The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

I know what you're thinking

wtf odoe
well
fuck you

To be honest, I prefer Saucerful of Secrets, but coming up in a couple of months will be the 40th anniversary of the release of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and it deserves some god damn recognition.
http://www.pinkfloyd.com/x/news.html?nid=5
To mark the 40th anniversary of the original release of Pink Floyd's first album ‘The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn', a special edition is planned for release via EMI Records on Tues 28th August in North America, and Monday September 3rd in Europe.
The packaging, designed by Storm Thorgerson, resembles a cloth-covered book, and holds 3 CD discs, along with a 12-page reproduction Syd Barrett notebook.
Discs 1 and 2 will contain the full ‘Piper' album, represented in both stereo and mono versions. Both have been newly remastered by James Guthrie.
Disc 3 includes bonus tracks, including the following: all the Pink Floyd singles from 1967, (‘Arnold Layne', ‘See Emily Play', and ‘Apples And Oranges'), plus the B sides ‘Candy And A Current Bun' and ‘Paintbox'. Other tracks are a version of ‘Interstellar Overdrive' - Take 2 of the original recording sessions, previously only available on an EP in France - and the 1967 stereo version of ‘Apples And Oranges'.
Other activities surrounding the 40th anniversary celebrations will be announced in due course.

Now Piper wasn't my first Floyd experience. Oh no. You can't just jump into Piper, you'd go mad. Bike alone has been known to drive people over the mental edge. I discovered Piper probably after I had been introduced to Ummagumma, so I had some exposure to some of the more off the wall Floyd stuff, sans Barrett. This whole album is fantastic. Just pure musical head trip. From the beginning, Astonomy Domine will blow you away and Interstellar Overdrive is just, well, shit, astounding. The Gnome is just a glimpse of Barrett being all what the fuck you gonna do, I'm fuckin crazy bitches.

I think the first time I heard this album, I wasn't even on drugs and I thought it was fuckin awesome. The I heard it on drugs and nearly had to turn it off because it was fuckin with me.
Plus this new 3 disc set planned to come out looks fuckin marvelous!

As usual, this is just one of my recommendations as to albums I think you should have in your library and no album of the month threads aren't for new albums that came out this month you stupid little faggots, so shut the fuck up about your new Marilyn Manson or whatever the fuck shit you got going on. This is mostly about albums in my collection that have stood the test of time.

    this is true

    I can't stand listening to them sober, most of the time

    I mean, I can tollerate it. If I have to.

    But last time I went to the dentist, all gooned out on nitrous, I fired up my mp3 player and put on a long list of floyd

    that was a shitload of fun. Whoever mastered that music knows exactly how to fuck with a stoned brain.

    Pink Floyd is a good band. and the people who say they aren't are douchebags. This is undeniable truth.

    Also Dream Theatre's not that great.

    They do it because it sounds good, they don't just do it for the fuck of it.

    There's a point when crafting a song becomes less an artistic effort and more an exercise in theory/complexity/difficulty. If you listen closely enough in a Dream Theater song you can hear the metronome ticking faster and faster.

    Also their singer sucks.
