If Barrett's mental breakdown was the subtext of Dark Side, Wish You Were Here was an explicit tribute to their lost friend.

The sound of Pink Floyd as a perfect rock machine, repeated musical motifs glistening in the crazy diamond heart of its tribute to an absent friend, Syd Barrett.
Not only am I illiterate, I am also extraordinarily mentally handicapped. Not only am I a few IQ points from being considered a vegetable, I also have an incomprehensibly grating personality. Putting me in a room with anyone could cause them serious mental degeneration, and likely brain cancer. I am a menace to society as a whole. Not only that, I am impalpably narcissistic.

Had an incredible revelation with this one. Thought it was a perfect 10 for the longest time, but now it’s a solid 9.4, tied with Animals so now I’m very conflicted on which one is the better album. Help.
