THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN

Disastrous debut. The supposed highlights Astronomy Domine and Interstellar Overdrive never impressed me. They're not entirely bad but aren't good either, just bland music. The rest of the album is awful. Poor lyrics, irritating voice and similar songs that bore me to death. Uninspired, dissapointing and misleading. The amount of acid the boys took must have blinded their senses and blocked their musical taste. Syd Barrett was no genious in my conception. I always thought of him as walking cocaine but The Piper... is poor even when judged with Barrett patterns. This is no Floyd. This is no good.
