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.

I know this is meant to be a classic ’n' all, but I found it indulgent and ploddy. The singer does sound rather depressed, but I’m not sure why. And to be honest I wasn’t really drawn in enough to try to find out. Not for me.
