I believe that Pulse by Pink Floyd is the first double album I've reviewed so far. Despite having the high price of $34.99 (~$76 in 2025), it debuted at #1.
Pulse is a live album which I often have mixed feelings about. On the one hand, they can have different energy than a studio album, but they can also go awry with bad mixing or extended and aimless modifications to songs. This album is kind of neither of those. I don't think the energy of the songs is improved compared to the studio versions, and there aren't that many changes to the live songs. Pink Floyd was a Progressive Rock band which are known for their extended solos in live performances. This album lacks those for the most part, which I'm grateful for, but lacking changes to the songs removes the point of a live album.
According to the internet's brain, early versions of the CD album included a battery-powered flashing LED. A pulsing LED, one would say.
I don't think that this album amounts to much. If you like Pink Floyd, you might as well check it out, but I wouldn't cancel any other plans you have to listen to it.
