If I were still 20, a smoker, and living in an apartment I could definitely see the appeal of this album. It is quiet and sad and would make good music for a night sitting out on the balcony talking with friends and feeling all alone. But happily I'm no longer 20 and have a wife, a house, a great dog and a wonderful life and so the music's appeal is a bit lost now. I guess I've discovered Nick Drake too late in life to really appreciate him.
Maybe this is why they've used the song Pink Moon in a TV ad with youngsters driving around in their convertable and being all reflective. The entire album has that whistful sound and works to bring you down into your thoughts, into the music and it works quite well.
