THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN

pink floyd's debut album. pretty good album in my eyes. great tracks are astronomy domine, lucifer sam, flaming, interstellar overdrive and bike. if your a floyd fan you should definitely pick up this album. if your not a big floyd fan it may not be such a good idea to pick this album, even though the aformentioned songs are indeed very good. most of the songs sound thrown together (the scarecrow, pow r toc h, take up thy stethescope and walk). dont forget how stereo was just being released at the time of this album's release. the end of interstellar overdrive is very annoying as the speakers fade back and forth so fast that its hard to even make out the sound of the guitar. lots of editing is audibly evident, mostly in matilda mother. for these flaws i am unable to give this album a higher rating than the one chosen
