Arrow Obscured By Clouds
I finally got the chance to sit down and listen to the whole of OBC today properly without distractions, and i think it, as an album, has a very good sound. The title track, the start of the album has a gritty and harsh sound to it, unlike any of the PF albums previous to it. The guitar solos are crisp and clean and the keyboards hold a lot of presence. The Drums are simple, yet effective.

In my opinion it is probably quite under-rated and seems to me as a great starting point for albums such as Meddle, Animals and SOYCD from Wish You Were Here.

What do you guys think?


PS> i've corrected my mistake, what about ur opinions on OBC?

It took me a long time to appreciate this album High Hopes. But now I really like it, especially "Childhood's End" and "Wots.. Uh The Deal". Can't forget Roger's "Free Four" also. But what I really didn't appreciate before but do now are the instrumentals. I really like the first couple of tracks along with "Mudmen". They're really relaxing and nicely done instrumentals. Only thing I'd change about this album is the tribal chanting at the end of "Absolutely Curtains".

It's probably because you've said it a hundred times.

I didn't say I hated it. I wish it didn't go on for as long as it does. Know what I mean?

I also think Obscured by Clouds is a wonderful album. It is very under rated. A few of the songs are not that great, but Mudmen makes up for it. Mudmen should have been on Echoes if you ask me.
