5 stars Surely not inferior to "Dark side of the moon" - sometimes "Wish you were here" is superior, more "progressive" like Meddle's "Echoes" i.e. Shine on you crazy diamond!. This is the last piece of an incredible trilogy, musicaly not very far of Dark side . But the spirit have changed - Roger Water is more and more dominant.His lyrics - VERY well written ! - are, sometimes, far away of Pink floyd's psychedelics origins. This is a rupture annoucing the powerful "animals". the tone is more agressive except Shine on you crazy diamond" and "Wish you were here", late but VERY astonishing homage to Syd Barrett...a friendly ghost of past years hauting this album like he wanted to say good-bye...for the last time? I strongly recommend this album but maybe we should listen to this record after Meddle and Dark side...(respect the trilogy!)
