Deja Vu

Really solid. Great length. Some great tunes. Not quite 5 but somewhere in the 4s.

4.7 - This was just lovely and some absolute bangers. I almost cut my hair has always been a fave.

This is a good 'un. Carry On, obviously. But the rest of the track list is very solid, with different tracks highlighting different members songwriting and vocal chops. Fave Tracks: Carry On, Almost Cut My Hair, Helpless, Our House, Country Girl 4.5/5

No es mi tipo de música, pero tiene unos puntos muy altos, "Country Girl", "Almost cut my hair" y "Our House", "Deja Vu" está bastante buena también. Tal vez deba escucharlo más.

Great.

Not very memorable again.

Didn’t know what to expect going into this album, but I see why it’s a classic. A superpower of rock/folk music geniuses collaborating on a punchy 30-ish minute album. Great lyrics, great beats. Perfect for a Saturday morning or a sunny summer day. Definitely going to be throwing this on again at some point.

Quite liked it.

Great album

Second half slaps

Classics

The best harmonies ever

The soundtrack of my family vacations

soft folk rock, brilliantly written and played. i feel like i've often repeating myself at this rate but there's just something about this period of rock music that is incredibly unheard in the mainstream nowadays. collaborating with neil young only makes it shine more. songs of love, peace, and personal reflection are featured throughout here. the meaningful lyrics paired with one-of-a-kind harmonies... it's just fantastic.

Hep yeah. Was actually just thinking the other day about how good a song Woodstock is

Love their vibe. Would definitely listen again!

Not bad

Good album from a good band! Got a good bunch of songs in 'Carry On', 'Almost Cut My Hair', and particularly 'Our House' which we played at our wedding and holds sentimental value to me. Their vocal harmonies are definitely what makes them stand out as a group, and also coincidentally most present on the tracks that are the best, like 'Our House' for example where it almost makes the entire song. I've read a lot about how this group had troubles getting along, especially with mr. Young who was only part of the group for quite a short while. It's funny how his most noticeable appearance here is on 'Helpless', where it almost feels like he's singing solo. Overall, solid album for sure, but lacks some "better songs" to really punch through. Weak 4 for me.

Last time we had a "Crosby, Stills & Nash" album I thought it was going to be a 4 or 5 star for sure, but I ended up a bit disappointed. This album however really delivered. Of the bat you get a chill songs with harmonies in "Carry on". A few tracks later a surprisingly heavy blues song "Almost cut my hair", the latter part of the song made me think of heavy rock and was probably my favourite part of my whole album. "Our House" was probably the only song I'd heard before and it is a good song although a bit odd. I still don't know why it works but it really does. With its runtime shy of 40 min it is the perfect length for an album for me. Clear 4 stars.

Another easy 5

The times when it shines are amazing. Those harmonies man. But then there’s songs like Almost Cut My Hair, a truly terrible song about being an annoying hippy. Standing up for something? What? Oh something completely immaterial. Shut the fuck up. And then after that Neil Young shits all over it with Helpless. One of the problems with a super group like this is some members SHOULDN’T be given equal footing or in this case writing credit. Stick to your lane. It makes the whole project inconsistent. Blegh

The song Woodstock is the song of the generation. Brilliant writing by Joni and CSNY made it come alive

Just a bunch of high people making some decent music. Overall was ok, but I cannot stand "Our House". It's just the epitome of a boring song.

CSN and Neil young separated for a reason, better off as separate entities.

Straight away, the bridge in Carry On features a tempo change and an eerie organ melody before the guitar solo, super neat. I like Almost Cut My Hair as well, midpaced and groovy with great guitars. The moody title track has another quick-to-slow moment and nice bass parts too. Our House is the biggest hit, it's poignant with its vocal harmonies and I like it quite a bit. The organ returns on Country Girl to great effect. I thought I might find this too folksy, but there's a grandeur to it and enough diversity in the songwriting to keep me engaged.

"Déjà Vu" is the second studio album by Crosby, Stills and Nash and the first with Neil Young. The album was self-produced by the band members and most of the songs were recorded in individual sessions by those band members. The time frame for the members was dark with a death and break-ups with girlfriends. Critically, it had mixed reviews but, commercially, it was a huge success hitting #1 in the US and #5 in the UK and has been the biggest selling album in each member's career. In 2023, the album was selected by the Library of Congress into the National Recording Registry for its artistic significance. Acoustic guitar thumping opens "Carry On." Stephen Stills at the helm and lead vocals. A song broken into two parts. Those familiar harmonies. Part I finishes with the lyrics "Love is coming to us all." Stills gets the wah-wah guitar going in Part II and chases a girl. The second song switches to a Graham Nash song in "Teach Your Children." This has more a country feel with Jerry Garcia on steel pedal guitar. Nash wrote this after seeing a photo of a kid playing with a gun and questions the societal messages that parents are sending their children. Neil Young's vocals come to the forefront in "Helpless." It's slower with a background acoustic guitar and piano. The harmonies really take this song home. Young was inspired, so to say, by having polio as a kid and suffering permanent damage on his left side. One of my favorite Neil Young songs. Joni Mitchell wrote "Woodstock" without ever being there and the band captures the spirit. More harmonies and nice electric guitar. "They got to get back to the garden" A great Young lead guitar solo outro. The album needed a nice, happy song and Graham Nash delivers in "Our House." Simple vocals. The catchy "La-la-la-la" chorus. An ode to counter-culture domestic bliss living. Neil Young combines two Buffalo Springfield songs in the three-part ballad "Country Girl." A melancholy vibe. Some more harmony highlights and actually each band member takes turn on vocals. I have no idea what this song is about; there's a waitress, country girl and celebrity mentioned. There's no doubt denying the high level of very good to great songs on this album. Neil Young seemed to play a major part in the ones I liked. The harmonies and vocals are mostly at the forefront with the instruments in the background. This album is similar to their debut, in that besides the harmonies, this seems like four solo albums. The mood definitely has a darker edge though. Most of these songs have had lots of airplay on classic rock radio in the US and most these songs deserve it. This album sounded really good to me today and will do so for most people too.

It's alright. Feels real flavourless and lacks soul. The only song that really struck me was Helpless, where I finally now understand why people hate Neil Young's singing. Fuck me that song was dreadful. Country Girl was pretty good though, as 'epic' as you'd ever describe a folk rock song. Really not much to say here. Plain ass album. A real meat and potatoes, straight up and down, beef Wellington, "Don't trust the Argies!", dick in the vagina, cheddar cheese, and chicken tikka masala record.

Seeing both the genres tagged for this as well as this lists current run of 'supergroups'. I was dreading that the albums name was going to be an omen for what's to come. I was pleased to find that while there is definitely a consistent throughline in the songs on this album, and you could absolutely manually look through certain songs on the tracklist and find them samey. The way they were presented in their correct order kept me satisfied. Though I can't really say it was something that was particularly entertaining. A lot of songs that were just pretty good. Highlights: Our House, 4+20, Country Girl

What a pleasant, harmonic listen. A bundle of fantastic tracks and a steal at only 36 minutes. Misters Crobsy, Stills and Nash sure can lay it down. Neil Young's voice is like in a live recording of Bob Dylan where he starts blowing a gale into that fucking harmonica and it feels like you've suddenly met the same fate as Lev Trotsky. I genuinely forgot he was involved in this project until "Helpless", where to my displeasure his whiny fucking voice shot straight through my ears. I greatly enjoyed every track on this album where Neil Young was not the lead vocalist.

...I'm stupefied by how uninterested I am by the album 5/10 Fav tracks- our house Least fav - idk man

It is genuinely impressive that the writing credits for this album are so evenly spread between the four members of the supergroup and that the musical style maintains consistency so well. You can clearly tell who is writing what song, and it's not that any of the writers here are better than the others (although I have a soft spot for Crosby), but that their musical styles are different. Even though they all shine on their own, when these guys come together their harmonies are phenomenal. Not just in the sense that their voices work well together, musically these guys blend into something that is more than the sum of its parts. This album gets better and better with each listen and I can't say there are any weak tracks. Highlights: Almost Cut My Hair, Deja Vu, Our House, 4+20, Country Girl

джентльмены собрались и навалили на троечку

As good as it gets for CSNY

Such a great album. Great harmonies. Brings back great memories

Very good

Country rock. It was alright, nothing really stood out to me personally.

OK country album

Classic folk rock.

“Kind” rock, maybe like Creedence Clearwater

AMAZING album. Just great. Almost cut my hair especially is such a banger.

Old classic Glad to got reminded of this album today Some very good tunes

3.25

Classic.

Splendid harmony singing, stellar song writing. This album is a timeless classic.

Everyone should have listened to this album at least 20 times in their lifetime.

Pretty cool

Before I received this album as one to listen to it is always on my own personal favorite album of all time list. It ia a fantastic album from one of the greatest groups of all time.

Nah

Damn.

One of my favorite albums of all time. First time listen was on vinyl during covid zooted alone in my room. Almost Cut My Hair is a spiritual song for me

Can’t go wrong with CSNY. Solid album.

Carry On Teach Your Children Almost Cut My Hair Helpless Woodstock Our House 4 + 20

Some really incredible songs, but there were moments where it felt a little boring.

This is close to peak folk rock... I love this.

Overall: 9/10 This is my first time listening to a full album featuring any of the members of this band and that's honestly kind of embarrassing. I'm glad to start closing this horrific gap in my music listening. In terms of this album, it's a country/folk/rock album that I absolutely adore. The harmonies are shockingly gorgeous and I love that Neil gets to shine the most on this album because he has the most unique voice of the four members. I've seen some people don't enjoy Neil's voice and I'm not sure why I do but he's one of the few whiney singers that isn't grating to the ears. The instrumentation is also diverse enough to keep the album interesting throughout. Can't wait to hear so many more albums from all of these guys. Fav Song: Woodstock Least Fav Song: 4 + 20

Deja Vu…I think I’ve heard this before. Harmony is where it’s at by some of the best.

Country müziğe doydum yeto. Hiç beğenmedim.

Carry on, deja vu

If I were a middle-aged man with long hair blasting this album in my convertible on a highway as the wind licks my receding hairline, I would love it. But I am me and this is not for me. Turns out the only tracks I liked are the ones written by Neil Young. I think they really stand out.

Familiar songs.

Great album, so easy to listen to.

Didn’t love as much as I thought I would

Masterpiece!

I got tired of it as the album went on. I do like some songs, but it all blends together

Tough one for me to rate. Objectively, this might deserve a 5, but I guess the point of the exercise is to give our opinions. While the vocal harmonizing is nice on some songs but overdone on the album in my opinion. Kind of makes the whole thing sound dated to me. I wish they had given more songs to individual singers. Otherwise, it’s a very enjoyable listen and the talent of these guys really shines through.

Buen disco, me gusta mucho la polaridad de las diferentes voces y los coros en cada tema. Por ahí hay algunos temas de relleno.

Fav songs: Deja Vu - absolutely beautiful piece of music. Mind blowingly good stuff.

Opening song bangs (Carry On). Unsurprisingly, the Neil Young parts are the best. The rest is replacement level 60s folk rock.

It's groovy and folksy. I like it

This is a great album that could fit just about anywhere from the 50s through the 80s in about 4 different genres and be a work of art. There are folk, psychedelic, country, and rock elements at play, but they all meld together wonderfully. I was skeptical about this record, but I'm a definite fan now. Notable Tracks: - Teach Your Children - Almost Cut My Hair - "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" vibes - Woodstock - Our House - Country Girl - awesome harmonica riffs near the end 7.5/10

Pleasant enough, but nothing that really stands out as essential

Wait this is actually sick?! Carry On (the beat change is actually nuts) Teach Your Children Helpless (this one is weird in that there are parts I don't like but the harmonies are GROGEOUS) Woodstock Deja Vu !!!!!!!!!! The beginning of this song is just ridiculous and im really upset is slows down. Our House 4 + 20 (jesus this song is sad but gorgeous I almost don't want to add it because of how sad it make me feel ggs) Country Girl Everybody I Love You This album was ridiculous, genuinely enjoyed this front to back. This album embodies everything I enjoy about Creedence Clearwater and I was smiling ear to ear (except for that 1 sad song) GGs boys EXACTLY the type of thing I wanted from this challenge

I actually really liked this

Second half was really good, first half didn't really get me

I feel like I've heard this before.

Never listened to this album, but I knew the first five songs so far. On track 7(our house) and I know this whole record so far. This blows my mind. No wonder CSNY has always been talked about so highly. This is an albums worth of hits. First track I didn’t know was “4+20”. Great song. Now I’m on “country girl”. This one I don’t know either, and the first song where I’m not “wow”. So country girl starts slow and builds to a great song. Great album

Woodstock to the heart, but got love for all Lie and die in the fire, where I learned to ball Our House is the place where I lay my dome On the streets of the San Francisco where my Country Girl roam

Some great songs some mediocre and some just did nothing for me

music for sipping coffee on the porch as the seasons change

Ok

I've heard this album multiple times. Classic rock-and-roll album. Like a lot of CSN&Y (especially with the Y) it's a Frankenstein that shifts pretty dramatically depending on the songwriter. The Graham Nash contributions (Teach Your Children, Our House) don't age that well. They are well written songs but seem pretty cheesy 50 years on. Crosby's contributions are just okay. Young's Helpless is great, but Country Girl is forgettable. Carry On (Stills) still soars and the CSNY version is the best of Joni Mitchell's Woodstock. Comes up just short of 5 stars for me.

Enjoyable but rather hit and miss.

My parents subjected me to CSN&Y too much when I was a kid and I hated it. I realize that technically this is decent songwriting and musicianship, but I just can't. Especially Teach Your Children. Oh lord. No.

Interesting contrasts between the different singers. Impressive when I recognize 6 out of the 10 songs as well-played "hits". The ones that weren't hits were still good. There's a good harmonization, and despite being late 60's this album still feels timeless.

cool

I liked the folky rock vibe

Didn't mind it without loving it. Couple of decent tunes mind.

I hate this album. It's super lame. I mean the whole sound of it is just so cheesy and dated. The musicianship is solid but this genre just does nothing for me. The vocals are mostly lauded but I find them to be so stereotypical for this genre and time period. Not every song needs everyone in the band to sing all at the same time. The saving grace was Neil Young's contributions and the songs where his vocals are (mostly) solo are the best. But even then, the chorus rolls around and we have a sing-along again. CS&N were so much worse without him, so this album has that going for it I guess. There are some excellent guitar parts (mostly thanks to Neil Young) but that's not really enough to keep it from just being uninteresting. I feel like all the boomers that love this album love it purely for nostalgic reasons, and that's valid (for them) I guess - I'm sure there are plenty of records I like just for the nostalgia. But listening to this record 54 years later, it doesn't have anything that would make me ever want to put it on again. 2.25/5 rounding down.

It's pretty remarkable that four guys with such distinctive creative voices were able to function at all, much less as seamlessly as they did in various configurations for much of their career. There's an argument to be made that this album has the best songs Young ("Country Girl"), Nash ("Our House"), Crosby ("Deja Vu") and Joni Mitchell ("Woodstock") ever wrote. Stills is no slouch here either, but he has some pretty incredible songs elsewhere in his oeuvre.

Well written, well sequenced; all their strengths distilled into their most potent. These 4 were combustible combination, but held it together for a great album. One of my favorites.

Like it 3/5

Unfamiliar. Fave song: Our House. Hmm would rate it 2. Other highlights almost cut my hair (I liked the guitar), Last minute of Deju Vu. 4+20 (mellow, nice story). Can see how some people would like this but honestly as a whole not my vibe. I was happy when the last song came on.

Albumi #83, 19.10.2024 Folk rock -ryhmän kakkosalbumi on varsin mukava kokonaisuus. Erityismaininnat kappaleille "Carry On" sekä Stephen Stillsin soolokappaleelle "4 + 20".

Supremely bland. 3/10

Really like this, so many classics. The different songwriter concept has so much benefit to the bands that know how to implement it correctly.

Really enjoyed this, reminded me of a Fleetwood Mac album in some ways so it makes for easy listening. Probably will listen again :)

This was a top 10 in high school. Still love it but doesn’t quite hit the same.

Does exactly what you would expect with our house a shiny piece of pop rock

I'm slightly surprised I've never heard this album before today. Certainly heard many of these songs and I have to say this is already the best CSN(Y) I've heard. But I still find their singing irritating and for that reason have a hard time getting into it.

It's kind of curious that this collection has the first and second album by Crosby Stills & Nash, and nothing else, mainly because these two albums seem somewhat interchangeable. When I started playing this album, in fact, I actually wondered if somehow I'd gotten the same album I'd listened to before, but then realized it was just that there were another bunch of radio hits on this album too (as well as a thankfully much smaller number of largely forgettable harmony-driven tracks). I *do* like it that Neil Young's influence can be heard and felt on this album, as there's definitely more instrumentation to many of the songs (compared to their Young-less debut album). And the radio hits remain both familiar and fun to listen to once again; especially "Teach your children" and "Carry on", but also "Our house" and to some degree "Woodstock". I also enjoyed "Almost cut my hair" as a surprisingly not-CSN-sounding song, and Young's "Helpless" sounds almost better on this album than his own releases. Overall, though, there's not much cohesion to the album, a product it seems of the way each band member recorded and composed on their own.

Quite nice. Not my favorite of theirs (looking at you "almost cut my hair") but still good

Loved it!

This is a truly excellent album. Our House is, obviously, a classic. 4+20 is great too. Well-honed, each song changing things up just a little to keep you on your toes. Atmospheric - would be good with eyes closed and headphones in.

3,5*

Truly wonderful--it's clear why all of these guys are so famous, although kinda hard to believe this was the best selling album any of them ever made.

So all four of these musicians are considered songwriting geniuses and between the four of them, this is all they could come up with? It's not horrible and there are a couple of adequate radio-friendly tracks on here, especially on the second half of the album. But really, I fail to understand the genius of any of the four members individually and have rated them around 3 stars pretty consistently throughout this 1001 album project. Maybe you had to grow up in the 70's to truly appreciate them - but even if I'm simply 30+ years too young for this, there are so much more exciting albums that were released prior to this one. Par for the course, 3 stars for radio filler music between the actually exciting hits that can be found elsewhere.

Almost cut my hair!

know this album well

Ugh, difficult -- it's not bad and there's obviously historical value to it but on the other hand, it's just another badly recorded, garbage sounding, blues dad rock album from the seventies.

It was alright, didn’t blow me away but was decent enough. Not sure I’d listen to it again in a hurry though.

Classic album but I never loved these guys. Always bored me. Listening to this probed to be no different. Bo-ring.

I RECOGNIZED SOME SONGS ON THIS ONE! would i listen to it again?? mehhhhh probably not. am i glad i listened to it?? i think so? overall, i liked it - i love a guitar solo. makes me wanna pick up my own guitar and go absolutely hog wild. daily dad update when i told him i listened to this album - "A classic."

Good vibes, could see myself listening to this album with my Mom (she probably already has the CD)!

There are a few songs I really love (Woodstock, Our House) a few classics that are ok and a bunch of really bland songs that bore me. It’s got it all! I think I just wasn’t mellowed out enough when I was listening to it. I can appreciate that this would sound best around a campfire with some good weed.

It's interestingly folky. I guess

Meh

So so good.

Ridiculously good — every song.

Lots of hits, excellent tight harmonies, and a more eclectic mix of songs than what I would have expected.

Still pretty good

Classic folk-rock album of the hippie generation. Not everything aged great

Dull

In a nutshell: existential folk rock. It's a lament of the free life, of hippiedom. Probably the best harmonies you'll hear on an early 1970s album. This should be your first port of call for learning about David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young. Start here, then branch out. Overall: 7/10

Peak CSN&Y which is good enough for me.

This is a great sounding album and the title track is timeless. There's a warmth and complexity to CSNY that is missing from a lot of music. Helpless is so clearly Young doing what he does best. Not everything on this one is equally good but you can see why these four were a huge influence, especially Young who is clearly the standout.

This album feels like the production/mixing level is a grand canyon apart from a lot of other albums on this list especially modern overcompressed stuff. Even if a song or two didn't hit me right away I was listening because the mixing is so good. I think Helpless is my favorite track. This album makes me want to understand why it sounds so good. Even if you don't like the music it should make you wonder why so many albums even on this list don't sound this good.

Deja Vu - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (1970) Hippie country A obra conta com duas coisas que não contam com a minha simpatia, que é a sonoridade country com uma temática hippie nas músicas, mas mesmo assim as músicas são legais, e o álbum bem curto e direto, então é uma audição tranquila. P.s. o Neil Young é canadense. Melhores músicas: N/A Piores músicas: N/A 2.5/5

This is really really good - a rare ‘supergroup’ album where the artists really get each other and bring out the best in each other. Maybe not necessarily any of their strongest records (particularly for Young who has so many classics under his belt) but the songwriting, pacing and harmonies here all just work so well

Peak hillbilly/stoner/hippy jams plus a song from the office.

A really nice album! Very chill, loved the vibes 4 ⭐️

It felt like a very odd inbetween more 60s chill pop and the first beginnings of rock. A pleasant listen!

Very chill and an enjoyable listen

Did not leave a lasting impression. Pretty, but nothing special for my ears.

meh

Great album! Really liked the chill vibes of each song.

They definitely have their signature sound. Solid album, more of the same as their other stuff I've heard. Sounds good but the harmonies get a bit tiring after a while.

Legal

Här blir man bjuden på det mesta. Mjuk akustisk folk, twangig country och elektrical rock music. Kanske lätt blir så pass spretigt när ett band består av fyra artister som alla skriver sina egna låtar. Mina åsikter om låtarna korresponderar därför ganska väl med mina åsikter om respektive genre. Men, alla låtar håller en väldigt hög nivå. Ibland lite slätstruket. Gillar inte stämsången som tyvärr var så populär vid den här tiden. Utan den hade 'Teach Your Children' kunnat vara så mycket bättre. Proggiga 'Almost Cut My Hair' och mystiska 'Déjà Vu' sticker ut mest. Båda pennade av David Crosby, som jag då kanske borde utforska mer. 'Our House' såklart också fantastisk. Neil Youngs 'Country Girl' maffig. Bästa låt: Almost Cut My Hair

Favourites: Woodstock, Deja Vu, Our House, Country Girl

Not bad, but the album wasn't really my style. A bit too slow for my liking.

I’m always leery of albums of “musical suites” from bands with multiple but often disparate songwriters. When done well, they can be great (thinking of you, White Album!). The ebbs and flows of mixing different creative snippets together can indeed produce exquisite masterpieces. But just as often it can deteriorate into a mashup of creative ideas that never gel really. It’s that tension that I like when it works; various ideas coming together to create something transcendent and impossible without such collaboration. Unfortunately… just as often there’s less collaboration and more throwing a bunch of separate creative snippets together in a hodgepodge, while the creative members can barely tolerate speaking to each other much less creating inspiring music together. Thankfully, despite ALL the vitriol and infighting going on amongst CSN&Y during the 800+ hours (WTF?! 😱) of recorded material for this album, often with bandmates recording separately because they pretty much hated each other at this point, we get a masterpiece from them. For me, the album started off OK with “Carry On”, but it hits its stride regarding sequencing from “Helpless through to “Our House”. There’s so much to love, from the songwriting, the harmonies (the harmonies! 🥰), to the musicianship. Actually, I think I prefer their cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” to her original, which is saying something. So why not a “perfect” five? Well, while I appreciate the end of the album, especially Neil’s “Country Girl/Whiskey Boot Hill”, it loses a little steam for me. Just a little 😜. I do think I prefer this album over their previous, by just a touch

There's some explosive elements of creativity that these guys tapped into which make these songs uniquely powerful. For a team of 4 to be so lit up and capable of synchronicity like these songs show is above typical human abilities. I'd give 5 stars but only 4 because the charge doesn't fully hit in every song

Both ups and downs. Helpless is a classic.

great album! funny listening to our house now that i know it was written about joni mitchell

Didn’t get all the way through it but have listened to it many times before - awesome album, huge diversity in music but all great performances

Some of the greatest harmonies ever put on record

What a familiar sound, even though I had not really listened to a lot of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young so far. Has this 70s feel (obviously) which I absolutely adore. The vocals in some songs were a highlight for me - layered vocals are a soft spot of mine. Some songs reminded me of super early Queen a bit, Queen I and Queen II, two of my favourite albums of all time. Others gave Simon and Garfunkel vibes, while some others had this distinctive Beatles sound. Overall, I knew since the very first song that this album was going to be a solid 5/5. Marvellous.

good album, pretty relaxing

I get the sense these guys would play well together particularly live. Greta musicianship, but the whole album seems rather complacent about their status as a 'counterculture band'.

3.5

A classic but a little softer than what I typically want to listen to

A classic - surely everyone loves CSN&Y

At a time when rock bands seemed to name themselves like law firms, CSN added a new partner in Neil Young. His arrival brought another dimension to the band’s already stellar songwriting and live performances, though it came with Young's famed unpredictability and headstrong attitude. Having already watched Young dismantle Buffalo Springfield, Stephen Stills should have known better—but Young’s musical chops clearly outweighed the risks. Given the towering egos, volatile relationships, and an infamously scattered recording process, it’s a miracle Déjà Vu was recorded at all—and even more remarkable how accomplished it sounds. The album flows seamlessly, with songwriting and singing duties shared almost equally (Stills x3, Crosby x2, Nash x2, Young x2, plus one cover). Stills brought technical precision and rock sensibilities, Crosby offered dreamy, freeform experimentation, Nash delivered polished, melodic pop, and Young added raw emotion and introspective grit. Together, they pushed each other to raise their game, allowing every member’s strengths to shine. Déjà Vu contains some of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's most accomplished and memorable songs as a band and as individuals—no small feat, given the stellar careers each of them had. Did/Do I own this release? No, but I should Does this release belong on the list? Yes Would this release make my personal list? Yes Will I be listening to it again? Yes

I'm about one tenth of the way through this list, and the sheer volume of folk and folk tinged albums is almost embarrassing. Other forms of music exist! That being said, the track "Helpless" by Neil Young is good. It's no wonder Young has managed a career spanning decades while the others remain relics.

One of my favorite albums of all time. I love the harmonies, I love the songwriting, I love the songs on here.

Classic album, great songs and vocals

Album #1 Was expecting this to be more acoustic but there was a lot of electric guitar. Was a bit more accessible for me than other folk type stuff I’ve tried to listen to before but generally very well written songs and good musically too. Good first album to get as it wasn’t too long and very easy to enjoy.

Really enjoyed this, would be great on vinyl.

Liked this a surprising amount

I actually like this, even though not my favorite genre or era. There's tones of blues, country, and classic 70's rock (which, if we're honest is just blues and country mixed with weed and hippie hair).

Always love Neil Young. Helpless is great along with many other tracks on this album.

OUR HOUSE, IS A VERY VERY VERY FINE HOUSE🗣️🗣️🗣️

Pleasant

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young hit just right every now and then. This was every now and then.

Solid folk rock, some proto jam stuff going on. All in a tight sub 40 minute package. Ideal.

4.6 One of the best folk rock albums of the 70s. Love how their voices harmonize together.

Pleasant folk music, with lovely harmonies. The Nash songs were the best and kind of overpowered the rest. Stand-out: Teach Your Children

Until today I hadn't listened to a whole CSNY album but somehow knew what it would sound like and well, it did! There's nothing offensive about it, folk/country/soft rock with vocal harmonies and late 60s hippie vibes. By track 4 or 5 you'll understand why the album is titled as it is... by track 8 it could have been track 2 again and I'd have been none the wiser.

This was painful.

All I can say is this album is a master class in "Harmonies!!!" So good. If your into harmonies an musicianship, this your bag. Enjoy and say thank you.

It’s been over a month since my last Neil Young related album; I was getting worried. This has been my favorite so far — only 36 minutes long! Four stars for the run time, five stars for David Crosby’s hat, two star for the ones who aren’t Crosby and Young, minus 19 stars for that song about teaching children well.

There are parts of this that are incredible, but it's all weighed down in this hippie-era slop of pretension and ego. Still, it's undeniable that there are some incredible songs on here.

A fantastic moment in time. Every song is a piece of art.

Naming the “band” after each individual member belies how well these guys harmonize. Very few, if any, did it better.

Exactly what we should get from a supergroup: brilliant lyrics, harmony, and playing.

Going with 4*, but I don't see myself going back to listen to it, oddly. Still, undeniably good stuff.

Unexpectedly and surprisingly enjoyable.

Decent songs and good harmonies as you'd expect. It was however, an extremely slow and depressing sound for me.

This was one of those albums that I thought I would know a few songs from going in, and it turned out I knew basically every song on the album. It turns out I unknowingly grew up on this album, as my family plays songs from it constantly. It’s just a delight to listen through. The harmonies are immediately identifiable and unique to this band. The overall sound is folky, but still has a rock edge to it at times (especially the guitar parts). Just a great record

Classic album. Every song is good and most are better. Even Our House, which I've always felt was too saccharine, was a major hit. It speaks to the variety on this album. It points the way from 60's folk rock to more complex and edgier (thanks to Neil) rock of the 70's. Several songs like the title track are really interesting with the changes they manage in a 4 minute song like mini movements. The variety of the album could make it seem a bit disjointed to some; the Young tracks particularly stick out. Despite the love focused themes of most of the songs, you can still hear the countercultural metaphors imbedded. Its a fantastic, enjoyable, mostly timeless album.

11 stars out of 5. One of the greats.

Not my cup of tea 1

Well put together but didn't really stand out to me.

Great Album.

This is a grower not a show'er. Love the guitar and harmony work on Carry on. Good tunes - Carry on, almost cut my hair, helpless, deju vu, our house, 4+20, country girl and everybody i love you. This is a good listen. I wouldnt class it up there with my greatest of all time but its a really good album. I think a 4.5 would be ideal. This has been better than most 4's ive given.

For a CSNY album, this is banger after banger. Terrible cover, though. Sheesh. Unless it's modeled after a famous photo, in which case - well done!

You can feel the hippie dream curdling into self-indulgence in real time on this patchouli-powered behemoth. It's still a fine time capsule. 'Carry On' is right up there, the harmonies ate sensational; 'Helpless' points towards After the Goldrush; 'Almost Cut My Hair' to this day sounds cracking. On the downside, of all the versions of 'Woodstock' I've heard, this rather peppy version might be the worst. And, whilst 'Our House' is strong in melody, the sentiment verges on slushy. Also, "two cats in the yard" feels like a slightly peculiar lyric, for some reason. Nonetheless, I liked this very much.

All sounds the same

There's a bit of filler, but the sheer amount of great tracks this record has more than makes up for that. Fantastic song-writing and superstar talent make this an excellent album.

A total classic. Young Neil’s Helpless. Our House and Deja Vu are all astounding. There’s a song about a little thing that’d just happened the year before called Woodstock. The harmonies, as always, are impeccable. If an epic like Judy Blue Eyes had been on this, it’d be even more of a monument than it is. That said CSN seem very separate from Y on this. It’s like two bands stuffed onto one album. A friend left this record at my house like a decade ago and never came back for it. Considering I’ve only spun it once since then, I feel that shows my level of connection to it. As I said, a total classic, but its not quite my vibe, so three stars due to personal taste. Neil would go on to greater things, and CSN have better showings as well. Sixth album reviewed here.

I didn’t find anything bad on this but it also came across as pretty forgettable. Two songs I loved but everything else was just there. 2.5/5

Too many memorable songs not to be 5 stars or A- for me.

I found Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young's *Deja Vu* to be more enjoyable than I expected. While most songs landed around a middle-of-the-road 3 rating for me, there were a few standout tracks that I would rate a 4 or 4.5.

An iconic album for all time

A bit mellow but there are some classics on there

Incredible! More than half of the album could be considered a greatest hits for them.

Corny, Stale, Naff, and Yawn

Always been sort of indifferent to them but this was good

Déjà Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is a stunning album that beautifully showcases their signature harmonies. The album exudes warmth and tenderness, creating a deeply immersive listening experience. Each track is infused with a rich, melodic quality that highlights the intricate vocal arrangements of the band. The lyrics explore themes of love, introspection, and social change, adding emotional depth to the music. The seamless blend of folk and rock elements offers a timeless quality that resonates throughout. Overall, Déjà Vu is a powerful testament to the band's ability to craft emotionally resonant and sonically rich music. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 8 STAND OUT TRACK - Helpless

Folk rock was in its heyday and this album was one of the best of the era.

Excellent album start to finish

This one was a pretty good magic trick... "Guys, your first record was wildly successful and featured the most incrdible vocal harmonies of the whole hippy era. What are you going to do next? We are going to add Neil Young's voice to the mix, and not even thay is going to be enough to screw this formula up." ...and it wasnt, the harmonies were still good and Young upgraded some of the songwriting.

Nice one.

很棒

What a load of shit

Wow! This dog is cute. While listening I was looking for a word to describe this album and heard "cosy". I'll go with it, it's cosy. I don't want to sing along or dance to it, I just want to listen The average commentator for it is ~70yo, if you're interested. I feel old for not hating it

meh. 3rd song is decent and had it in one of my playlists already but rest is a snoozer

Solid album with some good songs. Not a huge fan, but definitely worth listening.

I enjoyed this album so much. There is something in the melodies - it is a mix of joy, relaxation, and emotion. I love the instruments used. It was a good time!

So so

Just one of the best. You have to be a fan of the style and harmonization but it's so good if you are. Deserving of 5 stars. 9/10 (4.5/5)

Only a single memorable hook on the whole album. Seems like they’re too preoccupied with the harmonies to actually write interesting melody.

Chill 70’s vibes

did not find it super engaging, but there are some highlights for sure. Our House is so beautiful, can't believe those people calling it cheesy and shallow! I think a 3.5 overall

Excellent. Listened three times in a row Update. And it’s growing on me. Listened 4 more times

One of my favorite vinyl in my collection

Pretty great album for sure. Strong combinations of folk, rock, blues, and even a bit of psychedelic music too. Instrumentation was lively and the vocal chemistry between each member was extremely strong too with several strong harmonies. Not sure if I’m really rushing back to the album as a whole at this point in time though. There’s not really a flaw I could name but idk it’s just not resonating a to with me atm. Time will tell on that front. Still great though.

First time listening to a CSN(+Y) album. So far I've given a 5 to Crosby, a 3 to Stills, and a 2 to Young+Crazy Horse, whose upper-register singing voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Nash remains an enigma, but I get the feeling he's a little too twee and whimsical for my liking, like McCartney's bad days. This album has done nothing to change my beliefs, although I think given enough time I can build a compilation I enjoy. S: Almost Cut My Hair A: Country Girl B: Deja Vu, 4+20 C: Carry On, Woodstock, Everybody I Love You D: Helpless, Our House F: Teach Your Children

I’m never quite sure what to do with albums like this, because yes, I get it was era-defining and incredibly popular, but I’ve always felt disconnected from the Hippie movement, especially when it’s done as earnestly as is from CS&N. I’m not counting Young, because I totally get his appeal. I enjoyed a fair few of the songs, especially Neil Young’s, but there’s always this aspect, this idealism, that I can’t get past. I think it’s best summed up by Our House, which I think is fine as a tune, but as a message, it’s completely antithetical to anything I’ve ever known. The world has so thoroughly changed since 1970 that the idea of being in the future, looking back, and being able to say ‘well it was hard, but we’re doing OK now’ is something I’m certain I’ll never be able to do. I don’t begrudge the album that. But it’s still a barrier to enjoyment that I can’t overlook

These little groups are normally lovely. These guys were just winey af. Bet they were a nightmare to record with

Shockingly good. First album I had on my first MP3 player, have not come back for a full relisten in a while, and it’s better than I remember.

Fantastic album that still reveals the optimistic side of the 60s and hope for a better future, before the cynicism of the 70s set in. Intelligent lyrics, harmony, and some nice electric flourishes throughout. The biggest problem on the album is the jarring movement from the opening song, Carry On, to the second track, which is full on country. In fact, the album does have a little bit of unevenness that way, but the highs are so high. It’s still rounds up to a five star rating.

Side one is perfect. Unskippable. Side two is only great in comparison. I get why some people would find it dated but I think this is the strongest CS&N were with Young only getting better.

I can’t believe how many classics are on this album. The addition of Neil young gave CSN the edge they needed (for my taste). Just When they are at their most hippie (teach your children) they follow it up w a soulful rocker like almost cut my hair. Woodstock and helpless are my favorites, but this has more classics per album than almost any other american album of this genre

Very laid back album of great backing music, and not so great singing.

That was okay...

The vocal harmonies are first rate, there’s a fantastic blend of borderline country, blues and acoustic psychedelia that really hit the right notes for me. The vocal harmonies are first rate, there’s a fantastic blend of borderline country, blues and acoustic psychedelia that really hit the right notes for me. Worth listening to again and again.

Old garage band music from back in the day when rock and roll was still fresh. The soul and R &B covers were certainly not as good as the originals (don’t try to one up Little Richard), but it was pretty enjoyable.

This was a pleasant surprise. Solid tunes here

Nice. solid album

Great album! Nearly a perfect encapsulation of that era and sound. 4.5/5

Would probably have rated higher if I hadn't had like 5 Neil young albums recently!

An enjoyable album but not one that I would listen to again in a hurry.

Not my style but chill

Beard guys rule

36mins, but felt like 136

cracker music 2/10

Pretty tight. Would have got a five if it had had Ohio like I thought it did. I like stills guitar work, and neils, the harmonies are crystalline, and a pretty common observation but neils are the best songs. Like the garcia pedal steel on teach your children. Dig the CSN songs too but to a lesser degree. very much products of their time, while neil manages to make even Kent state timeless around the same time frame.

One of the only albums I've immediately hit replay on.

Tää on aika selkee peruspilari folkin ja folkkirokin osalta. Solid! 4/5

Varsin hyvää hippifolkia.

Favorite Track: Woodstock

Wow, what a great Album with so many different tracks…9/10

Ein herausragendes Album, das die Essenz der 70er Jahre perfekt einfängt. Mit einer Mischung aus solidem Rock, Hippie-Vibes und Country-Einflüssen bietet das Album eine unverfälschte und schnörkellose Musikalität, die sowohl nostalgisch als auch zeitlos wirkt. Die Band zeigt auf diesem Album ihre Fähigkeit, harmonische Melodien und tiefgründige Texte zu kombinieren. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die Tracks “Our House”, “Country Girl”, “4 + 20” und “Almost Cut My Hair”. Diese Lieder spiegeln die Vielfalt und das Talent der Band wider und sind ein Beweis für ihre musikalische Vielseitigkeit. “Our House” ist ein warmherziger und eingängiger Song, der das Gefühl von Zuhause und Geborgenheit vermittelt. “Country Girl” beeindruckt durch seine komplexe Struktur und emotionale Tiefe. “4 + 20” ist ein introspektiver und ruhiger Track, der durch seine Einfachheit besticht. “Almost Cut My Hair” hingegen ist ein kraftvoller und rebellischer Song, der die Freiheit und das Lebensgefühl der 70er Jahre perfekt einfängt. Insgesamt ist Déjà Vu ein konzeptionell starkes Album, das durch seine klare und authentische Musikalität besticht

Has some lovely classic tracks. A great sunny day album

On est en 1970. Les sixties sont officiellement terminées, la gueule de bois post-Woodstock commence à bien taper sur les tempes et le "Peace and Love" se fait de plus en plus discret face à la guerre du Vietnam qui n'en finit pas. C'est dans ce contexte un peu vaseux que débarque le deuxième album de la clique Crosby, Stills & Nash, augmentée pour l'occasion d'un quatrième larron, et pas des moindres : le Canadien grimaçant, Neil Young. Le concept même de "supergroupe" a de quoi faire frémir. C'est souvent la pire fausse bonne idée de l'histoire du rock. Tu prends des mecs qui sont déjà des demi-dieux dans leurs formations respectives, tu les fous dans la même pièce et tu attends que la magie opère. En général, ce qui opère, c'est surtout un concours de celui qui aura la plus grosse et une bouillie musicale où personne ne veut laisser un peu de place à l'autre. Et pourtant... Cet album est un miracle accouché dans la douleur, la drogue et les larmes. Pour le mettre en boîte, il aura fallu, selon la légende, plus de 800 heures de studio. Huit. Cents. Heures. De quoi enregistrer toute la discographie de Guided By Voices, faces B comprises. Il faut imaginer le tableau : David Crosby est en plein deuil, sa copine venant de se tuer en voiture, et il noie son chagrin dans des quantités industrielles d'héroïne. Les autres ne sont pas en reste, la coke et l'alcool animent joyeusement les sessions, les engueulades fusent, et Neil Young, fidèle à sa réputation d'électron libre, n'est là que la moitié du temps. Au milieu de ce merdier, le pauvre Graham Nash joue les Casques Bleus de l'ONU, essayant de maintenir une cohésion qui n'existe déjà plus. Ce contexte, c'est la clé pour comprendre l'album. "Déjà Vu" n'est pas l'oeuvre d'un groupe soudé. C'est une compilation de luxe, une playlist de quatre génies qui se tolèrent à peine mais qui, chacun dans son coin, est au sommet de son art. C'est ce qui fait à la fois sa force et sa faiblesse. La force, c'est l'incroyable diversité et la qualité hallucinante des compositions. Chaque membre tire le drap à soi, et on a le droit à tout : Graham Nash nous livre des ballades pop parfaites, solaires et imparables comme "Our House" ou l'hymne au barbecue "Teach Your Children", avec son pedal-steel qui te donne envie de mâcher un brin de paille en regardant le soleil se coucher sur le Grand Canyon, même si t'habites à dans un trou paumé à l'autre bout de la planète. Stephen Stills, le rockeur de la bande, ouvre le bal avec le monumental "Carry On", une suite en plusieurs mouvements qui est une démonstration de force, un morceau épique qui justifie à lui seul le concept de supergroupe. David Crosby, le hippie tourmenté, nous offre des titres plus sombres, plus paranoïaques, comme "Almost Cut My Hair", véritable cri du coeur d'une génération qui sent le vent tourner, ou le sublime et vaporeux ""Déjà Vu"". Et puis il y a Neil Young. Le Loner ne fait pas du CSN, il fait du Neil Young. "Helpless" est une complainte magnifique, fragile, avec cette voix nasillarde qui te transperce l'âme, une chanson qui semble flotter au-dessus du reste de l'album, comme si son auteur était déjà ailleurs. Le jeu est d'une précision chirurgicale, les harmonies vocales sont à tomber par terre, ça suinte le talent par tous les pores. Chaque note est à sa place, chaque arrangement est pensé, poli, magnifié. On sent les 800 heures de labeur. C'est luxuriant, c'est riche, c'est le son de Laurel Canyon porté à son paroxysme. Un son qui a défini le rock californien pour la décennie à venir. Alors pourquoi seulement 4/5 ? Parce que justement, ce n'est pas un groupe. C'est une collection de chefs-d'oeuvre individuels. L'album manque de liant, de cette alchimie unique qui fait qu'un tout est supérieur à la somme de ses parties. On passe du coq à l'âne, de la ballade la plus tendre au rock le plus brut, sans véritable transition. C'est un glorieux bordel, un patchwork magnifique mais qui trahit les fissures béantes au sein du quatuor. On écoute quatre albums solo condensés en un seul. C'est ce qui l'empêche, à mon humble avis, de s'asseoir à la table des plus grands monolithes de l'histoire. Mais qu'on ne s'y trompe pas. "Déjà Vu" est un album essentiel. Un disque qui capture l'instant précis où le rêve hippie s'est cogné au mur de la réalité. C'est un disque de transition, schizophrène, qui porte en lui à la fois l'insouciance des sixties finissantes et l'amertume des seventies naissantes. Un album qu'il faut écouter et réécouter, pour en saisir toutes les nuances, toutes les tensions, toute la beauté chaotique. Il a beau être le fruit d'egos en collision, le résultat est d'une splendeur qui force le respect. Un gros 4/5, donc. Pour les chansons immortelles, pour les harmonies divines et pour le simple fait d'avoir réussi à transformer une poudrière en disque de platine.

Standouts: Teach Your Children, Woodstock, Our House, 4 + 20, Country Girl Lyrics/Vocals: 4/5 (I don't like Neil Young's voice) Instrumental: 4/5- Very relaxed folk Vibes: 4/5- A chill album with lyrics that echo the late 60s-early 70s Overall: 4/5

To quote my father (a serious CSNY fan) “they just don’t make music like this any more.” This is a rare moment in which I agree with him. This album is perfect.

3.9

This was a short but good album, cozy, good feelings, until they hit me with the song 4+20, that made me go back and listen to it again, after that some of the songs had a feeling of melancholy. liked all the songs, would listen to it again.

Very surprised. Not much to folk music, but this was pretty decent

Classic, but I think I should have been alive at the time to really enjoy it.

Really good album. Some fantastic songs.

So good

Great album

Not bad, nothing stood out.

7/10

What a closer for the 60’s! With sounds reminiscent of the likes of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and even some Jimi Hendrix, this album works wonders at taking the best of the decade and adding its own creative touch. The rock elements aren’t too hard on the ear and the folk brings a simple yet elegant feel that permeates through the record. Songs like Woodstock and Our House will have you bobbing your head while Helpless and Country girl give a very introspective touch. Also, it can’t go without mentioning the beautiful harmonies on many of these tracks. No matter the person behind it, each song has terrific harmonies that accompany its tune. There is such a nostalgic feeling here that brings me from classic rock tunes to solemn, acoustic melodies. The title track does not hit super hard for me and the lyrics can be quite sappy or cliche at times, but this is definitely an album I’d return to.

Nice album with great musicians.

This album is five stars, their rendition of Joni’s Woodstock is so fun!

Another of those albums that is supposed to be important, but I couldn't get into it. Varied too much. Country Girl is particularly egregious. Second listen at Johnny's behest: -Carry On - pretty good -Teach your Children - classic, one of the best on the album -Almost Cut My Hair - I can see this growing on me -Helpless - I can go either way on Young - his vocals were both delicate and beseeching on this one -Woodstock - not bad, good guitar throughout -Deja Vu - just when I thought it wasn't going anywhere, it ended. I feel like this is a song that I don't like now, but it could grow to be a favorite. -Our House - listening to the lyrics, I now love the song -4+20 - not much going on -Country Girl - what is this mess??! (Maybe this could grow on me? It came together at the end with the harmonica) -Everybody I Love You - awful and indulgent So: verdict is changed, due to Johnny's praises!

Dang, I forgot how bad almost cut my hair is and how amazing Helpless is. Neil young was 25 on this album 🤣 amazing

Top to bottom, a great album.

Wonderful album from front to back. Not a dud in the bunch. Harmonies are amazing. Rockers are good and the ballads are just as good.

Best album of all time period

Really enjoyed this.

They are definitely more than the sum of their parts. Great songwriting, excellent production, and masterful harmonizing.

Excellent album.

Really don't like Neil Young's voice

Classic easy listening!

Classic...in the best sense of the word.

not bad, can come back later nice melodies, harmony

Had some good ones, teach your children, our house, maybe other gems if I listen more

Seriously? Another Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album? Or is that another Crosby, Stills and Nash album? I don't really care. I get how they were very influential and obviously a bit of a supergroup. But... They're not really that different to warrant having more than one entry here.

5 star folk rock Favorite track: Carry on other picks: Dejavu, Woodstock, Country Girl, Almost cut my hair

Guys were just hanging out and harmonizing back in the day. This album was fine, it's Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young who I've listened to before (though not just one album straight through), so there weren't any big surprises. My favorite song was "Woodstock" which was the only one on the album not written by one of CSNY lol

Notey Marimba!

The transition between the 60’s and 70’s distilled into 36 minutes of well-crafted music. Clear to see why this was so massive at the time, drawing on anti-establishment sentiment and political dissatisfaction at a time when the old was starting to fragment and a new beginning was being formed. Will listen to again. Didn’t realise this was the source of ‘our house’ - whodathunkit.

Absolutely love this album. For me this is definitely the best ‘super-group’ album ever. I don’t really recall why/where I first listened, but I remember being immediately blown away by the harmonies. And there can’t be many bands to match that aspect. But generally it’s just 4 song writers at their peak, and every song is a winner (Woodstock and Country Girl absolute highlights, albeit Our House is possibly a bit saccharine for me). Yeah it can feel a bit uncoordinated, as the Neil Young led numbers do seem a bit at odds to the others. But the CSN harmonies applied to Young’s songs really lift them and vice versa there’s some ripping Young guitar work/solos on some of the CSN led ones. But I think that’s the benefit, the addition of Young to CSN breaks up a harmony led folk rock that struggles to carry an album on its own (or at least not to score it a 5). So even though it’s actually quite a dark album, it just always lifts me whenever I listen to it. Perfect for a summers day drive (well, for me it is).

Well well well, oh to be in Laurel Canyon in 69. I am a big fan of CSN and Y and what a carry on. Some of it sounds a little twee but the highs outweigh any of that. I would listen to Neil Young all day long if I could and Crosby is a true nutter. Put it on sunny day and zone out....

This album unfortunately doesn’t appeal to me as much as I feel like it should. I love Neil Young and respect the hell out of him, but Déjà Vu sort of pales to CSN’s 1969 debut without Young. I think the live 4 Way Street with Young is the best that the group has, but that also features a lot of Young’s solo stuff performed live. It really surprises me that Déjà Vu is the best-selling album of any of the members’ careers, but I suppose I can be glad for that because it furthered Young’s career in particular and allowed him to record and release some of his best music later in the 70s and beyond.

Steady

A classic. Gotta give them their credit. Vocally top notch and songwriting on this is great. Not my first go to sound wise but some songs I can see myself going back to

EXTREMELY good album. Sounds immaculate. Not much to say. Their voices, blended, sound pulled from the beginning of time, as if they’ve always been there. Intoxicating harmonies and group lock. Incredible songs. Neil Young is so precious, you just want to give him a big hug. One of the greatest! 5/5

Lovely and inspired. Young's compositions especially stand out, but Nash's "Teach Your Children" has always been dearest to me. The Laurel-Canyon-folk songs hold up better than the rock-forward ones. Highlights: Teach Your Children, Helpless, Woodstock, Our House, 4 + 20

It was pretty interesting by song 5 they had a slower song that picked up and they also had a lot of guitar solos

very good, liked it a lot.

Fucking solid album!! Teach Your Children, Helpless, Woodstock.... So many good songs! I love what Neil Young brought to Crosby, Stills & Nash. That distinct guitar work and that voice.... Phenomenal! Favourite songs: Woodstock, Helpless, Teach Your Children, Almost Cut My Hair, Everybody I Love You Least favourite songs: Deja Vu 4/5

-FUCK YEA ELECTRIC GUITAR IN EARLY 70S FOLK ROCK -The vocal harmonies and stuff are really cool, and it has a bit more of an energetic feel to it while also having some nice slow songs -Favorites are Carry On, Woodstock, and 4 + 20

It's perfectly okay. I think I had really high expectations for this album, and they didn't match them.

7/10 Yeah, warm nostalgia and some very good music. 6-20-2024

Couple great songs on here (Our House, Almost Cut My Hair) but on the whole a bit meandering for me.

Great album. I like the Neil Young songs the best

So men having long hair was " letting your freak flag fly" in 1970? LOL. If they only knew. .

Yes

Because of Our House, I'm bumping this album to 3 stars. That song deserves a star of it's own.

Dudes all so good you gotta name em all right?

It's called Deja Vu because it sounds like every other country/folk/rock/blues mashup album released at around the same time. OK in places.
