ATOM HEART MOTHER

I have many friends that listen to Pink Floyd that have never heard of this album. I actually have one friend that would not buy it simply because of the COVER! Although this is not Floyd at their best, it is still a fantastic buy and a must for a true Floyd fan. The title track is amazing in its ability to switch between a brass ensemble and David Gilmour on guitar. The shorter songs on the album are nice to listen to, but I never put the album in just to listen to those few songs. Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast is interesting, but gets too much hype from floyd fans. The sound effects are cool, but the actual music is very boring and does not impress me enough to listen to all twelve minutes.

All in all, bcause the title track is so powerful and unlike anything else I've ever heard, I give it a four star rating. Anyone that thinks of him or herself as a Floyd fan needs to own a copy of this album.
