THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON REDUX

The dark side of depression. Short review: No Roger. Bad Roger. A little bit longer: Roger has made an audiobook with music added. That was my first impression. Second impression when I forced myself to listen to it again (why oh why?) I thought, how is it even possible to take this great album and turn it into a melancholic lullaby? I couldn't even listen to all the songs in their entirety; I had to skip through some of them to avoid downing half a bottle of antidepressants washed down with whiskey. It's unbelievably boring. It's like Roger 'Hybris' Waters has squeezed every ounce of joy out of the songs and forced the other musicians to play all the songs in a minor key at half the tempo at gunpoint. Tonight, I'll have to watch twelve episodes of some comedy series to regain my zest for life and not want to bury myself in the ground. It's a shame he didn't write "The Bright side of the moon" instead, as a sequel. Then we could have sat and laughed at the inherent joke. Roger, let's sing this old Monty Python song: Always look on the bright side of the moon, ta dam, ta dam, ta dam ta dam ta dam. Avoid at all costs. Ignore it happened.
