Title: A well rounded, excellent album
Review: Wish You Were Here is not Pink Floyd's best work by any means. With that said, it is still in my top ten rock albums of all time. Overall, the quality of the record is increadible. The twenty five minuet "shine on you Crazy Diamond" takes you on a journey through soundscape after soundscape, inviting you on a voyage into the regrets and hardships related to the loss of original band leader Syd Barret. The only weak link in the chain may well be "Welcome to the Machine", a good song, but by no means up to par. "Wish You Were Here" is quite possibly the greatest song ever recorded, and not for its musical content. It has this strange habit of being associated with people/ places that you miss dearly, and often triggers a flood of memories from times well spent. Buy the Wall or Darkside first, but add this to your collection shortly after.
