5i mostly just wanted to comment about the crazy daimond song  Sep 12, 2009
don't know what more to say other than to say it . . . the crazy daimond songs reminds me of Johann Strauss's "The Blue Danube."(it's that famous 2001 music). If you've listened to both, I think you'll know what I mean!

2way too much, way too less  Aug 23, 2009

1.0 out of 5 stars way too much ego, way too little experiment, August 23, 2009
A Kid's Review
This here album must surely be the kind of stuff that meat pigs dig because it is highly atrocious. I would even say this disc is a DOWNRIGHT INSULT on the name pink floid!
On a good day I would give albums like Saucerful, Ummagumma, More and Obscured by clouds 5 stars if they only would not be totally outdated and passé.
DSOTM is a commercial, lacklustre experience compared to the earlier Floid name and fame, WYWH is in all reality without basis and mature instrumentation, Animals is painstakingly boring and The Wall is a complete disaster, weak songs, even weaker themes and an instrumentation to abhor. I'd take Absolutely curtains or Party sequence every day above the later Barf Void!

4Missing the full quadrophonic effect  Aug 17, 2009
As Dark Side of the Moon has long been considered one of the definitive stand out stereo recordings, often used by audiophiles to show off their systems, I was always under the impression that Wish You Were Here was intended to be the same for the short lived Quadrophonic recordings. I had thought this was Pink Floyd's only Quadrophonic recording. Pink Floyd On-line states that Atom Heart Mother, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here were all Quadrophonic recordings. It would of course be easy to give this recording 5 stars, but since the original was intended to have a fuller presence with 4 channel sound, I can't give it 5. Especially since the technology of most systems people are using to play this recording (5.1 home theater receivers) have the capability to do so. Would it really be that hard for a recording engineer to remap the 4 channel original recording to a 5.1 (or just 4.1, leaving the center quiet and since the sub is omnidirectonal) channel recording. Release it as DVD audio. I suspect the audience for such landmark recordings could justify it. If it is true that Atom Heart Mother and Dark Side of the Moon were Quadrophonic recordings as well, then there are 2 more DVD audio remasters of Pink Floyd I'd like to hear.

5One of the greatest albums of all time  Jul 24, 2009
I'm not a Pink Floyd fan. My room isn't lined with any of their posters, I don't know the names of the members, and I've never even listened to any of their songs outside of this album. Not even "Dark Side of the Moon." It's not that I dislike them, I've just never taken the time to listen to any of their other albums. After listening to this one however, I don't even think there's a reason to.

A friend actually loaned me this CD and just told me to listen to it. I did.

It was amazing.

This is without a doubt, without even the slightest shred of doubt in my mind, one of the single greatest collection of songs of all time. I mean, the record has only five songs but that's all it really needs. Each one is unique, heartfelt, nostalgic, and it just feels like the band took every ounce of heart and soul they had and crammed it into these five classic masterpieces of song.

I would pay a thousand dollars for this CD and still call it a discount.

Buy it now.
