Well that was horrifically depressing. Less than two years after this album came out, Nick Drake committed suicide. This whole album actually plays out like one long suicide note. There is no anger, angst, or desperation. It is just so full of resignation and sadness.
I am not a huge Nick Drake fan (though thanks to the list I have listened to all his albums) but there is something extraordinarily tender and sweet in his songs. Maybe the world just wasn't good for a soul as beautiful as his. I would say get ready to cry if you listen to this album, but I feel like misrepresents it. It won't leave you sobbing, it will just leave you forlorn and lonely. Listen to it if you must.
RATING: 4/5
