Despite the Floyd's dislike, the album isn't as bad as it's painted by various sources, and is certainly not the worst Pink Floyd album.Ītom Heart Mother was released in 1970, Pink Floyd still in their experimental prime and ready to tinker even more with modern music. But really, Atom Heart Mother isn't that much of a lazy alcoholic. So is this album the wino that's too lazy to move out, out of the children? In the Pink Floyd's eyes, yes. Now generally parents don't play favourites with their litter, but poor little Atom Heart Mother has been singled out by them as one of their worst albums. The latter is a result of going into a studio and recording a bunch of songs. One of them is the result of gettin' it on. This was a trend that would continue on subsequent covers throughout the 1970s and beyond.The members of Pink Floyd have two sets of children.

The cover was designed by Hipgnosis, and was the first one not to feature the band’s name on the cover, or contain any photographs of the band anywhere. Ron Geesin, who had already influenced and collaborated with Roger Waters, contributed to the title track and received a then-rare outside songwriting credit. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, England, and was the band’s first album to reach number 1 in the UK, while it reached number 55 in the US, eventually going gold there.Ī remastered CD was released in 1994 in the UK and the United States, and again in 2011. It was released by Harvest on 2 October 1970 in the UK, and by Capitol on 10 October 1970 in the US. Atom Heart Mother is the fifth studio album by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd.
