Last song waaaaaayyy too long.
Cover: 7.5/10, it’s resembling of an old timey photograph. I know on the vinyl it’s like textured on the cover.
Carry On - Good sense of what the album is before we get into it. Like the acapella moments. Sounds like this album is going to be a great one for 70’s soundtracks. Switch up in the back half of the song took me to Laurel Canyon yes lawd.
Teach Your Children - Grateful Dead inspired SOOO BAD. This is a straight forward Country song. Just a vibe. HARMONIES THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THE HARMONIES.
Almost Cut My Hair - HOLY SMOKES. I thought this was Neil Young at first but then realized it’s not just his singing. Late night jam for sure. This is exactly what Neil Youngs contribution sounds like to this sector of the band. Heroin in the Canyon Rock. This is where the songs are maybe starting to feel a little long winded or I’m just impatient as fuck and should just shut up.
Helpless - I thought this was just a Neil Young songs whoops, but is it not tho? Also get this mixed up with Helplessly Hoping which is also a song by the band. Just sad ol Neil. Good chorus. Let him shine a little bit. Made me think about their dynamic as a band and why they didn’t stay and make more with Young, besides the Stills-Young band.
Woodstock - Song about Woodstock? I will be sat. Does this song work completely i don’t know. Honestly straightforward lyrics about being hippy dippy, and doesn’t do much to beat the stereotype. Good chorus and interesting lyrics within. Some banger guitar work especially at the end though.
Deja Vu - love the intro scats in the beginning. THIS is what I tune in for, the damn harmonies! Maybe a little disjointed. Soulful. Remincing on the times and how things may seem radical and new but it’s just the start of more change that leads to more war, like a never ending cycle, we have all lived before which is why I’m guessing the overall album experience is called what it is. Becomes a jam track towards the end. NEEDED TO BE HIGH FOR THIS. Good transition
Our House - kind of an overplayed intro but I think it’s so sweet. To know that this song is about Joni makes me set the scene more vivid in my head. Makes you CARE about the small things. Possibly the strongest chorus in the whole album, and maybe the strongest song in the whole crop. Drums make it stand away as an almost boroque song and drives it away from being a conventional acoustic song. Knowing how this relationship turned out makes it much sadder. People can RELATE.
4+20 - LOVE the guitar work on this song. Straightforward storytelling on this song. Linear songwriting. Love whoever singing on this songs voice, it really fits the way it’s written. Thought it was going to be a 420 reference, I was wrong I think? Oh wow, short. good way to make a songs that makes you want MORE.
Country Girl - starts off with a bang. Neil’s back, and he’s HARSH with them instruments. Piano is STRONG. Sleigh bells is an interesting touch. Maybe a little too much but it gets POWERFUL. Tympanies like THUNDAH. Cool how they made a powerful song like this standout with its powerful arrangement. GOOD HARMONIES YES!! Something different for sure. Gets stronger as is goes. Some solid yearning. IM ACCEPTING THE HARMONICA WITH OPEN ARMS!!!
Everybody I Love You - weird placement as last track right after the bombastic last track. Good driving beat. For the out and about person. Ode to everyone, and love everyone. Let everyone’s love fuel your love. Nevermind good CLOSER.
This album has so many points where it switches up so naturally. I wish there was more cohesiveness though. Some messages were stronger than others but you can at least HEAR the band all together and everyone’s working together to make one solid short folk rock stoner rock laurel Canyon staple. And I’m going to accept it.
