Pink Moon

33/1001 Nick Drake’s Pink Moon feels very much like an unfinished and unpolished demo ready for a full recording session, which reading up on it, it sounds like it was the intention. A few of the songs like Things Behind the Sun, Parasite and From the Morning seem complete, while Free Ride seems close to completion, however, most of the rest of the album just misses something from the production. Some of the songs are decent and work in theory, but just lacks in execution, leaving me a bit disappointed. 3/5

Not the "Pink", and "Drake" we're used to in the 21st Century, but despite this being one of the shortest albums I've ever heard, it was soothing folk music. Favorite Song: "Road"

3.5

Some great songs - started and finished strong, but meandered in the middle

Enjoyed this. Early 70s Simon and Garfunkel esque 7/10

Didnt listen to it right now because i have heard it before and i quite like it. I do not return to it super often cause it is a bit bland for my taste but its a greqt album

Very folksy guitars. Very folksy singing. Very folksy songs. Very folksy album.

Some good some less good

There is no way there needs to be more than 1 Nick Drake album on this list... nevermind 3 of them. But a good (and melancholic as always) listen

Charming as usual

Not to my taste.

Raw and powerful, a historical look on how depression and anxiety were still prevalent in the 70's, just less discussed

Lyrics could use some punctuation. Without closed caption I'm not sure I could understand what it was all about. Not offensive and could listen to again.

Liked this one a lot more than I was expecting. Might throw it on in the morning next to my fireplace and coffee this weekend as the world freezes away

Fine

3- Stars (7/15)

Pink Moon sounds like a Laura Marling song and it’s good. He seems like a thoughtful guy. A guy with a guitar is likely not going to be fascinating upon first listen. The lyrics seem good when I catch them.

Opzich wel oke

very sad mood as an album, his voice is raw and the guitar adds such a personal feel to it. parasite is one of my favourites. not really the type of music i listen too though.

Some beautiful music and great songwriting, but not really my cup of tea as I like harder rock, with more upbeat music

genre: folk; cute nice background music

Sounded like most early 70’s rock. Good guitar, good voice, and somber lyrics.

Boy with guitar. Sweet but it kind of blended in the background for me. Stand-out: From The Morning

THREE STARS Liked the songs, especially the guitar. His voice was a little too whispery though.

Even with its repetitiveness, I appreciated the lyrics and melody.

I really liked the album cover! The songs were ok, kinda album you want to listen to at the end of a night out when you’ve had too much to drink but don’t want to go to bed yet

Really good songs for the mildly depressed on a rainy afternoon.

Once again, I’m generally up on this. His voice is pleasant and quite floaty, but I like it. The whole album is stripped back, but it has interesting guitar work and it’s quite evocative. It’s really nice. 3.5 rounded down.

Non offensive

I definitely heard of this first track on the album. Did not know this was Nick Drake.

Started off interesting, ended dragging. A few pretty stylistically abrasive tunes mixed in. Music that needs a specific mood

This was ok background music, surprised it's from the 70s. Nice guitars and vocals. 3* Highlight: from the morning

I like Nick Drakes earlier album Northern Sky which was posthumously reproduced to include percussion and other melodies. Pink Moon feels like an earlier peice of work. Only the title track left an impression.

Consistent album, maybe a bit repetitive, a bit poor in melody variation

Had quite a good time with this one. Really liked the first 3.

Good but nothing special

Ganska mellow. Inget jag kommer lyssna på igen skulle jag tro. Inte dåligt.

Not my personal fave but an easy listen.

Pleasant.

Um dos melhores folks acústicos que não conhecia.

Not my style but nice simple chill music

Nice album perfect for a Sunday watching the sunset.

Quick listen, but a calm one. Nothing really hit me, but it all sort of made me want to float away.

This was very pretty and had a warm and comforting vibe.

Started off great then slowly died from there. Nothing bad though

Lyrically, nothing special. But that acoustic guitar, man that was good. Very unique playing style I can't say I have heard before. Solid 7 out of 10 just for that.

Z tego czytałem, jest to swego rodzaju cult classic. I jestem w stanie zrozumieć, dlaczego uzyskał ten status. Mam w sobie dużo szacunku dla tego albumu, stworzonego praktycznie w pojedynkę (nie licząc producenta i reszty ekipy technicznej). Najbardziej uwagę przykuwa nietypowa gitara, o której Cichy już więcej mówił. Momentami jego strojenie (tony niskie są bardzo niskie, a wysokie pozostają na normalnych wysokich rejestrach) sprawiają wrażenie, jakby gość grał na dwóch gitarach jednocześnie. Bardzo imponujące. Nie jest to do końca mój typ muzyki, stąd tylko trójka, ale moje uznanie dla tej płyty jest na pewno na poziomie czwórki.

Short but sweet. It is rather simplistic, but that makes for a nice palate cleanser if you are a bit tired from the more experimental albums here.

Mellow. Reminded me of the precurser to Jack Johnson, James Blunt etc. Easy to listen to for sure.

Na

Not bad, a bit slow for the mood of the day. Good voice.

I can hear that Lou Barlow might have been influenced by Nick Drake. It's good. I have to be in the mood for it though.

This reminds me of Big Thief but ik this dude came before them. hmmmm interesting Its good, I just don't care? sorry bro good songs but not my style.

Not bad folk album

Melancolic but quite nice at places. Will probably return to this one at some point

very pretty and calm but never managed to move me 6/10

Third and final album by Nick Drake, fortunately it's also the last tine he will appear on this list for me. Still not my jam, I don't feel this music and certainly I dont enjoy listening to it. Tragic backstory doesn't change it too much.

Somber

Just not a fan

Nice sounding album. 3.5 stars

nick drake isn’t my favorite of his time and genre but i generally enjoy

Nick Drake is a bit of an acquired taste but I've been listening to his work for some time. Some good songs here and guitar playing that verges on acoustic blues at times. Very nice record.

Never heard of him. Unclear why he’s on the list, multiple times. But not bad. Easy listening but somewhat monotonous by the end.

Not my favourite Nick Drake but still beautiful.

Pretty one dimensional bordering on boring. Not quite sure of the huge appeal but thought it was perfectly pleasant. 2.5 Stars

Good songs, low energy

Not disagreeable.

Very bleak. A tad too dark for me.

Pretty, but Nick Drake songs start to blend together and sound the same in my opinion.

All these Nick Drake albums sound the same. It's fine, but just not for me.

Very mellow, but it works if you’re in the right mood for it.

It was fine, nothing specifically stood out.

Mellow

Good album for a cozy fall day.

Sounds just like Alexi Murdoch. Very easy listening with just strong vocals and background guitar. Will definitely be listening to more Nick Drake.

Not bad for background music but I couldn’t even tell when this album started over again. 2.5/5

Pleasant

peak depression folk. too sad

Overall it was fine, but that's really as far as breathy, whispery vocals and acoustic guitars can get you

Kaunis ja taas täykky syysalbumi. Biisit blendautuu toisiinsa niin kolme ⭐

Thought I would hate this because of the terrible cover and the fact I hadn’t heard of it before but I was pleasantly surprised! This is not the worst thing on this list! His voice is interesting and smooth and the tone of the music was calming

This is good, but it wears on me too quickly. I can only take the sound of his voice for a little bit before I start to fade out and feel depressed. 3 stars cause good lyrics

I found this album a bit boring but there were some nice moments of interesting guitar work

Enjoyed this one a few times. New to me. Chill laid back vibe.

Quite surprised this is a 1972 record, as it sounds very fresh. Mesmerizing.

So soothing. While it’s not my speed, his vibe and talent is awesome.

No private session used for Spotify. I knew the song "Pink Moon", skilled acoustic guitar with mumbling lyrics over the top. Not a bad vibe. This is the entire album, though. I might have heard more songs from this album, but I thought they were all Pink Moon. It's alright, but it won't be in rotation.

Another artist I had not heard of. I really liked the album

It's a name I've heard over the years, usually some rockstar complimenting ND on songwriting or something, but I've never really listened to anything he's done. I didn't know he went this far back to 1972! This is much more mellow than I assumed and his voice is more pleasant than what I know from the Bad Seeds days. I can see the draw to this album, I put it on and looked out the window at the beach & boats. Nothing mind-blowing or groundbreaking but enjoyable. The final 1/3rd of the album bottomed out and lacked any sparks. I am glad I had an opportunity to get introduced to older ND, but not sure I'd include this in a Top 1001 list.

Sleepy, but nice. 3.4.

Listened to this three times. The first time my reaction was - pretty good songs, wish the arrangements and the production was a little bit more so the beauty of the songs could be brought out a bit more. Second time my reaction was - wow, I don't think I realized how hook laden all these songs are. All of them feel familiar. Third time through - ok, I get it now, this is a real gem. I still wish I could hear a bit more of a dynamic arrangement and certainly a more dynamic vocal performance, but that's just because I think these could be great pop songs. As it is, the album is serene and savory, and it's absolutely going on the next time I want a quiet moment with someone special.

I liked it. Sounded like one long, chill song.

It's nice

Jag har försökt förstå storheten med Nick Drake tidigare utan att riktigt lyckas och nu har jag gett den här skivan rätt många genomlyssningar. Hans röst är rätt medioker och melodier/gitarr banala, om än absolut habila. Återstår gör då texter och den melankoliskt deppiga känsla han förmedlar, men för mig räcker inte det i sig för ett högre betyg än en trea. Kan inte låta bli att misstänka att han fått lite oförtjänt hype för att han dog tidigt.

Melancholy madness. But quite beautiful in parts

Really good Better than his other on the list High 3 slash 4

I don’t get Nick Drake. So much praise but I can’t remember anything about any of his songs. They’re ethereal, dreamy, but I remember plenty of dreams, not these ones. It’s fine, inoffensive, probably closer to really good. But who cares if it just exists like a flame and gets blown out. There’s a metaphor there for his life but blegh.

Levyn tunnelma lämmin ja turvallinen. Sopivaa taustamusaa siivoukseen ja kokkailuun, pyörittelin kolme kertaa läpi hyvällä boogiella.

Keskimääräistä parempaa muniinpuhaltelua. Hyvää akkarointia.

Nice but unremarkable

Felt very samey but liked the folk/Americana vibes.

La sua popolarità per me è un mistero

Music of a tortured soul. It’s introspective, low-key. You can certainly feel that this was written by a person who was struggling. Makes me feel guilty for not loving it, but musically it really didn’t do much for me, to be honest.

I liked the writing, the musicianship, and the meaning behind the songs. But, I didn't like his voice. His tone and enunciation were not good for me. Songs like Road and Which Will are great, as was Parasite. But the vocals made it hard for me to listen to.

Not bad. Old nick is starting to grow on me.

Two Nick Drake albums in a row! My previous assessment holds - this music feels like being on sedatives

An entire album of nick drake is a lot to ask of me. I find myself getting frustrated by his melodies and his voice. Beautiful lyrics to be fair.

Very relaxing. Quite enjoyable.

Fun but not for me

Couldn't tell this apart from Five Leaves Left, but enjoyed both, so 3 stars.

Fine

Chill. 3

relaxing

Such an intimate record. With just the acoustic guitar, his voice, and nothing else it feels like a friend playing music for you around a campfire. I was quite impressed by his guitar playing. It was so relaxing and full of skill.

I am guessing that this is an album that would really grow on you if you listened to it several times. After my first listen, my impression is that the lyrics must carry it. Musically, it is very basic and similar (to my untrained ear), but the sound is great, but I probably need to pay more attention to understand better why it is on the list.

to me, the purest form of music is a vocalist and an acoustic guitar. most of this album is exactly that, although i think one song had a piano. nevertheless, this was certainly an interesting listen.

Another melancholy album, but I liked it better than his other one and understand the melancholy better now.

Cosy acoustic album, some decent tracks

Ok

I discovered Nick through this 1001 thing with his debut album and wondered why I hadn't heard much of him, then I read the tragic story about his life. This album evolved a bit from the morose debut, but still you can hear and feel the depression in him. It is hard to listen in certain frames of mind, and others can be almost therapeutic. Favorite track "Pink Moon" 3/5

very chill, sounded like the precursor to what we today call singer songwriters? I liked this more than I expected.

Haters weren’t into it, but I think I liked it

Never heard of Nick Drake. Inspiration for Jack Johnson? I dig this one, nice chill vibes. This album might the first I added to my Apple Music that I didn’t already have.

This album reminded me of Coffee house music. Feel like I should’ve been sipping on an espresso while listening. First time listener of Nick and this album.. I enjoyed it and would be down to listen to more of Nick’s catalog.

My least listened to Nick Drake album. It's sparse and well crafted but somehow lacks the charm and intrigue of the 2 before it. However the lack of accompaniment does give it an extra haunted and introspective quality. One of the albums on the list that should be a lovely surprise for many since he only really found success in the late 90s, twenty years after his death. If you like this do check out his other two and maybe 'Bless the weather' by John Martyn.

Pretty good folk. Raspy soft voice. Acoustic. Buzzy guitar. Not bad. Worth listening to twice.

A lot of this sounded the same but he has a very soothing voice.

New artist for me and new album. I liked it and can imagine it would grow on me even more with further listening.

No. 200/1001 Pink Moon 3/5 Place To Be 3/5 Road 3/5 Which Will 3/5 Horn 3/5 Things Behind The Sun 3/5 Know 2/5 Parasite 3/5 Free Ride 3/5 Harvest Breed 3/5 From The Morning 3/5 Average: 2,91 I guess Nick Drake's music just isn't for me.

Io: dai sono contento che singer-songwriter sia nei miei top genres. Nick Drake: allow me to introduce myself. Con tutto il rispetto per sto poveretto mi dispiace ma proprio no, non basta essere un uomo solo contro il mondo con la sua chitarra per conquistarmi. Dopo il commento della marti sul gruppo ho provato a riascoltarlo ma onestamente no, non mi dice nulla di che. Comunque non merita un 2

A mood piece for sure. I think you have to be in the right mindset to really follow this piece. It's obviously deeply personal and there just being vocals and guitar, you're almost in the room with Nick. It was a difficult listen for me but I might try it again.

Not his best but still love his voice

the guitar is my favorite part of this by far. its basic, its stripped down, and its just a man and his guitar at its core. i could have used a bit more from Nick Drake when signing though. this was ultimately almost a four, but the limited singing kinda brought it back. perhaps it would grow on me... but for now its a three.

Early 70’s “guy with a guitar” singing introspective songs. And it’s all fine. In fact, I like it better than the previous album from Nick Drake. But neither of them are essential. The music is solid, the vocals are just ok. This is all pleasant enough, but I’d rather listen to Jane’s Taylor’s “Sweet Baby Names”, Jackson Brown’s debut, John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High”…. Or even Johnathan Edwards’ debut. Any of these are better. 3/5

Decent in places

Yay, more Nick Drake. Pink Moon is quite similar to the others we've had from him, it's a stripped back but skilled piece of composition filled with all the sadness and quiet desperation of someone who clearly struggled for a long time with a lot of problems. He had three albums and they're all on this list, I think we could've been just fine with one of them, as they're all much of a muchness, and all get a middling 3 from me. Things Behind The Sun is the best track on this record though, it's more rounded and lyrically engaging than the rest.

Very easy to get lost in, it's gentle, dreamy, the vocals are super airy (just like in the other two albums of his we've had), but this time there's not much other than him, his guitar, and the occasional bit of piano. Trouble is, it's so ethereal that I struggle to really focus in on what he's saying, which in such a light arrangement is a bit of an issue. That knocks it down from a high score to a 3, I think.

Started off strong but I zoned out pretty fast. Still, listenable album, just not something I can see myself listening to again. It’s just ok.

Ok.

Simple acoustic guitar and vocal accompaniment. Lyrics are short but have a poetic quality. Big themes of live and depression. 3.5

Kind of liked this one. Just happened to be a rainy day and this was a great accompaniment to the world at large. 3.5 Probably will listen again

Decent vocals. Beautiful instrumentation, but only came away with one song being “Place to be”, which was only on first listen. Don’t know if I’ll come back to the rest of the album. 6/10

Good guitar, decent lyrics, though tend towards the morose…

A nice chill indie rock album. Most songs sound like they could have been on the Garden State soundtrack.

It's never heard of Nick Drake before this album came up. I enjoyed it, very chill and minimal. Just a man and his guitar.

This was nice and calming but it all sounds the same. I was ready for something different by the end.

I don't like it very much, but I understand why lots of people do. Favorite song: Free ride.

Pleasant, nice for a beach bonfire, but kind of forgettable.

Reminded me of a folk singer I like. It was pleasant.

3.7 pleasant

Not for me today. Too mellow and melancholic. On another day I may have found this beautiful.

The songwriting is good. The vocals are flat and uninteresting in the first half but got better. Nice guitar throughout and relaxing. Wouldn't mind a relisten if it happened to come on but wouldn't seek it out to listen to it again.

I only know of Nick Drake because of Garden State. But I do like him. I mean it was okay... I don't mind listening to this on a lazy sunday morning or something but. It's only getting 3 stars from me.

ok. not memorable

Loved a few songs

неплохо. ощущается как кантри? весёлым и приятным, но текст довольно грустный что-ли. большая часть песен только пол гитару придает песням лёгкости наверное

Pleasant. Acoustic guitar and nice vocals. Haven’t been challenged yet. Like jack Johnson without the douchiness. Short, 28 minutes. Enjoyed it. Not sure I’d ever play it again

I just didn’t get into it. May have to give it another listen

Simple rock, maybe similar to Simon & Garfunkel Undergraduate style

- Had an insane amount of difficulty ever understanding what Drake was saying. But the vibe is nice and relaxing and I can see all of these tracks appearing as the opening song in an indie picture. - Nothing bad here. But I would not seek it out either. The stripped down nature of it all is nice.

average

Too many nick drake albums

Slow and mellow, definitely not my cup of tea but I can appreciate it.

If I had time, this one deserves another listen. I’d like to focus on lyrics.

Very English countryside but a dusky gloomy overcast weather

Good album but probably not something I’d go back to

I can finally put Nick Drake behind me. The bastard has been relentlessly haunting over me ever since starting this project. This is a lovely little album to listen on on a bank holiday Friday morning. Nick Drake has grown on me listening to all his albums, but I definitely like him best in Bryter Layter when there’s a bit more production to it. That’s the electric Dylan fan in me.

3.5

Very nice. If someone had asked me when Nick Drake was about I’d have said… I dunno, 90s? He fucking died in 1974!! Two years after this album. And he’d already retired! Turns out I was thinking of Nick Cave. Some lovely stuff, but also one track that is barely even a demo. Like, babe… just leave it off. Will appeal, I imagine, to fans of Dylan. (Bob Dylan).

The album is fascinating as a document of someone completely receding into himself until he fully disappears. There's a certain mystery to it: Drake's intonations are both hushed and emotionally opaque, as if he feels compelled to speak but cannot possibly articulate anything real and true. The end result is a half hour of beautiful, delicate songs that are almost impossible to connect to.

Not the album to listen to if you want to feel energized. It's very repetitive...like a long car drive. His voice is a good mix of Don McLean and Jack Johnson

The up front style goes well with the guitar, but ithe music tends to fade into the background, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's a vibe for sure.

Meh

Awesome voice and I did like it but if I was going to listen to this kind of music I think I would reach for a different artist first.

Divided

I said this a few hundred reviews ago, but this artist was really easy to listen to. If this was a club or coffee house, I would order another one or two to listen to the rest of his set....

You know what? Another nice album that receded into the background as I listened. When I happened to pay attention to the lyrics, though, I generally liked them.

It’s like one continuous tune.

Usually not one for folky solo acoustic stuff but this has some pretty interesting chords in it. Also notable for being the final album by a depressed recluse who OD'd at 26, and having influenced The Cure, REM, & others.

A good album, I liked the style of it.

Très relax, ont pourrais même dire un 🤏 peu plate

Pretty. I like the guitar work. But, and this is probably sacrilegious, I didn't take to his singing voice which is a bit weedy for me. It's that English Folk sound. However, I like Bert Jansch and I WANT to like folk music more so maybe I just need to be in the right mood or maybe it will grow on me

Liked it more than expected but will probably not revisit it

So I felt this was a beautiful album - but very one note. It's like hearing the same pretty song 11 times in a row. You can acknowledge it's beauty but not for 30 full minutes.

Audio quality of this album lacks low end. Good music but the feel is a bit hollow on the soundstage.

Микрофонил еще до микрофонс 7/10

Really good. Pink Moon is an amazing song. But the rest of the album did not blow me away. It was just good. Not amazing.

Enjoyed it more than I expected

Things Behind the Sun really was a revelation. Really beautiful song! I couldn’t quite get as much into the rest of the album, though. There were qualities in almost every song (except for Know, horrible song!) but something just didn’t click. Maybe it would be better if I hadn’t just started my holidays and weren’t in such a good mood.

Nunca tinha conseguido ouvir esse álbum inteiro por ter um certo problema com música folk, mas fiquei comprometido em ouvir por estar na lista e.. é um álbum ok, simplesmente não consigo entender música folk.

Varmasti sellainen levy, josta saa kamalasti irti, kun moneen kertaan kuuntelee - ei kuulosta ensikuulemaltakaan tyhjänpäiväiseltä mies ja kitara -kokoelmalta. Oletan sanoitusten olevan kiinnostavia. Kitara on nätti, vähän klassinenkin.

7/10

Good guitar. I like it, don't love it. 2.9.

Nice Sunday AM album. Chill vibe. Polished and solid.

It’s a unique voice and sound but the album is very repetitive

More pretty sad music. Not my thing.

Easy to listen to, but no songs stood out too much

Kinda sad. Nice acoustic play though.

Good for background music. Lyrics are pretty thin.

Nice mood, an easy album to listen to. Makes me wonder how many nice albums like that are out there, never heard widely unless someone highlights it.

I appreciate the cult status but Nick Drake never really did it for me. Perhaps it's a bit too eerie for me

Straightforward folk. Fine

Nice smooth sound but not my style.

Very minimal, but nice if you want a quiet short album. Just a guitar and voice.

Was ok. Doesn’t matter what era we are in or come from there’s always 10 guys that sound like this.

Música tranquila para por ejemplo conducir Buen álbum.

3,.... ni fu ni fa

British Bob Dylan?

Pretty okay. Is that even a review?

Another new-to-me find artist. Very easy and enjoyable.

I feel like I had a shadow memory of this album, I recognised the album cover(of which I am a fan) but I had no idea what to expect in terms of the genera of the album as I didn’t read the context before listening. As I’m currently in Stockholm I couldn’t listen to the album in full but I enjoyed what I listened to so far. I’m not sure how often I will listen to it regularly but I know that this album will definitely grow on me.

Was nice listening. Interesting to hear some of the chords and arpeggios created by different tunings. Not so unique now but at the time must have been pretty different to hear. Hearing notes lower than E for bass notes in the picking pattern was haunting to hear at times

Solid

I had heard a few of Nick Drake’s songs previously and really liked them, but after listening to Pink Moon in full, I think his music works better for me if I hear an individual song in the wild or on a playlist. Sorry if that’s sacrilegious… it’s just not a favorite genre of mine, but certainly one I can appreciate on the surface.

-poprilično monotono i jednostavno, no ovaj album spašava mekan i topao glas kultnog kantautora Nicka Drakea - aranžman većine pjesama sastoji se od akustične gitare te njegovog glasa kao drugog instrumenta -pjesme često vrludaju te nemaju izraženu poantu i album se preklapa u jednu veliku cjelinu NAJDRAŽA PJESMA: Pink Moon NAJGORA PJESMA: Know 5.5/10

Really mellow. Good for background music.

Relaxing 3/5

Thank God the songs were short... reminded me of Jack Johnson...but JJ is much more soothing to listen to. Sorry not a fan... 😏😏🤔😒....

Brother needs some mucinex, but I like how mellow it is. Piano on title track is calming and sets the tone for the record. Songs blend into one another like warm summer nights in the central coast giving rise to the next day. Listened to it pretty quick so first take I’ll be generous

Yay, okay now we're firmly in folk territory...pink moon was sweet & simple, I want to call it a ditty. I am getting wafts of Fleet foxes & Hozier. Kinda sounds like a guy with his guitar gently messing around with some chords by a fireplace... This is about him processing his time, not about performance... Norwegian wood/ Beatles vibes. I like it for wintertime.

Good listen but not one that I would revisit often.

Basically just singing over an acoustic guitar. Lyrically it is nothing special but there is something beautifully simplistic about the album. It’s definitely not an album that would be in my regular rotation but it certainly has its place. Which Will was the highlight of the album for me. I also really enjoyed Horn. 3/5

Surprised this was 1972

Muy suave folk britis

I was today years old when I first listened to Nick Drake (despite many recommendations!) Fantastic album. Total melancholy

Despite this album only being a few years older than the Five Leaves Left album we pulled a month or two ago, he definitely sounds a bit older/more rough around the edges. Becoming a fan of his delivery

Pretty mid I guess. Cozy acustic guitar songs and an really chill vocals.

Very relaxing

A little folky

A few familiar songs and enjoyable, yet most others are repetitious.

Well not exactly a toe tapper. Music was good and it helped to appreciate it more by reading the back story. He seemed like a troubled soul trying to use his music to cope with life.

Really loved the guitar and background music. His voice pairs really well with it but I didn’t focus a lot on the lyrics. Will need to give another listen to full appreciate those.

Really solid record. Listened to it twice in a row. While I can’t say there was a standout song, the album washes over you. Love the stripped down nature of it. I’ll probably revisit this in the future. 3.5/5

Normally I don't have a problem with depressive music, but this album is too depressive even for me.

It’s fine. Heard it a lot.

Mid

Sounds like a man living in a lighthouse

#70. Put this on the list with Rocky Horror Picture Show for cult classics that I really don't understand why. It's fine, I guess. Nothing special though. 3/5

Profondo intenso

The voices are a little weird but the instruments are good

cry me a river

Pretty easy listening. Nothing bad but nothing particularly great.

Short and sweet.

Gemütlich, nachdenklich 3.4

Okay 3

Melancholic/Acoustic vibes. personal top3 in no order: Road Horn Harvest Breed

Mellow and good. Decidedly a product of it's time. As with many of these albums I probably won't come back to it but I'm glad to have experienced it.

This was a pleasant folkie/coffee house chill album from an artist I had never heard of before. I can see coming back to this some time and checking out more from this artist. Favorite tracks include: Things Behind the Sun, From the Morning, and maybe Know.

Fine. A three. Feel like some of this has been picked up in the popular media over the last few years???

Nothing really memorable here for me

Very pretty and spare and not nearly as difficult as I expected. Lacks substance, so is quickly forgotten, but a pretty listen and clocking in under half an hour.

calming, soothing, relaxing. deep but at the surface, very expressive.

50 years prior to every new artist from the PNW sounding exactly like this

Like it

3.5. Need to listen again

dreamy, a specific mood tho

it's misrable that his songs were reassessed after his death like Gogh. I feel the vibe of George Harrison and bit of west american.

C+ Pink Moon 3 Place to Be 3 Road 3 Which Will 3 Horn* 3 Things Behind the Sun 4 Know 2 Parasite 3 Free Ride 3 Harvest Breed 2 From the Morning 3 The Nick Drake trilogy is great.

Started good.

Non mi ricordo, bello?

Um bom álbum, porém não é muito meu estilo.

Melancholic-folk from a man with a strange accent

Excellent acoustic guitar. Nice background listening

It was a nice, dinner party type album. I enjoyed it. I have to be in a certain mood to listen again.

Parasite is my favourite, but all in all not really for me. Great artwork

Kinda nice but very background and didn’t even notice when album looped on repeat

Gentle, easy music. All a bit similar, but still fairly nice to listen to.

Really enjoyed Pink Moon, couple of other songs are okay, but not an amazing album for me.

so sweet, usually this kinda music is too quiet and chill for my taste but this guy felt like he had something to say, and his story is so sad, parasite, free ride, and others too, would prolly listen to when sad

I listened to it in the morning and was gonna rate it 2. but then at night I went to the park and sat down in the grass and listened again and now I rate it a 3

old but chill a vibe

feels like what indie started as

I don't get it

Fairly good... rather slow. Not the best slow music out there.

I hate that you can't do decimals bc this falls around a 3.5 for me but I can't quite justify rounding up. I like it but nothing sticks out to me as like INCREDIBLE or anything

Suoraan mun akustiselle listalle. Ei mitään ihan parasta, mutta kuiteskin ihan hyvää akustista, mikä sopii taustamusiikiksi.

There's some lovely stuff here, mostly in the very spare guitar passages and some choice vocal lines. At times it dips a bit into the Jack Johnson easy listening territory that is a bit teeth clenching, but I don't think I'd ever be upset hearing this. Fave track: From the Morning

Interesting. Guitar is very well recorded.

Sweet and gentle and there’s charm in voice and guitar. A talent but not an artist I tend to gravitate towards.

Fun fact: If you're reading this, you should listen to Molly Drake if you never have before. Album #4. I've felt extremely spoiled with the albums I've been provided the past few days, which may contribute to this one's (surprisingly) more average rating. However, I claim that it perhaps isn't the best place to start with this artist's work, and while Drake's guitar playing is extremely effective in its textures and percussiveness, I found myself unexpectedly wishing for a stronger melodic strain. That said, the combination of emotions and talent are impossible to deny, and I hope that I'll get to review his other albums for this project.

hmmm campground type music. too bad i FUCKKING HATE CAMPING. i think my favorite song was free ride, otherwise it was nice probably wouldn't put it on again. album art is neat

I liked free ride the most. Generally enjoyable. 3/5

Jag har länge ogillat Nick Drake eftersom mitt ex, som var en hemsk människa, älskade Nick Drake. Det här är nog första gången någonsin som jag har dragit igenom ett helt album och det var, inte helt oförväntat, mycket bättre än vad jag trodde. Det blir lite enformigt och tråkigt dock, men överlag bra lyssning. Kanske...3,5 av 5?

Zoned out for the whole thing. Clearly wasn’t anything that notably bad or great then

Very good! Gentle and pretty, though the stripped back feel felt a little one note at time. Though it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. Enjoyed it.

Goed, maar net niet voor in de stemming, dus dat kost Nicky een sterretje.

I can’t believe Drake made this album in one day. He definitely could’ve become one of the GOATs of folk

A bit dull

Heard before. That cover stays with me. Can't get into it that much, but I stay for the story behind the making of. + Horn + Know + Parasite + Harvest Breed

Iha jees!

Okay, but dull.

digging the following tracks: - pink moon - place to be - things behind the sun - harvest breed not a huge fan of some of the other tracks - the album cover is cool though... turns out it's one of these cult albums, dude died super young, had depression, etc.

I listened to most of it and it was pretty good

I really enjoyed this album. It has some really nice first riffs and lyrics

Alright album. Reading his Wikipedia page gave some interesting context to it. Gentle enough to be decent background music but could potentially put you to sleep. Favorite track: Free Ride Album art: 4/5

Mysigt

Väldigt bra och mysigt album Bästa låt: Things behind the sun

Good music for reading. Weirdly romantic. Reminds me of Garden State/HIMYM soundtracks. Overall a little too samey, a little too precious, but very pleasant the whole way through. 3/5

I thought it was funny that I got Erykah Badu's "Mama's Gun," which has a song called "Orange Moon," right before this. This album is nice and pretty I guess. Didn't really keep my attention. Did not like the title track but the rest was pleasant enough.

68/100
