Pink Floyd

The Best Of Pink Floyd

Nothing New

Review Score:

(8/10)
I've been aware of Pink Floyd for at least the last 30 years, and I can tell that there is no track here not heard before, except maybe for the Watersless Floyd ones.

I rate this 3 stars for the tunes selection. I understand it's way hard to select the "best", coz each album up to The Final Cut were best on their own right. Any Pink Floyd fan have preferred tunes over the others, so it is impossible to make everybody happy, besides cutting the tracks from their albums context; but some missings are unforgivable, think of Piper's "Chapter 24", Saucerful's "Remember a Day", Ummagumma's "Grantchester Meadows", Atom Heart Mother's "If", "Summer 68", or "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast", Meddle's "Fearless", Obscured by Clouds' "Childhoods End", Dark Side's "Eclipse", Wish You's "Have a Cigar", Animals' "Pigs", Final Cut's "South Hampton Dock" or "Paranoid Eyes", etc?tera and I'm skipping More.

I know there's enough material for more than a third disc, but the Eugene doing the editing could've use the axe smarter and save space from Division Bell lame tracks adding some of the aforementioned ones.

Anyway, the 4th star is deserved for the leaflet art and graphics, always a Pink Floyd strenght, if only the lyrics were more visible, but all of us already know them. Cheers.
