What Are You Listening To?

[Jerome]

SYD BARRETT "the madcap laughs" 1970,vinyl....from the library!

sorry, but fans of Syd aint gonna like this one!
neither MH or I can figure out exactly why Syd has been lifted to God-like status....even though MH likes the early Floyd material??
MH only liked two off this one(tracks 3 and 6), but i did like four(tracks3,4,5,6)....the remainder we agree on 100%...boring and crap!
MH rates this one 1.2 and I 1.4.....no we dont copy eachothers marks, we take it in turn on each track to give first score!

WE DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

I am surprised you like ANY of the tracks. Syd had one or two good ideas right at the beginning of Floyd but that's about it. The rest is a shambles. Floyd only found their true sound when Gilmour stepped in and Waters took control of the writing duties.
