Just an abysmal album. I'm not a Pink Floyd hater but I can't stand this, an almost parodic redux of The Wall that feels like a soap opera to me.

inb4 THIS ALBUM IS LITERALLY HITLER



I actually love this album. Like, legitimately love this album. It may be all Roger Waters-ed down but you know what, it's pretty good stuff. Gilmour's guitar work is still awesome (see: "Your Possible Pasts" and "The Fletcher Memorial Home") and Waters' lyrics are fine. To me, this album is just a slight step below The Wall.

So yea. It's good and gets WAY more hate than it deserves.

739? Boo! There's better albums being held down by mediocre stuff like this.

In Pink Floyd terms: Don't be a sheep. Praising an album just because it's from a generally good band is akin to believing in something just because it was said by a generally good person.

It's pretty okay for what is basically a roger waters solo album, it's far from my favourite pink floyd album though
