Pink Floyd recorded an album that was too weird for them

After the immediate worldwide success of the album Dark Side of the Moon and the lengthy tour that followed its release, Pink Floyd went on to make another chart-topping moneymaker and fast.

But when the Dark Side tour ended in June of 1973, the band took a break. Members went their own ways for four months.

By the time the members of Pink Floyd reconvened at Abbey Road Studios to record their next album, they realized they had no idea what to record next. How does a band top itself after they have made one of the best-selling albums of all time?

If the band is Pink Floyd, they record an experimental concept piece without the use of any musical instruments. Today, let's take a closer look at Household Items, Pink Floyd's "lost" album that ended up being too weird for the acid rockers.
