If A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell sound like David Gilmour solo albums in whcih he's actually TRYING to make a good album, then Rick Wright's Broken China sounds like Rick Wright trying to make a bad David Gilmour solo album. The music is all lush keyboards, but it's devoid of the melodies Wright used to revel in on Floyd's early albums. This is his first and only solo album after the Floyd's last album and his second and last ever. It's too bad it couldn't have been better. Still not bad, but it shouldn't be the first Floyd solo album you pick up.
