Amazon.com Essential Recording
Wish You Were Here is a song cycle dedicated to Pink Floyd's original frontman, Syd Barrett, who'd flamed out years before: two grimly funny songs about the evils of the music business ("By the way, which one's Pink?"), and two long, touching ones about the band's vanished friend. The real star of the show, though, is the production: sparkling, convoluted, designed to sound deeply oh-wow under the influence--and pretty great sober too--with David Gilmour getting lots of space for his most lyrical guitar playing ever. And, though the album is big and ambitious, even bombastic, it somehow dodges being pretentious--the Barrett tributes are honest and heartfelt, beneath all the grand gestures and stereophonic trickery. --Douglas Wolk

This is by no means my favorite Floyd CD. I like Animals and Final Cut the best. However, there is a lot of great music here. Shine on meanders a little too much but it is a great tribute to their former band mate. I love Have a Cigar and Welcome to the Machine. I read that Barrett returned to the studio while they were recording this album to rejoin the group. This is heartbreaking realizing that he was so far gone. This would be like Hulings or Peloser returning to the Hoax.
