WISH YOU WERE HERE

This is an "Excellent Aquisiton To Any Prog Collection". Can it be considered a masterpiece ? Of course it can, many reviewer chooses exactly this status. But here I set its quality as a four, not five stars. Let me tell you why this was the choice :

1 ? The main reason is that all of a sudden I found myself not hearing it for many years long (yes I am an old rocker, closer to the 60 than to the 50...). It was a surprise to me; I never stopped hearing "Atom Heart Mother", "Meddle" or the less known "Obscured By Clouds". In the moment of that perception I got to understand what people mean when they say "this album didn´t age well". It is a excellent follow up to "Dark Side Of The Moon", maybe is even better, but at some point I started to loose interest on it

2 ? "Atom Heart Mother" and "Meddle" were ALWAYS my preferred ones. So, downgrading "Wish You Were Here" is like a kind of recognizing those as my favorite ones. It does not mean that I love WYWH but... well, I LOVED once Wish You Were Here... If in this site there could be a punctuation 9/10, that would be may grading. There is not, so WYWH is a 4,5 stars rounded to 4?
