The Punk Meets The Goth-Father! Delicious Dreamy Zaniness Follows! Like the Kate Bush album, the words Dreamy and Macabre apply to The Cure and to this album in particular. The Cure – The Head On The Door (1985) After spending the first part of his career in The Cure showing up Ian Curtis as a [...]

Fiercely Independent Chanteuse Told To Come Up With A Hit! Chanteuse Responds With Nightmare Concept Album! With Kate Bush’s squeeky helium voice already a thing of the past, her voice now more mature sounding, stronger, sensual, her first self produced album The Dreaming made it to number 3 but for some reason it confused the [...]

I was reading some reviews on this one on Amazon and found that this album was either loved or hated. Probably the least accessable Pink Floyd album, it’s difficult to say whether it’s any good or not, so it comes down to whether or not you like the noises on it. This is the first [...]

Try to imagine waiting for the next Pink Floyd album. There was no Dark Side… or The Wall. It was just Piper, Saucerful,More and Ummagumma. Would you have even been their fan if that’s all there was? Pink Floyd were still in search of their big direction. Their way of making a mark in musical [...]

So! Where are we? The Important Albums series is basically albums that are important to me because they’re my favorites or I think they’re over looked or whatever, but it also just happens that some of them are actually culturally important too. Just that maybe you never heard of them or you forgot about them [...]

Is it a Roger Waters solo album or a Pink Floyd album? Let’s, for a while, try to divorce the album itself from the bad feelings around it’s creation. It’s hard, for me at least, to discuss the final cut without also mentioning The Wall and The Pros And Cons Of Hitch-hiking. A lot of [...]

OK. The Sex Pistols and The Clash and all railing against the “system” is fine but those “statements” feel like grade school mumblings compared to the vitriol and hate for the system on this contemporary album! Pink Floyd – Animals (1977) This album is better known than the other ones I’ve mentioned before but STILL, [...]

Take 1 part Dark Side Of The Moon, stir in 2 parts Meddle, and you pretty much have Obscured By Clouds. Well, my work is done! Pink Floyd had been touring and playing Dark Side of The Moon in it’s entirety as early as spring of ’72. More than a year before its eventual release. [...]

Cashing In On The Lucrative Rock’n’Roll Revival Of The Mid ’70s. Non Musicians Make Good And Remain Stunningly Unfamous! Known only as Mr. Eyeball 1, Mr. Eyeball 2, Mr. Eyeball 3 and Mr. Skull, these guys got together to create music despite having NO musical ability. Not much is known about these guys because they [...]

Another bloody review for an OLD album! Did you catch the recent Marvin Marks review for The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn? I think it’s a pretty solid fact that Pink Floyd were at their most adventurous and experimental, on record, between 1967 – 1970. There are also some awesome recordings of Pink Floyd [...]
