Okay, so you think Colors' songs are directionless, but these aren't? That's retarded.

I never said BTBAM was better than Pink Floyd, I'm saying that Colors is better than Ummagumma. I would really like to see someone try to legitimately argue that lol

Saying Colors is directionless is fucking stupid. BECAUSE, if you actually listen to it, you can hear that every riff is placed with the riff that comes next in mind. Even though some of the juxtapositions that are used might seem a tad out of place, they still accomplish what each part of the songs are trying to accomplish perfectly. Now see, Ummagumma isn't even trying to DO anything.

hi qwe

cmon this has more direction than an album like colors. in addition this is also much more tasteful than anything on colors.

lol transitioning riffs(or whatever you said) = direction

firstly experimentation is by definition bizzare, secondly it sounds like you think experimentation is inherently bad



Saying Colors is directionless is fucking stupid. BECAUSE, if you actually listen to it, you can hear that every riff is placed with the riff that comes next in mind.




no you can't. random time signature changes coupled with riffs that are just mashed together, occasionally bracketed by strange genre additions is not direction, nor is it good songwriting. when they expand on ideas or let them breathe is when btbam write great music. On Colors this happens very rarely.



plus their vocalist is fucking atrocious.



Even though some of the juxtapositions that are used might seem a tad out of place, they still accomplish what each part of the songs are trying to accomplish perfectly. Now see, Ummagumma isn't even trying to DO anything.




loooool. ok so you actually admit that some ideas are out of place. it's more than just a tad though. also how do you know what the songs are trying to accomplish? if they were trying to come off as the sonic equivalent of a trainwreck then yeah i guess they do. i would have been happier had they failed at that particular goal.

Again, how do you know Ummagumma isn't trying to DO anything? You say IN YOUR REVIEW that they rely on experimentation. But no, Pink Floyd never tried to be EXPERIMENTAL did they? oh wait. oops. huh



Ummagumma was an album made by members of Pink Floyd each trying to write music individually. That's why the songs sound scattered. You can't treat it like Dark Side of the Moon because it wasn't made to have an overarching aesthetic or theme. Its first disc is a fucking live album for god's sake. Treat each song as a song and not a piece of a larger whole and it makes a whole lot of sense. as an album yeah it's directionless, but each song has its own merit.



in Colors, however, pretty much every song is fucking horrible.
