Yes, it's ironic that it comes across as more bitter than any of Roger's albums.Flying pig437 wrote:I'm glad I gave this more of a chance. I think it's almost a great album although the lyrics are pretty bad. Most of them are just a litany of complaints and harangues.
To be honest, Floyd had less personnel changes than virtually any band on the planet, so I don't care much about the line-up, it's the quality of music that matters.
Rick Wright did a lead vocal on "Time" on the live "Delicate Sound" double-album, so it's not been that long. Still nice to hear him.
It's 50% enjoyable but not as good as it seemed in 1994.

Okay, I'm stumped. Who is/are/were RLH?Annoying Twit wrote: But didn't U2 copy the highly echoed guitar sound from RLH in the first place?
Have just listened to Echoes & TDB back-to-back. I enjoyed it all. Money (ahem) well spent.

Run Like Hell! I love the fact that we can refer to song titles by their initials. In fact, we should make a thread about it.SteveB wrote:Okay, I'm stumped. Who is/are/were RLH?Annoying Twit wrote: But didn't U2 copy the highly echoed guitar sound from RLH in the first place?

I feel illiterate every time I read titles extracted to *TSNWGAWPHOSLSTC and the likes.
At worst my two brain-half's cook and everything in the nearest perimeter incinerates!

Aw, sh*t.
I'm trying to think of one of those U.S. stadium rock groups with lead singer's named The Puke or suchlike.
Ah well - thanks for the clarification.

Re: Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
I've been listening to TDB a lot lately - it's both in my car and on my phone. Lately I can't get enough of the one track that I always used to skip over - that track is "Cluster One". It's such an amazing, atmospheric piece. I swear, if I had a full CD of variations on the same theme I wouldn't get bored with it. Lovely!

Re: Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
i realized something 2 weeks ago when i listened to Meddle while driving: the outro of Echoes has the same kind of "dialogue" between the guitar and the piano that happens in Cluster One. oh well, i thought it was one of the cleverest ideas on TDB until then...
it still is a highlight of the album though.

I voted it a 2. 1.5 for High Hopes, and a 0.5 sympathy gift since this was Floyd's last one. (Though I try hard to make myself believe it was Animals).

And if an artist can't steal from himself, from whom can he steal?

Re: Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
All artists do that. Queen tried to re-create Bohemian Rhapsody with Innuendo. Bon Jovi recorded an album of covers of their own songs. Paul McCartney's concert setlists are mostly made up of Beatles songs. Metalica setlists are mostly made up of songs from before the St. Anger disaster. Roger Waters (or his publicist perhaps) said that people who bought Dark Side and The Wall should buy Amused to Death...mastaflatch wrote:what about artists that copy their former selves to steal applauses from their established fanbase?

Re: Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
true. but that doesn't make the redundancies any better. evolving along your own style is one thing, recycling good ideas to put them in a much less imaginative context is another.bigV wrote:All artists do that.
