Whelp I hope we all have our psychedelics' ready because we are diving head first into Pink Floyds first record that was made on LSD. Did this blow our minds in a good or bad way? Let's watch and see...

I think going into this album comparing it to the rest of Pink Floyd’s albums is a mistake. This was six albums and seven years before Dark Side of the Moon. It’s very much its own thing and a different sounding band. Not just the psychedelic rock aspects, but the experimental rock aspects can be hard for people to take in and understand. I know Syd was on drugs and there are a lot of weird pieces. But everything is still structured and purposefully done here. I don’t really understand the nursery rhymes comparison and I feel like you didn’t really look into the lyrics. Also worth noting That Pow R Toc H was inspired by the sounds and effects used by The Beatles on Lovely Rita. And aside from the beginning and ending theme, Interstellar Overdrive is mostly jazz inspired with improvisation throughout by the band members. I really like this album, but I enjoy a lot of weird rock music. I totally get why you or anyone wouldn't be into it. Especially knowing the stuff they would put out later. That is incredibly disappointing that Animals isn't in the Top 250, but I'm not surprised considering they snubbed King Crimson entirely. I'm really looking forward to Kimono My House! Sparks rule and that album way more up your alley!

Totally agree with this. Barrett, Waters and Gilmour basically led different bands (a little less so in the case of Waters to Gilmour, but still) and knowing that can possibly help the album go down a bit smoother for the first time if you're not familiar with this type of psychedelic stuff. Also bummed they completely snubbed Crimson, I thought Red had a good shot and ItCotCK would def be somewhere.

I think it's typical with a lot of older bands, when you go back to their first or second albums that they can be kind of weird and different, much more out there, even for Pink Floyd. There's not many songs that really stick with you, but I agree Sean. It's definitely really interesting to see where they started and came from and how they evolved. This was a really interesting record club. I really enjoyed it!

Genuinely surprised this album made it onto this list, it's one of the most divisive Pink Floyd albums. That said, I do love it. I love the early experimental usage of the stereo image. I love any album with both a mono and stereo mix that makes such a difference. Only have two of their albums on vinyl so far, and this is one of them. Classic, but I understand everyone not really messing with it.

Pair next week with movie club! Sparks are featured in and did all the music for Annette (2021) with Adam Driver. Super interesting band and movie. Can't wait!
