Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

It was fine. Nothing really stood out to me. I couldn’t finish the album because I had to listen to it on YouTube and for some reason the last 2 songs weren’t playing. I didn’t care enough to look them up somewhere else.

Yet another artist that I need to start really ranking their albums next time he comes up. But it's tougher to do so without him on Spotify. Fight the good fight I guess.

So so

First song was good. Everything after was whiny sounding trash. White people did not make good music in the 60s?

Not my cup of tea

I just don't get it. Moments were alright but most of it just doesn't do anything for me.

Not much interesting to comment on this, wasn't particularly impressed but I think that's just that I'm not a big fan of Neil Young.

cinammon girl and everybody knows this is nowhere are aight down by the river scares me every single song sounds the same and then theres the fact that one song is nine minutes and one for ten minutes and FOR WHAT

It seemed decent, but didn't grip me.

I've heard Cinnamon Girl before, but I didn't know any other songs. Some songs it seemed a little long at some points. It didn't make me want to listen to anything else Neil Young has put out.

Alles ziemlich Standard, teils erfrischend leichtfüßig. Vocals sind besser als gedacht.

It seems like every song was a little longer than the one that came before, culminating in someone playing something that sounds like a cat being tortured.

It's definitely not the best version, it's not necessarily even a good rendition, but Down by the River is a good song. Thank you Neil Young.

Ok

Eh.

Maybe a 3 but -1 for being a woke a-hole and removing his music from Spotify.

Ugh. These songs go on way too long. 2/5

Old, boring. Not mine.

i know neil young can write good songs but none of these grabbed me at all. this was an incredibly long and boring album that went nowhere for me. just a resounding meh. favorites: cinnamon girl, i guess

It was okay

Annoying, but a blessing in disguise, no Spotify. But thankfully, none of this guy's shit will show up randomly while listening. That's a plus 1 star right there. Speaking of annoying, this guy's voice. Thankfully, I would have to actually seek him out to hear it again. I won't. 3rd annoyance, 10 minute songs with no substance. There's a couple on here. As much as I disliked most of this album, Cinnamon Girl is an all-time classic I just won't diss. Probably the only song I can say I enjoy from this guy. So, I give another star for Cinnamon girl. Not really my taste, but there parts of this album I thought the were some nice music. A couple songs went way too long and there was nothing outright terrible....except his voice. I am thankful this guy not on Spotify. For this reason and Cinnamon girl, I give a solid 2

2 232 albums ago, Ragged Glory convinced me I might be a bit of a Neil Young fan, and 63 albums after that, Buffalo Springfield seemingly reinforced that. Well, at album #240, I’m finally presented with a proper Neil Young solo effort from his golden era… and oh my god this album is so lame. Look, I’m normally a folk music defender, but this album doesn’t give me much to defend. While I don’t hate Young’s voice like most people do, the songwriting here just isn’t interesting. I gave a re-listen with headphones to try and see if there’s anything I’m missing - nope, not a lot there. So, I went online and did a bit of research to see what all the hype is about, and apparently this album marked a shift to a rawer sound for Young - a shift that has made people retroactively refer to him as the “Godfather of Grunge”. Yeah… not really sure I hear that. It’s slightly unpolished and lo-fi for sure, but come on, it was 1969 - really doesn’t feel like a standout from the era. Anyway, I wasn't really into it, but it wasn’t objectionable, so we’ll give a 2.

Sometimes uplifting and sometimes pensive. A decent effort. Really strong opener and closer and then a bunch of ok stuff in the middle

The actual fever dream ramblings of a drunkard. I just can't understand why it's lauded.

Bit boring

Still don’t care for Neil Young

There is too much Neil Young on this list. It didn't help that his music is mostly generic country rock.

I like Cinnamon Girl but wasn’t crazy about the rest

Never been a fan of Neil Young, but fairly easy listening

Ja

this is not my first neil young album on this list, but i finally arrived at the conclusion that i don't enjoy his voice very much. this album isn't bad but perhaps lackluster. the instrumentals can be good, which i respect. everybody knows this is nowhere is mellow and relatively easy listening. but it couldn't excite me, and it really comes down to young's voice. i have enjoyed some music by young (when i'm distracted by the message or there is more music happening), but i think this was just too mellow and isn't quite the neil young i enjoy.

Pretty typical Neil Young. There's some talent there, but ugh. Just not for me.

Klinkt wel vet, begrijp de vooruitstrevendheid. Verder beetje eendimensionaal album.

Another Neil Young album. It isn't a great album. I made it through but I did not care for it. I didn't skip any of the songs though.

The songwriting and voice are sooo boring. The instrumentals themselves weren't half bad except for the monstrosity of Running Dry and it's violin part which almost made me get tinnitus. Cinnamon Girl, Down By The River, The Losing End, and Cowgirl in the Sand were good instrumental wise. Maybe if it was someone else singing with better lyrics it would be much better.

Staat niet op spotify te veel moeite, bedankt joe rogan

Meh

Listened to the album but its definitely not my style of music. I can see the charm of the songs but I won't be listening to it again.

Hieman ongelmia löytää mesta josta kuunnella tämä. Ihan jees muttei omia NY lemppareita. CH -soundi alkaa kyllä jo muodostumaan. 2/4

Yeah... okay. Stand out tracks: Down by the River.

troche nudne, ale jak ktoś lubi takiego rocka bardziej klasycznego to mu się powinno spodobać

Meh, I don't really care for this one. After the Gold Rush and On the Beach are much better.

Not really my style, a little too slow for me. 4/10

huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh

It's fine, drones on a bit and made me really want to curl up and take a nap. I mean, that's not entirely a bad thing, I like naps.

Usual winey vocal from Neil Young on an average set of songs with an Ok backing. Wasn't particularly impressed but it wasn't bad either.

Was OK I know like he's a big deal but just the vibe I could not get excited about. Just wondered why he was trying to push over the tree.

Still struggle with whiney old Neil. Was better when diluted by C S & N

It is 2022, Neil Young managed to make the news as though the world was going to care about his catalog being available on Spotify. This album's unavailability makes that regrettable as far as convenience regarding this list of 1001, but for whether or not the world cannot move on without Neil Young's music being available digitally is a rather far fetched position, but not for him apparently. Perhaps someone told him a long time ago that he is the best musician, song-writer, to ever grace the music scene. He has obviously believed this about himself. Through the aforementioned lens, there are pre-judgments against the man that skew the acceptance of his music. There is history with CSN and his disruption of the trio, the familial discord that he seems to believe is a disservice to fans (it is) but it is this same out of touch with reality approach to himself that overshadows his talent, and by extension is out of touch with the consumer. Normally this would not be a problem, but Young does try to connect through activism and use of his platform. This album could be a good one. It is an easy listen, the songs are nice and Neil Young does have talent. His ability to achieve what he has is a testament to that, and this review will not deny him that. Where this album fails to connect is the historical pretentiousness of Neil Young, perhaps it was the pursuit of success and the brutal acquisition of it that paints the picture. Thing is, it is the opinion of this review that this album does not meet even minimally the requirement before death. We love our entertainers lest they become too self-important, and Neil Young has become the latter.

Cinnamon Girl and Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere are a goo pair of openers, by Down By The River is 9 minutes about nothing. Again I don't get why so many people have a hard on for this sound. Cowgirl In The Sand is 10 minutes of bullshit.

Just can't get the love for Neil Young. Whiney voice.

Better than the last Neil Young album, but still not great. I still don't like his voice, but these songs seem to fit it a bit better than the previous album. Not something I'd listen to again. Upper end of a 2.

Not really a fan

pretty boring

É bom, mas não me cativou.

Gives me BBQ restaurant vibes, not a total hater but not a fan either.

I dont know what genre this is, but its definitely not music. It sounds like a group of friends came together and decided to smoke before recording.

Wouldn't be my first choice but it was a decent listen.

Nice album

Droning, uninteresting sounds

I only liked the first song, thank God we no longer have 9 minute songs

Neil Young's second album, backed by the band Crazy Horse, released in 1969 and was remastered in 2009. This country rock album was popular even at release and has been certified platinum. 4 songs including the title track became staples for Neil to play at shows. I've heard of Neil Young but this was the first time I really listened to his music. It was fine, but not my musical genre of choice.

“Young is a strange artist and I am not all the way into him yet, but this record is haunting.”

Not really my style of music but certainly better than expected

A bit twangy.

Io sono abbastanza un fan di Neil Young. Non in questo album però e comunque non c'è paragone Neil Young vs CSNY. E' noto che Neil Young non è esattamente un guitar hero e forse su questo album se la sente un po' calda. I Crazy Horse a supporto non aiutano molto quando ci stanno 10 minuti di sproloquio chitarristico che difficilmente giustificherei anche con un bravo chitarrista. Putroppo anche gli altri pezzi sono abbastanza insipidi, questo album suona più come una demo che un album completo. Comunque c'è sempre un po' la spirito del vecchio Neil e non è che m'ha fatto schifo, però è tra i suoi lavori più deboli.

Jangly classic rock in the chillest hippy sense. Some randomly ~long~ songs.

Some of these tracks go on waaaaaaay too long

#1 everybody knows this is nowhere #2 round & round #3 n/a sorry i do not like country

Liked: cinnamon girl; everybody knows this is nowhere; cowgirl in the sand. Ok: down by the river; the losing end. Didn't like: round & round; running dry (liked it at first and then it got worse and worse). Overall I wouldn't listen to this album again, although I might give the songs I liked another listen!

Just country, idc Acoustic Guitar, Male & Female Vocals Kkona 5th song in kinda growing on me

Of all the Neil Young albums to pick…

Wasn't gonna listen, but it starts with Cinnamon Girl, and it's only 7 songs, so maybe I can try it. I suspect it will be lucky to get a 3, but you never know.... Naah, it's a 2. Quality is fine, but it's just too quiet and mournful for my taste. I think I like Young better than the rest of CSN, but still not really my thing. I can hear the beginnings of grunge in the sound, but still just too slow/contemplative.

Neil Young is an artist where I know all of his hits but never really listened to any of his albums all the way through so I am happy about this selection. I always meant to listen to more Neil Young. 1 - "Cinnamon Girl" - One of his hits so I of course enjoyed it 2-3 - "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" & "Round & Round (It Won't Be Long)" - These two were a little to slow and sad for me today. I am working while listening so maybe the lyrics weren't sad but the music made me feel sad so there is that. 4 - "Down by the River" - another one of his hits so I enjoyed it. 5 "The Losing End (When You're On)" – okay, this is seriously depressing to me. I didn't finish it...NEXT! 6 "Running Dry (Requiem for the Rockets)" – OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!!! SERIOUSLY?? I DO NOT NEED THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW. I DO NOT LIKE THIS SONG AT ALL - opening verse: Oh, please help me, oh, please help me I'm livin' by myself I need someone to comfort me ANOTHER SKIP!!! 7 "Cowgirl in the Sand" – Ok, I like me some cowgirls, lets see how this goes........Pretty nice guitar intro..... I like me some guitar! Maybe this is an instrumental... nope. Lyrics are so so but I dig the guitar solos. I give this song three snausages

Unschlüssig wie das mit 5-Sterne System adäquat zu bewerten ist; wäre eine recht mittelmäßige 5/10, also hier und jetzt 2.5, aber das hieße wohl aufrunden, aber eine 3 ?!? Neeeeeee… Leider wird’s bei aller Sympathie ne etwas magere 2.3

Rocking

Not bad. Protest rock it seems. 4/10.

meh, droney

A good example of average music from the late 60s era

weird combo of being really short but too long. He do be having better albums

It was country... Not my fave, but wasn't the worst country I've ever heard.

A good example of average music from the late 60s era

Nope. Not in the mood for drunk John Denver...

Production: 7/20 Songwriting: 9/20 Innovation: 10/20 Bangers: 0/20 Emotional response: 5/20 =31 Soz Neil this was pretty shit

not really my style, the background singers sounded weird.

Meh. Samme sangen om igjen og om igjen.

Some wailing country bullshit. Didn't expect anything and still was disapointed.

Ehhhhhhh

good for a neil young album running dry and cowgirl in the sand are decent songs i guess

1969: Down By The River, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Controversial opinion... Neil young ain’t my thing. And his guitar solos are too long and boring!

cinnamon girl. great. down by the river - single most overrated song ever recorded. why is this song over 9 minutes long? the rest - sub par filler. i do not understand the love for neil young - especially this early.

God, I dislike Neil Young. And this album definitely didn’t change that. I wish I could get the 40 minutes back it took me to listen to this garbage. 1/5

First time I heard of him was last year when they put him on a headline slot for Glasto. Everyone was saying who is this guy, why is he playing the headline slot, blah blah blah. I thought no I’ll give him a chance. That was quickly confirmed when I watched him for 5 minutes, so boring. Never seen such a small crowd for a headline slot. Straight to Charlie xcx to prevent myself from committing suicide, which is saying something.

Just not my music did not enjoy it. Would only really listen to it in the background.

Still as bad as ever.

Niel Young is pretty terrible stuff. My WTF?! alarm went off twice on this album. Once during the awful "la la la's" in the title track and again during the screechy violin parts on the last track. The rest of it didn't fare much better. I don't understand this guy's popularity.

Super turgid hippie hangover music. I've heard this shtick done before, and done a lot better too, without Young's incessant bleating. Very early '70s, and not in a good way. It's a country rock album that's not good as either country or rock.

It was fine. I find his vocal choices grating more often than not

Don't get it.

too much Neil Young

Just not for me

My god this guy sucks

this is how i imagine taylor swift male boomer version to be

Все на высоте, инетересное перекликание вокала, баса и гитары. ВИРТУОЗНО СЫГРАНО Я БЫ СКАЗАЛ. Я не завайбился. Running Dry больше всех понравился. Cowgirl in he Sand достойный трек, но типа занудно.

This music style for me was awful , I wouldn’t listen again , but that’s my opinion

no mg

Vrij makke rock, niets slechts maar gewoon zeer vergetenlijk

La musica country es el hijo bobo de la musica. La peor mierda que se parió musicalmente. 0/10

1.5

Debe ser una broma ya. Hace dos días me salió el quinto o sexto disco de este tío. Ya estoy harto de decir que no lo soporto. De verdad, no puede ser que entre los 1001 discos más relevantes del mundo este tipo tenga seis o siete. Es algo de tercera división en la historia de la música, su voz es insufrible. Basta ya.

Couldn't find it on Spotify, only bits from the album. I listened to the track "Round and Round," and to be honest, I concluded that it isn't for me. It's kind of some sort of "modern-banjo" music, and feels targeted to a particular demographic.

N/A, couldn't find the album

Не понравилось

Nikdy som nepochopí, prečo je tak oceňovaný...

Why there’s one album by this back on the list I can’t imagine - imagine my surprise when I find he’s got multiple. Awfull

not my vibe. Next please

The dictionary definition of Tedium. Make the boring man go away, mummy!

nja whatereber großer name und..? c

Really ordinary listening experience. 40 minute record of which 20 minutes is two songs of late sixties wig outs. It is just plain boring, he's not fully developed his songwriting chops and Crazy Horse are pedestrian. Don't' bother deadbeats.

Bland country with a distortion pedal with awful singing and worse vocalisations

I didn’t think I’d feel this way about a Neil Young album but… I do.

“It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.” Arthur Schopenhauer 1 Deluded, clodhopping nonsense from Neil Young and his merry band of mediocrities. As usual. 1/5

hic bana gore deil ya asiri sikici hicbir sey olmuyor goze carpan bir noktasi yok sesi bu boslugu dolduracak kadar iyi degil

Best wel saai Soms mooie instrumentele solo’s die wel leuk zijn Zang word je snel moe van

Cinnamon Girl starts off the album strong, but it meanders. I didnt really like this at all. It felt like men going through a midlife crisis trying to live out their rockstar dreams of their youth. 1 star.

Unfortunately not really my taste

Dear author of the book your preferences are showing again. I am writing this before I even listen to the album but do we really need this much Neil Young on this list, and in life in general. A lot of people might come to his defense because he is 'political' and maybe talk about his 'battle with Spotify'. Sure, he did pull his music, briefly, from Spotify but I do believe you can still listen to it there because in the end he sucks. There are plenty of reasons for artists to pull their music from Spotify but if you're going to do it you need to do it and do permanently. Like most shitty boomers who like to think they solved civil rights, war, and all the other bullshit from the 60's and 70's, Neil Young has pulled the ladder up behind him after making it big. Fuck the newer artists who won't get the same royalties as him he got his. Cinnamon girl is a great song there are better covers of it out there but it's nice to hear it. The rest of this is the same old bullshit from Neil Young.

Very country rock, usually not my style. Album's target market is probably not me, and that's okay.

This was no good, overrated artist

Absolute background noise

Not for me. 1/5

Shite.

The most over rated asshole on the planet. I will never willingly listen to even a single note or syllable. I can’t believe this loser is on this list as often as he is. F-CAW-F

“Cinnamon Girl” is fine, if covered by someone else. One star, filed under Everybody Knows Neil Young Paid to be Over Represented Here.

Not my thing

I'll be blunt: I have never liked Neil Young's voice. I've tried. I really have. But every time I hear it, it's just this incredibly high, nasally sound that I find almost painful to listen to. I'd rather sit through "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" on a loop than spend five seconds with this guy. It's just a painful voice. That said, I have to give him credit for the songwriting. The man can write a song, no question about it. Tracks like "Cinnamon Girl," "Down by the River," and "Cowgirl in the Sand" are undeniable classics in their own right, and the way he crafts a song is pretty impressive. So, while I appreciate the craftsmanship and the genius in the writing, I just can't get past the voice. It's not an album I will be putting on again anytime soon. The talent is there, but so is the voice I can't stand.

This was boring and barely music

This is way too mellow for me. I just want it to be over. Listened before? N Saved to library? N Favorite track(s): If I had to choose one, I guess Cowgirl in the Sand

у меня слов не найдется чтобы описать насколько он скучный. нейл крайне посредственный певец. я могу только понять почему в 70-х это было хитом, но 50 лет спустя только лицо кривится от его голоса. как ж можно было так не научиться петь вообще, емае

No

This is way too mellow for me. I just want it to be over. Listened before? N Saved to library? N Favorite track(s): If I had to choose one, I guess Cowgirl in the Sand

Lite för folkligt för min smak. Allt är lite generic och inte så memorable Texterna var också ganska tråkiga. Musiken måste vara väldigt tråkig om jag lyssnar på text Not for me

7 songs - 40 minutes. One excellent song.

Disappointed by this, bland and sterile.

Terribly mundane for me

I feel like I should like Neil Young. I like rock, I like country, I don't really like Neil Young - I like some of his songs but only when other people cover them. I don't particularly like his voice, sometimes he sounds like Kermit, sometimes he sounds like a poor mans Mick Jagger, I don't like the sequencing on this album, it stylistically feels lost. Harvest was alright and I imagine that's on this list somewhere but this album is not it. I won't be adding this to my library, I'll probably skip any of the tracks if they some on rotation. Sorry Neil but this is my first 1/5

I don't think I cared for this. Couldn't listen to it enough to really know but maybe thats a sign? But I also just could be sick of listening to new music that I don't like. MAYBE CHANGE TO 2 STAR IF I REVISIT AND SEMI LIKE IT

Didn’t enjoy this.

Bryder mig ikke om den.

Fucking hate Neil Young’s music. Don’t need to listen to this record to know that it’s going to get a 1 from me, and I’ll save myself the frustration of wondering why the world regards his work so highly.

Eh.

Very rock.

I like Neil Young’s big hits but this was very meh to me

Unknown why Neil Young is so popular. He did some cool stuff with Pear Jam. But this just isn't good. Maybe I had to be there or something.

A rating of 3.55? Would give it 0.355.

No.

Another overrated album by an overrated artist on this list. Harvest is a great album but I'll take a pass on all the other Neil Young on the list.

Nope. Boring

Very dated. Maybe meant more back then. Not sure it would make this list if being compiled now. That awful soft rock, white mid west easy listening FM station stuff that clogs the airwaves

Didn't like it

Such an overrated artist

Not a fan

please, god, tell me i am free of this man now

I have never seen the appeal of neal young. Bland paint by numbers music, and Lynyrd Skynyrd didnt need him around so I cant for the life of me think why I would.

Try to avoid Neil Young where possible, can only really tolerate 'Heart of Gold'. Everything else is just vanilla, boring. Sorry Neil, your name may be 'Young', but your songs get old pretty damn quick.

The album is in the main ‘of it’s time’. It sounds a bit too ‘country and western’ 😬 ‘Down by the river’ is the best track… the rest is forgettable.

Ugh idgaf about Neil young.

Nothing ruins a song quicker than Neil Young opening his mouth.

Not available on Spotify

Couldn't listen due to artist pulling album from Spotify.

Giving this 1 star because I’m required to give it at least 1 star. I get why people like this but it is NOT FOR ME. Plus it’s not super accessible.

The brilliance of the album may be lost on me since I was not around for the time to see how groundbreaking it may have been for its time. But it sounds incredibly generic with weak instrumentation. And by then end I was tired of Neil Young's weak and shrill voice. Running Dry was a fun track but other than that I was disappointed with this album.

So far, first three are a little to slow and folksy for me Song 4 playing this feels like a nope for me, guitar solo kicked in as I wrote this and it's nice. Just not my vibe Song 5 - This is not my type of album at all Ending song, nice guitar intro. Just not my stop Wondering why it's top 1000

Never did like Neil Young

not available on spotify :(

N/A

meh NNN

*not on Spotify*

Doesn't seem to be available on spotify

Not on streaming

For every 10 minutes subtracted from this album's length, it gets a star. The work was far too long and the instrumentals were too repetitive for too long. Music can sometimes feature a long repetitive instrumental and be great pieces. A specific example of this is Desire Lines by Deerhunter and the drone genre . Yet it EKTIN is not a drone piece and the repetition falls flat to me. It's a boring album. Maybe I need to listen to it more but this is my current review.

I'm gonna have to listen to this AFTER my Release Radar, as it starts with REZZ! And maybe not actually. It's not on Spotify. I might have to find it on youtube later.

This guy again :(

Meh

Not on spotify

this isnt on spotify. so consider this also a fuck you to neil young. im not putting up with this bullshit. joni mitchell and neil young can both go fuck themselves.

Better than the last one. Still not for me. Boring at best. 1

Given Mr Young's stance on having his music available on streaming services, I can't comment or rate effectively.

do not understand the hype whatsoever. you see the amount of accolades it has and you expect something a little interesting but it was just so unbelievably stale and mediocre

Didn't really enjoy it, seemed like background music

Still can't listen to Neil Young on Spotify and I still don't care.

Neil young returns with another album that I can’t listen to cause it’s not on Spotify. Idk what he thought he was gonna achieve with removing his music but he’s making sure he’s not able to gain any new fans and at this point I don’t think he can put his music back without looking like a punk so he’s just thrown his career into a bottomless pit never to be seen in my eyes

Couldn't play on spotify, don't care enough about Neil Young to listen to on YouTube and deal with ads

Nein, das nächste, bitte!

What a liar Neil Young is, not only is he not young, but his song Round & Round (It Won't Be Long) was the longest 6 minutes of my life. 1 pair of pants, burned to a crisp. 👖

NÃO DA PRA OUVIR DESGRAÇAAAAAAAAAAAAA Bloqueado no Brasil

Not on Spotify!

Not on Spotify

ok

Do I really have to write another review on what I think about Neil Young's music?

Everybody knows this is meh.

not available

not on spotify. its a good album but a pain in the ass to get on streaming.

There isn't any on Spotify any more. Neil Young removed it

Dated

se me está haciendo eterno y no le estoy prestando atención al neil que quiero yo es al que canta SWEEEEEEEEET CAAAROOOLIIIINE PA PA PA (neil diamond)

Yeah, not for me. This was music that is played somewhere I don't want to be. I hung in there tracks 1-5, but good Christmas track six! Running dry should not be allowed to be played during a pandemic. I skipped that one. What little I listened to of track six sucked all my willingness to finish a 10 minute track seven. I just can't do it.

Na 40 seconden wist ik genoeg.

ja wat moet ik er van zeggen, neil young, dit vinden zelfs mijn ouders suf

Woman slap plagiarism

Primer album Neil Young

Excellent early Neil
