Title: a brilliant follow up to Dark Side....
Review: Probably the most melodic Floyd album. The band members collaborated on the music, and it shows. The lush keyboards of Rick Wright and the bluesy guitar of David Gilmour, while seemingly at odds, mesh quite well . The lyrics are at times incredibly cynical ( especially on "Have A Cigar" a diatribe against the music business and "Welcome to the Machine" which makes the listener for once feel a bit of pity for the mega rich rock star, no small feat in itself) and at times quite sentimental ( the title track, split into two different sections, is an affectionate ode to Syd Barrett, their leader in the very early days of the Floyd.) Another great Floyd album.Essential. I think it's my favourite.
Is the review positive or negative?
