4 stars Definately the big evolutionary point in Floyd's career, Meddle is a fantastic album that introduces Pink Floyd's new sound that they just touched on with earlier albums.

The track most people will obviously recognize is Echoes, an epic, beautiful, and damn near perfect song. Its 24 minutes of bitter sweat melody that leads us down a road of haunting effects and universal wonder. An amazing song to stare at the stars to. Gilmour does a fantastic job with the guitar work and all parts are woven together beautifully.

The opener, One of These Days, is a bass-heavy space-rocker that is one of Pink Floyd's darkest songs, but definately one to blast on a good sound system, or with headphones.

A Pillow of Winds is almost the exact opposite of One of These Days, its a smooth beautiful track that never rises above a whisper, enticing second by second.

Fearless is the second best song on Meddle, its an epic track about fools doing stupid things. A great song that builds on itself to a strange last minute.

San Tropez, while being a great song, doesn't fit in very well. Its a lazy jazz, acoustic driven song with light-hearted lyrics and great form, it just doesn't quite fit in.

Seamus is a strange little blues/slide song that can get stuck in your head for a long time.... that is, unless, you listen to Echoes, during which you may be transported to the beyond....

a great Floyd album which signals the beginning of their greatest album releases.
