CRITIC REVIEWS
100
Pink Moon more than anything else is the record that made Drake the cult figure he remains. Specifically, Pink Moon is the bleakest of them all.

Pink Moon has the power to absorb you completely, if you let yourself.

There is a stillness to Nick Drake's music that bewitches anyone who gets near enough, and Pink Moon is its purest expression.

His lyrics are so compressed as to be kind of folkloric haikus, almost childishly simple in their structure and elemental in their imagery.
this cryptic achievement’s a tour of the unknown
a secluded and depressed Nick Drake poured his sufferings into ‘Pink Moon’: an intimate look inside his tortured and patient mind. its concise 28 minutes are charmingly vague, expansive, bleak, beautiful, calming, and candid.

3:44 AM is the time I’m writing this review. I’ve been in quarantine for roughly 3 weeks at this point, and it sucks to not see my girlfriend and my friends during this time.

A really beautiful listen. Soft spoken vocals serenade me with catchy melodies, over pretty chords. A gorgeous front to back listen
While many would call this Contemporary Folk I see elements of what Folk really is at its core on this one. His song writing techniques and voice sound awfully simular to his mother's. Like it was passed down or something. I can almost see Nick looking out his window at 3:00 AM messing with his guitar and being like "What was that? I think I like what I just played...I'll use that. " Pink Moon is a mixture of tradition, nature, legacy, isolation, joy, depression and brutal lyrical ... read more
