you've got to respect their efforts on this, but overall it feels forced and incoherent.

The Narrow Way is fantastic, Sysyphus is great too but needed Wright vocals bad.

Yeah I know it sucks, both are good. Demi bro it's one of the weaker ones in Floyd's catalogue but there's still some bangers on it, particularly The Narrow Way.

The only real problem with it the Grand Vizier's Garden Party imo, that's just 8 minutes of utter bullshit. All the other tracks are good to great.

"Yeah I know it sucks, both are good."



Even tho Gilmour is kind of made out to be the harmed innocent good-guy of the Gilmour/Waters battles, they both seem equally pessimistic and cynical to me.

Nah I can understand Gilmour being displeased with this stuff even though I disagree with it. Neither are entirely innocent of course but the difference to me is that Gilmour actually admits to making mistakes, Waters doesn't.

True true



One interview I saw they asked Gilmour what his thoughts were on The Wall and he was like "It lacks... soul" I lol'd

It's true though, not in terms of emotion but it severely lacked melody and Gilmour/Wright vocals.

i appreciate the wall and even enjoy listening to it but at the same time i absolutely fucking hate it, probably because it makes me so bitter as to how it ended peak-floyd

Yeah I can appreciate it for sure and there's some bangers on there but it's so frustrating to listen to because it could've been so much more if Gilmour and Wright had been more involved in it. Personally I wouldn't say it ended peak Floyd though, I love the Final Cut and the Division Bell.

I seem to not like TFC as much as most people on here. I do really like it but I think the amount of Roger singing on it takes away some of the replay value for me.

I'd say it's one of Roger's better vocal performances, he pretty much straight up sucked on the Wall whereas I actually quite like him on TFC. Gilmour and Wright not singing is a travesty regardless though. I could go into a long rant about why I prefer TFC to the Wall but it's too late and hard to type on my phone so basically the Gunner's Dream > all

Admittedly, I need to give it another spin sometime soon. I think the concept also puts me off a bit. It's certainly not a fresh idea for Floyd at that point, and I get kind of tired listening to Water's talking about his "daddy dying" etc.



Don't get me wrong, the far-reaching effects of war on individuals is an absolutely important concept, but the past concepts of life, mental health, death, loss, and even actual politics seem much more grandiose and interesting to me than the aforementioned.
