Atom Heart Mother
Date undefinedThe review title says it all, I bought this album reluctantly ( cow issues ) but two months later I still keep skipping to it on my Ipod, "Summer of '68" alone is worth the price of the album, buy it already!
Atom Heart Mother
Date undefinedAnother strange album from Pink Floyd. Not that it's that bad, by any means, it's just that they still don't know what sound they want. This is Pink Floyd's peak as a progressive band, but Pink Floyd are not known for being progressive now, are they? They're known for being spacey and out there. This isn't that out there. Well, the title track definetly is. Written in collaboration with Ron Geesin, a avantgarde composer. The suite is fairly impressive to be perfectly honest, and it does paint the way for future epics, but it loses momentum after a while. The main theme is terrific, very epic sounding and paves the way for The Wall even. Gilmour contributes more solos on this album, which is fine by me, I love me some Gilmour solos. Breast Milky, the second part, is kinda cheesy but still listenable. But, the middle parts are crap. They don't merge with the earlier parts at all, and for the most part, are noisemaking. Bah, Floyd, no more noise! The second side is ok though. If is a good song, another folky one from Waters. Summer 68 is a bit clumsy sounding, no real direction, but it has a decent melody. Fat Old Sun is my favorite, a nice pleasant song about childhood with a ripping guitar solo from Mr. Gilmour. Yay. Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast is boring, 3 completly different parts once again making a big suite with no real substance. Oh well. Yet another mediocre Floyd album. However, it would take another year before things finally gelled.

Date undefined"Atom Heart Mother", i think is brilliant. It uses things that can't be found on any other Floyd album.
1. Atom Heart Mother: The Best song the album and PF's longest song ever (Not Considering Shine on you crazy Diamond Parts 1 & 2) Its amazing, it barely has any fillers
2. If, isnt that great. Its boring, really. Just Arpegios.
3. Summer of '68, OMG that song is amazing, the 2nd best song on the album horns guitar bass drums keyboard
