What the Critics Say
Pink Floyd followed the commercial breakthrough of Dark Side of the Moon with Wish You Were Here, a loose concept album about and dedicated to their founding member Syd Barrett. The record unfolds gradually, as the jazzy textures of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" reveal its melodic motif, and in its leisurely pace, the album shows itself to be a warmer record than its predecessor. Musically, it's arguably even more impressive, showcasing the group's interplay and David Gilmour's solos in particular. And while it's short on actual songs, the long, winding soundscapes are constantly enthralling. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

what is it with diamonds whether it be lucy in the sky with diamonds or shine on you crazy diamond truely master pieces in their own right. It don't get any better than this. the only time it was better was back in the day when these songs were released and life was so much better then, boy did we screw this world and planet all to hell. for what greed. thank god for pink floyd who for a few short moments can take us away from it all through their music. thank you guys.
