A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS

The only really good things about this album are that it is marginally more listenable than its predecessor and that it marks the end of Syd Barrett in the band. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and See Saw give glimpses of what was to come, but suffice it to say that I've had this album for 35 years and have only played it half a dozen times. I tried to listen to it for this review but just couldn't face it all and gave up halfway through. How did they ever survive such awful debut albums to become the geniuses they later were?
