Wonderfully insane, though I prefer their 70s stuff. _________________ One thing I can tell you is you've got to be free

To me, it is a great exclamation of wonder. Just listen to how earnestly Syd sings, "A movement is accomplished in six stages...etc." in Chapter 24. It's as if he had just finished reading the I-Ching and leaps up to go recite what he had just read, like he is flaunting a new toy. In Astronomy Domine, he conveys the wonder and terror of the firmament, as if he had just been stargazing and suddenly felt so very small, and then went to go recreate that in song form. In Scarecrow, it is as if just saw a scarecrow in a field when passing by in his car and fell into reverie. In Bike, it completely describes the enthusiasm of the beginnings of love. There is an overwelming eagerness, and excitement for life which is much too rare in music, and in people in general. Cynical people will doubtfully enjoy this album, and will probably scoff at the childishness of it...But what is wrong with childishness?
And I've only covered the lyrics of the album, but I can assure you the instruments convey the same wonder. Interstellar Overdrive is a wonderfest of what instruments can do. Wonder, wonder, wonder. Meow. |
Spot on.

I don't really like Sid''s vocals.
I prefer later Floyd.

Not as good as DSOTM, but way ahead of anything else they've done. It took a while to click with me, but once it finally did...boy howdy. It takes the right frame of mind, for sure, and it's not for everybody, but to say this album is anything less than wildly imaginative is just silly.

Infinitely better than the vast majority of what came afterwards.

One of my favourite ever albums (#3 on my chart), and it's one of my favourite from the genre I like the most - psychedelic rock.
My favourite Pink Floyd album, it is just wonderfully insane. The creativity of the songs were way of its time.

My favorite Floyd record, full of creative pop songs and interesting experiments. It's possibly the nearest psychedelic rock has gotten to perfection in fact.
