"Live It Up"

1990 Atlantic

 

 

PERSONAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS

The 11th of June 1990 in most fans' minds will be remembered as a very dark day indeed, for this is the day that CSN dropped the biggest glanger of their recording history.

This album is crap...I'm sorry, but as big a fan as I am I have to say this album sucks (to coin an Americanism). The cover is shit, as is the title song. One decent song from Crosby, co-written with Craig Doerge and Nash (Yours and Mine), one good song from Stills (Haven't we lost Enough?), co-written with Kevin Cronin (of REO Speedwagon..URRRRR) and one fairly good effort from Nash (House of Broken Dreams). The rest aren't worth mentioning...and so I wont!!

Yes, you've guessed it...this is my least favourite album of CSN. I don't know what they were thinking. Someone must have been having them on when they said 'Yeah guys, it's great...let's release it'. I had enough of a hard time justifying my love of the group to my friends without this bloody thing. Sorry guys but you had a bad one...everyone does at some stage in their career...never mind...things can only get better!!
