Wish You Were Here

by Pink Floyd

* Progressive Rock is starting to become one of my favourite genres because all of this was amazing and blew me away at certain parts. I truly think this is close to perfect, but personal vibes keep me from rating this 100, but it could easily rise.

* So the best part of this album really is the very complex and artistically sound arrangements. There's so many elements to focus on in these songs. A big part of it are the song lengths which give especially the 10+ minute songs a long time to sonically evolve, it leaves a greater impression than shorter songs.

* You also got the number of elements within these arrangements, which is what gives it the complexity. You have the standard 4 instruments of rock, synths, woodwinds, and even some brass instruments on the opener. It makes the songs feel constantly fresh.

* Overall this album feels very fresh and is given much time for its tracks to evolve. Combined with its complex arrangements due to the many instruments used, this leads to what is now my absolute favourite prog rock album
