The Best of Pink Floyd - A Foot In The Door Reviews

I'm a huge fan of the band and all of the individual songs herein, I'm simply reviewing the merits of THIS particular collection.To the best of my recollection, this is now the fifth (!?) "Greatest Hits" type of collection by Pink Floyd, and definately the worst of the five. Pink Floyd has always been a band that has to be appreciated by albums, not just individual songs, and this is what makes a "Greatest Hits" type collection (especially a ONE DISC collection), always seem uneven and incomplete. The fact that perhaps their finest album (Animals) isn't represented at all is ridiculous, and shows the folly of this entire release. What's even more strange (and kind of disturbing) is that the "Animals" album cover is shown in the collage on the front of the CD (as well as several other album covers that also AREN'T represented in this collection at...

(Lake Worth (a west Palm Beach suburb), FL) - See all my reviews  This review is from: The Best of Pink Floyd - A Foot In The Door (Audio CD) Pink Floyd's new single disc best of called A Foot In the Door is a great starter into the world of Pink Floyd for those who want to know what the band's music was like and first proper greatest hits album. When I first got wind of A Foot In the Door I was like do we need another single disc Pink Floyd compilation but got as a gift from a family member as I'm a Pink Floyd collector and I am impressed. A Foot in the Door, like the now out of print 2001 2-CD Echoes compilation, is not like many best ofs that are out on the market as it is a non-chronological compilation and has songs segueing from one to the next. A Foot In the Door (as its title suggests) is literally geared towards newbies who want to delve into the legacy of Pink Floyd and, unlike 1981's A Collection of Great Dance Songs and 1983's US only Works, is a single disc compilation spanning everything from 1967 to 1994 and coming in at close to 80 minutes. It's impossible to put a collection of Pink...

Every classic rock radio cut (hence, nothing from 'Animals'), and then some (OK, OK, they coulda put one 'Animals' cut on this), is on here, perfect for the casual fan. Let me repeat that: perfect for the casual fan... like my brother. I'm getting this for him for his birthday. I almost considered getting him 'Echoes' last year, but knew he would not listen to it, too much unfamiliar material. With this disc there are 13 out of 16 songs I know he would know. Pretty solid. As for me I have the albums, so this would be a superfluous purchase for myself. But for my brother or anyone else who wants to get a... foot in the door, this is the perfect place to start. |
