Crosby, Stills & Nash

I like this album a lot but I don't really know whether I love it, doesn't really speak to me.

Loved this way more than I expected to, an insanely beautiful album

I've heard of them, but didn't recognize any of these songs. Very much not my thing though.

Has some standout tracks on it. I enjoyed their take on Everbody's Talkin'. I thought that was a Harry Nilsson tune. Turns out that was a cover too of the original by Fred Neil. This is a great folk album. Not a genre I love on the whole but Crosby, in every group he's in, seems to be a master of choral harmony. He himself isn't a great singer but he may pan out to be, sneakily, one of the best accompanists to do it.

Well, it goes on and on and is pleasant enough, but it's getting boring pretty soon. And sometimes there's a little country music mixed in there, and a little country is too much country for me.
Also, I do love me some vocal harmonies, but here these are just over the top.
Would probably not skip but wouldn't actively put on either.
2,5/5 okay-ish

Ill be honest i zoned out on my first listen of this one. On my second listen, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I can give this 4 stars.

The only thing that could make this album worse is if Neil Young joined the group. But that would never happen, right?

Based on my first listen, Crosby, Stills and Nash’s self-titled debut album features the same song 14 times. It’s not that bad, but a little variety would have done this record a world of good. This makes it nearly impossible to single out individual tracks—the differences are simply too subtle. Instead, “Crosby, Stills and Nash” has turned out to be quite stylish easy listening. It’s fine as background music for driving, but a bit one-dimensional for focused listening.

Please list no more Crosby I beg you. Poor man’s Grateful Dead and even poorer man’s Simon and Garfunkel.

Jeg kan jo godt lide det, men jeg er ikke til det - det bliver lidt for meget 'af en tid' for mig, og 'af den tid' synes jeg, der er så meget bedre. Det er noget Crosby, Stills & Nash selv var pinligt opmærksomme på og derfor erhvervede de sig Young. Det aner jeg ikke om er rigtigt, men det forestiller jeg mig.

På trods af, at mit eget pointsystem er noget mere finmasket end det simple 1-5, der tilbydes, så er dette faktisk et album, der volder mig problemer. Mit hjerte siger 3 (og dermed >= 2.8), så siger mine ører mig <= 2.7. Det virker trivielt, men det er forskellen på 2 og 3 stjerner.

Jeg lader tvivlen komme den anklagede til gode og ikke mindst bør Long Time Gone honorere den flotte, tredje stjerne.

2.8

Better than Coldplay

i call everyone my goat but these are my goats of the folk revival

Helplessly Hoping was the stand out for me. Wasn't a fan of the album overall. 2.5/5. Raising to 3.

Very very pleasant, might go back to it someday. Someday.

Just like Deja Vu...really wanted to give this a 5 and would have if it weren't for Graham Nash.

Definitely one for summer.

One of those albums that makes me wish I was an American guy with a big truck that I drive down dusty roads with nothing around for miles.

a really easy lsiten, not fully my vibe but i can appreciate it

And this is from '69? 😏

I nice set of folky songs nicely sung.
I don't miss Young at all. His voice is too distinctive to integrate into the vocal harmonies of the other guys. Only dud on here is '49 Bye Byes', which just seems like afterthought filler.

Previously, I was only familiar with the first two tracks, which are extremely nostalgic for me. I had high hopes going into this albumc, and oh boy it did not disappoint. I'm torn between giving it a 4 or a 5, but those first two songs are just so goddamn good so fuck it it's a 5.

ok - so this passed me by until now.

First listen. Lovely vocal harmonies, that warm late 60s recording sound. Can see why some call it a link between Simon/Garfunkel and Beatles....its clearly from the same period, but it stands up on its own as well.

And as a long time hater of Neil Young's voice, I'm quite pleased to have found this first! I like this....you can almost picture an album spinning with this on in the background.

Will return to this one. 4
