Following up Dark Side Of The Moon is no easy task but they didnt come far away from eclipsing it with this record. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is the highlight. Id recommend listening to it with a set of headphones to pick up all the layers of sound.

Wish You Were Here is one of the best songs written. Have A Cigar... I want to like, but I just don't. The rest is pretty good.

The same old fears. Many bands could have wrote this one. Fan of Pink Floyd? The magic will be here for you.

Welcome to the Machine, Have a Cigar, and Wish You Were Here are three amazing tracks.

Might be good for new listeners, since it doesn't have a lot of tracks to learn.
