'Atom Heart Mother' is a reasonable effort from the floyd. Atom Heart Mother is wierd but in a strange way quite good. However I think 24 minutes is too long for this tune. 6/10

If is a great folky ballad from Roger Waters that is easy listening and is a refreshing change from the usual harder more progressive rock that the floyd usually produce. 7/10

Summer of '68' is the best song on the album. I love Rick Wrights beautiful piano and the brass band elements of the tune. 9/10

'Fat Old Sun' by David Gilmour is good, a very lazy relaxing tune and a nice addition to the album. 8/10

Alans Psychadelic Breakfast is pretty poor but as its an early floyd album you have to understand and respect the experimentation and the whole concept of the song. 5/10

Atom Heart Mother is not up there with 'Wish You Were Here or Meddle' but you have to realise that they developed their brand of progressive rock by experimenting with albums like this. If you listen to floyd albums you can always notice that the album that proceeds the last always carrys an element from the last album, i.e. Meddle to Dark Side of the Moon or Animals to The Wall.

There is always continous development by Pink Floyd and this album represents part of that growth.

Overall Score 7/10.
