[QUOTE=bennyl]I think he'll do fine also, but they are best done together.

Welcome to the Machine can also be seen as just life in general, sucking the life out of people... And I also said that we may consider dual analyses, simply because there were only 5 songs in the album. However, you have to respect Dibs, otherwise I could have demanded that I do Brain Damage and Eclipse together. You can still draw on each others reviews. Just make use of the edit button. :)

I think the greatest thing about WYWH is that Roy Harper sings "Have a Cigar". It's not because I like Roy Harper so much either. It's that of all the people to sing that song it's Roy Harper. It's sooo ironic. He's been titled "The Longest Running Underground Act in the World". :lol:

I would like to see this thread a more challenging feat. Not that I'm complaining of what you guys are doing but I think it be awsome if we could do [I]Piper of the Gates of Dawn[/I]. It would be very hard but I think most of us know the meaning of most of the songs we're doing. Does anyone agree? Just a thought.....

Great job DMV. :thumb:

I gotta stay more up to date on this thread...so are you guys doing WYWH next? Ill do a lyric anylsis of a song if you want

EDIT: To DMV

that was a good analysis there...I never really thought of the iron bell signifying the presence of God. good job :thumb:

Go ahead and do Brain Damage. I typed something out, hit submit, and my labtop had lost internet connection while I was typing it out and couldn't submit :upset:

The whole thing got erased and I don't feel like writing it again. Just make it good. :thumb:

Nice avatar. The Who rock my socks frequently. Brain Damage/Eclipse up soon!

That is awesome. I Just wish it had the clock sounds from the end of the track.

I loved that Bike thing. The funniest part for me was when the Ginger Bread man said Satan is my Master :lol::lol:

Yea, I understand the concepts. I still think it would be fine if they are done separately, get over it.

[QUOTE=TheDMV]Do you like my edited version with Breathe Reprise reveiwed?[/QUOTE]

yeah, its awesome

I just bought Pulse and it is amazing, but I have one question. Why the hell is Run Like Hell so popular? I hear it more than any other Floyd tune on the radio and it's the final encore on Pulse. It fits in well on The Wall but really isn't that good alone. After Comfortably Numb I was a little let down by Run Like Hell. I wish they did Dogs or something better to close it out with.

Well, I don't know about the popular part, I don't think it's that popular, but I think Pink Floyd puts it there, because either they love to play it, or it's a great closing song. You have to admit that Run Like Hell finishes off Pulse greatly.

It's pretty good, I just think they could have put a better song on. Here in NY it's on the radio more than other Floyd songs seem to be.

I enjoy Run Like Hell, but it isn't very popular here so it isn't overplayed.

On [b]WYWH[/b] I call dibs on [i]Shine On You Crazy Diamond part 1 & 2[/i]. I don't think it's necessary for dividing these two songs, since they basically deal with the same thing, which is Syd Barrett.

I almost never hear any Floys on the radio. I have heard Comfotably Numb, ABItW2, Mother and Brain Damage. A couple of them appeared on the philly 500 memorial day countdown

Just because the concepts are similar does not mean they must be analyized together. But I think this should be allowed just because there are not many lyrics in SOYCD(6-9).

I'll have to wait for a ruling from Riva, but I'd allow you to do both.

I think we should finish DArk Side before we move on to WYWH. I'd love to do one for WYWH but I don't have the album :o

[QUOTE=TheDMV]I think we should finish DArk Side before we move on to WYWH. I'd love to do one for WYWH but I don't have the album :o[/QUOTE]

We are. Right now people are just calling dibs on the WYWH songs while the other Dark Side songs are completed. As I said before though, we aren't starting any other albums until we get WYWH underway.

So far:
SOYCD(All parts until further notice): Slowhand
Welcome to the Machine: Bennyl
Have a Cigar: MYR
WYWH: Riva

Edit: Riva, what about the dual analysis?

Ooooh, ooh, I can do WYWH!! I downloaded that song. Dibs. :cool:

I believe Riva already called dibs on WYWH.

Edit: At least I think he did.


Edit: He did. [url]http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7960040&postcount=4803[/url]



And did you know that people bash WYWH like MAD on Amazon?

Look

[quote=ignorant idiot]Buying this CD would erase your credibility. Fact: Pink Floyd are rock and roll's least-respected band. It's the truth!
[/quote]

and...

[quote=another ignorant idiot]
NEVER BUY THIS CD FOR IT IS HORRENDOUSLY BAD.
IT HAS ONLY 5 TRACKS AND OH MY ARE THEY AWFUL.
AND THE UGLY COVER IS A TAKEN OF ILL RESPECT FOR LIFE AND SENDS YOUR FOUR YEAR OLDS CRYING IN FRIGHT.

overall conclusion: the people who say it is good are either crazy or on dope. [/quote]

These are about Dark Side...

[quote=this kid is a moron, yes I said KID, it was a kid's review]re you into drugs?
then this is the album for you!

From the first notes of speak to me breath, through on the run EVERY SONG HERE is about uncontrolled substances.

speak to me breath - marihuana
on the run - heroin
great kick in the sky - lsd
time - you need time to buy the good stuff
money - you need a lot of money to buy the best stuff
any colour you like - lsd,amfetamine, crack-cocaine
us and them - dealers and junkies
brain damage - the result of all of the above substances
eclipse - a mind-altering state into the abyss.

i think this cd should be banned for children under 65.[/quote]

[quote=moron]Pink Floyd are contenders for worst band ever. This album provides plenty of evidence why they just might be the worst music makers of all time. Not one good song here.[/quote]


This was for the Wall

[quote=stupid]If Pink Floyd are so great, then why haven't they done a new album in 11 years? Britney has been collecting awards, making headlines, and selling records consistently since 1999. Pink Floyd have done absolutely NOTHING within that time frame. Nothing. No awards, no sales. Nada. I mean, you really have to skip this album. It is, by all accounts, terrible. [/quote]

[quote=another kid review]As long as there are unintelligent people who feel deprived there is a feeding ground for utterly nonsensical and childish cds like the wall.The first time I heard this horrendously bad CD I was amazed at the level (or: lack of level) of awareness and adulthood these musicians lacked. It is obvious they have chosen to stay as 'babes in the wood', hitting out to the world and yelling for attention for their inconsistent dreams. Oh my, this Cd is really really bad. Where shall I begin? Let us say what I have already indicated. This group sounds like a bunch of brats all yelling out 'Look at us we're hurt and betrayed'. (To THINKING man and beast the joke is clear: yes they were hurt and betrayed and THEY THEMSELVES were the ones who did it, don't whine and whimper no more, sissy girls!)The music(if that is what you should choose to call it)is completely dull and TASTELESS.examples? Take Comfortabilly numb and Mother. These must be in the top two of atrocious songs ever recorded on the face of this earth. Dumb lyrics and repetative themes, clearly a case of aspergers' disease.Also Hey You and the Brick trilogy (what is the use, version one is bad and so are two and three, thanks band for your kindness)are not exactly tunes I would dye for, not in the least bit, you know.To cut a long story short this is a bad album without either memorable songs or performances.OK I know all rock music is named 'the noise of the depraved', but this lousy CD is clearly the worst.
you've been told. [/quote]

Yes, yes he did. Sorry DMV, I missed that when I was checking. I edited the list.

All right. No worries. I'll wait for the Wall or whatever's up next. Unless we're doing the 2 reveiws per song thing. But I can wait.

The Wall would be quite a challenge.

Look at my edit.

[QUOTE=MalcolmYoungRock]Look at my edit.[/QUOTE]

I died a little on the inside when I read those. I wish I could e-kill those people. I'd have ben better off if you didn't post those.

There are always morons that write reviews on Amazon, just because they can.
