Didn’t like at all
this is so ass i'm so sorry
Meh
I keep thinking I made it through the worst of the "White Guy with an Acoustic Guitar" genre, but then another shows up and I keep getting disappointed.
todo guitarra lento. no cambia nunca el ritmo. zzzz
folk not for me
Too sad for me
not for me
Boring as hell
Well here’s Mr Sensitive. Again. The English Neil young? Folk’s Elvis Costello? Over rated under talented (not untalented). One album is enough. Given the lack of variety and the better players one album may be stretching it. We have people like Martin carthy John Renbourne, Davey Graham, Richard Thompson and we can stretch out to Jethro Tull. This is redundant. 2 stars with one taken off because I’m positive that were we not fetishising trauma and mental illness Nick would be playing small folk festivals to dwindling audiences.
Not for me
não me agrada.
tampoco
Nick Drake’s voice is really boring.
Didnt listen, hate everything folk
miserable dirge, every track sounded the same, whining self indulgent misery, well the 4 tracks I managed to bear.
Oh not this miserable git again. I'm on a run of duds at the moment, this one being the worst in 5 days. Was there really any need for 3 albums of his? Please say there's no more! This is only the second album of 357 that I've switched off.
meh
Slaapverwekkend. Stem is steeds hetzelfde.
boring
Didnt like it, too acoustic for my taste
I understand it, but it’s not my cup of tea. Way too slow and rambling for me
not my type of music, too slow and calm
just no
42. alright
Not my cup of tea, was literally listening it as a background music, sorry :/
Tää oli aika mitään sanomaton levy. Liian rauhallista mun makuuni.
Made ma anxious even tho it’s supposed to be relaxing
After reading a little about this album I was interested in how this would play out unfortunately, there weren’t really any stand out moments and it was pretty boring. Sad story about the artist, though.
Boring
Dull
I’m trying to be less conservative with my one’s. This just did nothing for me but fade into the background and then come to an end.
Musikk som forutsetter en viss stemning for å kunne nytes. Forestiller meg at dette er flott i tiden når sola titter frem og snøen smelter. Dessverre en rimelig kjedelig opplevelse.
Everything kinda just sounds the same I’m sleepy
Very dreary. Not for me.
Snore fest
Oh hell no.
No ty
Pretty bland
Not my cup of tea, I'm not in the mood for a bloomy album today
Don’t need to listen to this again in my remaining years
Nah, bit slow, soppy & sad for me
F-
Dosta dosadno i naporno, pogotovo na ovako umorno jutro. 1/5, 1/10
I dont like his vocals and i find it a bit peculiar how his songs all kinda sound like he is telling a story instead of singing, i personally dont think his music is for me but i also dont know if i say it's "Bad Music" if you can call it that
Chato demais
Just not for me. Don’t like his voice. Lyrics are lame and trite. Basically didn’t like anything about this one.
British Bob Dylan
It’s a testament to how vapid this album is that I completely forgot I listened to it on Friday. I recall him having a nice voice, but not nice enough for me to revisit it.
Boried
Nick Drake's music is just too folksy, too monotonous and boring for me to sit back and enjoy and thereafter say, 'man that was good music'. If this was the only music available to me whilst marooned on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere, I'd have hung myself from a palm tree ages ago. Not my style at all.
Two Nick Drake Albums in three days!?! Murder me. This guy scuks; see below. 1
Not my vibe
Nope
1/5
Not the best album to begin the week
I need some drums.
no
This was awful. I listened to almost the whole thing but had to give up. Just some moaning that’s supposed to be singing. 1 star
Boring, just bog standard boring.
I’m sure there’s a market for this album. Maybe for people with insomnia. Very boring, not my cup of tea
Ник Дрэйк совсем не моё. Оооочень спокойно...
Not my kind of music
Boring
Not for me
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
