A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS (1968)

I'm a huge fan of this album.. And I definitely feel as though it is one of their darkest ever, if not the darkest, due to Syd's increasing separation and alienation. You can definitely hear it.
I wouldn't necessarily refer to "Corporal Clegg" as filler. True, its not one of their best tunes, but I think that the tone itself, with the strange disjointed musicality and ethereal backing vocals, along with an almost "proto-Punk" theme to the lyrics. Not to mention the quite insane use of sounds throughout.
Nice review, either way.
