The theme of 1970s solo work seems to be whining. This album really reminded me of John Lennon's album a couple albums back. At least this album seemed to be a bit more self aware; the song "Poor Boy" seems to be making fun of himself. Apparently he was pretty upset that every virtually ignored Five Leaves Left.
Nick Drake has a really soft, sexy voice and it is never better than in this album. The instrumentals were really cool; I felt like I should be sitting at a bar waiting for an assassin or something. Overall, a little obnoxious but Drake had his fair share of problems so I really didn't expect anything more.
RATING: 3/5
