If you're about to listen this album for the first time, and are not a huge PF fan yet, here's what might think about it (as I once did)

One of these Days (5/5): An amazing track, which anyone will get into upon first listening to it, the strumming bass guitars build up to the distorted vocal "One of these Days I'll cut you into little peices" and then explodes into one of the most awesome instrumental jams ever. Not moatter how old this sng becomes, it will never be outdated. One of the cool things about Pink Floyd

A Pillow of Winds (3/5): This piece will make you think "Is this the same band?". After the stunning opening track, this song just isn't that great. It's a fairly bluesy and mellow number that is in fact, quite boring.

Fearless (4/5): The catchy opening riff of this song will get your hopes back up agian, but still dosen't comapare to the opener. Definitly enjoyable. This song is almost flawless except for the annyoing stadium chanting at the end that contiues for over a minute

San Tropez (3.5/5): This song brings your hopes back down. A catchy, upbeat tune, but a little cheesy.

Seamus (2/5): This song doesn't help at all, four crummy lines of vocals followed by a dog barking for two minutes. Probably the worst PF song, unless you count "The Gnome" (sorry Syd fans, I just don't like it)

Echoes (10/5): Just when you've lost hope as the barking dog fades out of hearing range, youi gretted by the single-note PING! of the final track. The slow build up of guitars and drums leads to some pretty cool and abstract lyrics, followed by another awesome instrumental jam. While by far an epic track (23 + minutes), it is probably the best epic you will find in porg rock. And this track alone is enough to redeem the album.

this averages to 4.5/5, but since the opening and closing tracks makes you forget about "Seamus", I think it deserves a perfect 5 star rating
