A Saucerful of Secrets is an uneven album that could glibly be called Pink Floyd's sophomore jinx, though it's a bit more complicated than that. The problems behind the band's second outing can be summed up in two words: Syd Barrett. Or rather, the absence thereof. The creative force behind Floyd's first distinctively baroque collection is credited with just one track here ("Jugband Blues") and the occasion marked the beginning of his decades-long withdrawal from public life, battles with mental illness, and burgeoning cult legend. What's left is essentially the first album by the "classic" Floyd lineup, though they're understandably a long way from their focused 1970s prime (as witnessed by the 11-minute title track); the dense sound and effects collages that are mere seasoning on later Floyd records are too often the whole point here. Roger Waters barely hints at his later glories on "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun," a would-be stellar journey that's ultimately rather pedestrian. An album that seems alternately driven by a genuine experimental spirit one moment and creative panic the next. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews of A Saucerful of Secrets

Very good
A Saucerful of Secrets is Pink Floyd's second album, and the first without Syd Barrett. While many reviewers dismiss it as a failed attempt to capture the style that Pink Floyd had while Syd Barrett was still in charge, I like the album.

The first track, "Let There Be More Light" reminds me of "Brain Damage" in the way that it switches from slow, gloomy passages to soaring, upbeat ones.

The next song, "Remember a Day" is one of the very few (under 5) songs written by Wright. It has a good keyboard part, and I like it.

"Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" is a gloomy, muted song by Waters.

"Corporal Clegg" is upbeat, and sounds like something written by Barrett.

The next track, "A Saucerful of Secrets" is an instrumental. The song starts off with random drum beats/guitar screams and resolves into a melody with what sounds like a choir.

"See-Saw" is the only reason that I didn't give this album 5 stars. It can be best described as filler.

The last track, "Jugband Blues" is Syd Barrett's last song with Pink Floyd. It was originally recorded as a track for Piper at the Gates of Dawn, but was placed on here instead. It features a Salvation Army band, who were apparently told to "do whatever you want." I like it...

Overall, A Saucerful of Secrets is more than just a "sophomore jinx."


a sad farewell to Syd Barret's last album with the band...
A Saucerful of Secrets, recorded in 1968. a year after their amazing 1967 debut "Piper at the Gates of Dawn". Syd Barret's last time with the original band.

"a saucerful of secrets" is easily one of the greatest Pink Floyd records ever. having some of the best guitar playing from David Gilmour... if you thought Comfortably Numb (which isn't even a very good guiter solo) was good, wait till you hear the title-track "a saucerful of secrets". 12 amazing minutes of the best guitar playing from Gilmour. "Let there be more light" starts out with a guitar and the drums. lyrics are wonderful with streaming echoes of the vocals from Syd Barret. maybe something deticated to The Beatles? they sing "Lucy in the sky!..". "Remember a day" starts out with a haunting piano, then busts out into some drums and vocals. "Set the controls for the heart of the sun" is probably one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs ever. also featured is a LIVE version on my personal favourite Pink Floyd album, "Ummagumma". "Corporal clegg" is one of the worser songs on the album. not bad at all, very experimental and unique. just doesn't compare to the others. "A Saucerful of secrets" is easily the best song on the album. once again i'll mention the amazing guitar solo. the best. the best i say! also featured a LIVE version on Ummagumma. "See saw" is also like "Corporal clegg" a bit. while this one is also interesting and experimental, it falls short from the others."Jugband Blues" is a PERFECT ending for the album and Syd Barret. very slow, melodic, and sad. one of the greatest.

so there you have it, A Saucerful of Secrets is easily one of the greatest Pink Floyd albums. this album should be getting the respect "Dark Side of the Moon" is.


'The sorcerer's secrets' is a bad,bad album
I have never liked harry potter books but this music I got 'the sorcerer's secrets' is REALLY horrible. It sounds like someone has put a gallon of manure on the disks so muffled is the sounds and also REALLY (...) OREFUL, YES SO BAD.

I hope the sorcerer will repent and shut up cuz his secrets are VERY BAD AND UGLY SOUNDS.
