Reviews (page 11 of 13)
Hard to listen to since not on Spotify. Really like round & round, and down by the river. Cool experimental songwriter/stroyteller feeling
Plusieurs albums plus tard, Neil Young retente l'aventure avec ses Crazy Horses, encore une fois totalement fous et incontrôlables. Il essaiera de les dompter tant bien que mal, sans réussite.
C'est très mauvais, alors que Neil Young avait réussi à nous convaincre sur certains opus précédents, il est ici complétement enfermé dans son rôle d'antivax, criant à qui veut l'entendre que l'état cherche à nous introduire des pcues pour la 5G sous la peau.
What a storyteller. Great guitar work. The production could be better. Neil Young voice is sometimes blurry. 3 stars
Not bad, the standout to me is Cinnamon Girl.
cinnamon girl 😍😍😍
M'ha agradat bastant, la música és molt relaxada i "chill". Trobo que l'última cançó és una gran manera d'acabar un àlbum que és, en general, tan calmant i tranquil. La manera que té de mantenir-se sempre en un to molt consistent i alhora aconseguir que cada cançó destaqui i sigui diferent de la resta és una cosa que té molt mèrit. De totes maneres, no és un estil que a mi m'encanti i, tot i que aprecio la qualitat de la música, no l'he gaudit tant com pensava precisament per això.
Pretty good. Some of Young's classic solo tunes are on this album. Not the biggest fan of him, but I do enjoy his music at times. Really like the guitar work throughout. 3.5/5 May listen again
Iha jees! Parempi, ku odotin.
Favorite song: Cinnamon Girl Least favorite: Running Dry One word: rustic
Couldn't find it
idk, i like neil young, i feel i should like this one more than i actually do. very distinct sounding for 1969, but the vocals are shaky and production ramshackle even for neil young.
3/5. I always think of my dad when I hear Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Their live album rattling through our house.
Some real highs. Not lows as such, but definitely some points need you to be in the mood for them. Turns almost prog-folk at times with long instrumentals. 3*
some good some ppor
Tough to find anything notable here. Cinnamon girl is an OK single, the long tracks are good but leave a bit of meat on the bone. I own this record and it's a fine piece
Cowgirl and Down by The River are the real MVPs. The rest is fine.
I usually don’t like Young’s voice too much but this was easy to listen to and just relax, except for Running Dry. The violin makes me want to rip out my eardrums.
This was a decent 70's light rock thing
Folky with some electric guitar. Nice in the background
Not bad, but not a regular listen for me
Ok
Jammy, sleepy, lazy-day-in-the-sun music.
None
тяжело с отсутствующим на спотифае( вроде хороший (узнала про очередной кавер в творчестве турин брейкс)
3.75
It was fine
I'm 50/50 on Neil Young, but there are a few classics on this album.
Can't listen to It on Spotify
some beautiful guitar play
Better than I thought it'd be.
Some songs a bit too long but quite nice.
Down By the River and Cowgirl In the Sand were enjoyable.
The album is a bit too middle-of-the-road for my taste, musically not very interesting. His voice isn't great either. However, I like how the songs flow together well and the overall production is good, too.
Some good tracks, some not so good. Overall would listen again. Brown Girl In The Sand and Cinnamon Girl stand out.
I know and like Neil Young, a lot, but I didn't know Crazy Horse was the name of his backing band. I thought it was maybe another singer or guitar player. Anyway, good album, I like the song Down By The River a lot. There's a live version somewhere that's even better than the album version. A three-star album, in my opinion.
Don't like country that much but this album has some nice laid back rock songs. Highlights: Down by the River, Running Dry, Cowgirl in the Sand
Neil Young and Crazy Horse. The first track is absolute fire, the rest of the album is standard Neil Young.
Unfortunately, Neil Young’s music is not on Spotify so I had to annoyingly look this one up on Youtube. The album is a collection of tracks that explore themes of love, loneliness, and the struggles of life. All carried out with its gritty guitar riffs and Young's signature wailing vocals. "Down by the River." has to be the best song of the album. Clocking in at over nine minutes, this song is quite special, showcasing Young's ability to create captivating musical journeys. The extended guitar solos are mesmerizing as well. "Cowgirl in the Sand." is another good song. This track features Young's remarkable guitar skills once again, combined with his emotionally charged vocals. The song's hypnotic rhythm and poetic lyrics create a sense of longing and introspection. Young's collaboration with his band, Crazy Horse, is a defining element of the album. The synergy between Young and the band members is palpable, resulting in a cohesive and powerful sound throughout the record. Their raw, unpolished approach adds a well-needed sense of authenticity to the music, making it feel alive and untamed. The sound is however not perfect and couldve been mastered further to fully potentialize the record. Something that Neil Young has going for him on this album is how well he is able to switch from rock’roll songs to more acoustic tracks quite seamlessly, showing the talents of a great artist. Close to a 4 this one.
Couldn't find a service to listen to it
Pretty nice. Didn't realise Neil Young was from quite so long ago.
S'alright.
It's certainly music of its time. I don't see myself listening to it in the future, but I can definitely see why a ton of people would like this album.
This album was really good background music but for some reason I struggled with getting through it. I kept pausing it to watch something in between the songs.
Good not my taste.
It's ok
It was alright
Neil should break out the electric more often, as this one LP has more energy than all his others on the list combined. The upwards shift in tempo and instrumentation means the songwriting hits harder, and even if the songs run a bit long they have much more melodic variation to sustain them now. A good shift in pace for the singer-songwriter that leads to a nice rock slow burn overall.
I think I found an abridged version, which was far better than the previous Neil Young i reviewed... though maybe due to its brevity.
I like the three rock tracks, although the long songs are over-jammed. Surprised this is 1969 and so early in Neil's oevre.
Not my favorite Neil Young album, but not the worst. Fairly enjoyable listen all around. 3/5.
Cinnamon Girl is a classic tune. Most of the country/folk songs I could do without though
No esta en Spotify
Another album I found hard to rate, surprise. I listened to it once and got distracted with something else, so it kind of just flew over my head. Then I listened again, and it definitely stuck to me better. Maybe if I listened more I would grow more fond of it, but it still didn't quite stick. I can't put my finger on it though, it wasn't bad by any means, but there weren't any song that particularly grabbed me I think. I contemplated going for a weak 4, but I think it will have to be a strong 3 instead. Definitely have some Neil Young songs I'm very fond of, and none of them were on this album, so I know what it feels like when it hits home.
This was a pleasant listen. I have a feeling I can grow to like this a lot but without any big hooks it's a strong 3 from me for now.
Solid, but not the best Neil Young album. 3.5/5
Neil Young är bra, synd han inte finns på Spotify
Neil Young clearly has talent, but there wasn't too much stand out on the album. It was good, and pleasurable to listen to, but nothing jumped out at me in any particular way.
Another album that kicks off with a lot of promise. But Cinnamon Girl doesn't stay the course. I enjoyed this more than the Cooper album but only just. Fave tracks would be Down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand
Helt okej. En stark trea.
This is regular Neil Young fare, and regular Neil Young fare tends to be good fare. It's not as striking as certain albums, but it certainly was a pleasant listen, generally balanced pace and good songs.
I think I'm getting Stockholm syndrome at this point. Cinnamon Girl was really good?? Neil Young's voice didn't make me want to pull a double Van Gogh???? If I ever give a Neil Young album a 4 please admit me to a psych ward.
The only Neil Young album I would choose to listen to if held at wand-point by a power-drunk Bellatrix LeStrange. CINNAMON GIRL.
very hippy-like it's ok
Neil Young is pretty damn great. I knew a couple of these songs but don't think I've heard the whole album more than a couple of times. Stand Outs: Cinnamon Girl, Down By The River Others: Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Round & Round (It Won't Be Long), Running Dry (Requiem For the Rockets), Cowgirl in the Sand 3.5/5
This was much better than the other Neil Young album I’ve had (Tonight’s The Night), the last two songs especially. Still don’t love it though.
This isn’t on Spotify and there’s also no full video of the album on Youtube so I had to listen to it on a playlist. The ads were sooooo annoying. Anyway, it was fine, I see it’s musical value but it’s not something I’d listen to again
3.5
An album I hadn't heard before. Neil's vocals are sublime, and Crazy Horse all do their job well. While this isn't my preferred style of music, I can appreciate why it has been considered for this list. It's an interesting mix of easy 3 minute songs such as "Cinnamon Girl" and the drawn out progressive styled stories like "Down on the River". Neil's distinctive vocals are the best element here. An interesting album, perhaps to my ears not interesting enough to bring me back often.
A great album but not really my style. I like Neil Young but I prefer a little more rock in my rock. Less twang
Så mycket Neil Young det blir, en lite vemodig stämning över albumet. Rätt skönt.
piolaaaaa
This was a pretty pleasant, but average listening experience. "Cinnamon Girl" and "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" make for great openers, but the rest of the album doesn't hold up to the same standard ("Down by the River" and "Cowgirl in the Sand" BOTH could have been better if it were cut by a few minutes). Other than some nitpicks, I had no complaints about the album, really, but I wouldn't say that it really hit me or reached me in any meaningful way; it just made for very normal, middle-of-the-road listening. I will say, Neil's voice can sometimes get a bit hard to listen to, but it's in a pretty listenable form on this album, at least for me. Also notable is that Neil really sets a tone on this album for the next decade of folk and soft rock; this sounds akin to CSNY's work on Deja Vu, plus countless other soft and folk rockers of the 1970s. Neil Young definitely trailblazes with this sound. I want to give this more than a 3, but it's also not quite a 4. Probably a 3.5 if I could, but I'm going to round down.
Its ok.
Neil sätt ditt schtuff på spotify🙄
Solidi albumi Youngilta. Hitaita pitkiä biisejä mistä tykkään. Down by the river I SHOT MY BABYYY.. hurja..
Mon phare dans ce brouillard d'artistes inconnus
on commence à connaître
I thought it was okay, it was a real mix of neat psychedelic classic rock tracks, and some country drivel I couldn't care less about. Very hit and miss album, and nothing was particularly memorable to me. Additionally this album isn't available on Spotify in the UK so it messes up my favourites playlist, and that pisses me off. Favourite: Down by the River
Favourite song: Down by the River Album art: 2/5
I enjoyed this album, having never heard it before. Neil Young is an artist that I already quite like but he's released better albums for sure. A couple of really good tracks but nothing GREAT in my opinion. Still worth a listen.
I was fully prepared to give this album 5 stars after the first two tracks. Cinnamon Girl is a banger of an opening track, however the remaining tracks fail to reach those heights for me. Throw in not one, but two 9+ minute tracks and this short 7 song album still manages to drag under its own weight.
It was okay.. not worth remembering I guess
2/7, 29%
Toimii. Jammailumenoo mut hyvällä tavalla, koska nämä ovat viimeisteltyjä biisejä.
Cinnamon Girl ja historian kuunneltavimmat jamit (koska rakennettu biisien ympärille).
Sorry can’t listen since it’s not on spotify
Como siempre hay que salir de Spotify para oír a Neil Young & Co. La canción que da título al disco ya da para 3 estrellas: "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere". "Down by the river" y "Cowgirl in the sand" a pesar de ser bastante largas también se disfrutan.
Wasn't able to listen to full album.
I’ve always liked Neil Young but never loved him. This didn’t change that But Running Dry was new to me and I did really like that
Ok.
Good album, found on YouTube. Thanks, Rogan.
Music for depressed middle age men. not bad but all the songs drag a bit too long which works when they work but if they’re even a little off then it sucks. best tracks: everybody knows this is nowhere, cowgirl in the sand
I’m so tired of Neil Young at this point
Some cool guitarists and some entertaining songs, particularly Cinnamon Girl, but overall it just kinda existed and did nothing special for me.
Like the music, but Young's voice is kind of annoying.
Quite nice background music. All sounds a bit similar.
Always liked Neil Young's voice. Would listen to Down by the River and Running Dry again
not a huge fan on the whole more on the country side for Neil young down by the river is cool though
The semi-country / folk rock sound with some of the twanginess is pretty cool. Not often that I'd come back to this, but I'm glad I listened to this.
Neil Young's first successful foray after Buffalo Springfield. The man proved that he could ROCK, while still staying in his folk rock pocket. Also worth noting that this is the first Crazy Horse album, a band that would regularly play backup for Neil Young throughout his career. The songs are great, but the longer songs have a distinctive "jam" quality about them. Crazy Horse backs up Young for X amount of measures and he just sort of noodles around in what could be described as a guitar solo. Down by the River especially lacks purpose during these parts, making it harder for me to enjoy. Cowgirl in the Sand is slightly better. I think a lot of the appeal of Neil Young for me is in his live stuff. Rust Never Sleeps was a bonafide classic for it's energy and excellent level of quality throughout. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere doesn't come close for me.
Sort of a difficult album to rate. I really liked 3 of the songs and really didn't like the rest. I'm not even sure why I liked those three as they seemed pretty objectively mediocre, but I found myself going back to them over and over. 3.5 stars.
Rock. Blues.
I enjoyed the first 2 tracks, nice guitars. Third track was a bit boring. 'Down by the River' was my favourite track of the album, the fact that most of it was instrumental definitely helped. 3,5/5
More than with any other Neil Young album (it's a matter of the falsetto), the adjective that comes to mind whenever I hear this is plaintive.
Love their music
Pretty good album, I think we had another Neil one on here. Nothing stuck out, just a nice rock album.
very chill classic rock. made me think of an american countryside movie soundtrack instantly. calm and peaceful. "round & round" sounds like dying from old age and "running dry" feels like the suicide of a wasted one (i like this one so much). very cool guitar solos. i've actually enjoyed the instrumental way more than the vocals. definitely it gets better with every song, didn't make a jaw-dropping impression with the first tracks. overall it's a piece of solid classic rock music but nothing special for me, wouldn't be my first choice in this genre, i'd need to be in a very specific mood to be listening to this whole album again. favourite track: "running dry" (the instrumental is so fucking good it made me think of 4 am summer morning out the window smoking). least favourite track is probably "cinnamon girl" (thought lana del rey covered that one honestly).
Would probably listen again which I guess makes it a 4?
Cinnamon Girl is prob the best track for me, it's all good but I wish I could get more into it. Definitely a nice album start to finish though.
Ok
Vintage Neil.
I already knew Cinnamon Girl, but the rest of the record is new to me. Down by the River is a good song initially. It's not my favourite album, but it's good. Would relisten I think. Bit of a fight between Cinnamon Girl and Cowgirl in the Sand as favourites. Initial thoughts are a 3.5/5?
Ok, not bad, wasn't really in the mood for it
The songs i like on here i really like and the others i hate. This couldve been a 4 or 5 star cause i love neil young. Why does his version of down by the river have to be 80000 minutes long?
Nice songs, nice solos, would've liked it more like 8 years ago 3/5
Definitely like it better than his later work. Nice album.
meh 3 stars, dragging and meandering at times. Neil's voice also just doesn't do it for me. will rate 3 stars from now on if I would choose to listen to this album again in future, 2 if would not choose to listen to this album except circumstances (recognizing that an album is representative of a genre etc) 1 star is will never listen again.
Ok
Very good. Neil Young I don’t remember hearing before, makes me want to explore more.
Palmas palmas. Madera y distorsión. Camisas tartán escurriendose al sol Armonías (des)cansadas. No te escondas entre los lados del río.
Too bad Neil removed his dscography from Spotify...
I get why other people like Neil Young. And if I started writing music, it'd probably sound a lot like Neil Young. And it's not bad! But it's catch-and-release fishing. Hooks are good, but the songs meander, solos don't have direction, and they lose me 3 minutes into a ten minute(!) song.
Not bad but Neil still isn't working for me. I feel like his style is something I would like but his songs leave so much to be desired.
A lot more folk than Rust Never Sleeps, didn’t catch my attention but was pretty unmemorable.
A bit underwhelming/uninteresting, but still enjoyable. Never need to hear it again though
It must be quite hard to be a devoted Neil Young fan without opening a sizeable quantity of paracetamol. I feel like I'm honouring the memory of my parents by listening to it all the way through whilst pondering how good their drugs must have been. Whiny.
A very “ok” album
It’s easy to see why this album it's on the list. But I think he got better ones (6/10) FT: Down by the River
cinnamon girl clears tbh Round & Round (It Won't Be Long) IS VERY LONG AND SHOULDNT BE nah the chorus kinda brings it back actually down by the river is a bop but why is it so long it was short but also a lot longer than it should've been. lyrics were forgettable at best but instrumentals fuckin bop. solid 7/10
This was a really enjoyable album. Compared to other Neil your albums I felt like this one was more concise and flowed well together. With only 7 songs I enjoyed more than half. The folky rock sound is where I feel Young does his best work. 7.6/10
I think this is the second Neil Young album that I've gotten so far. I'm not a huge fan of the sound of his voice, however he does make some enjoyable music. He's the quintessential folk rock artist.
Not a huge Neil Young fan. This is ok. Easy listening but doesn’t do much for me. Cinnamon Girl is a good start but it fades pretty quick
Alright album, still haven’t been drawn in by Young’s music
Rating: 6/10
More hit than miss
Fantastic guitar playing, really liked it on "Down by the River" and "Cowgirl in the Sand". However, didn't really enjoy the singing/songwriting as much.
Får bare spilt ein sang, men den var jo bra :P
A nice, chill album. I was not familiar with any of the songs on this album but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. That is the one problem with the random album a day. I don't really take the time to listen to the album thoroughly. Maybe I will have to start reading about the albums, at least those I am not familiar with, and see if there is a theme like that previous album or at the minimum just to have some background information.
Country-rock suave de Neil Young. Ni fu ni fa.
Not bad
Only one song available on Spotify, but it was much more to my liking than the last Young album.
Meh
An average album. It started out fine. I like the instrumentation in Down by the River, but the rest of the album did not interest me very much. I wouldn’t listen again. Favorite song: Cinnamon Girl Least favorite song: Round & Round (It Won’t Be Long)
Doesn't include my favorite Neil Young songs but it was good.
its cool
Ja, geht so. Hat aber mit "Down by the River" und "Cowgirl in the Sand" zwei Killer-Lieder. Daher 3.
Kan vara värt att återvända till
One of the better Neil Young albums on the list, Cinnamon Girl is very good, Down by the River strong, it's a tight listen with a groove. Shame there's just way too much of his work overall. 3/5.
Não ouvi pois ele tirou do Spotify kkk
Ehh this was nice and all but pretty dull and dragged at times.
This was fine
En jaksanut kaivaa netistä koko levyä joten yhden biisin perusteella kolme tähteä
Perushyvää Neililtä
Du bon folk rock de Neil Young comme on le connait. Rien de top mais rien de mauvais non plus
Favorites: Everybody Knows This is Nowhere Down By the River
I like Neil Young so it's not hard to get into his albums. Not every song is a winner but there's so much in here there's bound to be the odd glitch. A bit of country, a lot of rock, some great guitar solos plus Neil's voice hits the spot.
Sigh. Can't get it on Spotify. Which fair enough, I guess, I appreciate his taking a stand. Hopefully YouTube is giving me approximately the right thing. I know the standard Neil Young stuff, but I've never considered myself a particularly big fan. I do like Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young so there's that. Starting with the name and album art I'm slightly put off, but only slightly. It doesn't look like it rocks, if you know what I mean. And what's up with that pose? Starts out very strong with Cinnamon Girl, an undeniable hit. The title track is fine but Round & Round is yuck. I am used to thinking of his voice as wise/angry old man voice; it is interesting that he sounded exactly the same 50 years ago. Anyway, Down by the River is a great song. This much madness is too much sorrow. The Losing End is chill, I kind of liked it, Running Dry no thank you (unless I happen to be watching Firefly at the same time), Cowgirl in the Sand feels really old fashioned but I guess is fine. Overall a 2 start meh but Cinnamon Girl is definitely worth a star. This helped me find the 1001 Album Club podcast (https://open.spotify.com/episode/7AGyTZ3FeLBXs72wJQP6xM?si=ybGYS6UySVuxTmsYw2QYxg) plus some great covers of Down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand.
Sorry Neil, I tried. I like Neil a lot more than I like Neil's music. There are some absolutely priceless songs in here but then there's... the rest of the album. Just not my thing.
It’s okay.
nice, didn't stand out enough for me. the odd song gets me going, but overall not enough
Ironisch, heute kommt das Album obwohl gestern Neil Young seine Lieder von Spotify gepullt hat - dann muss wohl YT herhalten. Geil knarzige Gitarren auf Cinammon girl, mehrstimmiger gesang immer nice. Gute Melodien und starke Songs, überraschend (für mich) rockige riff passagen. Bissl too much soli für meinen Geschmack.
This was okay. Pretty generic sounding, but I've never been much of a Neil Young fan.
I did like most of the songs, but none of them really stood out to me. They all sounded pretty similar.
I was never a huge Neil Young fan, but this album is pretty good.
yeah a decent album. at this point i am going to stop commenting on every album and only make comments on my absolute favourites or when i find a song i really like
I feel like I'm on drugs
Was nice!
Had a lot of neil young on this list, and I've been lukewarm on most of it. This is okay I guess, but nothing really makes me want to come back to it
Down By The River is great, the rest of the album is fine.
-"Cinnamon Girl" is catchy enough -"Round and Round (It Won't Be Long)" is pretty or whatever but it is also boring -"Down by the River" gets into cool bass and guiar -"Cowgirl in the Sand" is nice enough -Its got some nice bits and pieces, but not nearly consistently enough to really get my attention
Decent but not what I want out of a rock album such as this
I thought i didn’t like him based on his last album (déjà vu). but this was okay. it started off strong with cinnamon girl and gradually got eh, but it was fun and i didn’t hate it.
It seems like there's often very little middle-ground on Neil Young. There are those "NEIL!" fans (or my wife who will no question be singing Cinnamon Girl the rest of the day after this is playing ha) and then those who think Neil's voice is a bit of a non-starter to say the least. Of course I'm taking the easy way out and staking a little middle-ground here but I think this album is a pretty good listen even for those who might "hate" Neil. You've got some good heavy rock starting off with the aforementioned "Cinnamon Girl" followed up with a nice easy rocker in the title track. "Down By The River" is one of those old-time 'holycow this is creepy' songs, which I like. And sticking to this song in particular...for the most part I kind of enjoy his voice on this album - although if anything I often find his electric guitar work (solos) more than a bit harsh and difficult to get through. But on the other hand it's also his unique *sound* and as much as you could always tell an Edward Van Halen guitar part you can do the same for Neil Young. That counts for something significant I think. Another album that I like the overall sound of - you can definitely hear the space in this one, even in the louder songs - a dry production that's somehow not annoying. The album peters out a little for me on the (former) second side - I'm not as much a fan of the country and slow/plodding feel on songs like "The Losing End" and "Running Dry" which knocks it down a notch. Anyways as a "yeah sure Neil Young is alright" kind of music fan this is a decent album - relatively short and with some undeniably important/classic songs that still sound good. 7/10 3 stars
I actually really enjoyed this on second listen. Not enough for a 4 maybe but it was close.
A rare example of an album actually getting worse the more I listened. Became too repetitive after a while...
I wasn’t expecting that much funk. A bit too many extended guitar jams, but a good listen.
Good voice, good sound though not much variety musically. Nice solid listen though!
Really nice harmonies, simple in its musicality. I thought it had a lot of Buffalo Springfield vibes which I then learned Neil Young was in!
Pretty good musically, a little bland at times, I see how this influenced a lot of country/folksy/rock. Best track: Down by the River
Goddamn I hate Neil Young. The only good parts of this album are when he isn't singing.
Easy listening -Folk
Nice easy listening
too much country but the last track was great
Young is an icon, but not one I’ve listened to. I was impressed, but it blended into the background after the first couple of songs. I’m probably past the days where a 5 minute guitar solo appeals to me, but if it does to you it’s probably a 3.5-4
Good.
Great background music. No immediate standout tracks, but Cinnamon Girl reminds me of Trip Shakespeare. Seems a little more upbeat than what I remember from Harvest (listened to it years ago though). 3/5.
Country-rock suave de Neil Young. Ni fu ni fa.
Really enjoyed the second half of the album. Couple of the openers went nowhere for me.
Nothing that exciting.
Best Neil Young I’ve heard
The tracklisting on this creates a funny but fuzzy listening experience. The initial two tracks are pretty tossed-off, but then the record opens up into long-form folk jamming. From what I've heard so far, this is where Young shines. Round & Round starts like a campfire hymn, then develops vocal harmonies which primed my ears for the following song and kept me listening for them to come back. They never quite did, but that anticipation had me listening closer, including to the fiddle lines which develop late. I must admit that I wasn't engrossed, but I think I see what this music can do. The suggestion of it, at least.
L'album è stato abbastanza scorrevole, mi piace in generale come artista/compositore Neil Young, molte sue idee le trovo semplici ma moderne. Non è quell'album spettacolare che ti lascia a bocca aperta ma comunque è carino. 3
Nije toliko dobar kao njegovi ostali, mozd zbog toga jer baš se vamo osjeti ta električna gitara valjda zbog ovog Ludog Konja, ali moram izdvojiti predzadnju pjesmu Running Dry (Requiem for Rockets).
Young Neil is back and this time with a horse...and by the looks of it, a dog too...and a tree. This summer, from the producers of Neil Young's other work, Neil Young is Neil Young in: "Everyone Knows This is Nowhere". In cinemas soon.
Decent enough. Probably got some good songs on there if listened to a few times through. But there’s plenty of Crosby Stills Nash and Young on here so doubt I’ll listen to this one again.
not his best but emphasis that young is an albums person - they all have their own groove. 3.
Can I just say I love this album but have no idea if it’s good or not?
Liked track 1, "Cinnamon Girl"
The guitar in every song is insane.
Every song is pretty much the same, more or less, though not...bad. It's the 60s semi-country twang feel which, if you're into that, would work. It just feels sapped of energy to me.
I mean, it's fine. It's a late 60's rock album. The guitar is the best thing about it. There are drums present as well as a bass. This album exists. Favorite track: Cinnamon Girl
Just old mueic forst track was alright
Liked this one quite a bit. Solid instrumentation for sure.
Didn't make much of an impression
not bad to have in the background. 3/5
Pretty good King Neil album. Lyrics and solos are great.
Ik was indertijd erg fan van dit album. Tegenwoordig nogal wat minder... Veel uitgesponnen nummers met dito gitaarwerk, typisch NY uit die tijd.
It’s Neil.
Gezellig, maar niet uitzonderlijk.
Het geeft de burger moed dat iemand die vals zingt een wereldster kan worden.
Depressing and a little too country
Cinnamon Girl makes this a solid 3, but outside of Everbody Knows nothing else really makes an impression. I think there is a certain time and place for this album but thats definitely not sitting in my apartment on a workday
I actually really enjoyed the guitar work on this album. I know Neil Young is a large proponent of experiencing music either love or on albums so that instead of listening to tracks of a few minutes and then moving on, you can instead enter that state of being in it. After a couple of times through the album I got lost in it. And I even repeated that final ten minute track so I could get lost in it. It's always lovely when I can take a break from my own mind.
Good
It was pretty good, but I got kinda tired of those stupid background vocals by the end (like that tiny voice repeating everything he was singing)
I get why people love this so much, but just not my cup of tea
3.8 - Straightforward songwriting, poetic imagery, simple but effective guitar work. Standout tracks: "Cinnamon Girl", "Round and Round (It Won't Be Long)." This feels unrushed and the songs somehow feel fresh, emotionally.

Highlight: Cinnamon Girl This is folk, exactly what you'd come to expect from Neil Young. Nothing outrageous or offensive, just good classic folk rock.
Muy de su estilo. Aroma americano. Acordes trascendentes
Some songs I liked and others I didn’t. Just not sure it’s road trip music for me.
Not boring!
Some really good songs but i'm not left with much of a desire to listen again.
It's just ok...
Really nice guitar work. Definitely stoner vibes.
Just fine.
Some excellent riffs, songs were a bit long with almost not enough musical diversity to keep it interesting (I’ve never been a fan of artists who just jam on and on) but as soon as I found myself wishing it would come to a close he pulled me back in with something different. His voice didn’t really do it for me. He reminded me, although he is the precursor, of Elliot Smith, and a quick Google showed me that yes critics felt the same. Would listen to again if forced but prob wouldn’t crack my top 100 of this compendium.
Quality music, not my style
Neil Young to me is the song Heart of Gold. On this album there were some nice Balads.
Easy to listen album. I feel the countryside breeze and the taste of fried eggs an bacon. Interesting introspective as I feel deeply connected with the album's title these days...
A classic album by Neil Young, I had lot of fun discovering this artist I never took time for. Its sounds really modern for 69'
The one instrumental track was a banger
ok
Legal mas meio cansativo
Good stuff!
Neil Young is another one whose voice was never my favorite. This album has really good, trippy music, though. Would listen again.
Not bad Neil
For whatever reason, Neil young has not been my jam historically. He's someone I've always wanted to like but just hadn't really. But to be fair, his discography is so expansive that the few songs I've heard probably don't do it justice. I had to listen to this album 3 times because Tom and I kept talking through it, so I'm basing this on the 3rd listen, but the title track caught me even when we were talking over it. I liked that one. I'm not a fan of his slower songs in general.
Very standard sound and a good listen, no skips but no real highlights either. Nice for a neutral upper typa mood
Cowboy rock
Signs of greatness
Not really a Neil Young guy but this was some good classic rock
Time machine listen
I like down by the river, the rest not so much, neil young shines through regardless as a talent
I'm not super-hyped on listening to Neil Young tbh... I've heard a bit here and there and it's just bland. That 2000s-style Pearl Jam seems to be obsessed with him is damnation enough. I've heard Cinnamon Girl but not sure on the rest. It's honestly not too bad for that American folky-rock late 60s shit, but.... eh? Post-listen: it was ok but went absolutely nowhere. I guess that's kinda the idea with this genre, but it bores me. 3/5 though, just because it wasn't BAD and 2 needs to be reserved for SHIT.
Good relatable lyrics. If I were a young man in the 60s who later grew up to be a rough-and-tumble rocker* dad who drank beer on the porch, I'm sure this would be my shit. hashtag Peter, Paul & Mary, Pink Floyd but make it acoustic and mid, George Harrison, Joni Mitchell if I were a man that respected women and were in touch with my feelings, taking mind expanding psychedelics while also living a very simple quiet life in my mobile home, Johnny Cash, I'm going to love REM when I'm 30
I want to find a reason to really like Neil Young but nothing has been that inspiring so far. This album is unfortunately more of the same there.
Lidt kedeligt. Meget guitar
At least this list has helped me realise I'm not a Neil Young guy.
I just find it really dull.
Non-memorable country music. 2/5
So much Neil young in here man
6eme album avec NY, et 3eme en 5 jours… Incompréhensible qu’il soit si représenté dans la liste. Cet album est aussi inintéressant que les autres. =>2/5
I liked the music but when he started singing it ruined it I think country music is just not for me
I’ve liked some of the other Neil Young albums on here but I found this one to be lackluster. A lot of the songs go on too long with aimless playing by Young and the band. It felt like a bit of a jam album, just not as good. Far from his best. 2 stars.
Meil young ei osaa laulaa eikä sen ääni sovi laulamiseen
Me gustó pero no me dejó nada
Meh
It is well played and technically good its just so very dull.
Probably more of a 2.5 due to these last two tracks goddamn
not to good
I means its quite good, I love the guitars, its just not my cup of tea
ні це не дуже
Cinnamon Girl is on this album. Otherwise not (in my mind) a great album from Neil Young. A few good songs, but mostly forgettable stuff. I generally like Neil Young, but I won't put this in rotation. Only a 2 star rating
Yeah. I have multiple of these projects going. This is the second time for this one in two days. Don’t like Neil. He’s not getting better with more listening. I’m just hating him more. Yeah. Sorry. Still not feeling Neil. 2 Boolean: true, I guess, yeah. I said false before because I was salty. I mean we SHOULD listen to Neil and Bob, right? Cause they’re IMPORTANT
God. Just don’t like Neil Young with or without backing band. Not really a fan of him with friends. Really the “earnest, folksy” 60’s make me feel like I need to get good and wasted and forget about all this bullshit. 2 Boolean: Nah, False, no one really needs to listen to Neil. He’s full of shit.
Certainly better than the last crazy horse offering we had though Neil still seems to be giving the guys too much room to work. Some classics like Cinnamon Girl and Cowgirl in the Sand. However, the songs tend to be a little self serving. Tangent: listening to Cinnamon Girl again reminded me of the days in my youth when I subscribed to multiple serious guitar focused magazines. Literally every other issue seemingly someone would call out the “one note solo” in this song. When you listen to the album you see that this one note approach is the preferred solo intro quite often.
Did not enjoy this album. The songs are long and not my vibe.
- (quote discovered and taken from someone else's review:) "You go to a supermarket, and you see a faggot behind the fuckin’ cash register; you don’t want him to handle your potatoes.” - Neil Young. Yeah, you can F off Neil Young. - Other than Cinnamon Girl, nothing is really all that memorable to me. - For a short album, the songs really can feel like they go on forever, especially with a lot of boring guitar solos (and one song with shrill violin). - I think it's a 2.5, but I'm rounding down because of the casual misogyny and because nothing stuck after listening to it 3 times.
country rock aint for me but the instrumentals are decent at best. "haunting" is what others and I would describe it in some songs but the lyrics are meh, not for me. conclusion: country rock not for me but the instrumentals are really good tho ngl.
I don't enjoy his brand of terrible singing, song arrangement, or audio production. This didn't do anything positive for me. Having said that, I do applaud him for taking risks. To each their own. Is it me, or does the background singing of the song "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" sound like muppets? Was he ever on The Muppet Show? I'll take just about anyone else's murder ballad over Neil Young's. No, take that back, I don't want any of Nick Cave's either. Hey, any chance we could get him, Bob Dylan, Nick Cave, and Bruce Springsteen in a rusty old pickup and send them off a cliff, Thelma & Louise style?
Meh
I just hate Neil Young
Not his best
langweilig
Cowgirl in the Sand
meh, pero estuvo lindo
There are people that hate Neil Young, I don’t necessarily count myself as one of that number, but I didn’t care for this. It started out fine, then I found myself getting more irritable as it went on. So many songs are repetitive and boring. His voice doesn’t bother me, but just repeating the same words and doing the same guitar stuff over and over for 10 minutes isn’t fun.
Neil Young's voice is far less annoying on this album than I normally find it. "Cinnamon Girl" is the best song (though I'd rather listen to the Type O Negative version) but I also like "Running Dry."
legalzinho. passa uma vibe de viajando de caro nos anos 70, mas nao é algo que vou revisitar. nota 3,7
Down By the River slapped, the rest are forgettable
Mixing was extremely impressive for the time. The song arrangement was beautiful at times and there are some really catchy riffs. There were times I thought a chord progression would be going somewhere and it would just end abruptly, the lyrics were mediocre but I can't tell if that's a genuine criticism or if it's me from the future retroactively criticizing something that was original for cliche lyrics that I only perceive as cliche because of their influence on the future. Nonetheless, I didn't enjoy the album massively but I didn't think it was bad by any means. I just don't think it's for me personally. It is a good introduction into country for me. I think a 2 star rating a bit harsh but I don't have a 2.5 option and I can't justify giving this a 3. Favorite song: Cowgirl in the sand. Least favorite: Everybody knows this is nowhere
Another one bites the dust.
Yep it's Neil Young
OK
Cinnamon girl - silly lyrics but at the same time they're good and easy to remember. Like the guitar with a little distortion. Loved the outro. Everybody knows this is nowhere- like how quickly it starts. Like the lyrics and love the little guitar riffs. Round and round- a nice intro, soft and relaxing and even more when the voices start singing feels very warm. Really nice song. Down by the river- good introduction loved the guitar and bass lines. Good lyrics, I love how the song moves, at first a little slow and then later it grows stronger but keeping the same "color". Love the riffs they give the song a nice twist. Anyways I think the song is too long due to the instrumental in the middle, which at first is very like the same over and over and later changes to something more interesting but I think it is way too long. At first I loved it but it got a little boring as it is really long. The loosing end- not a fan. Sounds more as if someone was telling me about their day other than listening to a song. Also the instrumental is always the same nothing changes that makes the song a little boring. Running dry- i like the violin, its something new. When he sings it sounds as if it weighted him. Not a song for everyone because it feels heavy listening to it. The cowgirl in the sand- the first silence after the intro feels odd, although then a better instrumental comes with a good guitar line even though a more than 5 minutes into feels very long.
This was okay
I expected this to be better
Not terrible I guess but I couldn’t really get through it. Lot of longer songs, not really my vibe but it wasn’t bad
i didn't get anything out of listening to this album, the same way i didn't the last 4 times i listened to neil young. 2 more times left! how exciting !
I think Neil young likes to play and sing. Songs were unnecessarily long
Neil Young, in my opinion, improved Crosby, Stills, & Nash, but I really don't get on with his solo work, I just can't get passed his voice. This album is slightly better because he has backing vocals from his group, but still I didn't enjoy.
This was not for me. I have never been a NY fan. I am still not ever going to be a NY fan.
One of the stronger 2’s, but it’s far too samey and doesn’t grab the attention enough to push its way up to a 3.
A nice short album for once !! Such a calming, happy, summery vibe. I love the guitar. Fav song is ‘Cowgirl in the Sand’.
It's ok. I like Cinnamon Girl and the title track. The rest of the album is meh. Good rhythm section in the jam sections but Neil Young's jamming and guitar soloing doesn't do anything for me. I understand it's a very distinct style, with the liberal use of the whammy bar, but his playing is just too basic and sloppy for me. The slower songs, I found myself asking, who is this for? I picture old people slow dancing to it but they were young when it came out! And Neil Young was only 24 when he made it. I just couldn't imagine being in my 20's and liking this music. As a Canadian and Winnipegger it pains me to say, I'd rather listen to CCR.
Probably the best one of the four Neil Young albums I've been served so far.
I like the title track :)
Was ok. Some classic rock
