This cd is pretty good. The best part, though, is the foam that holds the cd.

Good stuff it is. Favourite tracks at-the-mo are probably Take A Breath(because it's the only foot-stomper on here), This Heaven(because it's hella catchy), and the title track which is pure class.

It's definitely comparable with Pink Floyd's work, The Division Bell being the closest relative I would think, although this album supersedes that in terms of subtlety. There's hardly anything with a pulse on this CD.

That doesn't mean it's no good though, as I'm enjoying it very much. And for the first time ever, the album booklet is actually an album booklet!

I picked this one up today. Pretty Impressive album.

I'm a Pink Floyd fan, so I thought I'd try it out because I think David Gilmour is one of the greatest guitarists ever. No doubt about it.

The music is perfect for headphone listening (like Floyd) and would make a pretty good soundtrack to kicking back and downing a few cold ones on a Sunday arvo. I Particularly like 'Take A Breathe'...Enjoying your work, Mr. Gilmour.

I think the packaging is top-notch aswell.

I quite like the album as a whole. The Title track gives me chills down my spine; I can't help but love it. A few of the songs are somewhat uninteresting and that's probably the main flaw of the album but it has some great moments and I can definitly put it on my chill out albums list. Plus the cover art and the case itself are awesome although that's of little importance.

I went into Scotties one day. And over the speaker, i heard a song that sounded earily like Pink Floyd. It sounded pretty amazing, actually. So i asked the guy at the counter what it was. He said, "It's David Gilmour's new album."



So i bought it immediately. THis is awesome stuff man. It's actually really good. I can't get enough of it. Don't think i'm some 50 year old Pink Floyd fan who'll buy anything one of them put out. I'm actually only 14 and i love this album.

After a few more listens, I decided to up my original rating. The guitar leads on this album are so good that I just had to learn some of them.

seems about right, this is a bit too sedate for its own good from memory, might give it another spin though
