Tongue-in-cheek title aside, this short-but-sweet compilation makes a convincing
case for latter-day Pink Floyd as solid students of rock-pop songcraft.

Their reputation as space cadets and (in the very early days) acid heads is a million miles away from the expertly crafted, melodic accessibility of the Pink Floyd presented here.

Sure, they were sonic explorers, but first and foremost they were a crowd-pleasing
rock band (whether they liked it or not).

From the longing ode to Syd Barrett "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" to the forceful
social commentary of "Sheep" and "Another Brick In The Wall," the band shows off
their compositional chops over and above their considerable instrumental facility.

As a nod to the present, there's even a remix of the classic "Money," with a slightly more forceful rhythmic slant added.
