Editorial Review:
For all that menacing, hatchet-happy growl at the beginning of Meddle's opener, "One of These Days," Pink Floyd really weren't about to "cut you into little pieces." Meddle did, however, show that the reigning British monarchs of 1970s-era psychedelia could rip into galloping jams. It also showed what its predecessor, Atom Heart Mother, promised--that the band could excel in long, breathtaking suites that revealed strains of late-classical music, Sun Ra-inspired space explorations, and a patchwork approach to colliding sounds that together took on acid-drenched proportions. And if all that isn't enough, "San Tropez" revealed a playful side of the band, playing footsy with loungy jazz and having good fun in the process. --Andrew Bartlett
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - One of Floyd's best, actually....
This album is as good as Floyd classics, but never gets mentioned the same breath as Dark Side of the Moon or the ones that followed it. It's an extraordinarily well made album, brilliantly sequenced, written, and performed. It's also a true Floyd album, with all band members contributing to the songwriting. It starts with the amazing, scary One of These Days. The next song, A Pillow of Winds, is one of Floyd's most beautiful ballads. San Tropez is cute and beautiful, and Seamus, which sounds ...

Rating: - A Perfect Synthesis of the Many "Pink Floyd Sounds"
Pink Floyd has had many sounds and styles over the years. There is the Barret-era, the pre-Darkside era, as well as the Darkside-era and the post-Darkside era. Each gives insight into the happenings of the band, the creative leaders, and the battles for power.
Meddle was somewhere in the middle. It sports of the refinement that would make Darkside of the Moon one of the best albums ever. It glimpses that architectural, perfectly choreographed style that shot Pink Floyd into the history ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent
Though often overshadowed by The Wall or Dark Side, this is a magnificent album. This is my favorite earlier Floyd album, even though it doesn't get the airplay of the others, it is truly a masterpiece.
Rating: - May well be the most underrated classic rock album...
I saw this on sale and I thought to myself, I'll come back again and if it's still there, I think I'll get it. It was and I did. And let me tell you, reader, it's great. This '71 release doesn't sound dated, and it stands up strong to Led Zeppelin IV and Who's Next, among others. It's just as good as DSOTM and WYWH. Go get it, and there's no need to get hight to it.
Rating: - Best Pink Floyd album to get high to...
The music on this album flows seamlessly from the beginning track to the epic 20 min.+ "Echoes". In my opinion the greatest Pink Floyd album of all time, I absolutely trip out to this album, the feeling is 100% euphoria. Best enjoyed with high quality headphones on. Get "up" there, sit back and enjoy the trip.
