This one is a difficult one to place. It came out in between Meddle and Dark Side, two of the most revered Pink Floyd albums ever. It’s a soundtrack to some hippy movie, kind of like More or Zabriskie Point. Some people say it’s a hidden gem, others say there’s a reason it’s basically ignored. While it is a great folk/rock album and has some great tracks on it the lack of a grandiose feel works against it somewhat. It is a fine collection of songs, but coming from a band who significantly changed the way the album as a work of art was viewed for a large portion of the mainstream audience it’s almost like it’s not enough.
Free Four is most certainly good enough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0gEa20Wsqg
