I want to give this album 5 stars, but for some reason I just can't. This is a great album, but it just isn't quite as classic as Pink Floyd's later output. So, on to to the songs. "One of These Days" is a very driving fast song. I'm not sure what kind of song it would be called, but it is very good. The main instrument in this song is a bass, but there were actually two basses being played for some times, but there were some keyboard and guitar harmonics. But the bass is the most powerful instrument in this song. It is a very good song. "A Pillow of Winds" is a nice acoustic song written by the drummer Nick Mason. It is a nice song and is very melodious and pretty. I think it is the weakest song on the album, but it is still very good. "Fearless" is my favorite song on the A-side of this album. The riff played by Waters on the guitar is amazing and gets stuck in my head very easily. I love the lyrics and Gilmour's vocals are amazing. "San Tropez" is a very good beach song with relaxing piano and vocals. I love the imagery created from the lyrics and the music. Wherever San Tropez is, it sounds like a great tropical place. "Seamus" is a pure blues output. I love the idea of the dog singing along with the music and the blues tune is very catchy.

Echoes. What else is there to say. From the beginning B to the end, this song is amazing. I love the atmosphere that Wright creates with his keyboards and Gilmour's bluesy guitar. Also the lyrics and vocals are just amazing. I don't know exactly what the words mean, but I can almost feel what they mean. Sort of. I can't describe it without sounding insane so I'll just say I love the words and vocals. I love the instrumental part towards the middle of the song. Waters' bass just drives right through while Gilmour plays the guitar alongside of it, and after an instrumental build, it is back to the final chorus. Quite possibly my favorite song by Pink Floyd.
