Floyd is weird. I was so into them for about two weeks. I would listen to nothing else. Haven't really listened to them since. I mean I'll listen to an album or two every now and then and I see why I really liked them, but it's just not there anymore.

I have re-realized my appreciation for Gong.

Generation Kill is pretty good, but David Simon hates America too much.

I think he actually carted Stephen Hawking in for that one. I don't know why, it's not a good song. Only about half of Division Bell is listenable, and High Hopes is the only good song.

I haven't been into Floyd lately, but I watched Echoes on youtube a while ago and it still blows my mind.

I wish I had gotten Flying Teapot. This album is pretty boring, I'll stick with early PF.

Good choice. Early Floyd is why I like Space Rock.

I watched 500 Days of Summer and then listened to She & Him - Volume One and I have one thing left to say: Zooey Deschanel.

Did someone say Cult of Luna?

ACYL did, although since you had to read the post I'm sure you already knew that.

Yes, I'm listening to CoL
| Somewhere Along the Highway is a really good album. Also, the Fall of Troy concert tonight was easily the most intense concert I've ever been to. It was almost too much for me (and that says something given that I've withstood Opeth and Between the Buried and Me). In proportional terms, because the venue and stage were really small, it had the largest and most intense mosh pit I've ever seen. I was 10 feet from one of the exit doors and on the edge of the pit. Still a really good concert though.

And Cult of Luna is an epic band. Knew about them for some time, but didnt start listening for real until a few weeks ago actually.

Yeah. I've owned the album for years, but I've only listened to it probably four total times. I can see why, haha.

High Hopes is a good track, but The Division Bell as a whole feels less like PF and more like solo Gilmour with PF aesthetics, at least to me.
