First of all, thank you all! @darkeve if you read this let me know if you liked it @arkan let the party begin I haven't read it but I think I will take it @geo I won't make comments to avoid spoilers, I'll just say that it moved me a lot, but it also made me "angry" and sad, and my comment is not a "motherly" one :-) as for the review, sometimes I find myself being overly essential and concise, and I would like to write more, stretch it out a bit more, but I just can't seem to do it :)

Thanks, Bartle! Yes, it was released around November - December, highly recommended.

maybe I’ll listen to different class, which is often mentioned alongside other English rock from the 90s

@donnie and teenage, I think the same about ummagumma. It's a transitional record in the worst sense of the term. The live tracks are already known pieces, resonating live, stretched out. The studio album, aside from Gilmour's piece (narrow way), really has little that’s beautiful.

I wanted to write "WHO wasn't influenced by the 4 in the 60s?"

uhm..drunkedqueen, I love Barrett but..what does it have to do with it? Aside from the fact that the Beatles had Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison, and Barrett always stated the influence of the four on him (who wasn't influenced by the four in the 60s?)

@woodstock the Beatles definitely experimented, starting from Rubber Soul, in sounds, writing, structure, approach, recording techniques... this was already discussed a few months ago in deb, in the review of Live at BBC.

I must admit that I have never listened to them.

I don't vote for the review because, although it is well written, I really don't agree with the content: first of all, the comparison with Revolver and Sgt. Pepper is completely off; these are albums with totally different approaches, sounds, writing, etc. I also don't understand why this masterpiece shouldn't be considered one of the most beautiful albums in the history of rock, given that in '67 two other masterpieces were released, like Velvet and Pink Floyd. Moreover, the Beatles had been releasing milestones since '65 (Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, White Album). Then you mention Ummagumma, which isn't exactly the best of Pink Floyd, huh (especially the studio album is rather poor; overall it's just sufficient, nothing extraordinary compared to what they had done before and what they would do after). You also mention King Crimson and Buckley, released in the same year; beautiful, no doubt, but definitely not superior to Abbey Road, one of the most complete and beautiful albums by the Beatles, without a shadow of a doubt. Claiming that this album has its importance in the iconic cover and that it is a "kitschy surrogate of pop blues reminiscences and pseudo-psychedelic nursery rhymes" is not only incomprehensible but historically wrong.
