I disagree completely. I like the Barrett compositions but, when I listen to them, it's obvious that they're over 40 years old. This one is timeless. There's nothing on this album that isn't at least outstanding. "One of These Days" hovers at (and just barely achieves) Godlike. None of the Barrett portfolio makes it to that height in 2011, though it was amazing and innovative in its time.
We all have our own opinions, obviously. I don't find this album "timeless" at all - it sounds exactly like the early 1970's - but that's not something negative. "Timeless" is a word which is almost as grossly overused (and thereby, meaningless) as "genius". Why "none of the Barrett portfolio" reaches your distinction of "Godlike" should have nothing to do with what year it was recorded or what year it is. |

this one tries in vain to sound like it was created by Syd Barrett, but unfortunately it isn´t, and this becomes clear from the very first second.
not very impressive, Mr. Waters :-(( I disagree completely. I like the Barrett compositions but, when I listen to them, it's obvious that they're over 40 years old. This one is timeless.

Comedy! Even as a huge PF fan, this is not a song i would have probably ever listened to more than a few times, if it weren't for that old LP format (you kids might have read about these in history)... anyway, it was too much trouble to skip songs so this got as much play time as songs i actually liked...
