Wish You Were Here

the same old fears...

I was surprised that I knew every song on this album, also surprised they were only four.

Very solid album, and tighter than "The Wall."

Great

Better than I remember this being.

Really enjoyable album and another classic from the Floyd lineup

its a good album but im never listening to a 15 minute song outside an album 4/5

Good stuff. Simpsons: Yes

Wish You Were Here is a great tune. Rest of the album was pretty good.

I was firmly anti-prog rock for most of my life. I remember being bothered by Pavement mentioning Geddy Lee in “Stereo” and wondering why musicians all seemed to like that stupid hair metal band. But after reading “Ready Player One” I decided to give Rush a chance and they were my gateway drug into all things prog. And now I am a huge fan of the genre. Yes, ELP, Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson. I have fully embraced prog and am happier for having done so. My wife and daughters having to be around me when I listen to it, not so much. Is Pink Floyd the best prog rock band of all time? Can they even be properly labeled as prog? I think so, but if someone differed I would respect that opinion. But I think “Wish You Were Here” and “Dark Side of the Moon” were two of the greatest prog rock albums ever made. If you are in the mood for this type of music, this would be one of your go-to albums to put on. If a pop or rock song goes on over four minutes, I start to get antsy, but a 13 minute prog song never wears out its welcome. I kind of wish that they hadn’t split up “Shine On” and just left it as one song. I love it when a whole side of an album is just one song. But that is just a quibble. This album is proggy enough for the weirdos but poppy enough for the normies. It is a masterpiece.

Which one’s pink. Ha 4.5

Giving it a 4 because it's the soundtrack of Jojo Part 4

Dirses Album hat zwei meiner Lieblingssongs von Pink Floyd, welche sehr zeitlos sind!

Sad and beautiful.

Shine on you crazy diamond is a great song, but I don't find myself caring about the 3 songs that interrupt it as much. Pink Floyd has made better albums.

bits of annoying but still solid. could i write poetry to this? n

It would be a shorter list to name the non-essential Pink Floyd albums. "Wish You Were Here" gets four stars only because it's not "Dark Side of the Moon" or "The Wall."

Shine On could be trimmed. Welcome to the Machine kind of irritates me. But overall, I love this album!

I missed this day somehow.

So good

Theatrical, fun harmonies!

Doesn’t reach the highs of Dark Side of the Moon or the best of The Wall. But I still vibe with a lot of it. 4/5

For a 5 song album, this really checks a lot of boxes in terms of innovation and creating imagery not only with the lyrics but with the instrumentation as well.

Intro/outro are a little much, but the main three tracks are all absolute epic.

Good, still makes me want to sleep.

good but not my favorite

The power of the acoustic guitar

Incredibly cohesive Pink Floyd demonstration. I remain a huge Floyd fan, favoring the late 60s and early 70s albums. Pre Dark Side of the moon. I'd like to call this their magnum opus, but The Wall remains that with mixed fanfare. Thus I refrain and call it the most cohesive work, one song with 12 parts that doesn't even feel broken up by the time it fades in from the second to last track. Anthemic guitar solos, experimental time signatures and the grooves coming from heavy drum and bass cohesion propel this album to the stratosphere. Last note, the hilarious introspection and satirical inclusion of Have a Cigar on a major record label release shortly after the Wall is my favorite piece of Floyd charisma ever.

- really really good - they have a way of creating emotion in their music - Wish You Were Here is a beautifully nostalgic song

Un altro ottimo album, bravi Pink Floyd.

Yes. This is an album. The sounds here are both all over the place and clearly centralized. You can clearly hear a theme that runs through the album. Great bookend songs.

Pink Floyd staat er vier keer in en we hebben al eerder bepaald dat drie vermeldingen op de lijst der lijsten het maximum zou moeten zijn. Voor mij is dit ook het derde album dat ik van ze mag/moet luisteren. Dat gezegd hebbende: Dit is wel 4 sterren. Luister deze gerust via een headset want de panning van de geluiden (bijvoorbeeld bij 'Welcome to the Machine') geeft zeker iets extra's. Niet de beste Pink Floyd, maar we krijgen regelmatig slechter voorgeschoteld hier.

I think I like pink Floyd's earlier albums more but this is an incredible album. Low 4.

One of my very favourites. There is one or two discordant tracks thus the 4

Liked this a lot! The perfect soundtrack for while I was working out.

Some really great guitar on here - lyrics and vocals are a bit of an after thought. The pretentious Roger Waters has yet to emerge. Real jam band sort of stuff, contemporary with the Dead and pre-Phish.

Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Shine on you crazy diamond, Welcome to the machine, Wish you were here

All of it was great except for "Welcome to the Machine". It's a nice album to listen to while I'm doing work. Additionally, the best song in this album would have to be "Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-5)".

The big 2 on here(wish and shine on) are some of the best songs ever, the rest are not that interesting

Cool man!!!

Pretty damn awesome from the first twang to the last chord but didn’t overly enjoy.

Better than The Wall, mainly because its a more appropriate length. Again, the musicianship is excellent, but it's still a bit highly strung. A low 4.

Last song was a banger. Loving the exposure to guitar from all these albums.

Pretty good time jamming out.

This was really good! It is very rare that I will listen to 25 minutes of the same song (split into two parts at the beginning and end of the album) and never get sick of it. I think conceptually, “The Wall” is definitely better than this album, but I liked the sound of this one better.

A really great album that I have heard before. I'm sure I will listen to it again, it's a classic.

Some parts of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” will have you looking at your watch but everything else is pure prog-rock bliss.

Classic

Very cool!

Some undeniably well written stuff but also moments of what sounded like someone wobbling keys aimlessly on their cool new synthesiser thinking they're the second coming of christ.

The opening of Shine On you Crazy Diamond , using wineglass rims, then those notes…. Epic….

very close to a 10/10

This being one of the highest rated albums on here, I really had high hopes for this. I’m honestly struggling between a 3 and a 4. The guitar playing is exceptional. A 5 song album is kinda whack Arnold’s though. The hits on here are so good though. I think my final ruling is a 3.505.

Never listened to this album all the way through, but enjoyed it.

good album - forgot to write down notes but i think i really liked it.

This is an interesting concept album by Pink Floyd. This progressive rock album is fluid, building up, ungulates and lives, and slowly releases. This is a great album that must be listened to whole in order to gain a fuller appreciation of the writing and musicianship.

Skipped. Cannot with this album. Maybe never again.

One of my big problems with Prog is that, while I find the bad stuff soulless and insipid, an attempt to impress rather than to create true art, I’m also not particularly impressed by the good stuff, finding that it never really rises above the level of pleasant sounding distraction. I’ve been assured by multiple people who like this genre that that is what they enjoy. Turning their brain off and just letting the music was over them. But that isn’t what floats my boat musically. I like hooks and emotion, rather than chops. Pink Floyd’s run between DSOTM and The Wall is probably the best of the classic Prog, and it’s firmly within my parameters for ‘good’ Prog. I can happily put any of the albums on and essentially just nap for 40-80 minutes. And of all of these nap albums, I probably like Wish You Were Here the most. It’s got the title track, which has the emotion that I find lacking in other Prog projects, and is otherwise a pleasant bit of music to listen to. It’s still nowhere close to my favourite music ever, but it’s passable. And for this overrated slog of a genre, passable is the best that it can hope for

Beautiful, hypnotic music. Great for studying or getting work done.

Fire, probably no skips, 4.5

Wish You Were Here is the ninth album by English rock band Pink Floyd. This progressive art rock album released to mixed reviews as some felt it was uninspired and inferior to the band's previous work, but it has since received praise as some of their finest work and one of the greatest albums of all time. It was the band's fastest selling album of all time and has been certified gold in Argentina, Greece, & Poland, and platinum or multi-platinum in Australia, Austria, Canada, France (10x aka diamond), Germany, Italy, New Zealand, the UK, & the US. Musically the band again uses synthesizers and acoustic guitars primarily in addition to other instruments occasionally, but intricate everyday sounds were sampled and added to the mix also. The vocals were great and complimented the music well. Most of the run time is taken up by "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," a nine part ballad paying tribute to founding band member Syd Barrett who left seven years earlier due to mental health reasons, but visited the studio during the production of this album. It's interesting history, how the concept of this album became wrapped around Syd, since he is a victim of how the music industry can turn people crazy and then extended absences are the only way they can cope with their sadness. Overall, Wish You Were Here is one of the best Pink Floyd's albums, and on the list of the greatest progressive rock albums. It's a stellar piece of simple, yet attractive music that is carried by its "soul". I highly recommend this album, although it may leave you wanting more.

Shine on you crazy diamon pt 1-5 i don’t remember being this bluesy AS FUCK The through like is but hazier than I remembered. It’s fantastic music but it doesn’t feel life changing? I don’t know how to explain it Maybe it’s cause I’ve listen to it before and it’s the first album that I’ve heard all the songs before Gonna give it the benefit of the doubt and go with 4 over 3

Enjoyed the album. 6/10

You know, the fact that this album only has 5 songs but lasts 45 minutes already makes me not want to listen to it. Okay so I liked that way more than I thought I would. 4/5

Pink Floyd is the perfect example of music as an art form. Besides being great music, this record carries so much weight, emotion, and darkness. It's artsy and a little bit self-indulgent, but never in a manner that's off putting. At the same time it also wears its heart on its sleeve, without ever being corny. Not as good as The Dark Side of the Moon, but very close. Standouts are Wish You Were Here and the entire 25-minute run of Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

A classic. A true album.

miren the wall amigos la primera ta bastante piola la segunda ta normal en general suena bien pero es medio lento pa mi gusto

Really good

Which One’s Pink? Good stuff…Part of the Canon.

The title track is memorable beyond its years (even now), but I really just wanted to skip ahead to parts VI–IX of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" while listening. I think Syd would too.

2024-02-27...

Four good songs that are mostly too long. This was my first time listening to the entire album since my first year in college, and time hasn't brought any new appreciation. The playing and production are great, just too much space-filling for me. Still, 4 stars for the production alone.

She shine on my diamond till I'm crazy

Solid.

The title track “Wish You Were Here” is a beautiful song that I added to my monthly playlist. The others were cool, but not necessarily re-listens for me.

Shine on you was a bop, wasnt expecting it to be 13 mins but didnt feel long

Love this band. Maybe not quite my favourite album - Dark side of the moon better!

As with all Pink Floyd albums this one too is an experience.

One of many incredible albums by Pink Floyd. What else is there to even say on this one that hasn't been said already.

Quite nice. Need to be in the right mood and really listen to it

A favorite

Good

Thought about a 5 but there are a few bits where it dragged ever so slightly. It's a high 4 though

A classic rock album and an interesting prog album. Packed with synth and a handful of jazz influenced interludes, the album builds a harsh look at the price of stardom in its tribute to the former front man, Syd Barrett. Pink Floyd had fully transformed by this point and we're well on their way to their chaotic falling apart. This album is effortless to listen to in the background and has likely cycled through the backdrop of burnt out bars for years. The title track plays this unique trick in sounding exactly like Pink Floyd but filled with emotion that the band has slowly become disassociated from over the course of its tenure.

Classic

Very good album that I nonetheless have issues with for reasons that have nothing to do with the quality of the songs.

Typically long songs and lack of vocals make it harder for me to get into a song. Though they do such a wonderful job creating an atmosphere I see why they are still so popular to this day.

Felt calming at times, easy to get work done or relax

very gentle , not entirely what i expected but something i wouldnt say no to listening to if asked. probably not something ill listen all the way through very often.

This is a very good album. Probably a 4.5/5 so will decide what to give it. But I've heard only 1 song by pink Floyd before and I enjoyed it but this album was incredibly progressive and chill and just very well performed.

Classic pysychadelic rock.

When I close my eyes I see Factory workers. It's music that would work well when you want to get things done and keep a pace and go and you could play this on repeat. Although it does make me sort of anxious.

Unexpectedly great

Wish you were here and shine on you crazy diamond are excellet

Old favorite. and still a favorite

Nice but so sad

Better than Prince. Still not great.

This is my first Pink Floyd album! Let me just say that this was longer than I thought. 44 minutes with a 5 song run time? Even though each of the parts of “Shine on You Crazy Diamond” are separated into two different songs, it’s still kind of concerning. This was a nice album, though. 4.2/5 Favorite Song: “Wish You Were Here” Least Favorite: None

I appreciate it but not really getting the hype

Sprawling and conceptual. Never gave Pink Floyd too much of a chance, but this seems like a concept album of the highest degree. Not exactly my cup of tea for an every day listen, but impressive nonetheless. Wish there were half stars.

In line with DSotM

Just a great listen, easy to drift away to, sounded incredible

Musicalmente es 5/5, pero no es algo que me pondría en mi día a día.

Great album. It's only 5 songs long but each song is a completely different experience. "Welcome to the Machine" is such a great track; hauntingly sad. I knew 2 songs before listening and the other 3 are just as great. The songs are very long and I'm not sure that was necessary.

Cool psychedelic album with amazing guitar work and strong messages.

I really have only listened to another brink in the wall and this album was so fantastic. I wonder if daft punk got some of there sounds for RAM from this album

A lot more instrumental than I anticipated. Lots of slow burns in a relatively short album. It was a nice listen!

Fantastic album, not my favorite Floyd but still really incredible. 4/5

Love the guitar, as always a good classic

,,

I enjoyed the guitar work a lot. It isn't something I would listen to normally, but I absolutely get why people dig it. Also some really fun production that I'm sure was groundbreaking at the time.

first one. 7.1.24. darkness in pants. guitarr carried

Good album, but already a well-known classic rock masterpiecez

After their magnum opus The Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd couldn't quite match the quality of that album with its successor. The title track is a classic, and all the parts of Shine On You Crazy Diamond make and epic synth and guitar - driven track for the ages. But Welcome to the Machine and Hava a Cigar, while not bad, leave me shrugging. The spark that was there in all the tracks of Dark Side (and would later resurface for most of The Wall) is just not anywhere to be found on this album. Which is not to say that it's bad by any means. It is a great album, but really not iconic. 4/5

Outstanding, sounds of the seventies another Masterpiece by Pink Floyd!

Has one of my favorite songs of all time a high 8

Recommended with headphones. I always thought Pink Floyd was for pot smokers and acid droppers. While that is still true, listening to them cover to cover, I can see why people are big fans. The songs are so long but it works well if you are having to listen to a whole album anyways. The transitions between melodies and beats make a long song feel like a journey. The ominous sounds always seem a little strange but the transitions make it all worthwhile. The ambience created is unlike anything you get from other albums. Uniqueness is a 10/10. The music is just fun to listen to. The guy who makes a weird cough noise at 40 secs in “Wish You Were Here” scared this shit out of me. The strange thing is, there’s no one song that I want to replay over and over like I generally do when I hear a song I like. With that being a said I still want to rate this album high because of how different and great sounding it is. This will be on the top of my list for a road trip. 8/10

Space, no one can hear you synthesize in space. This is a heavy sci-fi blues jam album. It’s very atmospheric and keeps a very solid theme throughout. It also does a great job of leading each song into the next making it a nice front to back album which Floyd is known for. It is a bit slow at times and some songs drag a bit with all the solos. I got really confused when the first song played at the end of the album again only to find out that it is a 9 part song spread through the entire album. Kind of took me out of it as I wanted to hear more varied tracks and instead just listened to the second half of a nearly thirty minute song (the album is 45min…) 7/10.

needed to be high

Shine On You Crazy Diamond pts 1-5- First 4 minutes are terribly slow when it does develop the music becomes very engaging and builds atmosphere quite well. For being a relatively slow paced song and for it being fairly long the song is able to maintain being fresh. Weakest point of the song is beginning that struggles to get to the point. Strongest point of the song is towards the end when the saxophone comes in and adds a little extra texture and emotion to an already emotional song. Overall the song is a fitting tribute to a founding member of the band. Welcome to the Machine- I love the way this song opens on this wavy synth and then dramatically strumming what sounds like a 12 string guitar. I love the darker tone of the song and I love that this song veils the criticism of the music industry in a way that it can be interpreted in multiple ways. Over all I think this a much stronger song than Shine on you Crazy Diamond. The various electronic effects combined with the simple guitar parts lends to a very powerful sonic dynamic that is very engaging. Have a Cigar- This song is considerably more to the point than Welcome to the Machine or Shine on you Crazy Diamond. It definitely does a great job of combining the more blues rock oriented base that Pink Floyd has with their more musically progressive tendencies. The vocals are a little inconsistent for me especially when the singer goes into the slightly softer parts. As far as a rock song goes musically it is very strong I didn't notice the weak vocal part in the rest of the song except for the part towards the beginning. Song does kind of randomly end without it feeling like it has reached its natural conclusion. Wish You Were Here- I really love this song. As somebody who isn't really into Pink Floyd this is one song that has seen the occasional play from me. I love the lyrics and think they are very relatable with feelings of alienation. Again I love the acoustic guitar in this song and the use of synths on this song and find that Pink Floyd is quite adept at this combo. I think this one of the strongest songs on this album. Vocally it is one of the strongest as well, it is very simple but packed full of emotion that lends itself well to over all idea of the song. Shine On You Crazy Diamond pts 6-9- The opening on this track is much stronger than on the first Shine on. The mixture of the synths and the electric guitar plus the simple drum beats and all the rest of the layering and textures going on in the beginning is quite masterful. The one thing I think that would make both Shine on's better is if they were back to back as a 25 minute piece instead of split up into 2 halves. Musically this one is much more engaging than the first shine on. I think it was wise to keep this song mostly instrumental. This song does a great job of keeping things engaging musically something that the opening track struggled with a bit. Definitely a strong album 4/5 I think. Would give it another listen even though it isn't in my normal wheelhouse.

Wish You Were Here is one of the greatest songs of all time. But I prefer lyrical Pink Floyd to their instrumental work.

Ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen, aber immer noch gut.

The middle three songs are fantastic and so are the sung parts of SOYCD but the endless instrumentals that make up half the album don't grip me very much.

I don't want to sound like my Grandad, but shaving 5 minutes off each of these wouldn't have hurt. The songs themselves are recognisably classics, especially Wish You Were Here.

Very good, although I give the edge to Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall. But still, this is a fantastic record. 8,5 out of 10

Great album

I have tried numerous times to appreciate this album's legacy, but I just think it is overblown. It is a very good album, but that is the extent of it.

A little bit slow, but I definitely enjoyed it.

beautiful and very pretty but Pink Floyd still feel a little one-note, enough so to not entirely impact me all the way through, one day I'll get over it maybe

Nice album frl

This is a great and amazing album! An amazing statement on the music industry and a beautiful love letter to Pink's former member Syd. RIP Syd. Shine on You Crazy Diamond: 9.3/10

I'll start by saying, for the longest time I was NOT a Pink Floyd fan.. I was into heavy music when I was young, on top of being straight edge psychedelic music never really stuck out to me BUT once I got older, I stopped claiming straight edge and I started experimenting and I remember listening to Pink Floyd while I took some mushrooms with a buddy of mine Mitch and that really showed me how amazing this band truly was.. Truly master musicians. NOW onto this album.. Nothing new but greatest honestly lol. The whole album has this great space atmosphere to it. I'd love to own this on vinyl one day. My favorite track on this brief, yet lengthy album is probably 'Wish You Were Here' obviously an amazing, very popular song.. but I also loved the opening track and the closing track, 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' parts 1-9. Overall: 3.9/5

The first time the band truly went full prog rock

3.5/5

Geiles Album, wenig Lieder, dafür lange. Sozusagen mehrere parts pro Lied. Sehr atmosphärisch

Good. Too spacey in parts. The three middle songs are great.

I liked this more than I thought I would

<3

A classic!

One of the only PF albums I thoroughly enjoy. “Have a Cigar” is probably my favorite song of theirs. 4/5 Would listen again

Pink Floyd is one of the bands that I have never gotten the hype of. I think their music is good, but not the holy grail as it is for lots of people. I have heard most of their catalog from before, but not this album. This album, I actually like more than the other stuff I have heared. I like that it is a bit more classical and not too experimental with bells and whistles all over the place.

posebna jaka nostalgija. lijepa melankolija koja motivira, kako to uspije ne znam...voljela bih da sam ja ta vrsta melankolije, koja radi a ne prokrastinira (someones getting personal okay).

Favorite Tracks: Wish You Were Here Welcome to the Machine Have A Cigar

Big vibez

I really enjoyed this record. Something about it hit all the right notes for me.

A classic Pink Floyd album. While I do think it is very good I still find that it not their best work, at least in my opinion. You only have 5 tracks to appreciate here and while they are all good I only find myself coming back for the title track. When I want to listen to Pink Floyd I'm much more inclined to put on Dark Side of the Moon over this.

Solid album. The songwriting is a little weak on side b

Solos épicos de guitarra, solo de sax me conquista demais Esse álbum foi mais complexo que o normal pra mim. Ele não é um álbum "versátil". Eu comecei ouvindo ele enquanto trabalhava e percebi que ouvindo ele de fundo, ele acabava se tornando meio genérico. Aí eu parei na metade e recomecei realmente prestando atenção só nele. Aí ao longo da primeira música eu fui percebendo que ele precisava ser ouvido num volume alto, se não ele perdia o peso e impacto necessário. E também um som bom faz uma baita diferença, dado o número de detalhes e nuances. Resolvendo esses 3 pontos, aí sim o álbum brilha e vira outra parada. Aí sim ele começa a "fazer sentido". Tu vai entendendo o esmero do álbum e da experiência que ele tenta passar. Parece que acaba se assemelhando mais a assistir um filme, do que a só ouvir música despretensiosamente. Destaques para os solos de guitarra do álbum inteiro. Os solos do David Gilmour são fudidos demais. O cara coloca o coração em cada nota. Sabe exatamente o que tá fazendo. Destaque também pro solo de sax do final da primeira música. Solos de sax sempre me conquistam, E, é claro, pra Wish You Were Here, baita música foda, e foi interessante ver que o timbre diferenciado do começo dela, meio de rádio, tá diretamente ligado ao final da música anterior. Não tem como negar que é um álbum bem fora da curva, desde que consumido da "maneira correta". Ainda estou no processo de gostar de Pink Floyd além das músicas clássicas, nessa experiência de ouvir os álbuns deles dessa maneira aqui descrita. Talvez num futuro, a medida que eu me acostume e entenda melhor, se torne até um 5*, mas por enquanto acho um 4* bem sólido.

great! wonderful, even! if you ever get the chance to listen to this record while in bed on the verge of sleep until you are violently brought back to consciousness by david gilmour groaning 'welcome to the machineeeeeee' in your ear i would highly recommend!

Virkelig også en god plade! Måske ikke helt lige så god som The Wall / Dark Side of The Moon , men forfriskende kort.

A classic but the concept style makes it hard to listen to on repeat.

One of the greatest classic rock albums of all time, but that's standard for Pink Floyd

Bit lengthy

I know that it is considered a masterpiece and I can enjoy how well-made and complex it is. But it's just not my specific vibe right now.

quite good so far

No descubriria la polvora si digo que floyd rosa es droga auditiva un album con un concepto muy marcado por la ausencia y la nostalgia. la portada es increible, muestra una simetria asimetrica y en cuanto a composicion de imagen, te genera orden y caos al mismo tiempo, 10/10 musicalmente, a pesar de la epoca y la poca tecnologia disponible, si bien tenian todos los chiches, se nota un mimo y un laburo de la reputisima madre. re largo pero aguantable (como esta)

Very good. Another band that was omnipresent when I was younger, but didn’t charm me enough to seek out any of their stuff to buy. Although in high school some friends of mine who were into Pink Floyd had me tag along with them to a concert during their tour for The Division Bell. That was a great show.

Absolute masterpiece. The production and instrumentation were awesome and provided listeners with a very mesmerizing and relaxing experience. "Wish You Were Here" is an all-time classic and "Welcome to the Machine" and "Have a Cigar" were perfect as well. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" parts 1-9 were great, but just a little too long and slow for my liking.

This was a time machine. 15 years old, bang into Pink Floyd and playing WYWH (the song) on guitar. I expected it to be worse in retrospect than it actually was. Shine on was really emotional, which is something The Floyd often lack, especially when you know that it's for Syd, and hear the (presumably apocryphal) story of him turning up during recording. And the title track remains an unqualified masterpiece. The emotion in the lyrics, the simplicity of the guitar, the very un-Floyd like lack of a seventeen minute outro, it's all there. It loses a bit for Have a Cigar and Welcome to the Machines being a little too proggy for my tastes, but overall, a very enjoyable listen.

This album goes from atmospheric to semi-theatrical in the longest, but hard-hitting way I've ever heard. I just listened to this album for the umpteenth time, but this hits different. After hearing the lyrics during what seems to be a scary burnout, it didn't cure me, but it's like talking to someone that understands you; nearly brought me to tears. Anyway, driving more towards modern synthesizers rather than pure rock like in their other albums, still in that experimental phase, though in here, it's more realized, as it's less a synth demo and more of an example of what happens when you combine soft rock/folk/easy listening with otherworldly sounds that come with the synths.

Easily some of my favorite type of beats to zone out too and just feel the every instrument. I know it’s the obvious choice but the dark side of the moon beats this album. My favorite songs on this album is have a cigar and wish you were here

I like a lot of Pink Floyd records. This is one of the better ones, but in the interest of not ranking several of them with five stars, I'll give it four.

The music is good, pleasant to listen to, but probably not in heavy rotation.

an absolute icon with some incredible songs but it's not exactly my thing

Moody journey with minimal lyrics. Good use of a variety of instruments that made the album interesting.

I really love Pink Floyd's instrumentals, so I really enjoy Shine On You Crazy Diamond, all parts of it. There's nothing that really stands out for me in the album, but it's so good from top to bottom. Really good listening.

Need to listen to more of it but it was actually pretty good.

I love this album, I don’t even really need to listen to this one. wish you were here was one of the first songs I learned on guitar as a teenager and even in my 30s it’s probably one of my favorite tunes to belt on an acoustic given the right opportunity. SYCD is fantastic. This thing probably blew the socks off people when it was released.

Good stuff

Floyd!

Great sound and atmosphere. Probably need more knowledge of the band to be moved by the Syd Barrett tribute element of it but I was still kinda moved. Good album. Best song: Wish You Were Here

moet goed zijn, was goed, geen verassingen

This is a singular masterpiece by one of the best and most unique musical acts in the last 50 years. Can you think of any great musician/group that sounded like Pink Floyd? I can't either. They are their own genre.

One of the most badass album covers of all time. It's been awhile since I've listened to the whole album, or any Pink Floyd album, in full. The instrumentals on the first track are tight. Great guitar playing by Gilmore. The synth work is very moody and sets a somber tone for the rest of the album. Welcome to the Machine is not my favorite... Have a Cigar is definitely a Rogers Waters song. Motifs of corporate greed, I'm sure they heard a lot of the things he sings about after the success of Dark Side of the Moon. The guitar tone is insane. Wish You Were Here is one of the best Pink Floyd Songs. Just an overall great tune. After listening to the whole thing, it's probably my fourth favorite Pink Floyd album. It is important in their discography though. Marks a change into the concept albums that came after it. The run from Dark Side of the Moon to The Wall is probably the strongest run of albums ever.

My favorite of their albums.

Stellar, it’s an experience to listen to it. Every song could be stand alone.

And I quote 'Pink Floyd be like "we live in a society." - 10 minute guitar solo.'

Very "Proggy" and pretentious, but a saxophone solo is always a win!

4.3 A great album, just not one of my personal PF faves. Fave songs: Shine on 1-9, wish you were here

540 albums is a long time to wait for some Pink Floyd. Almost as long as the wait for the first track to get going… But to be fair, the emotional payoff when the vocals come in is worth it. I found Welcome To The Machine a bit heavy-handed in its message and it doesn’t really go anywhere, but Have a Cigar does a much better job at tackling a similar subject matter, and is relatively concise and accessible by Pink Floyd standards too. The title track is great, no complaints there. All in all I don’t agree that the album is GOAT material, but I do ‘get’ why it’s in that bracket for some people. The ambition/scope of it has a kind of goaty quality, I think.

God dammit a prog masterpiece. Buckle up. 4.5/5

Really liked some of the guitar work! The singing is not my fave, and the experimental stuff doesn’t stand the test of time but some really really good tracks in there

Quite enjoyabke, very chill, recognised a lot of it. Proba ky won't return to it though.

Definitely a nice listen. The instrumentals are pretty awesome with tons of good solos from various instruments, including quite a bit of jazz influence which I enjoyed. I wasn’t mind blown like I wanted to be from this one though. 7/10

Good as usual.

An album that I can listen to repeatedly. That's why I look for in an album. 4.5

Still a good album on relisten

Artful and very tasteful but gets knocked down to a four because slow music makes me bored and impatient.

Love this album. Huge fan of Shine On You Crazy Diamond parts 1-5 so it's a fantastic way to start an album. Wish You Were Here is a classic but overall, a great album that brings back some good memories

Not my favorite Floyd album but I have really enjoyed this at different points in my life! It's kind of a perfect little album, love the backstory about Syd Barrett and the way the opener and closer just bookend this record so well. The songs in-between are absolute bangers! Wow I forgot how much I enjoyed this album

Psychedelic Rock masters. It's odd, and yet works.

la fórmula pink floyd, gilmour, la triste historia de syd barrett.

Not sure I've ever listened to this album all the way through. Obviously I knew all the songs but didn't know the feel of listening the songs they way they were presented on the album. Great album.

Great fishing music.

Dur à évaluer une écoute ajeun de 5 tounes. La 1ere de 13 min et la dernière de 12 min. C'est rêveur, ça calme, y'a du soul. C'est pas venu me chercher au fond de me entrailles alors pas de 5.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Pts. 1-5 // Have A Cigar // Wish You Were Here 4/5

Confession part 2 Never listened to Pink Floyd First half gave, Nevada, New Mexico, desert 70s film with Orange hue editing. Second half gave a rich man’s house with shag carpet, wearing emerald colored suit. All That randomness to say, good composition to paint a good visual for me (which is what my brain goes for). Not what I would throw on to vibe personally, but it is a good vibe .

3 stars immediately for Wish you were here alone. It gets 4 stars as I don't mind the instrumental sound and welcome to the machine. I probably won't ever play it through again in it's entirety though so not a 5.

This would have been a 5/5 from me about 15-20 years ago.

Excellent, but you have to be in the right mood. which is monged.

4.5

Loved this album. It was mixed beautifully and full of synthesizers and sounds that were intriguing and enchanting. Will definitely add this to my collection of albums to play and zone out to.

Aboslutely incredible. From start to finish, this just felt like an jam session with the boys. the guitars were so smooth, and the mixing was just right. Loving this remaster.

Funny that Pink Floyd is a UK band, I honestly didn't realize that. It should have been apparent on some of the way they said certain lyrics, but reading this today kind of shocked me. I'm happy anytime we get a Floyd album on here because I never listened to them growing up but knew of their power. This was another really great album. Some long tracks, seemed like they were having fun jamming out. I wouldn't call it my favorite Floyd album but it's a great one.

Really, really dig this one. In the same vein as Dark Side of the Moon, at least sonically. Doesn't seem as concept-heavy perhaps, but still very strong. Love the long, meandering prog tracks. Out of five, I'm saving four: the one not making the cut is "Have a Cigar," which is the shortest track but still pretty enjoyable. It feels weird to have only really listened to Pink Floyd now through this project, because I really dig their style. Bravo, gentlemen. This is one I could definitely see growing to a five star with more time and listens. Favorite tracks: Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here, Welcome to the Machine. Album art: A classic, maybe not as iconic as DSOTM, but deserves a place in the pantheon. Man shaking hands with a man on fire, on a studio backlot. The framing looks strikingly modern, and I just love the little portion of the border that's burned away for asymmetry. Amazing. Metro Boomin essentially remixed this cover for "Heroes & Villains," I don't blame him. This one's a doozy. 4.5/5

First time listening to Pink Floyd and it was very relaxing, the album is a good listen, Have a Cigar and Wish You Were Here were my favourite songs.

track 1- one of the best intro’s ive ever heard, mind blowing song track 2- very interesting parts, song almost moves into different genre’s at times. so before its time track 3- some brilliant guitars and just all around good track 4- no words needed track 5- not actually heard this, v good. really fucking good. too high to write more

groovy. nice background music

This album is only 40 minutes long but it feels much longer.There are only five songs but like three of them are over 10 minutes long.I don’t understand how people can listen to shine of you crazy Diamond.It’s too long and most of it is kinda boring guitar noodling.BUT wish you were here is a great song with a top tier solo so I’m giving this album a 4.

Certaines pièces sont des chefs-d'œuvre. J'aime bien l'aspect exploratoire, même si parfois mon attention se détourne du résultat.

8,5/10

It's indulgent, but the good kind, like a rich chocolate cake.

Tough not to feel a certain way listening to the first 10 mins of this album. A long track, but I’m here for it. Might be an unpopular opinion, but Wish You Were Here doesn’t really do much for me. Shine On and Have a Cigar though. Two of their best. Almost a 5 for this one. But need to keep those in the reserve.

Enjoyed listening to this. These guys are super cinematic; it's part of their mystique. Some really crazy effects and synth. Welcome to the Machine is overall a good song but it really goes to some unpredictable places. Have a Cigar is a really fucking cool song and I haven't heard it as much as some of the other tracks by this band. Listened to the album a couple of times and will revisit

Bill classic

At some point I thought this was Pink Floyd’s best album. Listening to it now I’m not as hot on it compared to their other works. There’s just something I find missing in it. But that’s not to decry this album too much. I still enjoy revisiting it

It is quite impressive the depth that Pink Floyd manage to achieve within this album. The solo melodic lines are pretty much the definition of epic. I do question some of the lyrics - they seem rather banal and trite, but perhaps I am missing the point of them. Some times though, when the context of the album is understood, they are more pertinent and even witty e.g. 'Oh by why the way which one's pink'. What an amazing tribute - an album to their ex-band member. They manage to write long songs that maintain the interest throughout - never are you stuck in exposure to pointless repetitions for the sake of it - the solo lines and the accompanying instrumentation have you hanging on their every note. Very good stuff.

Best song ever. Though I find Shine a bit self-indulgent.

4.5

quite nice love it

Better than expected. For some reason Ive always felt Pink Floyd was tedious but this was great!

Very nice

A caterpillar eating a hearty casserole of shit and peas. This is the death of innocence and the birth of Margaret The Fucklord, ruler of the nipple peasants. All Hail her.

Probably one of Pink Floyd's better albums... but for me personally, I was never that hooked on their music, even though many peops rave about them. Opening track.... sooooooooo long.... a bit of a trademark of the group, with the shortest track being 5 mins, and it did sound very Dire Staits Money For Nothing. That said, I enjoyed this album, despite other stuff they've done which I find tedious.

Good album

3.5

Pink Floyd at it's best....I'd give it a 5, but gotta make room for Dark Side of the Moon....

Today I got my third helping of Pink Floyd, this time with the album Wish You Were Here. This is Floyd's ninth studio album, and deals with themes of mental health, depression, and alienation, while also criticising the music industry (notably: Welcome to the Machine). Shine on You Crazy Diamond is based on former member Syd Barrett, who had to leave the band due to deteriorating mental health issues. Have a Cigar is a rockin' tune sung by Roy Harper which is located smack in the middle of this melancholic masterpiece. It provides the shot in the arm that this record needs at just the right moment! Wish You Were Here is an absolutely beautiful song! I believe this album gets some flak from critics, and listeners alike because it is compared to the stellar masterpiece that Pink Floyd released directly prior to this album, "Dark Side of the Moon". Anything would pale in comparison to that massive classic! Overall, because of the melancholic mood of this record, it is not my favourite of Pink Floyd's records, but it still deserves its time on the podium for all that it did for the prog rock genre as well as music as a whole. Favourite songs: Wish You Were Here, Have a Cigar, Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-9) Least favourite songs: If forced to pick, Welcome to the Machine 4/5

This things only 45 minutes and 5 songs, two of those being 15 minute guitar solos so there legit no room for error. I don’t usually like ridiculously long guitar solos but these ones are real emotional and the couple song they wedge between em are so solid so the structure of the album is the most standout thing but it’s really interesting and it works

What can you say, it's a classic. Floyd got the most out of 70's studio tech by far. They certainly had vision.

So uh. I am a little underwhelmed. It's not bad by any means, but I wasn't super emotionally affected by anything. Maybe I expect too much from certain groups after hearing all the hype. I hear "Wish You Were Here" a lot on classic rock radio so I'm a little sick of it - sorry! Still, I really dug the guitar work on Shine On You Crazy Diamonds (Pts. 1-5), and Have a Cigar was pretty neat as well! It wasn't super duper amazing to me, but maybe it just needs another listen. Definitely a solid album everyone indeed must hear at least once, though.

Zadnji pravo dobar floyd album ujedno i jebeno precijenjen ko i dark side.

Great Album! Never been big on some Pink Floyd Vocals, but their music is *Chefs Kiss*.

When I was younger I thought this was the best Floyd album, but now I think I can admit that Dark Side Of The Moon is better. Even so, it's about as good as Pink Floyd is ever going to get. Moody, maudlin, angry at the world, but still compelling.

Pink Floyd at their best

Worth it for shine on you crazy diamond alone

Alright, folks, buckle up, because we're about to take a journey into the world of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. I can confidently say that this album is a masterpiece that deserves a place in any music lover's collection. This album is a true work of art that showcases Pink Floyd's signature sound and musical genius. One of the standout tracks on this album is "Welcome To The Machine." This haunting and mesmerizing song takes the listener on a journey through the darker side of the music industry. From the pulsing synthesizers to the haunting vocals, "Welcome To The Machine" is a powerful commentary on the dehumanizing effects of fame and success with a sound that will make you feel like you're on a wild acid trip. But don't worry - it's a fun ride. But "Welcome To The Machine" is just one piece of the puzzle that makes up Wish You Were Here. The album as a whole is a stunning example of Pink Floyd's ability to create complex and layered compositions that take the listener on an emotional journey. From the soaring guitar solos of the epic "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" to the melancholic beauty of the title track which is a masterpiece that will transport you to another dimension, Wish You Were Here is a true masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences to this day. Just make sure you have some snacks on hand, because this journey is going to take a while. This album is a must-listen for any fan of progressive rock or music in general, so if you're ready to take a break from your boring, mundane existence and explore the depths of your mind with some killer tunes, then the Wish You Were Here is the album for you. Just be warned, you might not come back the same person.

Excellent, but short album.

A good album, but not great.

After more than 500 albums, many psychedelic and experimental music among them, and one early Pink Floyd album, I was expecting to enjoy it less, mainly because of possible repetitiveness. However, it's indeed a great album despite any previous concept.

Some absolute choons

Nice chill vibes for a Friday morning

thought this was going to be rinse boomer shit but it was actually good

Spacy, kinda bluesy? Some extended instrumentals, but never felt too rambly

Great album, probably one of my favourite Pink Floyd albums

Joda, ganske digg dette.

pretty good! not what i expected

Ohhhhh Michael van Gerwen

I wish I could give this album 5 stars. "Wish You Were Here" & "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" are two of my all-time favorite Pink Floyd songs. However, "Have A Cigar" is one of my all-time least favorite Pink Floyd songs. I'm indifferent to "Welcome To The Machine." 4/5: A flawed masterpiece.

A good pink floyd outing, not my favourite of theirs.

the jury is still out on pink floyd for me. part of me wants to say over rated but i did enjoy this listen!

3.5

I really believe this is a work of art, or at least it sounds that way. Every single factor of the music feels like it was placed with intense care and thought. Maybe that’s not what was happening in the studio during the recording, but that’s what the end product was. However, I personally don’t think I can listen to this casually. I would need to be in a specific mood to listen to any of the songs, and nevertheless, I would need to have a full listen through of the album to satiate that mood. Still, this album is excellent and overall a great time. Favorite track: Wish You Were Here

While not my favorite Pink Floyd album, it’s a strong one

Probably my favourite Floyd album. Love how focused and cohesive the album is to give a complete experience.

Good. Very different than other Pink Floyd albums that I have listened to.

I can see how this album has influenced many other artists.

I really dig it

Great

Across the Universe movie vibes. Shine On's length was intimidating but masterfully executed to feel full and complete without dragging on or being repetitive. The lyrics also felt organic to the song and not like a tacked on after thought. Flutes and Saxophones always appreciated. Didn't realize I knew Wish You Were Here. The album feels like an ethereal LSD trip in Parts.

I truly think Pink Floyd get overhyped by people who make one band their whole personality (or was that just people I met? 🤔). But I still quite like them tbh, this album feels like rock at it's core, but done in a novel way. One of the top 5 Pink Floyd albums. Not a 5 for me in the end. Entertaining and interesting album that I'll revisit sometime though. Missing that true spark of connection for me though.

I give the album a high rating only because of the "Wish You Were Here" and @"Have a Cigar"

I was pretty sure I knew every song on this album – well, there are only five. I hadn’t ever listened to it start to finish though. I knew it was a concept album - partly un homage to Syd Barrett and was fully on board with it. I hadn’t ever realised ‘Shine on you crazy Diamond’ had 900 parts to it but I was fully committed and very into it until the last ‘song’ or the last 712 parts of Crazy Diamond. That’s when my interest began to wane, and even though I appreciate what a clever and well-crafted album it is, my concentration dipped. I could’ve done with track number five being a completely different song. I do think it was very poignant and clever without being smug. A solid experience and much as I might have tuned out towards the end I do appreciate PF a lot but in smaller doses.

Love the band, love the album.

I knew every note of this album in high school. I never reach for it anymore. That's how I feel about most of Floyd's catalog, save for Piper. Not that I don't like them, but I just OD'd on it. I find it hard rating these classic rock albums. The intro to Shine On has always dragged on too long, IMO, and I say this as someone for whom Gilmour is his favorite guitarist. But there's too much keyboard noodling for my tastes. But when Roger starts singing, it's all good. The intro to Welcome to the Machine is great, though. Menacing. Such a weird song, too. Subtle time changes. The music sounds very Doctor Who. In a good way. Have a Cigar: Another killer into. I dig songs that are immediately recognizable. Title track: I mean, what can you say about it, other than it's great. The second helping of Shine On is great, too. I dig the See Emily Play quote at the end. Well, I enjoyed that. The musicianship and songwriting and production are all aces. Still, it feels very high school to me. I wonder how soon I'll feel like listening to it again. I know PF struggled creatively in the wake of Dark Side, having achieved everything they ever set out to do. There was a lot of "OK, now what?" But they pulled through with an album that's still speaking to millions of people all these years later. Impressive.

So I listened to Wish You Were Here twice, because it appeals more to me than most Pink Floyd stuff, but not throughout and I wanted to give it a chance to win me over. It pretty much did, mostly because of the bookend tracks which are stellar, the title track works well too though as a simple easy rock song. The Crazy Diamond journey is obviously proggy but not in a way I disliked for a change. This is really good 4/5 stuff.

Not quite as good as The Wall, or Dark Side of The Moon (certainly in terms of storytelling), but still very very good. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is the best bit of proper prog (i.e. long songs with lots of instrumental) that they've done (and possibly that anyone has done?), the title track is superb, and there's some really great caustic lyrics about the music industry in particular (by the way, which one's Pink?). It's an incredible soundscape with a few bits that make you really listen - DSOTM and The Wall don't really have those lulls, so that's why this only gets a 4 rather than a 5, but it's very very close.

I bought a bootleg tape of Pink Floyd's Delicate Sound of Thunder at a flea market in Myrtle Beach back in 1988. I didn't know a lot of Pink Floyd - mostly things from The Wall. But that first track, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, is pretty fucking amazing. And I gauge that mainly by two criteria- 1) I really love it and 2) it's almost 12 minutes long. This one opens with a lesser version of 'Shine' - it feels lethargic compared to the live version. That said, it's hard to deny the chops of these guys. They aren't playing in a standard songwriting sandbox and yet this is frequently engaging. Pretty good stuff.

I’ve yet to go through a Pink Floyd phase in my life and I’m guessing that at this point I never will. As such, I am not overly exposed to this album and really liked it. Definitely meanders a tad, but the middle is strong and the title track never fails to make me wish I could sing. Anybody remember when Limp Bizkit and the Goo Goo Dolls covered it for the televised concert after 9/11?? Never forget.

Good one.

I had never heard this album front to back, and I found it to be incredibly experimental, even for Pink Floyd. "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" is a masterwork in synth, as is the chilling "Welcome to the Machine". "Wish You Were Here" strips things down a bit more and is almost a ballad. It's wild that these two iconic songs were never singles from this album. The songs both take on new life when heard in the context of the entire album, though. Honestly, the entire album evokes interesting vibes. It's haunting, surreal, melancholy, and strange. I'm not sure if I LOVED it, but it really intrigued me, and has stuck with me and I can't get it out of my head. To me, that's worth something.

It's pink flyod at their pinkiest floydiest. Lots of interesting ideas and songs, but stretched out too far. Brilliant, but also over indulgent.

Everyone knows who Pink Floyd is, but I never really listened to them prior to checking out this album. For some reason, the idea of their music (paradoxically ill-defined in my head) didn't appeal to me. How nice it was, then, to enjoy this collection. While I doubt I could do so directly and actively – the songs are somewhat slow-paced – the musicality is absolutely there. Great for indirect listening, I feel.

There's so much time and space on this album. Nothing is rushed. The songs and instruments are given room to breathe. It takes nine minutes before the first vocals drop. Yet you don't feel that you are left hanging around waiting for them. When they finally do arrive, "Remember when you were young?" is a great album opener. The saxophone break on Shine On achieves almost the impossible of adding some soul to Pink Floyd. Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar lag slightly. A four star album for three outstanding tracks.

Good not my fav Pink Floyd album but very good

One of the all time greats. I have been listening to this album for as long as I can remember and it still hits me in the same intense way every time. A most beautiful guy punch.

Pretty cool.

pink floyd - wish you were here (1975) notes - pink floyd is another band who will have multiple spots on this list - an iconic album - the songs on here really take their time to build and make sure that they hit extra hard fav song - wish you were here - this song is up there with roundabout in the 10/10 songs category - really the only song here that i think works just as well without the context of the album lest fav - shine on you crazy diamond pt 1-5 - felt like it went on too long, not as interesting as pt 6-9 - but it works as the opener for this album, sets the tone not my favourite album from pink floyd but still very good 4/5

I enjoyed this more that I thought I was going to. I've been told Pink Floyd is just noise, but it was enjoyable noise. My favourite song was Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-5).

Roger Waters is heartwarming.

Solid album

Unique and cool to have in the background. Makes you think you're on a journey

Interesting ebbs and flows. I wouldn't call it iconic Pink Floyd, but it does encapsulate their experimental nature. Not for casual listening.

Fricken huge sax but ultimately not my favourite of their back catalogue

Both spacious and focused. I own this which says a lot considering I am not a Floyd fan.

Well, it's Pink Fucking Floyd! No less than 4 stars. Annoying choice of mine on which YouTube purveyor I choose today... Let's see how I feel Monday

It's a great listen, absorbing and intriguing with real moments where the soundscape soars and carries you along with it. Occasionally there is a sense with Pink Floyd's other, let's say 'busier' albums, that the music is overshadowed by the production but with this they complement the other perfectly. There are flashes here and there of haunting solos and melancholy melodies and this helps the album's cohesion. You feel they have something to say and an idea of how to say it. I suspect this one may grow even more on me with repeated listens. Really very good.

Prachtig, maar dit luister je dan maar 1x in de 5 jaar ofzo.

Pink Floyd stands by themselves with nearly every album they have. Their take on experimentalism in music as well as their epic-saga style of writing and composition is a major point of their success where for others that tried this, failed to really stick the landing. The band manages to tell a complete story but keep the music interesting without the overbearing repetitiveness that experimentalists tried to do. Where "The Wall" has a prolonged theme with political commentaries, or where "Dark Side of the Moon" has a spatial element, this album tends to feel a bit more personal as each song title is a platitude to the listener. In a way, we are being sung either to or towards. The slow disco-esque "Have a Cigar" starts with a familiarizing hook and melody, and then takes a major turn into something else. The band is satirizing their success, grappling with whether or not they are the makers of their own success, or if they are just a product of The Machine. As mentioned, the album feels personal and it is good for doing so.

I used to listen to Pink Floyd a lot as an angsty teen. This is a good album.

solid PF, but not in the leagues of dark side or the wall

Musik zum ... Entspannen / Genießen

Estuvo bn aunque muy largo para mi gusto.

This album really brings into conflict all of the things that I like and hate about Pink Floyd. There are some great songs on here, especially Have a Cigar and Wish You Were Here. The songs are musically creative, well-executed, and have interesting lyrics. That's what I like about Pink Floyd. Then there's the bad Pink Floyd. The one that disappears into interminable jams for half of the goddamn album. Shine on You Crazy Diamond could be a good song if it wasn't so unstructured for most of it. Pink Floyd has made several long songs that I like (like anything off of Animals), but on this album it just feels like filler. This album is great when it's good and deeply frustrating when it's not. I think overall the good outweighs the bad on this one, but it's close, and that's why I don't listen to this one often 4/5

One of the greats.

J'aurais justement souhaité que les Pink Floyd soit là au moment où j'écoutais cet album pour pouvoir leur dire leur quatre vérités.

Enfin, les Pink Floyd montrent toute l'étendue de leur talent après un premier album des plus surcotés. J'ai d'ailleurs grâce à cet album pu élaborer la théorie suivante: tout groupe légendaire a une part de génie, seulement une fois cette dernière démontrée, la masse générateurienne prend cela pour acquis, et qualifie tout album du groupe en question de génial. Cette théorie a néammoins un caillou dans son soulier, puisque David Bowie n'a lui aucune once de génie.

I had listened to it once before. I like it, but not as much as DSOTM and The Wall.

Absolute classic

Another classic of its time.
