PINK FLOYD

Division Bell is the best of the Gilmour era. It's a solid 5/10.

way to keep up his high hopes

i like this more!

This is okay. The synths sound fairly chintzy throughout and Mason seems to just be playing drumrolls as opposed to playing DRUMS. But there's definitely "essence de Floyd" in this. Gilmour sounds great.

I suspect they get a session drummer to okay the drum parts and just paste in a few rolls from Mason every 8 bars to remind people who they are listening to.

Okay= play

pretty cool that this even has a bit of the 'essence of floyd.' I wish Jimmy Page could get his shit together enough to produce something even approximately of what he used to be capable of.

there's definitely "essence de Floyd" in this

hate to be that guy but how it can have essence de Floyd without Waters on it is beyond me

hate to be that guy but how it can have essence de Floyd without Waters Barrett on it is beyond me

j/k

gilmour >>>>>> waters

just make up your own mean lyrics about ronald reagan!

listened to most of this new one last night. i didn't hate it, but it is occasionally hilarious in its floydian cut n paste.

just make up your own mean lyrics about ronald reagan!

As someone born in the early 70s, it's funny to go back and listen to Animals.

"Hey, you, JIMMY CARTER. Ha ha, charade you are…" and to think the punk rockers didn't like this band.

The punk rockers were lying, they ruddy loved "Animals"

i thought Pink Floyd was a punk band when i was little because of the artwork for The Wall and the song "Another Brick in the Wall" which was the only Pink Floyd song I'd ever heard

(my friends older bro had a silkscreen Wall banner the type you'd get at county fairs)

A woman in overalls sits inside a wooden booth, pulling tapers down on a cherry-red candle with a ringed hook. A paper plate with a funnel cake sits on a barrel beside her while a silkscreen banner depicting a screaming face coming through a brick wall billows in the breeze on the side.

<i>(my friends older bro had a silkscreen Wall banner the type you'd get at county fairs)</i>

these were the best. do they still do this? there should be a thread or website commemorating rock stuff from fairs.

Feel like pointing out that Waters' concert film of The Wall tour premiered last month, looking forward to that a lot more than I am to hearing this Gilmour snoozefest

i kinda like how boring this is tbh

I wanted to get lost in the dream but I was listening on spotify & so every couple of songs I'd get BALKSHDGLSDHG listen to the new Marianne Faithfull album AFVOGUHSFHDG which kinda broke the vibe (I should listen to the new Marianne Faithfull album though)

also I was reading The Rules of Attraction last night and at one point a guy walks into a bathroom and

PINK FLOYD RULES

is written on the mirror and I said to myself

PINK FLOYD RULES

^^IIRC, "Us and Them" appears in the text later on.

yeah one of the characters has it on loop on the car during a long drive

So, is the extra 33 minutes or whatever that's on the deluxe Blu-Ray or DVD version worth, like, double the price? Anyone?

you get them rocking out to a song that rips the keyboard line from "Sex Farm".

'endless river' > "echoes" [because there's no lame waters "funk" breakdown]

The funk breakdown is the best part!

(at least, on the Pompeii version -- easily one of my favorite Floyd moments)

(because it RULES)

haha xp

So wright and mason are on this right?

The new one I mean

i kinda dig this stuff, i think it's better if you think of it as organic, live instrument ambient music w/o the expectations of a "rock band"

now almost interested in listening to something by Pink Floyd apart from those two early-70s BBC shows with the Peel intros

Haha I almost said it was balaeric but honestly I still have no idea what that means

Everything from "Windowlicker" to "I am the Music Man"

keep going matt, I'm almost there

simon reynolds in the wire: "remarkably, this last gasp from glimour and company resembles nothing less than a MDMA damaged jj cale album produced by bryan ferry and fka twigs"

dynamite hack there from SR, one short hop away from band x = band y + acid

i may have made that up completely :)

This new one works for me more than anything they released since, well, Animals but it also confirms that Pink Floyd ruled only when they were a more democratic band. PF as a pseudo-solo vehicle, whether it be the Barrett, Waters or Gilmour version, just sounds incomplete in comparison.

What you say about Waters or Gilmour makes sense, they complimented each other. What you're saying about Barrett is INSANE. Piper at the Gates of Dawn doesn't rule????

Barrett Floyd was more democratic than Waters or (especially) Gilmour Floyd (mainly because Gilmour Floyd, at least on AMLOR, had no other Floyd members).

Barrett Floyd also featured songs written by Waters and Wright, and sung by them! And is also totally faultless.

Okay, you're right, Barrett Floyd isn't the same situation as with the Waters and Gilmour Floyds. But I've never really warmed to the Piper era (except for Astronomy Domine and See Emily Play) so nope, it doesn't rule for me.

u need an oil slide projector

i'm not that big on most of the syd stuff either, but that doesn't stop it from RULING

^^^
u&k

I'll say it again, because I played it again in the car:

http://albumsthatneverwere.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/pink-floyd-shape-of-questions-to-heaven.html

You need this.

This is the reimagined second album with Syd. Side 1 is perfect, side 2 loses it a little but is still great.
