Reviews Welcome to my review page. I review the albums as I buy them, so it may take awhile for this to be complete. If you have any reviews that you would like posted, email me and I'll post them. Ummagumma: $$$ 1968 This album really intrigued me. The thought of all of the Pink Floyd artists at that time, Waters, Gilmour, Wright, and Mason, combnined on one disc doing solo tracks seemed ingenious...but then I played it. The tracks on the album weren't quite what I was expecting. It starts off on a high note with Wright's "Sysphus 1-4." These were done by the keyboardist, and they are a very good example of his skills. Next comes Water's two songs. By themself they are repectable, but they don't come close to comparing with what he later released. Gilmours "The Narrow Way 1-3" are the best on the album. They have the Pink Floyd feel that we know and love. The album ends on a decent not with Mason, the percussionists, final three tracks which evidence his ability. Maybe when I picked up the album I was expecting too much, such as the album having a cohisive feel like their later work, but it is pretty good. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that there is also included a second disc of tracks performed live. These are great. They are definetly the high point of the set. Meddle: $$$$ 1971 I picked this up not knowing what too expect and it was spectacular. This is the first look into the "Pink Floyd Sound." The first track, "One of These Days," is an awesome adventure through their instrumental music. Then the album picks up with "A Pillow of Winds," and "Fearless," which are very, very, solid pieces of music. The next two tracks are shorter than the first, but they are just as good. The last of this six track album, is definetly not shorter than the first three. In fact, it is about as long as the first five songs on the album. This is "Echoes," and it is spectacular. It has the vocal sound of tracks from the later released "Dark Side of the Moon." It is has good lyrics, and great sound. Meddle, is a must own for Pink Floyd Fans. Dark Side of the Moon: $$$$$ 1973 If it wasn't for this album, I would have never gotten into Pink Floyd. Using sound effects that range from palpitations of the heart to airplanes. This album has the greatest depth, musically and lyrically, of all the albums that I own. My favorite track is "Money," but if you go out and buy it, listen to the whole album first to get the full effect. Adding to the mysitque around this album are the rumors about the cover, album being released on the anniversary of the first lunar landing, and of course the now famouse Wizard of Oz idea. Revered by many as the best album ever, and sales nearing 30 million copies, it would be hard to find someone reading this that does not own this album. Animals: $$$$1/2 1976 This album is great. When I first saw it, I thought it was extremely short, five tracks, but one it 17+ minutes and two others are over ten minutes. This album is supposedly modeled after George Orwell's Animal Farm. Maybe I like this album so much because I really enjoy his literature, but this album contains plenty of music that is great too. Plenty guitar solos, plenty of lyrical outbursts, plenty of great drums. This album rivals with The Wall for my second favorite. The Wall: $$$$1/2 1979 Once again, here comes an album that must be absorbed in it's entirety. This album took a few listens before I developed such a strong liking to it, but now it's one of my top 3. The three installments of "Another Brick in the Wall" are my favorites, and they are the ones that ganered the album to rank second in sales only to DSOM. In my opinion, this album is lyrically the deepest of all, displaying anger at any given moment, but musically it doesn't suffer either. Comfortably Numb has become a staple in most of their live performances. This album can be listened to over an over agian, and something new is discovered each time. If anyone else sees a comparison to George Orwell's 1984 let me know.
