What album do you consider their masterpiece vs what do you find yourself listening to more?

Like for instance, Dark Side of the Moon, basically a perfect album and like a lot of albums from them you need to listen all the way through to appreciate it.

But Dark Side of the Moon also gets a bit boring because it's kind of one note in my opinion. It's a double edged sword. It makes it feel like a masterfully designed cohesive album, but you can't have true cohesion without a bit of sameyness.

The wall is great for a different reason.

It's a wild sort of story of an album, but it's got lower lows than the DSotM (which basically had no lows) but arguably higher highs.

Then you have animals which to me is like almost a masterpiece. The parts I love about it are in some ways better than dsotm and the wall, like the part with the acoustic guitar while the dogs bark gives me chills every time, but I'd say 50% of the listening experience of animals is not that great.

Wish you were here is great but really it's like 3 and a half songs when you break it down. Shine on you crazy diamond is like more than half the album put at the beginning and end of it.

It's enjoyable but when you look at it objectively they wrote like 3 or so songs with one of them being massive and bookending both parts of the album.

Point is I couldn't pick my favorite album. They all have strengths. I think my favorite album is what I wish animals was. The potential I hear in animals, if it's best parts were 100% of the rest of the album I might like Animals the best.

Anyone else' personal tastes with Pink Floyd that you want to weigh in, why you rate one album above another?
