You have a good point, and I think first time listeners should listen to the album the traditional way.danielcaux wrote: Just listening to disc 2 out of the blue, without the context given in disc 1, would leave must listeners just scratching their heads and having "I don't give a f--k about this man" reactions. Storywise.
But for me, starting the album off with the 2nd disc makes for a more memorable experience. I think every Floyd fan should try it at least once.
