Очень плохой альбом PF. Даже сами участники группы и Уотерс и Гилмор отзывались о нём очень плохо и я с ними полностью соглашусь. По сравнению со следующими произведениями - это полный мусор с парочкой неплохих моментов (лишь моменты!) а не целиком и всё. Непонятные оркестровки, непонятных хоры, ни к селу и ни к городу так модная симфоничность и академизм в прогроке. Слушается очень плохо. С трудом осилил его.

The fifth album by Pink Floyd lifted the group to a new height, specifically to the 1 spot on the British charts. Many of us are convinced that real success for PF only came after The Dark Side of the Moon, or at least Meddle. No, the success of the latter was even more modest than AHM. One of the two sound engineers on the album was Alan Parsons, who was only 22 at the time, but a year earlier he had already managed to record the legendary Abbey Road. This largely determined the success of the record as well, since people bought it not only for the compositions, but also for what was, at the time, another sonic breakthrough. Because if one is to be 100% honest, this is not even the band's best album at that time, let alone for their further career. The LP consists of five tracks — two authored by the entire group, and one personal track each for Waters, Gilmour, and Wright. 1) Atom heart mother – a beautiful melody (when it exists), with hints of future prog-greatness already felt; 2) If – a stunning ballad that connects early and late PF, authored by Waters; 3) Summer'68 - typical early PF from Wright; 4) Fat old sun – one could say this is Gilmour's solo work (here David played all instruments, including drums); 5) Alan's psychedelic breakfast – nothing more than entertainment with technology. However, after listening to the disc, there is a feeling of the project's completeness, which adds at least half a point in this style. One way or another, the height was reached, and later through Meddle and Obscured by clouds, the musicians achieved all-consuming fame with Dark side of the Moon, Wish you were here, Animals, and The Wall. But still, AHM was closer to the early period, while also being a bridge to Meddle, which I consider the first album of the band's main work.
