This album deserves more than one listen for me it wasn't a album I would like fully on the first listen but this album ages like wine and so does most of their albums. Hope you guys enjpyed leave and like and subscribe if you did!!! #PINKFLOYD

Finally got to repost this hopefully doesn’t get blocked if it does ill try try try again😤 but this album is really just one of those albums that u got to listen to more than once to really see how great it is.
@@EstebanAlvarez_ I always said that it was my birth in 67 that drove these artists to produce phenomenal stuff for when I was old enough to find it. It's my favorite time period for music, and I wasn't there. If reincarnation can have you pick the time to be born, I'd want to come back in 47, so I'd be old enough to see my favorite bands.
Syd Barrett wrote the most unique songs ever.
You can see how different the Beatles 3 minute artistic pop approach to music versus Pink Floyd heavy experimental psychedelic “freak out” music. The Floyd’s second album begins to show the change in style from the Barrett era. Try the albums in order of release to see the evolution of each band. For Pink Floyd there are 5 eras. Barrett 65-68, collective experimental 68-70, collective more commercial 71-77, Waters 77-85, Gilmour 1985-2014.
Yep, this and Sgt. Pepper's were recorded across the hall from each other at the same time at Abby Road, and the Beatles invited them in to observe them recording a track for a tune on that album!
Glad you got to this one. I'll just add that the lyric "And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes" was about Syd of course.
And the name of the song Flaming or to burn or sear - - "Yippee! You can't (s)hear me - but I can you." "(S)hear" explains the title. Here, with the glare of the chimes, Syd shares his paranoid concept of imaginary observers. The incredible drama taking place internally while simply lying there. Brilliant song. Mind burn.
Order of PF albums. Hope you do them all:
Piper
Saucerful of Secrets
More
Ummagumma
Atom Heart Mother
Meddle
Obscured By Clouds
DSOTM
WYWH
ANIMALS
WALL
FC
MLOR
DB
ER
They probably got fubared together after recording sessions.
I'm pretty sure Nick Mason recalls them hearing Lovely Rita
You have officially become my favorite reviewer/responder. It is 4:15 CST right now, so bedtime for me. After playoffs are over this will be my first watch. You are the real deal as this is a bit of a challenging piece of music. Kudos! You are the only person I know of who has responded to this album.
Glad to see you getting into some Pink Floyd before The Floyd. The Wall was my introduction at 13 years old. Then I bought some older stuff. Great stoner music. Lucifer Sam is a favorite. I used to have a Siamese cat that never left my side. They tend to latch on to one person and always want to be a part of what they're doing.
You're brave. Their old stuff is different. Wait until you hear (from their album Ummagumma) "Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict." It's 'REALLY crazy.
The entire Saucerful album is brilliant as well, contains some of my favorite songs.
Syd wrote most of the songs on this album, but had a huge mental breakdown that he never recovered from soon after. I think he's on one song on the next album "Saucerful of secrets". This album is definitely one of the most creative albums of all time.
I consider Saucerful one of PF best albums, and yes Syd was on Jugband Blues (the very last track).
next should be Saucerful of Secrets, then you can close off the Syd era. David firt appears on that album whilst they were briefly a 5 piece. Some really good stuff on Saucerful
Omg Syd Barrett the one and only his outfits were superb his voice was amazing so different thanks for reacting to this love 💕
Bro when Gnome came on i was dying😭😭😭😭😭
Bro this old content reaction is class🤣
putting up some vids today , Jony . Enjoyed them mate .
These times’ll never come back😭
Great video! One song I highly recommend is "See Emily Play", an early pink floyd single during the syd barrett era, really catchy too!
What you said @ 47:47 is so true about this and many albums and songs. Even movies for that matter. Good ones, ones favorites, whatever those are.
Great reaction and glad that you enjoyed it! Chapter 24 was my favorite too and it gave me a moment of clarity lol. I recommend Syd Barretts solo album The Madcap Laughs. Some songs were produced by David Gilmour and Roger Waters. I would describe it as intimate, fun, badass and charming. I actually prefer it to any pink floyd album.
I really enjoyed your reactions/analysis. This is a really unique album and never seems to get old. I've listened like a 100 times over the years since I found it and it NEVER gets played out.
It really is an experience and I feel lucky to know this rare diamond. You should really listen to this in MONO, that is the way it sounded in the 60's when it came out. Syd designed this music in mono and you get a whole different level of immersion when listening in that format.
Chapter 24 is based on the mystical book called "I Ching". Take up Thy Stethoscope is written is the one song mostly by Roger Waters but the lions share of the music is by Syd and also keyboardist Rick (to a lesser degree). They all had input and drummer Nick Mason should not be overlooked either. They all contributed their uniqueness.
It's one of the best albums I've ever heard and the best PF album imo. Most Pink Floyd fans don't even know about Piper or Syd for that matter. I feel richer having had a chance to discover this and I'm glad others enjoy it as much as I!
you should listen to their first singles that syd wrote (they didn't put it on this album tho) "see emily play" and "arnold lane", they sound more accessible i think :) i love your channel! take care
Lol I’m very impressed with your giving this album respect and good review cuz most ppl don’t go here with that open mind listening, they were ahead of their time and I love Syd Barrett’s creativity and this album is experimental and was what that time period was about. And especially with technology at that time with what they had to work with and how they had to create them sounds organically with only 8 tracks available. Another band that started that year and n California was called Captain Beefheart and his magic band which is where I’m guessing the Beatles got their sergeant peepers lonely hearts club band name from. Anyway all his albums are good and highly creative and their first album was called safe as milk that also came out in 1967 and I think is equally as good as Beatles and Floyd in a way and also Syd Barrera solo stuff is also interesting. But great review otherwise 🙏🏻
If you want psychedelia from America at the same time, you should try "The anthem of the Sun" by the Grateful Dead. A really different take on pyschadelia.
Jony, with your appearance, winning personality and open and enquiring mind I feel there's definitely a place for you on TV. Perhaps you should be sending in some show reels. If you make it you can mail me my 10% agent's fee.
Other great old ones are See Emily Play and Arnold Layne.
Always my favourite floyd album, still a shocking twisted beautiful mess adore Mr barrett his solo albums are also very unique yet more understated, also relics is a great collection of other recordings in the barrett era
The Early Years "Cambridge Station" set pretty much supplants "Relics".
One of the coolest thing ever was a three show series in Foxborough, and all three nights was the exact same set list. The sound was so close to the studio sound. They'd play to ques on stage, so the differences between the thee shows were subtle and unique. The second night a set piece was delayed and they never seemed to look up, but just stretched the song they were on a couple of moments, before transition right into the next song. Money was absolutely amazing all three nights. The light show was best the first night as it was a heavy mist, weather wise.
you should check out a compliation of their early stuff from the album Relics, more psychedelia.
Nick Mason, PF drummer, tours with Pre-DSOTM stuff in his 'Saucerful of Secrets' tour.
Try atom heart mother
"Apples and Oranges"..... one of the last songs recorded with Syd and probably my favorite from that era! Syd was basically just phased out right around that time as Dave Gilmour was brought in. They just kinda stopped telling Syd when they had a gig and Dave wasn't really sure what his role was at that point but eventually they figured it all out. Once Syd was gone though, he left a sorta vacuum as far as who was the front man now and who was gonna write any new songs. Rick Wright stepped up and did contribute some really great material during this transitional period.
Anyway..... "Apples and Oranges" .... definitely check it out! Cheers!
I'd recommend A Saucerful Of Secrets, it still has some of Syd's influence all over it, even though they were starting to branch into their own thing. Great shit like Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, Remember a Day, Saucerful of Secrets, Jugband Blues and many others. Very, very (spacey, mystical sometimes and interestingly and uniquely eerie, also Pink Floyd's usual deep immersion) good album.
Could you please react to the album "Can't Buy A Thrill" by Steely Dan?
Do more album reviews.
Try their album "A Saucerful of Secrets" next, it was made in 1968. Then maybe "More" (1969). Can't wait til you get to my favorite album of theirs, "Atom Heart Mother", it was made just before "Meddle". You can really hear how they transitioned to the later masterpieces.
Must listen is Roger Waters - amused to death album
This album was being recoded at the same time as Sgt Peppers and also the same studio. The Beatles was recording upstairs. For this album you really have to know a lot of background info to appreciate it. For its time it was extremely high-tech, experimental and unlike anything else. Pink Floyd started when LSD was just beginning to spread, but in those days you went to the venue if you wanted to try it (it was legal back then). With music, it makes you see colors, tracers, and all sorts of crazy things (but don't ever take it though).
Pink Floyd played live in a basement venue where people would trip on acid and watch the band play - so obviously, the band started making music for them. If you done acid you know why the album sounds the way it does. Pink Floyd live was like the first ever techno rave (that's why you hear long instrumentals in this album). What amazed everyone is Syd Barrett's ability to write pop-songs. So songs like Bike and other shorter songs surprised everyone. The sound effects was for people tripping at home.
So definitely check out "Syd Barrett - Wolfpack" maybe for a reaction, and see how good he was. Then check out his other albums. Many 10/10 songs.
NOTE: All these bands, the dudes are all trained musicians their whole lives and none of them really wanted to do psychedelic music, but had to because if the popularity.
man you should hear The Disivion Bells
So tragic what happened to Syd...can you imagine if he would have stayed around for Pink Floyds next 10 or so albums?
This album "Piper..." was recorded at Abbey Road studios, London, at the same time the Beatles were recording their "Sgt. Peppers" album and the two bands briefly crossed paths at the time.
I enjoyed this debut album of The Floyd, but the record left off some early singles that would've enhanced it. That said, without David Gilmour, Pink Floyd would never have progressed enough to rival Led Zeppelin and The Beatles as legends in rock history..
27:36 You are listening to it in mono. You need to listen in stereo mode to get the full effect.
It is the stereo mix....
@@psychedelicpiper999 No.
@@maximumoccupancy Look, it's clearly the stereo mix folded down and played back as mono due to his poor camera/audio equipment. In his headphones, he still would have heard stereo. "Astronomy Domine" is missing a vocal sound effect overdub. "Pow R Toc H" is missing a lot of vocal whoops. "Interstellar Overdrive" is missing the organ for the first minute of the track. The mono mix doesn't have any of that missing. It has far more effects and overdubs. I've been a fan of this album for well over a decade. I think I can tell the two mixes apart than most people.
@@psychedelicpiper999 If you look at 27:36, when the sound continually bounces back and forth from left to right channel, he doesn't even flinch or react to it, which anyone listening to it in stereo would have. It's possible to be listening to a stereo mix with sound toggled to mono mode on whatever device he was using to listen to it.
@@maximumoccupancy Most likely.
