THE ENDLESS RIVER

Above all,talk about the sales of this album, the success he has had. Its clear that Pink Floyd, a band created in 1965, succeeded 50 years after its creation to be at the forefront of the ranking of the number of sales all over Europe,in the UK of course, but also in France, Germany and many other country. I'm not sure thats can be true for Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga in 50 years. To the wise...

First, all of the songs on this album is that all that have not been chosen for the album "the division bell"! Therefore, in theory, if these pieces were not chosen for the previous album is that they were considered less good!This album is out in a the little brother of "the division bell".

"One noodle street" has a jazzy side very nice, it's my favorite song, "Taking Hawking" is quite surprising, with the voice of Hawking found in "Keep talking" from the previous album, finally note the bells of "high hopes" for the album "the Division Bell" that can be heard at the end of "Surfacing", there have not much to say unfortunately... The other titles are very flat and uninteresting, the problem is that it does not take off ... For an hour we expect a piece shalt we leave the planet Earth, but nothing at all ,its very frustrating. I think this is partly due to the length of the songs, in fact the 17 that make up this album, 11 have a length of about 2 minutes! Pink Floyd is still known to be one of the few groups have produced a title that takes a vinyl face (Echoes-Meddle). Those like me who like Pink Floyd among others for the solos of David Gilmour will be disappointed because there have not. Except perhaps on "It's what we do", the second song on the album which is also one of the only good songs on it . It reminds me somehow to a medley of several songs of the two previous albums .

I take the risk of repeating myself but 17 instrumental tracks, it's too much too ... Only "Louder than words" is the only song sung, in this case by Gilmour.

The Endless River is 3 stars no more, no less. The album is not bad, its listenable, but for a band like Pink Floyd we still expect better.
