I read that the gist of this album is unpublished work from the Division Bell sessions and got kind of turned off because I could not get into that album. However, if it does have a markedly different "ambient" feel compared to Division Bell then it might actually be pretty interesting at least.

It could be postulated that Pink Floyd actually has more bad albums than good. Bad: Saucerful of Secrets More Ummagumma Obscured by Clouds The Final Cut Momentary Lapse of Reason Division Bell Good: Piper at the Gates of Dawn DSOTM Wish You Were Here Animals The Wall Debatable: Meddle (let's be honest, this album sucks outside of Echoes and One of These Days) Atom Heart Mother This is clearly my own opinion of course hahaha.

Rev. Bleech_ posted:Gadzooks it's wrong all the way down. Sorry wasn't really counting the live album, my bad. As for Obscured by Clouds, its got one or two good songs. Only one I'm remembering is "Uh...wot's the deal", but it's pretty obvious it's a soundtrack album with a lot of forgettable tunes. I want to say one song is on there twice? One that has lyrics and the other that doesn't?

Abu Dave posted:I enjoy Not Now John not as a serious song but as a totally ridiculous piece of entertainment that it is. His voice never really changed though? He always kind of sounded like poo poo. I read somewhere that one of the first real divides of the band came during the recording of DSoTM because Waters wanted to sing in more songs. The other members of the band, who I guess held more weight at that time, persuaded him not to; but the egotistical maniac that is Roger Waters still was butthurt about it. I also remember he got super pissed during the Live 8 reunion concert that the other members vetoed one of his songs because it was inappropriate for a relief charity (I think Another Brick in the Wall pt. 2, but it may have been something a little darker like Mother or something). I love him and can barely listen to non-Waters Floyd but the dude is a total rear end in a top hat. Syd era best era though.

Finally took the time to listen to the audio clips. They all sound so cheesy that they almost go into vaporwave territory. I doubt that was their intent though.

This is going to solve the problem of 'what is the worst Pink Floyd album?'. So at least we can take that from this.

Eh! Frank posted:MLoR gets a huge pass from me due to "Learning To Fly", "On The Turning Away" (which I consider to be one of PF's top five songs), and "Sorrow". Don't know about worst, but to me, "Obscured By Clouds" is the most forgettable. Thank you. Another person who thinks Obscured By Clouds is Not That Good Like, Wot's uh...the deal is a great song, but everything else sucks. The same song even shows up twice for crying out loud

Gilmour is a goon and had been seeing the 'is Pink Floyd dad rock?' threads in GBS; he wanted to affirm that yes, they are in fact dad rock.
