Recent reviews

Listened to this twice today. The first time was on the train and I was thinking I don’t know why this is as popular and loved as it is. I became curious and researched into what the album is album and learned the lore of Syd Barrett. Honestly this changed my entire perspective on the album. I didn’t even know I could feel some of these feelings about someone I don’t even know. It has such a sad notion that just ends with you feeling empty and unresolved. I definitely have a stronger appreciation for this album now.
