Reviews (page 14 of 14)
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
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.
охуительно, пацаны 👍 а что, если написать 40-минутный альбом, где половина хронометража это два ебучих 10-минутных дрочева рандомных нот?? слава богу кто-то осмелился попробовать... Ну типа вот и хули с этим делать? 5 из 7 песен вполне себе заебись, Running Dry вообще шикарная, но пол альбома - это невыносимо скучные соляки на двух оставшихся песнях. они, кстати, были написаны в один день, когда Янг подыхал от температуры. Ну заебись, а ниче что в таком состоянии только говно можно сочинить, не? Или он себя Летовым посчитал, который якобы в трипе после укуса клеща нетленки сочинял? Так Летов пиздел, вероятно... Короче, очень выбесил этот альбом, хотел пятак лепить или что-то такое, но всё-таки 6 песня прям кайф, лан хуй с ним, пусть будет 7/10, во время соляков можно о чем-то другом подумать. Слубашельно: все песни, кроме 4 и 7 Неслушабельно: ну понятно
Una joya, que excelente disco
100
Love it
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).
Fantastic album
I listened to this one 3-4 times over the course of the day yesterday.
Jangly classic rock in the chillest hippy sense. Some randomly ~long~ songs.
This is the album that established both Neil Young and backing band Crazy Horse as forces to reckon with.
I've passionately hated every Neil young album that this list has given me, except for this one. i only hate half of it. the tracks with electric guitar are pretty good, but then you have to sift past all of the whiny country stuff thats just background music for red dead redemption.
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.
Some of these tracks go on waaaaaaay too long
Neil Young is in the camp of Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, NIN, and Prince.
Such a unique sound. Neil Young has such a personality in his songwriting and creates an album so authentic in comparison to Dylan and his CS&N peers. This was such a cool album to explore, I can definitely see now the influence he had on grunge 2 decades later. I have been sleeping on Young!
Decent album that showcases Neil's Talent, although I would have personally preferred some more electric guitars
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?
Yup. This would make it onto a list half as long
Liked track 1, "Cinnamon Girl"
The guitar in every song is insane.
#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!
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.
First 3 songs didn't really do anything for me. Last 4 were almost all great all the time.
This did not have any of the handful of NY songs I know well and there are some whoppers on here. Cinnamon Girl took me by surprise but my favourite 2 are the long ones - cowgirl in the sand and down by the river (unbelievable).
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
Nice album.
Just country, idc Acoustic Guitar, Male & Female Vocals Kkona 5th song in kinda growing on me
Just old mueic forst track was alright
Yeah. It's just another CSNY album. Who cares? There are like 17 of these on this list. Who in God's name cares about any member of CSNY to put them on this list more than once? This isn't even one of the more interesting albums! This list has been giving me quite a few duds lately.
Liked this one quite a bit. Solid instrumentation for sure.
.
A good listen. Very chill, with a few excellent tracks.
Anything Neil has ever put his name on feels like sandals and unbuttoned shirt kind of weather.
For only having 7 tracks, this album still feels satisfying. One I would call a dud—“The Losing End” because I don’t like that country shuffle beat and any song that uses it—but everything else is A+. Favourite track: “Running Dry (Requiem for the Rockets)”
Didn't make much of an impression
This album from 1969 sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday. It's clean and dirty, relaxing and tense, all-around classic dad rock that surely paved the way for the music genre. "Cinnamon Girl" opens with clappy percussion and catchy guitar riffs. This so-called "cinnamon girl" sounds like a manic pixie dream woman who enjoys nice things in life with her man by her side. "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" is short but shares the sentiment of wanting to get away from the rat race, a feeling I'm all too familiar with... "Round & Round (It Won't Be Long)" is actually quite long at 5:54 and features Robin Lane on harmonizing vocals that invokes the feeling of life slowly passing by as we try to do the things that give us purpose "Down by the River"is about 9 and a quarter minutes long and features head-nodding instrumentals from Crazy Horse that makes me want to play pool in a seedy, friendly, yokel's bar while coming together to sing along "down by the riiiiiiiver, I shot my baaaaaby" "The Losing End" is a relatable breakup song -- "my tears fall down like rain" is a classic similie that doesn't ever feel good, but we all go through it “Running Dry (Requiem for the Rockets)" sounds like a cry for help and somewhat of an apology letter to someone Neil Young may have wronged or let down that features powerful and woeful strings (is that a fiddle?) that feels bad but also feels quite nice "Cowgirl in the Sand" closes the album at 10 minutes and 6 seconds long and starts off with Crazy Horse setting the scene, seemingly telling the listener to "strap in" for this one. Lots of instrumental breaks that let the song tell its story with lyrics that Young wrote while suffering from a 103 degree fever about promiscuous femininity... or maybe it's really about beaches in Spain? This album is 21 years my senior and I can only sit and wonder how influential it was. As I said, it sounds like it could’ve been recorded yesterday. Fresh sound that transcends music gimmicks and pop culture, and simply ages like fine wine.
I like Neil Young. I have his "Harvest" and "Harvest Moon" albums. I think I like at least something from every one of Neil Young's colaborations, but I couldn't tell you when a song is from Neil Young & Crazy Horse, or when it's just a Neil Young song. "Cinnamon Girl" and "Down by the River" were the familiar tracks for me from this album. This felt like a solid album that I would listen to again.
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.
Really enjoyed this despite personal feeling towards Neil haha. Cowgirl In the Sand is a great closer. Underrated amongst Neil songs.
It’s Neil.
Top album
Really enjoyable listen
Didn't realise I liked Neil Young as much as I have enjoyed the last two albums of his we have listened too so far
Was very very surprised by this. I don't really like country, but I do like rock, and this was a great fusion of the two. The choruses were pretty phenomenal Saved: Cinnamon Girl, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Running Dry (Requiem for the Rockets)
Saved Prior: None Not Saved: 7. Round & Round Cutting Edge: 6. Running Dry 5. Cinnamon Girl Saved: 4. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere 3. The Losing End 2. Cowgirl in the Sand 1. Down by the River Overall Notes: Don't usually listen to much of this country/rock stuff, so didn't expect to like this at all. A 4.5 that I rounded up for because of how much it blew my expectations out of the water. Good vibes and fun instrumentals. I'm excited to hear more from this up and comer 'Neil Young'.
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.
Gezellig, maar niet uitzonderlijk.
Aangename muziek, de lange nummers steken met kop en schouders boven de andere uit, mooi qua opbouw
Classic
One of my favorite Neil Young albums. Ragged perfection.
fire
Behagelig rock
Ja, een van eerste Neil albums en nog steeds even goed om weer te horen.
Weer Neil Young, maar gelukkig wel echt een mooi plaatje!
Geweldige plaat en te gekke songs. Ben groot fan van Neil Young en vond Harvest en After The Gold Rush al geweldig. Deze komt daar dus zeker bij
Kijk! Er zit nog iets tussen wat me nog wel positief kan verrassen ;-) De bekende nummers van dit album zijn tof, maar de rest ook! Goed album! En van de hele rits Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young en aanverwante soloalbums die al in veelvoud zijn langskomen is dit tot nu toe wel mijn favoriet!
Het geeft de burger moed dat iemand die vals zingt een wereldster kan worden.
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
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
Primer album Neil Young
Neil Young's second solo album, released only four months after his first, was nearly a total rejection of that polished effort. Though a couple of songs, "Round Round (It Won't Be Long)" and "The Losing End (When You're On)," shared that album's country-folk style, they were altogether livelier and more assured. The difference was that, while Neil Young was a solo effort, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere marked the beginning of Young's recording association with Crazy Horse, the trio of Danny Whitten (guitar), Ralph Molina (drums), and Billy Talbot (bass) that Young had drawn from the struggling local Los Angeles group the Rockets. With them, Young quickly cut a set of loose, guitar-heavy rock songs -- "Cinnamon Girl," "Down by the River," and "Cowgirl in the Sand" -- that redefined him as a rock & roll artist. The songs were deliberately underwritten and sketchy as compositions, their lyrics more suggestive than complete, but that made them useful as frames on which to hang the extended improvisations ("River" and "Cowgirl" were each in the nine-to-ten-minute range) Young played with Crazy Horse and to reflect the ominous tone of his singing. Young lowered his voice from the near-falsetto employed on his debut to a more expressive range, and he sang with greater confidence, accompanied by Whitten and, on "Round Round," by Robin Lane. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere was breathtakingly different when it appeared in May 1969, both for Young and for rock in general, and it reversed his commercial fortunes, becoming a moderate hit. (Young's joining Crosby, Stills & Nash the month after its release didn't hurt his profile, of course.) A year and a half after its release, it became a gold album, and it has since gone platinum. And it set a musical pattern Young and his many musical descendants have followed ever since; almost 30 years later, he was still playing this sort of music with Crazy Horse, and a lot of contemporary bands were playing music clearly influenced by it.
Think I might have found my new favourite Neil Young album.
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)
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)
Neil Fucking Young. Nuff said.
I get why people love this so much, but just not my cup of tea
Jeez there are a lot of albums from 1969. Luckily this is a goodun. Neil manages to avoid his annoying squeaky traits and just writes solid folk rock songs. Cinnamon girl and down by the river are stone cold classics too. 4/5
A classic. Possibly a little bit underrated despite having four of his absolute best songs.
4/5
DAOWN BY DA RIVURRRRRR AH SHAT MAH BAYBEEEEEEE
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.
Always been into Neil. This was no "Harvest" or "After the Gold Rush," which I imagine we'll see on this list, but it still has some great Neil Young tracks on here. I only knew "Cinnamon Girl" coming into it, but that was a great demonstration of what Crazy Horse contributes to a Neil Young album. I love his folksy singer-songwriter vibe, but having Crazy Horse swoop in and add some crunch and texture to his songs really gives him some more depth and range. "Running Dry" and "Cowgirl in the Sand," were my other two standouts. Really loved the old-timey fiddle/violin on "Running Dry." I was feeling very, on the old dusty trail, with that one. Excited to see some more Neil, or a little CSNY later on this list.

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
Neil Young: auch mal wieder so ne unerledigte Hausaufgabe, vor der ich angesichts ihrer schieren Größe und Unübersichtlichkeit immer zurückschrecke - sehr viel kenne ich von ihm gar nicht, und wo soll man halt auch anfangen? Also einfach mal mitten rein mit der erstbesten Empfehlung hier. Gefällt mir deutlich besser als erwartet, fühlt sich richtig gut an: die oft spärliche aber eigentlich immer genau richtige Instrumentierung, die Harmonien, der blubbernde Bass - und auch sein Gesang, den ich deutlich kraftvoller empfinde als das erinnerte eher dünne Fisteln (my bad!). Wohldosierter Countrysound (gern genommen: The Losing End), bluesig, nicht zu folkig (Running Dry noch am ehesten), ziemlich mit sich im Reinen - so mäandert , slidet und hallt das vor sich hin, und mit Cowgirl in the Sand kenn ich ja am Ende sogar doch einen Song! Tja und am Ende, ich bin selbst überrascht, jammen der junge Neil und Crazy Horse sich sogar über die vorher vermutete Grenze einer 3 hinaus - 3,8 darf es für diese schöne Entdeckung gern geben!
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.
Rocking
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.
fav tracks: cinnamon girl, down by the river, cowgirl in the sand
Not boring!
Excelentes músicas, consigo me ver ouvindo de vez em quando, quando estiver cansado de ouvir as mesmas coisas. Melhores: Cinnamon Girl, Down by the River e Cowgirl in the Sand. Pior: Round & Round.
Le pongo un 4 porque me gusta Neil Young. Pero el disco no me ha encantado.
Not bad. Protest rock it seems. 4/10.
Solid Neil Young music for people who like Neil Young.
meh, droney
A good example of average music from the late 60s era
Some really good songs but i'm not left with much of a desire to listen again.
Really good. First 4 star award. Down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand worth the 4 stars.
I like Neil Young.
neil young is my spirit animal
It's just ok...
I'm a big fan of Neil Young. Pretty cool folk, country and rock mix. Relaxing vibes.
I really like folksy Neil Young. All around felt like a solid album, but the jams in songs like Down by the River and Cowgirl in the Sand were the standouts for me!
One of my all-time favorite records. I'd go 4.5/5 if I could, but this deserves more than 4.
Really nice guitar work. Definitely stoner vibes.
Good stuff
Just fine.
weird combo of being really short but too long. He do be having better albums
Rockin guitar, bluesy guitar, steel guitar, country guitar, my kind of musico. Loved most of the songs, not a perfect 5 stars because the slower songs disappointed a bit. Can feel the Pearl Jam influences here. Love track 2, never knew it was Neil Young!
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.
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
Quality music, not my style
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.
Nope. Not in the mood for drunk John Denver...
This is a fantastic album by Neil Young! I hadn't listened to it and glad I did. Great songwriting, singing and guitar!
Fine album. Sounds like Neil Young
Through and through pretty great.
Production: 7/20 Songwriting: 9/20 Innovation: 10/20 Bangers: 0/20 Emotional response: 5/20 =31 Soz Neil this was pretty shit
Na 40 seconden wist ik genoeg.
Good album. The longer songs were more interesting to me. When Neil lets the guitar go, I get happy.
Old Boring Bastard
solid stuff from Neil - C
Neil Young to me is the song Heart of Gold. On this album there were some nice Balads.
A short album, but packed full of classics. Neil always has great lyrics and the music to back it.
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.
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
not really my style, the background singers sounded weird.
Liiite dansbandsvarningar här och där, men överlag jättemysig och bra. Gitarrsolona är otroligt nog det som höjer betyget.
3.8
Legal mas meio cansativo
Meh. Samme sangen om igjen og om igjen.
Good stuff!
classic, still can't get enough of this record - sent me into a Neil spiral
Great album
A couple of classics on there. Most of it I really liked. Some of the lyrics I wasn't super keen on and it felt like it dragged on a bit on the longer songs -- I'm not a huge fan of +5 minute songs, so 9 and 10 minute songs lose their appeal to me.
Some wailing country bullshit. Didn't expect anything and still was disapointed.
Neil Young is another one whose voice was never my favorite. This album has really good, trippy music, though. Would listen again.
Ehhhhhhh
Not bad Neil
ja wat moet ik er van zeggen, neil young, dit vinden zelfs mijn ouders suf
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.
Classic young, but fun
Very standard sound and a good listen, no skips but no real highlights either. Nice for a neutral upper typa mood
Cowboy rock
Probably my favorite of the three I’ve heard so far
Signs of greatness
good for a neil young album running dry and cowgirl in the sand are decent songs i guess
Neil Young really puttin in some work
Excellent early Neil
interesting
It’s Neil Young and Crazy Horse. What the fuck am I gonna say? 10/10
Excelente. Solos de guitarra e vocais memoráveis. Ouvir novamente. Destaque para Down by the River e Cowgirl in the Sand
Excelente. Solos de guitarra e vocais memoráveis. Ouvir novamente. Destaque para Down by the River e Cowgirl in the Sand
Not really a Neil Young guy but this was some good classic rock
Time machine listen
Hard to give a genius like Neil Young anything lower than a 4.
I thought some of the songs would drag on but they didn't. Nice musicianship.
1969: Down By The River, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
I like down by the river, the rest not so much, neil young shines through regardless as a talent
very good folk record
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 Album. Solid
Controversial opinion... Neil young ain’t my thing. And his guitar solos are too long and boring!
Woman slap plagiarism
