I personally love this album as much as I love all the other Pink Floyd albums.

People don't want to give it credit since it doesn't have Waters, at least thats what it seems like for the most part.

[QUOTE=the mighty zep]9. Keep Talking [/B] / 6:11 - Pretty groovey intro, especially i minute into it. Lyrics flow pretty well with the rest. A backround choir comes in after every line of lyrics and makes a different response to the words, which sounds good when you here it. another weird announcer-like voice comes in here and there during the song which you here before and after the first verse. The a guitar solo on full distortion kicks in, and goes into and keyboards solo. back into the verse, and i believe Dave starts soloing with a Wah wah pedal, but sounds pretty weird. song fades like it started. This song represents music only pink floyd can provide for us. 5/5

Correction, it is a talk box he uses :thumb:

I got this album for Christmas. I love the musical aspect of this album(Lyrically it was meh to me). As always, Gilmour contributes great guitarwork, and I love the keyboard throughout the album, (especially during the chorus of High Hopes.)

Coming back to Life, Keep Talking, and High Hope are my favorite tracks on this album.

Album Rating: 4.0

Ain't it Stephen Hawking on Keep Talking? There's special thanks to him in the booklet thingy and I presumed that it was him. I thought it was pretty cool. Who else but Floyd would have stephen Hawking as a guest vocalist?



And I think that post-Waters Floyd is a completely different sound to what Waters did with the band. More musically centered I feel. Lyrics are poorer (still good, though) but it I think that Gilmour was always a better musician than Waters. Oh well. You'd think they'd make a perfect team.



And does anyone know why thanks are given to Douglas Adams on this album?

Douglas Adams was a friend of David Gilmour's and the person who gave the album it's name by picking words from the lyrics to one of its tracks. Douglas Adams was also allowed to make a guest appearance playing rhythm guitar during one of the 1994 Division Bell concerts in London--playing on the tracks "Brain Damage" and "Eclipse" off DSOTM. Another interesting fact is that the Pink Floyd was the inspiration for the band Disaster Area from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy.

On a side note: Can't wait until they release the new Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie.

That's cool. I thought that they were linked somehow. I knew that Adams was a fan but didn't realise he was so close to the band. And he actually played with them at a concert? Well lordy.



And yes, new movie will hopefully be good, definitely won't equal the book, but something to get excited about all the same

I like this album quite a bit. It is really poppy and doesn't have the direction of a Waters era Floyd, but it's still relaxing. David Gilmour also porved he can write competent lyrics witht his outing, he's not Roger but they'll do.

i've learned that roger really wasn't a neccasity in the group,but it sure did help.we shouldn't try to dis or pro any of PF's music but cherish it for what it is,not how it sounds.i haven't personally listened to TDB but i'm sure it's just fine.i'd also like to check out some of gilmour's solo cd's.and maybe roger was a freak,but if u went through the things he went through in his life,i'd kinda be paranoid about things too.

Definitly Floyd's best post Waters work, and you a good review to boot. High
Hopes is actually one of my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs. The music video is
sooooooooooo weird, though.

This album has got different sound than the other albums of Pink Floyd , and it's a refresh . A good one . I really liked this album . And people , forget about Waters . So what if he didn't take a part in this album? it doesn't mean that it must be a piece of crap . Gilmour is also a great musician . On other hand , seems like Gilmour couldn't write everything just by himslef and with the other band members - so he had to take some people from outside . And that i really don't like . But if you think about that , Waters is not in the band anymore which means that the most creative brain is missing . But still , it doesn't make this album bad .

I love the way people assume that voice is Stephen Hawking, like he's the only person suffering from the need for a computer to talk, or the only person in the world with one of those machines.

But hey, it might be, it's quite a deep comment, might be Hawking. But more likely just an old qoute spoken with a computer

Good album, not really Pink Floyd, but pretty cool, nice atmosphere to it

Waters isnt a freak, he just got a bit self involved toward The Wall and Final Cut albums.
He saved Animals tho, gr8 Waters led album

He has a huge forehead though. And a big nose, too.

I hated this album, then i listened to it. I LOVE IT

The voice on Keep Talking sounds like Stephen Halking

way to revive the thread to repeat something that's already been explained

but this is a good album
I Like WYWH, The Wall, and Piper at the Gates of Dawn Better tho

Floyd pwns

Album Rating: 2.0

Although I haven't heard all of this, the songs that I heard wern't up to par. I think Floyd should have stopped making music in the 80's.

It's not that bad...their best post The Wall album, but not in the same league as anything they recorded at their peak. It's a decent enough album.

I didn't really like this album. Some tracks were good, but a lot sounded like that relaxation music. Well, guess a band can't have every album amazing.

Album Rating: 2.0

I just borrowed this from my friend that loves Pink Floyd. I listened to it all the way through twice and although it wasn't as awful as I thought it would be, it was still poor.



The first two tracks are brilliant, but after that things go down hill fast.

Album Rating: 2.5

this is a very dull album, I think I may just have to review another unpopular Floyd album.
