1967/ 1976
4 stars 'The Madcap Laughs' is the first solo album of Syd Barrett and the style is a mix between The Doors and Beatles with drops of Psychedelic Rock and Folk. And this is the best description of this album. For the rest the music not conquest me. Because Syd Barrett wrote good music but not perfect is the final result. That in this case is obvious.

In substance the humus that has invaded the mind of Syd is totally noticeable throughout the album. So the guitar parts are insane... The voice is insane... The music is insane... But the final result is an album that is really good but not really enjoyable.

I admit that 'The Madcap Laughs' is a magical album. But because this is a Syd Barrett album.

1967/ 1976 | 4/5 |
