Just another Floyd era
I got this album recently and personally I think it's fantastic, having a spacey and melancholy feel which is similar to the Wish You Were Here era. That said it is markedly different in it's musical balance. Gilmoure had always criticized Waters due to the fact that he felt the lyrics dominated the music too much (or something along those lines anyway)and this album is really a demonstration of how he thinks things should be done. br /Most of the criticism on here is about the lyrics not being as pointed as waters and the guitar solos being to frequent and long. I sympathize with this argument because by all accounts I would say that Waters really is a better lyricist. That said,I tend to relate to the music as much as the lyrics and I found that The Final Cut especially lacked as much musical prowess as it needed. Don't get me wrong it's a great album but the lyrics are taken over the music. In this album the lyrics blend very well with the music and become part of the melody in themselves which I love. br /In short this album (along with A Momentary Lapse of Reason) is a new era of Floyd just as we passed from Syd Barrett's psychedelic trips to the high point of Dark Side Of the Moon, we have now passed from Waters' political and disillusioned poetry to Gilmoure's more melodic and melancholy domain. br /Incidentally I found High Hopes one of the most powerful musical pieces I have encountered because of how true the message is and if you can relate to it you'll know what I mean.

One of the best, without a doubt!
This Floyd album is up there with all the others, and is definately not to be missed in your collection. Gilmour and his band have created a brilliant piece of music which has so much to it, like the previous albums. Professional critics have stained the quality of this album, giving it poor reviews and ratings, but the public love it. Marooned is the only Pink Floyd track ever to have won a Grammy, and rightly so. The album has gone triple-platinum as well. High Hopes, the final track is one of the best Floyd tracks recorded, it is a fantastic finish to the album. br /Pink Floyd definately left with a bang! br /It is my second favourite Floyd album, and everybody should give it a go, if you haven't already!

Close your eyes and drift off...
Into the world of Pink floyd. br / br /It has taken me a long while to get into Pink floyd seeing as I am 21 and most of pink floyds albums where before my birth, this being the final realse and the only one I can remember from when i was a child. br / br /Somehow I have found It easier to get into other Old Rock bands such as Kansas, Rush and led zepplin, But I think this is where to start If you want to find out about Pink floyd. br / br /I can accpet this is not their best work but I think its there mose friendly and would advise this for a first time listner, then followed by Dark side of the moon. br / br /This album is so soothing it will send you away.

My favourite album
This isn't just my favourite Floyd album but my favourite album of all time. If it was vinyl I would have worn it out years ago. I don't even know who Roger Waters is/was and his presence could not have improved this superb CD. br /Sure, old Floyd stuff is good but this is their best.
