Yeah, I hope this turns out to be good. I didn't much care for The Division Bell, but maybe something good was left off that album and will show up here. I'm buying it, though. I have the rest of their albums, so one more can't hurt.

I can't imagine Roger Waters being too involved, honestly. Maybe he'll contribute a few song lyrics or something. That'd be nice.

One can only hope that "more ambient" means more like Marooned and less like the rest of that dull album.

And no, Roger isn't involved. Slap it in the OP lest this turn out like every other discussion of this album so far.

Yeah, Roger being involved is pretty much beyond any hope, honestly, as much as I'd like it. And more like Marooned would be great. Ambient Floyd = Good Floyd.

EDIT: Rick Wright's solo album from around that time is NOT a good record, though. Talk about a snoozefest. Hopefully this sounds nothing like that.

It's got a couple good songs, but the production is Terrible. Just Terrible.

Got a date and release information now. November 10th

I went ahead and pre-ordered the blu-ray set. I have every other album from back when I was obsessed with them in high school.

Pretty neat that one of the songs is called "Autumn '68." "Summer '68" is one of my favorite Wright songs.

If by "neat" you mean "the sort of unbelievably hack poo poo an 80s metal act would do", yes

Eh, don't care enough to argue. I just think it's nice since this is supposed to be a 'tribute' for Wright. It may suck, but hopefully not.

Fletcher Memorial Home owns, but owns alone due to the solo. One of his best solos but far too short. Love the addition of the "guitar sounds" (fret noise etc) which isn't common for him.

The rest of the album bites, however. I can barely give it a second listen, and whenever I try to I give up

I like the title track and "The Gunner's Dream" a lot too. The rest depends on my mood. Sometimes I think it's a great album. Other times, I just get bored with it.

But those three songs are always nice to hear.

Sounds like something from Gilmour's second solo album to me.

What interesting music has roger waters made in the past 30 years?

Amused to Death was pretty good.

It's mainly the production that makes it sound so stale. If you take grandiose music like this and compress the hell out of it's always going to sound like a lifeless TV-movie soundtrack

A lot of The Division Bell sounds like a TV movie soundtrack. Especially "Poles Apart." That song is terrible.

As long as "La Carrera Panamerica" has existed in some form we've had an answer. MLoR owns, Obscured by Clouds owns.


Amused to Death owns, the KAOS tour owned even if the album was half-baked. The less said about his lyrics 2000-2014 the better though.

I agree with everything in this post. Momentary Lapse is pretty nice, even if it doesn't sound like Pink Floyd. KAOS is an interesting counterpoint to it, but kind of dumb.

It sounds about like I figured it would. Maybe it'll be better in context. As is, it just sounds like they chopped two minutes haphazardly out of the album and said "That's the single."

Finally listened to it all the way through. Most of the songs are pleasant, at worst. "Louder Than Words," though, that's straight up hot garbage.

"It's What We Do" is probably my favorite track. Just sounds like an extra part of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond."

It's not terrible it's just really underwhelming and they should have gone out with The Division Bell instead.

I wouldn't call it underwhelming, but I do think it should have just been a second disc in that Deluxe Divison Bell set. It definitely feels like a Bonus Disc.
