[quote]I think this is the typical example of a hit-or-miss album for a music listener. There are the ones saying genius and the ones saying a document of the mental breakdown of an acclaimed genius.







I can see it, because it is dark and depressing but what most miss is that Barrett didn't loose it on here but moreover he did nail his sad charackter down in a way that is as sincere as the songwriting of Daniel Johnston and as deep in the psychedelic sense as nothing that was written before! I am in love with every song on here! After a while one gets the feeling of Barrett being an absolute original. Seriously, out of every guitar downswing i could hear how Barrett swings the guitar. There is no one else, that does it like him. He paints chords and melodies. He is taking it from the angle of a true artist. The way the music is arranged it all makes sense and there is no tone that doesn't follow the message or the expression the song is all about. There is not one tone that feels wrong but all at the right place. [quote/]

lol how does this reviewer think this album is a 2.5, even with the off-key ramblings of "If It's in You" it's still fucking good through and through

I came to the conclusion that most of Syd Barrett's songs were poetry and art instillations rather than something that was meant to be a well constructed music piece... Obviously. I thoroughly recommend this album but I'm biased because it kind of saved my life... Not that it's THAT good, but for some unknown reason it struck something within me. Although octopus slightly triggers acid ptsd.

There is a documentary on Syd directed by Storm Thorgerson before he died. It has never been released but this trailer/preview exists.

who tf wrote this review? what a twat.

What a strange album

this desperately needs a better review

Wow you weren't kidding this is a blight

The Madcap Laughs is a scattered piece of work. Some of the songs are unfinished or just stuff that should've been left as studio outtakes. The best example is If it's in you, where at the beginning Syd screws up the vocals at the beginning. He tells to the producer that he'll start again, basically they could've easily just not have included the first bit.




what a stupid fucking thing to write

imagine saying the same thing about illmatic's intro to ny state of mind for instance lol

At 0:00 minutes at the beginning of the start of the song's start, Syd begins screwing up the vocals at the beginning where it enters

im pretty sure they hadnt invented proofreading in 2005

Is it really an early Sput review if it doesn’t have about 87 unformattable text errors replaced with question mark diamonds, though??
