I'm a newcomer to the whole Pink Floyd party so I heard this whole album only a few years ago. I still like it - a definite second behind Animals. I love the gentle acoustic passage in "Goodbye Blue Skies" which is combined with this sinister sounding synth part. So cool. It's too bad most people are only familiar with "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)" because there's so much great music to be had here. A co-worker and I were once driving back home from a job and "Comfortably Numb" was on the stereo. When it ended my co-worker said, "It just doesn't get any better than that." True words if there ever were any. David Gilmore's solo in that song is amazing.

Useless Fact: Oh, I think this one is about Syd Barrett too.
