Our Take

Nick Mason, the legendary drummer for Pink Floyd, has stepped out from behind the kit to deliver his solo album "Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports." And what a strange and delightful journey it is.

The album kicks off with "Can't Get My Motor to Start," a quirky track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Mason's drumming is as tight as ever, but it's his collaboration with Carla Bley that really shines. Bley's jazzy, off-kilter melodies and lyrics bring a unique touch to the album, elevating it from a simple side project to a work of art.

Tracks like "I Was Wrong" and "Do Ya" showcase Mason's ability to seamlessly blend genres, with elements of rock, jazz, and even a touch of prog rock coming together in a surprisingly cohesive way. It's clear that Mason is having fun with this album, and it's infectious.

The standout track has to be "Boo To You Too," a fun and funky number that will have you tapping your foot and nodding your head along with the beat. It's catchy, it's quirky, and it's everything you could want from a Nick Mason solo album.

Overall, "Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports" is a delightful romp through the mind of one of rock's greatest drummers. It may not be Pink Floyd, but it certainly stands on its own as a unique and enjoyable listening experience. Highly recommended for fans of Mason, Bley, or just good music in general.
