ATOM HEART MOTHER

I listened to this album shortly after I bought Meddle, and while finding it inferior, that fact it came before Meddle, basically meant what they failed to accomplish here, would shouw up in thier next album, for that I think this is a great album

Atom Heart Mother Suite (4.5/5): A great prog epic (nowhere close to the perfection of "Echoes". Whiole the first three minutes are fairly awkward, as are a couple sequences of odd chanting, the rest is an amazing compostion of instrumental music, the climatic buildup at the end is awesome

If (5/5): My favorite song on the album, and contians a few things in the lyrics that forshadow "The Wall". An excellent number

Summer '68 (3/5): While many consider this a good song, I don't like it as much, to repetitive and not as good as Wright's other early so credits (Paintbox, is his best)

Fat Old Sun (5/5): A cool song with some great guitar work. I prefer the extended versions of this song that was played in the early concert (availble on many ROIOs)

Alan's Psychedlic Breakfast (4/5): Probably the oddest thing I have heard, and the instrumental sections are totally random. I genrally don't like this song, but simply for the fact they put the sound of a frying egg in it because tghey could, it desrves a good grade

5/5
