I don't think doing it directly or through a story changes the factor of a song/album being emotional or not, JT

Album Rating: 4.5

@MrSirLordGentleman: I agree with what JT's saying, but idk if I would phrase it the same way. I would put it like this: the emotional quality of The Wall is more poised and controlled, while The Final cut is very bare and vulnerable.

Album Rating: 4.5

I agree that Waters poured better his emotion through lyrics, he is way better than Gilmour at that, but counting songwriting as a whole I think Gilmour is way more important, it is his guitar the one that adds emotion to Waters's lyrics, plus he is definitely a better vocalist and a better guitarist than Waters as a bassist

"I don't think doing it directly or through a story changes the factor of a song/album being emotional or not, JT"

It kinda does. It goes without saying that a fictional story which carries the writers emotions is less a case of "pouring out one's soul" than writing directly about their own feelings.

Agreed hard!

Album Rating: 3.0

Here's how I see it: The power of Pink Floyd was always the combination of Waters/Gilmour/Wright. Waters came up with the cool concepts and Gilmour/Wright beef those up with cool instrumental parts. The band member not 100% liking eachother also started a bit of a competition which motivated the members to right even better music. Their masterpieces Whish You Were Here and Dark Side of The Moon are the epitome of this. On Animals the absence of Wright you can start to feel the absent of Wright, while Gilmour is still trying to implement his musical ideas. On this album it's clear that Gilmour/Wright are almost absent, except on a few tracks, which are instantly the best tracks like Comfortably Numb. The album just sounds so empty without them.



I agree with CamiloG, I too think 'Mother' is a horrible track, musical depth is 0, most boring cheesy bad lyrics I have ever heard. Don't get me started on Young Lust. I rate this album even lower than it deserves, because I just get sad how such a good band could fall down to this crap so fast.

well everyone was important in some facet, this is getting derailed. the point I'M trying to make is that The Final Cut is LITERALLY (YES, READ: LITERALLY) a more emotional, truer and expressive version of this album

Album Rating: 3.0

Ah and Waters vocals are completely unlistenable to me, Gilmour/Wright duo vocals ruled the hardest imo.

Album Rating: 4.5

@Zero: Totally agreed with your first paragraph, disagreed with the second and your rating of this though

may be, I think it isn't insane to say it is up to debate. The thing is, despite all of that is it better than The Wall as a whole? I doubt it m8

Album Rating: 4.0

I don't think they ever really had stellar vocals but honestly that doesn't matter to me. Waters' vox are certainly not the vox of the century but he knew how to transmit the needed emotion w/ his voice and he was good at that by George.

that's where subjectivity comes into the discussion. you say no, I say hell yes.

Album Rating: 4.0

For me Waters' vocals are really annoying sometimes, in that aspect Gilmour was way ahead imho.

Album Rating: 4.5

I didn't mean to say I don't like his vocals, he isn't perfect but he does a good work, I don't find them annoying at all but yeah, Gilmour is miles ahead in that aspect at least





Waters's vocals on Sheep are perfect though, that mix with the synth is one of the most genious things PF has ever done

Album Rating: 4.0

Waters' vox were never gonna win any awards for their aesthetic charm, but they delivered the music perfectly imo.

Album Rating: 4.0

see I just see it the complete opposite way. I think Waters' vox made the best parts of their music what they were, and I have just always gotten this feeling from Gilmour's vox that it's a tad disingenuous. not bad by any means but certainly not as emotionally fitting for the music and subject matter imo.

Album Rating: 3.0

gilmour+wright was best floyd vox but yeah roger's vox were always meh

Album Rating: 4.5

Waters's voice will never be as emotional as Gilmour's on High Hopes imo

Album Rating: 4.0

I get so much more emotion from Waters on probably every song than Gilmour's best moment tbh
