Persisted through on the understanding there might be something that would resonate in there. Didn't find it.
The acoustic guitar was fantastic to listen to and really enjoyed the chilled / raw nature of it. The main downside for me is the depressive moans over the top. It's OK at times but it's unrelenting. It's a bit like Jack Johnson's dark / evil twin. Not sure I could happily chill to this despite its merits even as background as does become dull over time. Harsh 2 sorry as probably deserves a 3.
Unremarkable on the first listen, but some interesting guitar refrains, I get bored of singer guitar albums if I'm being honest. Could probably fall in love with it if I listened a lot, but it just seems low effort.
Bem bunda
linda voz, lindas letras, mas não é meu tipo de música.
Overall did not interest me. I Have always enjoyed single tracks by Nick Drake, but felt very bored after a few in a row. Rounding up to 3 stars because the production and guitar tone was lovely. Fav - which will, place to be, free ride least fav - know, from the morning
Can't tell i really liked it. For me — a bit too boring. Hope it'll find its appraiser. Album cover's nice tho
very slow, songs get pretty repetitive and the album kind of had a creepy vibe to it, idk why.. wouldn’t listen to it again, but I understand why some people like it.
Not my cup of tea
Quiet acoustic folk I'm guessing the lyrics are more the focus as the music is basically strumming acoustic guitar
This was...so quiet and slow. Really quite a bore to get through. Not good.
Pink Moon was really good…. I hate minor key folk
Thank god its only 28 minutes long. I accept he can play guitar, but he can't write lyrics for shit. If you make this type of music, you need to do better with them. No chance in hell this should be on the list.
Sure occurred.
Everybody loves this apparently. But not me. It's depressing.
I still haven't fully got Nick Drake. It's pretty nice, but didn't click. 2.5
I can’t remember what I scored Nick Drake’s last offering, but this was just meh. Boring. I did appreciate his dedication to songs under 4mins though.
a bit boring imo, all the songs kinda blended into one blob by the end. still good record to listen to while working.
This album is really interesting in that all the songs are so, so short! I don't know what a pink moon is, or why its going to get us. Why is the moon threatening us? Maybe a longer song would have explained. It was ok. I'm sure its playing in a Denver coffee shop as we speak.
Not as bad as I was expecting. It’s a bit much for a whole album, but I would listen to the odd song again
Guitar not bad, but singing is very monotone and... voring
Despite this sounding like my thing on paper, I thought it was pretty boring
I would give it 2.5 stars probably. If you would have told me this was from the early 00s I would have believed you.
Pink Moon - A lovely little song that is pleasant but doesn't leave much of an impression beyond how nice it sounds. 6/10 Place To Be - Great song to follow on from the opener, has a much more powerful sound and overall makes me think of the sound Sufjan Stevens uses now. 8/10 Road - A really refreshing song after the last two feels light and exciting with an interesting fast vocal delivery mixed with a truly beautiful sounding acoustic guitar. 9/10 Which Will - Fine enough acoustic song but the reptitive nature of the album is starting to toll on me. 6/10 Horn - Fun instrumental but also it's an instrumental made up of just an acoustic guitar. 4/10 Things Behind the Sun - Probably the most down right pleasant song on the album so far but also suffers from the lack of any movement before. 8/10 Know - Initially thought "wow what a nice new sound" then the song proceeded to be the most monotenous song so far. 2/10 Parasite - Pleasant but ultimately uninspiring. 7/10 Free Ride - Overall just a meh song again. 5/10 Harvest Breed - More of the same overall this album is seriously one note and has nothing to set it apart. 4/10 From the Morning - The final song and it's okay but this album just doesn't move whatsoever. 6/10 Overall Pink Moon is a very stagnant listen with every track consisting with acoustic guitars and fine lyrics. The standouts are 'Place to be', 'Road' and 'Behind the Sun' as these songs hit and create some sense of purpose. The rest of the album bottoms out in this terrible monotony. 5/10
Not my cup of tea
**An ok album. Most tracks sound alike, easy listening
Another fucking Folk album....
Vaggvisor är inte min genre. Fint omslag dock
Not really my vibe, but overall nice album. Very chill, mellow reminds me of James Taylor.
Pleasant enough but a bit dull
Not my jam. Just a man strumming his acoustic guitar.
Yeah not a big fan of just guitar.
great start, but felt too long in the end
I know it is a classic. But a bid tedious. 3
27 minutes, but it seemed like an hour.
This is the first artist I didn't know from this list and I am glad I discovered it. The guitar work is impressive, not necessarily groundbreaking but it is singular. All the songs are short, under 2 minutes, perhaps a reflection of the singer's equally truncated life. Place to Be and Things Behind the Sun were my favorite. And although I wish the artist was part of a band that had more instruments and a better singer, I can still appreciate the minimalist approach of only using a guitar to carry you throughout the entirety of the album's runtime.
I’m pretty familiar with this album. I discovered it a couple years ago and listened to it a few times. Although I like what he does and I love his voice, this album has always felt unfinished to me. And considering he lived another two years after this album‘s release, I don’t really understand. There are a lot of mis-strummed cords, meandering, guitars, and quick little instrumentals that just felt like warm-ups. So although I really like a lot about Nick Drake, I can’t say I like this album.
bra gitarr, gillar ej rösten.. inget för mig
Not my thing. I think something stripped down like this could work but it didn't manage to engage me all that much and I didn't find his singing all that good either.
4/10
This album was highly recommended to me several years ago and I tried to like it. Tried again now, and still don’t. I mean, he conveys his depression well, but he does such a good job it’s almost infectious. Which is a weird critique coming from a big Tom Waits fan, but here we are.
Was okay, a bit too melancholic
The Ray LaMontagne of the 70s, best played like a Bill Evans album, half-asleep on the couch. Nice voice, a bit too gloomy, with lovely melodies. Too bad the songs don’t build up, which makes it feel more like a boring fireside background album. Still, I’d take this over Paul Simon or a nasal Dylan any day. I sometimes even feel moved by the atmosphere, knowing the man would take his own life shortly after recording this record.
meh. chill. acoustic.
Very soft singer-songwriter. I just found out I lost not one, but two dream jobs. Feels mood appropriate but not something I would see myself revisiting. I don't think anything particularly stands out for me here.
Nick was a little down on himself despite a solid effort with Pink Moon. It’s mellow and a bit depressing. Things Behind The Sun is the best song on the album, followed by From The Morning. L = (1.0*s) Songs are very similar and short. J = (3.1*s) Album should have been titled From The Morning, it’s more thought provoking and more upbeat.
Alright list, we get it...you are obviously a huge fan of Nick Drake. All 3 of his albums have made it but why? Pink Moon is his best but it's more of the same slow, dreamy song work. I am not happy the guy suffered from depression and died at 26. I am however happy that there is no possible way there will be more albums from him to listen to (if there is a live one I swear). Putting Mr. Drake to rest with a 1.66 star rating.
Not a fan. 2 star
🧌
Yawn...
Felt like I was listening to Van Morrison. The lead off song was good but the rest all didn't really invoke any sort of particular feeling for me
C’est parfait pour dormir sous un coucher de soleil estival. À part ça c’est pas ma tasse de thé. Donnez des albums un peu plus entraînants ptn, et je parle pas de heavy metal de gros pointeurs. Merci.
It’s hard to listen to Nick Drake objectively - he’s overly revered and his sound has drifted into cliche land over the years. I find it hard to shake off those sunny evening campfire vibes and just listen to the songs. All perfectly charming, just a teensy bit boring. Fun fact: Nick Drake’s second cousin, once removed, is William D Drake of Cardiacs, who happen to be the best band ever. What a world.
Terrible cover. Relaxing music. Oh, he committed suicide. Ok but repetitive. I prefer Elliott Smith.
There's stripped-down, and then there's simply half-baked. Pink Moon's sparse arrangements and lo-fi recording leave me with painful flashbacks to my uni days, when everyone was practicing guitar at varying skill levels all time. The lyrics are so vague they barely register. Most tracks feel more like half-remembered lullabies than proper songs. Sure, "singer-songwriter" implies simplicity, but here I just don't get the appeal.
Nice folky solo music. Not my cup of tea.
..
"Pink Moon is the third and final studio album by the English musician Nick Drake" DO YOU PROMISE?
An album that I know is a classic, but I just can’t get to it. The melodies are gorgeous, the lyrics are undoubtedly beautiful, but for some reason - I can’t reach it.
Unremarkable
In terms of white guy with guitar albums its pretty short and inoffensive. A 1972 album that probably could be released yesterday, but only because its the worst kind of acoustic folk that hasn't progressed in sound in 50 years. - mitona
Esta bien...es cortito y suena bien pero ninguna locura
Thought we had some Nick Drake before. Great fancy guitars and well structured songs. Just too slow and sad and complicated for my taste
Meh.
Pretty soft, acoustic. Most songs sounded the same.
Relaxing music that I might never listen to again?
Enjoyed the melodies but the vocals were to airy and incomprehensible. (Not soft and airy like sujan stevens)
Pretty boring ngl
not my stuff...
Some interesting sections but a bit dull even for a primarily acoustic album
um, it's very 70s mellow
Répétitif
Evidently, Nick Drake is influential to a variety of singer songwriters in the 80s. I suppose if I listen to this through that prism, I can kind of see why this album was included. In absensce of that, someone who has sold a few hundred thousand albums in the UK and was never popular in the US, simply singing and playing guitar, is pretty unremarkable. There's nothing inherently wrong with this album, it's just kind of there. Decent voice, good guitar, but just that. In listening to Nick, I found myself thinking about Jack Johnson, who has somewhat of a similar sound, though I would much prefer to listen to a JJ record. That's not to say there weren't any good songs on this. Things Behind The Sun was an excellent listen. Some of the cadence of the singing in this reminded me a lot of a song I love by Jars of Clay called Truce, so this one I really enjoyed. Others were fine, but not much more. Amazingly, though only 28 minutes long, this sounded very monotonous to me. An average album from an unremarkable artist.
Rating: 5/10 Meh.
It sounds really nice, but often I'm missing some interesting melody or unexpected turn.
Not really for me. Some decent guitar though. Some of these songs could work as covers
Was nice, but a bit too monotonous.
Put me to sleep. Couldn't find the beauty that everyone seems to be finding in this one. Is it the simplicity? I wasn't a big fan of Nick's voice in the beginning half of the album as well, it sounded pretentious, but it got better as the album progressed.
Singer-songwriter isn’t a genre I enjoy, since lyrics almost never mean anything to me, and the vocals aren’t usually pleasing to me. Following that, the guitar here is nice, but Nick Drake’s voice, with a slight but peculiar drawl, doesn’t do anything for me.
have heard of nick drake & didn't know what to expect. It was very OK for me. Nothing particularly unlikable but not particularly memorable either
Eh, it was okay.
Is he...trying to imitate Dylan? drunk? or singing with marbles in his mouth? All of the above? The only list this should be on is 1,001 albums to avoid at all costs.
This is not a style of singing or genre I typically like, and unfortunately I didn’t care for this album. The affectation in his singing voice turned me off to the rest.
Fucking bad
Zu viel belangloses Gitarren-Schrummen für meinen Geschmack. Bei Road wenigstens noch etwas Zupfen und leicht spannendere Rhythmen. Das wird aber spätestens einen Song später auch langweilig. Horn nimmt Tempo raus, das gefällt mir, es ist auch als instrumental-Song ein angenehmer Kontrapunkt zum restlichen Album. Die Harmonien in Things Behind the Sun gefallen mir sehr gut! Auch der Wechsel von der Strophe in Moll zum Refrain in Dur ist schön. Immerhin kommt doch noch leichte Variabilität sowohl in Gitarre, Stimme als auch ein wenig in Harmonien und Rhythmen auf, aber für eine Drei reicht es für mich nicht.
The guitar was too repetitive and the songs never went anywhere. At least it was short, but 27 minutes shouldn’t contain this amount of boredom
This started to send me to sleep, which would have been brilliant if I were listening at nighttime, however, not ideal at 11 am.
Unique but all of the songs sound the same. Not my bag
It’s doesn’t get more minimalist acoustic than this. Guitar performance was undoubtedly a skilled display, but the melodies weren’t particularly captivating. Difficult to comment on the songwriting as the vocals were rather mumbly. Still, a chill, relaxing listen. Listened to: walking through park slope. Favorite tracks: Which Will
Song: Pink moon This song is good i like the country music but the lyrics is weird and the album cover is way to weird Song: parasite this song i very weird and the lyrics is so weird so for the start this song is very very weird and the singer who made it gave suicide to himself so i dont really like him i think he is scary and creepy Song: from the morning this song is good this is the only song i like in the album that is actually happy when i read the lyrics but this is not a album i listen too or these songs
This just doesn’t do anything for me
get off his dick
Kinda winy but cool
Slow and depressing. Too melancholy for me. I could feel his pain.
Kweet nie, niet echt zo mijn stijl. Wel mooie muziek maar niet echt mijn stijl.
Pretty boring album. Only has one sound, and that sound is pretty generic/boring can't see why it's on the list whatsoever. Sad music for the sake of being sad sucks.
boring
I'm sure this is technically good and beautiful but it's very much not my cup of tea.
At 28 mins it was mercifully short. Still couldn't finish it saved by pink moon
This is another one of those albums that I listened to and never remembered a single thing about it. So, "unremarkable", I remark.
it blends in with the very similar singer songwriters doing melo melancholy music here. its a fine listen, but nothing that holds my interest or warants relistens for me
Before: I am totally unfamiliar with this album (which may be a bit embarrassing considering just how many streams it has). The cover art is neat and I'm excited to listen to it. I don't even know what genre it is. Standouts: Which Will Horn Least favorites: Road Harvest Breed During/after: My initial thought is how interesting Drake's voice is. The production is interesting as well, especially the mixing. I see the vision and I usually like the home-produced sound, but didn't dig it here a whole lot. I wasn't able to listen to it front to back without interruption because I was working, which may have impacted my experience. The album has a very calm sound and I can see listening to it while working or reading. Most of the songs on this record sound VERY similar to my ear (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I prefer some variety). Horn has some really raw and beautiful guitar sounds though and was a great instrumental. Overall, this record was not the genre I was expecting based on the cover. I was expecting a bit of a more avant garde sound. Overall, it's not bad at all but not something I think I will revisit. It's just not really for me. 2/5
4/10
Feels like the sort of album your dad would make you play on his dusty acoustic guitar. Rather boring.
Feels like this guy had about 10-15 minutes of an album figured out and just made a bunch of rehashes of a few concepts and released it anyway. Went from a 4 to a 2 overall the course of five very repetitive songs.
я на фоне слушал и чета нихуя не понял. но в любом случае это лучше чем боб дилан
Previously rated: Bryter Layter (2/5) Five Leaves Left (1/5) ************************ Why have three albums by this guy, his whole discography even, when they all sound the same? One man, one acoustic guitar, and some boring songs. I'm glad I'm done with him.
Legalzinho follkizinho badzinha
All the tracks seemed a little samey-same to me. This was enjoyable enough to listen to, but its presence on the list is somewhat confusing to me 2.75
Yawn
There's a famous saying that goes: "Never judge an album by its cover!" But we only say that to amazing albums with bad covers, right? I've never bothered to do the reverse. Not to judge a spectacular cover of a boring album. For me, the flaw in this album is the instrumental minimalism, which for some reason, didn't work properly to intensify and spread the message of some of the great lyrics on this album, which ended up being a complete waste in the end. I mean, the album is only 28 minutes long, and this guy still gives me a song like "Know", with just an acoustic guitar playing the same notes and only 4 lines of lyrics. That's sooo boring and tedious! It kills 2 and a half minutes of the album for nothing! Because of the good lyrics on most of the songs, I'm going to give it 2 stars!
Pretty boring
Hoped I would like it more, didn’t really resonate with me
Singer with a bit monotonous voice. Nothing bad, but nothing that excites me much.
More sad boi music.
A nice, albeit unremarkable album, you get to the end and have immediately forgotten it all, it's the album equivalent of Alzheimer's. As I said, pleasant enough but largely just the same thing from start to finish... apart from the song 'Horn' I should add. The audacity of Nick Drake to have any sort of guitar instrumental on this album is outrageous. At points on the album the shoddy twanging of the guitar was tolerable, when accompanied by the gentle/sleepy/borderline asthmatic tones of Nick Drake.. but on 'Horn', it's full frontal guitar at its worst and I cannot for the life of me shake the image of a well coordinated ape, crudely picking at the guitar strings like he's picking bugs out of his mates arse fur. 2 stars.
The songs all blend in to one another, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I found his voice and the simplistic style quite relaxing. Unfortunately relaxation quickly turned to boredom. Things Behind The Sun was my favourite.
Not good
This was okay.
почитала про Ника Дрейка,очень интересная личность текста очень красивые и голос у него приятный но лучше бы зашло как сборник стихотворений,потому что слушать альбом мне было оооочень скучно 💔
;)
01) Pink Moon - 6,0 02) Place to Be - 6,0 03) Road - 5,5 04) Which Will - 5,5 05) Horn - 5,0 06) Things Behind the Sun - 6,0 07) Know - 5,0 08) Parasite - 5,5 09) Free Ride - 5,5 10) Harvest Breed - 5,5 11) From the Morning - 5,5 TOTAL: 5,55 (56/100) Current ranking: 342/399 I see a lot of enthusiastic comments and I see a very good overall rating and I think to myself - am I missing something? Because I find this painfully boring, his guitar is so monotonous, the songs are as similar to each other as an egg to another egg. The songs run for 28 minutes which feels like an hour and 28 minutes. Two stars because I feel sorry for the man because he was troubled and died young. RIP.
I've listened to this a few times now and I really don't get the hype for it being one of the best folk/acoustic albums of all time. I get some enjoyment out of it with the guitar and his voice is nice, but I hate to say that I think this is overhyped because of his unfortunate death. I don't know just isn't for me which is surprising in a genre that I really like
The vocals are just too weak to hold my interest. 2 stars or D+.
(to come later)
Go listen to Gareth Dickson, he's almost indistinguishable from this guy. Style, voice, guitar. Wild Overall kind of boring but not awful
Folk can be a boring genre of music and this album is a prime example of just that. It all sounds the same because of his voice that doesn't vary in pitch and the only instrument used being an acoustic guitar. Like others, it's not awful, I guess. Just reeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyy long to get through despite being less than half an hour long
It’s boring, sounds like any other acoustic soloist. I’m sure the lyrics are sweet, etc. but ultimately whatever.
Didn’t like it. Same type of music my smart speaker plays when i ask her to put something meditative before bed but worse. Ngl i’d clearly imagine myself listening to this album several years ago when i was at my lowest — torturing myself with the husky sound of guitar and dull vocals.
It's like the author is a college student recording an album on his tape recorder in the middle of the night in his dorm. Hoping someone would hear it and like it. But I didn't.
I love Nick voice as I have said before, but he only made 3 proper albums and this is far from his best. To be honest I don't understand why it's on the list. Are all 3 going to be here? And if so are every Led Zeppelin album on here? Is every Frank Sinatra album here? I don't like him but would think him more deserving than Nick. Sorry, but can't go higher than 2.
I know many rate him highly, but I can't get into Nick Drake. It just doesn't do it for me.
This guy plays a nice guitar and he has a good voice, but everything sounds really similar and he has no edge at all. I think he wanted to be a poet. The best thing about this album is it's only 28 minutes long.
Pretty much the same song on repeat.
I've only ever heard the name Nick Drake in passing, never heard his music, I definitely thought it was going to a full band psychedelic thing, not just a dude and an acoustic. It's not bad but it gets pretty one-note and I can't say I love his voice. Yeah, this gets pretty monotonous, especially with his kinda low, breathy voice.
More plinking on guitars. How important is that art form actually?
Too much string guitar
Nick has a good voice, but I this album just didn't grab me.
He listened to The Beatles and thought they would be better if they sounded shitter
Another album by this guy eh.
This was fine, liked it better than the last Nick Drake album on this list. Got bored halfway through and went back to the NIN album again, which I didn’t think I would do but it’s really an incredible album the more I listen to it. It’s like if Slipknot added Johnny Greenwood to the band and they’d been listening to a lot of INXS while they wrote it. A million different things going on sonically that I won’t pretend I understand, but it’s easily the most interesting album that I’ve ever heard that has this much metal influence. Ruiner is a standout for me (that Skynard-esque solo is awesome) and Hurt. It’s kind of weird that the Johnny Cash cover (which is really good) has almost become bigger than the original because it’s a remarkable song in its own right. Upgrade to 4 stars, probably will never get to 5 for me given how challenging of a listen this is but you never know.
Nick Drake is like acoustic folk Radiohead - which is to say every song sounds the same and it's all dull sad music for sad people
Another unknown artist for me. Very mellow music. It reminded me of Robert Roseeka's music when I was up north. Overall, easy listening but boring.
Not my taste sorry
This dude mumbles in two chords.
i didnt have time to listen to this album unfortunately!
Bummed I got another nick drake already. I don’t fucks with this man
Mostly dull, just kinda background noise. Best Song: Things Behind the Sun
Okei kansikuvan perusteella mun odotukset oli hirveen korkeella ja sit tää oliki vaa vähä meh :( Ja tätä kuunnellessa sain meltdownin ruokakaupassa niin hirveen mukavia muistoja ei oo yhdistettynä, mut muistan et muutamassa kohdassa olin iha et vau sweet nii pitää antaa joku päivä uus mahis. Mut toistaseks kaiken tän takii ny vähä alhanen score.
Artiste inconnu. Très minimaliste, guitare + voix essentiellement. Je ne suis vraiment pas fan de ce type de musique, mais certaines parties de guitare sont parfois intéressantes. =>2/5
As soon as he started to sing I recognize his voice (I knew he existed but never heard anything from him before starting this journey with 1001albums). The music is great, the voice is dull AF. A second album from him is too much in this list.
difficult to understand. not my vibe. actually listened
Was unengaging to me, wasn't awful but I just can't see this being a necessary inclusion on the list
Won't listen to it again.
Ok, een singer-songwriter album! God dit begint heel leuk, maar wat is dit ongelooflijk saai na een tijdje... Dit is van die kampvuur muziek, het duurt maar een half uur het hele album, maar toch krijgt Nick het voor elkaar om me in slaap te zingen. Oprecht, Pink Moon is heel fijn, maar zodra je je realiseert dat dat eigenlijk het hele album is, kom je er achter dat dit wel eens een ontzettend lange zit gaat worden. Nogmaals; album duurt maar een half uur!! Dit is gewoon kort, maar toch gebeurt er zo weinig spannends dat ik niet zeker kan zeggen of ik alles heb gehoord. Het zal wel, als je knotje maar goed zit terwijl je jezelf vind op backpackreis door Thailand toch? FAVO: Pink Moon, Road
Geht so
I don't know what my type of music is but I know it's not this. Favourite track: Things Behind The Sun.
1. pink moon - 2 2. place - 1.5 3. road - 1 4. uuill - 1.5 5. horn - 2 6. zun - 1.5 7. knouu - 1.5 8. parazite - 1 9. ride - 1 10. breed - 1 11. morning - 1
Indie chill, but I don't see why it's in the list.
I agree with one of the original critic's, Jerry Gilbert of SOUNDS Magazine, that Nick Drake's songs, particularly on this album beg the need for wider instrumentation and backing tracks. Also, all Nick Drake could benefit from dynamic changes occasionally, even if your subject matter is depression. While I respect that folks resort to busking, I don't want to listen to a whole album of arrangements that barely amounts to a demo tape. More agreeable than Bob Dylan albums, but still pretty tedious, no matter the subject matter. Well written lyrics, but I prefer a sonic palette that explores a wider breadth. Poetry is not music. Overrated by recent hipsters. No better or worse than his other album that I heard on this list FIVE LEAVES LEFT.
just not for me
Nothing inherently wrong with this, I just didn't enjoy it very much.
Meh
I just enjoyed it that’s my note
folk/pop music seem likes, really haven't listened to anything/any other genre else to compare it to lmao. Pink Moon is the debut song, but "Things behind the Sun" seems to be the best for me. very mediocre. no song really stuck out for me. nothing to base it on. Just mid.
Peaceful but not my vibe
Two stars for triggering me into remembering that I used to be obsessed with Garden State
For me this would be very situational. But they exist.
A cross between bear in the big blue house and Peter Gabriel. We don’t need an “at home” version of these.
The album was half the length of other ones that we've been getting, so I was very happy. This whole album was very chill, nothing really happened, it's like someone is sitting nearby and is just jamming in the woods (yes, you're in the woods as well, for this scenario). Nothing amazing, but pretty good as a background listen.
I know this game is very influential but I was mostly just bored. Didn’t care for his voice, the lyrics didn’t seem moving, the guitar work was fine and maybe at the time was miles better than anyone but now it just seems lost in the shuffle. Then again, I’m not an expert on anything so who cares.
Things Behind The Sun I’ve listened to this album twice. Some songs three times. I’m just not seeing it. I like the form and the concept but I feel like some of the songs are missing out on lyrics and leaves them dry. Maybe I’m too shallow minded I’m not sure. I want to like it but I don’t
Not unpleasant
Would I listen to it again: no Do I like it: no
Ni
Nice enough but not really for me
i found it basic
Very good example of singer songwriter that has a hippie association with it, but not my favorite atuff
I dont like this type of indie music. Find it boring and although the lyrics are good its not enough for me. To me its background music while you work or do sonething else.
Meh
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.
OK.
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
Meh.
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.
2.5/5
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.
fine
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
Meh
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
