First side skipped so much despite cleaning that I finally had to switch to streaming it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine played through fine. Hopefully you can get an exchange fairly easily! Finished my first listen and initial impressions are great. It will be some time before I decide where it lands as far as scoring but I liked it a great deal. I have a 2 hour drive coming up later today so I'll be streaming it in the car then. Later tonight, I'll be able to give it a real work out and spin the LP again while it's at a ridiculously high volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 cant wait to hear it! I love Animals can her that in one or two of the previously released tracks. Others not at all. The timbre of the strats being a bit more rugged is one of the Animals connections to me. Not sure Ill be able to get it today - ahhhhhh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This record is good. Really fucking good. It's the most straight up Floyd thing he's done in his solo career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the theme of it as it relates to the album, it's just a little less than I was hoping for. Then again, between the music and the artwork, I'd rather the artwork lack than the music lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Storm having passed away I guess I should've seen that coming, even if Roger hasn't always worked with him, he maybe would've this time again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you this much, a lot of the piano work seems like a direct tip of the hat to Rick, which I enjoy a great deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Ricks playing. Ill gladly take that too. But it does seem bitter sweet on a few fronts, to me. But Ricks style should live on so thats great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 How much longer can you do tour? Probably, not much longer. This might well be the last one. If it goes on for a couple of years I may well be done. We'll see. You never say never. I try and stay fit. I am fit, otherwise I couldn't do it. So we'll see. Is it possible that any time before you call it quits, you and former Floyd guitarist David Gilmour will do a set of shows? I think it's very unlikely. http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/7817707/roger-waters-talks-veterans-touring-and-calling-it-quits?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand where Wait For Her fits in with the record but I like the song enough that I'm glad it's on there. I know a lot of people who are far more into this album right off the top than they've ever been with any of his previous solo work, so that's good too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Yep. This has fully grown on me now. Really, REALLY good album especially if it's to be his last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought I'd just say that because I'm such a big fan. I've had some time to really dig in and it's quite impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NachoLZ Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 The best part of the album for me is the song combo of Oceans Apart and Part of me Died, that transition is so perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
