Hit: 5 Stars

Hit: 5 Stars
I didn't get into the album at first; mostly listened to the title track. But one day I listened to it while stressed out over a test, and kept listening over and over. The songs are lovely, simple, and always leave you wanting more. Nick Drake has a fantastic voice perfectly matched to his songs, which are best heard in a car with the windows down at night, looking at the stars through the moonroof.
My favorite tracks besides Pink Moon are Road, Which Will, and Things Behind the Sun, but all are excellent.

Hit: 5 Stars
Sometimes I wish an artist could keep putting out great albums, or movies, or whatever, over and over and over. But it can't happen. If a singer puts out one GREAT album, I guess I should be happy. This is Nick Drake's GREAT album. You can get his other stuff, sure. But get this first. And know, if this is the only Nick Drake album you ever get, that you have his best. What a great album.Free Music Review: A different kind of beauty
Hit: 5 Stars
Thanks to the magic of the internet, I was able to listen to Pink Moon many times (legally!), and it's the most stripped down album I've ever heard. A sound system won't do anything to enhance the music. There is no hidden melodies, and what you hear on the surface is all you get. It doesn't get more stripped down than this. Only one song features a piano, which is the title track. Everything else just consists of Nick Drake, his acoustic guitar, and his thoughts. Really doesn't sound very interesting, I know.
Yet this is the exact essence of one of the meanings of music, putting your thoughts and emotions into music. Nick Drake never felt more stark and empty, so he recorded this. Everything shows that in Pink Moon. Yet while it is empty, there is a beautiful emotion behind it. The right place for this to be listened to is in nature. Nowhere else will Pink Moon will click. Heck, just try blending this album with the ambience of a forest. Focus on the music and what he's saying with the beauty of nature itself. Totally amazing. I get the same feeling listening to this as the same feeling when I sit on a porch in the forest, with nothing but nature, getting this emotion you just can't feel. Why listen to the music that makes me feel this kind of emotion in the place it conjures? Sounds great to me.
The music, of course, will always stand on it's own, no matter where you are. When listening to this, you will forget people and be with yourself. Drake's guitar playing is pretty catchy too. He can make a good melody with his guitar, and it does seem to fit the lyrics well. It's a great thing he makes good guitar lines with plenty of melody, because it's the only thing. It is truly some beauty in this, and the melodies are never boring, just beautiful. Thanks to that, along with his excellent voice, he creates something that will hook you from beginning to end.
For people who want some music as pure as possible, buy this album. Nuff said.
