Esa canción que compone el lado A ha sido por mucho mi canción favorita del album. Sí, se prolonga casi hasta los 24 minutos, pero es que la canción crece y se acomoda e incorpora nuevos tonos, y resurge y vuelve a crecer y así sucesivamente y cada vez que explota lo hace de una manera más original que la vez anterior y es que nunca me ha terminado de impactar. La primera canción es simplemente de lo mejor que yo haya escuchado de Pink Floyd. Dicho esto, y espero me puedan comprender si es que ese comentario sobre Echoes les ha generado antipatía, Atom Heart Mother EXPLOTA completamente. Pues desde ya les digo que no soy muy fan de las canciones que se alargan demasiado, tal es mi caso con Echoes en Meddle, acerca de ese disco ya escribiré mis pensamientos en un cercano futuro. Overall, this isn't a bad Pink Floyd album but there is room to be improved and it isn't as good as their other work. They are the only reason I come back to the record. They are short and sweet and have some brilliant instrumental moments on them. This is evidenced in the three other songs which I think are fantastic and if they made a whole record of that it would be very strong. Both of these tracks make the record far longer than it needs to be and are just a waste when they clearly demonstrate they can still make top quality music. There are some great guitar moments on the opening track that do make it decent but the last song is just pointless in my opinion. The opening and closing track are a prime example of the group being overly focused on trying to be too experimental and in the process they lose the song altogether along the way. This is a very elongated and drawn out record by Pink Floyd where the strongest moments are found in the middle three songs. Also Gilmours near folky "Fat Old Sun" is quite solid, while Waters’ "If" is somewhat dull. This is almost classic Pink Floyd of the psychedelic period with Barrett. Personally I find Wright's "Summer 68" the most interesting. Waters, Gilmour and Wright deliver one song each as solo-writer. The whole group is credited as writers of the track, just like the somewhat trippy final track "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast", which is also an extended track with a running time of 13 minutes. There are many different parts, some of which are subdued and melodic, while others are more harsh and noisy. And in its full extents is repeated towards the end. The composition is almost symphonically built up around a very strong horn which is presented early, and which along the way is touched upon several times. The long 23-minutes title track suite, is in many ways akin to the long tracks on "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Wish You Were Here". As songwriters, there are signs that both Gilmour, Waters and Wright are growing as songwriters, but it is especially in the instrumental area that "Atom Heart Mother" shows signs of what would come later of great albums. With Pink Floyd's 1970 album "Atom Heart Mother" you sense a group that has not quite found a direction after the loss of songwriter Syd Barrett, who had to left the group in 1968. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.9/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. This album is rated in the top 3% of all albums on. (*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings) The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation). However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution.
