4 stars I'm assigning this album is a "4" because, where it lacks consistency, it fully reimburses us with originality. Rather than plod through, rating each individual song as is sometimes the custom, I am to give this work an overall boost by any means necessary: the current low overall rating in the 2's is unfair, misaligned, and needs fixing. That is, this work must get a boost from someone, somehow.

"Cuts Like a Diamond" and "Seems We Were Dreaming" carry the day all by themselves. Here I did a similar thing with albums such as Apricity (a few spectacular original songs); and Glass Hammer's "If the Sun" (probably the least original but nevertheless spectacular. A part simply overwhelms the whole.

As the story goes, Wright was bullied, otherwise he would have been even more prolific. Wright was 25% of Pink Floyd. Is there more to say?

If you feel this review lacks depth, let me know and I'll try to explain why the few gems are five-star gems by updating the same gems which I think can be done exactly once. Otherwise, if you like Floyd, buy it!!! The full weight of it can be heard in vinyl! Crank up those two vinyl tunes and see what I mean!
