New Pink Floyd Album 'The Endless River'

[Flathead]

Thing? What is a "thing"?
A "thing" is an empty word, having no meaning on its own.

What about:
"But this WORK that we do".

Nah. I get what Polly is saying. In this context "thing" is an affectionate descriptor of work and art.

A Rick Wright "swan song" from 1969?

I think this is a good sign. Better to use something awesome from 1969 than something mediocre from the 90's. It shows a bit of ego-release and self-awareness.

"But this WORK that we do".

What about:
"But this SHIT that we do"?

A possible track list that I found for the new album?

So 10 tracks according to that......


Sorry, it's fake (unless a more reliable source).

The same false track list was released last July on Instagram. It's the same 10 titles. According to this list, there would be only 3 instrumental songs (the other 7 would have lyrics ). The official announcement said that the album is mostly instrumental. So, we will have to wait!

Oh sorry, I did think it looked quite convincing - maybe a bit to detailed to be true! It will be interesting to see if any of the rumours are correct - not too long to wait hopefully! Pete

I have to admit, it's sad to see just David and Nick in that Uncut cover.

It's real, folks:

Who made that cover? my dear god....

EDIT: 18 songs, "Louder Than Words" being the last.

I don't mind it. I kind of like how it connects to several of the lyrics from 'High Hopes'. Plus, my expectations were never high. Not since Storm died.

[Flathead]

Absolutely terrible cover. Glossy and overcooked. The text clashes with the image, too. It looks like the kind of image extremely bored, wine-drenched, rich people would find interesting.

Let's hope it does not represent the music.

Just updated on Pink Floyd's official Facebook.

Not mad on the cover, but the website is live and there is a snippet of music here - http://www.pinkfloyd.com/theendlessriver/listen

Ok. What we have is an instrumental album of Gilmour Guitar and Wright Keyboards. With only 4 mediocre lines of lyrics.

There is much to rejoice about

[Flathead]

I listened to the clip.

Oh please no.


It sounds like elevator music. No edge, no fire, very glossy, slick, homogenous production. It does not sound anything like Pink Floyd.

They could've used an unreleased art made by Storm just as they recycled Rick's keyboards, but well, I think I can get used to it...

You know, I'm probably biased as hell. I loved The Division Bell and this sounds promising to me already.

[Flathead]

One of the things that ruins it for me is Pratt's bass. It's so clean and clinical, so session musician. Roger is underrated for his tone, IMHO.

Sounds alright to me; hard to make any determination of a double LP by a 30-second sound clip.

A "thing"? There should be a better word as "an affectionate descriptor of work and art".

A Rick Wright "swan song" from 1969?

Saying that an 1969 recording is Wright's "swan song" is just lying.

What about:
"But this SHIT that we do"?

It's still much better than a "thing".

Words like "work" and "shit" can stand on their own.
Such independent words are important in a poem.
