I could write two reviews of this album. Having bought it in the seventies under the influence of blotter and various like substances it actually scared the hell out of me a few times...lol.. so I could write the delusional, bordering on paranoid tripped out schitzophrenic review which back then we believed was a requirement for listening to Pink Floyd. However now living in the real world as opposed to the Syd Barrett(who of course is not on this album)world I can say there is nothing too horrific here. I even get a chuckle out of the "One of these days I am going to chop you into little pieces" line towards the end of of "One of these Days", which I consider along with "Echoes" the meat of the album. The four songs in between these two are pleasant tunes, with the exception of "Seamus" where the music is too low and the dogs too loud(my hound loves this tune) and yes is a little irritating. I really feel as though this album is deserving of 3.5 stars but with better Floyd available I give it the big three because hey why not these guys were capable of bigger and better and that was just coming up in the not to distant future.
