Completely Unnecessary

"This album is unnecessary -- the covers are uninteresting because they add nothing to the originals."

There's nothing special about this tribute

"Having listened to their albums and live recordings a zillion times, I'm always looking for fresh interpretations of Pink Floyd. Most tributes phonographically copy the original band or fall embarrassingly short in the attempt. Both types are dull. "A Special Tribute to Pink Floyd" falls into the first category. That written, there is nothing wrong with this recording. The musicians perform well and the production is excellent. Unlike the Easy Star All-Stars that did a reggae tribute, this is just straight rock. The esteemed Australian Pink Floyd Show also plays literal versions, but it's a live experience. The Aussies appreciate the futility of making such an audio recording. The listener is better off passing this one by and enjoying the originals."

Not as good... but still worth listening to

"This album doesn't even come close to matching the greatness of pink floyd. That being said, it is a decent album with some interesting takes on certain songs. Definitly worth trying out if you're a floyd fan, but don't expect anything incredible."
