It’s like Wright was playing lots of notes and thinking that people would like it because it’s weird. It gets some good parts, but I can’t feel anything from it. Finally comes the vinyl’s Part IV(at 9:41 of the whole Sysyphus song) which started off scaring me and promising a lot and then nothing.

Now comes Part IV(CD too) with its simple notes that again have no meaning whatsoever. what the actual ***? The worst part of Sysyphus, with random notes playing and some distorted gibbering from Wright. Then Part III(again, the CD one) starts and. until Wright decides to start playing random, non-related, senseless notes. When Part II(The CD one) starts it doesn’t have anything to do with Part I. yeah, it doesn’t have a meaning after all. Anyways, Sysyphus starts promising, with a great intro but that can only deliver if it has a meaning and. It was one of the first few Floyd songs(besides Another Brick In The Wall) I listened to and it put me off for about a year until I finally took courage and listened to Pink Floyd again. After the drum tape loops end the song is saved by the organs Wright play and then gets progressively better until the guitar starts again and it becomes just pure awesomeness until the end of the song. It starts simple and proceeds into a drum tape loop with overly distorted guitars.

Ummagumma feels like its “first part”(until the drum tape loop ends). Saucerful is a meaningful song in Pink Floyd’s history. It is quite different than the original one, but I qualify it as a little worse. Again, the song is notably more progressive-ish than the original album version, with a quiet middle part. One of the few songs where the percussion stands out, the percussion and the organ are main pieces. The lyrics are simple yet meaningful and fit well within the melody. In my opinion, one of the best Floyd songs. Ġ3 - Set The Controls For The Heart For The Sun A good piece, but is just too progressive for what it gives us(which is about 2 minutes of relatively loud music). The percussion is cool, but just doesn’t stand out. Not to mention the amazing bassline and the accompanying organ. It starts a little off but it definitely impresses me after Waters’ shout when the guitar starts. Well, thanks to the progressiveness of this version of the song it also becomes calming at times, which is wonderful in an album that will be soon followed with agressive, haunting sounds. Gimour’s vocals don’t disappoint in relation to Syd’s, too. The original psychedelic/space rock only song now becomes a mix with a progressive-ish feel(notice the instrumental part at the middle of the song?) and it just makes this an awesome version of the song. What can I say? Astronomy Domine just can’t go wrong. I would give a poorer rating if it was just the studio and a higher one for just the live, but I just found an in-between score. However, the live one is great.įirst I’m going to say that I love the live album but I don’t like the studio one. Review Summary: It's an album(the studio one) that Pink Floyd decided to never do again and that was a good thing.
