A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS

Could have been so much better if a couple of the tracks here were cut. "Jugband Blues" for example is a song I never really enjoyed, and it seems heavily out of place on this album. It may be Syd Barret's last song recorded with PF, still I can't find anything truly enjoyable with it. "Corporal Clegg" and "See Saw" are two decent songs, but the rest is top-notch stuff. Remarkably the title track, which is an avant-garde favorite of mine. It's the albums climax, in my opinion, and easily one of PF's best tracks. The album suffers from horrible production though, sounding very sloppy and amateur-ish, which drags on this album very much, meriting only 3 stars to me. It would have received much higher rating from me if it had better production and a couple of better songs, preferly in the album's title track vein.
