Reviews (page 6 of 16)

Depressingly beautiful. (Especially knowing what the boy was experiencing in those years and how it ended.) I have always loved this album: song writing, guitar and vocals are just perfect.

My favourite folk album. It's extremely simple yet Nick's voice is extremely soothing and unique and his guitar playing is very impressive. Very emotionally charged album for me and it's hard not to tear up listening to the title track.

Loved this album. Will definitely come back to this album in the future. Absolutely beautiful ❤️

It’s such a gentle album with lots of heart echoed from the acoustics. After reading about him, it’s a shame we did not get more of him.

Absolutely not my type of music

beautiful music

Folk album that’s a 4 (and close to a 5)? Incredible things are happening

No idea what to expect. Excited! Okay I loved this WAYYY more than I thought I would???? Obsessed with the guitar, super chill.

Somber melodic album. Didn't care for the first track but enjoyed the rest. Added two tracks to my library.

Just a little too slow and instrumental for my liking. Soothing but also just not my vibe.

Love the guitar

Kind of soft indie vibes

Track 1: 8/10 Track 2: 7/10 Track 3: 6/10 Track 4: 6/10 Track 5: 5/10 Track 6: 7/10 Track 7: 6/10 Track 8: 6/10 Track 9: 7/10 Track 10: 7/10 Track 11: 6/10 Overall: 6.45

28 minutter med den mest skjøre lo-fi indie folken som noensinne har blitt spilt inn. Det platonske idealet for samtlige kontemporære artister. Selv foretrekker jeg Drake's mer orchestrale Bryter Layter, men det gjør ikke Pink Moon noe mindre perfekt. Er Nick Drake musikkens nærmeste svar på John Cazale? En person som var for god for verden og kun etterlot seg mesterverk da de gikk bort altfor tidlig?

Mens jeg sitter og skriver dette kikker jeg ut av vinduet på snøen som blåser forbi. Her inne er det rolig og snøen ser lett ut, jeg hører bare Nick Drake synge og spille. Hadde jeg gått ut hadde jeg kjent kulden og snøen slå mot ansiktet og alt som nå ser rolig ut hadde føltes kaotisk. Nick Drake er såpass tilbaketrukken i sin stil at man ikke alltid kan høre det vonde og det kaotiske i han. Det er ikke bare tekstene, men også den upolerte gitarspillingen vekker ettertanke. Det ligger et ubehag i gitarspillet på "Know". Ikke fordi han spiller dårlig, men at han bruker det uperfekte spillet til sin favør. Det er helt utrolig hvor godt han får til følelser kun med gitaren. Jeg har problemer med å forestille meg hvordan denne plata kunne vært med andre musikere i tillegg, siden gitaren allerede fyller så mye. Nick Drake er på mange måter kanonisert i ettertid, men fortsatt ikke noe household name som Leonard Cohen og Simon & Garfunkel. Det fortjener han.

poprockens historie fins det to klipper når det kommer til akustisk gitar. Det er Bert Jansch og Nick Drake. Der hvor Bert Jansch briljerer på det virtuose, briljerer Nick Drake på det kreative spillet. Og Pink Moon, hvor det lune er han og gitaren, er det albumet som viser dette best.

Haunting, beautiful and sad but somehow manages to make you feel good while you listen. Could listen to this on my headphones every night.

Favorite Songs - Place To Be, Things Behind The Sun, Parasite, From The Morning

Soulful and melodic, Nick Drake has coffee shop music down, even if it wasn’t quite called that yet. Just him and a guitar telling stories and imparting feeling. It’s easy for his music to fall into the background, but that’s due to his raspy voice and acoustic guitar. It’s a very cozy album to listen to. I can’t say as to what any given song was about, but I enjoyed the vibes that each imparted.

I have a Nick Drake greatest hits so I know a few of these songs very well and its a lovely melodic listen. I had not realised what a troubled and shortened life he had.

I have heard some Nick Drake tunes popping up on acoustic playlist, in film soundtracks - where his melancholy does the work for the director - but had not sat down to listen to an album of his. Glad I have. Beautifully bare and melancholy, appreciation increased after learning about his life. His sound is often copied now that I thought he was a modern artist - no idea this was written in 1972 and he died 2 years later. Glad he is getting posthumous recognition, but so very sad.

An enjoyable album. A little softer, more emotional, but enjoyable.

This vibe is growing on me but need more time to pick apart!

a pretty good album! need to give it more attention, but it was good!

I thought this would be a depressing slog. And while the subject matters might be “sad bastard,” the album itself is quite beautiful. Kind of reminded me of Chris Bell from Big Star.

beautiful songs and such a mellow and calming vibe. I knew the first 2 songs but I had never listened to the full album

Hauntingly beautiful. So warm yet so melancholic at the same time, and Nick Drake has a lovely voice that’s just absolutely perfect for this album. 5/5

Fav from album was Road

A gentle listen musically, however it is terribly sad and melancholy.

Knowing a bit about the Nick Drake story, this album is beautiful & heartbreaking all at once. The stripped back production makes this album feel like exposing an open wound to the world.

Мій топ-5 альбом евер, ізі.

A very calming, raw album with beautiful lyrics. Favourite track: Which Will

it's just pure brilliance really is what it is.. an artist gone way too soon and not appreciated enough while he was alive. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yeah this one is really nice

Just a guy and his guitar. Felt like an album full of ideas and demos. Not a lot of dynamics or surprises. It was fine, but I wasn't terribly moved by it one way or another.

Pink Moon was overall fine for me. Out of the entire album, I genuinely enjoyed about three songs. Folk music isn’t really my genre, and it’s not something I would normally choose to listen to on my own. Because of that, parts of the album didn’t connect with me on like a musical way. That said, the lyricism stood out. Nick Drake’s writing is very intentional. I could feel what he was trying to express in each song. Even when I didn’t love the sound, the emotions came through, and I found myself relating to the lyrics on many tracks. Every song felt meaningful and the album definitely made me feel something, which I value.

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

This is the closest the list has gotten to a 5/5 from an album I've never heard before. I don't know exactly what would tip it over the edge - honestly it would probably get there if I had some nostalgia wrapped up in it. I don't think there's another song that hits as hard as the title track (which is the only one I knew before this listen) but I enjoyed it all throughout. Maybe Parasite or Free Ride? The sparse production makes for a really interesting mood - if it weren't executed so well it would just be coffee shop music. The writing is interesting, the guitar work is great, his voice is incredibly smooth. The guitar is frequently a little rough in the right ways (the buzzing and percussive plucking sounds you hear on tracks like Free Ride) and occasionally unpleasant (the exact same effect in Know). I'm going to listen to this more and there's definitely a world in which I come back and bump this up to a 5.

I discovered this off...kazaa? limewire? one of those back in high school. I was talking to online friends from the gamefaqs message boards and searching for "sad music songs" online. Keep in mind at this point that I think sad music is like stabbing westward or something equally kind of embarrassing to think about now. I can't remember if it was a friend or a search result that recommended Pink Moon but I downloaded it and it hit me in an area of emotional maturity I don't think I fully appreciated yet. At any rate, I discovered this as a teenager grappling with something I felt would one day crush me beneath it (and it did) so there's no way I rate this as anything but a five. I'm not approaching it rationally even though I think it's genuinely fantastic in its seeming simplicity and listening to it today made me realize that I do still like it even for what it is, not just what it was. It's good! music is good!

Love this bad boy, acoustic greatness

i love it. papakinggan ko siya ulit.

Not my usual kind of music but I like how rawly acoustic it is

Tracks pretty much sound the same from tip to tail. Soft singing hippies just aren’t my thing. They’re like bunnies in the grass… cute as hell, but just there to be eaten.

Really nice record. Vocals and guitar are very relaxing and calming, just nice and chill folk music. Nick’s voice is very distinct, airy, and soft. The tunes he plays are well sequenced and produced and the lyrics complement it very well. Really enjoyed this one.

Loved the chill folky sound of this album. The tracks that appealed to me more than others are “ Things being the sun” and “Place to be”. I” all come back to it in the future for sure and check other albums.

I am a Nick Drake fan. His guitar work and voice were plenty to keep me coming back, not to mention his songwriting skills.

I liked the heavy instrumental focus in the guitar, it was very calming and made me relax.

Kinda sounds like sufjan stevens. Very mellow, I’d have to be in the right mood to listen to this again

I dunno, I just love Nick Drake's music. This is no exception. No notes.

I was a bigger fan at a time, but doesn’t quite carry the weight for me as it once did.

I discovered this one in high school over a decade ago. it was the first of Nick Drake's three albums I chose to dive into, likely because it's his most popular (owing to it being his only album to release in the US during his short lifetime). Five Leaves Left (which I reviewed for album #85 of this challenge) and especially Bryter Layter are adorned with wonderful chamber arrangements with strings and winds, and what feels more or less like a *band* behind Drake. by contrast, apart from a single piano overdub on the opening title track, Pink Moon is just a man and his guitar. that minimal approach lets you focus way more on just how great of a guitarist he was, and it pulls even further attention to his delicate voice, and the harrowing words he delivers with it. "Place to Be" is a great example of this, with its low, open guitar tuning and Drake's yearning for a time when he was younger, greener and stronger. Drake's death at the age of just 26 casts a long shadow over a lot of his work, but perhaps none more than this, his final statement on record. one of the most compelling aspects of Pink Moon is how it shifts between despondence and levity, sometimes within the same song. depression can often feel like laughing to keep from crying! my favorite Drake song, "Things Behind the Sun", features some incredible modal interchange that takes us from minor (dark, introverted) to major (bright, sunny) and back again in the most spellbinding way. (that A lydian chord is the stuff of dreams!) there's also "Know", entirely based around a simple, swinging riff; it's another moment of relative calm, but its single stanza of lyrics throws a lot of ambiguity into the picture. "Parasite" is full of vivid images of sailboats, station bars, churches and the like, but Drake feels himself unable to participate in any of it, instead viewing himself as the titular parasite of the town he describes. I even interpret "Free Ride", on the surface the album's most upbeat song, as a desperate plea from a lower-class person that a richer man might take pity on him, should he ever come calling for it. it reads as a plea for success which, unfortunately, he never truly saw in his short lifetime. that lack of success (due to a combination of poor promotion from his label and the lukewarm critical appraisal he received at the time) inevitably contributed to the mental health issues he wrote about so frequently in his music, and prevented him from completing more than three albums. on the one hand, he deserved so much better from the industry and the music-listening public; on the other, these songs might not have ever existed in this form had his career been more fruitful and profitable (and profitable for whom, exactly?). all we can do now is sit with what Drake was able to give us while he was here, and that's a set of three utterly magical folk records. 10/10.

love the guitar , love the folk , love the rock - balanced well i don’t like british people - accent thing , sound thing ?? at least not too much , he’s cool ig simple but effective yearner beautiful lyrics making me think about my life :| i want to drive through mountains , see green touch a lake sounds real , like resonance idk no surprises source ? :o

Simple acoustic folk album. Not sure I liked it so much but it did feel like an album to contemplate to. Like lay on the floor stare at the ceiling kind of way. It was kind of comforting although short. Although might not listen to it a lot but I enjoyed it. And saddened to read about the artist’s short life. “Horn” was interesting addition, no lyrics just a guitar. It somehow made me feel sad and contemplative?

It's a decent listen. A bit too slow for my taste, but the vocals and guitar are really pleasant to listen to. Song I liked the most from the album: "Things Behind The Sun" Final rating: 3/5

Liked it. It's very mellow and calming. His voice is so smooth. It just feels a little repetetive

Definitely one of those albums that I’m grateful for existing in its influence. However it’s really not something that grabs me in a a way that would ask for repeat vists. I’m definitely too playlist minded and vibes focused in my current musical consumption to consider this more than an addition to one of my mood based shuffle lists. Some good tracks for ambience and coffee shop vibes. Lyrics are not offensive and the story is partially what keeps my attention. Standout tracks: Parasite, Place to Be, Things Behind the Sun

Late night listening, or on a walk

Persisted through on the understanding there might be something that would resonate in there. Didn't find it.

Perfect forever

Its alright, mellow. The guitar tends to be a bit repetative though.

I love this Album.

A beautiful album. For me a lovely example of Drake finding a balance with his heartfelt vocals and the passionate strumming of the acoustic backing (wet as you like). Initially feel Five Leaves Left speaks to my depressive qualities more acutely but this remains a stunning album, if not for everyone.

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.

If you ever find yourself alone with half an hour to spare, this album is one of the very best ways you can spend it. It's a perfectly distilled, contemplative, and emotionally raw album that remains understated whilst being deeply expressive. It sings of the beauty that can be found in the darker aspects of existence. I think this is Drake's best work and whenever I listen to it I somehow feel renewed. This is one of my favourite albums of all time and I think it takes the crown for the best in it's genre. Its a perfect album that I will continue to return to.

Sehr ruhig und entspannt. Minimale Instrumentation.

It took me all 28 minutes of this album to finish scrapping the ice from my car windows. If I had listened to anything but this extremely calming album, I may have punched a hole in the windshield.

I usually take the time to listen to an album before I rate and review it, but Pink Moon always has a certain chair reserved in the first rows of the theater of my brain, so I always see it and Nick Drake wandering around in different times of my day-to-day life. Nick Drake went balls out on Bryter Layter wanting to make a commercial hit, sadly failing, so now for his next outing, he pretty much sat in front of the microphone stand, and hurtfully sang the outro credits of his own movie. While he didn't leave a suicide note, I believe whatever he wanted others to know about him and his feelings that drowned him, is on here. Nick mused about a plethora of things that were breaking him apart: his vices, growing apathy and alienation from others, and his disillusionment with life and people. A silent scream for help, if you will, belched in a way only Nicholas Rodney Drake could: with a guitar in his hands, shattered in a million pieces, and drenched in a million little metaphors and signs, that mostly end up being blown into the meadows, never to be seen again, but one day blooming into these beautiful fields. (Also, Nick has the rare accolade of being one of the key influences in my own writings back in high school. Just wanted to put it out there)

Felt intimate and raw loved how it was just a guitar and whispered vocals. Love the folk vibe just a really good album.

Personally not for me. The overall melancholy sound just doesn’t scratch my indie folk itch in the way I expect. Some songs I did enjoy (the happier sounding ones) but overall it’s not an album I’d return to.

I already knew this album but never listened to it all the way through. Loved horn, an interlude is always great. Not much variety, but that makes for a very cohesive album.

This is not what I would normally check out, but that’s the purpose of the generator, right. This album had a somber beauty to it (probably because of Nick Drakes mental state) and would be a good vibe for a melancholy today. The melodies and guitar melodies/tunings were quite interesting. 4/5

Similar to music that I enjoy but was slightly whinny very short like 30 min

One of my favourite albums, yet some how my least favourite Nick drake album. Unbelievably good singer songwriter.

What an awesome listen, great album

Melancholy, somber. Matches the gray sky on this day after Christmas, and yet it's a welcome release. "Parasite" captures the mood of the album, which takes you down a notch, maybe just the thing after holiday hustle and bustle. Would I feel the same in the summer? Don't know, but it fits the moment.

A hauntingly beautiful set of recordings showing us a snapshot into the mind of a great songwriter but also a deeply tortured set of souls. The vocals are gravelly in a perfect way and the acoustic guitar is lovely through the whole record, I particularly loved "Parasite" but every song was amazing.

Kannte ich noch gar nicht. Super. Mag ich sehr.

Alright and kind of nice to listen to while doing dishes in the morning but I don’t need to listen to it again.

Not the most festive album to listen to on Christmas Day. It’s okay. I like the simplicity and the minimalism of the album, but it’s difficult to distinguish one track from another. It’s difficult to escape the notion that Nick Drake’s music became more popular because of his tragic early death. From what I read, the album was not a big seller at the time and it wasn’t well received. After his suicide, its reputation increased bit by bit and now we are told that it is an essential album. It really is. Elliott Smith is better. Pink Moon is good, but it’s not great. I wouldn’t recommend, but it didn’t annoy me and I didn’t drift away while listening, so I think a 3/5 is fair.

Excellent singer-songwriter album 4/5

So much raw pain in the voice. Nick and Jeff Buckley died so young but left a big mark in music. Amazing album, and im sure many more amazing albums would come from such a fascinating mind if only things were slightly different for him. :(

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

гарно на фон, мелодійно, гарний голос, цікаві прийоми , загалом норм

can't stand this idiot, can stand this album

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.

This used to be one of my favorite albums. It is now once again one of my favorite albums.

Listened to this on a cold, rainy morning

Very neat, Åkerfeldt!

lovely music to have in the background while studying or focusing on something. toegevoegd aan bibliotheek

Bem bunda

I’ve heard the title track track way too many times over the last few years, for whatever reason. It seems to make a lot of playlists. The rest is solid enough.

what a mood.

linda voz, lindas letras, mas não é meu tipo de música.

Nick Drake is exactly my style

Melancholy, understated, moving

One of the most beautiful albums ever recorded - can be played back-to-back without fatigue.

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

Nope! Wasn’t feeling that one.

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Every song is great, and the whole record is just over 30 minutes long. The only song with any overdubs is the title track, and all the rest feel so live with even little clams here and there. Listening to this on speakers feels like Nick Drake sitting there playing an intimate concert just for you. Beautiful.

Can't tell i really liked it. For me — a bit too boring. Hope it'll find its appraiser. Album cover's nice tho

Gentle, mellow music.

Fav Tracks: From The Morning > Free Ride > Things Behind The Sun Current Fav Album: Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd (#11/1089)

Melancholic

Soft rock - soothing

Good vocals, low key rock

Redundant, repetitive, and unnecessary since we already reviewed a Nick Drake album. It’s not like he ever changed his sound, went electric, discovered distortion, or sang happy tunes. This album may get preferential treatment because it has that one song (“Pink Moon”) that became popular when it was used in a Volkswagen commercial decades after he died.

Very chilled and relaxed vibe, set the tone for my day, really liked it

Very chill and peaceful but didn’t stand out to me

So, I got all 3 Nick Drake albums now. That's all of his albums too, since he committed suicide. May he rest in peace It's funny, I got his albums in chronological order, and my rating of each album kept increasing every time. I first gave Five Leaves Left a 2, then Bryter Layter a 3, and now Pink Moon a 4. I will have to revisit the earlier albums of his I now understand why he is so highly rated. This album is #36 of all time on rateyourmusic.com! Edit Mar 28 2026: 4 --> 5. This is the same day I listened to it. It made me cry immediately after I finished my 2nd listen. Check my camera roll to remember. And a very good-to-have call after. Funny (and good) timing on the call

I listened to this on the bus in the rain. It was the right ambience for this album. This is something I might put on to take an airplane nap in the future. And I mean that in the best possible way.

Enjoyed the guitar playing and overall I liked it but not blown away by it either.

Really enjoyed this quiet folky album

Pink Moon is much more than a man and a guitar. The very plucking and strumming of that guitar is so skeletal and brittle that it evokes the tragic yet beautiful poetry of these lovely songs. Drake’s vocals are noticeably melancholic, but also warm and honest. This albums songwriting is its strongest quality, but the music itself matches its strength in almost equal measure.

3.5/5 stars…. really good started off strong definitely felt the van morrison vibe. then it started to get a little sleepy. i’d have to listen to his tracks as one offs i think.

Simplicity, bliss. Black coffee, wood furniture. Mornings. Bell, and not in a sad way. Slow it down. I just love the guitar and wow, a breath of fresh fall air.

another album I wish I could rate 3.5

ADORE THIS ALBUM. He is and always will be criminally underrated

quite a melacholic album. Perfect for a wintery walk

Instant classic

The album is so intimate I feel like I could be in the room with him while hes playing. Just beautiful, very much like some of Tim Buckley's earlier works.

The acoustic guitar throughout the whole album was very melodic and peaceful I appreciate the short yet interesting sound within the album.

Beautiful album, somehow painfully sad but not more depressed than I was at the start

Melancholy, I think Nick Drake needs a friend.

beautifully melancholy autumn album to enjoy a winters morning to.

One of my all time favorites

I've said it before; singer/songer-writer and lyrics first albums are going to have a tough time getting a good rating for me. That said, this album is beautiful. One of the best minimalist albums I've listened to. I think a big part of it is that I'm also a big Beck fan, and I can hear how much influence Nick Drake has had on Beck in this album. Also one of the first albums here that ended and I immediately replayed it. Love it.

Album molto cozy, un po' malinconico. Perfetto per un giorno di pioggia come oggi.

It was chill and ok

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.

dit is de meest beluisterbare van de drie

Wonderful, saved

The Pink Moon was one of the most famous moves out of Len Houmous’ Sex Manual. He reckons he gained 3 but lost 6 wives using it. 4.4 3/11 Road

Acoustique, redondant

Not my cup of tea

It’s a character flaw of mine to get bored after more than a few slow songs in a row, but this never bored me. Very pretty songs, though none that really stood out for me.

A forever favorite

11 Songs auf 27 Minuten. Weil hier nur genau das gemacht wird, was unbedingt sein muss. 10 Perfekte Songs und ein Interlude. Eine ganz persönliche, irgendwie nur intuitiv erfassbare Form von Musik die sich in dein Herz setzt und da bleibt, for it is the parasite.

Excelent.

I really wanted to like this and I listened to it twice, but both times it never captivated me. I enjoyed it, and a few songs grabbed me but it was not outstanding. Not as good as the first album, which I found a lot more appealing.3 stars

Really nice but just ended up drifting away from it. Similar experience to Khruangbin, nice, background vibes. 6 / 10 Best track/s: Which Will, Pink Moon

In 27 minutes has more emotion than most 2 hour movies

A nice, gentle folky album. Short and (mostly) sweet, with little instrumentation other than Nick Drake and his acoustic guitar.

Well, reading Nick Drake’s Wikipedia article is definitely depressing. He was certainly a very good acoustic player. The album is very sparse and I think that really makes you focus on the music. “From The Morning” was my favorite track and overall I enjoyed the melancholy folk. Reminds me of an amazing artist called Cinder Well who performs similarly haunting and raw music. I will give this a few more listens to really let it settle in but I agree it’s a good album and gives a different perspective than a lot of the list so far.

"Pink Mood" is a record is built on the foundation of Nick Drake, his acoustic guitar, and his voice. The only notable deviation is the title track, which includes a brief, melodic piano overdub that complements the main guitar line. This extremely sparse arrangement is consistent throughout the eleven tracks. Drake’s vocals are generally soft, breathy, and subdued. This delivery provides an intimate and personal feel to the material. The album’s central musical strength lies in Drake’s sophisticated fingerstyle guitar work. He employs an intricate picking style and, significantly (I discovered), utilizes alternate tunings extensively, which results in unique harmonic voicings and textures across the tracks. His control over guitar dynamics is a crucial element, providing variation and emphasis within the solo performances. The mood of Pink Moon is sad and melancholic. The songs are gentle and melodic. While the album’s sound is subtle, it's a compelling listen. For me, personally, this is not casual listening, I would have to be in the mood for really listening; perhaps, in a reflective, plaintive mood, sitting alone, one winter's evening, with a glass of wine. Four stars. Side one 1 "Pink Moon" (5/5) 2 "Place to Be" (4/5) 3 "Road" (5/5) 4 "Which Will" (4/5) 5 "Horn" (4/5) 6 "Things Behind the Sun" (5/5) Side two 1 "Know" (4/5) 2 "Parasite" (5/5) 3 "Free Ride" (4/5) 4 "Harvest Breed" (4/5) 5 "From the Morning" (4/5) Total - 48 Average - 4.36 185/1001 101/185 albums reviewed were new to me.

I think I need to come back to this album. I can tell it is an album that requires undivided attention, not passive listening that can be done with a rock or a pop album. May change to a five down the road.

very cool. I would like to learn these songs on the guitar.

Thoroughly enjoyed this album, much more than the other one. I listened to from this list. You can hear the melancholy and sadness, there’s a confidence behind it that I really appreciate. I think it’s a four star production, some really cool tunes. It’s a shame he died so young.

good background for algebra 2 studying

Though all who know me, are AWARE of my disdain for Nick Drake, my dear friend K Hole leant me this album and I'm forced to admit, I did not HATE it. It was better than I expected. OKAY?? ARE YOU HAPPY?????

I can hear the influence this had on Mac DeMarco and Gorillaz. Quiet indie guitar’s origins.

Escutei na adolescência e foi amor imediato! Praticamente um violão e a voz suave e melancólica do Drake. As letras são profundas. Deprimente e belo.

This album seems so familiar despite the fact I don't think I've ever (intentionally) listened to one of Drake's songs. As a folk lover, this is an instant favorite for me. I love the pared back melodies and melancholic lyrics

First time listening to Nick Drake after hearing much about him. I thought the guitar playing was stellar, and really creative songwriting, but most of the tracks failed to resonate with me. Maybe I just heard this on the wrong day, I might revisit it. Standout Tracks: Road, Free Ride, From The Morning.

First time listening to the album, but knew he was lauded by some “journos” – but not in his time. Its great to listen to a "long lost classic" that is actually good (looking at you Pacific Ocean Blue) Musically sparse, simple melodies, and gentle folk/jazz chord progressions: simple as It’s just a single vocal and a single guitar. The focus is entirely on the songwriting which is quite good. It's dark and depressing. But very very good. This album is a fine example of how very good music can be lost to culture, because business interests fail at “promotion”. Almost a “five”. This is not entertainment its one man exposing his soul. He is putting his world on tape, inviting us in, take it or leave it. Very pleasant, resonant, and clean acoustic guitar, with some stumbles and drops in tempo, but otherwise very well played. Female song writer with a guitar is my cup of tea –emotional lyrics, heartfelt vocals, lone guitar and a breathy voice – check, check, check … just not a female. Lisa Loeb, Kristen Hersch but in the 70s as a man.

Quiet acoustic folk I'm guessing the lyrics are more the focus as the music is basically strumming acoustic guitar

incredible album, one of my favorites. to write be such a good songwriter is the goal

The most important record from ‘72 if you ask me. I guess that’s because I’m a depressive straight white dude but yea.

It’s a lot of guitar. my mom doesn’t really like it. It’s kinda gloomy Vibes, sad- camping, camp fire, rural, slow paced

This was...so quiet and slow. Really quite a bore to get through. Not good.

A beautiful work of elegant simplicity. Spare and personal, often just one voice and one guitar. The minimalism is personal. It is perfect in its raw imperfection.

More of a Bryter Layter guy myself, but all three of Nick Drake's records are great.

One of my favourite albums now. Absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous guitar work and his voice is of an angel.

Monday morning - Nick Drake !!! What are you doing to me. Just the most delicate, beautiful album. Wish Nick stayed with us longer.

Timeless folk plus incredible musicianship

My man Nicholas Drizzy said he was here for a good time not a long time! All he had was his voice and a guitar and that was clearly all the instruments he needed, bravo. I enjoy the simplicity of it and it was genuinely good music.

Dette traff meg med en gang. Rett inn i favorittlista. Hørte albumet 17 ganger på repeat, helt nydelig

Fairly familiar but maybe only listened to ‘Five Leaves Left’ start to finish. Classic Nick Drake sound and maybe a little more stripped back and able to connect than FLL. Pretty quick songs but quite like that. Easy to listen to. Ah and recognise ‘Horn’ from something. A film? Nice little interlude. Enjoyed more than I thought and a really well rounded and written album. Will definitely come back to it

Vraiment cool, petite musique tranquille, pas trop d'artifices, c'est super

Pas forcément mon style vu que c'est un peu mou, mais j'ai bien aimé l'ambiance. De ce que j'ai lu l'histoire autour du gars est vraiment intéressante et les lyrics aussi, mais y'a toujours ce problème de pas vraiment écouter les lyrics quand c'est en anglais

Main reason why I joined this project is because there's a lot of bands and perfomers, who I know about for 20+ years, but would never sat down and listened to them on my own, unless I have a "good reason". While I'm not a big fan of folk rock, the story of Nick Drake and the fact that he had no hits, but such a huger reputation among true fans of music always fascinated me, and finally I had a reason to actually listen to him. The bad thing is context. I got this album first and I wish I had listened to the previous two prior. His final release, short songs, no additional musicians, just him, depression, his voice and acoustic guitar. If feels dark, but kinda empty without context, even tho this "emptiness" is of course, not a "lack" of something, but deliberate minmalism. It felt like I'm listening to the album in a wrong way and I need a key to get it right. Luckily, the album is short and I had more time yesterday, than I usually have for "new" music, so I had a chance to listen to it again. And on the second listen it grew so much better on me. So... I'd give it a 4, but I sincerly feel, that I would love it more with every listen, so I'll give it a 5 in advance, so I don't need to edit it later.

this album could bring me back from the dead

Probably the second-best White-Guy-With-A-Guitar artist on here.

Pink Moon was really good…. I hate minor key folk

This guy is the 2nd worst Drake

Armonious and very chill guitarist. Perhaps too chill...

So chill

Really nice listening music

No me gusta tanto como otros discos suyos. O quizás es que es demasiado parecido y menos inspirado.

good 3.5

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

Brings me back to the VW commercial, but beyond that this is just a very pleasant, warm, folksy album I gotta have in my rotation.

What a peacful masterpiece.

Some albums just find the perfect day to match

It was an enjoyable listen but pretty forgettable and never really dragged me in. It was easy to forget that I was listening to it.

Amazing album

Being primarily a 70s music fan, this seems like something I should've heard, yeah? But I don't recognise any of these tracks. They're really good. Musically, the genre is (very straightforward) acoustic-guitar folk. Nothing revolutionary in that regard. But something about it is oddly warm and comforting. Drake's voice is soft, lilting, just a tiny bit gravelly. Louis Armstrong and Don McLean – though the latter might just be due to the two artists having similar melodies/songwriting. I was listening to Place To Be when I wrote this part of the review, and it really does sound like a McLean piece. The arrangement is about as simple as you can – guitar and vocals – but the guitar is played tremendously well (as well as it can be while remaining soft and understated), and the vocals aren't half bad either. A master-class in "less is more". It's reminiscent of John Martyn, or a stripped-back Nick Cave, or a slightly more positive Leonard Cohen. The back-to-back songs Road and Which Will have guitarwork that reminds me of Irish folk. I have to imagine it's intentional. The melodies in all tracks are superb, and not a single one overstays its welcome. Not a hard criterion to fulfil, though, given the average track length is 150 seconds, and the full album is under half an hour, making it one of the shortest entries on this list. But, as William Henry Harrison would tell you from beyond the grave, brevity can be a strength, because there's less time for anything to go wrong. I'm missing any sort of energetic peaks and troughs throughout the album, what with every track having essentially the same texture as the last, but that's the only obvious negative. As another user wrote: "Each song is a gentle lullaby, and if you ever need a soundtrack for a crisp autumn walk, this is it." 4/5 Key tracks: Pink Moon, Road, Parasite

I didn’t realize how much I might like Nick Drake. Underspoken, moving, and one of the shortest albums on the list. I actually could have listened to this for an hour.

I enjoyed this album more than Five Leaves Left, but Nick Drake still isn't my favorite

I love the acoustic vibe

Very well written just not my style

Nick Drake's voice is very smooth and soothing. Pink Moon is a great introduction, with interludes like Horn keeping the melodic flow going throughout. This smoothness, however, detracts in the way it is hard to connect with the piece, especially if you are not solely focused on it. As a singer songwriter, you must be able to connect, and I did not feel that as much within this album. However, that may be mostly on me and the way listened to the music.

Good album. Preferred his first one but this is still good.

A nice chill album, with a beautiful voice. I didn’t love it though.

Nice and soft, but also a bit boring.

Haven’t listened to this album since a guy I had a crush on recommended it to me in my early 30s. Over 10 years later, let’s see how this holds up. Had to give the album a second listen. First time I was out running errands. Pink Moon requires your full attention, otherwise easily drowned out by sounds of life. Everything is so delicate. Lovely. No need to add to my regular rotation, but this album absolutely deserves a place on the list. 5/5

One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life. Why couldn't Nick Drake be appreciated in his lifetime...

An interesting way to accept what your destiny will be, and what a new beginning has to be.

This is the third Nick Drake album we’ve had on the list so far, if I counted correctly. The list maker seems to have an obsession here. The internet states the artist had three albums, so we will have heard the entire Nick Drake collection. It makes me wonder if any other artist/group has all their albums on this list. The acoustic guitar playing is crisp, clear, and mostly pleasant. The lyrics are occasionally hard to pick out. Overall very mellow.

Three Nick Drakes, huh? It's very peaceful and infinitely better than Wilco, but even so, we get the picture. At least this one is space rock. (A little joke for my fans.)

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.

In the final album of Nick Drake's tragically short career, his melancholy sound reaches its logical conclusion. Compared to his first two records, Pink Moon is as lonely and as bare as ever. Almost zero studio overdubs this time around (with the obvious exception of the title track), consisting solely of Drake's poetry and an acoustic guitar. This lack of instrumentation, however, works to the album's benefit, allowing all the focus to be placed on the words and how they are sung. Each track contains subtle changes in mood based on how the guitar is played, which keeps the record from feeling repetitive despite the simple formula. And even if you don't like this type of album, it's only 28 minutes, so you won't have to endure it for long. Standout Tracks: Pink Moon, Horn, Things Behind the Sun, Parasite, Free Ride Score: SS

Phenomenal acoustic album. Actually adding this one to my rotation.

Pink moon is good but the rest of the album is the same thing

Sure occurred.

Au début j’avoue ne pas avoir été hyper emballée par la proposition : une voix un peu average, une guitare sèche, des lyrics un peu comme s’ils avaient été sortis du chapeau de magicien, une quasi-absence de rythme, un air triste… Bref on était pas sur la révélation de l’année pour moi. Puis, au fur et à mesure des morceaux, je me suis laissée un peu emporter par l’alliance voix x guitare, les arrangements simples et la substance textuelle qui allait en grandissant. Je pense que le véritable tournant pour moi a été Horn, vrai coup de coeur alors qu’il s’agit du morceau le plus simple avec quelques notes de guitare. Un album qui passe très bien pour déconnecter de la musique vers laquelle je tends naturellement, qui est saturée de sonorités différentes, et qui parfois me laisse limite overwhelmed musicalement. Ici, on est sur un espace musical qui permet de reprendre son souffle, de décrocher. Vraiment, belle inversion de l’expérience d’écoute. Je crois qu’il me fallait écouter un album de ce type pour repenser un peu à mes écoutes en général. Un 3.75 parce que je pense qu'il y a d'autres albums du même style que j'aimerais encore plus.

Aside from "Road," I don't think this album has anything else to offer. It's fine as background music.

Pink Moon is always gettign recommended to me on Spotify, nice song. Let's see what else this guy is about: A bit one dimensional but nice acoustic background music, probably a 3.5 star if I could.

Impossible to listen to without feeling melancholy.

The other one yes pink filling moon cock

Through no fault of his own, the first thing that comes to mind when I hear his music is New Jersey.

😢 føles længere end den er, men det er faktisk positivt

Lyder varmt og betryggende (men det er det ikke) (kompliment)

Really beautiful.

Solid singer-songwriter-album

Everybody loves this apparently. But not me. It's depressing.

Great album. It was definitely a different vibe from the other albums I have listened to. Its what makes this challenge worth doing because I had no idea who Nick Drake was or even about this album's existence.

Well, now I'm depressed. And want to buy a new car for some reason.

Nice melodies and enjoyable album once you get used to the voice.

I still haven't fully got Nick Drake. It's pretty nice, but didn't click. 2.5

Calming and beautiful.

All timer

Haven't I heard this one before? Pretty sure this is my third Nick Drake and the repetition is probably hurting how much I enjoyed it.

70S UK folk. Intimate singer songwriter album. Gentle, laid back, pretty.

A classic - sparse and beautiful.

Brilliant from start to finish. Hard to put in words but I feel I could listen to this again and again and again and I would not get tired of it. Simply beautiful

Beautiful guitar, beautiful piano, beautiful voice. So soothing, a perfect album

Big day for melancholy

Good all around energy and vibration. Nothing stellar but solid throughout

Of all Nick Drake albums its the only one that truly speaks to me. Simple and sparse, guitar with piano here and there and warm yet clearly troubled voice. I think I used to enjoy it a bit more, I was expecting to give it a 5, but I'm not that sure anymore. Maybe it'll come back in more fitting circumstances. For now a very strong 4/5

I'd heard some of his music on soundtracks before. I would definitely listen to this again. Sadly, gone too soon.

Such a string of strong albums recently. Anyway yeah five stars who cares. I mean it might be hard to put into words the greatness of nick drake but you should just take a listen. It’s the pinnacle of sophisticated minimalism. On it’s face it’s folk. Minimal arrangements usually it’s just Drake’s voice and a guitar or two, but herein lies the rub - just his vocals and guitar playing makes for an arrangement which is both lush and intimate. He’s singing at you while both of you are sitting at the edge of the bed. He’s singing for himself unaware of you watching him. Super intimate and small and well crafted. It feels simple but Drake’s incredible fingerpicking arrangements are very full and narrative. Drake’s delivery is often almost whisper like but so powerful. It’s like he’s using the minimal amount of strength needed to tug at your heart strings. Anyway if you want to hear one of the greatest folk albums, or greatest singer songwriters or just one of the greatest albums of all time this is for you. Five stars.

Nice surprise wanting something mellow for the day!

The sound of Belle and Sebastian, without the rhythmic quirkiness. This is probably the Nick Drake album i like most, but it misses something essential in his delivery.

Pink moon is such a beautiful track and serves as the perfect opener to the album of the same name. The track perfectly sets the tone and mood for the rest of the album, which is full of delicate beauty. The minimalist instrumentation serves the songs well and highlights the strength of Drake’s vocals, especially on tracks such as Things behind the sun. At only 28 minutes the only slight negative is that i would have happily had more, but i guess the adage is leave them wanting more

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.

I so really want to love Nick Drake. I like the instrumentation, I like the lyrics, I like the way this was recorded where you can occasionally hear the squeak of fingers on guitar strings, I like the whole feel of the record. I am just still not sold on his voice - it's just so breathy. On my review of Bryter Later I said his voice felt insubstantial and I'm not sure my opinion has changed much. I do really like everything else though. I particularly enjoyed the song Know as something about that riff really appealed to me (it reminded me of Gomez I think). Last album I said it would have been 3.5 with half marks, but settled on 3. I'm going to say 3.5 this time too but as I like this album marginally more, I'm going to round up. So I'm averaging out to 3.5... 4/5

Solid album I love melancholy.

Been a very long time since I heard Pink Moon. It’s beautiful, of course, but my tastes have veered so far from acoustic singer-songwriter folk, that it’s had to love. Plus a little too melancholy

loved it classic

Good album. Tragic he died so young

A very calming, moody album that I actually enjoyed. Often quiter stuff like this doesn't interest me as much. Maybe it was because I listened on a gray day full of rain, but I did enjoy it and will likely revisit when the mood strikes again. 3/5

a bit boring imo, all the songs kinda blended into one blob by the end. still good record to listen to while working.

Loved this album. Sad and beautiful at the same time.

The first half of the album was a 5/5 for me and the second half a 4/5. The title track Pink Moon is great, but my favourite was Which Will

One man, one guitar, and lots of discordance. This was a nice breath of fresh air. I'd recently reviewed a folk album for a website I write for. So, I suppose I was primed for more folk, but Nick Drake was doing some really cool stuff. I like his voice too.

This album is like having an argument with your long term girlfriend, and then having to sit on a train with her for three hours because you are on holiday and your going to check out the countryside. You know you are in trouble, because as soon as the train pulls out of the station, she announces she is going to the food cart to try and get a cup of tea, and she doesn't ask you if you want anything. You hadn't noticed him until now, but there is an older gentleman sitting on the other side of your booth. Sporting an oilskin coat and an Akubra hat, this man immediately gives the impression that he has a lot of life experience. After your girlfriend is out of earshot, he chuckles to himself, and makes a comment under his breath about young love. You are pretty heated at the moment, and you don't really appreciate this guy taking delight in your struggle. However he apologises, and then begins to calm you down with stories of his past arguments, and the tactics he used to soothe situations. His calming tones have you feeling a lot more relaxed about things, and you soon look forward to your girlfriend returning, so you can alleviate any tension and get back to enjoying your holiday.

This was a really plesent listen with some deep hitting lyrics. Kept it simple so the song meanings could really push through. A nice surprise of an album

Как всегда грустно и скучно, хоть ненапряжно

Very pleasant

Nice somber album. Slow, thoughtful, tinged with regret. Not something I'd listen to every day, but it definitely scratches the occasional itch.

Day 15. Best tracks: Things Behind The Sun, Pink Moon, Place To Be, Parasite NO SKIPS. I'm an elder millennial, and I'll admit that my first exposure to Nick Drake and "Pink Moon" (the title track) was in the Volkswagen ad for the Golf Cabrio convertible. Loved the song since that ad launched 25+ years ago, already 25+ years after Nick Drake passed away. Over a half century has passed since Nick gave the masters to his record company, and no one has crafted a better singer/guitar folk album ever since. Obviously the love for the title track from music fandom is well-established, but the whole album is a lush soundscape with some of the most beautiful and captivating lyrics in popular music. "Things Behind The Sun" was one of my favorites from my time during the COVID pandemic. There is not a single track that is sub-standard or detracts from this timeless album. 10/10.

Melancholic acoustic album that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Very stripped back that works well for a solid enough album.

Listen again

Absolutely beautiful.

Nice folk-ey album. Nice lyrics and I like Nick's voice a lot

I love all Nick Drake's albums, and I am sad there are so few.

A very underproduced album, but the lyrics were great. Pretty different from the other albums on this list. Favorite Songs: Things Behind the Sun, From The Morning

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.

Lovely surprise.

it wasn't bad, but wasn't great

The first song, the title track, is by far the best, and then the next few songs just sound like watered down versions of that. I also wanted more instrumentation. However, there is some good musicianship and warmth here. Top tracks: "Pink Moon," "Know"

Sublte, haunting, contemplative, beautiful. Sounds like mid-90s indie accoustic, but it's a brit from the 70s. RIP a king.

--Pink Moon...first heard this in a gd Volkswagen commercial and my life was forever changed --Place to Be...heartbreaking --Road...chills. this guy somehow creates full soundscapes with just a guitar and his voice --Which Will...he’s vocal styling is basically just whispering but I love it --Horn...interlude --Things Behind the Sun...great lyrics --Know...guitar tone is more raw here. probably intentional but it creates friction with the preceding tracks. his voice is still alluring --Parasite...menacing (which I'm learning has become my favorite word) --Free Ride...things are starting to sound similar. not surprising when the entire album is basically one instrument (technically two: piano on "Pink Moon"). --Harvest Breed...short but interesting guitar diversion. probably included to fill out the album --From the Morning...a fine closer

Too depressing to actually listen to. I prefer Bryter Later.

An absolute timeless classic of poetry- both stunningly beautiful and haunting. No Elliot smith or Phoebe Bridgers without Nick Drake and this album.

I prefer his first album. It is completely not my 'type' of music. However, it truly is lovely but I'm going to have to give a 4/5 for this one.

gentle folk rock album, which is my go to album to listen to fall asleep on planes. Also the title song is absolutely gorgeous and makes you think of what tremendous music he could have continued creating, if not for his tragic death!

A lovely 28 minutes. Have listened to a lot Nick Drake over the years and find his music simple yet comforting. Lead off track “pink moon” is a favorite (and like many my age how I found out about him long after he passed) but overall this album is solid back to front.

Melancólico e belo. Trabalho muito interessante. Pula Unicrom.

It's hard to say why this album resonates with me so much. It's very minimal, with every song (except for the piano part on the first one) consisting of just Nick Drake's unique voice and his acoustic guitar, however it is the definition of doing a lot with a little. The songs don't really have much structure either, most don't even have choruses, just a bunch of verses with the occasional instrumental interludes. So what is it that makes this album not only great, but one of my favorites of all time? Well it's a few things really. Nick's guitar playing is really fascinating throughout this entire album and also so easy to get lost in. He creates these organic, warm guitar tones that just sound so goddamn good and so rich despite their simplicity. Together with his soothing voice that feels very comforting it creates this perfect harmony and just makes me feel things. The album creates kind of a full circle moment with the first titular track feeling like watching the sun rise on a breezy fall morning, while the closer's gentle guitar lead that eventually fizzles out creates this vibe of witnessing the sunset after a long day. The lyrics also enhance this, describing how the night dawns and using this metaphor of night and day as life and death to express the sentiment of benefiting from everyday and focusing on the time we have left. It's a beautiful thought to leave the album on, and brings me to another amazing aspect of the album - the lyricism. I love that it's very poetic, pretty and filled with meaning, while still being quite simple to understand. His rich, mostly nature-based comparisons and metaphors combined with the organic production give you this feeling of laying in the middle of a forest and feeling connected to the nature. Place to Be is a simple song, yet still a beautiful reflection on growth. Which Will comes off as deeply dark and philosophical in a way which is touching and emotionally compelling. Things Behind the Sun is my favorite song here, partly because of the dark, mysterious vibes and amazing chord progression around the chorus, partly because of the genius lyrics. The whole song essentially feels like a conversation with himself, an inner monologue, debating fame, pressure and depression in such a beautiful way. Despite being very simple, this is truly one of the most beautiful and unique folk albums I've ever heard, and the context around it adds a whole new meaning and perspective to it.

I love acoustic guitar and fall vibes music. I enjoyed his voice as well, there was something very comforting about it. Cool album cover also. Definitely wanna go back and give it more thought while listening.

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

It transports me to another time and place that I haven't got to yet.

Guitar not bad, but singing is very monotone and... voring

Beautiful and sad

Surely a contender for worst album art ever, right? That's got to be up there with those religious albums with old women on the cover proclaiming that Jesus has touched them. Obviously I knew who Nick Drake was, his story, his style, but I don't recall ever hearing a single song till now. This was rather nice. Of course I listened to this half-cut in bed, but it was nice. One to revisit. The barren minimalism did wear thin after a while but by then I was sleepy and didn't care.

Despite this sounding like my thing on paper, I thought it was pretty boring

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

Hits so hard in November

I only vaguely knew this album before — mostly because of a short piece by Wiglaf Droste, a German humorist and critic who, like Nick Drake, died far too young. I just looked it up: antidepressants, possibly suicide. The title track is the only song I really knew before listening. It’s a beautiful, romantic piece. This is, after all, a classic singer-songwriter album — and you can clearly hear how Stewart Murdoch of Belle and Sebastian borrowed from Drake’s vocal style. The record has a very introverted, intimate vibe — dreamy and melancholic. The instrumentation is extremely sparse: one guitar, maybe two? It sounds like he recorded it alone at home and just mailed the tape to his label. At only 28 minutes, it’s a short album — and a very beautiful one. Still, I don’t think I’ll return to it very often. The mood — a lonely, depressed young man — just doesn’t quite fit my life right now.

Great vocals and instrumental to the album. Very soft and relaxing to listen to, but a little sad for listening to all the time. Overall really nice album.

Nice, ambient, classic folk sounding. Feels like it belongs in Juno.

Amazing album. I highly recommend it

Talvi synkkä syksy 10/10 henkkoht suosikkeja

Kaunista ja pinnan alla surumielistä folkia. 4/5

Never even heard of Nick Drake before today. This album is positively amazing. So tranquil and beautiful. Will be listening to this again and again.

I'm listening to this album around 7 in the morning on a gray, chilly Tuesday in early November, the day after my most recent temp placement ended, feeling uncertain about the future while I wait to hear back about the next one... I'm not completely focused on the music, but it's providing an excellent soundtrack for this particular moment in my life, you know?

An almost indescribable record. Gone too soon, we are left to wonder what other gems Drake would have gifted us with. The sheer ache and beauty of this record remain untouched.

Very cozy

Soothing! I like this one

I’ve been thinking about how greatness is just another low. Truly the more you listen to this album the better you understand. If you shift your lense knowing that this is fully acoustic, the album becomes amazing. It’s great but not the best. 5/10

Not great
