Atom Heart Mother will largely be for cultists, but its unevenness means there's also a lot to cherish here.

Pink Floyd's hidden gem - The Dark Side of the Moo.

The Telegraph
Classical suites, folk, psychedelia & sonic collages, this if Floyd testing the limits of prog rock and finding they are mostly unrewarding and unlistenable.

I was extremely surprised by this record. Based on all the user and critic scores, I wasn't expecting to hear something nearly this good until I got to their album "Meddle" but it came early for me. I like the sound and the feeling of this album so much, especially during the first song, that I found it difficult to get the smile off of my face. I became so immersed in this record that I almost fell out of my chair when someone walked into my room - a bit of a jumpscare!

"Atom Heart Mother" is a well-constructed, beautifully produced Pink Floyd album that would’ve been one of my favorites if it weren't for "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast". It's literally 13 minutes of Alan Styles preparing and eating a breakfast I wish I could have. At least it invented ASMR decades before ASMR was even a thing.

Fav Tracks: Atom Heart Mother, Fat Old Sun, Summer '68

If Pink Floyd had been more known earlier, this would have been their breakthrough, and it probably would've still ended at The Final Cut.

I would like to have a conversation with Rolling Stone's CEO
