88.57* Side 1 (first 4 songs) on this is close to perfection. Bit disappointed with the title track but as a whole this is the ultimate psychedelic album. Cementing Floyd as unique game makers. Fucking gold.

88.181* 1967 was just the top year for the Beatles with both this plus Sgt Peppers being two of the greatest albums ever released. An amazing achievement. Hence why the Beatles are one of the greatest bands ever. EVER!!!!

81.64* Yet another Beatles album loaded with top class tracks. And they just kept getting better. Another example of why they are worthy of the label as one of the greatest bands ever. EVER!!!!

80.818* One of the most ultimate albums of all things psychedelic. Some true golden tracks on this. Scarecrow, Gnome, Bike, marvelous lyrics. I do think 'Interstellar Overdrive' is a tad overrated though. 11/25

80.08* This is noted as the first ever rock opera album to be released. One year before 'Tommy' that most people think holds that title. First few tracks set the tone, then it just keeps getting better. This is one that I think has a classic psychedelic sound to it. Great album Very stoked to have tracked down a physical copy.

80.00 Different sounding Deep Purple of course with Rod Evans on vocals. Could be mistaken for a completely different band. On saying that, it's still a great album. Bit more mellow than the rock beast they were to become. Few covers but I think they do them fine. More folk rock than the hard rock of MKII but still a worthy listen.
