 Obscured by Clouds is amazing Just bought OBC and The Final Cut yesterday. OBC is absolutely amazing. It has barely left my CD player since I got it home. I just played it for the 6th time since yesterday and love it. The synth, the bass work on this album is incredible. And there's not really a single weak track on the album, with the exception of the end of "Absolutely Curtains" but, most of that song too is great. Amazing. Childhood's end is like a dry run for Time, and Stay is great with Rick on vocals. Why didn't Rick ever sing on the later albums? He has a wonderful Floydian voice! The title track is powerful, burning bridges beautiful, Free Four entertaining despite the cynical lyrics. Certainly one of the best Floyd albums. Dare I say, almost as good as DSOTM. I was disappointed in TFC though. About 4 songs on that one that I like but I only play it now for Not Now John. The rest of the album....meh, a few good points. Not many.

| Re: Obscured by Clouds is amazing OBC is wonderful. It ranks higher than Dark Side on my personal Floyd album rankings(its in my top 4). I love the whole album. I don't have The Final Cut yet.

| Re: Obscured by Clouds is amazing Mudmen is great too, and yeah Childhoods End is very much like time. The only track i dont like its Free Four. Lyrics on it are too pessimistic in a cheerful tone, i dont like it. |

| Re: Obscured by Clouds is amazing I used to think it was great. Listen to it a few too many times and you'll hate it too.

The two albums are really poles apart in the context of Floyd's production.

| Re: Obscured by Clouds is amazing Hmmm...I've been taking somewhat of a break from the Floyd the last month or so, listening to them a couple times since then. Today I felt compelled to give OBC a listen...I have no idea why. At first, I wasn't very impressed by OBC. It didn't seem very remarkable or unique, but it's grown on me considerably since then. I think it's really great when you want some Floyd, but you don't want something too intense. It may not be extremely innovative or anything, but is still highly enjoyable.

| Re: Obscured by Clouds is amazing Oh, and you need to give TFC a chance. It's obviously very different from their early 70s work (like OBC), but good in its own respect. Don't worry about breaking it in now, just enjoy OBC. I find trying to break in several new albums at the same time (especially when it's Floyd) can lead to unwanted side effects...
