the new single.. 2014 - Side 3, pt. 4: Allons-y (1)

hmm..

it sounds like somethng from flight of the navigator.. and not in a good. way. and it's really short. it's a weird pick of a song for a "single"

I'm gonna put it on iPod so I can crank it in car on way to work to really give it a go.

I mean I love David's lead, but "noodling"... not so much.

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."

This actually sounds less like a Division Bell outtake, and more like an outtake from Gilmour's first solo album. Which is, you know, okay with me. As a "single", well, good luck finding the "single"s in the post-1970 back catalogue. Sounds more like a chunk cut out of a longer piece

It's a good album for what it is. "It's What We Do" is straight out of Shine On and for most fans will probably be the high point of the album.

Rest in peace, Richard Wright, and rest in peace, Pink Floyd.

It's a really weird album. It's like a band doing a tribute to themselves, riffing on their classics without them being direct covers. Makes sense with the theme, maybe, but still odd.

So I picked up my vinyl and cd / bluray deluxe edition yesterday, and listening to the vinyl now, I'll have to say that it's the best album from 2014 for me, and a great Pink Floyd album at a whole. Then again, I like "The Division Bell", and "Marooned" is one of my favourite songs (together with "Echoes" and "Atom Heart Mother Suite" and some stuff from their earlier days), so this is all fapalicious, eargasms and goosebumps for me.

True, but I have to say that I've been waiting for him to truly open up on a solo for a long, long time. And it looks like I'll be waiting forever.

I've always thought that the solo in High Hopes was a great way for the band to go out. "Louder than Words" is nothing compared to that.

I am sad.

Actually, Gilmour's High Hopes solo from the second disc of "Remember That Night", noted as "At the BBC Mermaid Theatre Concert" is spectacular. He runs the whole spectrum there, and the pathos in the "quiet section" is breathtaking.

That's what gets me. I know what he's capable of doing, and I've seen so many quotes where he complained that he never gets to express himself musically...and then when he has the chance, he just doesn't take it to the next level anymore.

I listened to it last night after work and I thought the first half of the album was great. Somewhere in the second half it felt like it lost steam, and I really didn't enjoy Louder Than Words. :(

What's wrong with Pulse? I have it on DVD and love to stick it in every now and then to relax. And Remember That Night is awesome if only because David Bowie performs with Gilmour on Comfortably Numb as well as Arnold Layne.

Endless River is a nice epilogue to Pink Floyd's work, I think. Not their best, but not their worst stuff either, just a nice little final-farewell album.

I really thought this was going to be a snooze-fest of sanitized guitar noodling, so I prepared for the worst, but it's actually not bad. I see Popmarket has the vinyl ($32.99), CD/DVD ($27.99), and CD/blu-ray ($29.99) version on sale today if anyone has been thinking of picking it up and wants to save a little (the 2xLP version is normally $44): https://www.popmarket.com/popmarket/details/35398310?feature_id=35110214

The same thing wrong with the rest of the 1994 tour: overblown without any hint of passion. It takes hard work to make Dark Side of the Moon boring.

Before the album hit Spotify, I was previewing some of the tracks on youtube and came across the best one on the album right here: http://youtu.be/FFQ9AYJpE_A


It's very reminiscent of everything that made Rick such a brilliant keyboard player and composer. It's just such a simple, yet beautiful song with the perfect buildup and good balance. Today, when I went searching for the track on Spotify, I found that it was not actually on the album... what gives? OH WAIT, it's not Pink floyd at all. It's Chris Zabriskie. That's a drat shame, because this song would have almost made up for the pile of crap this new album is.

If Gilmour felt the need to put out a new album, why couldn't he have just done it under his own name, rather than bring down Pink Floyd's legacy?

when listening to it this morning I was overcome by a sense that this wasnt a gilmour album in the way division bell sounds like to me

I've only heard half of it so far on the way to work. there are some great musics on there. a lot of those songs seems to end abruptly though. it's hard to know where this will fit in to my listening mood list but so far I like it, that allons song they released early is one of the worst tracks
will finish it on way home

After a few days to sink in, "Side 1" and "Side 3" are quite good, and Louder Than Words is still complete dogshit that wrecks the mood entirely.

wow really? because it's anything but that. there are a few moments that sound exactly like the division bell, and some moments that sound exactly like other albums, and then some parts that sound like nothing else they've done, and musically not really like anything else they've done for the large part. I love it

I only listened to it once so far but it just feels like a bunch of lead ups to other songs that don't exist. It feels more like a posthumous album than the last Pink Floyd album too (which I guess it technically is).

Edit --> The CD cover is great though, its all smooth and silky.

Apart from reuising a few sound effects (like Hawking), what moments sound exactly like DB to you?

A lot of the album sounds like Shine On, then the rest of it sounds like Gilmour to me.

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."
