Free Music Notes for Barrett Album
Free Music Review: Good, But Mostly Just "Interesting".
Hit: 3 Stars
I count myself among those who believe that the Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd was their best incarnation; thus, I consider myself a Syd Barrett fan. But I must say that this album is not as good as many would have you believe. I think that Barrett's mystique carries a lot of weight in judging his music. Because he is so strange and fascinating people are more likely to inflate the quality of his music. This album is for the most part pretty mediocre. It is mainly just interesting to hear the last artistic statement of a man who would soon disappear from the world. On that level it is enjoyable, but musically, I suspect that if someone other than Barrett recorded the same tunes the reviews of this album would go down a star or two. Buy The first two Pink Floyd albums instead.
