Dodo's Album Reviews

 Greetings, my friends. I welcome you back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing Pink Floyd's third album and first without founding member, Syd Barrett, Ummagumma. For those wondering what the name means, it's supposedly Cambridge slang for s3x, most commonly used by a friend of Pink Floyd, Iain Moore. That's odd, given the contents of the album. Let's see what those contents are... Now, the first 4 tracks of the record are live performances, 3 of which being songs from the previous two albums, as such I will not be discussing them. However, the other track is a new one, that would only be heard during live concerts. Careful With That Axe Eugene has a slow, calming start, that is broken around the three minute mark, by some almost demonic sounding screeches, combined with a great guitar solo. This energetic motif would go one until around the six minute mark, where the calmer melody returns, and would continue until the rest of the song. A great track overall. Next, w...

Greetings everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing Pink Floyd's second studio album, A Saucerful of Secrets. Not much else to say, let's just jump into it. Starting off the album, we have Let There Be More Light, which starts off with a really catchy bass melody, of all things. And only after more than a minute, does Pink Floyd bring in a lead guitar. The riff towards the end is just amazing, the distortion and reverb make the guitar sound so heavy and spacey. The drums are especially powerful in this song, and I love how the song gets more and more chaotic as the track ends. Remember A Day was a pretty calm track, with some surprisingly soothing vocals and lovely piano melody. The bass sounds really nice on this track, and so does the guitar, only this time, it's a bit quiter. Set The Control For The Heart of The Sun was an abstract song, with some quiet drums, calm bassline and a piano driven lead, also incorporating SFX. This is another great track. ...

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, we are starting a new discography for the legendary prog rock band, Pink Floyd. Once again, similiar to how I was introduced to Aphex Twin , Jojo was the main reason I checked out their music. They did not disappoint at all. And now with that my  blog exists, I can talk about their beautiful discography (At the time of writing this post, I have already listened to all of their albums, up until The Wall). With that being said, let's jump straight into the review. We start with the thumping Astronomy Domine. This track was very energetic and had some very nice sounding guitar. Little to no lyrics are sang in this song, and are instead replaced by samples and loud guitars. A pretty good start to the album. Next we have Lucifer Sam. This song's instrumental had an almost Gorillaz-sounding feel to it. The dark guitar melodies and powerful drums made for a relatively OK track. Moving on, we have Matilda Mother. Featuring a slower beat a...
