yeah, More its a very good album, but i have to be honest, of course it isnt my Floyd favorite, i love Green is the Colour, but the whole album is pretty good ... Up the Khyber, The Nile Song, all are beautiful

I don't love that album, but I do think some of Floyd's best songs are present. Cymbaline is one of my favorites, especially live.

As far as I'm concerned there are only 3 good songs; 'Cirrus Minor', 'The Nile Song' and 'Cymbaline'. The rest is just hastily constructed filler in my opinion.

I like it alot. A deffinite transition album that is needed after the first two psycedelic/space albums.

Even A Spanish Piece is nice.

For me this is a weak album. Cymbaline is the highlight, and there are a couple of good melodies here and there, but nothing special. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike this tunes, but this album is certainly not at the same level of other hundreds of albums released in that year (1969). That was the year of "In the Court of the Crimson King"!!!

As a Spanish, I can say that the "Spanish Piece" is just a bad joke.

I'm not a big fan at all of ITCOTCK.

I think it's OK, but nothing special. It might grow on me, though..

A favourite of mine as well:

- Cymbaline
- The Nile Song (proto-Metal)
- Ibiza Bar (an underappreciated gem!)
- Green Is the Colour (Gilmour's first stylistic triumph, in the vein of 'Fat Old Sun, etc)
- and most importantly Cirrus Minor, which has one of the most surreal intros in progdom....

Yes there is lots of filler on this album, but it is a soundtrack after all! But the five songs mentioned above make it worth the purchase.
Marmalade...I like marmalade.

More is very good album. It contain few excellent songs (Cymbaline, Green is The Colour, Up The Khyber, Main Theme). My fav track is Cymbaline. It has great melody and ethereal mood. Love it.
I know what I like and I like what I know...
