Mudmen is a top 5 PF track for me, I'm not joking. It's usually my go-to. It's perfect.

Mudmen. Childhood's End would be my second choice followed by Obscured by Clouds/When You're In.

"Obscured By Clouds", which I always thought was comparable to "One of These Days" from Meddle.

Wots...Uh the Deal --- when I can't think of a song to play, this is one of my go-to songs.. Puts me in a better mood.

I also love "Stay"

I've actually come back around to this band and i've been really digging most of this record. I love the opener, almost gives me a bit of a Krautrock/Neu! feel. Mudmen and Absolute Curtains are great as well as of course Wats Uh The Deal. I'll have to relisten and think about it.

It's between Free Four and Childhood's End for me. Voted for Free four, to give it some love.

Childhood's End. I love the acoustic guitar strumming fading in just before the drums kick in.

All tracks are good, but Stay has always been my favourite. The title track is second.

Not the album I was expecting as a follow up to 'Meddle' but I like the title song, 'Obscured By Clouds'.

All in all an excellent album, often overlooked. My vote goes to Wot's... Uh The Deal, lovely tune, great title.

I understand it was cooked up at the legendary Château d'Hérouville in around 6 weeks which was absolutely breakneck speed by Floydian standards!

Underrated album with several excellent tracks.  The last of Floyd before they polished every note.  Going with Mudmen

For me, it's between 'Burning Bridges', and the reprise later, 'Mudmen', that really are sort of the same song; one with lyrics and the other instrumental w/ great and expressive guitar.

Did a listen..

Burning Bridges it is.
