The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[Flaminghotchino]

I know everyone one knows about DKSOTM and the wizard of oz but I found out that Echos sinks up with the pilot episode of DeGrassi? When the part after the seagul part comes on, its like a sonic orgasm?!

Really? I just tried it and it only seemed to work in the beggining... and then like a couple of parts after that...But it's not as good as the Dark Side of the Rainbow.

I also hear that if you play Pigs on the wing part 2 it goes along with the beggining of "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" :thumb:

[adiovivo]

Why wouldn't pigs on the wing part 1 work, I thought they're the same? :confused:

The final cut is really bad, i think! :cool:

How about you back up your idiotic statements, instead of just vomiting on your keyboard and pressing enter.

[WheepingGuitar39]

ok mr.adiovivo who knows nothing about everything.

I'm going to have to agree with wholedzep that you should stop vomiting on your keyboard and pressing enter.
Dont talk about stuff you dont know.
Now.. about what you told me in the DT thread... which was a big pile of crap of a post.

Everyone knows the french quebecers love Pink Floyd. Why? ... who knows seriously.
I guess the music just struck them very well..
And what you said was pretty stupid that all the french population of quebec only listen to gilles valiquette (im supposing he's the one you meant).
and that only the english quebecers listen to pink floyd.
totally false buddy.

to tell you the truth, almost all the english quebecers listen to techno or hip hop. The most part of classic rockers (Especially Pink Floyders) and metalheads are french quebecers.

And stop bringing up seperatism when it has nothing to do with what we are talking about.


Thank you, goodbye.

[audioviva]

Umm, final cut is bad because, as talented as Roger Waters is, his music doesn't work with a dissinterested david gilmour. as essentially a roger waters solo album, the album lacks the melody and texture that makes pink floyd worthwhile

:confused:

JUST KIDDING, the album is poo!

EDIT: I meant gilles vigneault!! Go back to peel pub you anglo scum, unless you're too busy doing "favors" :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: for steven harper...?

Now please die.

Ignore him, it isn't that hard. The guy obviously wants attention and people to get pissed off.

And do you have ITAOT (the album), and if yes could you upload it?

[MBS]

This message is hidden because audioviva is on your ignore list.

I suggest everyone follow suit.

[audioviva]

No it's people like you who won't let us recover our image from celine dion. get back to steven harper now or your westmount mansion

I wish I had that album :(

How do you ignore someone (im still a noob hahaha)


I'm gonna upload that Live in Venice 1989 concert when I get the chance. (school always in the way :angry: )

[moaner]

I know everyone one knows about DKSOTM and the wizard of oz but I found out that Echos sinks up with the pilot episode of DeGrassi? When the part after the seagul part comes on, its like a sonic orgasm?!

It does genuinely fit with the last 23 minutes of "2001: a space odyssey".

Roger apparently always regretted letting that contract slip (they wanted to use atom ehart mother in the soundtrack)

[Lunch]

Well I meant ignore him like you would ignore anyone in real life, but if you go to their user profile there should be an option that says "add such and such to your ignore list", and then they're posts will be blocked out.

[MBS]

Go into his profile and click "Add User to your ignore list" link.

Actually, it was A Clockwork Orange that Kubrick wanted to use Atom Heart Mother for.

[Riva]

Actually, it was A Clockwork Orange that Kubrick wanted to use Atom Heart Mother for.

And he also approached Roger to compose the score for the final scene of 2001.

Those crazy Pink Floyd guys just couldn't catch a break. :p

I didn't know that about 2001. Cool fact. I would've let Stanley use anything he wanted to. They really did have it hard. :p

Atom Heart Mother is in A Clockwork Orange. Not the music, but the album is in one of the shops in the film.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.
I find that incredibly exciting. What a weird movie. The book is even weirder.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Does anyone hav a good pic of the cover for animals?

Does anyone hav a good pic of the cover for animals?

I'm sure you could find an absolutely perfect picture if you typed in Pink Floyd albums in any search engine.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

:lol: good answer.

Dogs, I absolutely love it. I love that album

np~ Pigs (three different ones)

This album is growing on me ALOT

[Distant Echoes]

Sheep. Love the outro.
Dogs comes close too.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Dogs.

[BlindWriting]

I got Meddle about a week ago, and I really like it. One Of These Days is great, and Echoes is a perfect soundscape, and a fantastic, relaxing chill song. The guitar line at about 18:15 is incredibly beautiful.

[magicbus]

YES! I know exactly what you mean about the 18:15 part, I memorized the time so I could have a way to tell people about what I meant. That part is so amazing, just like the rest of the album.

[Lunch]

I love the "funky" part in Echoes.

Edit: the part that starts around 7:00.

[magicbus]

I love the "funky" part in Echoes.

Yea, basically the whole song is perfect.

No, if you're talking about the squealy part, I know what you mean. I just kinda skip over that when I say "perfect".

Cool. The rest is quite awesome. :cool:

[MBS]

I think it's interesting the way Gilmour did the part that sounds like whales. What he did was he just switched the input/output cables on his wah and modded it.

I tried it once and got pretty close results, but I need the wah mod he made.

There's only 4 of those wahs in the world. 3 belong to Gilmour and 1 belong to the guitarist of the Australian Floyd cover band. He got it from Gilmour as a birthday present, the lucky guy.

I thought it was 2 in the world. Gilmour has 1, the cover band guitarist has the other. :confused:

Regardless of whether it's 2 or 4, it's really cool. I want one...

[Flaminghotchino]

Corporal Clegg is a really cool song.

Don't hear it mentioned very much.

[FockerTheLopper]

Pink Floyd are so good that their the first band EVER that I like more then System of a Down. I'm listening to them now... Well its not a big deal I'm always listening to them now!!!

[Flaminghotchino]

as a matter of fact.


I really love all of Saucerful Of Secrets.

its a good album, but it needs "careful with that axe" on it.

The title track sure as hell isn't the best version of that song tho.

nah, 3 and 1.

[moaner]

No, if you're talking about the squealy part, I know what you mean. I just kinda skip over that when I say "perfect".

I don't.

It fits into the song as a whole, and really makes the bit that comes after it much more effective.

[DeusExMachina]

I don't.

True. I didn't like that part at first, but I really think it's an essential part of the track now. It adds to the mood so much.

I'm indecided about it. Sometimes I appreiciate it, other times it just bothers me because they could be making amazing music in that time.

I had to idea. I used to big Sci Fi fan (as you can guess from my SN, which I hate but use 'cause I've been using it forever, wish I could change it.) That would have been cool to see.

[moaner]

I'm indecided about it. Sometimes I appreiciate it, other times it just bothers me because they could be making amazing music in that time.

I doubt they'd have filled the side without that section.

They have albums and albums of music, I let dave return to his roots of freakout noises and enjoy it for what it is, not let it annoy me for what it isn't.

[Lunch]

I'm happy for you then. I don't always have minutes and minutes to wait for Pink Floyd to play music though. And I'm not just talking about Echoes either.

[Prince of Darkness]

I've got a confession to make. I might get serious flaming, but it's got to be done.


.....Dark side of the Moon isn't thaaat good.
Well, it's got the occasional great song, but for me, comparing it to Animals, The Wall or Meddle, it's just not up there with the others.
It's good, but not Animals, The Wall or Meddle good.

[DeusExMachina]

I'm happy for you then. I don't always have minutes and minutes to wait for Pink Floyd to play music though. And I'm not just talking about Echoes either.
My biggest problem with Pink Floyd is how I have to wait for the really good stuff, and if I'm at school or something, I have to stop listening before I get to it.

It's called an opinion, don't state it as a fact.

[DeusExMachina]

It was stated as an opinon. Someone doesn't need to say "I am of the opinion that..." to make it obvious that it's an opinion. As long as people aren't prickish about their opinions, I don't care whether or not they say "in my opinion" or not.

Personally, DSOTM > Animals and the Wall. Not sure about Meddle, it's a toss up.

[robo2448]

For me:

WYWH>Animals>Pulse>DSOTM>The Wall>Meddle>OBC>SOS>PATGOD>DSOT> AHM

I downloaded The Final Cut, and More but haven't listened to them yet. I still need Umagumma and The Division Bell. I don't think I want MLOR from what everyone says about it.

[magicbus]

I can't even begin to rate the order of my favorite albums. I know that DSOTM, WYWH, and Meddle are my favorites, and I'm not a real big fan of Animals, but that's about it.

[WheepingGuitar39]

Momentary Lapse of Reason > Division Bell > Animals > The wall > Meddle > Wish you were here > Dark side of the moon.

[Lunch]

WYWH=Animals>PATGOD>The Wall>DSotM>OBC>Meddle>Saucerful of Secrets

[TerryThorne]

Oh yea, I finally bought the Pompeii Dvd.

[thunderzstruck]

WYWH>DSotM>Animals>The Wall

That's all I got

[Prince of Darkness]

Hmm. For me it's more like
The Wall>Animals>WYWH>DSOTM>Meddle
but I still havn't listened to the others except for A Nice Pair.That's ok. I like Lucifer Sam, Matilda Mother and Bike. That IS on ANP isn't it? My stuff is so messed up.

[magicbus]

I think Cirrus Minor is enough to put More up there on my list, hopefully the other tracks are as good as this one.

[Flaminghotchino]

I can never make a set in stone favorite list.. Because I find that there is always something new to discover about pink floyd...its like you can have all their albums..but you listen to it one more time and you notice something or appreciate something a little more.

And I agree with whoever said that the song Saucerful of Secrets off of Saucerful of Secrets isn't the best... It's much better live in my opinion... I downloaded a video of them playing it, and the UmmaGumma version and both have that amazing vocal outro provided courtesy of Gilmour.

As for whoever said they don't really like DSoTM..For a while I thought it's not as good as the others either..But I think its because we may listen to the songs off there too much.. But I think we just lose appreciation for it from time to time.. Take a big break from it for a while..Try not to even think about it. Then come back and you'll be like WHOAAAA.

DSotM gets points for consistancy, as do a lot of PF albums I suppose..

[Broken Arrow]

"Let there Be More Light" and "Dramatic Theme".

Does anyone else notice the similair bassline?

[magicbus]

Yea that's why I'm not sure that my list will stay like that, my opinions of the albums change sometimes. That's basically it though.

And I love the vocal outro on the Ummagumma version of A Saucerful of Secrets. I still get chills when I hear that.

[UsAndThem]

Pink Floyd = life. I took piano back up because of how Rick Wright's playing influenced me...and I just started learning acoustic guitar so I can play Pink Floyd in a whole 'nother media...<3 PL&d

[Prince of Darkness]

yeah. I want to start playing saxaphone when I listen to some of Pink Floyd's stuff. But even other band, like Mars Volta have extreme sax that's really crazy. i wana do that.

[UsAndThem]

God that's tough.... I can't have A favourite... but it may go like this...
*Post-Syd*
WYWH & DSOTM = tied for first place
OBC & The Wall = tied for second
Meddle & Animals = tied for third
*Sydful*
Saucerful>Piper

...I really enjoy AHM & Ummagumma when I'm stoned....almost as much as DSOTM... Ummagumma is good for the buzz... I have More but haven't really listened to it yet, MLOR & Division Bell really bum me out cuz to me there's no Floyd without the WATERS. (Learning To Fly is perhaps the only nice Rogerless tune).. The Final Cut is beautiful, underrated, and neglected....I think it's a brilliant album. The concept is whole and anti-war...need I say more? pL&d <3

[UsAndThem]

Oh yeah the outro vocals on SOS on Ummagumma's live disc is remarkable...I get goosebumps as well! Try watching it on the Pompeii DVD (which is BRILLIANT)... it's amazing...Gilmour totally steals my heart every ****in time, man. pL&d

[moaner]

Momentary Lapse of Reason > Division Bell > Animals > The wall > Meddle > Wish you were here > Dark side of the moon.

Seriously?

the first 2 there i don't listen to ever because they really don't entertain me slightly musically, and the same goes for the wall; i can understand peope preferring WYWH to dark side but for me meddle just isn't better then WYWH- i like that 'trio' of dark side, meddle and wywh all equally really.

It's obviously someone's obionion when they say that because it's in their post. While I try to avoid making statements like "Animals is the best" in my posts, it's still clearly the poster's opinion, not necessarily anyone elses.

If you mean Comfortably Numb on Pompeii, at the time Pompeii was recorded, they were still working on DSOTM...all the songs are great though. Some people dont like that echoes was split, but i thught it was pretty good.

You defintaly want the directors cut though...

[moaner]

I didn't really like the tracks that they played, but I never watched the DVD.

what are your favorite albums by pink floyd: here are mine

1. (Uno) WISH YOU WERE HERE :o
2. (CLOSE TO Uno) DARK SIDE of the moon :)
3. (Three) MEDDLE (but only enchoes and one OF these DAYS) :smash:
4. (4, duh) ANIMALS (but not the best) :o
5. The WALL (TOO INCONSISTANT, is my opinion) :upset:
THE WORST IS THE FINAL CUT, WHICH I DISLIKE :(

however,! i couldn't rank their first album, it is to unique (thanks SYD!! :chug: )

[blue3]

I just stole my dad's old Wall CD.. Didn't have to pay.

[MBS]

I got my copy of the Wall for 25 dollars at Kmart.

[DeusExMachina]

I got The Wall used, so it was pretty cheap.

[Scooch]

I got the Vinyl for 15

Wall is the only pink floyd cd i dont own on CD :(

Is WYWH worth $15? It only has 5 songs, but I know the title track is excellent. So is it worth the money?

[magicbus]

Is WYWH worth $15? It only has 5 songs, but I know the title track is excellent. So is it worth the money?

It is worth the 1st and 5th tracks alone. I bought another copy because my first was scratched. So I guess I spent $30 on it.

[BigTrav415]

YES! I know exactly what you mean about the 18:15 part, I memorized the time so I could have a way to tell people about what I meant. That part is so amazing, just like the rest of the album.
Yes, we had a GoogleTalk about that one time.

/feels cool because noone else knows what I'm talking about :cool:

I think my favorite parts of Echoes would be:
The "switch-over" to the funky part
The crazy-*** 18:15 guitar riff
The set of lyrics after the guitar riff, and how it just switches to them without skiping a beat.

Cloudless every day you fall,
Upon my waking eyes,
Inviting and inciting me to rise.
And through the window in the wall,
Come streaming in on sunlight wings,
A million bright ambassadors of morning.
And no one sings me lullabies,
And no one makes me close my eyes,
So I throw the windows wide,
And call to you across the sky.

Lyrical and rythmic perfection from Gilmour there :thumb:

[bibbl]

Is WYWH worth $15? It only has 5 songs, but I know the title track is excellent. So is it worth the money?

Definately. I haven't heard the last track, but I've heard the other four. Iat's my favorite Floyd album, but I don't have any money to get it with.

[DeusExMachina]

The 18:15 part of Echoes is that sick guitar arpeggio bit, right? I love that part. Probably my favorite part of the song.

Cluster One from TDB is amazing. That album is so incredible instrumentally.

[Brewer14]

It is worth the 1st and 5th tracks alone. I bought another copy because my first was scratched. So I guess I spent $30 on it.

Alright, thanks! I'll try and pick it up Saturday.

[magicbus]

Alright, thanks! I'll try and pick it up Saturday.

Sure thing, hope you enjoy it :thumb:

Yea, that's the one. It's also my favorite part of the song.

[DeusExMachina]

NP: Echoes

All that talk of the 18:15 bit made me want to listen. The entire instrumental bit after the ambient breakdown is just incredible. Is it just me, or is that bit sort of like a prehistoric Explosions in the Sky kind of sound?

[BigTrav415]

NP: Wish You Were here

I keep forgetting how good this song is...

[DeusExMachina]

While my favorite Pink Floyd song changes at any given time, WYWH is probably my overall favorite song by them. It's just so beautiful.

[Distant Echoes]

hey, what happened to that lyrical anylasis you guys did a while back? i remember you finished dsotm and i volunteered for a song on wywh before i left. What ever happened after that? I felt sortta bad i ditched you guys...but it only took a few seconds to get over it :)

All that talk of the 18:15 bit made me want to listen. The entire instrumental bit after the ambient breakdown is just incredible. Is it just me, or is that bit sort of like a prehistoric Explosions in the Sky kind of sound?

Yea, kinda how the instruments keep getting louder until it "explodes" back into the vocals. I get what you mean.

[DeusExMachina]

Cool. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

[BigTrav415]

Cool. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Yeah, but it's not just an explosion, it's like an explosion followed quickly by an implosion, it just completely changes tempo and pitch, just shifts seamlessly into the lyrics. It's so climactic and yet so anticlimactic at the same time...

/no habla ingles muy good :weird:

Oh, and about the lyrical analysis, I was actually gonna pop Sheep on you guys sometime soon, and everyone would be like "wow dude, you're cool, you rememebered! *praise BigTrav in all his glory*", but now you've gone and ruined it. Thanks :angry:


:lol: j/k. I'll get it done sometime.

[thickasabrick]

Heh heh. Echoes is a miraculous song...and I love albatrosses. Wish You Were Here is probably my least favourite song from the album, which still puts it higher than 80% of the music I listen to.

I do believe you're the first person I've ever seen say that they preferred Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar to WYWH.

[dr._feelgood]

Wish You Were Here is probably one of my favorite songs of all time.

[Prince of Darkness]

For me, Echoes is an average epic, compared to epics like Dogs and SOYCD. Dogs, being my favorite song of Pink Floyd(at the moment), is a perfect song.The lyrics are mind boggling and the feeling when it goes:'' So that when they they turn their backs on you....You'll get the chance, to Put the knife in!" That really is amazing. No band of today can recreate such brilliance.

[Lunch]

I do believe you're the first person I've ever seen say that they preferred Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar to WYWH.

Depending on my mood, WYWH can be my least favorite song on that album.

Gilmour's slow solos in that song blow me away. I especially love the end of the second slow one and they transition so flawlessly into the lyrics "And when you lose control...".

[LF96]

I got all of my Pink Floyd albums cheap on vinyl:

- Atom Heart Mother: 5 euros on ebay
- Darkside Of The Moon: 50 cents on a second hand market
- Wish You Were Here: 1 or 2 euros on a second hand market
- Animals: 5 euros on ebay
- The Wall: 2 or 3 euros on a second hand market

All of those in excellent condition, except for the fact that someone wrote something on AHM and Animals... I'm probably purchasing Meddle next, as it goes for some euros on ebay usually, same goes for The Final Cut. :)

[Prince of Darkness]

Pigs also is an amazing song. It brings in the darker side of the Animals album and, again the lyrics, bind blowing. Rogers knew what he was doing.

[Prince of Darkness]

I know that we did some of Wish You Were Here and Animals, but I don't remember any new songs being done recently. The links should all be in the first post, anyway.



I just don't see the fuss about Echoes really. Sure, it's a good song, but it's not the best on Meddle in my humble opinion (I rather like Saint Tropez), and compared to their other epics it does lack something. Dogs is an extraordinary song though. Lyrically that album has Waters at his best I always think, as the nastiness that's in quite a lot of Floyd's music comes out better in it without ever going over the top.

At his best...hmm. The Wall.

[MBS]

I like Echoes a lot because if you listen to about the first 10 minutes before it goes into the squealy whale part, it's really relaxing.

[shamed-angel]

The Wall is great, and it's probably my favourite Floyd album, but it gets dragged down by the second half of Disc 1, which is clearly the weakest bit of the album in my opinion. The one lyrical weakness that the album has in my opinion is the repetition. Obviously that's part of the big idea, but it drags occasionaly for me on songs like Empty Spaces and Goodbye Cruel World which I don't think are really actually needed. But yeah, it's an amazing album lyrically for the most part.
In my opinion. It was and still is a rock classic. I prefer it to any of their other albums, but I'd say it was more musically amazing than lyrically.

I actually disagree on Empty Spaces. I really think its one of their best songs, and although I do think it gets dragged down a bit in the middle of disk one, its still probably my favorite album ever.

[Prince of Darkness]

Yeah. Empty Spaces, man. It's so dark and, beautiful.
The Wall Disk 1 is the better one. Although both is amazing, Side 1 has the more striking songs. Ohh. The Wall.

[Lunch]

I prefer the second disc. I think it's cool how he builds the wall, etc. etc. on disc 1, but the major draw into the plot of The Wall for me was the isolation and the insanity that is caused by the wall. So for me, disc 1 is sort of the preparation for disc 2.

[robo2448]

For me, disc 1 has the better songs, but the songs flow together better on disc 2.

[DeusExMachina]

I think disc 1 is more consistent, but disc 2 has some absolutely incredible tracks. Overall, I probably prefer disc 2.

[Jean Chrétien]

why isnt hey you in the movie??? :confused:

they only have panzers breaking free, i think?

[Prince of Darkness]

Although Disk 2 is amazing, I'm so sick of it, cause it's in my mom's car. So everytime we ride with here, we listen the same songs. We're too lazy to put Disk 1 in. Shame on us. :rolleyes:


Edit: Post 700. whoop whoop for me!

[Lunch]

I don't think either is more consistent, I just think disc 2 is all around better. Hey You>Is There Anybody Out There? is amazing.

[Brewer14]

I really need to pick up The Wall..looks like I'm buying 2 Floyd CDs this weekend.

[DeusExMachina]

Definitely pick up the Wall. It's well worth it. The Wall is what got me into PF initially.

[Jean Chrétien]

don't get the wall, its overrated and inconsistant, save comfortably numb and a few others, get DKSOTM/WYWH/M(DLE)/A(MLS)/ or any other pink floyd abulm, except the final cut, which blows :smoke:

I disagree with this post in it's entirety.

The Wall is NOT inconsistent, whatever that means, and The Final Cut is brilliant, albeit a bit depressing. It's got some excellent composition, and is lyrically one of Waters best.

Explain your opinion on these inconsistencies in the Wall?

Why would any Pink Floyd fan tell someone not to get The Wall? Even if it isn't your favourite PF album (it isn't mine by a longshot), it's still a great album. Whenever I wanna listen to that album, I just watch the movie. Unless I'm in my car, then I put on the casette. I've only listened to that album like five or so times on vinyl....never on CD! :amaze: I just realized that.

edit- and some people need to learn the difference between "filler" and songs that are important to the theme of the album, despite not being the best songs.

[Jimmy]

Most people don't agree with my choice of favorite album, but I think Meddle is Floyd's best. Echoes is 23 minutes of pure brilliance.

[DeusExMachina]

edit- and some people need to learn the difference between "filler" and songs that are important to the theme of the album, despite not being the best songs.
Exactly. Just because a song is short doesn't mean it doesn't serve a purpose in the album as a whole.

123. I listened to The Final Cut last night through headphones, while laying in my bed, in the dark. That album kicks some major ***. Absurdly underrated.

[temporary]

I don't think either is more consistent, I just think disc 2 is all around better. Hey You>Is There Anybody Out There? is amazing.

I agree. Disk has plenty of songs that can really stand out on their own, in the form of Hey You, Nobody Home, Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell and The Trial. I also prefer it from a plot stand point, although disk one is still amazing, and I can see why some prefer it.

[Jean Chrétien]

the wall might be worthwhile as a concept, as a story, or as a movie, but as a collection of songs (which is what an album is, as far as I'm concerned), it doesn't hold up. the quality of the music is wildly inconsistant (comfortably numb vs... maybe... waiting for the worms, anyone?). it does tell a cohesive story, but insofar as it tries to be cohesive musically, it pales in comparison to DSOTM, WYWH, and even animals. musically speaking, the worthwhile material would make a good single cd, but strung out over two, the album becomes painful, not masterful

werd nuccas :smoke: :chug:

[PinkZeppelin27]

I got animals this weekend and its quickly becoming my favorite floyd cd. I love it. Which cd should I get next though. Ive got animals, DSOTM, WYWH, the wall, and PATGOD.

[Jean Chrétien]

MEDDLE, NUCCA :smash:

[DBoons Ghost]

Each of Floyd's albums have a unique quality which forces me to listen to it as if it were it's own.

So, I tend to not go back and compare song for song off Animals with song for song off Meddle for example. Floyd aint like that.

Waiting for the Worms tells it's story just as any other song would, and the lyrics are fairly significant.

[Jean Chrétien]

Waiting for the Worms tells it's story just as any other song would, and the lyrics are fairly significant.

which may be true, but the music sucks :wave:

[Lunch]

Waiting for the Worms is a great song IMO.

And why does an album have to be a "collection of songs"? Why can't it be viewed as a story like a book or movie can be? Certianly the Wall should only be analyzed from that standpoint. To enjoy the album you have to buy into the plot, because the music itself doesn't hold up. However, what makes it a great record is that there is a plot and an overall theme which makes up for any musical inconsistencies. If you view the Wall as just 26 songs put on a double album, of course there is nothing to like about it. That's why you need to view it as a single entity.

[moaner]

I'd say the wall was very consistent, albeit consistantly dull.

I can't even bear to listen to the final cut, ro momentary lapse of reason.

[temporary]

MEDDLE, NUCCA :smash:

Yeah, Meddle's great.

Dogs just doesn't keep me fully intrested- its just santana style solo after solo. I feel that echoes allows the full band to shine, and off the top of my head i can't think of anything i would change about it.

[thickasabrick]

I got animals this weekend and its quickly becoming my favorite floyd cd. I love it. Which cd should I get next though. Ive got animals, DSOTM, WYWH, the wall, and PATGOD.

Saucerful of Secrets and Meddle for sure. Animals is my least favourite 70's Floyd album.

SOYCD would have been much more musical ownage, had there been 1 less guitar solo before the verses. It's an early form of wankage.

So there was a rumor in the halls today that Pink Floyd was going to play at the React concert (or whatever its called) to benefit the New orleans flood.

It's the kind of thing Floyd would play for. But I would guess mostly American bands would play. Being British, the hurricane doesn't affect them nearly as much as it would if they were American.

[DeusExMachina]

I would love for Pink Floyd to play it. But I don't think they will.

[WheepingGuitar39]

They wont.

[BigTrav415]

Oye, man am I tired. Hmm, I guess I should say something relating to Floyd... umm... hmm... let's see... er, Floyd is good. Yeah. Let's see... you were discussing the Wall... awesome album, if very depressing... Disc 2 > Disc 1, and 1st half of Disc 2 > 2nd half of Disc 2... Hey You, Is There Anybody Out There, Nobody Home, and Vera are all beautiful songs, and flow together perfectly with the background TV noise... Bring The Boys Back Home just doesn't do it for me though...Animals, uhh, probably my fourth favorite Floyd Album (IMO, Meddle>DSotM>WYWH>Animals>The Wall), but since those albums are my top 5 albums of all time from any band, that's still saying a lot... Sheep is probably my favorite song on there, mostly because of the great bassline, the lyrics, and the amazing outro... I must have mentioned that outro riff like four times on here by now... Oh, here's a new topic point, I think San Tropez sounds very much like a Beatles song, don't you agree? Listen to it, you'll see what I mean... Well, that's another succesful post by the Travster... Peace, love, and Echoes...

/lame :upset:

[WheepingGuitar39]

Ok to clear up what that guy said.. jean chretien
musically inconsistent? are you on crack?
what is the inconsistency between Comfortably Numb and Waiting for the worms? Maybe you should explain yourself.

Comfortably Numb, apart from the 2 kick *** solos, aint much music there.
Waiting for the worms, has an AMAZING riff, and that song pumps you up with that riff, and poeple screaming HAMMER HAMMER HAMMER, but no kick *** solo. So I guess they are even, one of them a really good riff, the other a really good solo. How is that inconsistent?

Next time please backup what you say.

Important Pink Floyd news:

The Live 8 DVD will be released on November 8. Pink Floyd is one of the few bands who's entire set will be shown on the DVD. They're also showing footage of the Floyd rehearsing.

Waters said the Live 8 performance was better than good, and it went very peacefully, without fighting. He also said they aren't planning on a reunion tour, but would be willing to do more reunion shows if for a good cause (political cause or charity). He also said this would give them an oppurtunity to play DSOTM in it's entirety live again.

Fingers crossed :thumb:

This was all on my local classic rock station, so it should all be pretty reliable.

[MustkillLois6712]

gosh reunion rumors are giving me a half boner.

One quick question, I was reading up on the Featured Bassist on Roger Waters and saw that the "Tick Tock" in time is him playing bass and has some help with some studio magic from Allen Parsons. It also says that no one knows how they did this so i was wondering if anyone in here knew?

That's the strangest bass playing I've ever heard if so, it sounds much more like percussion than a bass, how would he mkae the sort of little "pop" that percussion makes (I know he could slap, but Waters probably couldn't slap or pop that fast with that much rythym and quality)

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah, I don't think that was bass playing. But, I could be wrong.

A reunion show might be cool, but honestly, it's not a big deal to me. I wouldn't get to see them, I'd just be frustrated that I couldn't. So, whether they do it or not, not a big deal to me. I already have enough live footage of them.

If they did a tour though... now that's a whole different story.

Listen folks, I'm 100% positive that she says both during the song, one at the begining, and once when the music goes softer. The thing about only hearing what you wan to hear, because before I had ever heard of her saying that, I heard something and turned it up. It definitely sounded liek she was saying "If you can hear this whisper, you're dying." If she did say the othe rthing, she said it with ery strange stress on the syllables, like " I never SAID I was AFRAID, of dying" or something. I guess you could make yourself here one or the other, but whatever.

By the way, a little bit after Eclipse 'ends", what does that guy say, I caught something about "no doubt" and "the moon"... but that's not the weirdest part... I haven't heard this mentioned on here at all, but if you let the song play aaaaaalll the way to the end, I swaer, just before the track ends, there's a very little jingle or something, when I first heard it it sounded like the Looney Tunes sound or something... in fact, it sounded a lot like the channel on WYWH before the guitar starts... I'm gonna check it out again...

If I can.
A gnome named Grimble Crumble.
And little gnomes stay in their homes.
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.

He wore a scarlet tunic,
A blue green hood,
It looked quite good.
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass
Fresh air at last.
Wining, dining, biding his time.
And then one day - hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Oooooooooomray.

Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good?
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good?
Winding, finding places to go.
And then one day - hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Oooooooooomray.
Ooooooooooooooomray.


My analysis: wtf????

Sorry but that's all I got :(

[thesexorcist]

you know that i heard a rumor about this album that it is actually quite purposely constructed as to predict certain events that have occured since it was made. Apparently there are certain sections that predict the events of september 11 and the subsequent invasion of both afghanistan and iraq.

could it be that pink floyd are the nostradamus of rock? is it pure coincidence? did they have some unearthly insight into our futures that we didnt even know about?!?!?!?!?!?

[¿Any Color You Like?]

Did anyone know that the album Animals is actually how Pink Floyd viewed humans and the way that they react. Three main types, Dogs, Sheeps, Pigs. If you can understand this main concept, you can understand why the album is so good. Dogs~agressive people, Pigs~capitalists and buisness people who are infatuated with themselves, Sheep~ to put it into simpler words----pussys

The Gnome


I want to tell you a story

Ooooooooooooooomray. This actully has personal meaning to me. It started out as a simple wake and bake but it turned into the greatest day of my life and this song takes on that story. One day I decided to wake and bake with 2 friends it turns out that we missed the bus and we still had like 4 bowls left. So we had to walk to school and on the way we decided to just skip and another crazy idea poped into our heads. We should go shrooming! On the way to the to the shroom feild we went under a bridge and smoked all the bud we had left and I took out my CD player and put in PATGOD. I skiped it to "The Gnome" and started walking beside a creek and I was listining to the lyrics it was was like Syd was singing about me! "He had a big adventure" We were having an adventure! "Amidst the grass" We were walking in grass! "Fresh air at last." We were skipping school outdoors hence fresh air. "Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good?" I was looking at a clear blue sky and I looked down and saw a flowing creek! "And then one day - hooray!" It was the day we discovered the psychedelic beauty of shrooms. We eventully got to the feild found some shrooms and tripped for the first time. It was anything and everything I ever hoped for. It was truly the greatest day of my life and now "The Gnome" is my shrooming anthem. :D

As dumb as it may possibly seem to you this experince meant alot to me and I would hope you wouldn't want to disrespect that. ;)

Edit: I ended up tripping in a tree for 3 hours. :lol:

Sounds like a great day Schyma :) I'm amazed that you manage to get that stoned and still write semicoherent posts on the intraweb. Good for you :thumb: :smoke:

Dogs are the scum of society, thieves, homeless and the very poor. Sheep are the average working people and Pigs are the wealthy upper class. Atleast that's how I look at it.

[BigTrav415]

**** you. I asked you to respect that but you couldn't even do that. :rolleyes:
What are you talking about? I was joking about the stoned thing. It really sounded like an awesome day. Trust me, I wasn't serious about the whole thing. Let's be friends :)

Dogs are the scum of society, thieves, homeless and the very poor. Sheep are the average working people and Pigs are the wealthy upper class. Atleast that's how I look at it.
Pigs: CEOs, big politicans, etc.
Dogs: The motivated white-collar man, willing to doing anything to get ahead
Sheep: The masses of the stupid, unemployed, blue-collar, etc.

That's how I see it.

That's exactly how I see it. Glad I'm not the only one who see's it like that. It seems to make sense if you examine the lyrics.

Actually, it is based on Animal Farm, which is how George Orwell viewed a communist society.

Edit: Show me a song as good as Wots Uh The Deal and I will show you a song which doesn't exist in this space time continuum.

[BigTrav415]

But as it's been stated a few times before in this thread, Animals was a satire of 1970's British capitalism, not communism. But yeah, they got the idea and motivation from Animal Farm :thumb:

Are you sure? The dogs always struck me as being a parody of the Russian KGB, at the time the Russians were actively pursuing socialism/communisim.

[RNR]

If you actually look at the lyrics, it looks like Dogs are the scum of society and Sheep are the middle class minions of the Pigs. The song Dogs is more survivalistic and Sheep is more about following the leader. So I think it goes that way.

"Meek and obedient you follow the leader" is a key part of sheep that shows this.

[magicbus]

Can't be done.

Speaking of you listening to More a lot, how do you like Cirrus Minor? I think it's a truly awesome song. It's got those cool floating organ sounds, and when the heavy reverb comes in on the vocals it sounds reeeally cool.

If you listen closely to the lyrics, they seem to follow these allegories. Also, one of the biggest give-aways ifs the factory on the front cover, which is actually a factory in England, which is still standing somewhere.

'Nuff said :)

[RNR]

It's really more about English Capitalism than directly taken from Animal Farm. It does borrow some things though.

[clairvoyant]

The album Animals is more related to the book "Animal Farm" by George Orwell which is about communism (more closely, the communism in the Soviet Union).

[Riva]

Yes, but "glove and tie, firm handshake, a certain look and an easy smile". That suggests that the well-dressed secret policemen who stabs his contacts and is ruthless with suspects.

Can't be done.

Oh my word yes. From the bird songs to the awesome ending, that song is brilliant. And what about Up The Khyber. Nick and Rick go off!

[magicbus]

I still have to listen to a lot of the rest of the album, but at this point I know I really, really like Cirrus Minor. I'll be listening to More a lot in the next few days.

[BigTrav415]

Actually, when I heard that I instantly thought of just a middle-management white collar man in a boardroom or something, getting in good with his superiors so he can "stab them in the back" and get ahead. It's all metaphorical.

[BigTrav415]

Wow, no posts since mine 17 hours ago... w/e. Listened to some more Floyd today during study hall, that's about it. Can't think of anything else to add...

[Britton]

wow you guys ended up with a great name for the thread

[temporary]

Pigs: CEOs, big politicans, etc.
Dogs: The motivated white-collar man, willing to doing anything to get ahead
Sheep: The masses of the stupid, unemployed, blue-collar, etc.

That's how I see it.

I see it pretty similarly, although I thought it was more like:

Dogs: Bussiness men, ruthless and exploiting, always hounding people, sort of like Wall Mart in a person (apears like a good thing, but underneath is destroying our society.)
Pigs: The rulers, governers, CEO's, senators, ect. who seem to run things, but are no better than the sheep.
Sheep: The huddled masses, always searching for a leader, not knowing about anything, constantly exploited by the dogs.

I really think Animals has the best concept for any album I've heard. It may edge Wish You Were Here as my second favorite Floyd album.

[thickasabrick]

All the explanations of Animals are similar, but some seemed a little off. I'd say Obi One Kenodi (and anyone who said something similar to his) seems the most correct.

I remembered the first time I tripped out on mushrooms, I was listening to Bob Marley when it hit. Then someone put on The Wall (DVD). Later in the night when the trip was winding down we went into my friends little crawlspace under his stairs (which we call The Cave, or the Mush Room) which fits like about five people max in a circle. We put on Dark Side of the Moon and smoked some bowls. It was a really fun night.

I'd say Schyma's sounded pretty amazing though because he was out in beautiful nature during the daytime, which is the best for tripping. We were in a basement with like 10 other people who weren't on shrooms so it was a little weird because they all tried to like mess with our heads and stuff and it was annoying. I think PATGOD and Saucerful of Secrets are the best for tripping, one of the best salvia trips I ever had was to the song Saucerful of Secrets.

[BigTrav415]

NP: Echoes... again.
I swear this song is crack for crackers.

/:cool:

Let's discuss Echoes... again...

[magicbus]

I was just playing Echoes. It might be my favorite Floyd tune to jam with.

[thickasabrick]

Echoes is sooo beautiful. One of the best pieces ever written by Pink Floyd.

[robo2448]

Echoes is amazing. My favorite song on Meddle is One of These Days though.

/waits for disagreements

Not exactly horrible trip just extremly depressing trip. It taught me alot about tripping though. I want to trip to Out to Lunch next time. :D

/waits for disagreements

I actually may agree with you. Echoes would be much better if they cut down the part in the middle. I mean, its cool and all, but it really cuts in. The first eight minutes and from eightneen minutes in on out simply own, though.

[¿Any Color You Like?]

Fearless is also a bomb song on meddle, thats like my second favorite song on that album, just listen to the lyrics its just like omg, they actually make sense

[BigTrav415]

One of These Days>Echoes>Fearless>A Pillow of Winds>San Tropex>Seamus

:cool:

EDIT: But Seamus>most non-Floyd songs. Ever.

[standard]

Today at school I was reading some book, and it had some **** in it like inside out, and all day at school I just kept thinking of the song "Wearing The Inside Out".

Kinda off topic.. somewhat. Anywho...

I must say Keep Talking has some a ****ing AMAZING talk box solo.
