Music reviews of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Music Review: Nothing like Waters-era Floyd, "Piper" is poorly-aged psychedelia
Rating: 2 Stars
What else can I add to the title? Don't buy this expecting a taste of Floyd's later visionary works. Piper strangely reminds me of The Kinks' "Village Green Preservation Society," another album that probably sounded fine in its time, but now leaves kitsch dripping from your speakers. Some of the songs wouldn't sound out of place on a late 60's parody record. (See: "The Gnome.)
For clarity's sake, I think we should stop referring to Pink Floyd as a single band, and instead refer to them as Synk Flarrett, & Royd Pinkers. (Post-waters Floyd doesn't need a name, because we don't ever need to talk about it.)
Description of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Limited Edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. 2008.While they took their name from blues musicians Pink Anderson and Floyd Council when they started out as an R&B combo in the mid-60s, Pink Floyd's leader, guitarist Syd Barrett, soon began piloting the band through unprecedented sonic excursions typified by the title of their 1967 debut album's most celebrated track--the outsized instrumental "Interstellar Overdrive." Equally adept at composing catchy-sounding, Gothic-themed pop songs such as "See Emily Play," "The Scarecrow" and "The Gnome," Barrett seemed destined for greatness--that is, until psychedelic drugs got the best of him, and he abandoned the band to bassist Roger Waters and new guitarist David Gilmour. The rest, as they say, is history. --Billy Altman
