I love it.īack in the late ‘90s it was difficult to come by Pink Floyd albums where I lived (small town in Brazil).

These are also the types of songs I really enjoy while high because it enhances that feel.Ītom Heart Mother is definitely up there with DSotM and Wish You Were Here for me. Both musically awesome and enjoyable, but able to create this sort of very specific experience and feeling where I can sort of picture things and feel like there's progress to make in life and in music and it's happening right now. This sort of transformative journey that you're on. While Dopesmoker is a heavy riff-fest that gets my leg tapping, it still relies on the feeling of moving to another place. I feel like it's sort of a prog equivalent to the stoner metal anthem Dopesmoker by Sleep. It's not really a song that I hum or enjoy as much on a musical level (not to say it's not musically competent, it is), but one that I absolutely love to put on while taking a walk in the rain or driving in the night. I don't know much about music theory and thus I'm completely and utterly unqualifed to talk about this, but AHM feels like you're in a different place afterwards. Not that the other albums aren't journeys in a sense too (Echoes springs to mind as another very journey-ish song). This is especially evident in the title track though. It feels like a journey (not the band, the concept of going on a journey), which makes it a unique Floyd song/album.
