      Yes one of my favourites, I bought the album when it was released and found that some tracks suffered from sibilance especially the last track the instrumental on side one. Apparently this was a first pressing and the second was OK (According to R. Waters). The album is good enough to benefit from a remix and re-release.

      Equally a fan of "Wot's...Uh The Deal". It's one of those rarely heard cuts from PF that only realfans know. Obscured By Clouds is about the same as a silver medal being given to a runner from the US in the marathon. Underrated and underappreciated

    Nice to see a fellow Free Four fan, I often see that song dismissed these days but I love it. Obscured by Clouds helped the group gain traction in the States, some tracks on this album back in '72 got decent airplay on underground FM stations.

    Terrific review. IMO, the 2 most underrated albums in Pink Floyd's catalogue are Obscured By Clouds and the Division Bell. The only bad track on Obscured By Clouds is the final track and there is not a bad track on the Division Bell.

      Time was likely written and certainly performed before anything from Obscured by Clouds. Dark Side was performed live in its entirety in January 1972 whilst Obscured by Clouds was recorded in the months following that.

    I wholeheartedly agree with this assessment of the album. I've outgrown the relentless pessimism of the later years and have found a greater appreciation for the works during this period of the band's history. They don't have the fine studio polish of those later albums but there is an ethereal and otherworldly quality that paints such vivid pictures in your mind. In Free Four you can hear the seeds of Roger's obsession with his father's death and would appear on other albums in one form or another. A more casual fan will not give these albums much attention and that is ultimately their loss.

    Excellent review! I agree this album is an overlooked gem and showcased their ability to write and perform straightforward rock and gentle ballads.

    Few people seem to fully appreciate that although OBC was released before Dark Side, by this time The Floyd had already written and toured with the proto Dark Side material. So, in way, one can look on OBC as being a sequel to Dark Side.
    Also, I regret that so many people seem to underrate the title track. At the time, synthesizers were very innovative and slide guitar wasn't too common either. For those present at the release of OBC, this track was a standout and remains one my all time favourites.

  • @LeeLucas

    I have to admit I had forgotten how good this album was until last year when I brought the 6th Individual Volume of the Early Years box set. To be honest, I don't think I had heard the album since I brought it on vinyl back in the 70's and even though I replaced most of my Floyd collection on CD, that slipped my mind. I very much think it slipped Gilmour and Waters minds too because they never play a damn thing off the album live and even today they still ignore it. It's as if the album does not exist 😊😊😊.
    It is an album that very rarely gets mentioned in polls and many discussions about the band. Yet I think it is well worthy of the GOLD Fish and there are some really GREAT! tracks on the album. As a matter of fact, the only thing that separates this album from Meddle is that it does not have a long epic track like "Echoes". The album has always been highly underrated and yet I think it's one of their better albums and certainly not an album to ignore like even I did over all those years. As for Gilmour and Waters ignoring it I would like to know "Uh What's The Deal" 😊😊😊.

    • @ianfortier6796

      It wasn't completely ignored, Gilmour played "Wots... Uh, the Deal" throughout his 2006 tour and was as awesome as ever. I agree that both David and Roger should have played more from this album throughout the years. Not playing Stay in 2006 with Rick on tour with him was a missed opportunity.

    I actually thought I wasn’t gonna like this album due to the fact that it came out after Echoes and got in the way before Dark Side but now I’ve listened to it I actually like it! The instrumental “When You’re In” is an epic piece to put together, it kicks ass simply. “Burning Bridges” is as good as Time from Dark Side, David and Rick’s vocals together are beautiful and brilliant for this song. “The Gold” is also a kick ass rocker and it sounds like something Led Zeppelin would produce. Childhoods End, Free Four, and Stay are really good. However I don’t think it’s as good as Echoes but this album is still a good album. But still I gotta give it a spotted fish tho.

Overall a hidden gem of an album.

    Of all Floyd albums, Atom Heart, Meddle and Obscured all present Gilmour at his most melodically inventive. Dark Side has great blues playing from him but it is the start of his inexorable slide into bluesy pentatonic pedal-processed noodling, until by the mid 1980s he was a prisoner of his of own style.

    Love all of these tunes, love the album and always in my top 6 albums that stand out from all the rest. I also think this is their only album that works as on shuffle as playing the album.
    Childhoods End proves David could write lyrics when he put his mind to it and had the confidence (difficult to maintain confidence while in the presence of a lyrical genius, especially one who is as demeaning as he is arrogant).
    Free Four, wow! what a song! If only Roger in that style for some of his stuff on The Wall and The Final Cut, and David persevered with his own lyrics, how much better would those later albums have been?

This album is criminally underrated. In fact:I like this album better than anything by Pink Floyd after Wish You Were Here.

    With the debate whether Pink Floyd purposely synched DSOTM with the Wizard of Oz or not, I am a believer they did. Obscured by Clouds and More tipped me off. Not only does the music and lyrics synch up too well but they have experience with synching their music to movies, twice. They even disgussed the experience they gained making music to match movies in interviews. So the experience and ability is right there in their arsenal.

    Just my opinion, but I have always felt that "The gold, it's in the ..." is the final words of a dying man, who croaks before he can reveal the all-important whereabouts. "What's, uh, the deal?" is cod 'hippy talk' - someone trying to be cool, man!

    Ever wondered why theres an Arthur C. Clarke title on this album? Let's just say La Vallée is vastly overshadowed :3

    Fantastic album. All tracks are good. The film is terrible. This album and "More" soundtrack are really good for learning and playing guitar especially acoustic.. I just got the free guitar tabs online and eventually played a lot of these songs. It's worth a try and, if you like the music, you will get there.

    I think free four sounds like a beatles song from the 64-66 era.

    People complain they like Darkside but not Pink Floyd because Pink Floyd never made another album that sounded like it. I.E. they don't like those one side of album length songs on Meddle, Wish You Were Here, and Animals. I always tell them to listen to this album. It's recorded at the same time as Darkside was being written and covers many of the same themes. And it has a lot of Rick on it.

      Funny I never heard someone complain about not liking Wish You Were Here if they liked Dark Side, but I definitely agree that Obscured by Clouds is a more conventional album that general classic rock fans can enjoy.

    Totally underrated, when you consider what was about to explode...1973 to 79,,,, six classic albums, only matched by The Beatles ten years earlier....If you take Floyd, Yes, Genesis til 77,Elp,,,,Crimson,Caravan etc....The music generated in this Prog Decade, surpassed everything before and has never been matched since...Magenta, Transatlantic, IQ, Mostly Autumn and Karnataka are today’s Prog Heroes...
    But it’s back to 71/72****73/ 79, that we have to be grateful for, plus all the modern bands listed above all go back to the seventies heroes..
    Sorry l forgot to mention Meddle, Foxtrot, Fragile, Close to the Edge, Selling England, Yes Album etc etc,,,,the list is endless...
    So go and see Gabriel, Steve Hackett, plus whatever Yes lineup still give performances that we Prog Heads dream about...
    Yes in Nottingham Concert Hall this Saturday evening, so 150 minutes plus from the Progmeisters themselves here we go..
