Really??? The only album that I feel that really has a dark demon laying inside of it is The Wall... I think that album has gotten so much attention, that most non Floyd listeners base their views of the band on that one album alone.
I have listened to Floyd since I was young in the 70's but have really taken a deeper dive into their material here recently (and actually paid attention to it).
I really think that their music is/was ahead of its time. I think that they are one of the rare bands that started out ehh... and ended up timeless...
I listen to their early stuff and find it to be a little too experimental for my own personal tastes, but I believe that their music got better with time. Unlike many bands that shoot their load of creativity within their first album or two and then fade into the ashes...
I really believe that alot of their work is plain, flat out masterpieces.
Not only do I feel that they are very clever in their lyrics, but the musical arrangements, I just can't comprehend how they put this stuff together compared to normal bands...
The only negative thing that I can think of associated with the band is that most people consider you a stoner if you listen to Pink Floyd or if you meet a stoner and mention Pink Floyd that they always want to try and have this deep philosophical discussion of what they think the music means etc...
P.S. I wasn't trying to make this post seem like a deep philosophical discussion lol
AND, yes Echoes gives me chills.............
