tiny sample size but that makes 'the division bell' sound like 'wish you were here'

this song is boring in a sort of comforting way that rules

stumbled upon a dailymotion trove of shreds style videos, some pretty funny examples (I'm easy). Floyd gets the treatment here:

"new" one is the best floyd album since the wall i'd say. going almost all instrumental was a wise decision

Best Album Since Blood On The Tracks

blood on the tracks rules

I can't tell if the new album is excellent or just excellently boring. . . . I fell asleep during my listen last night though which I think was a good thing? It's sounded like an album long riff on the opening of Shine on You Crazy Diamond which isn't bad

PINK FLOYD RULES!
just had to get that off my chest.

This is a concept album about Pink Floyd.

I have it but haven't had a listen yet, putting it off I guess.

I think it's probably better than half of both division bell and momentary lapse of reason anyway.
― akm, Sunday, 9 November 2014 17:04 (nine years ago) link
It's fine. Which makes it better than Momentary Lapse, for sure. Sadly, like all of Gilmour-era Floyd, it doesn't rule.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 9 November 2014 17:07 (nine years ago) link
his solo album is still better than both of those!
― akm, Sunday, 9 November 2014 17:23 (nine years ago) link
Yup.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 9 November 2014 17:48 (nine years ago) link
I guess I'll be giving this record a miss, then!

Didn't they already do that with Wish You Were Here and The Wall to a large extent?
― glumdalclitch, Sunday, 9 November 2014 19:18 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, to a large extent. But this one has self conscious nods to earlier to earlier tunes. And Nick even gets his goodbye drum solo ala Ringo on The End.
― 29 facepalms, Sunday, 9 November 2014 19:25 (nine years ago) link
yeah but it's like at the beginning of the album
― akm, Monday, 10 November 2014 02:01 (nine years ago) link
well, I'm working from home because they closed our office because of a blizzard, seems like a good day to check out the new Pink Floyd album that RULES

honestly i'm totally digging this so far! i think there's been about 4 minutes of vocals in the last 30-40 minutes....this is oceanic total 90s ambient floyd....almost reminds me like if floyd had done a weird mix comp of the jammy parts of 90s concerts...
― punk rocketeer (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 10 November 2014 17:07 (nine years ago) link
also, i guess i'm more inclined to be charitable just because it's been made so explicit that this is the end of the band...and not just out of sentimentality, just trying to appreciate what Pink Floyd was, and how distinctive they sounded and how there will never be another phenomenon like Pink Floyd in the history of music...
wow "Nervana" is positively heavy rock, this kinda came out of nowhere
― punk rocketeer (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 10 November 2014 17:09 (nine years ago) link
Even though the Floyd of my youth was the Gilmour-led Floyd, I find it all too tasteful and incredibly dull to consider it anything but a long extended sad coda on their career. At least it's definitively over. But the band I think of as PINK FLOYD ended in 1983.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 10 November 2014 17:18 (nine years ago) link
see i like momentary lapse of reason and 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"
― punk rocketeer (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 10 November 2014 17:33 (nine years ago) link
I have zero expectations of rocking when it comes to David Gilmour in the past 30 years.

"He's done much for the headless guitar industry, it's true..."
― Don A Henley And Get Over It (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 10 November 2014 17:54 (nine years ago) link
He ruled until he got blown away by his first listen to Brothers In Arms and stopped rocking.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 10 November 2014 17:54 (nine years ago) link
yeah I like this but it's worth noting that my first Floyd was Momentary Lapse of Reason radio singles (& tbrr my first floyd album was Delicate Sound of Thunder) so this is like some recesses of the mind maaaaan thing for me

along similar lines, i have never actually heard the division bell -- just looked at the cover and said nope
― mookieproof, Monday, 10 November 2014 19:17 (nine years ago) link
Division Bell is the best of the Gilmour era. It's a solid 5/10.

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.
