"Five Leaves Left" isn't consistently genius-level as "Pink Moon," but there's some gorgeous stuff on there. I didn't care nearly as much for "Bryter," aside from "One of These Things First" (I have to be in just the right mood for "Hazey Jane").
Patrick:
Hazey Jane II doesn't do anything for me aside from disappoint. This whole album seems to be geared a little too heavily toward overproduced 70s pop.
Patrick:
I'm starting to think he didn't have much artistic control over this album, "The Chime Of A City Clock" is such an overproduced mess that it doesn't even sound like the same Nick Drake

Joe Boyd produced the first two. The impression I got is that Drake was unhappy with "Bryter" especially, which was why "Pink Moon" was basically just him and an engineer. I'm not sure, though, how much of the interference on the second album came from Boyd and how much came from Chris Blackwell (after all, look how much Blackwell commercialized Bob Marley's sound on a lot of his Island albums). I think that after "Five Leaves" sold so badly, they probably consciously decided to go in a more poppy direction for "Bryter".
