This stunning look back at Pink Floyd’s discography comprises a series of in-depth, frank, and entertaining conversations about all of the band's studio albums, including their soundtrack efforts and the instrumental/ambient The Endless River. Inside, prolific rock journalist Martin Popoff moderates discussions on each album with rock journalists and musicians who offer insights, opinions, and anecdotes about every release.

Together, the conversations comprise a unique historical overview of the band, covering everything from early albums with the iconic Syd Barrett to the songwriting tandem of Roger Waters and David Gilmour; the impeccable talents of drummer Nick Mason and multi-instrumentalist Richard Wright; those mega tours undertaken in support of the LPs; the monster success of breakthrough LP Dark Side of the Moon; interpersonal conflict; the band following Waters’ 1985 departure; and much more.

Popoff also includes sidebars that provide complete track listings, album personnel, and studios and dates. Every page is illustrated with thoughtfully curated performance and offstage photography, as well as rare memorabilia.

4.0 out of 5 stars The story of Pink Floyd, told album by album
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2020
'Pink Floyd: Album by Album' by Martin Popoff is an ebook telling the story of the bank Pink Floyd by going through their albums.

Starting with 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and going to 'The Endless River,' each chapter tells the story of how the album was made and offers a moderated discussion among different people in the music business. The tragedy of Syd Barrett stayed with the band for quite a while. The eventual split of the band from vocalist/bassist Roger Waters is here. Along with stats for each album, there are lots of archival pictures of the band, album cover, tickets and other things. I

As a fan of the band, I really liked this book. I was aware of most of the history, but not all the stories behind the albums. The photos and history were great as were the conversations.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing - Voyageur Press, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2018
Pink Floyd: Album by Album by Martin Popoff is an album by album discussion of the band Pink Floyd. Popoff has been described as the world's most famous heavy-metal journalist, though he has covered plenty of Punk and New Wave albums in his career of 7,000-plus album reviews. He has penned many books on various bands, genres of rock, and record collecting, including Voyageur Press' Rush: The Illustrated History; Metallica: The Complete Illustrated History; The Art of Metal; and The Big Book of Hair Metal. He has also worked on film documentaries about Rush and ZZ Top.

Pink Floyd is one of the biggest names in rock history. Dark Side of the Moon remained on Billboard for fourteen years and sold over forty-five million copies. The Wall took over the radio on boom boxes of my high school years. Animals remained one of my favorite albums of all times and I remember wearing out a copy of Wish You Were Here on 8-Track. Pink Floyd offered a something different than what Van Halen, AC/DC, and other hard rock groups offered. With the exception of "The Nile Song," there was not much heavy and hard with Pink Floyd, but it fit right in with the rock of the day.

Popoff covers Pink Floyd's discography in a richly illustrated large size book. Instead of writing about the albums and songs with his thoughts, Popoff turns to interviews. Dennis Dunaway the bassist, songwriter, and conceptual artist for the original Alice Cooper group is interviewed for Pink Floyd's first two albums -- Piper at the Gate of Reason and Saucerful of Secrets. Roie Avin of The Prog Rock covers the some of the later albums. Three musicians made up the interview on Animals. Not to be excluded, Popoff also includes interviews with sound engineers to complement the words of musicians and the media.

A very well done discography filled with first-person experiences with the band and all it works to include live albums such as Pompeii. A very well executed project that produces results that will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in Pink Floyd or their music will appreciate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pink Floyd
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2018
I could complete my review of this book in only a few words - it does what it says on the tin - but that wouldn't really do this book the justice it deserves.
I actually saw this book the day after my friend confirmed that he had bought tickets to Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets for October. Being a bit young to have seen the actual band live and having to rely on the two really good tribute bands for my live fix to date, I am just a little bit excited. Anyway.. I digress...
Admittedly, I am not the biggest fan of Pink Floyd. Indeed, there are albums that I actually don't really like and also ones I am a bit unfamiliar with so there was a lot to be gained for me personally from this book. Whilst I can't vouch for the accuracy of what is contained, it is definitely all very interesting and certainly fits in with what I do know. There are so many interviews with so many important but not well recognised people who were but cogs in the mighty machine but instrumental in making the music what it turned out to be.
I could list the albums and spout on about things I learned. I could wax lyrical about some of the things I didn't know but I'm not going to. It's a relatively short book. A dipper as I call them - good to dip in and out of when you have a moment. But, for me, it was also an excuse to rediscover old favourites and a blooming great trip down memory lane. A must for devout fans and a great book for anyone mildly interested in either Pink Floyd specifically or music history generally.
My thanks go to the Publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just essential for fans of Floyd, but for music fans!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 15, 2019

Martin Popoff's epic guide to Pink Floyd's albums is a brilliant read and well worth a purchase, not just for fans of Pink Floyd, but for music fans in general. From one of rock music's most legendary bands, prepare to be transported through half a century of so many diverse eras of Pink Floyd with 15 studio albums, from the early days led by Syd Barrett's songwriting, then a transition from psychedelic to progressive rock in the late 60s and early 70s - followed by Roger Waters' lyrical concepts in albums such as The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, leading up to David Gilmour leading the band from 1985 to 1995 both in the studio and in concert, finally concluding with their final studio release the Endless River in 2014. Add to extraordinary interviews with both musicians and journalists about each of Pink Floyd's records, along with some brilliant photos of the band from the respective timeframe to go with the album review and discussion, and that adds to the quality of an incredible book. Well worth a purchase!
