"Made by pink floyd.... Doesn't that just tell you that it was going to be amazing and yes, it is, I'm a massive Pink floyd fan, especially Syd Barret, so my opinion may be bias but I consider it one if the best albums ever released despite the lack of attention it gets because of the impact of its younger brothers "dark side" and "the wall" .
