Customer Reviews Excellent Psychadelic Rock . Full of mood and excellent writing, this is an excellent album to start into The Legendary Pink Dots with. Wank. Structureless caterwaulings with a substrata of faintly ridiculous, poorly-disciplined instrumentation. Absolute tosh of the lo-fiest order. If this isn't not music, then I don't know what isn't. They all deserve a punch in the nose, and would make poor hamburger. LPD go professional The followup to 1995's psychological masterpiece "From Here You'll Watch the World Go By," Hallway takes a heavier yet more professional approach to blowing minds. This isn't the Dots' best, but it's better than most band's best. It really is a giant step forward, though one that may all too easily confirm critics' derogatory "techno Pink Floyd" tag. "The Hanged Man," however, sounds more like Barrett-era Floyd than the Dots of old ever could have managed. And on songs like "Sterre," Dots' mastermind Edward KaSpel sounds downright poppy. "Hallway of the Gods" is probably most notable as an addition to the Dots' catalog, however, as marking the first time KaSpel and Company have ever really sounded like a real BAND. On songs like "The Saucers Are Coming," the Dots actually jam. These new rock elements, combined with the improved production, make "Hallway of the Gods" as good a place as any to start a Dots collection. .
