Wish You Were Here

Just an effortlessly cool album. A lot of fun to listen to, but not as good as some of their other ones.

I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting. I was thinking I'd be a hipster snob and not like what everyone else does, but this is actually a really solid album.

Great album. So weird and different.

Ricardo. Ya tenia en mi cerebro algo de ésto. Welcome to the machine helloooo Nota: 4.0

Trippy

Yeah that was good

While never my favorite Pink Floyd album as a whole, with 1001+ albums, it certainly deserves a spot here. Have a Cigar is amazing and Wish You Were Here is one of my favorite songs ever. The textures on this album are top notch. My issue here is that I have never been able to really latch on to Shine On You Crazy Diamond in the ways I feel its intended. Its good, unique and exploratory but I find it just doesn't stick the landing.

Floyd be Pinkin'

personally not my thing really, but i do appreciate it

I like wish you were here but it's a bit bloody long

I have heard this album a number of times before, and expected going in that I would be rating it a four or five. However, it was really just OK for me today. The three shorter songs are all pretty great. However, the very long “Shine on You Crazy Diamond“, two versions of which bookend the album, just doesn’t do it for me.

I've really only seriously listened to Dark Side of the Moon, so this album was mostly a new one for me. I found this wonderfully depressing.

Headphones and some minor substance abuse really made this album a lot of fun. Production is complex and interesting and the vocals have that lovely haunting quality. I kind of wish it was a little more cohesive as a Syd Barrett concept album/tribute. Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar are both great songs but they don’t really seem to fit the theme. Or maybe they do and I'm just missing the connections. Anyway it was fun to revisit after a couple of decades.

Pink Floyd is either hit or miss for me. I love the Wall. Dark side of the moon is great. Some of the 80s stuff is just okay. This album is great. But I kind of tuned out Shine on you Crazy Diamond. But the album is really good.

#357/1001. 2nd Pink Floyd album here. I always think beforehand that this was the boring album, but after playing realise that this is crazy diamond. But starting to sound very commercial and stadiumsize, somehow it would have been interesting to hear that album made with kitchen utensils and machines or what was it after dark side of the moon. Some great songs, some of good that they play them twice or extend in to 10 minute lengths, but we still tend to forgive them.

> the Beatles Wish You Were Here is one of the greatest songs of all time. Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar are great songs. I unfortunately lose interest in the Shine on You Crazy Diamond segments

Album

not my favorite of theirs, but good

Really solid jam album! I had only heard wish you were here before listening the whole thing down. I am not normally a fan of rock without words but there was such a thick presence that I didn't mind

Shockingly enjoyed this album. Good vibes

Once again another album I listened to not long ago. but it is still about time a pink floyd album appeared on here. So i used to hate pink floyd. I thought they were too slow, too energy sapping and too pretentious to enjoy. Nowadays I see The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon and this some as the best progressive rock albums I have ever listened to. While the other two have certain themes that are easy to understand, this one goes into more of an emotionally complex journey which was clearly inspired by the life and death of Syd Barrett. The first son always sends shivers down my spine whenever I listen to it.I will only give this one four stars but thats only because The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon are better. Although I do need to listen to Meddle and Animals more.

I enjoyed “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” and “Welcome to the Machine,” but the other songs didn’t fulfil me as much. It is a Progressive Rock, Art Rock, and Experimental Rock album that was released on 12 September 1975.

Great album 3/5

Classic Pink Floyd. Again an album I have not enjoyed in its entirity for a while. Enjoyed it!

I used to listen to this album all the time. Perfectly atmospheric, easy listening but intense at the same time. Fantastic work and a classic for a reason

would be 5 stars if the intros wouldnt have been so long

Musically a good album, limited variety. Strong tracks.

If you get the opportunity to make enough records, you will make a road album eventually. Of course, at their imperial pomp, Pink Floyd were in the air on private jets, rather than on the road, and in studios for months, rather than in hotels far from their loved ones, making them further isolated from regular people and their concerns than most musicians. This might explain why Wish You Were Here loses some of the universality of theme that characterised its predecessor - although, isolation may also explain why Dark Side of the Moon tackles broad generalities rather than emotional specifics. It is hard to tell, nine albums in and millions of sales later, how the rock star is meant to connect with anybody. A little luck. Some pandering. A bit of guesswork. Roger Waters certainly doesn't know. And it is amazing that this piece of 'inside baseball' is as successful as it is. He will tackle the core issues of WYWH again later on The Wall, but WYWH is, I think, the more concise, targeted statement - if you can call all nine parts of Shine On You Crazy Diamond either concise or targeted. It's more effective too. For, while the record is not shy in presenting harsh, unpleasant music - Welcome to the Machine and Have A Cigar are intentional grotesques, very hard to listen to for pleasure - it is bookended by some of the angry Waters' most humane and specific writing: a portrait of Syd Barrett, the rock star so disconnected from everybody that his own bandmates hardly recognise him when he visits the studio; and the title track, which also addresses the death of Waters' father. It is hard to gauge what self-awareness Waters has here: in writing about these personal subjects is he being honest and, therefore, creating honest relatable music (universal sentiment mined from biographical specifics) or is he merely feeding material to the machine? Is the Crazy Diamond suite just more myth-building that isolates Barrett - and all rock stars after him - further? Reflecting on the dehumanising effects the industry hand on his friend does nothing to change the industry - it shifts more records and it risks dehumanising him further by abstracting him into mythos. And mythos sells! So when Waters turns that truth into total abstraction on The Wall, creating the rock star avatar, Pink, it feels cheap to me. When he returns to his father's death on The Final Cut, he makes a full album - that's an artistic statement and its a product. Once you're in the machine, it's hard to get out. Even the title track, the most straight-forward sentiment on the album recognises this. It's corny E minor country riff performs authenticity from the get-go, even when filtered through a tight envelop, suggesting a radio speaker - the medium through which all pop music comes to us. When it bursts into technicolour (a closer mapping to The Wizard of Oz than Dark Side of the Moon), it feels more realistic, despite the obvious contrivance. But everything the rock star does is mediated. They are always in the isolation of the vocal booth. Yet, while Pink Floyd acknowledge that here, it doesn't stop Wish You Were Here from being effective. The song is performed at house parties and open mics the world over. Possibly because its sentiment is universal. Possibly because its corny riff much easier than the band's other epic compositions. It's a little luck. Definitely some pandering. And all the guesswork. Once I got deep into Welcome to the Machine, I was certain that I would mark this album lower than expected. I never liked Have A Cigar, but Welcome to the Machine - with its cold washes and dystopian swooshes - felt like seeing how the sausage was made, then having the hard metal sausage shoved down your throat. But I've talked myself out of such sensitive critique. I've talked the album back up. Pink Floyd may be deep inside the machine here, but the machine depends on humanity to keep it running and the humanity here is desperate, sad, and affecting. 4 [our car approaches IKEA as ‘Welcome to the Machine’ plays] Me: “Pink Floyd is making this trip to IKEA feel dystopian”. Fiona: “Every trip to IKEA feels dystopian.” Recently I have indulged in a couple of long(ish) negative reviews. I say indulged because there is such pleasure to be had in negativity. It is moreish, like crisps. Coldplay? Green Day? Why shouldn’t I eat a whole ‚sharing bag‘ in one sitting? Now comes Wish You Were Here to sharpen those pricks of conscience telling me it would be all well and good if I could write a long positive review for a change. Well part of the pleasure of negativity is how easy it is to find fault. Part of the challenge of positively analysing a piece of great Art is that its greatness is often inscrutable. Wish You Were Here is doubly challenging because it genuinely ought to be awful. Successful rock stars moaning about how gross it is to be successful. 25 minutes out of a 45 minute record dedicated to mythologising a former band mate as a ‚legend‘, while throwing in plenty of solos. Synth melodrama. Now that I think of it - my 5 star review for Dark Side of the Moon was wholly negative. I hate this band. Anyway, it’s a really beautiful album. Even, perhaps especially, the solos. Bah. [on the way home from IKEA as the lap steel guitar solo in ‚Shine On… (part 6)‘ plays] The Child: “I don’t want this music.” Me: “Is this not good?” The Child: “No, this is not my favourite.” Me: “What music do you want?” The Child: “I want Bonzo Dog Doh-Dah Band.” 4.5/5

is it objectively fantastic music? yeah, is it also kinda boring? also yeah

Solid!!

Highlights: ALL OF 'EM, BUT WITH AN ASTERISK ONCE AGAIN

This is a great album for letting music wash over you while doing something else. I think it would be a great album if you were doing nothing else as well.

No. 176 Pink Floyd is a very good band. They don't disappoint; this album has good sound. I'm not familiar with their early work, but I liked it.

4/5 https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/pink-floyd/wish-you-were-here/ This guy Pink and I, we just don’t really click. Personally like this more than DSOTM because of the consistency, but the consistency also gets a bit boring sometimes.

Dope

Even though I like other albums by them more than this one, I must admit that this is beautiful and relaxing. I liked it a lot. At times I got bored because it kinda got monotonous but it was still very good. Also, as a paranthesis, fuck Roger Waters.

Great PF album, others are better, but this one is good.

Good

Yeah, who IS pink?

I’m not a big fan of this album, in fact, I think it’s quite overrated. That said, it’s still very good, and I’d struggle to criticise much about it (aside from Welcome to the Machine, which I find to be rather lacklustre). Most of the strengths fans point to here are ones I’d agree with; I just wouldn’t go so far as to join them in calling it one of the greatest albums of all time. Personally, I’ve always found Syd Barrett’s work more exciting and engaging. Overall, a great album, perhaps even a legendary one, but not my favourite Pink Floyd release.

I love me some Floyd

A classic pink floyd album. I enjoyed it.

I didn't get it after the first listen, but after listen two I understood. "Wish You Were Here" is obviously the focal point of this album but it's such a good song, truly one of the best ever, that they get away with the other tracks being a bit unfocused. But as a whole this album works so well and I see why it is such a classic. Top Songs: Wish You Were Here, Have a Cigar

i have unfortunately never bought into the pink floyd hype massively (probably because i haven't listened to them enough) but this is great. listened to the title track a lot years ago, i do really like how varied this album feels but also how consistently good it is

I have had every conceivable opinion on this album at one point or another in my life but I hopefully am now settling on firmly thinking that it is indeed great and I should stop trying to resist albums like this because I'm not a teenager or college Freak anymore, I don't have to be EDGY!!!

Pink Floyd was truly untouchable for a few years, and this is an exceptional piece of work: lush, layered, and trippy, but also deeply sad and cynical. The only mark on WYWH is the indulgence of the final track, which could have made as much impact in half the time if only for greater artistic discipline.

I really enjoy the instrumentals here, it's really calm and evokes many emotions at once especially with its lyrics.

i like the instrument

great album knew this going in the instrumentals are worth it alone.

It’s great but I wish it was more fun

An amazing listen. Of course with Pink Floyd it's heavy music and few lyrics, but the lyrics that are there make you think on them for a while. First listen review would be about a 7.5-8/10. definitely want to listen to this one at least twice more tho.

To be honest, I didn't remember that this album only had five songs and that two of them were over 12 minutes long. I only knew that it included my favorite Pink Floyd song (Whish You Were Here). At first, I thought I wouldn't like it and that it would seem too long, but the truth is, I enjoyed it immensely. I even added the first song (the 13-minute one) to my Spotify playlist. The 8-minute introduction is simply incredible, and that song alone conveys so many emotions. A great album from a great band.

popular stuff, trippy and dreary. good for curling up in a ball on a drizzly grey day

really enjoyed it

Favorite: Wish you were here

kunne godt lide albummet. det var nemt at lytte til, bortset fra støvsugerlyder. kommer nok ikke til at lytte til det igen

Good ol' Prog Rock

Хороший альбом, давно хотела его послушать.

5 songs 40 minutes?? Really? Can we not. It's ok. Yeah I mean great music it's pink Floyd. This is quality shit. Sal was right. It's captivating instrumentals with dreamy vocals. Big fan. If you can hear this you're dying. Why are we in the washing machine. Oh welcome to the microwave I guess. Ok this is actually great. Why am I kinda getting lorde. Could I tell heaven from hell?? Probably not. The real question is heaven or las vegas. Who really knows. Why are there multiple parts to a song. Mr. Pink what are doing. Favourite: Have A Cigar Least favourite: Welcome To The Machine

love it let’s go

Nearly a 5 for me, just dropped a few points on the very long tracks. Probably the most genuine PF album there is.

I'll always have a soft spot for this one but "Shine On..." is just not their best nor should it bookend the album. You can hear the tension between their creative peak and Dark Side of the Moon with the Brechtian mini-operas Roger Waters would concoct for Animals and The Wall, while the also struggle against an industry thats fully burnt them out and longing to know what could have been if Syd hadn't become an acid casualty. It's not their best but even B work from the Floyd gets a solid rating.

Sevdim ama tam benlik değil

Great album - the track wish you were here is a classic

Sounds confusing and mysterious. Are you looking for something? Like the voice part more.4/5

pt 1-5: My only experience of pink floyd before this are some of the popular singles from the band. This track shows another part that i wasnt familiar with. machine: enjoy the vocals and the synth parts, has a modern feel to it 50 years later. All in all the album was a positive experience, could really feel the cultural impact it had on many future releases that ive listened to. 4/5

Great innit

A sprawling, meandering album. I can see why people would both love and hate this.

Joya de álbum, mi primer acercamiento a Pink Floyd.

primo album della lista lessgo e sincero il mio giudizio è un po' influenzato dal fatto che siano i pink floyd che mi fanno pensare a piga. comunque la production mi è piaciuta moltissimo perché è diversa da ciò che ascolto di solito, ma allo stesso tempo ha un sound classico e senza tempo. la canzone che mi è piaciuta di più è stata have a cigar, che mi rocorda un po' west coast di lana. è un album che riascolterei e mmi ha fatto venire voglia di ascoltare di più dei pink floyd.

Previo a escucharlo ya le tengo muchísima expectativa, un pez grande de esta lista. Me es difícil explicar bien qué es lo que siento por esta escucha. No encuentro motivos para decir que no me gustó, pero tampoco para decir que me encantó. Es una maravilla por momentos, muy llevadero (al menos para mí) y, como fanático de los sintetizadores, disfruté muchos momentos. Quizás es un poco polémico, pero siento que Pink Floyd llega a estar sobrevalorado, ya que, si bien me gustó, tampoco creo que sea la maravilla que venden.

Classic!

Espectacular! Invitación a reflexionar, una introspección. Mejor tema: Wish you were here, un clásico que merece el lugar que tiene. Para entender, hay que ver más allá, ponerse en diferentes escenarios y zapatos.

I appreciated this album a lot more as an adult than as a teenager. When this group's music first came out, I thought Pink Floyd's music was just strange. Now, I can appreciate its quirkiness and eccentricities. On the whole, I enjoyed this album.

El album entero es como reflexionar sobre un dolor profundo e imposible de sanar, pero que en el fondo es necesario porque define quién sos, quién fuiste y quién serás para toda la vida. Musicalmente es sublime. Wish you were here, la canción, es un himno necesario en la vida. Le pongo un 4 porque tiene solo cinco canciones, que son muy largas y eso puede abrumar/aburrir en cierto punto, además que a mí me gusta más cantado. Es buenísima la historia de fondo, que en resumen es un album dedicado a Syth Barret, ex-miembro de Pink Floyd, quien se aparecio de sorpresa en una jornada de ensayo o grabacion del disco

It feels like a political manifesto of the artist’s soul. You don’t just need ears to listen; you need a soul to anchor the short lyrics that hits you like a thousand tons of coal. It’s a beautifully dirty experience.

I really like this album. I know I'm supposed to love it but I can't quite get there. It's really good but doesn't blow me away. 3.9/5

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would

A gripping album, and a fitting ode to a friend and a situation Pink Floyd found themselves in. Mix that with the fact that here they were at their apex in terms of creative energy and just the right amount of angry and you get an album that can rightfully be called the best of all time by some criteria.

sad, slow and nice. Moving in ways where there is this river of emotion that ebbs slowly by, sometimes the tide becomes a little stronger, but all in a serenity that makes you think

Pink Floyd es una banda muy buena. No desepcionan, este album tiene buen sonido, no conozco su principios, pero me gustó. En qué lugar lo escucharia? Caminando, en el bus: en algún lugar que tenga presión social. Puntuación: 7/10

Wish You Were Here is probably my favorite Pink Floyd song, and in my Top 50 all time. Great tune. None of the others really speak to me in the same way.

This is nostalgic to me in several ways. Firstly my dad used to play the Pink Floyd concert DVD quite often so it feels like being in my childhood home and so forth. Secondly the boy I was in love with in Canada when I was like 16 was a big Pink Floyd fan and we used to talk about them a lot so they will always be associated with him in my head, even though I haven’t heard from him in years it’s still a nice memory. Thirdly and much more recently, I went to the Brisbane Planetarium show which set cosmic footage and that kind of thing to the Pink Floyd soundtrack and it was very relaxing and fun and I love space so it’s a good association too. All told, I don’t know that I actually love their music all that much, I think I have to be in the right mood for it to really hit, but some of these songs are really timeless and like I said they have a lot of meaning to me personally. Sorry for rambling!

It’s very self indulgent at times, but it’s prog so what do you expect? At least that self indulgence is counterbalanced by good tunes and musicianship beyond mere displays of technical prowess. It’s a classic for a reason, really.

I enjoyed this one. Familiar with wish you were hear, but never listened to full album. Great start!

esta bueno

For a forty-odd minute album with only five tracks, this fair flies by! Favourite track: Wish You Were Here

Good 👍

It was good and it felt self-contained and important. But, I think to me it has somewhat low replay value

Really great. I do like most Pink Floyd.

What a unique listening experience , feels classic and futuristic at the same time. I’d like to listen again.

Need to listen to again

This is the kind of album you put on when you need noise to drown out other distractions while you concentrate on something more important. But, like at a low enough volume so it doesn't overwhelm the senses and distracting you enough to accidentally put down an expensive piece of electronics directly into a cheap glass of whiskey. Why was that so specific? No reason... Anyway, the music is pretty good. Record is maximum Floyd.

I've never been much of a Pink Floyd fan, but I think I like this album. I can't say why.

Es una obra increible. Como el disco va progresando y cambiando en sus 5 canciones es muy bueno. La presencia de la guitarra me encanto como quedo y la variedad de instrumentos presentes. Muy buen disco conceptual.

My rating is almost entirely based on the title track, which is one of the very best songs ever written.

This album's kinda like an Oreo... the top and bottom are alright, but it's really that creamy center everybody wants... That said, I don't think I'd like chomping down on just a wad of cream filling without the cookies; so, for atmospheric completeness, I guess the 26-minute, 9-piece intro-outro serves its purpose in the recipe. 4 stars as is; 5 stars with the sax replaced by a glass of ice-cold milk.

A lovely, well composed album. I wonder if I wasn't in the totally right headspace for it, I don't know if I got the same thing out of it that others have. I could feel the themes of wanting more and alienation coming through the lyrics, and the music is very well done. But still, it did not hit with me the way I maybe expected it to. Still great.

I don't know how to write reviews, it's a note anyway... The album is wonderful, the mixing, the electronic instruments, especially the guitar! The voice is beautiful and the idea is simply divine, especially the creation of the album and who it is named after, and especially the song of the same name in it. And that sound at the beginning of shine like a crazy diamond, that electronic noise... Beauty... But, I can't give a score higher than 4.5... I just can't imagine listening to him on a daily basis. I admit it's one of the greatest albums of all time, but the music from there just isn't mine... Although, I'll add wish you were here to myself))) I really liked her.

A very pleasant listen, a lot of instrumental madness. Will most likely have to return to this album to listen to it again and try to discover more of it.

Finally a Pink Floyd album I actually enjoyed! Previous entries were "The Wall" and "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn". This album is really interesting, there's some fantastic instrumentals, the music is deeply layered but the synth effects aren't overdone. Pretty much all of this album is profoundly sad. Not being a Pink Floyd fan, I wasn't aware of the backstory of this album prior to listening, but it came across fantastically throughout. Probably the most impactful aspect is the fact that the vocals are pretty sparse. In particular, the first half of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", there were moments where it felt like the mournful guitar was a vocalist, and it was a great listen. Not sure how much I'll go back to this, and there were definitely weaker tracks (personally I preferred the book-ends rather than the books), but this deserves a decent rating. Not quite going to scrape a 5, but respectable 4.

So good, haven’t listened to that album through in a long time

4 out of 5. While never being the biggest Pink Floyd fan this album is my favorite of theirs.

та ти шо, нарешті випало

Still good!

wish you were here album by pink floyd was beautiful in my opinion another old gen banger at first i thought it was just going to be music no singing at all but there was singing although it was really little singing i still really enjoyed this as the music showed feelings and emotions it was really calming listening to these five pieces the only downside for me is it is too long like 13 mins 12 mins 7 mins is little too long me even 5 is bit long but the music is more improtant overall rating 4/5 only reason its not higher is the pieces are too long for my likingv

Pink Floyd Wish you were here: Very brilliantly produced, consistent all over and never one boring moment Shine on you crazy diamond(Pt1-5): 5 Incredible production, talking about Syd Barrett an old member, and how losing him a tragedy, very emotional flows into the next song Welcome to the machine: 4.6 Mechanical sounding on purpose, song is about how music industry controls artists and critiques it. Very trippy Have a cigar: 4.25 Funky riff, critiquing music execs again, saying how they don't understand the band Wish you were here: 4.4 Emotional, brilliant I just don't enjoy acoustic guitar songs as much as prog rock. Shine on you crazy diamond pts 6-9: 4.7. A continuation of the first track, a farewell. Avg 4.59/5 barely missing a 5/5 == 4.5/5 Since on this app, there are no .5 increments I have to score a 4/5 which doesn't reflect my rating accurately.

This is the first Pink Floyd album that I have ever completely listened to and it comes with a weight of expectation. How does one of the most iconic albums from one rock's biggest bands compare to some of the other fodder on the list? Pretty favourably really. It's a lot more electronic than I expected, making it sound a lot more current than it's 50 years. Favourite tracks were the title track and the sprawling Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Sure, it's indulgent and not all of it works - not sure about the squealing guitars - but this isn't ever just going to be background music and every element of each part has been carefully constructed. Not quite as keen on the record company put downs in the musical sense although lyrically they are spot on. An interesting first exposure, and i look forward to hearing more. 4 stars.

Bit too self-involved, obviously, but musically fascinating and invigorating.

Designed to be listened to as an album, really well crafted soundscapes and a nice call-back to Wish You Were Here at the end. Not one you can particularly bang on for a quick listen but I'd say its worth the time investment.

Not that familiar with this album but thought it was really good

Very well orchestrated. Didn't change my life, but quite good.

Have not really listened to much Pink Floyd as had previously dismissed as wanky toss when i was in my punk phase and never really revisited this opinion. Roll forward 30 years or so and its much more up street and very much enjoyed large parts of the album - unfortunately there are some wanky bits like the sax solo - but still happy to give it a solid 4.

A big and heavy slow-burn album, solid and immersive for as long as it lasts, maybe not as much a fresh revolution as Dark Side of the Moon, but it's got a lot to offer

Pink Floyd is always a nice treats. Is this album a little overhyped? Maybe, but it’s still nicely done. The intro song is quite long, so is the closing song. Favorite song: Wish You Were Here

Their ninth album. Prog / Psychedelic Rock. For me this is a case of two things being true. On the one hand this is a masterful and seminal album. On the other it is also a self indulgent wankfest. These guys would sit in a studio enjoying the smell of their farts. Seminal Fart Rock !

Nice album, classic pink floyd

I understand the genius of this album, even though it doesn't resonate with me as much. Wish You Were Here might be one of the greatest songs ever recorded though. 4.5/5

78.4/100

YAYYY JOJO REFERENCE!!! I don't think I've ever actually listened to Pink Floyd before, but I really liked their sound. It was not what I was expecting, but definetely in a good way, I can't wait to check out some more of their music.

An old friend...

This was another good album, after I was expecting more of the same from Pink Floyd really (if you take out the fucking awful Piper At The Gates of Dawn album). The opening take/version of Shine On was really good, the closing one was not so good. The other 3 tracks were also pretty good. The best Pink Floyd album I'd had on this list.

Not bad, 7/10

Ridiculously overhyped but still good.

gran album

ça fait réfléchir...

Great album the songs alone aren't as good as together and sometimes it can be a bit monotone but very chill.

This one is an all-time classic. This is an album that deserves to be listened to without distraction, which makes this a more challenging album than Dark Side of the Moon. Ultimately, those who listen well will experience a well designed storyline of isolation, desperation, and hope.

The infamous Pink Floyd, where a 17 minute track would be considered short. Really enjoyable. I love prog rock, and that 70s synth sound is one of my favorites. Very whimsical sounding.

super good stuff, basically shine on you crazy diamond the album, kinda gimmicky transitions between tracks didn't really like it

I was introduced to this album after I hear Radiohead feat. Sparklehorse's cover of "Wish you were here" in university. I can understand why it's a classic, but in all honesty (and with some regret), I do prefer the cover version...

Really good stuff. Heard the title track before. The last song was meh. Short album too. But the first three songs are great.

I knew it

En 5'er, hvis der havde været lidt mindre psykedelisk jam.

I love the title track. It's up there with my favourite songs. The rest was good but not quite at the same level.

Tällä levyllä on legendaarisia PF biisejä. Hyvä levy. Kuuntelin Deluxe version bonus-biiseillä.

funky and good vibes

Really love this album. Only reason I don’t give it a 5 is due to how long some of the intros and outros are in the songs. I don’t need a full minute of random noises. But still love Pink Floyd overall.

Love the psychedelic style of pink Floyd. Very recognizable, yet soothing. Love some psychedelic rock

So yeah, the music is exceptional. It is epic and grand, amazingly mixed, and all that comes with a great record. But 26 of the 43 minutes is 2 of 5 songs. There are really only 3 approachable songs on the entire thing, and of course those are awesome. Minute for minute it's incredible, but song for song it doesn't offer a whole lot that I'm interested in revisiting. Still real good though. 3.8/5

mixing is insane!! everything is kind of just washing over me rn. This would be really good high i think.

Nice instrumentals, very long songs but great calm vibe.

Classic great album

This is one that makes me want quarter or half stars. Great album but I don't really want to give it a 5. "Have a Cigar" and "Wish You Were Here" are excellent. The rest of the album is a great listen, but it isn't something that blows me away or anything. The latter parts of "Shine On" are particularly good, but probably not quite enough to warrant a 5 in this rating system.

The best pink Floyd album.

A proper album rather than some songs recorded at the same time.

Big fan of this, some seriously good music. Don’t think I have ever listened to the full album back to front in one sitting

it was like an eternal sunshine

My first ever listen of a Pink Floyd album. This made me eager to further dive into their discography. This album is moody and cinematic, perfect for the current cold weather. Loved!

Enjoyable listen. The album feels very short, but makes the most of its time. Shine on your Crazy diamond was a musical highlight, as it builds to the iconic chorus. My favorite track was the title track, great vocals and instrumentation. looking forward to more from pink floyd

Not as gripping as the first album I listened to, but still enjoyable

I had this album growing up, so a proper trip down memory lane for me. Am I voting for nostalgia? Yes. Is it a great album? Also yes.

Familiar with on song in total. Lot of parts I had never listened too before. Good guitar sections.

Liked this more than Dark Side of the Moon

Wish You Were Here is an album i liked quite a lot. The most i really knew of this album prior to listening to it was the cover photo, more accurately, the Barbenheimer edit but i can say that this album is very good. The main star of the show for this album was the music as the vocals were not particularly special but the music sure was. The guitars here were very pleasing, as were the electronic sounds and there was that one cool saxophone solo in Shine On You Crazy Diamonds (Pts. 1-5). I was pretty split on whether to give this album a 3 or a 4 but after some thinking i decided to give it a 4 since its clearly a labor of love and i can really respect that. Best Song: Welcome to the Machine Worst Song: Have a Cigar

8.8

i rlly need to be high

The 4th Best Pink Floyd album, It's very good its very enjoyable. It's also a bit boring at times. Wish you were here, is one of the all time songs tbf.

I wanted to like this a lot more than I did but it almost felt as if they weren't really trying in spite of how good what was there ended up being? I dunno, I came away wanting more so I definitely can't give this full marks.

one of my major blindspots. Only knew the title track. That's still the standout as far as I'm concerned but what a well fleshed out, expansive and far reaching album. I think the import of it will hit me on further listening but honestly spent most of this wanting to relisten to The Specials lol

amo este album con todo mi ser por la nostalgia, creo que fue el primero que escuché con MUCHA atención y de las primeras canciones que intenté aprenderme en guitarra (wish you were here suena fácil pero está cabrón) tqm pink floyd

Love love love 💗 magnificent !

Iconic

I really like how long all the songs are. My favourite is the title track.

Очень красиво, слушать 100% в наушниках нужно "Wish You Were Here" - даже пошли мурашки)

I thought this was a really great album, my favorite song by far was Wish You Were Here.

Har länge tänkt att förr eller senare kommer jag börja gilla Pink Floyd. Vid 53år har det inte riktigt hänt än. Det kanske händer nu, för det här gillar jag. Förvånansvärt experimentellt med väldigt många synthar- ett sound som förebådar 80-talets postpunk och synth. Spännande och bra låtar! Nackdelen är ju längden på låtarna och att det är bara fem, lite väl 70-tals svulstigt. Men för första gången- kan jag nog förbise det.

p350. 1975. 4 stars. Strays into 70s prog-rock wankage a little too often for 5 stars, but otherwise it's brilliant.

- Kan godt lide den måde sangene hænger sammen på, gør det til et godt album - Det eksperimenterende ved sangene og opbygningen af albummet er fedt, kan bedst lide det instrumentale i dem - En af mine yndlingsperioder i musikhistorie, så sangene (og Pink Floyd generelt) har nogle af de traits jeg rigtig godt kan lide (det rockede ved sangene) - Wish You Were Here er en af mine yndlingssange med PF, vil til at høre Shine On You Crazy Diamond mere, kan bedst lide sidste halvdel (afslutningen på albummet)

Synthy me likey

Strong prog rock (no duh). Interesting commentary, kinda Matrix-esque. Very fun, actively want to listen to this again. Too much instrumental and songs are too long for 5 stars - 5 songs, 45 minutes. No thanks. Better be the best thing I've ever heard if you're gonna do that - Strong intro, has me curious. On brand for Pink Floyd - Cinematic. Vibing - Shoulda just chopped the songs in their natural places but we're pushing through - big 'what if a rock band played like a symphony orchestra' vibes. Dunno if we'll get any lyrics in this album - Most of the way through the first song. Still vibing - Singing!! Queen-y, don't think that's a good thing here - Lyrics are strong. Still holding water - 2nd song switches it up. Similar cinematic intro. Weaker but still decent. Strong lyrics, a bit dystopian cyber-punk for my liking - Loving the lyrics, mid on the music at times. Shaping up to a reliable 4 star album. I like the concept.

heard most of it already

Such a familiar album, from my schooldays. Rich, complex sound, original and unpredictable back then. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this today.

It's a great album, i don't think the Shine closer is needed though, the intro is brilliant, leave it like that.

Très bon album

Schade schon vorbei

I always wished I listened to more Pink Floyd when I was younger. My guitar teacher exposed me to just enough to whet my appetite, but CD prices kept me from digging very far into the catalog. Even still, I’ve spent more hours trying to emulate David Gilmour on guitar than I have any other famous guitar hero, and it’s not even close. In isolation, his guitar is basically just straight blues, at a speed that feels soulful and thoughtful. Most of the psychedelia on this record comes from the synth and keyboards, which don’t seem like the things Floyd is known for. That’s kinda fun. Animals will always have a special place in my heart, but it’s possible this is my second favorite Floyd record.

My dad's fave band before he became a christian nationalist, slay. (He thinks they're of the devil now) I've never really heard them in full before. 1. 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond" - Fucking amazing guitars, wow. The sax is sick. Overall I really like this, but don't love. really cool 2. "Welcome to the Machine" - Woah, this sounds really eerie, I love it. Oooh, the guitars (maybe synths and I'm dumb) coming in then oscillating was super cool. I really really liked this one! 3. "Have a Cigar" - smoking is bad for you >:( Wait, why is this reminding me of the Eagles lol. This one's cool, I like. 4. Wish You Were Here - Oh this is really pretty and cool. I really really like! 5. "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" - This one didn't hit me the same way the first parts did, but still good I'm actually pleasantly surprised by this. I kinda expected to be more "meh" on this, but it was actually really good. I don't think it's one i'd go back to crazy often, but every now and then it could be a fun musical journey. Slay. too bad my dad went his own type of crazy and I can't be like "hey dad, look what I listened to!" please don't put religion over your kids folks lol. 4.5/5

Sick

Shine on you crazy diamond!

I get why people get high and listen to this stuff now.

Classic

Excellent album. maybe even a 5

Amazingly, I'd never listened to this all the way through. It's a trip - definitely feels like going to another world, and it's the prototype for so many things that have come after it.

Favorite Track: Wish You Were Here One of the greatest album covers ever. Great sonic exploration. Love how sparse and melancholy it can be at times. Rock isn’t dead, but a guy who will tell you it is may be right about this album.

8.5

Made me feel cool

Pink Floyd. Considered great by many. It's a band I really like when I'm in the mood for it, and will skip over if I am not. Wasn't feeling it today, which is okay since I know it well. So for me it cannot be a 5 even though it has 5 days, because it also has 2-3 days for me. so 4 it is. I'd own it, I will listen to it again.

quite experimental. i like it

A lot less lyrics then I would’ve liked but nonetheless I really enjoyed it. I forgot what it was like to have songs longer than 2 or 3 minutes

* Notes: Consisting of only 5 songs and being 44 minutes long is insane. This is PEAK stoner music, but also something you could throw on in the background and just zone out to * Overall: A very chill album; showcases the psychedelic sound Pink Floyd is known for; Peak stoner album

Very interesting, sounds great

Always avoided this band. Listening to the whole album actually made me re-evaluate that position. I understand this project a lot better now.

C'est toujours excellent du Pink Floyd

Pretty great chill album. 4 stars for me. Sort of reminds me of 2112 how it’s good to turn on in the dark vibing

Decent album, not quite my speed but had some good vibes

Good album

pretty good, can see how this would start the psych pop evolution

It's very good but probably my 4th favorite by them

31/12/25 Wish you were here, Pink Floyd, 12/09/1975 genere: rock progressivo, art rock, rock sperimentale storia: Wish You Were Here, pubblicato nel 1975, nasce in un momento delicato per i Pink Floyd. Dopo l’enorme successo di The Dark Side of the Moon, la band si ritrova sotto pressione, disillusa dal successo e sempre più critica verso l’industria musicale. Questo stato d’animo permea tutto l’album, che riflette su temi come l’assenza, l’alienazione e la perdita di autenticità. Il cuore emotivo del disco è l’omaggio a Syd Barrett, fondatore del gruppo, allontanatosi a causa di gravi problemi mentali. La suite Shine On You Crazy Diamond è dedicata a lui e rappresenta il rimpianto per un amico e un talento perduto. Durante le registrazioni, Barrett si presentò in studio in condizioni tali che i membri della band faticarono a riconoscerlo, rendendo il tributo ancora più doloroso e reale. Accanto a questo lato intimo, l’album critica duramente il mondo della musica e del business, in brani come Welcome to the Machine e Have a Cigar, che descrivono un sistema freddo e disumanizzante. La title track Wish You Were Here sintetizza tutto: il desiderio di connessione, di verità e di qualcosa che ormai sembra irraggiungibile. Anche la celebre copertina, con due uomini d’affari che si stringono la mano mentre uno va a fuoco, simboleggia rapporti falsi e opportunismo. Con il tempo, Wish You Were Here è diventato uno degli album più amati della storia del rock, proprio per la sua capacità di unire critica sociale e profonda emotività. considerazioni: Già conoscevo l’album, principalmente per shine on you crazy diamond pts 1-5 e wish you were here. Le basi strumentali sono la cosa che ho apprezzato di più dell’album insieme al significato dei testi. Una canzone che sono contenta di aver scoperto con questo album e “Have a cigar”; l’assolo di chitarra altrettanto fantastico proprio come il significato della canzone. Credo sia molto attuale se ci si ferma riflettere; la musica continua ad essere un business e non più musica. Mi ha fatto piacere iniziare con questo album dato che i Pink Floyd sono la band preferita di papà. Frasi preferite: “We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl year after year” (Wish you were here); “Oh by the way which one is Pink?” (Have a cigar) Voto complessivo: 9-/10 l’unica pecca che forse non lo è più di tanto è che le canzoni siano poche ma penso che questa scelta sia coerente con i temi trattati all’interno

I do like Pink Floyd but am not a really massive fan aside from Dark Side of The Moon, but I really enjoyed this from start to finish. Loved the opening track 'Shine On You Crazy Diamonds (pts 1-5)'. That had me hooked.

Lovely tribute + anger at industry.

So much depth. I do sometimes wish there were no lyrics. It was just all one ambient piece. I also thought I would find it tough to listen to one song for over 12 mins but because of the amount that’s going on I didn’t even realise.

In just my last review I was shitting on Jeff Beck and his guitar wank. This is guitar wank done right.

Shine on you crazy diamond- abnormally long but extremely powerful Welcome to the machine- makes me feel like I'm transcending Have a cigar- groovy, upbeat and generally fun, gorgeous ending Wish you were here- pure and beautiful, I love the tone of the guitar

Obviously great album. All time classic.

Already knew most of these songs, so I liked it. Pink Floyd is definitely a vibe I have to be looking for, but when it hits it hits.

not my usual type music but I get why it’s so popular - some moments weren’t super me but I liked it!

Really pleasant listen, complex instrumentals. Not my favorite Pink Floyd.

That is some sweet album art. There's a lot going on in this record. It feels like it's traversing through different rock genres, all while making every track connected to the next. Favourite Track(s): Have a Cigar, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (All Parts) Least Favourite Track(s): Welcome to the Machine

Before listening: I am familiar with Pink Floyd but do not usually gravitate towards them ever but that's not to say they are bad or anything. The album name is familiar but this cover art is not. I think the cover art is striking and not something i would associate with a band or even music it feels very high art. The framing of the burnt photograph with the subject also burning doing a deal with himself, there's a lot to be said about this artwork. I assume the association with the album will translate to self sabotaging in some capacity along with corporate America and performance of self. Listening: Very Blade Runner start, sadness of place in space. Ethereal. Fever dream energy, will there be singing? almost 9 min i see. Unfortunately the singing does not fit the vibe i was having a second ago. The saxophone is great. We in an industrial building going to work, the world building is cool. Dark energy, i might be darker if i were reading the lyrics but i am not. There is a lot to unpack with this one, very experimental. There is a complexity that requires more focus than I'm giving it. I always enjoy ambient sounds to create a full picture of a setting at the start or end of a song and its done well here. There is a lot of story telling happening, its going over my head a little but the feeling is persisting. Wish you were here was the most digestible, very radio ready in a good way. It feels like being put to bed for the last time, in a child like sense and an end of life sense. After listening: Very somber, profound. Not at all exciting like i thought Pink Floyd was but i also know my limited understanding of Pink Floyd is just wrong. I enjoyed this more in an art gallery type of way not on the way to work kind of way. I feel heavy. 8/10

Classic

Saxophone in the last 2 mins of shine on you crazy diamond 1-5, no notes The synth throughout!!!!

Shine on you crazy diamon - I love how they can make guitar speak. Vocals are soft but theatrical. Welcome to the machine - Industial sounds go well with acustic guitar in this song but I don't really like vocals here. Wish you were here - My favourite track on this album. It feels like watching sunset from the porch of cabin, summer evening with your closest friends and/or bitter sweetending. Have a cigar isn't much outstanding for me 'cause of vocals which i don't really like here. Overall really good and iconic album. I liked it even though I wouldn't have listened to it if it hadn't been recommended to me. Itstrumentals were perfect but I'm not a big fan of vocals in all of these songs. But i can feel that Wish you were here will stich with me for a long time.

A great band, a great album, and just a fun listen. The guitar licks are groovy and this is the kind of album you could bump over and over again

enjoyable as hell

to quote my brother, "wait, this is one song?"

4,5/5 - timeless classic. amazing artwork, could stare at it for hours.

4/5

Fine - I understand why people love this band.

Good vibes! I would play this in the background while doing something I really enjoy.

This is a good one from start to finish. Enjoyed it.

Haven't listened to this one in years. I bet it holds up? So musically - the opening track has a 9 minute guitar solo to start, and then the song begins. That's a little much for me. But honestly - it mostly works! David Gilmour's playing is so expressive and lyrical. I don't even mind. And that riff that comes in at 4 minutes is excellent. The second round of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a little less impressive to me, but it's pretty fun overall. The three "real" songs in the middle are all excellent musically. My main issue with this album is the theming. Wish You Were Here seems to be about Syd Barrett and the many pitfalls of the music industry. An industry I am not defending! But I'm sorry - am I supposed to empathize with a rock band that rose to stardom at a time when rock bands had a huge amount of creative control over their work, could make tons of cash from recording as well as touring, and were often seen as gods on Earth? "But I didn't like school!!!" Oh cry me a river, Roger. "THEY WANTED ME TO GET A JOBBBBB" Jesus. Get a grip. FOUR STARS

I enjoyed this album. Very cohesive and reflective.

Outstanding tbh. Best prog rock I’ve heard. Crazy Diamond man fuck yes life is good.

Good smooth rock album with clean vocals and instruments. While short I really like it. Not much else to add when its a old school rock album. A genre I listen to and have listened to a lot.

Quelques passages iconiques mais je suis pas le plus grand fan de pink Floyd, c'est un peu trop lent à mon goût. Ça reste très bon 4/5

ok like i hear the music, and I think its good. I like what im hearing... and this album is basically a Roger Waters album so i like it even more... but then i just have never understood the ppl who think floyd is the best band ever... like theyre good!!!! but idk

Great driving music

Wish you were here is one of the all time tracks. Shine on you crazy diamond are also stellar. The album loses me a little through the middle with welcome to the machine, and have a cigar. I think it’s probably part of a broader concept. I don’t dislike those tracks, they just pale in significance. It may be a reflection of my attention span, or perhaps my generation more broadly, but there is a lot of ambient noodling on instruments that I find a little tedious. All in all, it’s a stark contrast to my day one Duck Rock. 4/5

Wow the electronic instrumentals sounds very dreamy and futuristic. very good background music though

great

5 songs all really long, wish you were here carries

The thing about Pink Floyd is they take a lil while to start singing

lovely!!!!! i love a long song

Truly great album - proper ethereal!

Riff of first track goes hard. And the “how I wish you were here” line

Levyn alku oli vähän liian rauhallista vaikka kivoja kitara fiilistelyä mutta loppu olikin yhtä ilotulitusta loppuun saakka. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ei ole tämä bändi ikinä uponnut niin paljon kuin sen ehkä pitäisi. Kova levy kuitenkin.

I'm not a big Pink Floyd fan, I've found a lot of their albums pretty hard to get into or a bit boring. I think I like this one a bit more than most I've heard. It has a bit of a different style to it that I prefer Standouts Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts. I-V) 4/5

Classic album. Long moody tracks and a little bit self-indulgent, but enough great moments for core and more general fans.

Hadn't listen to this album in its entirety before. Started slow and wasn't sure when it was gonna kick in. Gotta have been wild as a teenager in the 70s getting to the record store and queuing this up. Would've blown a lot of minds.

Fond memories of getting high as shit with Tyler and listening to this on Isaac's couch. Not the world's biggest Pink Floyd guy but this is definitely my favorite. Plus one for the nostalgia piece.

Me gusta mucho. Creo que empiezo a entender esta gente. Se parecen mas al jarre o a vangelis que a otras cosas

this album feels like unc popped a tab around the campfire and started telling you about the good ol days

Who knew songs could be over ten minutes and good! Very interesting perspective that this record really only has five songs, but is still one of Pink Floyd’s defining works. It’s just not my personal favorite of theirs. Best Track: Wish You Were Here

Classic. Love all the soaring moments, but the end just seemed to be phoned in.

this one is a classic

Great performances and atmosphere. Felt a little samey to other Floyd stuff I've heard in the part though

Pretty cool, but not as good as Dark Side of the Moon. Liked the instrumental sections and the electronic aspects. Favorite Track: Wish You Were Here

Really liked this — started off poorly because I wasn’t open-minded wrt the intro but picked up throughout the project

Great!!

A solid, but overrated Pink Floyd album

not everything on this album is perfect for me But Wish you were here now is great

Wow. I never really sat down and listened to Pink Floyd. This was quite a journey. The tracks are long but don’t feel like they drag on. The production is perfect and every note feels immaculately placed (even the sexy sax solo!). I’m looking forward to hearing more from them.

The third best Pink Floyd album.

Firstly, I’ve never liked “Welcome to the Machine”, which, given its length and the fact that it’s one of only five songs, is a lot to overcome. Secondly, although I like everything else, I differ from the mindset that others have shared so far: for me, it’s absolutely no contest between this and Dark Side, which is as five-star an album as five stars can be in my book. Pink Floyd isn’t even one of my absolute favorite artists (they probably wouldn’t crack my top 50, at least), but Dark Side has always sounded like sheer perfection to me, whereas WYWH has always “merely” been an album I really like. I think “Have a Cigar” is cool as hell, SoYCD is a hell of a composition (I particularly love parts 1-5), and though I may have suffered from burnout in the title track at one point in my life, I’ve come back around to having no issues with it (and thinking it’s a gorgeous, flawless song). As always for Floyd, the performances are nothing short of stellar, and if someone were to argue that it was the emotional apex of their catalog, I wouldn’t disagree at all (if anyone is somehow still unaware of the story surrounding this record, it’s well worth your time to read up on it). It’s just not my preferred album of theirs, or in general. Undoubtedly a 5-star achievement that, in this horrific game of applying a stupid fucking number to assess personal enjoyment, is a high 4 stars for me. 4/5

Wishy washy arena rock silliness, but I like it

Classic album for me.

Probably the only Pink Floyd album you don't need chemical enhancement to appreciate. Wrapping "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" around the album hits is an interesting move. The middle of the album is foundational to every classic rock radio station in the world. My Rating: 4/5

I've been wanting to listen to this album. It is not as good as dark side of the moon, but it was good in giving that classic Pink Floyd aesthetic of vocal free music. It is much shorter than I was expecting. If I came across a used version of this, I would probably get the vinyl. I gave it a second listen, and it is an amazing rock background music, and when the vocals finally come in for "shine on you crazy diamond," very soul lifting

Molt bo...i molt tranqui...7'5.

This was great - I get the hype and the songs were fantastic, journeys into themselves as well as contributing to the whole album journey.

7/10

Jewel!

I listened to this album too many times as a teenager... I still acknowledge its merit but I can't think of it anymore as music for grown-ups. In particular, they take themeselves so fucking seriously: not a glimpse of irony or detachment here. Especially in your lyrics, Roger. It's still somewhat touching how you talk about Syd but, hey man, let's not forget you kicked him out of the band!

Very good.

Good album, familiar with lost songs

I feel like this list has made me truly understand the appeal to Pink Floyd. As I seen (or rather heard) on Dark Side of the Moon, Floyd is about the whole journey, rather than the singles. The way they mix the ethereal, the darkness in a beautiful manner is exceptional. I love the way everything flows together and how they blend synths and sound effects to make all the songs pop. I can’t say this gave me the same impact that Dark Side had, so I don’t exactly think it’s the band’s best album. But it’s still a great album, especially given the context of it as a tribute to Syd Barrett. Favorite track: Wish You Were Here Other hits: Welcome to the Machine, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all the parts)

Great album. Goosebumps included ——————————— Liked: — Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-5); — Have a Cigar; — Wish You Were Here; — Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 6-9)

I know it's not cool to like this, but it kind of slaps in an old white dude kind of way

I'd put this on after DSOTM to keep the good vibes going, but they just don't keep going in the way I would want.

The rumors are true: it's amazing

very self-indulgent, very good.

Reminds me of mum. Oh How I Wish You Were Here.

Liked this, but it’s not 5 stars. There’s not enough there and some of the tracks are poor in comparison to others.

Classic for a reason

Enjoyable. It is good Floyd. It’s a 3-4 but I think shine on tips the scales in its favour such a good track

good, some bangers

Out of all the Pink Floyd albums I’ve gotten (this is my 4th), I think this is my favorite. The actual music on this album is just downright fantastic. The only thing that drops this from being a 5 is the vocals. Every time someone started singing, I kept wishing they’d shut up so I could go back to listening to just the music.

väldigt bra hela vägen igenom, hade lite svårt för några val gällande ljuddesign och sången gjorde stundtals inte resten av elementen rättvisa, men det är relativt små saker.

oh pink floyd thank you for the album

Pink Floyd has always been interesting to me in the sense that, when speaking with their fans, you always get a different opinion on their favorite album: DSOTM, Animals, Syd Barrett solo work. Their body of work and the way that (mostly) Roger Watters mined himself for material is so impressive. Love this album.

I'm not the biggest fan of prog concept albums. In general, I find them pretentious and self-indulgent. This is an exception to that rule. It's still a bit overwrought but it is still beautiful and highly listenable.

Nostalgic

Pink Floyd is made for this 1001 albums list - they are a concept album band, though some of the singular songs stand out, like "Wish You Were Here". I'm partial to the sleaziness and rollicking guitars, as well as the portrayal of greedy corporate sellouts in "Have a Cigar"

This is one of the best sandwiches ever

In my opinion the best record that Pink Floyd put out. Solid from start to finish. The title track is one of the great rock songs. No complaints.

Two great prog rock albums back to back! Slightly edges out Can but can't quite smash that MF 5 star. Have a Cigar is my favorite, the intro to Welcome to the Machine is incredibly eery.

Only 5 tracks all good.

Classic album about there lost leader syd

That was a really nice experience

Almost gets to the heights of earlier stuff. Still a great musical statement with instruments and lyrics exploring the pain of synthetic life out of our control. I will never not get excited when a Floyd album pops up here. These are ALBUMS in the truest sense. They are always able to deeply explore themes of human life in interesting and profound ways.

Great...thoughtful soundscapes

What a start - madness, could have gone anywhere - ended up in a great place Don't know as much about pink floyd as I probably should and this was a lovely surprise

Pretty nice tbh

77/1089 I really enjoyed listening to this album, the 40mins flew by, probably because it’s only 5 tracks and 2 of them take up over half of the run time but it was a very cool listen and i’ll definitely be coming back to it I have a growing fondness for prog as a style of music and love when songs are given the space to grow and evolve, so this was very much in my interests, i look forward to getting more Pink Floyd from this generator faves: Wish You Were Here, Welcome To The Machine 4 stars

cinema

If 'Animals' is 5 stars, this is 4.5.

I guess I haven’t listened to a lot of Pink Floyd but I like this. Very long songs and sounded a bit like some Dire Straits
