It's a more songbased Floyd album than any of the other releases surrounding it, but I think it's a real charmer. Admittedly, I had some real difficulties getting into it back when I first got it, but then again I was mostly into Animals and Atom Heart Mother at the time. I don't often use the word underrated, and I won't - don't worry....I will say this though, for a Floyd album released during their heyday, Obscured by Clouds does seem to be somewhat overlooked, and that is a shame imho.

Overlooked, definitely. I have to be honest I was not even aware of it until I joined this forum back in 2004. I was never a huge fan of pre Meddle Floyd anyway. The Barret stuff I found a little irritating, and when he left they seemed to be fumbling around in the dark for a while trying to find themselves.
