Oh yeah?

Apparently this double disc--an obligatory purchase for all hipsters
on its release in 1969--isn't too highly regarded by the Floyd
themselves these days ("Ummagumma-- what a disaster!", Roger Waters is
said to have remarked); but it's one of the most adventurous
mainstream rock ventures of all time, and certainly the Floyd's best
stab at being avant-garde.

he studio album is where the real problems start. With each band
member given as much free license as they can to screw around and
experiment, the songs often tend toward being extremely avant-garde.
It also, unfortunately, means that the members with less songwriting
experience under their belt also contribute.
