A "transitional" album in a sense (out goes Syd, in comes Gilmour), but no less beautiful than its predecessor, bolstered by the presence of two absolute masterpieces such as "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" and "A Saucerful of Secrets," along with the haunting and heartbreaking farewell letter of "Jugband Blues" from a Barrett who is now irretrievable. "...and what exactly is a dream..."

Pink Floyd: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

27 apr 16

I prefer the Floyd without Barrett, I'd be lying if I said otherwise. A milestone, absolutely, but here and there there's stuff that doesn't excite me. Who cares, "Astronomy Domine" and "Interstellar Overdrive" are enough to guarantee them my 5 stars anyway.

Pink Floyd: The Wall

27 aug 15

The ultimate concept album, one of the records I'm most attached to. A masterpiece on a conceptual level even before being musical, not the best of Floyd but definitely the last great masterpiece before the decline. I’ll state an obvious thing, but "Comfortably Numb" is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard... "is there anybody out there?"

Pink Floyd: More

10 may 16

Considered (not without reason) a minor record, both due to its original nature as a soundtrack and its placement between two heavyweight albums like "Saucerful" and "Ummagumma," the third studio album by the Floyd is still a work not to be underestimated: amidst exquisite delicate acoustic ballads and "bucolic" tunes, psychedelic escapades, and unedited hard hints, "More" remains an enjoyable and evocative record. 3.5
