WISH YOU WERE HERE

The album starts with "Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part I", which I consider the best PF song. It's so amazing how they can make the first 8 minutes so exciting even though it's repeating itself. Then comes the great vocals and it grows a bit to the end.

The second is also wonderful, "Welcome To The Machine" starts with some funny noises and grows with the exciting, kinda rough vocals. I love this song.

"Have A Cigar" is a poppish song, with some psychedelic effects. Some would say this is a weak song cause it's kinda catchy. Well I can't say anything bad about it. Amazing.

"Wish You Were Here" is the ballad here, vocals are awesome and the acoustic guitar is so beautiful. Some people tend to whine about this also, I can't say anything bad about it. It somewhat fills this album.

The album ends with the "Shine on Part II", it's more faster and jazzy than the first part. It's also damn good but not as good as the first part.

The album itself is a "tribute" to their former guitarist Syd Barrett, watch the lyrics. They're interesting (if you're a first-timer). Overall this album is a masterpiece. Not a single boring moment in it. Close to perfection.
