Pink Floyd: A Momentary Lapse Of Reason.

It's not a favorite of mine as I consider it a second rate Pink Floyd album. However, when thought of as a Gilmour solo album, of which it was first intended, it's quite impressive. Your thoughts please.

I enjoyed it when it came out and on the subsequent tours, but it doesn't age well for me. Similar to 'The Division Bell', which was patchy and felt like there was some filler between a few great songs. As you say though, it was in reality a Gilmour solo album in essence and he probably only released it as Pink Floyd to annoy Roger

My Top 7 Pink Floyd albums:-

^ I think my Top 7 speaks for itself, without needing to express an opinion which you'll no doubt disagree with.

Love it, it's a Dark Side esque album but with all the 80's shaneningans and super cheesy stuff. Learning to Fly and Sorrow are amazing tracks, top tier PF sfuff, while Yet Another Movie is a very underrated psychodelic track.

Also, the remix with Nick's drums and more organ from Rick was a pretty interesting take on the album.

I did buy it and listened to it a couple of times.  Again, why are you rating it so high?  Simply because I like The Endless River marginally more that A Momentary Lapse of Reason at #5 in my Top 7.

Sean Trane wrote: A Permanent Lapse of Reason, is easily (hands down) the worst album bearing the PF name. Not only was it originally a Gilmour solo album (quickly morphed to force the Floyd name ownership), but it suffers from crappy 80's sonic values and apart from a few Mason drum fills and a  Wright  layer of KB here or there (if that's not total revisionism), it's David alone with a bunch of guest . Now as a Gilmour solo album, is it any worse than About Face or the soporific On An Island?
