It's still an odd, challenging album. It's got funny, witty parts, it has occasionally creepy soundscapes, it touches on science fiction.jeremyb wrote:It wasn't me, but you honestly can't say its their finest work!!
I like it heaps better than all the stuff they did in the 80s, that, to me, was elevator music.

In terms of "Blowing my mind, what the hell is this (but it's awesome)" I think Napalm Death-Scum is up there.

agree. it seemed that all four of them really needed each other to produce that classic Floyd sound.Vince wrote:It's still an odd, challenging album.

roger's solo work is all pretty average imo, and the Gilmour led Floyd wasn't anywhere near as good as the 70's line up.

Dunno if there's any rap-heads here, but Illmatic by Nas was a freak of a debut

I still rate Division Bell as one of my favourite albums although lyrically it wasn't as interesting or punchy as the Waters/Gilmour era Floyd; you can really hear his absence in the music.mitch.twentyfive wrote:agree. it seemed that all four of them really needed each other to produce that classic Floyd sound.Vince wrote:It's still an odd, challenging album.

Santana's cover of Back In Black, with that Nas guy on vocals, was one of the worst covers I've heard.telefiend wrote:Dunno if there's any rap-heads here, but Illmatic by Nas was a freak of a debut
The guy was just reading the lyrics sheet out like he was Sam Hunt

I reckon pros and cons of hitchhiking is his best lyrically, and the clapton guitar is damn fine. Gilmour Floyd is Floyd Lite, its the Diet Coke of Floyd.mitch.twentyfive wrote:agree. it seemed that all four of them really needed each other to produce that classic Floyd sound.Vince wrote:It's still an odd, challenging album.

well said.
I liked 'the final cut' which was essentially a Waters solo album.
