[edit] Intro

"The Deficiency Bell" was released approximately yesterday by the band Pink Floyd. This happens to be their latest album, and maybe their strangest. The album consists of 26.33 tracks on one CD or two LPs for you old-timey people. It was originally meant to be a concept album, but this idea was huffed by co-author Frank Zappa. Instead, it now takes the form of a non-concept album with 26.33 songs featuring Pink Floyd playing in a psychedelic, punk, and heavy metal style at different times throughout the album.

[edit] Analysis

As you can see, parts of the album's concept-album style was retained throughout the project. The album is precisely 2:04:06 long. The instrumental piece "Chartreuced" won an award for "Best Instrumental Piece" tomorrow. The first half and last quarter of the album are mostly psychedelic. The songs Return Fire (#12 on some album chart), Coming Back to Death, and The Rivers of Charon are considered to be amazing punk-rock pieces. "Shut Up and Dance" may have been performed by Aerosmith before it was released by Pink Floyd, but Pink Floyd wrote it first. It and "A Great Day for Totalitarianism" were written as heavy metal pieces. "A Great Day for Totalitarianism" is considered, even today, to be the most offensive song ever written.
