This book combines literary and film criticism with musical hermeneutics and discourse analysis to illustrate how sonic information contributes to the detached listener’s interpretations of the discerning messages of Pink Floyd’s monumental recordings. Phil Rose's primary argument is that the band’s album’s words, sounds, and images collaborate to convey one fundamental concern, which—to paraphrase the music journalist Karl Dallas—is to affirm human values against everything that conspires against them.
