Used to be an annoying album from their early period, now it's my absolute favorite. Syd Barrett was indeed a genius.

Still sounds like nothing else. A thrilling, often unpredictable, but no less amazing psych rock record. And while Pink Floyd would go on to make one gargantuan prog rock masterpiece after another, there's a spark and intensity here that they lose along the way. Still, I'm glad we got this version of the band for a minute.
