Never thought this would end up being one of my favorite album of all time. Still, It's so damn perfect though?!? An album with ten amazing tracks without a single low. And the flow is without question superb, no wonder they went crazy in the studio while making the album, Tom has stated a few years ago in a few interviews. It will go down to the history of music, and deserves all it praise it has gotten since the loud release, over ten years ago! [First added to this chart: 01/06/2018]

This is probably my favorite Pink Floyd album. "Shine on You Crazy Diamond, pts. 1-5" is a great song, probably one of Floyd's best. All the songs on the album are great and truly amazing, and the record is definitely worth getting. The flow is also superb throughout the record. [First added to this chart: 01/06/2018]

As far as rock music swan songs go, this might be the best there's ever been. From the iconic opening bass line of "Come Together" to the ambitious Side 2 medley to the solemnity-subverting "Her Majesty," the entire album is an unqualified triumph. The medley on Abbey Road always gives me goosebumps and gives me that a feeling of pure joy that no album ever since has. A true masterpiece and and of course a classic album! It definitely deserves it's praise! [First added to this chart: 01/06/2018]

Amazing album, perfect flow and truly amazing songs, tear inducing nonetheless. This is what the band wanted their debut to sound like, and they got it here. [First added to this chart: 01/06/2018]
