Five Leaves Left

Old acoustic guitar rock

Definitely a ‘60s vibe. Really mellow, although I didn’t recognize any songs.

This album commits the cardinal sin of being plain boring - while some of the compositions shine, the overall woodland meadow vibe can hardly save the LP given how little vocal range Drake uses.

nostalgico tranquilito

A bit too mellow for my taste

Chilled out listening. Instrumentals and guitars. Nick's voice is really good. Takes me back to the good days of songs being sung.

Great listen

Very one-note. Nice background/chill music. Nothing revolutionary.

Beautiful, brooding. Relaxing yet depressing? I love the instrumental arrangements!

Last song a banger

Did music start getting good in 1975?

Great album by Nick Drake. Not much needs to be said, folky yet still very modern

Pretty good, a nice chill vibe.

Beautiful guitar melodies and soft voice. Will listen again.

Sounds like a Wes Anderson movie

A friend has been trying to get me into Nick Drake for as long as I can remember because he's obsessed with him. I've tried so hard and it just doesn't happen. It should, everything about him is right up my alley, but it just doesn't work. It's the voice, it's far too monotone, he drones on. It's a shame, those who like him really adore him, like some kind of religion. I do not attend the church of Nick Drake.

Folk as folk can be. A bit slow and need to be in the mood for it. Needs another listen with attention paid to lyrics and arrangement.

boring

Very mellow, very cool.

This album was a pretty interesting folk album. Day is gone has a stairway to heaven sound to it. I also liked the song fruit tree.

Really pleasant listening album

classic nick drake album

Really good, happy to have learned about this guy, I didn't know him. Because of this, he deserves my first 5 stars!

love Nick Drake! I'm a sucker for that vibe

Reminds me of Donovan a lot. Nice discovery!

Nick Drake is amazing, and this album is the perfect tool to level you during a stressful day.

I prefer the stripped back beauty of Pink Moon more, but this is still great.

sad , slow, chill , i already got a lot of sadness dont need more

I thoroughly enjoyed it. The entire album is a mood.

I can hear how he went to influence artists like Jose Gonzales, Jack Johnson, Shawn Mullins and basically anyone with an acoustic guitar

The album was not able to communicate with me. It's calming though. Might be John Mayer's influence.

Some nice songs but a bit slow for me

Good! but not on the same level as pink moon.

I really liked this album. It reminded me of Iron & Wine and Alexi Murdoch.

Quiet, reserved, almost mystical sounding folk. Love the strings, the guitars, and the vocals are quiet, not too dynamic, but they’re still very melodic and I feel like I’m hanging on every word. Feels like a mystic dream or a dark fairy tale. Really enjoyed this and will come back

Mellow and relaxing - zoe may like

song writing genius, gone too soon

Vocais e violões com muita sensibilidade. Melhora a cada audição. Ouvir com Grado RS2e

Nothing much to note.

I'm starting to suspect that Nick Drake might have been one of the greatest songwriters the world has ever seen. His early death at 26 robbed the world of something great. These songs are heartwrenchingly beautiful. Their dark sadness offer a window into the heart and mind of a man who overdosed on anti-depressants. He just wanted to feel better. Absolutely heart breaking.

This guy is very talented and appears to be very sad. Best track: River Man

My mind always connects Nick Drake and Bob Ross for some reason. Both are calming, pleasant, and highly regarded by some following. But both I’m just kinda indifferent to

Calming

I've adored this album for a while, and this listen was no different. Nick Drake is really on a whole 'nother level.

:(

1969. Key Songs: River Man, Saturday Son, 'Cello Man

3.5/5. Very melancholy, good after an emotionally exhaustive day. Not particularly my favorite genre. Standout Tracks: The Thoughts of Mary Jane, Saturday Sun

Gorgeous album.

4,5/5

Hopeful sadness.

Pretty strong debut, but Bryter Layter and Pink Moon are better. Closer to a 3.5

Very pretty, I liked this

Good chilled out summer vibes. Fit the mood.
