This is early Pink Floyd not at their best, but working their way there. On this album Pink Floyd displays more of their psychedelic side as they no longer have Syd Barret. You can hear hints of what is to come in later albums through it. As I listened to it I noticed that some of the music is highly inspired and also quite the opposite. Some songs seem to have hopes for progression, and some do, but others just find themselves in a repeat with subtle changes and redundant endings... A bit of this album are mere fillers with no direction, but within this there are some notable tracks such as Green Is The Colour which I found as the most inspired on the album. The Main Theme being really solid as well. Other decent tracks include Up The Khyber as it is a decent experimental jazzy psychedelic song, and Ibiza Bar as it hints of what is to come in future albums: progression. All in all this is a great listen to any well rounded Pink Floyd fan, but if you are new to them check out Animals or Dark Side of the Moon. This album does the band no justice as they have no where nearly reached their prime yet.
Now here's some vintage Pink Floyd: Green is the Colour:
