Pink Floyd - Breathe Wish You Were Here

Review by Joel Price

Breathe Wish You Were Here is an iconic album by Pink Floyd, released in 1975. The album is a tribute to the band's founding member, Syd Barrett, who left the band in 1968 due to mental health issues. The album is a masterpiece and is considered one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

The album features some of the band's most popular tracks, including "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Wish You Were Here." The album is a concept album, and the songs are linked by a common theme of absence and disillusionment. The album explores themes of loneliness, isolation, and the loss of innocence.

The album is a beautiful blend of acoustic and electric instruments, with David Gilmour's guitar work being particularly outstanding. The album's production is also noteworthy, with the use of sound effects and studio techniques adding to the overall ambiance of the album.
