LSD doesn't make anyone geniuses. You'll find more LSD bums that never did anything with their lives than you'll find "geniuses" made so by LSD. All LSD does is stimulate the imagination a mind already has to work with. That's why one songwriter will take LSD and come up with "The End" (The Doors), another will take it and come up with "Slip Inside This House" (13th Floor Elevators), and another will come up with "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "I am the Walrus" (The Beatles) and Syd will come up with Astronomy Domine, Interstellar Overdrive, See Emily Play and Bike. Same with the adverse effect of LSD when it comes to it's casualties, one will fall into a mental hell of devils and demons because they grew up in Southern Christian environment (Roky Erickson) and someone like Syd will just regress to a reclusive, revisited permanent childhood in his mother's basement. It doesn't make anyone smarter, or plant ideas into someone's head out of the ether, it just opens the flood glates of someone's own imagination, that's it.

The important thing for Syd was to write good songs. You can daydream with her music, it carried you away and created a new world. The success of this album (even more than the previous one) stems from the excellent balance between sound exploration and an obvious skill in writing texts !

With every uncovered gem of Syd's I discover I feel like I've found yet another artifact of a previous civilization that existed. Such original sound and outstanding lyrics as usual.

if he never left floyd they would be one of my favorite bands. but this way i was always put off by them despite liking some songs because of the constant underlying feelings of emptiness and absence that i got from in their most famous work and artwork, now i know it’s because syd was gone, but it’s so strongly felt. I fewl like if he stayed sane they would have been so much greater.

since,1979 and still listing to syd.

That's just a stupid comment with no substance. David is a far superior guitar player to Syd, and I'm not saying Syd wasn't great but not quite in the same league as Gilmour. It was David and Rick who produced the album and made the songs work. They added a lot of work to the songs. If you listen to Syd's first album Madcap Laughs (also produced by David but that time with Roger Waters) it was less produced and more raw but still great. But these two albums wouldn't have worked without the help of David, Roger and Rick being on hand. Syd was not stable at the time and was hell to work with and very hard to get anything done. But he was their friend and they wanted to help him.

This one of the songs I put on when I wake up in the morning ! Idk ... it completely changes my day 💕
