 ... refreshingly truthful, as that’s what he was. I think it’s a shame more singers don’t have the confidence or honesty to retain their own accents, and not assume some kind of Mockney or trans-atlantic pronunciation. Nick Drake was not the greatest singer in the world technically, but he was certainly competent, and for me, the immediacy and emotion that his voice conveys put him up there amongst my favourite singers. He sounds vulnerable, rather shy, but determined to commun ...more

Crowned Review Way To Blue: An Introduction To Nick Drake - Nick Drake: 'Lend a hand and lift me to your place in the cloud' (3782 words)

It’s hard to know what to say about Nick Drake’s life without sounding trite or sentimental. Yes, I know this is a review of an album, and not a biography, but like most fans, I find his life fascinating, if depressing, and I think it’s necessary to know a bit about him to understand the Nick Drake ‘phenomenon’, for want of a better word. Nick was an English singer-songwriter born in 1948. He released three exceptional albums during his life, which were received by the public with great indifference, partly because of his refusal (or inability, due to intense shyness) to tour and promote his work. He became more and more alienated, lost ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review For Folk's Sake (760 words)

Way to Blue is a gathering of tracks taken from Nick Drake's 3 albums 'Five Leaves Left' (1969), 'Bryter Layter' (1970), 'Pink Moon' (1972) and a compilation of unreleased tracks called 'Time Of No Reply'. Critics and artists alike speak of Drake in oft-reverential tones and it's easy to see why. A lot of the tracks here are over 30 years old but sound remarkably fresh and interesting. I was initially surprised at how string laden Way To Blue was. Nick Drake's music is uncomplicated folk yet all the while an 8 piece orchestra does its stuff in the wings. 'Hazey Jane I' uses the string section to creates a ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Way To Blue: An Introduction To Nick Drake - Nick Drake: sublime and simple (188 words)
by - written on 10/12/00 (Useful, 172 readings)
Rating:

I first encountered Nick Drake on a film soundtrack and was hooked on his simple but beautiful songs. I wanted to hear more of his stuff and this is the perfect cd to start with. The cd is stated as an introduction to Nick Drake and it contains songs from all his albums. If you're sometimes tired of listening to all that rock music and you need something more soothing then this solves the problem. NIcks's songs are all very stripped down and use acoustic guitars, sometimes strings and the odd other instrument and backup vocal. HIs voice is very calming and never once bcomes aggressive. River Man is probably the best song on the album and the one that ...  Read the complete review

Under Satanae - Moonspell
It's excellent to hear the band rerecord old material. The album brings nothing new to the genre of dark metal.

Ungentle Exhumation - Cryptopsy
Affordable way to own a previously rare and historically significant item. Still sounds similar to much tech-death, and brief at only four tracks.

Unraveled - Confessor
Talented and creative modern doom metal. Becomes samey, and requires a taste for slow music.

Unveiling The Essence - Cirith Gorgor
Creative melodic black metal for black metal fans who hate melodic black metal. May not be stylistically consistent enough for traditional listeners.

Use Your Brain - Clawfinger
Heavy Metal - 2007

War Of The Worlds - Crimson Glory
Heavy Metal - 2000

Waves Of Visual Decay - Communic
Progressive metal for prog haters. Still sounds a little bit too much like Nevermore, but nevermind.

We Have Come To Take Your Jobs - Kultur Shock
Superb music Not quite as good as Kultura Diktatura in my eyes

Unappreciated - Cherish
R&B & Soul - Soul - 2006

Units In The City - Shawty Lo
A couple of good tracks Terrible rhymes
