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...

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.

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.

"That's interesting...why do you think you feel that way about David Gilmour?"

"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

this is some real ghost-of-christmas-future shit for The War on Drugs

kinda scared to listen to this tbh
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.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 10 November 2014 19:22 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Monday, 10 November 2014 23:57 (nine years ago) link
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.
― 29 facepalms, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 12:32 (nine years ago) link
Okay= play
― 29 facepalms, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 12:33 (nine years ago) link
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.
― calstars, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 12:37 (nine years ago) link
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

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.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 15:00 (nine years ago) link
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.
― pplains, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 15:05 (nine years ago) link
The punk rockers were lying, they ruddy loved "Animals"
― Mark G, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 15:16 (nine years ago) link
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
― punk rocketeer (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 11 November 2014 15:31 (nine years ago) link
(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

So, is the extra 33 minutes or whatever that's on the deluxe Blu-Ray or DVD version worth, like, double the price? Anyone?
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Wednesday, 12 November 2014 00:31 (nine years ago) link
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]
― reggie (qualmsley), Wednesday, 12 November 2014 00:56 (nine years ago) link
The funk breakdown is the best part!
(at least, on the Pompeii version -- easily one of my favorite Floyd moments)
