What is there to say? This album is a must. It is also one of the few albums which I really wish was longer. I truly love this album. There is always a bit of disappointment when this album ends. And for me, that is the ultimate compliment.

The open track, SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND, PART ONE, is perfect. Wright's synths, Gilmour's guitar are wonderful on this piece. Waters lyrics are also great on this album. Who else would bite the hand that feeds them but Water's in HAVE A CIGAR?

The packaging was also great. The original album was a wrapped in an opaque dark blue plastic wrap with a cool sticker on in. When you ripped off the wrapper off, you were confronted by the classic picture and cover by Hipgnosis. This album had everything you could want from an album.

Dark Side of the Moon was a hard album to follow up, but IMHO, Wish You Were Here surpassed it predecessor.
