The live album is clearly, simply one of the greatest live records in the history of rock. With that, the discussion can be considered closed.
The studio work is the most experimental and least accessible (though not entirely inaccessible) of their career, but it contains some of their most fascinating and interesting compositions. Among these, the one I like the least (but still at an excellent level) is Gilmour's, while the Watersian duo between the cacophony and extreme experimentation of "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict" and the relative lightness of "Grantchester Meadows" is remarkable. The parts by Wright and Mason are of great quality and suggestiveness (perhaps the most surprising).
A central and fundamental work of the Floyd's underground period and among the avant-gardes of the time.

A record I loved at first, when I still knew little about Pink Floyd, set aside for quite a few years afterwards and recently picked up again with great enthusiasm. Now it’s my favorite from their early period. Truly a great album in both parts. Oh, and The Narrow Way is perhaps my favorite track from the second disc.

It's a shame that the live album is so short. Better than Pompeii :D "Granchester Meadows" is one of the most beautiful songs by the Pink Floyd, it's odd that Waters wrote it, as if it were a tribute to the youth of his mates Syd and David, who grew up on the meadows of Granchester, a lovely little village attached to Cambridge. A masterpiece.

Anyway, it's pure bucolic British folk, beautiful.

I agree about the live performance. But hey, the studio album, I don’t know. There are some parts that really grab me, but overall it feels a bit heavy, at least when I'm sober. Maybe it works better on acid, but I don’t have any money, so all I can do is sniff some glue and try listening again.

Under acid, the first two are definitely worth listening to; Umma's experiments, in my opinion, stray from those paths. And I still agree with you, fuck Rocky, the studio album doesn't fully convince me, even though, as I mentioned earlier, it contains some of their best stuff.

I’m the first to admit I didn’t digest the study part for quite a while; it definitely grabs and “involves” less than many other Floydian works, but in my opinion, as an experimental piece, it’s among the best of the era.
