I really liked this album. It was Pink Floyds debut album and all the songs were written by Syd Barret which would explain how original they are. Some are upbeat and uplifting (the Gnome) and some are extremely bizarre like Pow R Toc H where Syd makes bird & animal noises noises during most of the song and Intersteller Overdrive is a 9 minutes of rock and cool sound effects, although it can get a little old after you've listened to it a couple of times.
If your a fan of Pink Floyd or just rock music in general you have to get Piper at the Gates of Dawn. I've got the UK release that has 11 songs, the US release only has 9 and doens't include Astronomy Domine (which is really good) and Bike. They substituted See Emily Play for those 2 songs in the US release but I've never listened to it.
Agree, disagree, comments?
