This is the definitive review of the music of Pink Floyd album by album. These set represent the most painstaking and detailed exploration of the work ever undertaken. Featuring extensive archive interviews with Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, Richard Wright and David Gilmour alongside extremely rare footage of Pink Floyd in performance from film and television archives around the globe, this authoritative independent review is essential viewing for every Pink Floyd fan. Drawing extensively upon the words of the band themselves and a host of Floyd insiders including Clare Torry, Ron Geesin, Norman "Hurricane" Smith, Joe Boyd, and Snowy White, each Floyd album is reviewed in turn, comparing and contrasting the views of the band and it's critics with rare surviving performances by Pink Floyd. The forthright views of a team of leading critics, musicologists and film academics complete this important work. "Pink Floyd and the Critics", the best selling study of the evolution of the music of Pink Floyd in the words of the band contrasted with the contemporary critical reaction to the albums as they were released and performed.
