THE REVIEW
It rains. A light drizzle penetrates the city's air. One is alone, in a part of the world, and one cannot help but dream, while the notes of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" flow from my Fender amplifier, and one continues to dream...
Because the Pink Floyd, what are they? They are a ray of sunshine in a messy room. They are a play of shadows in a dusty, dimly lit attic. They are the pages of a half-read book. They are a white Stratocaster with two or three strings missing. They are a half-open door leading to infinity.
Because only when you hear the four notes of "Shine On" do you understand... that you have arrived... and have only just begun.
And suddenly it's evening.
[I ask a favor: if the review does not please you, I humbly ask you not to start attacking me saying that I have tarnished a masterpiece, etc... but I would prefer you to tell me what really is wrong with the writing, so I can improve in future reviews. Thank you.]

A few words on the matter are necessary to describe five tracks of rare perfection, of pure psychedelia.
When the stereo starts playing, it becomes clear why this album is a true milestone in the history of rock.

Pink Floyd has never let us down.
Tell me, isn’t this the real music?
By Em
"Wish You Were Here can be defined as a concept album about absence: of the word, but also of the individual and thought."
"Pink Floyd were, are, and always will be the group that achieved pure perfection, both musically and ‘textually’."
By SydBarrett
It was as if he had never left the group; indeed, he hovered like a ghost, bringing sad memories that then influenced, more or less, the songs and themes of Pink Floyd.
A masterpiece, giving chills even today, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful songs of all time.
By Fausto91
The emotions given by Gilmour’s guitar are impressive and indescribable. To be listened to at dawn.
The album concludes with the second part of Shine On You Crazy Diamond, which in my opinion remains the most important reason to purchase this CD.
