CSN (studio album) by Crosby, Stills & Nash

It's a great album from CSN. If you're comparing CSN to their first two studio albums it's going to be shabby because of how good those albums were, but alone it is a solid album with more of an easy listening, soft rock feel. It falls right in the category of "yacht", and if you like that then you'll likely be into this. I couldn't give it an 82/100 so it gets an 80.

This was a reminder of their great debut album and the follow-up with Neil Young on board. Their music would never get that good again.

I do not any problems with this album, an underrated accomplishment. It must be the late 1970's music revolution that made this kind of music obsolete, to me, this is not obsolete, very usable even in the 2020s.

Its not on the level of their first two albums, but CSN is an enjoyable and cohesive effort. Although none of the songs reach the high points the self titled debut and Deja Vu hit. Graham Nash's contributions to this album are among the best songs. Its his works that stand out from the pack.

This record was highly anticipated and such a disappointment. Most of the songs are forgettable, musically it's like they weren't even in the same room.

It's not bad, but it's clear the magic is gone.

Decent album. While not as great as their earlier works ot still turned out to be a very diverse and interesting set. Graham Nash's songs are the ones that make the album. I got the chills the first time I heard "Cathedral".
