Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

Pros: Excellent instrumental and lyrics
Cons: nada

Generally, there is always a story behind a song. Words are often written in direct relation to a singers own experiences, fears, thoughts and emotions. The general public is normally unaware of any particular meanings, and therefore usually lose...

Pros: An amazing tribute to an ailing comrade
Cons: none come to mind

One of the seminal groups in rock history would have to be Pink Floyd. This British group has released some of the most amazing albums in rock history. They have always displayed a lyrical intensity and musical ingenuity to surprise and ...

Pros: Atmoshperes engrossing, great guitar noodles
Cons: Somewhat too depressing, melodies aren't always great

Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

Pros: Pink Floyd at the height of their game and everything that entails.
Cons: Some weakish moments.

After the seemingly limitless success of Dark Side of the Moon, the once little known Pink Floyd found themselves very much in the public eye so expectations for a follow up were obviously, to say the least, intimidating. A band that had until ...

Pros: One of Floyd's absolute BEST concept albums produced !
Cons: Unfortunately, Waters created most of the lyrics, still the BEST !

In 1975 a remarkable approach to digitized sensationalism was brought to the forefront of rock n roll concept album-ology: Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here”. It was released September 15th 1975 but it took more than six months in ...

Pros: Beautiful music, meaningful lyrics, most other things
Cons: Which part of masterpiece don't you understand?

This is my second Pink Floyd review, as my loyal fanbase (I wish) will know. My first was of The Wall, Pink Floyd's masterpiece (and before all the Pink Floyd-nuts tear me limb from limb, I do like Dark Side of the Moon as well). Reviewing this track by ...

Pros: Perfectly crisp and clear production, and just Floyd's finest moment.
Cons: Absolutely nothing; the album is flawless.

Well, after a little bit of thought, I consider this my favourite Floyd album. It is more diverse than the other albums, and none of the five songs is similar to another; with the exception of Shine On You Crazy Diamond Chapters 1 and 2. Anyway; the ...

Pros: David Gilmour's guitar solos and riffs, Richard Wright's keyboard solos, Roger Waters' lyrics/bass lines.....EVERYTHING!!!
Cons: How can there be any?

Before I begin, I am going to start updating my old Epinions since they were pathetic. So here is the first of my new updated Epinions and I hope you enjoy it.

Wish You Were Here is undoubtedly one of, if not, the best Pink...

Pros: Everything
Cons: NOTHING

In 1975 Pink Floyd were house hold names and enjoying world wide success for their first time in their almost decade long career with their album Darkside Of The Moon that would go on to be one of the best selling albums of all time. ...

Pros: Long on moody dreamscapes, first rate musicianship, wonderful lyrics
Cons: Might take a little longer to appreciate as it is short on accessible songs

I certainly do. I was 12 years old when I first heard this album. It was a school field trip...I can't remember where we went though! Anyhow, the bus driver (in attempt to get us all to shut up) decided to put "some good music" on (his exact words)....

Pros: Incredible guitar solos - slide and acoustic
Cons: Some songs seem a bit out of place and withdrawn

Of all of Pink Floyd’s albums, Wish You Were Here, is probably the most under-rated and yet well known album of all. Known for its somber title track and electronic feel, this album served as both a beginning and an end for the band. And yet, somehow,...

Pros: Great Pink Floyd album
Cons: Underrated following up Dark Side of the Moon

The question on on everyone's mind, following the 1973 release of the wildly successful Dark Side of the Moon, was what will Pink Floyd do next? When their next album was released in 1975, this being of course Wish You Were Here, many people found it to...

Pros: All five tracks are classic songs from the Floyd.
Cons: None.

On the 5th of June, 1975, Pink Floyd were holding a small party in the studio to mark the final mix of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". Several EMI staff were there, and David Gilmour's girlfriend, Ginger.

After the...

Pros: Brilliant album from Pink Floyd
Cons: none

After the success of 1973's "Dark Side Of The Moon", Pink Floyd went from cult band to mega-stadium rock giants. Though the band had become more successful than ever, it didn't really bring them any happiness. The band was starting to feel a...

Pros: Amazingly constructed art. Great lyrics, guitars, and keyboards.
Cons: None!

The mind blowing success of Dark Side of the Moon couldn't be harder to follow up. It's the album that stayed on the top 200 charts longer than any other album in history. Yet Pink Floyd not only matched its greatness but surpassed it. Wish You...
