I have listened to this album a lot over time. I really love it. I actually prefer the UK version cause I really like Out of Time. The 11-minute Going Home is done very well. I like when Mick Jagger settles on a new phrase to keep repeating - ha!

Edit Apr 2 2026: 5 --> 4. I still really like just like I did. Idk if it qualifies to be with the other 5/5s though

Never could stand that dog

While researching about the album I learned about the Native Tongues movement. It has artists like De La Soul (who is featured on this album - and I got their debut already), A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah, and others. Started in the late 80s, it is Afrocentric and positive stuff. Neat to learn about

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 don't like the vocals. And I found the guitar more generic and not too interesting

Edit Apr 2 2026: 2 --> 3. It has grown on me. I keep repeating to myself: YOU SHOULD LEARN HOW TO SAY NO

Truly goated album

BILLLLLLYYYYY SHEARRRSSS

ts did NOT need to be on the list 🥀🥀

I like the lyrics of Coat of Many Colors

Too much soul for me

Still not that big on modern indie. Nevertheless, it was good to finally listen to Elliot Smith to see what all the fuss is about

It’s quite beneficial for the list to have many albums from certain artists. Yeah, people complain a lot about it, but I think it would be worse if every artist was limited to one or two albums. Having many albums from one artist gets you lots of repeated exposure, cause sometimes it takes longer for something to grow on you. It can force you to discover things you otherwise wouldn’t have

Why is this lowkey peak. Someone commented "The music that plays when you get kicked out of a cantina." and that is TOTALLY the 2nd track HA. For the 3rd track it was giving Animal Crossing and I love it. I also love the title track, and The Mountain

The most bland 80’s British pop album to every bland 80’s British pop

I like how the songs change around during each song. I dig the energy. I'm not sure how I feel about the production

I used to like this album more, but now I find it a bit too pop-y for me. This Town is nice

I don’t like modern indie that much. I DID like the closing track though. What is it with me and liking opening and closing tracks…

I vibe with this different stuff. I don’t like the term “world” music, but alas I do find myself more likely to like the non-US/UK/Western albums

I honestly thought it would be more interesting… it was just very… mid… and plain…

I ABSOLUTELY adore Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed, so I really like hearing the sample in Can I Kick It?

RAHHHHHHHH HARDCORE PUNK
