The rest of the band Mason and Wright pull their part, too.

It's not even bearable. Syd Barret's going insane was the best thing to happen to Pink Floyd since their inception.

Doesn't make it any better to look at or to analyze.

Originally Posted by: Jolly McJollysonIt wasn't that creative, really. It was just a bunch of poorly produced bluesy-psychadelic crap. Me farting into a microphone and remixing it is creative, but that doesn't mean it's music. I personally think MUSIC is the most important thing in music, followed by creativity. But if you prefer creativity, why don't you go listen to Charles Ives and his followers for a few hours?
Originally Posted by: earthman buckWell, I think the music is good too. It's catchy and interesting. Different, but still familiar enough for me to understand. I guess that's why I like it.
