Hahaha, I can already hear the dadrockers : "sure it's not as good as Dark Side or The Wall, but trust me son it's still far better than all the shit kids listen to these days"

My dad is never like that actually. He never complains about modern pop but I know he does not like it one bit.

He's always criticizing albums no matter what, especially if they're new ones from bands he likes. I'm almost positive he'd shoot down this album if he heard it on its release.

I'm sorry but I'm predicting this is going to flop.

Yes, but at least some of the dead members are involved, as well.

It's not actually outtakes. It's based on music that was recorded during The Division Bell, and that was almost released at one point separately of that album. But not outtakes. And because the album is built on tracks that were originally recorded with Richard Wright, the album does, in fact, feature the same lineup Pink Floyd had since the departure of Waters.

Exactly this. I'm actually looking forward to this. Ambient noodling from Pink Floyd has got to be better than the Division Bell was.

They say that it's an album of "mainly ambient and instrumental music". Pink Floyd are my joint favourite band, but I am fearful for how this album's gonna turn out. It's not really new (being Division Bell outtakes) and it's not really Pink Floyd either (David and Nick being the only living members involved). Watch this be either incredible or terrible.

Or great, good, average, mediocre, poor, awful, or somewhere else on the scales of quality. It could literally be anything. No-one knows.

I meant newly released.

You're right though, most of the album will consist of outtakes, but there will be some newly recorded material on there as well.

It would be wrong not to feel excitement, but I can't help but think I'm gonna be letdown once October comes.

I couldn't care less about the album release itself nor about Pink Floyd's motives for making it, but it sure is annoying as hell how every single one of my friends seems to be under the impression that both a) I haven't heard about this yet and b) I cared at all the first time I heard about it. I'm having a similar experience with the release of the new Mastodon album.

I see your point, definitely, but I don't think it's necessarily fair to categorize it as that before it's released. I mean, it could be good, IDK. I have low expectations, sure, but

Memory Almost Full by Paul McCartney

was better than almost anything he did with Wings and certainly anything else he did solo. Hell

Free as a Bird by The Beatles

is one of my preferred Beatles songs. Genesis was still pretty good after Peter Gabriel left. There have been recoveries. I just don't think this will be. But I don't think it's fair to knock it just yet.

Ugh. But in all honesty, they really shouldn't have done this. Bad call for the band.
