed, I don't have anything from this album on my Spotify playlist. I like it. I don't love it. It's as 3.5 as it gets. I'll ruminate on whether that results in a 3 or a 4 in the morning. It just doesn't quite meet my criteria for a 4. 3 it is.

**** Great harmonies, a number of good songs, legendary album

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

I think adding Young to the mix was a good idea. Still seems kind of bland.

epico album amei

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

Really good, started out especially strong

Felt meh about this

Is this the capstone album of the hippy era? Pairing the psych blues rock sound with the rustic Americana country turn, CSNY embodies the back to the land bucolic aesthetic, a shift away from the more confrontational (or at least commentary) 60s sound to an inward looking search for the good life and concern with the outward appearances of rebellion (I almost cut my hair). Amazing vocal performances both from soloists but especially the group harmonies. I love Stills and Young exchanging gnarly filthy guitar leads under the whole thing, and the interplay between the acoustics in the rhythm section. A Jerry Garcia cameo (pedal steel on teach your children) doesn't hurt either! The recording is so nice too - there's so much space between the bass parts in the low end and the soaring highs of the vocals harmonies, and each instrument has its own room to come through and contribute to the whole.

ok

Amazing album that shows each member of the 4 showcasing their talents front stage while also having the chemistry to be in cahoots with each other on non lead songs (well maybe not as much Young but you get it) 5/5

I knew a couple of these tracks but most were new. I was hoping to avoid too much Neil Young here but every song he sung I wanted to shove a rusty ice pick in my ear canals. He costs the album a star here, like so many other NY albums I’ve found on this project

My favorite Crosby, Stills, & Nash album... because it has Neil Young. Great moody and "post-hippie" songs.

The mixing is ridiculous. The harmonizing gives me chills. The second phase of "Carry On"... living me breathless with that tom/bongo transition. The lead guitar woven in so nicely.

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

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

for some reason not what I expected? it's pleasant, not lifechanging though

very nice, great in the background, but not in love

Just love this

Love the harmony of these 4 guys. Great music, album full of great songs.

Great album. The 4 of them together make some seriously stellar music. Sometimes you just gotta let your freak flag fly!

Such a classic. The harmonies together followed by the distinct vocals separated. The album is an example of a pleasant folky, peaceful, acoustic sixties album. I just wish some of the lyrics weren't so corny.

huge banger

10

THE supergroup of their era, what an album. While I really enjoyed every track, and the uniqueness of each member and their contributions, I think I need a few more listens to gain deeper appreciation for the whole project to really take it to the next level, which I do think is there.

Eh. Probably the most "classic rock"-ass album I've heard in a while. Not bad, but not really my thing. Prefer Neil Young on his own.

It's fine. I don't hate it. Harmless classic rock.

Strong opening of first track, upbeat but tailed off into feeling derivative. Most likely it was not at the time of release. Our House stands out on first listen as familiar songs often do. A couple more listens (it's a short album) and the harmonies & musicianship shine through

So many great songs on this album. Really excellent

A bona fide classic, those harmonies are killer. Kudos to whomever was wrangling the egos on display.

Wonderful album. Classic harmonies. Laurel Canyon all the way. Still I hope to never hear Our House ever again

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

It was pretty good but only had a few high points - not enough to save it.

Good

Almahhoost CUT my heeeeair/ Happened justheotherday/ Was gettin/ KIIIIIIIIINDA lawwwwng/ Yeah Déjà Vu is right. Eat your heart out Olivia Rodrigo, this is Crosby, Stills and fuckin' Nash. ...AND THEN NEIL YOUNG!!!

Darned fine folk rock. But sadly I don't have much else to say than that. I enjoyed this album but I don't expect to be seeking it out much. It all works, it's just not my favorite thing in the world. I've been a fan of Neil Young's music so his contributions are noticed and appreciated.

Carry on Love is coming Love is coming to us all

fabulous album

Harmonies. Hits. Lyrics. Just a great time.

Certainly one of the classics of pop music, which you can always listen to.

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

Not all great but too much interesting stuff to rate low. FS: Our House (mainstream) or Helpless (turns out I love Neil Young)

I don't know! Another perfectly fine but miscellaneous 70s album!

Listened to before: Yes This Album always sounded more like a compilation than an actual album to me. I like a lot of it's ingredients, but as a whole it never worked for me as well as one would expect. I can't even say why. Perhaps the 70s harmonising vocal style is not for me. Helpless is one of my favourite Neil Young Songs, apart from that I enjoy side B more than side A. Rating: 3.5 Stars

Mye fint her.

I initially clicked on the 50th anniversary deluxe edition and wanted to cry at the thought of listening to 3+ hours of CSNY. Thankfully, the non-deluxe version was still an option. 36 minutes is much better. This is that weird time period when everyone was doing their version of country/folk, which is not my musical preference. I'm surprised I liked some of these songs, especially Carry On, Helpless (though Neil Young's vocals almost ruin it), Our House, and 4+20.

It was nice but not really my vibe.

Title: #0040: At the Turn of the 70s The voices of the singers immediately take me back in time. Old harmonies, the style of singing all immediately feel familiar to me. Feels like the 70s. How do I know that? What is it about the sound that makes me automatically know? And then right when I see the year of the album: 1970. I realize they’re right at the forefront of the psychedelic decade. It feels like rock, it feels psychedelic, it all feels familiar yet new at the same time. Definitely inventive. I wonder if they’re the reason the music of the 70s sounds the way it does? Maybe it’s the voice of Neil Young that feels so familiar to me? As I explored the album further, I learned more about the band and how they work together. Learning about the collaborative community culture of the late 60s early 70s helped me understand why they covered Joni Mitchell’s Woodstock which was a song she wrote about accounts of those that attended. Their rendition of her track really takes it to another level with the twangs of the guitar, singing along to Joni’s lyrics. Then I learned my favourite track of the album “Our House” was a song about Joni Mitchell! Already being a fan of her work, learning these Easter eggs about the album added to the entertainment for me. I really liked how creative this album was. Each band member wrote their own songs, and each had a chance to sing their own songs. Maybe I haven’t been paying attention to other bands and groups that do this, but this feels like a new concept to me. I like that each had a chance to showcase their own lyrical style, musical technique and textures. I really liked the atmospheres that Crosby created, I especially loved the voice of Nash, and Stills brought an array of instruments and harmonies that are pivotal to that 70s sound for me. Ironically, Young’s voice, and being the only Canadian member (so I should be more proud) I wasn’t too much a fan of. All in all, this album felt like a time travelling device. It took me to a time that truly seemed to have optimism, happiness, community; a time I wish I could have lived through. And by the end, it answers my question: that all the textures and sounds of the 70s seem to echo what’s found in this album, elements of blues, elements of that psychedelic drumming and guitar, interesting rock guitar solos, while also having mixes of acoustic and folk rock elements. It’s a collaborative community through music that connects many artists of that time together. And you can truly feel it here. Listening to this album is a glimpse of that community as they enter the turn of the 70s. Rating: [3.3/5] – [Enjoyed it] Standout Tracks: “Our House”, “Woodstock”, “Teach Your Children”, “Deja Vu”

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

Already liked them but this album gave me more of an appreciation of their guitar writing and riffs. I feel like I hear quite a bit of Beatles influence especially on Our House and Everybody I Love You. I wish I could have seen the reception to those and the comparisons made back when the album was released.

A cohesive, easy-going, quality rock album from the four person powerhouse. There really are no flaws within this project, and giving it anything under a 5/5 rating would feel criminal. Neil Young added an element to the group that makes them come together better, and the album is a perfect reflection of rock music from this era.

Great songs. I think I need to actually revisit CSNY

Adding Neil Young really made this a rock album, didn't it?

More harmonic goodness, transformed (for better or for worse) by the addition of Neil Young. The songwriting shines here too (even Joni Mitchell tapped in to write a song). No big "hits" per se, but a somewhat comfortable listen.

Great album

Really enjoyed this one to be honest.

Sure, it's old dad music, but that's not gonna stop me from enjoying the cheesy sounds of 70s crap rock that's supposedly super influential. I mean, 'Our House' and 'Carry On'? Fun stuff, man.

Nothing stand out aside from the classics Teach Your Children and Our House, except I'm OBSESSED that he says "I feel like letting my freak flag fly" in Almost Cut My Hair; I did NOT know that phrase was that old. Actually just got to the title track and it's VERY cool. Slight Jethro Tull sound. 4 + 20 is pretty cool too - dark country sound.

Very lovely, this group got me into the folkier singer/songwriter genre. Trying to analyze why this time, the vocal melodies reminded me of Yes a little bit and maybe that was the through line that grabbed me (3.5/5)

Its ok but not my musice type

Местами неприятное, звенящее и встревающее в уши пение нила Очень зашло его мультифункцианальное пение В остальном просто прекрасный альбом с сочетанием всего чего можно, тут как будто соьрано все что часто использовали позже, по ощущению очень вличтельный альбом, прекрасная мультиинструментальнач игра налегающая на душу, очень классные и неожиданные переходы.

Pas tout écouté, mais ce que j'ai écouté était cool

Sympa globalement. J'ai enregistré une chanson que je connaissais déjà. J'avais oublié que c'était d'eux. Go Queens (pas le groupe lol non non, la salutation de coutume dans la communauté LGBTQ+

Deuxième moitié veaiment bien. Long à démarer

I liked this one. Great musicianship, tight harmonies, enough variety that you can tell different people were the lead writers for each song. A couple of the big ones stood out to me, but heard the title track for the first time and most of the others. I really enjoyed just about everything on this, but not sure it would become part of my regular rotation. Did add to library.

Every other song was good, just pretty average folk rock for me

10/10

Mein drittes Album von der Liste, das Neil Young enthält, von den anderen hatte ich auch schon Soloalben. Nicht ganz so meins, aber man kann es sich anhören. Außerdem schön kurz.

Some classics, but no favorites.

good vibe! sonzao. ouvir mais!!

Amerikako musikaren diskariko on bat.

Great album, some iconic songs.

Re divertido y re variado Las canciones que mas me gustaron: Carry on - me gusta cuando improvisan asi todo bluesy y el hecho de que la canción cambie a la mitad Almost cut my hair - psicodélico rock pink floyd type shit WOODSTOCK - TEMÓN el solo es locura y es muy pegadiza Deja Vu- solitos del bajo Our House - rrrre cute 4 + 20

Interesting album. 70s vibes with a wide range. Some country rock and some songs that could have been lifted from Sgt Pepper’s movie.

not bad. better than expected, and some of the less-overplayed songs i hadn't heard before and were pleasantly surprised by (almost cut my hair)

Way better than expected. Not the typical csny forgettable bs. Some variety and lot of good tunes

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

The simulacrum of 1970s folk rock. Impeccably tight harmonies that lend embarrassment to the Auto-tune movement, interesting variety of songs and songwriting throughout, overall fairly memorable and worthy of citation on the list of 1001. 7/10 -> 3/5. Important album, but a "safe" one at that. Not the most daring or contiguous album I've heard.

Quite good

Would be a 5 if it weren’t for a couple cheesy AF Graham Nash songs.

A classic

'Carry On' is a really good opener. A proper jaunty bluesy foot tapper of a track. Halfway through it changes up and turns into a more funky track with a really good solo running through it. 'Helpless' is a lovely tune sung by Neil Young (yes, I still like his voice!), 'Deja Vu' is also sung really well by David Crosby who probably has the best voice and suits 1970's rock music best. It's a good rock song. '4 + 20' is a really nice acoustic song and 'Everybody I Love You' is a great closing track, it's a classic 70's upbeat rock tune. I really enjoy the harmonising on this album a lot, it really sounds great and is always a treat when it appears. Some good songs, some okay songs, some dull songs. Overall a mixed bag but some good highs.

This is a very good album. Probably better than I was expecting.

It’s fine. Teach the Children just doesn’t work for me. Feels preachy and self important.

Just electric on all accounts. And I say that as a buzz word - not as literal as you might think. Hard to find a bad thing to say about this album. Believe it or not - our house wouldn't even be in the top 3 for me on this record. Carry on, almost cut my hair, Helpless, Woodstock....i mean the list just goes on and on with banger after banger. Deja Vu of course. I remember sitting in my apartment in my mid 20's(i'm 33 now) and spinning this in the background. And my buddy's girlfriend, now wife, who just moved in commented how drab this was. I paused the video game i was playing and explained the magic that was Deja Vu. She never got it...It's ok. I won't hold it against her. She's still cool. Neil Young added so much to this group - but i think the amazing thing about CSN&Y(even without Y)....just the absolute musicianship across the board. Everybody had stellar solo careers. Every combination of this group is just killer no matter what way you cut it.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young....the original super group? Carry On is a solid opening song. Teach Your Children is in the running for the most overrated songs in history. Followed up with Almost Cut My Hair which is one of the most underrated songs of all time. I heard it on one of those "deep cut Saturday" radio promos and loved it. It is probably my favorite CSNY (or CSN for that matter) song. Neil Young has to center Canada of course. Our House is terrible too. The rock songs are better than the folk songs.

hello from north ontario :)

One of my favorites. Such a great album. 5 stars.

Amazing. 4 Stars.

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

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

moy moy moy moy moy moy moy bueno

This was nice. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Neil Young led songs, and some of it was corny, but it was enjoyable to listen to.

A lot of tracks on this one that I now well but I'd never listened to this album in its entirety prior. Likely CSNY's best work.

Of course as the famous story goes this was originally supposed to be Crosby, Stills, Nash & Chutney but Neil Young kicked up such a fuss! He was a right baby about it. Ken Chutney didn’t need to be in the band, his duo with Len Houmous was already world famous so he gracefully stepped aside. 4.5

classic folk music

This album is really good, the harmonies and rhythm are such a deep part of the era. I listened to it as I helped people board a tender to go to the ship, and it made time fly.

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

Fav tracks: Woodstock , our house , 4 + 20 None of the songs are particularly interesting, they seem to build up to nothing

I liked it

Excellent

Allright, need to be in the right vibe

I do truly love Our House and Teach My Children, but I’d love to hear this with those songs out and some extra edgier Young and/or Stills tracks instead. It’s apparently as much of a “group” album as The White Album was for The Beatles, which is a bit unfortunate. Stills is an underrated guitarist and songwriter. Graham Nash wrote OH and TMC, so maybe he shouldn’t be on this album at all, except for those sumptuous 3 or 4 part harmonies — OK, he gets to stay. The title track, Carry On, and Neil’s two songs are all great. I remember from a book of Rolling Stone Record Reviews from August of 1971 there was a small section called “The Review as Fiction”, and the only one that stuck with me was for this album. The gist of the fictional story was that a bunch of hippies in 1970 would make plans for bombs and talk about revolution, but mostly they just hung around and got high and were waiting for the Deja Vu album to be released. Then a new guy called them out on their bullshit saying they needed to get rid of all their music and dope distractions and really commit to the revolution and all the friends took it to heart and got rid of their music and their dope. But on the day the album came out, the chastised ex-revolutionaries heard music coming from down the hall, and when they got to the room, it was the guy who had called them out, and he was sitting on the floor with a giant joint in his hand, completely spaced out and completely grooving to the Deja Vu album, becoming just like those he had called out earlier. I’m not sure if the fictional story was meant to be in praise of the album or critical of the album (probably the latter) but it was a decent story. I still have the book of course, and reread the story today. Anyhoo, still a solid 5 for me. A staple of card playing days in high school.

I think “our house” is one of the best songs in the pop canon, I think “helpless” is also pretty great, and then there’s also the rest of the album!

Standout Songs: Almost Cut My Hair Woodstock 4 + 20

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

This would have been one of the albums that my father would talk about when we would be listening to a classic rock station. Some solid songs and great musicianship. A good listen.

Rich harmonies & sharp songwriting showcase each member’s distinct voice and songwriting style.

ELSKAAA helpless:,( Neil Young:,(

This album is wild, starts off with hippies singing about love. Drops into a blues tune that starts off with him having the thought of cutting his hair. Then a song about wanting to move to Canada to escape the draft but being told no. The whole time you're listening you can just feel the 60's. It is a capsule of time in an album.

C’est probablement le meilleurs album de Neil Young que j’ai écouté à date, sans doute parce qu’il y a trois autres gars pour diluer sa présence - Cyril, est-ce que tu m’entends, hé oh? Est-ce que tu me vois, hé oh, oh, oooh oh oooh oh! Désolé du délai, ça fait un boutte que j’ai été voir les reviews de l’Héptade, qui ont plus tendance à m’insulter que de vouloir rentrer en correspondence avec moi, mettons! Ça me fais ultra plaisir d’ailleurs d’établir un contact avec le Vieux Continent, comme on l’appel de part chez nous, surtout si c’est pour parler de zique. Donc, je m’appel Émile, pour commencer. Mon album préféré de la liste originale… c’t’un peu dur à répondre, on dirait que j’ai de la misère à digérer autant d’albums. Tu sais quoi, je vais énumérer mes prefs que j’ai écouté (et certain qui me seront générer dans l’avenir (oui je triche, c’est quoi le problème?)): - Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake, par Smile (je dis depuis 4 ans que c’est mon album préféré à ceux qui me pose cette épineuse question (ça leur clou habituellement le bec, ils n’ont jamais entendu ce nom là), j’adore la vibe pop/folkorique à Hobbit complètement gelé comme une balle. C’est vraiment une aventure personnelle à chaque réécoute, qui m’emplit d’une joie profonde, et ça c’est peu fréquent.) - Fear of Music, par Talking Heads (Si t’as lu quelques-une de mes review, tu pourrais trouver vraiment weird que mon band préféré sois étiquetté à la fois post-punk ET new-wave, mais, genre, tsé, fuck les étiquettes. Fear of Music encapsule à la perfection ce que je raffole de Talking Heads: c’est weird, catchy mais complexe, très groovy et le mixage est impec. C’est sûr, Remain in Light pousse l’exercice encore plus loin, mais je suis plus Revolver que Sgt Pepper, faut dire) - †, par Justice (on peut dire ce qu’on veut sur les français, mais crisse que vous faites de la bonne électronique. Cet album a été ma porte d’entrée à ce genre musical qui me laissait souvent de marbre, n’ayant pas vraiment accroché sur Daft Punk ou Aphex Twin initialement. Je pense que c’est leur habileté à parler aux fans de rock à travers leur ultra distortions, leurs samplings et leurs compositions à la fois aggressives et grandiloquantes qui m’a vraiment hooked dès la première écoute) Bon, ça commence à être vraiment long, je vais t’en mitrailler une couple: - Physical Graffiti, par Led Zep - Reggata de Blanc, par The Police (je préfère Ghost In The Machine, mais bref) - Das Mensch Machine, par Kraftwerk - Pas mal tout les albums de Pink Floyd (à part The Wall et Oumagouma) Ok, il faut vraiment que je slaque là-dessus, ça fait quasiment 1 heure que j’écris ce message là. Donc, C’EST À TON TOUR (de te laisser, parler, d’amour! (désoler, ça doit être le patriotisme des élections)) Écris dans ta dernière critique un message similaire, je checkerais ton profil de temps en temps en signe de réponse. Je te souhaite une bonne journée (ou nuit, je connais pas le décalage horaire), et à la prochaine!

Forgettable harmony-driven tracks make this Folk Rock album a bit tireing.

The best CSN(Y) lineup, Deja Vu is the apotheosis of the country blues rock movement. One the one hand it reaches back into 1960s country infused rock (being a supergroup of 60's country rock bands) and on the other hand, looks forward to the 70's, especially Southern Rock and California-style country rock. Three things makes this album one of the best albums of all time: exquisite songwriting, Stephen Stills amazing guitar skills, and the lush harmonies of all four vocalists. These elements combine to create sweet songs (Teach Your Children, Our House), sad and plaintative (Helpless), and powerful (Carry On, Woodstock). Very few albums still get airplay after 55 years, but this one does. There is a reason for that.

Classic Rock, the best album from a group of talented guys, theres something lowkey and honestly stripped back that i love about it that i cant quite decide on

I really really enjoyed this! I wasn't a fan of every song but the ones that hit, HIT! Some songs have this epic feel to them. Also great harmonies on everything!

Reminds me of my parents

Just fine. I feel like from everything I’ve heard about CSN, this album should’ve been more remarkable?

Great stuff from a legendary quartet. Definitely a staple of 70s rock and deserving of its fame. Favorite track: Almost Cut My Hair

Side 1 had some pretty groovy songs, but not much that stood out. "Woodstock" was probably my favorite from side 1. The intro to "Deja Vu" was awesome and had me moving, but the rest of it fell off. I really enjoyed "4 + 20". The delicate vocals and acoustic accompaniment were a nice change from the very harmony-heavy tracks earlier on the album. I'm just a bit disappointed it's the shortest song.

A standard of American folk rock. Like it or hate it, it's seminal and inescapable.

A longtime favorite

An actual choir? … The first song was charming and a bit touching with the male voices singing together but by the second song that feeling wore off already. Fortunately not all songs have a choir element for their entirety. That’s not my cup of tea. I preferred the songs where the chorus was not such a prominent element like eg in Almost Cut My Hair or 4+20. I would not listen to this again but I enjoyed the vibe and a few songs.

A soundtrack to my youth

Classics

One of those bands I tend to think of as too folksy for my tastes, but honestly this album was really great. Classic tunes.

Good album

Nothing stood out to me, it was like background music

I respect the musicianship, but I do NOT like their voices, especially when they blast all at the same time. 2.5

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

Solid album, very pleasant and great songwriting.

One of my favourite albums! :)

It's my 100th album! It would have been cool if I'd got something I either loved or hated to mark this milestone, rather than something I thought was pleasant, but that's not Crosby, Stills, Nash or Young's fault. (Well, maybe Nash's - Our House and Teach Your Children are so pleasant they are verging on twee.)

Crosby, Stills & Nash are their own solar system… and Neill is a supernova capable of outshining the entire galaxy.

Really good songwriting and mixing, especially guitar-wise. Enjoyed it thoroughly. 8.5/10

Absolutely beautiful harmonies and some true classic songs. Starts strong but ends a bit weak.

It was alright

Well, alright. Liked it for the sonic textures more so than the songwriting.

3/5

Yep enjoyed this one

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

Now THIS is a great album.

Not bad but didn’t love it 6/10

I Almost Cut My Hair after listening to this one. Had some Deja Vu for sure.

uneventful except 4+20 and oh no the neil young wail

Really good songs, great sounds and shoutout to the bass player.

Enjoyed some of the CSN songs. The Y songs not so much. Harmonies were good. For an album full of "hits" I only knew 'Our House' from some lame uncool adverts.

2.5

This was excellent but probably deserves a few more listens. My favorite was “Our House”. 4.5/5

This is one of my favorites.

A few really good songs, especially early. Not generally my speed though.

ashamed to admit I found this album a bit boring.

This is such a solid folk album with some of their best hits! I feel like I’ve listened to all of these songs individually but never as a collective. I’m definitely going to add this album to my rotation! I throughly enjoyed this album and would recommend it to others!

Some good country-rock songs on it. Not much else to say.
