Customer Reviews

Pink Floyd is amazing, but...

Don't get me wrong. I love Pink Floyd and every single album they have put out. But They are not meant to be listened to in a "greatest hits" type manner. Their albums are meant to be listened to as wholes and not as different single tracks. Sure the songs on here are great, but they're even better when they are with what is supposed to be around them. If you are getting into PF, this is a fine place to start though. But if you really want to get into them then get Wish You Were Here first, then DSOTM, then the Wall, then Animals. After that, choose whichever other Pink Floyd albums in any order. You will not be disappointed that way.

Individual pieces from different puzzles make not an album whole

Pink Floyd is the one band I can listen to for hours on end without once skipping a song b/c I don't want to hear it. They are they only band that I can listen to this way. Zeppelin comes close, but I do find myself occasionally hitting the "skip" button on a few songs here and there.

When listening to any album by Pink Floyd, it's like enveloping (in-VEL-uhp-ing) oneself into a seperate realm, that I can only guess many of you out there can relate to or at least understand what I'm trying to express here. Each album is in itself a seperate entity and provides a different atmosphere created solely by the make-up of the songs on that particular album, thus giving you a unique experience unlike anything else.

Of course I can still listen to a PF song by itself and still enjoy it, but I often find it hard to seperate the song from the album that it came from, or in other words, I see it as simply a single piece of what I know to be a larger whole. This is also true of Abbey Road by The Beatles... one song often just seems to be a piece of a much bigger work of music.

Being a serious fan (fanatic) of Pink Floyd's work, I have to say that I like the songs they've included on this album, but I see them simply as singular pieces taken from seperate puzzles (each creating a different picture) that have been strewn or scattered untididly over a surface or area, failing to paint a complete picture and unable to provide what I'll call the "experience" of listening to an entire Pink Floyd album in it's entirety from beginning to end.

With that being said, I can't rate this album any less than 4 stars because it does have some great songs on it, but I feel that Pink Floyd's music is meant to be more of an "experience," and with this album, it may be a fine introduction to some of Pink Floyd's work for those who haven't heard much of their music, but I find it lacking what I enjoy most about Pink Floyd's albums.... a unique experience from my imagination going beyond most normal or physical human experiences.

Finally, I have to confess I won't be buying this album because I already have all of the music that is on it. This is a good selection of Pink Floyd songs, but it lacks the experience that I normally derive when listening to Pink Floyd's music as I have described above. Overall however, it's a decent selection of some of Pink Floyd's best songs.

Missing out

I agree with what another user posted. I love Pink Floyd and there are some great songs on here. However your missing out on the genuine experience of listening to the albums as a whole. For instance to listen to songs like"Money" and "Brain Damage" without having owned Dark Side of the Moon wouldn't be right. Albums like that need to be listened to as a whole to truly appreciate them.

Biography

Formed: 1965 in London, England

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s

Pink Floyd is the premier space rock band. Since the mid-'60s, their music relentlessly tinkered with electronics and all manner of special effects to push pop formats to their outer limits. At the same time they wrestled with lyrical themes and concepts of such massive scale that their music has taken on almost classical, operatic quality in both sound and words. Despite their astral image, the group was brought down to earth in the '80s by decidedly mundane power struggles over leadership and,...
