The worst of the worst

Masini was just to mention one rubbish and probably not the worst at all... I agree about the period, and given it TFC was probably one of the best things released in that period.

With no doubt, The Final Cut!

The Final Cut ! 

I do not consider Big Generator to be so worse (ok, it's not a peak), nor ThrakkaKAKTZKFKZEELRGK (you see ?).

Alright gents. Play nice.  After all threads with the title worst in them are uncivil enough on their own.

This? This what? Speak Engrish, Troupe! (and who's the turd with the guitar?)

^^^^

Except that's almost never quite how it happened.  Just how like how comparing 90125 to Close to the Edge makes no sense, whereas from Drama to 90125 sounds, naturally, a better reflection of the truth. There's this unofficial fansite called Renaissance Prologue I think and they have uploaded the tourbooks for all the albums from Scheherazade through to Azure D Or and that tells you more about the  gradual change in 'priorities' of the band.  That said, it's still rather strange how they completely lost it after Song for all Seasons, which in 1978 was more inspired than Love Beach, And Then There Were Three or Tormato.  Azure D Or sounds tired and uninspired and not the album you'd expect of a band on the rise.  Perhaps, the 'camps' that seem to have formed within the band were tearing them apart by then.

Melody is overrated 2 Roger Waters can't sing --> What he does works just fine for this album 3 It's not a Pink Floyd-album --> Oh, I'll need to check the name on the sleeve again. And why would Pink Floyd care what people think a Pink Floyd album should sound like? 4 Does he HAVE to tell us how bad the world is over and over again? --> No he doesn't have to, but still he does Has he got so little inspiration that he can't write about anything else? --> I don't care what writers write about, as long as they do it with sincerity and skill 5 Where's David Gilmour? He IS the better singer! --> Mostly in the right speaker shredding a few fantastic solos and not singing co's he had a cold 6 It's an uninspired thing to pick songs which were thrown into the bin during the recording of "The Wall" because they weren't good enough. --> Animals was also written during the Wish You Were Here sessions. Does that make Animals a bad album? 7 Where's Rick Wright? He too is a better singer. --> I don't miss his voice but there's a big keyboard shaped whole where he used to be. 8 Where's Nick Mason.... oh, forget this one, he's not a singer and is not a good drummer anyway. --> He is a great drummer, you recognize him in under 10 seconds (that's two beats probably) 9 It may be progressive, but where's the ROCK?? Only "Not now John" is there to kick you out of the coma this album gives to you, but by then the album is (thank God) almost over. --> Rock is overrated

It's a fine and original album. Quite unique and bashed because of that.
