Deja Vu

3/5

Sitä tuttua harmoniaa jota joku pliisuksi sanoisi. Välissä vähän rokkaavampaa, mutta oikeastana vain ”Helpless” jäi mieleen.

Favorite tracks: Carry On Almost Cut My Hair Woodstock Deja Vu Our House

Full of classics

It's a good album, if very much of its time. Not that that's a shortcoming - it's what gives many works of art their poignancy. And any album that contains both "Almost Cut My Hair" and "Woodstock" is destined to have some sort of place in the history books.

I was raised on this album, it’s very near and dear to me. Personal bias aside, I really do think this is one of the greatest albums ever made. Not a bad track on the album. The harmonies are top tier. I’ve always felt that Greg Reeves and Dallas Taylor do an amazing job backing CSNY on this album. It’s just so damn good.

I really don't like Neil Young, but this was surprisingly good. Probably because there were few songs where Young sang.

4+20 is now my favorite CSN&Y song.

This album probably hits super hard if you're smoking cheap 60s weed. Jokes aside, I appreciate this album, even though I'm not a super big fan of this era's folk music (or really any era, now that I think about it). Some bigger hits on this and everyone sounds great. Lots of talent going around. 7/10.

its better than i thought it would be

Long been one of my favorite albums.

chillig 3 - 4

It's okay, but not my bag.

Better than the last C, S & N album. Some decent songs here. Still a bit hippyish for me.

Packed with classics and fantastic voices.

Legendary

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

According to Graham Nash’s retelling, Crosby, Stills & Nash originally formed to be something of a vocal supergroup, to pursue the unique sound of their harmonies that no one else had at the time. That’s why im not entirely sure why they decided to bring on Neil Young (ugh!!!), who is not a “good” vocalist and, based on the dissolution of Buffalo Springfield and the composition of this album, probably not a great collaborator either. This album strikes me as several Crosby, Stills & Nash songs with a couple Neil Young songs added onto the track list. Only one song, “Everybody I Love You”, feels like an actual blending of CSN and Y, and in fact it’s the only song on the album with a songwriting credit from both Y and one of C/S/N (Stills). My personal grudge against Neil Young aside (NY count on the list is now up to 5!), this album suffers a bit from feeling more generally like a disjointed collection of songs from different artists rather than a collaborative effort. NY’s songs sound exactly like NY songs, yes, but at the same time, the two Nash songs have a starkly simple, sweet sound that feels cloying in comparison. Crosby’s records have an imposing and overbearing dark ambience. They’re all nice tracks on their own (from CS&N at least), but together they feel a little incoherent. This is a good album. Most of the songs on it are pretty good. I think it could be a great album if the members of the band had worked together more to edit and revise these songs. I’d give it 3.5 ⭐️ if I could.

four kings slaying and serving a whole album

This is music.

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

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

A classic

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

Music good. Nothing to complain about. Could chill to it.

This album has tons of great songs.

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

A very OK dad-rock album. Not many high highs or low lows. Comfortably listenable. Neil Young was under utilized in the lineup. 3/5

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

Really pretty

I will never not love "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes."

Franchement très impressionné par ce premier album qui, même s'il a 50 ans, est quand même putain de bien et puis la qualité audio, mama👌(pas le bon emoji je sais) je m'imagine vraiment l'écouter la nuit à l'arrière de la moto de Medhi sur l'autoroute, ou simplement à regarder le ciel étoilé allongé dans l'herbe. c'est à la fois épique et très doux / relaxant à chaque fois que commençait un nouveau morceau je me disais : "nan mais c'est le dernier qui était vraiment cool, celui là je me le sens moyen" mais après quelques secondes d'écoute, en fait non : celui-là aussi il envoie du pâté je valide totalement cet album 👍

I really enjoyed it. 4+20 was my favorite

Not on this album but got introduces to “Slowpoke” by the same band, which is awesome. Enjoyed the overall chilled out, acoustic vibe.

Lekker variërend ook in vibes van de nummers en instrumenten, rock met psychedelisch sausje, overall relatief sad/melancholic, van blues/folk tot country influences, road muziek. Goede storytelling/teksten. Our house goed nummer. 7.8/10

The album was decent. Felt like I’ve heard a lot of tracks in movies or they would make great soundtrack additions At least. The guitarist is what did it for me. Four songs stuck with me.

Stunning album! Interesting to learn it was created in a Rumours-style situation where everybody hated each other. Beauty created from hate and anger apparently.

Top drawer

Our house +1, inoffensive music, tepid vocals

Very good guitar riffs

Wow. Stunning. Can't believe I've never listened to this.

This is a masterpiece.

So many good songs, carry on, teach your children, helpless, woodstock, our house. Love crosby stills and nash and love the addition of Neil Young. big fan!

Great album, reminds me a lot of what my dad would play in the car. 4.0/5 Fav song: teach your children

This is a fantastic album. CSNY is so iconic for the harmonization, but these guys could really play and shred in some of the harder stuff.

2/1001 Not my cup of tea, but can appreciate the talent.

Only recognise one song but great album!

helpless is great

3.7 3x some classics on here and a good time

Nice harmonies, wholesome tunes. Fave: Our House because cats.

Yeah, really liking this - was thinking 4.5 but immediately wanted a third playthrough, so let's round up. I guess it's an accident of personal history that I didn't get into these guys decades ago? I've liked Neil Young for ages - same with The Beach Boys' close harmonies - so if I'd been exposed to some CSN or CSNY I woulda yummed it up. Oh well. The opening of "Woodstock" sounds a whole lot like the opening of Metallica's "Ronnie" to me. Or rather, vice versa. Also, fun to hear the origin of "Our House" which I've encountered in soundtracks a lot. Ah, and "Almost Cut My Hair" is what popularized the phrase "Let your freak flag fly", though it seems it originated with Hendrix... Fave tracks - as well as those already mention, "Carry On", and the title track.

If I had to compare this album to a weinering, it would be a respectable weinering. Quite nice but nothing stood out to me

ágæt rokkplata, kveikir samt lítið í mér. samsöngur, kaliforníuköntrí. 3.

A slab of the ‘60s from the early ‘70s … liked it more than I expected to. It deserves more listening.

I’ve talked about The Best Show on WFMU before in my review of the album “Bad Company” (by the band Bad Company, which features the song “Bad Company”), but there was a segment on it many years ago, where the topic was “Who is the Dumbest Member of CSNY?”. Callers would call in with their choice and give their reasons as to why they thought that member was the dumbest member of the band. Some thought David Crosby was the dumbest for the various legal problems he encountered (like getting arrested for possessing a gun in Texas - an impressive feat, given the abundance of guns being carried at any given time in the state of Texas - In fairness, he also had a ton of cocaine in his possession at the time.) Others posited that Stills was the dumbest member for bringing Neil Young into the fold after butting heads with him in Buffalo Springfield - an action that would end up making Young the de facto leader of CSNY, at least to the point that the band was reliant upon him being involved to pull a big payday. Some thought that Young was the dumbest member because he got involved with the other three in the first place. …and a few thought Nash was the dumbest member, mostly because, well…he’s Graham Nash. (The “Who is the dumbest member of CSNY?” Topic ran across three episodes of the Best Show starting on December 16, 2008 and continued throughout the next two episodes December 23 and December 30. You can find them here: https://wfmu.org/playlists/bs - there’s also an app, the WFMU Archive Bunker, for your mobile device, if you are so inclined) Based solely off of this record, I’d have to cast my vote for David Crosby. “Almost Cut My Hair”, lyrically, is a pretty stupid song. Looking at CSNY’s entire career, I’d have to say it’s probably Stills, because he brought in Neil Young after having a struggle with him over the control of Buffalo Springfield and then promptly lost control of CSNY to Young as well. Regardless of who the dumbest member actually is, Deja Vu is a very solid record, even if I’m predisposed to prefer Neil Young’s contributions and agree that he was probably too good/unique to waste much time hanging out with these guys. “Helpless” is the highlight for me, with “Carry On” and “Woodstock” not far behind. Overall a solid record, but I prefer listening to Young as a solo artist/with Crazy Horse to the time he spent with CSN and I don’t really have much affection for the other three (outside of Crosby for his time in The Byrds and his latter-day, curmudgeonly twitter escapades).

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

it’s hard reacting this one. i can’t really look at it objectively.

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

Why do people like this??

Not a single bad song on this album, if you like this sort of stuff and I do. CSNY sure had the harmonies and melodies that defined the peak 70’s folk rock genre. Let’s not forget that pedal steel and other guitar pieces that musta made for one hell of a good show back in the day!

Mediocre

Maybe it's just not the day for this, but it feels like lame lyrics set to predictable music.

Lotta classics, I think this would have got 5 stars on a Monday, 4 stars on a Friday

Absolutely iconic. Fond memories of this as a kid, too.

Pleasant album! Great instrumentals and vocal work. 'Teach Your Children' was my fave.

Carry on is immaculate relate heavily to "almost cut my hair" Our house to end of album is masterful entire sound is rich and folksy, familiar but fresh

It's fine. Better than anticipated.

Maybe a 5

Our House is good

A CSNY album is always a great choice for a long road trip. I can just imagine myself as a trucker or a beat up cop driving through 70s America with this blasting from my car.

A really solid album. "Our house" will always remain a favorite in my heart

Some iconic stuff on here. A couple skips for me though which brings it down from a 5.

Real mixed feelings on this one for me. You know when you first see the album art you get that unconscious reaction: half of me was “oh nice!” but a big part of me thought, “Ugh, will I have to listen to this on YouTube?” Thankfully it is on Spotify, but it’s another example enjoyment tinged with annoyance. I love a couple of these tracks - Teach your Children and Helpless can reduce me to tears if I’m in a particular headspace, but a lot of the other songs still fail to make any impression on me. I recognise that this is a SuperGroup and a super album, but my main problem with this list is the amount of off shoots from this project that got included on the list. It’s 5 star, but it’s a weird 5 stars. I wish I’d have got this one over a weekend.

Okay for it's time. Probably better stoned

A lot of pleasant songs

This ruled

Is this album on the list twice? I feel like I've heard it before...

THE hippy-folk supergroup of the late '60s—I mean, just listen to the words of songs like 'Almost Cut My Hair', 'Everybody I Love You', and the Joni Mitchell-penned 'Woodstock'. With this many musicians driving the show, this album was bound to be somewhat of a mess, but it's a mostly good mess. You'll get the opening folk harmonization, followed by the more country-rock pedal-steel driven 'Teach Your Children', a psychedelic leaning title-track, the poppier 'Our House', and straight-up Rock N' Roll closer with 'Everybody I Live You'. It was all very enjoyable, though. I really loved Neil Young's spotlight track with 'Helpless', a song detailing his very uncertain childhood. I also really enjoyed the song 'Country Girl', perhaps the grandest sounding thing here - despite it not being the most interesting song lyrically. CSNY supergroup or not, I think this album is just very solid in its own right. While not doing much special for its time, it does what it does very well.

I know some of the songs, but first time listening to this front to back, I think?, and... to reiterate my review from the CSN without Y record from 141 albums ago: the US folk rock offerings in here have been clear hits or misses, hardly anything in between but when they hit, they really do. I love this. Oh god, I'm a hippie! But seriously. Moving, gorgeous, beautiful. I may not like everything equally; "Teach the Children" was juuust saved by the vocal harmonies and lyrical content, "Country Girl" is rather meh and I might prefer Joni Mitchell's own "Woodstock" but those still contribute to an easy 36 minutes of a great, tight album. Gets an extra +1 in terms of AYMHBYD, so it's six out of five.

Better than CSN, not as good as Y.

This is an all time classic record. Every track has merit.

A beautiful piece of work, and having four songwriters (and singers) means that the tone and the sound shifts throughout.

The quintessential boomer album. You could be 14 years old for all I care, but if this is your favourite album, you're really just a boomer deep down. A chill kind of boomer with good taste, but a boomer all the same.

Amazing songwriting, but still uneven. I don’t think these guys could make a perfect album because they just have different styles and don’t feel super unified. Still, this was very good. ML #92.

Great songs wall to wall.

Love this album. Maybe I should grow my hair long

3/5. The album is decent background music. Helpless is a good track. No real bangers on this one though, no meat to chew.

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

Love iiiit. Will be blasting Our House when I finally own my own home, so probably never but I can imagine owning one while listening.

Pretty good. Enjoyed it more than the Neil Young solo album. Personal favourites were Helpless, Woodstock, and Our House.

Neil Young sings like a 3rd grader

Skönt album Bästa låtarna: Helpless, Our house

The Neil Young tracks are the strongest, but on the whole album is really good. Didn't love it as much as his album Harvest, but it's really good. 4 stars.

So good. So easy to listen to. Really solid album.

I can’t deny their talent, or musicianship. But I still don’t like the style of music.

Oh hell yes. I love it when I get an album I already dig. You know that scene in the lord of the rings that goes like: Aragorn: "you have my sword!" Gimli: "you have my axe!" Legolas: "you have my bow!" I picture the formation of this band as follows: Crosby: "you have my guitar!" Stills: "you have my guitar!" Nash: "you have my guitar!" Young: "you have my guitar!"

Some great Neil Young songs and the rest is quite bad.

Amazing record. I love the blending of the voices. Our House is a classic. Very close to 5 stars!

Eén van m'n favoriete albums of all time. Zo fucking goed. Top rock nummers, gemengd met folk en blues. Dit heeft alles. Dit is een album dit ik 5x na elkaar kan beluisteren zonder maar één keer iets te moeten skippen. 5.0

So I love them….and have my whole life. I always listened to “So Far” and not this cut of this album. They share a lot of the same tracks though. Some of my favorite songs of all time are on here. It’s great to be able to listen to them with the good headphones, with especially the harmonies. I’m gonna have to listen to the last few tracks which I’m not as familiar with again, I got distracted and listened but didn’t REALLY listen you know? Overall, love it.

Awesome. Classique. Makes me want to go on a road trip to the desert and have an emotional microdose experience next to a campfire.

A stellar first outing from CSNY

Great!

85/100. Déjà Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is a beautifully produced album that truly captures the magic of legends at work. The record features lively instrumentation and harmonious vocals, making it a joy to hear these iconic musicians jam together.

Perfect inflection point between 60’s folk/rock and what was to come in the early 70’s for rock. Everybody was for a moment in that band totally together and making a near perfect album. 4.5⭐️

I just received a Neil Young album yesterday, and today we have CSN & Young... I'm keeping an eye on that premeditated script, huh, 1001albunsgenerator! But I'm not complaining, quite the opposite. I've been completely immersed in Neil Young's work, and all his projects, like his contribution to Crosby, Stills & Nash. Here he leaves us with at least two wonderful songs in his voice: Helpless and Country Girl. Speaking of the album as a whole, few times in history do you get the opportunity to listen to an album as perfect as this one. All 10 tracks are absolute hits. There are songs that hit the soul hard like "Almost Cut My Hair" and "4 + 20" and there are songs that are impossible not to shake your bones like "Woodstock" and "Everybody I Love You" One of the easiest 5 stars I've ever given!

4.75

Not bad

Over half of the songs on this album still hit when they're not hitting hard and the harmonies are outstanding. An excellent album!

acapella 3/5

Good

норм

7.5/10 Fave track: Deja Vu

Not my cup of tea.

This album is mad. Like, Teach Your Children Well and Our House are lovely little songs, but what are they doing on an album with Helpless, Almost Cut My Hair and Country Girl on? It's not dull though, and much of it is brilliant.

I've listened to this album for many decades. It still shows me new twists, and the nostalgia is just as poignant. One of the best ever. 5/5

It was ok

An all time classic to some but I think its just ok. Young certainly made the band more than what it should have been.

Exceeded my expectations. Expected more mellow/ all folk and it was more dynamic than I anticipated. Some catchy tracks and good songwriting

Truly heavenly harmonies. I do wish I could easily differentiate their vocals (besides those of Young). One of the better folk albums I’ve heard from this time period. Standout track is: “Woodstock”

I can see why this album is the best selling of any of their other albums either as a group or individually. I never realized there were so many of the classic CSN&Y songs came from one album.

5/10

Music your grandpa will love.

Excited because I've never listened to one of these all the way through.

Always great 👍

“Teach Your Children” and “Our House” are the type of songs that you’ve heard so many times that you can’t really have an opinion on them. I mean, do you like or dislike “Jingle Bells” or “America the Beautiful” or are they just part of your musical DNA that is too deeply embedded to have an opinion on? In addition to those two “too big to like or dislike” songs, “Carry On”, “Helpless”, “Woodstock” and “Deja Vu” are all good. This is an impressive album. I don’t play it often but I do like it.

PERFECT FUCKING ALBUM

Perfect!

Improves upon the CSN debut in nearly every way, and the addition of Neil Young is inspired, and "Our House" never fails to make me tear up

This supergroup came together for one album, completely knocked it out of the park, and went (roughly) their separate ways. Whether it’s fast-paced, clattering folk rock, heartfelt moral ballads or bass-heavy psychedelic controlled insanity, C, S, N and Y all hold up together to produce an incredibly cohesive and strong folk rock classic, entering the 70s with a near-unmatchable bang. Stop me if you think you’ve heard this one before, but Déjà vu is another of these albums that can’t be described further than what I’ve poorly attempted to say in the previous paragraph. A largely heralded and respected folk rock record, for all the right reasons. There’s nothing that hasn’t been said before. Just sit back and enjoy, I suppose.

Simply fantastic. Four massive egos fighting for musical dominance. Neil youngs music is still boring and whiny though lol Also the last two tracks don't quite do it for me, but the first 8 (except helpless) are incredible..... I just noticed that track 9 is also a Neil young track. God he's so overrated lol

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

“Woodstock” is the best song on the album. “Helpless” stands out in a bad way. The lead vocalists on that song sounded horrible. Most of the other songs are forgettable.

I enjoyed that, more bluesy thank folky.

Superb. Amazing harmonies, memorable songs, good lyrics, great musicianship. Side one is particularly strong but there is not a single filler on this album. Personal highlight is Woodstock which is so much better than the Matthews Southern Comfort version

Had to listen to David Crosby solo yesterday and now this… There is way too much country/folk/psychedelia on this list. I’m so damn tired of it. This has the songs you know and is mercifully short. Still hate Neil Young’s voice.

I was clearly in the right mood for this because I really enjoyed it.

The supergroup of CSNY is exactly what you'd expect from the artists involved - a rare case of the total being exactly the sum of its parts. Good enough, easy listening down home rock, not mind blowing but not awful - pure middle of the road for me.

olyan negyvenszer hallgattam meg a Helplesst szerintem ma reggel óta. ha az egész album olyan lenne mint ez a szám, csillagosötös lenne, de van egy olyan érzésem, hogy kicsit öncélúak ezek a nagyonszép harmóniák néha, és max 3 szám van az albumon, ami tényleg magában is érdekes. azért kap egy négyest, mert lehet hogy csak szigorú kedvemben vagyok továbbra is 😆

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

Deja Vu is the second album album from Crosby, Stills & Nash, and their first as a quartet, with Neil Young. C,S&N was regarded as a "supergroup;" the addition of a their fourth made term seem not quite strong enough. This album was the most successful album of the group's career long, storied career. C,S,N&Y used layered harmonies as well as any group in popular music, with a mixture of guitar elements from folk and rock. The group's greatest strength is in their songwriting, with all members contributing to this incredible collection of songs.

A near perfect album, with the fantastic harmonies as expected from CSN, an extra heap of grit added by Young's, and superb songwriting as usual throughout. Best Tracks: - Our House - Helpless - Carry On Worst Tracks: N/A Rating: 9/10

I’ve never been too much into folk rock but I do like CSN&Y

Mono is not optimal for headphones. ...reminds me of daytime TV intro-music. It's got some groove though! 3/5

I always forget how much I like this until I listen to it.

Absolutely beautiful and powerful. If it wasn’t for one dud song this would be a 5

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

Favourite album so far - really enjoyed this.

Some songs were good, didn't care for some. Not my genre or preference of music

pior que eu cresci escutando crosby stills nash e young, pela primeira vez em mto tempo eu senti uma nostalgia positiva com alguma coisa

tem umas boas, até. Almost Cut My Hair é pedradaça pra quem gosta desse estilo, pô bem feito demais. tudo que os cara sabia fazê eles mandaro ver nesse album aqui. super bem produzido. eu gostei bastante até, tô bem surpreso.

Bastante sin más, pero está entretenido. No hay mucho más que comentar, recomendado si te gusta el rock de los 70. Canción destacada: Teach Your Children

I had no idea what album this was and until I saw the cover and realized I'd listened to this album my whole life. It's impressive to see so many talented musicians get along as well as they did while each contributing to each other's work. Really just pulls you back in time

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

3.5 rounded up

Embarrassed I never listened to this, but then I heard the first song and realized why. Some of these songs are great: Helpless is great, but it's clearly Neil Young. Really, the overall tone of the album is too folk-y without the hook-y for me. Reading other people's reviews, seems I have an unpopular opinion. This stuff just isn't for me and I guess it turns out that I like Neil Young but maybe not CSN. Shame, because the album cover is sick.

Love this. But, man I don't like Neil Young

Another one of those albums that you forgot just how good it is until you put it on again and think, ah yes now I remember why I bought it! Beautiful harmonies, great melodies and some fab guitar to boot. Absolute peach of a record.

This was pretty good. I've had more than my fair share of Neil Young albums come up so far, so his presence on this album scared the fuck out of me (his solo albums have been shockingly bad). However, there were some pretty good tracks and only a few low points (ahem, tracks with the aforementioned Mr Young's vocals prominent).

Varied

such a classics, great album

I like it, I am still listening to it but a great old time country feels

4 out of 5. I've only recently began to appreciate their music and this was a good start for me.

I really liked the more folk/ country inspired tracks on this one like Teach Your Children and the doing Our House is a classic! The production and instrumentation is excellent, the vocals are a bit hit and Miss and sometimes are a bit grating but the group harmonies are super sweet. Songwriting is pretty good for the most part outside of a couple of songs, least favourite would probably be the opener. Overall it’s a nice short sweet album but it doesn’t have too much I’d come back to. 3/5

"our house" è la mia canzone del cuore di questo periodo, ma non abbastanza cmq per salvare le altre

'And so, become yourself / Because the past is just a goodbye' ('Teach Your Children'); 'In my mind, I still need a place to go / All my changes were there' ('Helpless); 'They stop by to die because / It's faster than sinking' ('Country Girl'). Moments like these show just how excellent this album can be, but it's mostly a vague excellence, fleeting, not fully realized. The four seem to know what they are doing but not quite where they are going. Emotionally, 'Helpless' has it, I do enjoy the parodic (or is it sincere?) 'Our House,' and the driving 'Carry On' is a superb entry. But I'm not all that proud to wear my 'freak flag' listening to 'Almost Cut My Hair,' and 'Woodstock' isn't nearly Joni's best. A very good record, but in love with it I am not.

all filler around our house which is obviously very good

Enjoyed! 4/5

Klassiker. Da schließe ich mal der Mehrheit der Rock-Opas aus dieser Runde an.

8/10

Folk, Rock, 1970 -> 3

Iz okay for me

Git, ale nuda

Perfect zondagsalbum! Ik heb hem niet helemaal geluisterd gisteren maar heb deze zeker al vaker opstaan

Almost cut your hair kende ik nog niet, stem klinkt een beetje als raccoon. Verder wel een banger van een album, classic csny sound.

Wat een dijk van een plaat. Stond al een tijdje op mijn radar omdat het wel een klassieker is, maar nooit aan begonnen omdat ik had verwacht dat het van die lome folky singer-songwriter muziek zou zijn. Niets daarvan. De harmoniën die ik bij LRB zo lekker vind, vindt je hier in overvloed. Echt genoten. 4,8/5

This album was fun. The vocal harmonies were pretty amazing and the guitar parts are so good. I really enjoyed this album. It has that "old time" feel to it. "Everybody I Love You" , "Carry On" , and "Our House" are AMAZING. Liked Songs: "Everybody I Love You" , "Carry On" , "Our House" , "Teach Your Children" , "Almost Cut My Hair" , "Deja Vu" , and "Country Girl"

liked songs: Carry On, Almost Cut My Hair, Woodstock, Deja Vu Honestly, Our House isn't that good but the rest of the album is pretty neat. Lots of cool vocal harmonies, and good variety (probably because the songs were written by 4 different individuals). Very good. 3.75

Never listened to CSNY before. Nice blend of rock and country. Best song: Our House

Eh, forgettable.

Woodstock vibes

Honestly banger of a album

Pretty good, classic stuff

Excellent. Favourite songs - cut my hair, our house.

Definitely the kind of music I like though not a top favourite—low 4 or high 3. Unfortunately I overdid it listening to Neil Young ‘Harvest’ as a student and haven’t quite recovered!

decent album. ensemble singing slow jam rock

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

I don't get the love.

Nice album, very musical. Blend of country and blues.

Good bass lines. More of a coffee shop vibe for me. I would have enjoyed the concert back in the day.

Classic album, great tracks. I love 4 + 20 and I almost cut my hair.

Well, I've gotten an album from Crosby, Stills & Nash, and I've gotten plenty of albums from Neil Young, so surely the combining of these talents is bound to make something great, right? Right indeed! This album's great! I really like it. All four band members get their own songs to shine, though between "Teach Your Children" and "Our House," I think Graham Nash is the clear winner of this album. Of course, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, and the then-newly-added Neil Young are also great. The sound is nice. There's a nice mix of acoustic and electric folk rock. The pacing is good. This is just a very strong folk rock album with lots of talent behind it. Amazing album right here. High 4/5.

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

OK

Carry On, Almost Cut My Hair, Woodstock, Deja Vu, I really like and have listened to those on a compilation album a long time ago. I love their harmony of voices. I never cared for the slide guitar on Teach Your Children. Overall a really great album with just a few misses for me, 4 star.

When it comes to CSN (and sometimes Y), the vocal harmonies are the draw. This album doesn't disappoint on that front. The classic rock radio hits are almost all here. The deep-cut highlights are "Helpless", "Déjà vu", and "Country Girl". I'm not a big fan of Neil Young's voice, so I would have preferred Helpless and Country Girl had different lead singers, but even still, they're great songs. 4 stars

Good album. Their collective harmonies work well with the music. Very laid back and soothing. Peaceful. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

This is a very different album, but I think I kind of feel similarly to how I did about The Who's "Who's Next" album. It has one of my favorite songs of all time ("Our House" in this case), and is generally strong overall, but falls just a little short of a perfect rating for me. This is the follow-up to Crosby, Stills, & Nash, which came out the year before (and was album #192 on here for me), this time adding Neil Young to the mix. The harmonies are as clean as always, but they still manage to rock a bit at times too. "Teach Your Children" is another great track on here, but they lose a half point because it's also on their previous album (kind of weird to recycle a song so quickly). I actually read up on "Our House" a bit here, and I didn't realize that Graham Nash wrote it while living with Joni Mitchell. It's such a simple song, but one that just perfectly captures the small moments of living with someone you love. Anyway, this was generally great. You kind of know what you get from these guys, but this is almost definitely some of their best work, whether individual or as a group. Favorite song: Our House Other: Carry On, Teach Your Children, Almost Cut My Hair, Helpless, Woodstock, 4 + 20, Country Girl 1/12/25

Easy 4/5 for this super group of talented musicians.

I liked it! I think of singer songwriter, Americana when listening to this. I like the guitar, both electric and acoustic, as well as the keyboards in Carry On. Vocal harmonies are smooth with digestible melodies for easy listening. I may not seek it out but I would happily listen to again.

Cool cover. Great album. Didn’t realize I knew so many songs. A very fine album for fine folks.

Still sick but this album is good. Obviously know and love those hits - Helpless and Our House - but especially hearing the later this time really had me tearing up

The Neil Young songs are peak

today i was in the car with my friend Mani and we both got so excited cuz we saw a licence plate that was labeled CSNY XXX and it made me sad that ill never own the CSNY 420 licence plate ... anyways its always been weird to me that neil decided that the best use of his time in the early 70s was to form a super group with these three guys who were already making records together ... i love crosby, and think N & S are totally good musicians but yeah there is super super killer tracks on here and Ohio is just an all time neil track ... ultimately Teach Your Children is my fav one ... its beautiful :)

So much talent on one album. Loved nearly every track.

Добротная классика!

Opinion may be biased because wasn’t feeling 70s music at the time.

I'm a fan of this sound, so I really enjoyed this album!

Great! I grew up to my dad playing CSN on the guitar

a classic!! our house, helpless, teach your children are my favs from this one

A staple. Our House is my favorite from the group. If you have not watched the Laurel Canyon series, the parts about Graham Nash, Joni Mitchell, and their relationship really put this whole era of music in a new light.

Some day, if you find yourself with a newborn baby who you spend hours lulling to sleep, you choose "Our House" to sing to them. This song became my go-to lullaby every night for ~6 years and still hits for me. "Life used to be so hard, now everything is easy cause of you" became a reverse psychology mantra that helped me get through the rough infant years. Rewind by many years to a my teenaged youth, and I had Helpless on repeat, to process the incomprehensible angst I suddenly felt. These songs are timeless and gorgeous and poignant. Deja Vu is my 2nd favorite to So Far (mainly because of Helplessly Hoping) but it's a classic.

Teachers your children well and make them listen to this album

I remember I bought this album for the cover - so cool - and then grew into the songs afterwards. But Neil Young makes it, really, cos in retrospect, without his reedy voice shining through, they’re just a nice country rock band. ‘Helpless’ is timeless but I found ‘Country Girl’ meant the most to me, 46 years on from that first listen. Listening laced with nostalgia from my youth.

Really pleasant album, great music and harmonies

Very good

Pretty decent, though why does Neil Young have to sing on this, I STILL don’t like his voice.

The Office forever ruined 'Teach Your Children' for me. Good thing there's always 'Our House' and the rest of this terrific record.

Adding Neil Young to this trio is just showing off.

i liked it a lot. easy to listen to.

Love anything Neil touches.

Meh, some good stuff here, but I'm not much of a Country fan and the slide guitars got me down.

I love their sound. But a bit repetitive

3.5

I've never listened to this album, but I knew a few of the songs (Helpless). Each of the CSNY dudes has their own thing going on here, the tracks alternate between leads but they all work and flow together. Beautiful harmonies and nice guitar work are the name of the game.

Not a fan of the country stuff, but the bluesy stuff is not too bad

Kinda biased here cos my da loves this album so I grew up listening to it Better than most of their other output I reckon.

it was cool

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

Not my favorite but I love the harmonies and Helpless is my favorite CSNY song

Can't believe how many classics are on this album!

Very nice collection of songs - I do tend to skip the most country-ish songs, though. But the rest are wonderful songs by great legends

Woodstock/Our House the Best. Liked the album conceptually more conceptually than in actuality.

Great guitar and great voices but not really my style, i did enjoy it anyways :)

Nice, looking forward to hearing After the Gold Rush

Every track with Neil Young is amazing

this was probably the introduction to folk rock music in my life. My dad used to play this on his turntable when I was a kid and I hated it then, but man do I ever love it today. The harmonies alone are fantastic. It really doesnt even seem like its that long, either. There's plenty there, but I was enjoying it so much that before I knew it, it was done. These guys really made something great.

Great harmonies, great songwriting, just a great album overall. Folk music zenith

Relatively dull '70s Hippie folk rock that doesn't move the needle for me, except for the song "Almost Cut My Hair". This is the first time I have heard this song (and most of the songs on this album), and it absolutely blew me away. This David Crosby led song really changes the entire outlook on this album for me, and brings it up a peg. Really disappointed in the Neil Young led tracks as I figured they would be the most interesting to me Best Song: Almost Cut My Hair Rating: 6.0/10 3 Stars

Just an astounding well composed album with a very silly and pedantic band name.

1- cool harmonies. i love the chord prog. feels like the color brown. ooh, beat switch up. nice. 2- oh, I heard this song in a commercial once. its cute I guess. its not terrible, but not outstanding. 3- this gives off..like, fleetwood mac x late 70s/early 80s rock vibes. 4- this feels so sad 😭 feels like a sad "sweet home alabama". it'd be good for singing as a cover. 5- this gave me dorney park vibes for some reason. it sounds like if thunderhawk had a song. its not bad. 6-the start sounds cool. its like queen x the beatles. the part after the beat switch up feels like cool water. 7- aw, I've heard this before! i didn't know it was by this group. its sweet. reminds me of maggie. 8- ooh, I really like this one. it feels like a dusty attic with sunshine filtering through. 9- I love the instruments in this one. its great. 10-eh. not bad. 6/10

Son typique que je connais de CSN&Y. Je ne sais pas tellement quoi dire de plus : un bon album bien fait mais rien qui m'a jeté par terre. 7/10

Legendary songs, legendary album 🔥

This album is so good. If you didn't know better you'd think it was a greatest hits album.

It's ok, just like that. Zdecydowanie za dużo na tej liście jest niemal bliźniaczych albumów.

It was nice. I didn't hear dog from the cover though. Could be 4.

Excellent

Graham Nash always said that rock and roll can change the world. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Growing up hearing these harmonies in my house, on an old console TV stereo. There have never been four voices come together and mesh as one like CSNY. I needed this album to remember that no matter how hard life can become, you can always feel strength and hope through song. RIP David and Merry Christmas.

Couple of fantastic songs blended with pretentious whiny crap on this one. Never got why Teach Your Children was such a hit, Woodstock is a much more pleasant listen.

Ya en la previa a navidad, toca en el reto esta banda histórica, que creo sólo ubicaba de nombre. Con armonías vocales afiladísimas, es un folk-rock tranquilo, propio de esos años hippies. Las canciones tienen la épica de esa época, con una juventud atravesada por una fuerte idea de transformación social y cultural a gran escala. Gran disco, entre relajado y colgado. Volvemos el jueves y de ahí pausamos hasta febrero, gente. Gracias por otro hermoso año de recomendaciones musicales.

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

Simply a classic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Better than I expected. ‘Helpless’ and ‘Woodstock’ are great songs, “Teach your children” a classic. It’s interesting how the Neil songs are instantly recognizable as his and on the others, where tight harmonies rule, he’s nowhere to be found. Curious a supergroup as there ever was. 3.5

Just so good. Absolute peak ensemble folk rock. Beautiful harmonies and just such a luscious, pastoral, autumn-like tone throughout. An album made for a cozy, chilly day in. This might be the best supergroup album of all time. Even though the word behind-the-scenes was that the egos could barely be contained, the conflict led to one cohesive sounding gem. This is a must listen and belongs on the list. 4.7/5

One of the first things that caught my attention about this album was the cover. It’s unusual to see Dallas Taylor and Greg Reeves receiving second billing, a gesture that, while unexpected, speaks to the collaborative spirit of the record. It feels rare for non-frontline members to get this kind of recognition, especially on such a high-profile release. As for the music, it’s excellent—a soothing blend of folk-rock that feels both timeless and comforting. Each track brings something unique, yet the album flows seamlessly as a cohesive whole. It’s exactly the kind of music I’d reach for on a quiet evening or when I want to unwind. I decided not to pick a standout track this time. It feels almost unfair, given the collaborative nature of the project, to highlight one song and risk sidelining the contributions of the others. Score: 4/5

Very top of the game here, and a stunning collection of beautiful songs and misfit men. God Bless CSNY!

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

when young is added to an already good group it gets better

It's weird. When I first heard this album, what, three or four years ago, I really loved it. Jus', goodness, the harmonies. I'd heard tell of them, and they lived up to every expectation; they were beautiful. I can't even remember anything about it other than that — which, hey, that alone was enough to get me excited to hear this again. So, yeah, it's three or four years later now. Fittingly, I was expecting to have a sense of déjà vu in regards to my reaction. And yet... I don't know. I'll say that, absolutely, this is a great album. These four men are great writers and composers. They play great, and their singing, especially their harmonizing, can be incredible. (And, yes, I don't have a problem with Young's. It's different, but it's fine.) I do believe it deserves the acclaim and accolades it gets. However — and maybe it was because the way I was trying to listen to it (on my back with my eyes closed) didn't really work as well as it did the last time I tried it — I wasn't exactly as wowed by it as I was before? I can't really put my finger on it, or what could've changed since I first heard it... Or if it just caught me on a bad day, who can say? Whatever the case, I kind of found it a little bit tricky to really engage with the album like I wanted to. The best I can figure is that, well, I've heard a lot of new music in the interim. I've especially heard a lot this year, thanks to this Randomizer. With my expanded palette, maybe this album just doesn't sound as special to me as it used to? There were certainly a lot of spots where, despite my praise for their harmonies — and I do still believe it, despite what I'm about to say — I ended up thinking, "These just sound like 70's harmonies. Put on another random record from the decade, I'm sure I'll hear something else like it." I didn't think that often enough to find it a problem, but I think it's still relevant to how I engaged I ended up being. And I'll tell you, I really didn't expect there to be as many rockers as there are. Even if there's only two, it sure goes against my perception that this group only does varities of acoustic folk. Like, goodness, this arrangement of "Woodstock"? And what do you mean this arrangement was originally meant for Jimi Hendrix? And that they actually pull it off? Crazy, man. And here I thought they were just "Carry On" ("Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" without Young). Big points for rocking, I suppose. But on whole... I wanna say, if I thought I would've had the time to write this review tomorrow, I absolutely would have. It's entirely likely that tomorrow I would've been in a better state of mind to focus on and actually talk about this album. And certainly, I'll tell you, if I was asked to rate and review this album all that time ago, I would've given this a 5 straight. However, I can only talk about what I got out of this album today, and today... Eh, it's still a 4. I don't believe it really deserves to go any lower. But, yeah, I'unno. I'm probably gonna look back on this review and regret writing it the way I did, but, hey, that's just how it breaks down sometimes. At least Weird Al's pastiche "Mission Statement" remains one of my top three originals from him. Great stuff if you haven't heard it before, goodness.

Hell of a way to introduce a supergroup, at least. Solid 5 Stars.

I’m at a 4.5 that I’ll bump up to a 5. I don’t have that much to wax poetic about, honestly – this is just really good music, that finds itself right between the crossroads of late 60s folk/Americana & 70s dad rock, and somehow finds a really nice blend of the two that evokes the best of both, with a pretty strong variety of subjects & soundscapes to keep it all a pretty breezy, enjoyable and coherent 37 minutes. A few songs are a little stale at points (namely “Helpless” choosing to reprise most of the track), but it never lingers long enough to cause any issues with the album itself. I guess the main reason I’m at a 4.5 is just because Neil Young’s solo (or at least, what feels like solo) tracks on this album feel really detached from Crosby, Stills & Nash – they’re not bad at all, and they’re a great showcase of his own talent, but they make the album feel just a little disconnected. There’s also a few tracks that feel a little too open lyrically, in a way that leaves them slightly too broad for my tastes. Still though, what’s here is too good to not bump up to a 5; the guitar riffs are on point, the vocal harmonies sound spectacular, and if nothing else, the feelings this album evokes from its instrumentals just have a timeless vibe. I really liked it, and I have zero shame in bumping it up to a 5. Pretty strong pick for my first CSNY album.

liked some songs on this one and reminds me a bit of steely dan.

Some good titles, a bit heavy on the Country side. I still don't like Young's voice.

If vinyl followed the same rules of the automotive industry NHTSA suggestions, I shoulda put on a new set of tread awhile ago... But vinyl I feel, seasons well, little fizzles and crackles, and all. You got country, you got a little blues, you got guitar heroics, and vocal harmony as it's own instrument. I feel it's nearly impossible to refrain from belting out, "We arrreeeeee Starrrrrrdusttt..."

Rating: 7/10 Very good overall, a lot of catchy melodies.

Some all time classics on here Carry on and Joni Mitchell’s Woodstock are stand outs. 4.25/5

I enjoyed parts of this a lot, our house is such a good song. In parts found myself getting bored.

3.5 I mean if they wanted to give the credit where its due, it should be Young & Crosby Stills Nash

I get it, but a bit to much

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

Wel ok 6/10

Woodstock!!1!1!

Pretty good

70’s

Good 70’s rock

Pinnacle of country

Great harmonies from the boys. I really enjoyed this. 4 stars

Really didn't enjoy.

This was pretty good. I already knew one song off of this album and I was surprised to hear other ones that I liked. Wasn’t expecting the different sounding music.

Carry On 3.3 Teach Your Children 3 Almost Cut My Hair 4.3 Helpless 4 Woodstock 3.8 déjà vu 3.4 Our House 3.6 4 + 20 3 Country Girl 3.5 Everybody I Stills Love You 3.6 Score: 3.55

Personal Top 10 album

A classic that holds up well. Most underrated song on the album is clearly Almost Cut My Hair. But if I'm nitpicking, I would definitely have picked 4-Way Street over the studio album.

They really ceded this one to Young and it worked! Nothing really stands out to me but the whole thing is an excellent listen.

Great songs contributed by all four. Too bad they couldn’t stay together (consistently) over a longer period. I think Carry On is very under appreciated. Helpless is another highlight for me, but the whole thing is great.

Awesome album which feels like a playlist given all the different singers. Each member of this supergroup contributes great songs to this album. I wish it were longer and that CSNY were able to make more music together during this time. My favorites are "Almost Cut My Hair", which is exciting each time I hear it and "Helpless", which contains one of Neil Young's strongest melodies in my opinion. Plus the Jerry solo on "Teach Your Children" is always fun!

Quite liked some of the songs, but the style just doesn't really hold up for me as much as some of their contemporaries

Undisputed classic. Teach your children about it

A very member berries 4 but any iteration of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young reminds me of childhood. Holds up

Another album that I listened to a lot as a kid. Everything still holds up to me except the song Almost Cut My Hair which now feels like a song by the sports guy

No nostalgic connection for me, CSN(Y) occupies a sort of background folk rock that comes on adjacent album radios but I would never specifically identify nor seek out. That made it a perfect candidate for a deeper dive and Wikipedia research to understand what I might not be appreciating. It good.

Doesn’t get much better than this classic.

A perfect album. I almost exclusively listened to this album one summer in Ithaca and every time a song plays- it makes me smile.

Best ever

Low effort review as I'm busy today, CSN are generally good, I still prefer Crosby on his lonesome but there's joy here. I know none of these songs but basically everything here is very good. Feel sure would reward repeat listening.

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

this pissed me off

Simply a solid folk rock album that is elevated by Neil Young’s fantastic guitar. Helpless is always a welcomed listen but really the opening 5 tracks are all excellent, the whole group is demonstrating they got harmonies down as well. It’s funny, I always thought Our House was a Beatles or Beatles adjacent track but I was wrong, still don’t really care for it all that much but the sentiment is nice I suppose. 4 stars

Had no expectations for this but loved it! Amazing voices, didn't expect to recognise a few too

Meh. Decent, bit experimental. Good folk vibes. 'Our House' is obviously a killer song, same as 'Helpless'.

A few recognizable hippie tracks on this one
