This is where their pattern of writing two or three good songs and then filling out the rest of the record with some really long stuff begins.

not comparable to their Classics(No offence)

I actually really enjoyed this... the psychedelic side of things only got a bit annoying on the breakfast song. It was cool at first, but then... well got annoying :). Other than that very solid album.

New Listen: Atom Heart Mother Suite is amazing.

Ok.

Rating this album I discovered that I like it more than I thought. None of the songs is particularly great, but the album keeps its style and mood from beginning to end and that characteristic is what I look for in records. The use of the orchestra is interesting but a bit too pretentious, but altogether, the album is quite listenable. Not great but solid.

Underappreciated album by many, including Floyd themselves. “Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast” gets a bad rap; it’s a pretty mood piece. The rest of Side 2 is solid Floyd, especially “Fat Old Sun.” But the title suite is the highlight—possibly my favorite piece of music—dramatic, powerful, jarring and touching, all at once. There’s a horn-section countering beautiful melody lines, a chilling choir interlude, some amazing slide guitar from Gilmour, some electronic wizardry from Wright, and nice support from the rhythm section of Waters and Mason. An acquired taste, to be sure, but worth looking into.

I much prefer the middle portion of this record.

Very underrated IMHO.
