I like it but I spose it's exactly what I was expecting I have a ticket so will enjoy it live next month as well
OAI was dull though I do like the title track and I like in any tongue and tidy on this one but on the whole - terminally dull and yes the lyrics are A Level English literature student at best.
Much as I worship DG and he was the reason I picked up a guitar, Waters can do a cracking solo album with a hired gun on the guitar, Gilmour needs waters lyrics to set his glorious tone against.
The stuff he wrote with Pete Townshend on about face was pretty good, the stuff he's written with Yoko, sorry, Polly - sadly falls very short of the mark.
Still, as someone said, at least he's touring and that way we still get to hear sorrow and run like hell live - or I will do next Friday night
But LDR with Gilmour on guitar... that could be amazing.

Can't imagine how that would work.
Would they sing on each other's songs, like the Paul Simon and Sting tour? Or with Gilmour as a sideman? I think I've only ever heard him as a sideman to Macca ("No More Lonely Nights", Run Devil Run) and Roger Waters <ducks projectiles>, but I can't really see his style working on LDR's pretentious dull-core mumblings.
...actually, on reflection, I reckon he could get away with it. The Orb album he did had no interesting chord progressions on it and no discernable tunes beside what Gilmour brought to the table, but it was pretty good.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Although, given what a lot of people seem to think of Roger's lyrics...

Heh. I thought that as I was writing it.
People complain about Mrs Gilmour's "sixth form poetry" lyrics as if that was the last comparison you'd think of making when you heard "Dark Side Of The Moon".
I guess I find Waters' fake everyman character more palatable than LDR's fake hipster.

Video for a track ..
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I'm aware that he's worked with other people, Kate Bush in particular, but I've never liked her music so I've never really listened to his contributions to it.

I understand DG wants to be a solo artist - but you probably need to have more to say than he obviously does these days. The good news is it's got him out playing again.
Funnily enough, I've just listened to his first solo album again. 'I Can't Breath Anymore' from it is an absolute stonker of a song.
