THE ENDLESS RIVER

Did we really need this?

Imagine that you're really hungry and you are so in the mood for pizza, so you go to one of the best pizza places in town and you order your favorite flavor in the biggest size they have, then you go home and just when your saliva is about to fall from your mouth you open the pizza box only to find out that instead of pizza you got a lot of half-eaten and cold pieces of pizza, horrible, isn't it? Well, that's what I experienced with this album.

The endless river was released in 2014 after 20 years of hiatus, with Richard Wright already dead and, obviously, without any participation of Roger Waters. I'm not even sure if it is correct to consider this a studio album more than a compilation one: a compilation of "songs" (because they're more like ideas of songs that didn't make it into "The division bell") just re-recorded to make some extra millions of dollars.

When the album starts we can find an instrumental opening just as the two last Pink Floyd albums, so it's easy to believe the album would be as good as them, but the following songs sound exactly the same, it is like an album full of "Cluster one" repeating itself over and over again. After ten or fifteen minutes it's easy to get really bored.

I've been listening to this album several times since it came out six years ago, hoping to fall in love with it but I just can't appreciate it, I only get really disappointed once more, as if it was that awful pizza I talked about before. There's nothing in this album that I can save.

I just don't get it.
