Muy aburrido de escuchar

Not really my idea of english rock

Extremely dull

Glad this one is short.

The backstory about this guy is really sad. It would have been interesting to hear his music had he lived longer. This particular album exhibits all the melancholy that apparently held a tight grip on him.

Not bad

Painfully boring

Umm, this was fine. Doesn't seem that interesting to me, but it's certainly not bad.

mehhhhhhh Light 4

Simple akustische Gitarre ist zwar nice aber ich bin kein Fan von seinem Gesang, deshalb höre ich das Album auch nicht fertig (ich rate es als mein 20. Album, obwohl es als 1. generiert wurde lol)

Una guitarrita demasiado tranquiloni y aburrida. Nada que ver a su otro disco. Es como 'Into the Wild' de Eddie Vedder pero mucho más aburrido.

Folk. Cantautor con guitarra. Rollo. Un 2.

Decent

Meh, very vanilla music in my opinion.

So boring

Not very good. His voice is kind of annoying, and the guitar feels out of place sometimes. Title track is pretty good, so as "Parasite." The lack of any back beat makes it feel empty.

It's a Nick Drake album. It's sad. It's minimal. Exactly like the 2 other Nick Drake albums on here.

bit twee, overall not for me

It’s nice and subtle just not anything crazy

Not my taste in music, nothing notible

A whole lot of nothing

I swear we've already listened to this. It's just as boring as the other album.

# 179 : Pink Moon by Nick Drake. Nothing special, and rather quiet dull. Overall a singer songwriter album that has nothing to recommend it. There's better stuff to listen to out there. Fav Track : Place To Be

I would maybe give it a higher rating if I had been able to stay awake...

It’s fine. There’s the song for that commercial (probably many commercials)

Mostly a guy with a guitar, who can sing, but it is all the same

The only good thing was the length

Kind of forgettable. James Taylor esque. No songs stood out to me. Beautiful guitar though.

2/5 calm but bad music

Was this album just one long song?? It was a bit too one strum rhythm heavy, and that got Birmingham quite quickly.

Very similar sounding all the way through

Couldn't get into this

Too bleak for me to finish. Music wasn't that bad, but my God it was depressing

This is in the Scrubs soundtrack. I'm sure of it.

Pleasant little song length album.

boring af ngl

Quality songs and beautiful playing - albeit not my cuppa.

Fine for what it is, I just don't imagine I will return to it.

Mostly acoustic, mostly folk. Pretty in places, but mostly boring. Rating: 2/5 Playlist track: Pink Moon Date listened: 28/01/24

This one just didn't really phase me. Which is quite sad, because the lyrics really are beautiful and the melodies and harmonics soothing, but everything is just so understated. Voice, delivery, instruments, composition, tone, .... This album feels like a beautiful picture, but undersaturated to a point that it looks almost black and white.

Strumming like Richie Havens. Not my favourite but someone who should have had many years ahead of them to grow their talent.

I expected to like this a lot but.. I just didn’t.

Love the vibe, just a bit too chill for me

Not my cup of tea, couldn't/didn't finish. Would not listen again.

Great title track, the rest didnt do much for me

One great song, one good one and the rest just sort of blended together.

A bit of a Dave Matthews sound.

Many songs sound the same. In the same key

2/5 zzzzzzzz

Not my speed but very chill Fav song: Things behind the sun (the dissonance in the notes was beautiful to hear)

gejoza, jakis taki country pop i wgl ziomek spiewa smutas taki slabe

Cute but little boring

It didn't capture my attention at all. Useful as background music, but nothing else for me.

There were like one or two songs I enjoyed, but it didn't interest me.

Jack Johnson guitar playing on lithium. Peter Gabriel vocals with zero emotion. Beautiful but dreadful. Not my thing. Reminds me of that one guy at the beach bonfire, high on acid, playing music that only 1 guy is listening to. Glad it was only 28 min long.

Things behind the sun was alright but the rest of it was fairly monotonous strumming with droning singing over the top

Not offensive but sent me to sleep

Guitar centric, calm yet sad music. Relaxing to listen to for sure. The instruments are pretty shallow/singular. Reminds me somewhat of bluegrass music.

Generic playing, and sounded like he was getting some buzzes on his guitar in several of the songs. Didn't love it.

Sehr intimes Album eines jungen Gitarristen, der kurz darauf verstarb. 2,5

I'm not sure what the fuss is about. Some of the melodies are chilled and laid back but I'm not completely convinced of Nick Drakes voice. I find it a bit bland. The music has a certain atmosphere about it but the production is a bit, well, 70's and just a bit lacking.

Quite chill reminds me of parachutes Coldplay. All the songs kind of blend into one

Oh great. Another instalment of depressed Norah Jones.

A little boring, nice plucky guitar, soft voice. Not really grabbed by the melody, some words stand out, but not something I'd want to listen to again. Sorry Nick Drake, this album is not my cup of tea.

Some intricate lyrics, but not a lot to really grasp me.

Have often heard about this album and Nick Drake. Glad I finally listened to it but probably won’t be a frequent relisten

It's a solid album, but totally not my thing.

This would've been alot better had I understood a single word sung at any point. I wanted to like it but if you mumble the whole time I don't know what to tell you. 4/10.

A bit too soft and whispery for my tastes. Definitely picked up on the second half. The stretch from Know - Free Ride were more dynamic.

This one gave me campfire vibes. Not necessarily a bad thing. To me it means that it can be put on for background noise in specific settings. I wanted to skip ahead to the next song but it would be the same damn guitar rhythm and tone with the next song. It felt like it never truly went anywhere. Over all as of right now I give it a 2.5 rating.

I didn’t even notice when the album ended because it all sounded the same. Not my cup of tea but i can recognize a talented guitarplayer 2/5

Not my style necessarily. I ended up zoning out in the middle and had to restart the album. However, his voice is wonderful & haunting and I enjoyed the title song.

I can tell that if I liked this style of music I would enjoy this, but it really isn’t my style.

Maybe I just wasn't in the mood to be sad and bored.

Dreary in a way that is monotone and overall flat feeling. The one ambient song Horn was a reprieve

Asså helt ok, ibland rätt så mysigt men som en helhet rätt tråkigt. Efter andra låten fattade man att han kunde spela gitarr och nynna lite för sig själv

Väldigt enformigt med bara sång och gitarr. Han hade cool röst men låtarna förstörde. Favorit: From the morning

Not for me, Sorry Mr Drake

Mostly a way to show off good guitar technique, at the expense of musicality and feeling.

Super soft, but not really my style.

Not much going on for me here. Maybe the lyrics are beautifully poetic or something, but after a cursory listen (or two) if felt a little basic.

Folk. Cantautor con guitarra. Rollo. Un 2.

Tough, songs are often quite beautiful, but do not like his voice. Prefer e.g. North Marine Drive by Ben Watt any time. Because of my hatred for his singing just 2 stars

i dont have much to say other than to echo my last nick drake review

I really tried with this one but I find it so wildly boring. Maybe I'd relate more if I were going through a period of feeling intense unrequited love, but I'm not.

Too soft, need a super chill vibe

Beautiful lyrics but not a big fan of the vocals. Sonically, the songs started to feel a bit repetitive.

I don't think I realized the first song ended before the album was over. Snoozefest for sure with no variety at all.

If John Mayer and Jack Johnson melded together they would be this guy, which I guess means Nick Drake was ahead of his time, but seeing as I dislike both of those guys this album didn’t do it for me at all.

Rien à faire, pour moi ce sera toujours ennuyeux... Sans pouvoir mettre le doigt sur la raison. Juste de l'ennui.

Too jazzy

Oh I don't know. I dislike this form of music so intensely that I can't judge whether St Nick is actually any good at it. Two stars.

So, this is like José González, before José González was even born?! It's very good so far, nice guitar playing and singing. Everything so far just seems to meander along nicely and then come to an abrupt end. Seems a bit strange, or I'm not listening right, it's been a funny day. Free Ride has stood out for me, I like the droning strings and then the sliding guitar stabby bits along with the vocals. Nice melody. It's a nice album, but nothing really happens, so I can't give it any more than 2 stars to stay consistent.

I don't care for this chill mellow guitar stuff

Didn’t like. The beginning of the first song seemed very promising, but the album was a dull version of Cat Stevens

Boring. Did not like

Moody and deep lyrics - I could tell he was sullen and introspective. Not my cup of tea but as art it is expressive.

Just him and an acoustic guitar. Very soft and beautiful.

찐 I 에너지

2nd album from Nick Drake. Still can’t do the vocals. Was gonna give this a 1 as well, but there was one song to save it and slide it in for a 2. Free Ride.

Barely ok.

Super chill and laid back album. Rock vibes but on an acoustic guitar so it felt relaxing af. This is great background music. The bad part was none of these songs stood out to me except maybe the first one. This wasnt bad at all but just meh. Super short record. Cool cover doe 3/10

I thought this was very mediocre. The singing was not good, the lyrics felt uninspired, and the instrumentals sleepy and off-target. Reminded of a worst Nick Mulvey.

Bit slow and melancholic

Well it's not bad but I don't really like it. Too monotonous and and very little variety

Reminds me of a 70s Jack Johnson vibe. I really have a distaste for this type of music, I find it so boring and uninspired. Just really not for me so I gotta rate this one low.

Just couldn’t get into it. Enjoyed the sound of it, but the lyrics just didn’t grab me.

personally didnt find it rlly memorable 😬 i did really like the opening track tho

Personally not a fan of the vocal pitch matching the instrument pitch and the some of the melodies/riffs were unpleasantly basic. I'm sure it was meaningful in it's hay day but I'm quite possibly spoiled by the perfection of modern music this album lacks.

It's a little bit dull and lifeless. Doesn't exactly evoke any emotions in me. The odd track is fine on the soundtrack to a film, but a full album plodding along like thing is a bit uninteresting.

Acoustic-y singer song-writers aren't usually my thing, it really needs to be something special to grab my attention. Five Leaves Left, in all its breathless beauty, is such an album. For me, Pink Moon is not such an album. It's just too stripped back, too stark, frankly too dull. Drake's guitar playing is still fantastic but with the warmth of playing of the Five Leaves Left era completely absent, it leaves me cold. The tortured genuis, who may or may not have killed himself, will always be a tale that sells units. I do wonder if this album would simply be considered a side note in his career, a glorified demo, if he had lived to a ripe old age. It seems to me that in his passing, this album has been elevated from a career misstep to the last will and testament of a broken soul. He deserves to be remembered for better.

Not really my cup of tea. Too accoustic and his voice was meh. Lyrics weren't bad.

Lirycally uninspiring, musically limited, vocally mediocre, Pink Moon is either an acquired taste or one of the "you had to be there" type albums.

Ale mi smutno, ola boga. Na gitarce sobie gram, ram pam pam.

Głos mnie nie przekonuje, minimalistyczne melodie też nie. Spać mi się zachciało jedynie, żaden utwór nie zapadł w pamięć, nigdy nie wrócę z własnej woli. Ale też nie słucha się nieprzyjemnie. Idealne na 2.5, za mało na 3

чувак с гитаркой.. nice

I think I may need to revisit this one later based on so many others' stellar reviews. It seemed like standard singer-songwriter fare, but probably deserves a second listen.

Trippy - decent.

2,5; amazing Pink Moon but the rest of the album is just ok

It's folk music. I did not care for it. Not sure why this made the list. No need to listen to it.

02/09/22

I just have a problem with "Sad Bastard" music. If it doesn't have a strong blues guitar behind the lyrics then it just sounds whiney as shit. It wasn't for me and I could not tell you if it belongs on the list or not.

Very chilled.

Bit boring.

Not really my vibe ;/

Overall very good album, though i have to say that’s not my type. I di think that every song are too similar and it pertubs me

Just a dude mumbling to his guitar. Liked the playing but not really feeling the vocals or the song writing. Probably one of those artists that if you discover them yourself you think they are great, but if someone tells you to listen to them you're not impressed.

Pleasant enough, nice guitar work. A little one note, similar tones of voice through the entire thing. Favorite track: "Place to Be"

Most interesting thing about this album is the artwork

I love the guitar work and simple production

Bit like Jeff Buckley

Udmærket, Donovansk, stille, jeff buckley, sing/songwriter, irriterende

Ok in background.

No conocia al artista. La primera impresión es que tiene una onda Bob Dylan, muy de canciones de protesta post-hippies. Todas las canciones suenan bastante similar. Y el tono de la voz + guitarra un poco te duerme jaja. La cancion "Know" es la mas diferente de todas, suena como una especie de blues folk.

me ha gustado bastante.

The album cover is super trippy and fun! The music was pretty forgettable.

Not for me. Droany and always on these lists.

Bit dull tbh.

Don't like his voice. I like the music as background music, but it's not my thing.

Casi estilo de cantautor con pocos más instrumentos que una guitarra acústica. Un tanto soso y falto de carácter. Buena voz, pero nada más

Melodic, yet melancholy. Nick's music is "rainy day" music.

Not INSPIRING

Un poco mejor que el pesado... Un poco

Definitivamente mejor que el anterior

Again. It was just fine. Don’t really get why pink moon has 96M listens but shout out the indie guitarists covering it

Too psychedelic for me

Meh. It was just a lot of some dude playing wonderwall with his college ID. I'm surprised at how many albums so far have been just meh.

folky, simple, tragic story about the artist, interesting they found success from the bands they inspired (the name of The Cure) and a VW commercial years later

folky nonsense, didn't really go anywhere but wasn't totally awful. 2/5.

Absolutely not my style, but better than I expected it to be given that.

Such a beautiful name for an album but not my thing at all

как и писал ранее - не понимаю почему это здесь. Все 3 альбома рано умершего музыканта в этом списке. Пишут что грустная лирика вдохновила многих в будущем (cure и т.п.). Но не смогу слушать такое под гитару.

The most not-for-me thing I’ve heard on 1,001 so far. Hated it.

Tämä oli aika puuduttavaa ja monotonista kuunneltavaa. Parasta oli levyn lyhyt kesto.

I see the appeal, I enjoyed the guitar fun in the background, but it just isn't my pace of music, and all the songs on the album were so similar to each other that I didn't like not being to easily differentiate between them.

Sparse folk almost solely centered on delicate acoustic guitar with occasional subtle piano, minimal arrangement, and soft, hushed, and emotionally restrained, almost detached vocals unfolds with quiet, fragile stillness. Listening feels like sitting alone in a dim room where each note lingers longer than expected. The result is haunting and yet I loose my focus fast as its restraint feels almost too slight.

I felt like i was listening to the same song all the album

Nope. Didn’t like it all.

Holy hell that was boring as shit.

Si on était au XVIe siècle et que Nick chantait la sérénade sous mon balcon, ça m'aurait sûrement plu. Mais le minimalisme a ses limites : en 2026 c'est surtout banal et soporifique.

muy relax

Uninspired guitar strumming

lame³

Boring

boring

I don't really know about music techniques or anything so I can't talk about the quality of this album, but it's just not my style.

ME DORMI EN VIVO

Ovo je tolikom dosadno da mi je teško povjerovati da je album iz 70ih. 1/5, 1/10

this man does not sound in his twenties lol. it's really just boring and nothing sounds unique. Know is just made up of the same guitar cord progression that repeats over and over again for 2 minutes straight. i know (haha) a lot of songs do this but its super noticeable and annoying in this song in particular because there isn't any other interesting instruments or vocals happening along it. fav song: Things Behind The Sun

I feel like I'm sitting in the college room of a Cambridge Arts student, listening to his limited repertoire and wanting him to hurry up to I can put a record on. Ok, is there anything interesting or inspiring about his guitar picking? No. So there's a big chunk of what we are listening to. Take the intro to Horn, it literally sounds like he's tuning up. His voice, langourous at best, but he ain't JJ Cale. It is stifling, suffocating, as in get me out of this guy's bedroom. What exactly is Know? How did that get recorded? The lyrics, not offensive but does he have something to say, as opposed to say Richard Buckner? No he does not. I'll happily sit outside the rock and roll zeitgeist on this one, it is not good in anyway. He can stay in his bedroom and keep strumming, I'm going to the pub for a lemonade and the jukebox.

Holy fuck this sucked ass. See, this is why I hate white men with guitars. They all think they’re so cool. With songs so bad it inspired me to make a playlist of the worst songs I hear during the completion of this list. Thanks Know by Nick Drake, it was that bad. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right mood for this idk, it irritated me though. Cool album cover though, what a let down.

I can't get into it and his voice is not my cup of tea.

Wenigstens war es schnell vorbei.

Puedo valorar que es una gran banda de música, pero no puedo con el metal.

Absolutely not my type of music

1.0 it started at a boring point and didn't move even an inch.

It was basically the same song thrpughout the album. Suitible good for background music when writing

can't stand this idiot, can stand this album

Nope! Wasn’t feeling that one.

L Folk

This guy is the 2nd worst Drake

Musik hat keinen Wiedererkennungswert. Es ist ein ruhiges Album mit Gitarrenklängen.

Elevator music for me. Probably wouldn't listen again.

Not great

listened to two songs and wasn’t for me ultimately - was this man saying real words??

His dull, flat miserable voice really got on my nerves. What a doleful dirge of an album.

This is total nothingness. Bland voice, bland guitar. I've also had more tuneful farts than 'Know'. I could just tell before looking at the Wiki that he offed himself. Miserable.

Nothingburger. His vocals are so bland. At least Bryter Layter had some nice orchestral instrumentals

Lowkey dull.

Surprised this album is so highly touted. It's pretty much some simple acoustic lines with some muddled vocals. Not sure it stood out in any way as it sounded like anything that I could have heard at a coffee shop, college campus talent show, street corner busking or elsewhere. The context that he was a depressed independent musician does little to resonate with me as that appears to be closer to the status quo than otherwise. I didn't realize until checking just now that this was the 3rd Nick Drake album on the list. I enjoyed the prior albums for what they were as cozy indie folk albums but Pink Moon didn't hook me. I'd vote this one off personally to make way for another artist. At least it was short so not a huge investment. 1.47 stars

Forgetable.

The best part of this album is that it is 28 minutes long. If Nick Drake were around now, he would be a Conan Grey knock-off. One of the unmemorable, soft-voiced singers that all sound the same. He is a gifted acoustic guitar player, but each song sounds nearly identical and is just sad and boring. 1

a little too slow, and not feeling the songs

I see a lot of people like this. I'm not one. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for sad music? IDK, but didn't make it through this one.

How many slow, drab, minimal talent folk rock acts are there on this list?!? I am just shy of 100 albums listened to and this is my 414th folk rock album. There is nothing about this album that I needed to hear. His vocals are fine but nothing to admire, the 2 cords of a guitar is lame and annoying, the complete lack of soul and any kind of rhythm is exhausting by the 3rd track. The somber strumming of the guitar seems very novice. This album is really just slightly elevated camp fire music. There is a reason I have never heard of Nick Drake - he's not very good. One redeeming quality for this album is it is only 28 minutes long. 2.8/10 98/1001

Not my cup of tea

I suppose it's good Sunday morning background music but really it's nothing that catches my ear at all.

The album sounded a lot more modern than I expected, kinda like a popular indie band would. Unfortunately, it wasn't my vibe at all - it was too slow.

eintöniger geht nicht. oder nur ohne gitarre und gesang.

A big MEH.

Forgettable.

I don't like this song because of the beat. I would not recommend this song. I don't like this long because it is giving me sad vibes. I would not recommend this song. I don't like this song because it is sad. I would not recommend this song.

i dont like it the guy sounds weird and because of the beat . the second song was bad to i dont like the beat . the third one was boring i do not reccomend this album

I don't like it it sounds deppressing and I don't really like deppressing songs the second song I also don't like its not a song I would listen too and its not something I would add to my playlist the third song I also dont like its not something I would listen too

da first song is alr its lowk good n bad buh the lyrics r js confusing oms like hello? buh da background music is good nd the instruments r good its like 50 50.

Fuck rating albums. Just let me listen.

A bit too slow for me to enjoy properly

Reading Wikipedia, his friends say at the end of his life, he often had a blank stare…which is exactly what I had while listening to this album. It just didn’t do it for me. 1001 album worthy: no - 68/127

Deathly dull. Why people love this I cannot even begin to comprehend. Ugly cover too.

All these songs sound the same, and they aren't very good. Bleh.

First few songs held up for me listening on a bright and sunny morning, but then I got bored with each successive track.

guitar is annoying reminds me of my ex

Yet another horrible album on this awful list.

boring singer songwriter droll, some songs have a decent vibe but thesinging is abysmall only one decent track in the middle of the album but it also gets lowkey ruined by singing in the middle (things behind the sun) NNN

Music to slit your wrist by

Boring boring snoring

Shit. Bored during an album thats only half and hour is some accomplishment. Well done Nick Drake. Boring dude.

Boring amateur sounding. This was really bad. It was annoying and had a weird feel to it. 1.25/5.

I now know the backstory, but I can only judge it on how I like the album. Whilst it’s simple singer songwriter stuff with a beautiful acoustic guitar, I just found it so dull. Not something I’d reach for to play again.

Do not like at all but place to be is quite nice. Break up road trip vibes. But this is winey af

1.5 Lets just say if I was at a toga party and Nick Drake was singing and playing guitar on a staircase, I would be smashing that guitar.

One word. Dreary!

i’m sorry but i didn’t see what was so amazing about this album that i had to hear it before i died. nick drake is talented, but i could’ve died happy whether i listened to this or not.

Dreary. Wouldn't listen to again.

Neutral milk hotel started playing afterwards and I couldn't tell the difference

I cannot stress enough how much Nick Drake absolutely bores me

Nicht meine Richtung

Boring…

his voice is too breathy or something. the guitar style is not my thing. I'll pass

i dont like folk rlly

there is just something about Pink Moon and I that is fundamentally incompatible. i have never been able to come remotely close to wrapping my head around what the appeal is. it's just so dreary and boring to me, no matter how many shots I've given it over the years. i like bryter layter but this just drives me crazy happy for everybody that loves and appreciates Nick Drake, but that will never be me

potworny zamulacz

Olemme eri taajuuksilla. Vääränlaista värähtelyä aiheuttaa melkeinpä kaikki sävellyksistä lauluääneen. Harmi.

This is music you have to be in the mood to listen to. There is a time for stripped down acoustic music, but this didn't grab me as anything spectacular. The title track is ok, but the rest of the album to me was more of the same but less appealing.

I know much better in this genre who haven’t gotten near the recognition, have written many more songs with much better melodies; that don’t scream self pity, and are a far greater service to the world. 2.1mil monthly listeners on spotify is mind boggling.

Annoying. All sound the same.

s.s., 1972

This guy beats puppies with his music

nah. not my cup of tea

What a snooze fest.

Vaya, había pensado que era de Pink Floyd, pero no, es otro bodrio infumable.

I did not vide with this album at all. I liked the guitar but I think I didn’t like his voice. Maybe it was a bit too simple or maybe I don’t have a good ear for music lol

not my cup of tea. probably a good album to others but I don't like it

Not really much of a folk person Beautiful words though

Sorry not a fan.

Struggled to get into this one.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Boring dull not very appealing. These "classics" are not really up my alley.

This is the third time I’ve gotten a non- Simon and Garfunkel, Jack Johnson-like acoustical album from a 70s artist, and I have to say: what makes them each different? To me they sound virtually the same. We really could’ve just picked one of these artists and used their albums. Flip a coin for all I care, their albums all sound the same. If it ain’t S and G, then what’s the point? I get the feeling this isn’t the last one of this genre either. Shame.

Too boriiiing

Singing with his eyes shut. Skip.

I don’t really ‘get’ this. The songs don’t speak to me and the music doesn’t grab me at all. Sounds like someone practicing guitar and humming along at one point (Know).

boring

Had to abandon halfway through

Nunca había sentido ganas de aventar mi teléfono por la ventana con tanta fuerza como cuando escuché Parasite.

me está gustando muchito

Belle +Sebastian vibes. Low-key singer/songwriter. Nice to hum along to.
