Broken China Review by Gary Hill For Pink Floyd afficianados, this disc is a must have. Wright`s writing style, in the moody sort of Floyd mode, makes it quite obvious what band he is from.

Pink Floyd - Animals Review by Gary Hill I know a lot of people really focus on Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, and possibly Wish You Were Here as the highpoints of Pink Floyd's career. Personally, I will take Animals over any of those discs, although I appreciate all of those, as well.

The various members of Pink Floyd all basically said that they regretted this album. I can sort of see why. It has a real wandering kind of feel to it.
This is a well known performance of a show Pink Floyd did back in 1971, which has been released before but now comes with a directors cut version of the show.
Pink Floyd - Meddle Review by Steve Alspach This album shows how well Pink Floyd was able to make the transition from experimental band to a song-based unit without losing any sense of musical adventure.

I can’t believe it has been 25 years since Pink Floyd last toured. The album they were promoting at the time was The Division Bell but they were also, in a way, promoting The Dark Side of the Moon by playing that record in its entirety.
This is sort of a mixed bag. Parts of it are quite good, while other aspects leave a lot to be desired. The best part of this is the lead up to the Dark Side of the Moon coverage.
Pink Floyd - The Division Bell Review by Gary Hill Many Roger Waters fans slagged A Momentary Lapse of Reason saying it wasn’t a “real Pink Floyd” album. Well, I just don’t understand the criticism of that disc as it really is one of the most consistent discs the band ever produced. More...
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut Review by Gary Hill This was the last Pink Floyd release to feature Roger Waters. In sequence it was the disc directly after The Wall. More...
Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn Review by Gary Hill While we were working to assemble this issue the word came out about the death of Pink Floyd founder (and famed recluse) Syd Barrett. It seemed appropriate, especially since one of the themes this time around was the 1960's, to have a look at the only full album Barrett created with the band.

Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (40th Anniversary Reissue) Review by Bill Knispel Pink Floyd in 1967 was a completely different musical beast than the band most people came to know and love in the 1970’s. Most of this was due to the genius (and insanity) of founder member Roger Keith (Syd) Barrett, the mastermind whose childlike innocence and penchant for psychedelic hook writing would rocket the band to the forefront of the British pop scene during the spring and summer of 1967.

I have to admit that while I'm not the most intense Pink Floyd Fan, watching this two disc set sure can help fill anyone in on what they've been missing.
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Review by Josh Turner In the commercial world, two albums from Pink Floyd were hugely successful. Unless you've been a castaway on a remote island for the past couple of decades, you'd know I was talking about Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall.
