In my opinion their best album and easily the most influential album of its genre for me. The first time I heard that Moog sequencer blob about I fell in love with its sounds and still haven't gotten bored of it. Incredible record.

The name didn't ring a bell but of course I've heard There She Goes before, albeit I think as some cover version around the millennium. Well, overall it's exactly what you'd expect: early 90s alternative-ish rock. That's about it.

This would’ve just been called AOR had it come out 15-20 years earlier. But Wikipedia calls it sophisti-pop or whatever since that wasn’t cool in 2000 anymore. Well, it's okay, nevertheless.

I listened to this album and Nick Drake in general quite a bit, almost a good 20 years ago, and remember this album used to hit me a lot harder back then? Well, anyway, I mentioned not too long ago on some other album's review that singer-songwriter folk is a tough one for me because it's generally comprised of so few elements that even if one of them isn't to my taste, it ruins the whole experience. But Nick Drake luckily is one of those in who's work everything is just right for me. Having heard all the albums again during for this list, I think Pink Moon might be my favourite, but all of them are excellent regardless.

Was a bit sceptical because on paper this sounded like some sort of comedy release and that mixed with blues – which I'm not particularly fond of – sounded like a struggle. But it turned to be quite okay actually. Sort of psychedelic, rooty, experimental-ish, I guess blues, to some degree? Well, anyway, it was a pleasant surprise.
