I know all about Barrett's craziness and his reluctant expulsion from Pink Floyd, but have only heard his second album, Barrett. This debut album is a bit thinner, less sure of what it wants to say. The first half of the album is quirky, ragged fun; it seems like the thrill is gone during the last six songs. I know I should assess the album on its own merits and not compare it to its younger brother, but I knew Barrett first. That's love, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Favorite tracks: "Love You," "Here I Go," "Octopus."
