Pink Moon

The sound isn’t for me

Buzzy guitar strings (come on, surely you’d sort that out before recording an album?!), annoying vocals, and all the songs sound very similar. It’s just really boring, not sure how anyone gets anything out of this kind of music. The album art is cool though, and I guess overall it’s not dreadful.

неплохо, вайбово.

canciones muy chill. tipo LoFi. banque. 4 puntos

Unfortunately this just isn't for me as I don't really like the acoustic guitar or singer songwriter music

i have nothing quippy to say abt this album bc it’s simply too important to me.. legitimately life changing. thank you, mr drake highlights: pink moon, place to be, things behind the sun (dec 2 2023)

I already listened to this album many times. I love this album

Moody. I’m not usually in the mood for acoustic guitar music

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.

This is the album you watch rain run down your window to

i don't remember the last time i heard an album so beautiful in its simplicity!! "pink moon" was able to convey so many emotions truly. it is also - at least to me - an extremely melancholic and perhaps - just a sad album, which is what will always draw my attention. nick drake's voice is nearly perfect to me, especially when it can be heard so clearly as in here. i would also say that as i listened, i started to resonate much more with the bittersweetness of it all and feel it on my own skin. i will certainly come back to this record, especially to tracks: "place to be", "road", "things behind the sun", "free ride" (!!!) and "from the morning".

Pleasantly sleep inducing

I can understand why this wouldn't be everyone's jam but it is mine

What a great album

wasnt terrible, i liked a couple of the songs but im not really a slow music person

also have already listened and absolutely love. strings that strum my heart and soul in some way, amazing forest listening

A beautiful songwriter album, just a man and his guitar. He has a great voice and emotes well. I love the opening track, great start for this album.

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 think I liked this one, but I also feel like I didn’t give it a proper listen. Going with a 3 for now but I think it’s probably more interesting than that. I need to throw on some headphones and sit with it a bit.

I liked it. I'm surprised I'd never come across this album or musician before since it's exactly my type of music. 70s folk? Folk yes!

Too much all the same. Was bored with it.

Nice enough, I'm sure, however I didn't really notice when it ended and Spotify started playing me something else. Probably the sort of album that deserves more than the background listen I've given it. Still, nothing here grabbed my attention.

I thought I was going to be listening to a weird australian dude talking through murder stories, but that's not Nick Drake, that's Nick Cave. I think overall I did prefer this album to any of Mr. Cave's. I don't love Nick Drakes voice, but the instrumentation carries this album.

The guitar work is too cool for me to hate this folk music. Well done Nick Drake.

For the first time during this project, I was able to go home, reach into my small collection of vinyl records, and play the album of the day. I believe this is one of the finest albums ever recorded. It is simple - just a voice and a guitar (plus a piano on the title track). But Nick Drake was an incredibly skilled guitarist as well as a wonderful songwriter, and this simple music becomes a profound exploration of joy and sorrow. I came across this album by chance just before starting on this project, and I count quite a few songs from it as among my favorite of all time. I didn't even know anything about him until the first time I got one of his albums on here- his music is so timeless that I thought "Pink Moon" had just come out recently! I am glad to see that all three of his albums made it onto this project. What a sorrow it is that he left us so soon. Favorite track: "Road"

When I was listening to this, it reminded me of something my brother showed me. A soft voiced man singing to soft and sweet guitar... something about a moon in the name? I asked him if he could remind me what it was. Lo and behold, it was the very same album. I really enjoyed listening, it almost makes me think of Vashti Bunyan's minimalist style.

Очень спокойный альбом, вызывает какое то чувство дежавю, не знаю пока скачивать или нет музыку из него, я как будто слушаю саундтрек от какого то фильма из 90-ых

Hermoso álbum. Emocional y muy lindo de escuchar. Cómo transmite, lo bien que suena la guitarra. Corto, sin tanta vuelta. Me encantó. 8/10

Pink Moon — interesting accent o.0 Things Behind The Sun — okay i could’ve sworn I didn’t tick country/folk WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS POP is 70’s pop just modern folk LOL Horn — This album so far is good to be in the Eternal Breath album but this one’s also a Words at a Standstill Place To Be — Pretty consistent with the other songs. Parasite — it was decent Which Will — kind of forgettable (?) Free Ride — It’s pretty middle of the road for me. Know — This one’s also not to my taste. Harvest Breed — I DID NOT LISTEN TO IT From The Morning — I DID NOT LISTEN TO IT Road — I DID NOT LISTEN TO IT look im sorry but i just do not have the time to listen to it no matter how short it is i am honestly just so exhausted right now it feels like i have a brain injury but no actual injury occurred

I was really happy to get this album today, it was perfect for a walk in the sun. I wish Nick Drake did more.

the songs seem a bit simple, lyrics are good though. The songs sound the same a bit he's barely singing just basically whispering some songs are pretty good, but still fairly boring A bit atmospheric

This is what 1001 albums you must hear before you die is for. Beautiful songs, beautiful album

Sweet guitar but monotonous

It was definitely something different to what I usually listen to but I liked the chill vibe and intrumental, vocals could’ve been better

Meh beautiful but boring

Liked this one less than ‘Bryter Layter’, just a bit too slow for me. Still musically interesting, overall 2.5/5

el mejor disco pa andar triste en la calle de noche

Soothing

Would I listen again: some songs Very minimalistic, I liked the first few songs the best. I did not like know at all, repetitive instrument things drive me nuts

mellow asl, lowkey fire

mid

Overall Rating - 3.18/5 (6.36/10). Very simple. Just a man and his guitar. Nothing necessarily earth-shattering, but very good musicianship and simple melodies and harmonies. My kind of music.

Cool album!! Loved the guitar tone and creative playing

Beautiful, calming album

This was really a wonderful album. I haven’t been able to listen to the lyrics super critically, but the feeling of isolation and depression the music presents is well executed. I ended up listening to this album three times yesterday, I think this one is a keeper.

I don't get all these amazing reviews I was really bored, maybe I didn't listen enough but I'm also not really a lyrics person in general

2.5 I think I would like to listen to this album while lying on the grass and looking at the stars The whole album is a good experience but most of it isn't too much to my taste Favorite song: which I will

Álbum voz e violão simplesmente genial. Arranjos perfeitos, músicas tocam na alma, passa um sentimento ímpar. Famoso menos é mais!!!!

RATING: 10/10 HIGHLIGHT: Place to Be LOWLIGHT: Free Ride

don't find this kind of minimalist music particularly interesting... ok for background. I'm not much of a lyric person

I have fond memories of passing this album around with friends in college and recognize all the elements of genius in it, but I also have to admit that for some reason it doesn't come together for me in a way that makes it a favorite album.

Felt very personal. It was good

Not for me

The ultimate "sad guy with acoustic guitar" album

Me ha gustado!

A hidden gem. Stripped down, it's just Drake and his guitar. Sparse but hopeful lyrics, delivered with his soft but melodic voice. Some of the songs are sad, but the album ends on a thoughtful point. Very sweet, but not saccharine.

(2.75)

even though the album was from the early 70s, the music is timeless. it seemed it could have been released yesterday. i liked it alot.

I can't do it. I can't understand him. His voice isn't great. The music gets boring super quick. But it's not repulsive.

Very inner reflective. The type of music i enjoy in a old style coffee house (Godfrey Daniel's for example)

Wasn’t that bad. I like some of the lyrics and some of the songs however I do not like his voice. I would like to see how these songs would be done by a more current artist with a better voice.

Good

Very chill vibes. Felt very relaxing.

3.5 + half star for album art

This listener set out on this new adventure blind to many styles of music and deaf in one ear due to an errant step on my IEMs. This album couldn't be any better of a place to begin. I sit and am soothed and gently tugged into this album. The titular track lures you into the mystery of the remainder of the album. Your journey is like a walk around a garden after awakening from a dream you wish were true. The voice whispers behind a veil of mist, but the air rings with the sound of fingers picking on tight strings. You can hear Nick Drake's fingerprints on the coiled steel. An album of atmosphere and round sounds that encompasses all of you.

I really like the songwriting but the guitar playing and vocals are a bit more raw than some of the contemporary music I like, aside from Things Behind The Sun and a few others. It would be so cool to listen to a re-recorded version with new mastering by modern producers. Sort of reminds me of CAKE in that the composing is excellent but lacks the polished sound I look for in music. Still probably my favorite album so far on 1001 Albums.

I’ve heard of Nick Cave, but don’t think I really know that he was from the early 70s. Think he just popped in a folk playlist. This is quite good music. It sounds so familiar. I’ve definitely heard Pink Moon. And much of this seems very influential to the indie folk scene of the past 20-25 years. I can hear this influence on artists like Bon Iver and Iron and Wine. Honestly if I didn’t know the year, would’ve thought this was more contemporary. This feels like a solid 4. Going to give another listen because it feels like it could be a 5, but just not sure there’s enough to take it over the edge for me. Great singer songwriter folk music. Timeless really. The closing track might be my favorite on the album. This is all just so simple perfect music.

Maybe I need to listen again. I liked everything a little but loved nothing. Really just an album of nice guitar playing. But nothing really captivated me.

It's sad knowing that Nick Drake passed away after this album was released, it would have been nice to hear where his music would have gone. Nothing, at least to me, special about this one, but a good album none the less.

Classic

Good album but not for me

Every time you put this on, just takes you to another place. Unique. 4.1/5

Simplicity can be incredibly haunting.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake feels less like an album and more like finding an old cassette under the passenger seat of a damp British car. It’s intimate to the point of claustrophobia: just Drake, a guitar, and recording quality that occasionally sounds like the microphone was wrapped in a wool sweater. The lo-fi production does give it a certain ghostly charm, but there are several moments where the vocals and guitar distort enough to pull you out of the experience rather than deepen it. The biggest issue is how homogeneous the whole thing feels. The songs blur together into one long, melancholic sigh, and while the album’s short runtime saves it from becoming actively tedious, it also leaves surprisingly little impact once it ends. Nothing here is offensively bad, in fact, parts of it are genuinely pretty, but it never really develops beyond “sad man quietly strums guitar in your attic.” You keep waiting for a track to fully grab you by the collar, and instead the album politely nods at you for half an hour before disappearing into the fog again. That said, there’s something weirdly respectable about how committed it is to its fragile little world. I can understand why people mythologize it, even if I personally wouldn’t queue it up again after finishing it. Solid atmosphere, inconsistent execution, and a recording quality that’s either “raw authenticity” or “demo tape found in a shoebox” depending on your mood. 5/10 album 10/10 cover art tho

Its okay but its not his best and I don't think it is essential.

Mehhh so so

very short album 27 mins very short songs lyrics arent rlly very easy to hear very soft vocals, good for sleeping ig

Never heard this album and only heard one song before - this was epic! Sounds like it could have been produced yesterday. Absolutely fascinating that he was not famous in his life, and did into performing live and I'm interested to research the reasons!

For a guy doing some relatively simple songs for voice and acoustic guitar, this record sounds weirdly ahead of its time. You can definitely hear how ND influenced singer-songwriters and indie musicians of the 90s and 00s, and now his whisper voice is the main style of singing for the "bedroom pop" crowd. Underrated guitarist too. This is just an undeniably good record.

kinda mid, 2/5 so far. got better at the end, 3/5

With an album name like this I was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, really soothing. Album cover is sick too

This is a masterpiece. A little folk, a little blues, mildly psychedelic. Minimal, but not sparse. Simple but deeply felt. Easy 5/5, and definitely belongs on a must-hear album list. It's on my list of "You-think-this-is-bad?/you-think-this-is-boring?-I-can't-trust-you" albums.

I've heard occasional songs from Nick Drake on the radio over the past however many years, but this is the first time I've heard an entire album of his. I had to brace myself a bit for this, thinking it might be a dozy, calm acoustic album, but I was pleasantly surprised - it was a little dark, and had a good sense of rhythm to a lot of it. I think it's like how I like folk music from the UK and Scandinavia more than American folk, there's a darkness to a lot of it that I like. I don't know if I'd go back to this, but it was good to finally hear a whole Nick Drake album. I see why people think this is such an important album. 4 stars

Hermoso álbum, relajante, muy buena música

Super mellow

This would be a FANTASTIC album to listen to in the back seat of a car, riding during an afternoon rainstorm. Incredibly soothing, but also fills you with an undeniable sense of melancholy. I decided after the first song to turn on background noise in my phone’s settings to have the sound of a gentle rain playing quietly behind the album. It enhanced the experience tenfold and made the songs feel even more intimate and gloomy. It almost feels like I’m not supposed to hear this. It’s a similar feeling I get when listening to the Kurt Cobain home recordings. It feels unfinished, but I think that was intentional. It’s very stripped back, unpolished, imperfect, and emotionally raw, just a voice and a guitar. This is the swan song of a young artist who took his own life only two years after the album’s release. And it feels like it. Is this something I’ll run to revisit any time soon? Not particularly. But it’ll be perfect when I find myself neck deep in a depressive episode. I’ll rate it a 3.7/5, rounding up to 4. Favorite songs: Pink Moon, Which Will, Things Behind the Sun

Kinda fun, but didn’t stand out that much

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

Pink Moon ist das dritte und letzte Studioalbum des englischen Singer-Songwriters Nick Drake, entstanden in zwei nächtlichen Aufnahmesessions Ende Oktober 1971 in den Sound Techniques Studios in Chelsea, London. Produziert von Toningenieur John Wood und veröffentlicht im Februar 1972 bei Island Records, markiert es einen radikalen Bruch mit Drakes beiden Vorgängeralben: Kein Streichorchester, keine begleitende Band, keine Overdubs — bis auf ein kurzes Klaviermotiv im Titelstück ausschließlich Stimme und akustische Gitarre. Das Ergebnis ist ein Album von fast beunruhigender Stille: elf Songs, kaum 28 Minuten, keine Sekunde zu viel. Drake spielt unorthodoxe Stimmungen und irreguläre Fingerpicking-Muster, die seiner Gitarre einen eigentümlich schwebenden, kaum einordenbaren Klang verleihen. Songs wie Things Behind the Sun, Place to Be und From the Morning haben eine Innerlichkeit, die sich dem Hörer nicht aufdrängt, sondern ihn leise einholt — wenn man ihnen Raum lässt. Zu Drakes Lebzeiten verkaufte sich Pink Moon kaum; die Platten soll er schweigend im Empfangsbüro von Island Records hinterlassen haben. Erst posthum — und nach der Verwendung des Titelsongs in einem Volkswagen-Werbespot 1999 — fand das Album das Publikum, das es verdient. Ob das eine Ironie oder eine Gerechtigkeit ist, lässt sich schwer sagen. Ein Album, das nicht unterhält, sondern anhält.

really good lyrics, chill album to listen to, going back home a bit nostalgic

sitting by the window in a bus, the sun hitting your face between the leaves of trees passing by, reflecting on how time has passed to lead you here, wherever you are going and knowing whatever is to come, you can handle it :)

love nick drake

What a deep and beautiful record. Totally new acquaintance for me. A listen it through with care, and followed the lyrics through Spotify. Amazing lyricist, Nick Drake. At that point I was already prepared to give a four. Then I did some further reading on Nick Drake. The tragic of his life, the way he felt about live performance, and then the music he create with such a depth around those matters. Wow, beautiful, and deep. Nothing more to say.

High 2 star album. Love the stripped back vibe of this album, and definitely understand the appeal. I wish there was more going on, and I totally understand why there isn’t within the context of the album. It’s very cohesive, and tells a heartbreaking story when you learn about Nick Drake’s life. There were definitely some highlights on here for me, and I also think that the ending to this album was very good. Drake’s voice is beautiful when in this kind of vibe, and despite the 2 stars rating, this is definitely an album I would revisit and possibly bump up to 3 stars.

not really my style again, bored while listening to it tbh...

I don't remember liking Bryter Layter but I don't know if I was just in the right mood or time of day for this album but I really enjoyed it. Smooth, relaxing, and really enjoyable listening experience.

Classic sad jams

my first Drake album, thought there'd be more rap but still pretty good

Magnificent

really up there for me

4/5

Soft sonically, vocals, acoustic guitar Free ride

Elegante

is it even a discussion?

Instead of britpop we got britfolk. Which is arguably an improvement.

Perfection.

I hearded the album while reading the biography of Nick Drake, so, somehow, I got to know him better. It's a pity he left us so young

Perfectly imperfect. heartbreaking

Great album, so comforting

Some nice old vibes. Sometimes difficulty understanding what he is actually singing. Did see myself listening to this with the sun shining on a big hill laying in the grass. Apparently it is a sad album but, me not hearing what he is singing half of the time, makes it more of a summer feel for me.

quinta vez, cada vez que lo escucho mi canción favorita es una diferente, eso significa que a pesar de lo corto que es el álbum siempre tiene algo que ofrecer

Mooooy low frequenciess, como que me deprimo, no me gustaron mucho las letras tampoco, medio pe

Unique, singer song-writer that feels quite modern. Enjoyable to listen through with a couple standout songs. Multiple songs feel like lullabies

I love this album, it’s so comforting and precise. A really beautiful work

7 flat love nick drake and the title track is perhaps his best single but i feel like the overall album lacks consistency especially toward the back end. Much prefer bryter layter overall

Favourite Songs: Place To Be Harvest Breed

2 Nick Drake albums in a week, you are not going to make me like him, he sounds like John Mayer

70s - 80s Guitar solo album, basically, but I would definitely listen.

Speechless.

This album has an overwhelming melancholy permeating all throughout it. Especially after I learned this was Nick Drake’s last album before his suicide. It’s heart breaking in the way I like depressing albums to be, where the despair is conveyed through a general, intimate sound rather than over the top sad lyrics. And honestly, it’s not a terribly sad album on its own. It just has that special atmosphere. Maybe it’s in part because of the context, but I think it’s more than that. It’s the same way some happy songs make me sad. I think it’s some kind of longing. Yearning, unfulfilled desire, or something along those lines. Despite not knowing who he was before today, I’m now mourning Nick Drake’s death 50 years after it happened.

Nope. Didn’t like it all.

Drake's voice is so soothing. Great background music.

Holy hell that was boring as shit.

Extremely lovely

Pretty much just acoustic guitar with melancholy lyrics to drift your mind off to. It works beautifully though, both in the skill of his playing but also in capturing that late at night feeling of despair mixed with hope and the choice of how to move forward. I grew to enjoy what Nick was doing on every listen and by the time I got here I have become very fond of what he put to the record. Pink Moon, Horn, Things Behind the Sun and Parasite are the highlights for a highlight of an album.

Lowkey, peaceful, haunting. A little too mellow for me but I could see this being the right vibe in a very specific setting (like embroidering by the fireplace on a rainy night or something)

melodico, muy tranquilo, estilo cantautor, melancolico, suave, 4/5 por el mood

Beautiful, tortured, sometimes barely there. I usually don't like this kind of thing but Drake had a special gift.

Traust

genuinely the fucking goat, incredible album, such a coherent and comforting sound, insane variation in mood but incredible, peak instrumentation, peak song writing, peak vocals

Interesting music and sad story about the artist. I’d never heard of him before. Music not to my taste but not hateful

Sounds so ahead of its time, would never have guessed 1972.

I found this album to be a bit boring it wasn’t bad but no songs stood out the album is very short but not remarkable for me

Wasn't sure about this one at first. But a few plays through and it hit me. Very simplistic, and that's part of the charm. Learning about the artist adding so much more to it. Overall a great album to stick on and chill to.

😮‍💨

Wow. Just. Wow... I had heard of Nick Drake before starting this project but (somehow) had never gotten around to listening to him. Oh my god what a mistake. His lyricism, vocals, and composition are perfect, this album is perfect. Melancholy and at the same time comforting? This is amazing. 5/5

Boring, all the songs sound the same, no choruses, no variety in the instrumentation. I really don't enjoy this type of music.

One of the most depressing albums of all time. Will make great music for commercials. 4.5/5

Another gay sad guitar guy added to my collection. I am maclovin it

Great first half, decent second half. Would recommend a couple songs.

His third album. Folk /Acoustic. A 100% authentic, raw, beautiful and even tragic album. Simple melodies and soft vocals. Twenty eight minutes of complicated simplicity from a man struggling on the inside but still able to make something beautiful on the outside.

10/04/2026 It's amazing that this album wouldn't even be out of place in today's music world. Spotify listeners: 2.3 million

best enjoyed as a double header with king krule

Mid

Boring

Been stuck on this one a while. Not because I couldn’t finish it, but because I couldn’t rate it. This is one that I thought would be a guaranteed 5, even though I’ve never listened to it fully before. I ended up listening to it 3 or 4 times, and I kept waiting for it to hit me that it’s as special as I assumed it would be. And while it’s very good, it just never fully clicked with me. I love his voice, I love the music. There’s just something missing. So it’s a high 4/5.

Myyyyys, lite samma vibe hela tiden dock. Bästa låtarna är pink moon och place to be 🩷 får mig att tänka på Skottland?

Not really mu preferred genre but just so chill and calming. Delightful ton on the guitar.

Fine

Yeah it was ok.

I’m a sucker for some sad acoustic folk.

ok

Part of doing this list, is also discovering and accepting that you’re just not as into some artists like others are. Nick Drake is an example of this for me. This is certainly not bad and I can appreciate it on a certain level, but he doesn’t hit as strong for me as he does for other people, and that’s okay.

Вау, я просто хочу заслушаться этим

J’espérais qu’une vraie écoute me réconcilierait avec cet artiste que je boude sans raison mais ça n’a pas été le cas!!

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.

This is a beautiful album, highly enjoyed this

Did not enjoy this

an ok album by someone that I had not heard of. Unlikely to listen again but would not turn if off if someone else played it

Beautiful album. It touches the soul. His best album and one of my all time favorites

This album was different and was probably pretty influential for being released in the 70s and whatnot. And I liked some of the songs as they sound good, and I can imagine playing them late at night at a cottage. Of course, the singer-songwriter appeal is big to lots of people. But many songs on this thing do not sound good, which, when you are going for a simplistic album like this, I feel like that is pretty vital, otherwise what is stopping me from just looping " Pigs on the wing " by Pink Floyd. The first three songs were great, then it got a little repetitive. Horn was great, then Know was terrible. I feel anyone could have made that. The second half was kinda mid. But some cool ideas!

Very chill and mellow sound. Great guitar work. Reminds me of Belle & Sebastian. I wonder if he was one of their influences?

My favourite songs: Things Behind the Sun, Parasite, Free Ride

It's a nice relaxed album. Very melancholic feel throughout. I didn't really listen to the lyircs much but I'm assuming he's being a sad boy. 3/5.

favs – Pink Moon, Road, Which Will^

Comforting like falling asleep on a warm summer night when it's gently raining outside

Featuring one of my all time favorite songs to be featured in a Volkswagen commercial.

I liked this. Would be good for a slow warm morning. I love nicks voice and the light that you feel when he’s creating.

I can’t imagine an occasion when I would listen to this again

Fun!

Pretty mellow and nice music although the songs all sounded pretty much alike. I would give it a 3.5, but I like to round up so it gets a 4

This was beautiful.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM, nick drakes voice is so beautiful, actually know him from my mom, she recommended northern sky

pretty different than what i'd normally listen to, but very much enjoyed this. actually wish this album was a little longer cause its very soothing and raw. (love how you can hear each strum of the guitar for example, a lot of the sounds aren't mixed out and seems to be kept intentionally which i like a lot.) nick drakes voice is very nice and clear. would love to hear more stuff like this.

Laid back acoustic guitar and folk style vocals. Not bad not great, would listen if it was on, but likely wouldn't put in my regular rotation.

je l'ai déjà dans mes favoris sur Spotify, même si c'est un disque que j'ai très peu écouté.

Super chill. No me dice demasiado pero esta bien.

Hermoso, no los había escuchado, pero me ha gustado

Strong 4,5

Would be good on a long drive, I like this a lot. Reminds me of The World is a Beautiful Place a little. Dad definitely had this on his playlist so it’s almost nostalgic.

Ye

muy relax

It’s a lovely album and Nick Drake has always been one of those artists I should really like but it tends to be one or two songs that do it for me and the rest I can take or leave. It’s an excellent collection of songs though and a pleasure to listen to.

Not sure what this album cover is supposed to be. I was expecting prog but got folk. Seriously, it looks like a King Crimson album. Anyway, it's nice. Very pretty. Very melancholy. Great music to sit out side and feel the wind to.

So, this is the first time I’ve ever listened to a Drake album in its entirety. Incredibly mellow with melding of his vocals and the acoustic guitar. There are days when that would be a spot on combination, even for me. Today though, was not one of them.

Pink moon - 3/10 relaxing song that I can play when I’m relaxing, lights dim and in “that moment” Place to be - 5/10 more words in this song, really felt the words so relaxing Road - 4/10 mostly instrumental but I really like it at the same time, rating it low cause it didn’t give much Which will - 6/10 really like the balance with instrumental and singing, quite catchy too Horn - can’t really rate cause it was just instrumental but it’s really relaxing Things behind the sun - 8/10 so upbeat will defo add to my playlist like u can jump around in your room with this song Know - 2/10 didn’t really like a bit annoying Parasite - 7/10 I actually like this one this is the second best one I liked how the beat changed also Free ride - 6/10 I like these more upbeat songs Harvest breed - 6/10 like the beat too From the morning - 7/10 this song ilike too one of the top 3 I like

Gorgeous.

Great songwriting

Increíble

Really Great, have listened to multiple times.

A haunting, brittle masterpiece

melancholisch, nice

Uninspired guitar strumming

This album didn't click for me right away on the first listen, but on the second play I find it much more interesting. I never expected that I'd enjoy such sad-guy singer-songwriter stuff so much.

Nick Drake will always get a 5

lame³

boring guitar singer-songwriter stuff

The album cover looks like if Salvador Dali designed a cover for James & the Giant Peach. For just a man & his guitar, this is good. Better than Bryter Lyter but still Pleasntly Dull. The stripped down version is better but some of the songs seem to be half ideas or better if fleshed out. The songs do tend to blend together. I only 2 shots of espresso to listen intentively to a wonderful coffee house musican. 3

Nick Drake was one of the first albums I listened to on here, which was my introduction to him. I was instantly in love. Just as the last one, I’ve been listening on repeat all day.

Not my taste

Suena muy pacífico, me hace pensar en ir caminando yo sola en un lugar con muchos árboles. Creo que sería una gran opción para escuchar mientras leo o estudio. Realmente me gustó, va a la playlist <3

Pretty good I liked it

Probably the earliest I've ever listened to one of these, purely because it's a phenomenal album and is perfect for a gentle morning listen. 27 minutes of bliss. The songs on here are just so beautiful, the guitar picking sounds magical, and the lyrics are so simple and meaningful. I feel like I could just listen to this and sink into a fluffy pillow. Favourites: Pink Moon Place To Be Things Behind The Sun Parasite From The Morning

Same same

I don't even need to relisten to know this is an automatic 5 stars, although I relish the opportunity to do so. Even without the meta-album factor of Nick Drake's tragic death, this is still such an astoundingly beautiful work. It's just one man, his guitar, and crippling depression sieved through an unearthly gift for musical poetry. It's the anguish and ecstasy of life all in under 30 minutes.

A lovely, poetic album. Tragically short like the life of the artist. Each song a small, fragile-but-beautiful, perfectly formed gem. The instrumentation is sparce, but that adds to the songs. It's just lovely, comforting, hopeful. A good companion for miserable days.

I never heard Nick Drake until the resurgence of Pink Moon in the 2000s for the car commercial. Full album sounds pretty good.

There are two Nick Drake albums that I own and this one. What can I say? He sounds like he invented music for a Sunday morning. Dark, brooding, hauntingly beautiful Sunday mornings. Striped been, raw and meaningful. He really is in another league, yet it took me decades to learn of him.

Sounds super good and creative for how early it was. Just not really my kinda music wouldn't tell someone to turn it off though. Not the worst not the best.

E aqui concluo a discografia de Nick Drake, com seu terceiro e último álbum, que surpreendentemente, eu gerei em ordem cronológica na lista. As composições daqui são mais simples do que nunca, apenas voz e violão, sem adornos, sem complementos, o puro. Algo que eu aprecio mas não necessariamente amo, visto que minha pira musical se encontra em outros lugares. Consigo notar o ótimo songwriting de Nick Drake tanto neste disco quanto em seus outros, por mais que muitas vezes os detalhes me passam batidos. No final das contas, é isso que faltou para mim, eu não dei total e irrestrita atenção ao disco. E esse é um álbum que requer sua completa atenção, sem nenhum tipo de distração. Digo isso pois não colocaria esse disco como meu favorito, mas sim Bryter Later. Esse é um próximo segundo colocado. Lindas composições e lindas melodias. Uma bela voz e belos acordes, tudo aqui é agradável de se ouvir e muito bem colocado. O produto final não é 100% minha pira, mas mesmo assim me proporcionou um ótimo aproveitamento. 4/5

Some refined folk sensibilities but I don't like his songwriting capabilities as much as his contemporaries

Boring

I enjoy Nick Drake, but it is a little too chill for me to get very excited about.

playlist track: pink moon

Esta bueno, pero lo sentí medio repetitivo

chill, cozy songs. Exactly what i need to don't die at work

tranquilityy

not for me ...

boring

Easy to listen to. Sadly missed

I LOVED this album!!

I found this album on wikipedia a couple years ago and put it on my list to hit and never got around to it. I gotta say, I was expecting less than I got. Technically, strong melodies and cool guitar picking arrangements are all over it. Songs like Things Behind the Sun make me think this guy had bigger arrangements in mind, full band maybe. The songs are short but I think that benefits the strength of each melody on its own, making the repetitions a lot less grating than they may have been had the tunes gone on for 6 or 7 mins. I love this guys voice, a lot. Otherwise, there's a really powerful melancholic feeling that I think is amped up by the intimacy of this being a "singer and acoustic guitar recorded as close as possible" album. It's also amped up by a lot of the lyrics. Rhyming schemes are clever. Songs like Know feel like they may have been a little underbaked, but as cliche as it comes off I think I see it more as raw emotion being vague but recognizable. I get a feeling listening to that song and its words, even though I can't fully put a finger on what the feeling is. Imagery isn't strong in the traditional story telling sense. I think Bernie Taupin's stuff with Elton John is very vivid in a more literal way. On this album, I get more of a sense of color than I do of a physical happening as would be told in a story, and I don't mind that at all. I'm gonna hit this one again in the future because I feel like I smell a 5 with some further analysis. For now, I'll call it great at a high 4. Pleasant surprise for sure.

Just didn't win me over. Looking at other reviews suggest I should pay more attention to the lyrics but eh

Similar to the last Nick Drake, I enjoyed it and a very strange 3, but not something I would revisit.

Nothing wrong with the album, it just doesn't jingle my jangles

Fave song: place to be

Pretty enjoyable album, even though I generally zone out when listening to this kind of music. When I am looking back at my ratings in a couple of months time I probably don't know why, but I really like this record and give it a higher rating than I think I would have done with many similar records. 4/5

4.5/5

Breathy lullabies to suck you into hades

Ahhh - more Nick Drake....nice! Overall I prefer 5 Leaves Left and Bryter Later, but this is still wonderful music. 4

I liked it a lot. I love this artist and I discovered it thanks to this challenge. I liked his debut album better but I really liked this one.

I’m new to Nick Drake and it always take me a second to process that I’m hearing this guy, not Nick Cave. I like Nick Drake. After I listened to Five Leaves Left, I made a discography playlist of all of his records. I intentionally haven't listened all the way through because I knew his other records would be on this list and I didn't want to spoil the surprise for myself. I'm 2/3 of the way there now! My chief complaint here might be that it takes me a little bit to get into the right mood for this kind of folk music, and the 27min runtime is just not long enough for me to get onto this level... in a practical sense, that means I'd either have to be in this mood already to listen to it. If I'm listening to vinyl, every record flip is a chance to decide to listen to something else and I might choose to give up on this record before I ever get into the mood to listen to it. But, gun to my head, I’ll take Nick Drake over Elliott Smith if I‘m forced to have mega-sadboy music time.

Great record, perfect for a lazy afternoon.

I noticed that the entire album was guitar instrumental and it mostly sounded the same to me. Still a nice album.

I went to a pumpkin patch as a kid. If this album had a scent and a feeling, it would smell and feel just like that pumpkin patch. Methinks.

A seminal album. I loved the guitar, specially Drake’s playful yet sentimental plucking style. I like his voice and the lyrics are solid. Pink Moon and Parasite were faves of mine, although as a whole I don’t feel very connected to the songs. This is someone’s “soul mate” album, just not mine. It failed to awe me. Great to put on and romanticize a morning, though!

Never listened toi Nick Drake before. I will now.

Sublime folky sounds

5: I will happily play this album anytime 4: I may occasionally play this album of my own free will 3: I will happily listen to this if someone plays it in the background 2: I will tolerate this if it is playing in the background 1: I will leave the room if someone plays this in the background Delightful...will need to return to this one.

Important album in its era and has remained a touchstone for many folky singer songwriters. It has never really done it for me personally. Feel it’s a little one paced throughout and once you’ve heard one track you’ve heard the album. Lots of people have done what he did but better- John Martyn for one!

I spent the whole album wondering why this music reminds me of 2000s Indie music, and then I realized Nick Drake is on the Garden State soundtrack, and it all made sense.

прикольная гитара, но скучно и однообразно 5/10

Very stripped down.

Listens: 3 Standout Tracks: Pink Moon, Places To Be I must admit, I'm a bit annoyed that Nick Drake puts out 3 albums and all three - his entire discography (while he was alive) - is on the List, and that means one or two other bands with perfectly good albums aren't on the List. Is Nick Drake talented? Yes. Is the music pleasant? Sure. Is this album particularly groundbreaking or fundamentally different from Bryter Layter and/or Five Leaves Left. Arguable (though definitely the best album cover). This album is short. That's probably a good thing. The songs blend together. It's tough to parse out when one song ends and another begins. That makes it a lot harder to review. On its own, its a fine entry into the List. But knowing that all three of his albums are also on it diminishes the impact of the artist. 3

Disco visceral!

3.5

Scarno, essenziale, intimissimo

el primer tema ya no me gusta como se escucha. tipo el sonido esta raro, lejos. No me mato. como que es un buen album para tener de fondo porque no molesta. pero es eso, no genera nada tampoco (por lo menos me paso eso)

Just ok

A really lovely, intimate album - stripped back instrumental, no vocal effects, just guitar and voice. It's really easy to get lost in the calmness of the album. It's really lovely to listen to, but you have to be in a very specific mood for a lot of it to hit. The album itself is very short, 27 minutes, with one or two songs being around a minute long. These were nice tracks to break up the album, with one of them being purely instrumental.

This was a really good listen. Very reminiscent of early to mid 2000’s folk. I kept having to remind myself this album is from the 70’s. Great Sunday morning music

There is something hauntingly beautiful about Nick Drake's final album. The surrealist lyricism on tracks like Things Beyond the Sun and Parasite give the music an otherworldly quality, whereas the choice to strip all other instruments than his guitar from every track but the titular fills the album with a certain amount of melancholy. As Drake grows more and more isolated, so does his guitar, his music reflecting his mind perfectly. One of the greatest albums of all time, no doubt, but not in my top 25, likely. 4.4

What a gorgeous album! I know a lot of the songs, but hadn’t heard the album. Very glad to add this to my relisten pile. Very simple acoustic arrangements, but the melodies are gorgeous, and he has a unique and beautiful voice. (Side note, listening to this also made me realize I have been conflating Nick Drake and Nick Cave… and I had a sprinkle of Nick Lowe in there confusing me further- it’s all much clearer now)

Stunningly beautiful album. How have I never heard this before? Going to be hard to listen to any other album this week. Beautiful voice, stripped back acoustic guitar only, just an incredible 28 minutes of beautiful songs.

Ok

great. TODAY'S BIRD: Pink Robin

Just a beautiful record.

A personal favourite, and maybe his best in my humble opinion

I dont listen to Nick Drake often but when I do I always enjoy

Lovely album, maybe not his finest but still a pleasant listen

I know I should like this and I’ve tried hard quite a few times over the years including this morning to find a way to do so, but I just don’t I’m afraid. In no way terrible just doesn’t grab me. 2 stars. Tom.

Too repetitive for me. I like the tracks pink moon and road.

This album is too short and Nick Drake died too soon.

- Easy to listen to - Vaguely melancholy - Not necessarily my speed - Enjoyed 'Pink Moon'

love it. for me it was like discovering a unsung diy hero

Et av de beste albumene noen sinne laget. Tårer i øyne.

Kan høyre meir på dette

Veldig fint, kommer tilbake til det. Litt ubestemmelig årsak, aknskje fordi Sondre likte det så godt.

Great voice, not into the "guy with his guitar"...

3 out of 5 Much better than I expected. Some echoes of Dave Matthews.

One of my all time favourites

Drake strips the production of the prior 2 records to create this stark masterpiece!

I've tried to get into Nick Drake a number of times in my life since first seeing folks hype him as a forgotten genius. It hasn't really taken, but i tried to come into it with fresh, unbiased ears. Drake's music feels sleepy, sort of like an early autumn day, light drizzle, cup of coffee slowly going cold as you sit alone with your guitar. Which isn't a bad vibe, just one that doesnt really inspire me personally. I can see why it might be nice and meditative for others. Top track is probably Road, which i really liked the guitar on. 3* all together.

10/10

This was a beautiful album. Simple but powerful.

Siento que tanto chris martin como jack johnson habran usado este album como la biblia, o cualquier melancolico nostalgico que le guste un poco el folk. Me deprimio un poco pero suena muy lindo 3,75

Foundational album. Without it, there’s no Elliot Smith, no Sufjan Stevens, no Neutral Milk Hotel. So intimate, so pure. A must for everyone

Great guitarist (Road/From the Morning my favorites). Vocals a little too delicate but one I could see myself coming back to

Mercifully short 🙏🏿

Hauntingly beautiful

Not for me, didn't enjoy this at all. Not my type of music. Wasn't horrible, but also wasn't anything I'd want to listen to again.

I really love the instruments on this album - his voice is not my favorite, but I will return to this album.

Viva Nick Drake y todos los sonidos adyacentes al folk.

Beautiful album

Less is definitely more with this album. Not only is it stripped right back to just Nick Drake and a guitar. The album runs for a grand total of 28 minutes. It is melancholic and beautiful and sparse.

I like Bryther Layter a bit more but this is still a perfect record. Nick Drake was a genius.

This was a good album to listen to It has good acoustic guitar playing and emotional depth

I really enjoy this album as a whole and especially more so after my second ever listen however there are no standout singular songs at this current point for me and I kind of mean that there are no songs just yet that leave a remembering mark. That could change after a few more listens and there definitely will be more plays in the future. I love the album artwork too. 3.5

i’m really sorry i just don’t get it and i find it boring

Tunnelmallista mies ja kitara meininkiä

A singer-songwriter album that you are either gonna love or hate. Funny enough, I didn’t love it or hate it. It just exists. I may have to circle back and give it more a chance to grow on me.

nick drake the goat

Beaucoup de mal avec l’album trop triste pour moi,

Free Ride was my fave. Dreamy. Wanna blast it down an empty road on a late spring day with the windows down.
