Re: More (album)

The problem with More is that it suffers from the "This doesn't sound a f***ing thing like Pink Floyd" syndrome...It's a departure from their style at the time (to say the least) and the style we've come to expect since...the songs are more straight-forward kinda rock tunes (especially Nile Song/Ibiza Bar, heh) rather than the lush sounds of, well, WYWH is the perfect example, I guess. As a first (or second, third, whatever) album from a different band, I think it would be well received (though I will agree that there are some really awful instrumentals on there...Up the Khyber comes to mind, as does Quicksilver...) but since it's nothing like the great albums of the '70s, or even ASoS and AHM, it tends not to be too well received in the Floyd community...well, that's my two cents, anyway.
