Sadly, the last true Floyd album was Animals, and even then the cracks were beginning to appear in the edifice, so, make that Wish You Were Here then. Released around September 1975, some 8 short years after Piper.
i love animals and actually admired the final cut, which alienated a lot of fans--it's depressing but the songs stick with me some 35 years later, which i guess is the sign of a good record.
Keeping with Floyd.

Thx to Slaw for this recommendation.

The Wall remastered 180g.

Truly a sonic masterpiece. Very well balanced with no tip towards any region, just supremely neutral allowing the music to flow.

As an aside I caught the Wall live in London on the original Floyd tour for it.
Lots of opinions on Floyd, good that nobody is wrong. But Dark Side is by far the best, Animals was more palatable as a teenager and didn't age as well as the others to me, love The Wall and incredible sonics. I couldn't follow as much when they split. Stayed mad at Waters for years (same with Byrne for breaking up the THeads) but I got over most of it.

Surprised at some of the folks having an issue with the AP 200g, I freaking love the stuff. Dead flat, very quiet, phenomenal SQ. Zero quality issues out of maybe 65 titles of 200g 33 and 45. No warping at all isĀ 
I do have some vintage Mofi that is not anything special. My OP of Katy Lied is better than my NM vintage Mofi copy. The Mofi version is flat sounding. But I have some that I really like.
