What took me so long to hear this? Despite this album being nestled among mum and dad's vinyl collection throughout my life, I only actually listened to it for the first time two or three years ago. For the life of me, I can't remember what made me investigate it further.It's brilliant, of course. Rarely does any album work so well as one consistent piece of work - every part of every track fits into sequence perfectly. Rarely also do a band work together so closely to produce such a unified sound. It's hard to understand how a band that could make this album could become so acrimonious.
Highlights are hard to pick out due to the nature of the album, but there are some - the harmonies in 'Time', the piano intro to 'The Great Gig In The Sky', all of 'Us And Them'. To be honest though, the highlights are joined together by other highlights - this album doesn't put a foot wrong. Essential.
