Pink Floyd Members and the Critics - Ummagumma

[@purplepimple2610]

I was the only kid in Simms Montana with this album. Much more interesting than what was on the radio

[@mikewolverton7904]

I loved Ummagumma since I first saw the cover.

[@chadpittman3025]

I bought the album in 1987 summer. I paid for it w money from my first paycheck from my first job. I had more fun discovering and listening to this album more than any other floyd album or any other album for that matter. Several species and grandchester meadows and the narrow way part 3 were the best. The cassette only had the studio album and one live song astronomy domine

[@johnsrous1616]

Yep. I bought the cassette in '83 and was an instant fan. I'm still unsure as to wtf an ummagumma is or why it's used as an album title. So glad I did get it. Too great of an album

[@wz2001]

Excruciating? The only thing Excruciating are the opinions of some of these critics. Especially the narrator. Ummagumma is a great album.

[@THEScottCampbell]

Wright deserved a writing credit for his keyboard solos on "Set The Controls..." Legally and musically, it's a melody and should have been credited, not that Waters would ever do that.

[@justinjames2436]

Great album

[@THEScottCampbell]

Hearing the opinions of music critics about "Ummagumma" is like hearing cows give their opinion of the "Atom Heart Mother" artwork.

[@Jack-D-Ripper]

"Ooomagoooma"? What the fuck is that? I've always heard it pronounced more gutturally and should be said like Nick Tauber said it, with an almost Northern style accent; Ummagumma! It was this album that got me turned on to Pink Floyd. I went on to buy A Saucerful of Secrets, which was an amazing album for a 14 year old to listen to. It was a real flowering experience (I still listen to it in my sixties). I do love the album Ummagumma, especially the Studio section (despite Whispering Bob's disparaging comments). I prefer it to "Dark Side of the Moon" onwards, as I started to drift away from them. They became Dad Rock. These navel-gazing "critics" just don't get what many of these albums meant to teenagers; how the music inspired creativity in people. I created loads of drawings and paintings at the time.

[@niallbroderick8436]

Although I respect your opinion, I believe you are completely wrong. Calling tdsoftm “dad rock” could possibly be the biggest insult to one of the greatest albums ever. What kind of person calls Breathe or the great gig in the sky “dad rock” it’s just simply untrue. Also animals is another album post dsoftm with masterpieces within it that convey political images very relevant to the time and today, without ever portraying the image of “dad rock”.

[@Jack-D-Ripper]

@@niallbroderick8436 It's all a matter of taste. I've come to like Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, and Wish You were Here. I've never heard one note of The Wall, and don't wan to. But I love their earlier work because it was a special time for me as a 14 to 16 year old when I got into them big time.

[@prajnachan333]

It is Cambridge slang for a sex act. Used by Moore, a friend and roadie a lot, "I'm going home for some Umma Gumma." Wright said he liked how it sounded. Take from that what you will. Fairly meaningless, really. Stupid gibberish.

[@TychoVan]

jezus these comments are toxic

i bought this in a shop called our price in the uk in 1991 £15.99 i loved most of it as a 14/15 year old kid

What the hell is "Ooomagooma"? The album title has always been pronounced phonetically. Cymbaline (NOT "Cymbeline") was recorded in 1969, so the soundtrack to Barbet Schroeder's debut feature film 'More' could not have been released in 1968 as claimed. Nor was 'Careful With that Axe Eugene' released in 1969 - the original studio version was released in late 1968 as the B-side of 'Point Me at the Sky', their last single to be released in the UK for more than a decade. Details, details, I know, but there's a hell of a lot of source material to draw on and thereby avoid such glaring errors. And why were the solo contributions by Gilmour, Mason and Wright overlooked completely? Not to mention the excellent live record, and, as Nick Tauber points out, the fascinatingly clever album cover. No mention either of why a concert version of 'Interstellar Overdrive' recorded at the time was left off the live record.... This doco seems more concerned with 'More', which preceded Ummagumma, than the subject it purports to cover🤨.

[@prajnachan333]

Umma Gumma was Cambridge slang for sex. Used primarily by Iain Moore, "I'm going home for some umma gumma." Just stupid nonsense young people always come up with. Wright said they liked how it sounded.

[@WhataboutTRUTH]

A vastly over rated band. Not for me. Each to theatre own after all.😁

This is not Pink Floyd, this is Waters

As the world's biggest Pink Floyd fan, I must say that Ummagumma is a dreadful album
