Pink Floyd Appreciation Thread

TDB and AMLOR are the only two that I don't think are any good. but with TDB I can at least listen to it and be bored, with AMLOR I just want to hurt myself.

^No it isn't. Bland and boring with bad lyrics. A real snoozefest. Love Momentary Lapse of Reason though.

Oh, I love `Division Bell', so melodic and pleasant to listen to! Nice thoughtful lyrics too, and Gilmour's voice in great form :)

The weakest one for me is `Momentary Lapse', just a little too overproduced and worked-over for it's own good, but it's still a fine album. At least half of the tracks are terrific, the rest perfectly listenable :)

I have to say, Pink Floyd is a band which I more or less love (or at the very least enjoy) every single album. I admire them so much because pretty much every album sounds completely different to the previous one, and each one has it's unique identity and sound. There's a Floyd album for every mood!

^It is probably my favourite album  by Floyd.

Speaking of soundtracks, Waters/Geesin's Music From The Body is amazing and the ancestor of Atom Heart Mother, isn't it?

Indeed many nice songs there, both among the songs that made it into the movie and those that didn't. Not you tipical Floyd song, but still very enjoyable.

As far as I know, there's no official release of Delicate Sound of Thunder on DVD... if somehow I missed it, I should have to go and get it right away. I remember something about Gilmour saying he wanted to release his Live at Venice show, since before PULSE was actually released, however so far I don't know it's been done. I do have an unoficial version, which I bought only because as far as I know it wasn't officialy available yet. However, given that show, and by the CD's, I sort of prefer the PULSE shows... though there are things I really love on Delicate Sound too.

^ It may say that I gave it a three, but that's for technical reasons. My personal enjoyment rating for it is a four out of five simply because the first half is astonishing. Also, I choose to neglect things like "Quicksilver" (which starts with the sound of crap flowing through the sewers), "More Blues", and the boring, monotonous themes. Other than that, the album's a real hoot.
