Whenever I hear someone say "too long" or "embarrasing" when talking about a classic prog album such as PF's AHM I can only say the album is being over analyzed. The band got into a great groove so sit back, relax and enjoy the album.

Another thing I don't understand is this "musicianship" thing. "Between Piper and Meddle the band weren't very good players", "They were stumbling around". Are you freaking kidding me?!

Anyone who can play a song well has got to be a good musician, ain't it?

[vrooomuk]

@PhilistineTheArtLuvr Ummm... So I should stop making the videos then? I guess you like every song you hear, don't you?

[CalentureAU]

The one I've been waiting for! Thanks for this, Darren. Love your videos, and always interested to hear your thoughts on what is one of my favourite Pink Floyd albums. It was my first real Floyd record, so I will always have a deep love of it. "If" is pretty, if naiive, and "Summer '68" is a voice from Wright's future. The solo on 'Fat Old Sun' is one of Dave's greatest moments, but come on. Some love for APB, surely? "Morning Glory" is just gorgeous. Put it on as the sun rises on a Sunday.

@CalentureAU Plus you got the envious award of being name checked in the video's description for suggesting the review! Well done!

[PsyPhiRevolution]

Thanks, Darren! I literally laughed out loud when you referred to "Piper" as the Floyd "stumblin' around" ...

[PinkFloydFan95]

@vrooomuk Way ahead of you by 5months good sir :D.

and thats fantastic really looking forward to it !! :)

[PhilistineTheArtLuvr]

@vrooomuk I just happen to adore every note in this particular album. That's all. Please don't stop making videos because of what I said. The last thing I need is crowds of people chasing me down the street blaming me for depriving them of their most thoughtful reviewer on YouTube. Thank you!

[ballroom23]

It's not an amazing album but it's damn good. Perhaps the track "Embryo" would have made a good beginning to side two. Anyway the live BBC recordings from this period are fantastic. "fat old sun" stretched out to a 10 to 15 minute workout.

Great channel,

Josh.

Hello, I would like to buy the 1992 shine on box set, so can you make a review of this box? best regards

[DonStella95]

Nice review, Atom Heart Mother its a great album, i enjoyed all of it, the Suite, Summer 68 and Alans Psychedelic Breakfast are just three awesome prog/symphonic rock pieces..Good work Darren and keep doing this kind of stuff...
