"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."
Average For CSN

""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."

"A good solid album fron CSN.A little spotty at times,But overall this album features some of their best work in years,especially song's like.It won'tgo away,camera,find a dream,and these empty days.Despite a couple weak song's it's definatly an encouraging boost from the album live it up."
It ain't bad, but should be a whole lot better

"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."

"I have almost all the recordings from CSN,CN,CSNY and this is a very good effort from these legendary musicians. True it is not their best but I think anyone who has enjoyed their misic over the years will agree this is a very good CD. Especially enjoyed
the songs by David Crosby and Graham Nash. It is definately
