Five Leaves Left

No thanks.

I've never listened to Nick Drake before but I know some people love him. Unfortunately I'm not one of them. I gave up on this dreary rubbish after 4 tracks. 1 Star for his pleasant voice.

I'm not impressed. I get that he is a talented musician, but I don't get the point. I'm not turned on by any of it. It sounds like every other '60's era folk/pop. Nothing notable. My rating: 1/5

Unfortunately, this completely passed me by to the point where I could make no specific remarks of anything I liked or disliked. Just a neutral and uninteresting album overall, in my opinion.

Really boring

Na...

Man I was not vibing with it most of the time, nice voice though

Reminds me of Donovan. Real soft Nick.

Second Album généré après "Pink Moon". Je trouve ce nouvel album encore plus ennuyeux ... Les morceaux sont longs et tournent en rond. Même pas de petits chorus pour changer un peu. Il n'échappe pas à la note minimale : je ne suis pas allé au bout, je me suis arrêté pendant 'Way To Blue', détestable avec son orchestration classique. =>1/5

Didn't even make me want to continue listening to it after 2 songs

not my genre, skimmed it; 0 rating

What I’m hearing is depressing hippie music so far. 3 songs in. Nice guitar playing. Not big on the voice. Good lyrical story telling. Way to Blue sort of shook this album from its monotone downfall but just musically. There’s still that one tone, weak note carrying vocal Is Nick Drake a poet turned singer? If not, he should have taken that route. That makes his lack of vocal range more acceptable. I don’t see the appeal with this. Maybe as an instrumental album it could have some standing with me. I’m sure this is a critically acclaimed album, hell, I recognize the album cover. It’s just not ear hole pleasing for me. Choice cut: Day is Done

Albumet är som så många konstverk i kommunhus. Då beskedlig och timid att den inte lämnar något intryck alls.

Meh

V boring

60’s

This is just boring sleep inducing music. Just lacking in personality. The UK really thinks they're musicians are way better than they actually are.

So boring

Not my cup of tea.

Previously rated: Bryter Layter (2/5) ********************** I just heard my first Nick Drake two days ago. It was not quite a 3. Let's see if he has grown on me in that time. No, no he hasn't. This album has less of everything except his annoying singing and his admittedly good acoustic guitar playing. Less orchestration, less jazzy stuff. The only song I thought was even decent was the last track, Saturday Sun.

I knew I hated this the moment the first track started

Folk No! Such 60’s era nonsense. Pretentious, acid fueled sleep sounds. Hangman missed the mark here.

I knew I would hate this from looking at the album cover.

- I’m really not a fan of his voice -I physically cannot listen to this whole album I am so so sorry

fuck me this is dull

Did not care for it

Didn’t really listen to this properly but I mostly hated what I heard of it.

Boring 60s folk

Uninspiring.

What is it that I'm missing about this guy? Why do people like him, why are there so many of his albums on this list?

- I can see the vibe, but it isn't for me

They're ok

Too slow

definitely not for me

I feel like I would like this album if I heard it at a different time of my life. Maybe it is because I read about his life, or I am in a weird place, but I can't stand this music. I barely made it through the album. Right now it is just super depressing. Not sad in a nice way, just straight up makes me feel depressed.

Three fucking albums of this guy in the list? get out of here

This one really did not connect with me at all. I know Five Leaves Left is widely regarded as a beautifully delicate folk record, but I found it slow and difficult to engage with. The stripped back arrangements and hushed tone never really build into anything, and I struggled to stay invested. Nick Drake’s voice, which many people find intimate and haunting, just does not work for me. It feels too subdued and never quite lifts the songs. As a full album, it drifts rather than grabs. I can appreciate the craft and the influence it has had over the years, but as a listening experience it left me cold. Favourite song: I genuinely could not pick one Least favourite: The overall sound just did not land for me Album artwork: Understated and moody, but not something that stands out for me

cheer up lad

This all sounds very serious, and frankly a bit self-indulgent. Got a bit monotonous after a while too. There's only so much one bloke and a guitar can do (unless you're Hendrix). The lyrics didn't really grab me, and without that, there wasn't much here for me.

💤💤💤💤

Not my thing

Wenig interessanter Folk Pop.

boring ass album

Boring, generic folk with a hint of blues. Doesn’t have much to say.

If pretentiousness made an album, it would sound a lot like this.

Folk music just isn’t my jam apparently

ugh

Nope. Way too nerd folk

There is something almost mystical about the ability of northern Atlantic folk singers of the sixties to distract audiences so completely with pretentious poetry that no one seemed to notice how utterly uninteresting the music was. It is no small feat to make an entire album of music devoid of energy and excitement. Is unadulterated earnestness enough to make music interesting? No. It is not.

Ballades tranquilles, un peu trop à mon goût même. Musique de sieste.

Definitely the iconic 60's sound; nothing unique or engaging for me.

Flat. Forget now.

thanks I hate it

Boring

OMG so boring I had to stop

Smooth laid back folk

My Top Songs: Saturday Sun If the whole album was like the last song would have been a much better vibe, album wanted to make me sleep and not in a good way. Was made in 1969 so what can you expect. :)

Dull and one note.

Some people just like plain vanilla ice cream with no toppings. That's fine...you do you. But it's nothing to get excited about in the least. This album was the equivalent.

Meh

too sad for me at this time

Album notes: No es mi género pero hubo unas canciones que me hicieron sentir una paz. 1/5 Song notes: La primera canción "Time has told me" me hace sentir que habla de una relación que no es sana, que sabes que llegara a su fin y solo el tiempo te dirá cuando. -"Someday our ocean will find its shore". La canción "Day is gone" tiene un aire melancólico que me gusta. "Man in a shed" habla de un hombre que vive en un cobertizo y de una mujer que lo hacía sentir de todo, pero que vivía en un gran casa. La frase "Please don't think I'm not your sort, You'll find that sheds are nicer than you thought" me encantó. La canción "Fruit tree" nos cuenta lo que es la fama y de una vida que se cosecha como tal.

No

Boring

Tulee mieleen lähibaarissa soittava "taiteilija", jonka keikasta yleisö tuntuu olevan ihan fiiliksissä, samalla kun itse saa kokea kaikki ylemmyydentuntoisen halveksunnan ja vihan tuomat nautinnot.

This was extremely boring!

This album was not for me. As I listened to it no as I type, I feel like I’m going to drop into a coma. It’s just one full song. I can honestly feel my eyes getting heavy, I think I am going to ksksskxjxnjxnxnxnzjzmzmkxkxkxjxnxjxjj n n n nxbxjskakzkzkkxkzkxhcnxjxnxnzjzjjzjxjx

Not good

ughhhhh i did not enjoy a single second of this album, i understand that there are different music styles but this is so slow and quiet and sad and boring i’m sorry.

The first return of the Nick Drake. It’s literally the same album as the last this guys ass

Nä bu. Tråkigt.

Zzzzzzz....... *

:/

boring af

Album sucked dick

Nop, para nada es mi estilo.

Rubbish

Sucked. I'm sorry nick drake died young, but he said "time has told me" forty times in that first song and I not only disliked it, but I began to feel a rage growing deep inside. Had to turn it off or I might have gotten violent.

Not really my style of music but I’m optimistic

I know this is a good album. It being on this list supports that, but I did not care for it. Too bad he dies so young.

Didn’t like this one

Sad and boring

Pas réussi à dépasser la 3e chanson

1969 Love the album art lol RIP Nick Drake Top 3 tracks: 1. Fruit Tree - nice sounds all around :) 2. River Man - highlights: lyrics, soft melody 3. Way to Blue - string accompaniment, bridge
