I am a huge fan of the Floyd, they're my favorite band, but I had trouble dealing with Syd. I found his lyrics to be odd and tedious and lacking meaning. The album had no flow, the songs didn't blend, it had no direction. I actually found myself waiting for the album to end. Syd's singing lacks melody and his guitar playing is no match for Gilmours. This album was a valuable stepping stone, but nothing more.
