3 stars Another movie soundtrack, this one better than "More" as it flows nicely, but still not a whole lot better.

This album show more direction as there seems to be a common musical theme amongst all the songs while still keeping each song different from the last.

"Obscured by Clouds" opens the album a nice instrumental which brings in drums at the end, opening up another, heavier version of the title track "When You'[re in"

"Fearless" is a classic PF song, slightly ironic as the lyrics abotu death and growing old are played amongest a catchy, upbeat tune

"Childhood's End" sounds quite a bit like "Time", but this song was first, so I can't criticize. Still an excellent piece

"Wots...The Deal" not sure what that means, but a nice, soothing tune

"the Gold is in the..." in the what? I don't know, but it's a decent song, some cool riffs

"Mudmen" and "Absolutley Curtains" are a bit dull, both instrumentals, though the latter has some annoying vocals that go on for too long

This album is not a nescessary piece or even as part of thier transition (As Meddle and DSOTM) came repectivly before and after it. A good album. Three stars.
