The album is almost perfect, except for some dull moments in 'Alan's'... so I rated 9.5/10, which in fact is 4.75 meaning 5 for the PA (in fact I gave it 5* in my review).

My favorite album along with Meddle.  I'm also very partial to this album, one of my first purchases ever.  So I give it a 10 out of 10.

For example: the introduction of AHM suite till the end of the organ move is absolutely marvelous.

Side 2 is better than one, besides its less considered. "If" isn't as ingenous because it anticipates the thematic of DSOTM; Summer 68 is the high point of the album, together with Fat Old Sun. I don't care about its stupid lyrics, but if you have the oportunity of hearing this piece alive in RoIOs like AHM goes on the road you'll change your opinion about this song (if it is negative, of course). And I like the final movement of Alan's Psychedelic breakfast. So, 7,5 - 8/10.

wow thats pretty much how i feel about the record

2/5 (so I vote 4/10)

AHM is an okay song, seems way too long but some parts are nice.  If and Fat Old Sun are boring songs (especially If!!).   Summer '68 is by far my favorite song on the album, and one of my favorites by PF.  Alan's Psychadelic Breakfast is rubbish.

'Summer 68' is the best song on that record!!!!!! 'If' is kind of boring though. Altogether though it's a good album. I'll give it 7

6/10 (or 3/5)

A good album, but highly flawed. Very slow and uneven, but it contains some really good moments too. Notably the title track.

OUT OF 10 WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ATOM HEART MOTHER BY PINK FLOYD?

I'M GOING TO GO WITH 9/10 BECAUSE 2 TRACKS FOR ME BRING IT DOWN A BIT WHICH ARE IF AND SUMMER '68 BY 0.5 AS THEY ARE'NT THAT BAD.
