wonderful review, although I would have mentioned "half day closing," which for me is absolutely the best track by Portishead.

I adore this album! It reminds me of my long-gone youth!

very good punisher

thank goodness they dissolved

absolute classic, wonderful also the reference to Jack London (one of my all-time favorite writers).

Damn grasshopper, your musical knowledge is truly encyclopedic. No way!

Few people seem to think about getting a thesaurus before writing a review...

a weak review for a piece of crap album. Self Esteem terrifyingly rips off Nirvana (that's really saying something, and for the reviewer, it would be a masterpiece. Well.....

Yes, Jerry, I was exclusively talking about that. I didn't delve into the musical aspect to avoid being repetitive, since surfer had just done a very comprehensive review on Deja Vu and everything that needed to be said about the sound of CSNY was there. I believe that during the period between '67 and '70, rock served as a factor of recomposition in a scenario fragmented by capitalist competition and war. It was thought to have radical cultural possibilities (think of a CSN song like "Chicago," extremely naïve in that sense). Unfortunately, that change did not occur. And the '70s were about to arrive, the years of the "great chill," the kind that hits those who discover that things are not what they seemed, and that illusions fade upon contact with adulthood. My metaphor referred to the fact that the message of love, brotherhood, and the need for justice that oozes from this album will soon be overlooked in a decade characterized by drugs, retreats into privacy, devastating political disappointments (from the continuation of the conflict in Southeast Asia to the Watergate scandal), failures, etc. Perhaps it was an exaggeration, but I see in the despair of a song like "Ohio" the specters of the '70s looming on the horizon. It’s probably just my fixation; in fact, I am morbidly drawn to Neil's records from the heart of that decade!
