Déjà vu

Sure, it's old dad music, but that's not gonna stop me from enjoying the cheesy sounds of 70s crap rock that's supposedly super influential. I mean, 'Our House' and 'Carry On'? Fun stuff, man.

Would be a 5 if it weren’t for a couple cheesy AF Graham Nash songs.

This was nice. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Neil Young led songs, and some of it was corny, but it was enjoyable to listen to.

I think “our house” is one of the best songs in the pop canon, I think “helpless” is also pretty great, and then there’s also the rest of the album!

One of those bands I tend to think of as too folksy for my tastes, but honestly this album was really great. Classic tunes.

One of my favourite albums! :)

It's my 100th album! It would have been cool if I'd got something I either loved or hated to mark this milestone, rather than something I thought was pleasant, but that's not Crosby, Stills, Nash or Young's fault. (Well, maybe Nash's - Our House and Teach Your Children are so pleasant they are verging on twee.)

First three songs: oh this is better than I thought it would be. Then, fucking Neil young. I have no idea what he brings to this band other than one of the whiniest voices in pop culture. Rest of the album 3, he brings it down to a 2

Enjoyed some of the CSN songs. The Y songs not so much. Harmonies were good.
For an album full of "hits" I only knew 'Our House' from some lame uncool adverts.

Better than the last C, S & N album. Some decent songs here. Still a bit hippyish for me.

A very OK dad-rock album. Not many high highs or low lows. Comfortably listenable. Neil Young was under utilized in the lineup. 3/5

Pretty good. Enjoyed it more than the Neil Young solo album. Personal favourites were Helpless, Woodstock, and Our House.

An all time classic to some but I think its just ok. Young certainly made the band more than what it should have been.

Improves upon the CSN debut in nearly every way, and the addition of Neil Young is inspired, and "Our House" never fails to make me tear up

tem umas boas, até. Almost Cut My Hair é pedradaça pra quem gosta desse estilo, pô
bem feito demais. tudo que os cara sabia fazê eles mandaro ver nesse album aqui. super bem produzido. eu gostei bastante até, tô bem surpreso.

Bastante sin más, pero está entretenido. No hay mucho más que comentar, recomendado si te gusta el rock de los 70.

Canción destacada: Teach Your Children

'And so, become yourself / Because the past is just a goodbye' ('Teach Your Children'); 'In my mind, I still need a place to go / All my changes were there' ('Helpless); 'They stop by to die because / It's faster than sinking' ('Country Girl'). Moments like these show just how excellent this album can be, but it's mostly a vague excellence, fleeting, not fully realized. The four seem to know what they are doing but not quite where they are going. Emotionally, 'Helpless' has it, I do enjoy the parodic (or is it sincere?) 'Our House,' and the driving 'Carry On' is a superb entry. But I'm not all that proud to wear my 'freak flag' listening to 'Almost Cut My Hair,' and 'Woodstock' isn't nearly Joni's best. A very good record, but in love with it I am not.

Just an astounding well composed album with a very silly and pedantic band name.

I’m at a 4.5 that I’ll bump up to a 5.

I don’t have that much to wax poetic about, honestly – this is just really good music, that finds itself right between the crossroads of late 60s folk/Americana & 70s dad rock, and somehow finds a really nice blend of the two that evokes the best of both, with a pretty strong variety of subjects & soundscapes to keep it all a pretty breezy, enjoyable and coherent 37 minutes. A few songs are a little stale at points (namely “Helpless” choosing to reprise most of the track), but it never lingers long enough to cause any issues with the album itself.

I guess the main reason I’m at a 4.5 is just because Neil Young’s solo (or at least, what feels like solo) tracks on this album feel really detached from Crosby, Stills & Nash – they’re not bad at all, and they’re a great showcase of his own talent, but they make the album feel just a little disconnected. There’s also a few tracks that feel a little too open lyrically, in a way that leaves them slightly too broad for my tastes. Still though, what’s here is too good to not bump up to a 5; the guitar riffs are on point, the vocal harmonies sound spectacular, and if nothing else, the feelings this album evokes from its instrumentals just have a timeless vibe. I really liked it, and I have zero shame in bumping it up to a 5. Pretty strong pick for my first CSNY album.

Great harmonies from the boys. I really enjoyed this.
