5 stars One of PF's best album. Everyone talks about the big top 4, including DSOTM, WYWH, Animals and The Wall, but I would replace The Wall by Meddle. I personally think that this is the album where the transition between their psychedelic debuts and the more ambient and "guitaresk" sound.

One Of These Days is an amazing intro, and I think they should open every show with it. The keyboards slowly brings us somewhere else, and then the violence of the guitar with its super special effets temperates us to a fast tempo so clear! It is very simple at the bass, but the structure is still pretty good: bass, then keyboards and guitar.

In the next four songs, we clearly recognize PF's Saucerful and AHM. Low beats, and a very funny pre-Echoes doggy song..........

Then, the piece of the album. If I had two songs of PF to listen, the first would be Shine On, and the second, Echoes. I assure every PF fan that these are the best vocals of every song on every album.... So amazing! Those three voices at the same time singing about moutains and wind... And the guitar riff that highs the song to a level that they hadn't achieve yet... The song goes up, then very down, and come back to end the same way it began... One lucky chance they put that song on their greatest hits...
