There is a reason this remained on the billboard hot 100 chart for YEARS and there's a reason polls list it as the #1 favourite album of the 20th Century. It is simply superb - totally immersive listening, and sounds better on vinyl than any other medium (except the real band live). Exploring themes of mental illness and alienation from the mainstream music scene, it is a carefully crafted musical exposition of all the of the band's various talents - which are immense. It has to be listened as an album, with the lights out and cranked up LOUD... Been listening to this for 40 years and never get sick of it.

in all honesty, i'm not keen on the remastered edition. i much prefer the original edition, where you could hear the sound of the tape. the remastered edition is too clinical, too clean, and with sound that was designed to sound good with certain characteristics of tape, that just doesn't quite work for me. that said, the sound on the vinyl itself is better than you can download. better than cd. and i have owned both the original tape mastered cds that were relased in the 80s, and remastered cds that were released later, and both don't quite have the same sound as vinyl. this one is a great, full sound, though, which does better than cds, at least while the vinyl is new, and many like myself, in their 40s and older, will appreciate the pop and crackle you only get from well used vinyl. still not tape, but very very good for the nostalgia.Read full review

Arguably ohe of the best rock albums of all time. Transcends time, still relevant and a totally immersive experience. Didnt get to see pink floyd as a band but have seen Roger waters do most of the album on 2 tours which is a tour de'force in itself. Love this album.
