Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions
Amazon.com essential recording
For all that menacing, hatchet-happy growl at the beginning of Meddle's opener, "One of These Days," Pink Floyd really weren't about to "cut you into little pieces." Meddle did, however, show that the reigning British monarchs of 1970s-era psychedelia could rip into galloping jams. It also showed what its predecessor, Atom Heart Mother, promised--that the band could excel in long, breathtaking suites that revealed strains of late-classical music, Sun Ra-inspired space explorations, and a patchwork approach to colliding sounds that together took on acid-drenched proportions. And if all that isn't enough, "San Tropez" revealed a playful side of the band, playing footsy with loungy jazz and having good fun in the process. --Andrew Bartlett

"One of these Days.." - Reviewed on 2008-10-04

I'm going to cut you to little pieces!." What, did you think I was going to say "Alice"? Haha. Well, unlike most of the reviewers, I just got this 2 weeks ago, and I haven't stopped listening to it. Matter of fact, I just started a minute ago. People in general should have this, Piper, Saucerful, AHM, Dark Side, WYWH, Animals and the Wall in their collection. You don't come across albums this good anymore, I mean anything post 1999 needs a couple of listens, except Maiden and Priest that is. I love the spaced out feeling of Pillow in the Wind and Fearless. Great writing musically and lyrically. Not one bad tune, even Seamus is good. Yes, I like Seamus and I don't care what everyone else says, it's still a good listen.
Then we get to the song that defines this album, and eventually Pink Floyd's future. "Echoes" the 23 and a half minute masterpiece that wore out the other side of the Vinyl LP. Honestly, how many people have bought this physically or electronically(iTunes) just for Echoes. It's a shame the greatest hits is missing 7 minutes. I think you need the entire song to truly appreciate it. Well, check it out here, or on iTunes, but buy it physically, because you'll like it so much, that you can't live without it. That and what happens if you forget to back everything up, and the computer crashes, now you're screwed. So do yourself a favor, and get it today. Without Meddle, we don't have Dark Side of the Moon. Hell, get both of them at once.
