I'm having a tough time appreciating his non-Pink Moon albums. I think it was a bad place to start, as now everything just seems too full and bloated. I'll have to listen to 'Five Leaves Left' again with a more open mind.
I'm the same way.

I definitely like the solo Drake sound better. Pink Moon is excellent and some of the stuff that got on his 'Way to Blue' comp is good/great. But I find a lot of the songs on the other albums unlistenable. Often the strings and other embellishments kill it for me.
