I remember making cassette copies of that from a guy who had it around then. The combined Pigs on the Wing was about my favorite thing on it.

Listened to The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here and Animals back-to-back last night and found myself thinking that The Dark Side Of The Moon was the weakest of the three.

as music asymptotically approaches pure ruling, such distinctions are rendered pointless

Nick Mason has never been the greatest drummer in the world. Far from it. In fact, Pink Floyd's rhythm section is easily the worst aspect of the band musically to me. Having said that, his drumming is okay on Wish You Were Here and Animals. On The Dark Side Of The Moon he just sounds like a stoned amateur.

Well, there are some aspects of Pink Floyd which do not rule, therefore they cannot completely rule.

― mookieproof, Tuesday, 20 January 2015 19:01 (nine years ago) link
On The Dark Side Of The Moon he just sounds like a stoned amateur.
I wouldn't go that far; I mean, he holds it together, swings a bit in 7/4, doesn't overplay on the fills, and has a pretty solid sense of orchestration.
That said, I vastly prefer his playing the first few records -- he really sounded like he was reaching for (and came pretty close to) some kind of psychedelic recontextualization of Elvin Jones' best ideas on Piper.
And he never again reached the funky heights of the midsection in the Pompeii version of "Echoes."

c'mon mason rules.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 20 January 2015 19:19 (nine years ago) link
Of course he doesn't overplay, that's because he's constantly underplaying. I dunno, I just find his drumming on that album painfully boring, sounding permanently like Mason is about to fall asleep at any second and like he literally, physically can't be bothered to do anything more than the bare minimum he needs to. 'Money' is some of the most dull drumming in 7/4 I've ever heard in prog rock.
He sounds more alive on other tracks/albums, like 'Sheep' from Animals for example.

i know what you mean, but i also think the floyd might've been a worse band if they had a really virtuosic drummer
― tylerw, Tuesday, 20 January 2015 20:26 (nine years ago) link
I agree that the Floyd didn't need a flashy drummer, I just think that Mason's drumming on The Dark Side Of The Moon pales in comparison to his drumming on other albums.
The real ear-candy, of course, comes from Wright and Gilmour on those '70s records.

Mason's nowhere near as bad a drummer as Waters is a bass player but I'm not sure why the underachievement of the rhythm section doesn't matter to me so much, songs I guess.
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 20 January 2015 21:41 (nine years ago) link
Roger Waters' preoccupation with the war is completely understandable, but I'd be being completely dishonest if I said it didn't get on my tits.
― You’re being too simplistic and you’re insulting my poor heart (Turrican), Tuesday, 20 January 2015 21:52 (nine years ago) link
and his voice, my god is voice... tolerable on some tracks, downright unbearable on others... why couldn't they have just let Gilmour sing everything?

― calstars, Tuesday, 20 January 2015 21:55 (nine years ago) link
It's such a shame that Roger was a bit of a lousy singer and lousy bassist (most of the tastier bass work, such as on 'Hey You' and 'Pigs' was done by Gilmour) because without his lyrics and concepts helping to tie those classic '70s records together who knows what would have happened?

I think Mason brings his wet teabag funk to 'Have a Cigar'
Is there a book that details studio ephemera like who played bass on what track and who sang 'Cigar' etc?

Cigar was sung by Roy Harper

I didn't know the bass for "Hey You" was played by Gilmour. I assumed Waters locked himself in a studio with Bob Ezrin and Toni Tennille and made the whole album by himself.
― pplains, Wednesday, 21 January 2015 15:19 (nine years ago) link
Waters' bass playing was much better early on too - when he 'couldn't play' - thereafter, plod plod plod plod plod.
