I love this album. Pink Floyd had been tweaking their strange sounds for some time and came up with this album as the precursor to Dark Side of the Moon.
The sound of this album soars and swells. The final track, "Echoes", is over 23 minutes long and illustrates the style that the Floyd is evolving into. If you listen to this track, you will hear the foundation of what is to become Dark Side of the Moon.
Two other tracks seem to be thrown in to make you scratch your head. They are in sharp contrast to the sound of the other tracks. "San Tropez" is a great lounge/jazz song and "Seamus" is a bluesy song that incorporates a howling dog as a backround singer. It is pretty funny.
This, like many Floyd albums, is one of those "sit in a dark room and listen at a loud volume" albums and it is one of my favorites in my collection.
