Editorial Reviews

Crosby mocks himself winningly on Camera, and Nash, the old smoothie, is in fine form for "Find A Dream" and "Unequal Love." Only Stills spoils the party, trotting out the hackneyed hot licks and topical lyrics for deadweighters like "Bad Boyz." --Jeff Bateman

4.0 out of 5 stars I like this CD, April 2, 2007

By	A Fan (VA) - See all my reviews

I like this CD! While it is not as good as their early stuff, I think it is better than anything they released in the 80's and 90's. My favorite song is "It Won't Go Away"; while it is typical preachy Stills, it has a great hook to it. Not sure why it didn't get some airplay on classic rock stations. "Find A Dream" and "These Empty Days" recaptures the classic CSN harmonies of old. "Street To Lean On" while it is also preachy may be Crosby's best work since "Almost Cut My Hair". If you are a CSN fan I think you will enjoy this set.

3.0 out of 5 stars Average For CSN, January 3, 2007

By	Steven Sly (Kalamazoo, MI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"After The Storm" is a very average CSN album. The songwriting and performances are all good, but they do not match up with the best stuff these guys have done. There is not much that really stands out here and not much that really sticks with the listener. The high points are few, with David Crosby's "Camera" being the best cut on the album. Stephen Still's guitar playing is another bright spot and he really lights it up on several of the tracks. Overall this is not a bad disc, but far from essential.

3.0 out of 5 stars It ain't bad, but should be a whole lot better, August 11, 1999

By A Customer

I saw these guys play a couple of these tunes live before this record came out. Stills did a ripping, inspired version of "It Won't Go Away" on acoustic guitar that clearly had the audience as surprised as it was pleased -- Old Steve still had it in him! Nash and Crosby did "Unequal Love" and "After the Storm" at Carnegie Hall in '93, and they were sublime. Unfortunately, this album doesn't capture the wonder of those live performances, and we're left with another mediocre outing from these three. I agree with the guy below who says they should just bag the heavy production, get out their guitars and sing some good songs.
