its a depressing masterpiece, Rogers finest hour.

It's really awful.

>>127006631 (OP)
very underrated album, and a better album on average than The Wall (although The Wall has the better standout tracks)
very sensitive and introspective instead of flashy and filled with le epic guitar solos, so gilmour drones can't appreciate it
as a matter of fact, this album mogs post-Waters Floyd and Gilmour's entire solo career
although it certainly feels more like a solo Waters album than a PF album

>MUH THATCHER
>MUH DAD

It didn't work well as a Pink Floyd album it really felt like a Water solo record.

david's solos on this album are fucking solid. peak feels

also not now john is a fucking banger

It has the absolute worst transitions that had ever appeared on a Pink Floyd album at the time of its release, which is shocking being that Pink Floyd excelled above all other bands in that area previously. It's also shocking how bad the songwriting is given that Waters had written many great songs on previous albums, writing the Wall almost singlehandedly. Very few people who express your opinion truly hold it, because this is a very poor album.

It was a low point for Waters as a songwriter, and it just so happened to coincide with the one time he got to write an entire Pink Floyd album all by himself.

let's just agree to disagree

The Beatles only really had a decade. The same should've been the case for Pink Floyd.

this
no band has been good for more than 12 years

>>127006631 (OP)
The Wall is the best album ever by far

I've recently realized that Waters is seriously complaining about UK government daring to respond to an invasion of British territory by a militaristic dictatorial regime. In light of modern political landscape, it has really soured my view on the idea of the album.

No one believes that.
>destroys the band
Roger already did that during The Wall sessions.
>never mentioned, ever
Roger still play songs from the album on his tours.

>>127009163
>although it certainly feels more like a solo Waters album than a PF album
Roger wanted to release it as a solo album but their label at the time refused.

>>127009401
Except Pink Floyd is actually good.

it's all cut content or afterthoughts to The Wall. literally a second rate The Wall

>album is 90% ballads
it's inherently awful

Amused to Death has one lyric about his dad, and it's not even the point of the song it's in. The album a Saucerful of Secrets is more of a concept album about Roger's dad dying than Amused to Death, because the one song on that album that mentions his dad actually is about him.

>Dark Side of the Moon

>Wish You Were Here

>>127012401
Amused to Death is mostly about WWII, which always ties in directly with his dad. Same as The Wall did with some songs and the movie too.

>>127012397
being emotional about a variety of subjects is different to it being about one singular subject across 3 albums

>>127006631 (OP)
It was so bad that they had to kick Roger's white hating ass out of the band. Nowadays you see him do shit like pic related.

What's funny is Gilmour now regrets releasing Endless River, claiming he was at the behest of the record label. Imagine your head being so far up your own ass at age 80.

>>127012441
yeah i agree. i was only joking around. the other three posts are mine too.

>>127012454
Funny how he regrets that and not that pure cringe Ukraine fundraiser single he released as Pink Floyd just for the name recognition.

>>127012431
So now if he's writing about anything that correlates with his dad in any way then it's the same thing as always singing about his dad. He was a part of the silent generation and grew up in post-WWII England. Why is he specifically forbidden from singing about the war?

You're also wrong about Amused to Death. It's mostly about the media and people getting hypnotized by entertainment and made docile.

>>127012454
well, at least he regrets it. it was embarrassing.

>>127012468
>Why is he specifically forbidden from singing about the war?
He's not and that isn't what I was saying at all, only doing it for multiple albums and songs is pretty tiresome. Same as if some faggot made every song and album about a specific ex-gf or something.

>>127012466
Based and Gilmour was the problem pilled.

>>127012441
You're lying about those three albums being about one subject. I don't even think you've heard Amused to Death. Having one line in an album barely mention something does not make that the subject of the entire album. I hate idiots like you.

>>127012466
Agreed, that song is the biggest piece of shit to have the Pink Floyd name on it.
His wife is also to blame, she's a Yoko-type histrionic.
I will say

>>127012485
He didn't do that, you're lying. There is one lyric on Amused to Death that vaguely alludes to his dad.

>>127012466
based and dubs

>>127012466
>Waters was critical of the song, saying it "lacked humanity" and constituted a "content-less waving of the blue and yellow flag" rather than an explicit call for the war to end.
I generally don't like Waters but this was accurate.

kill everyone did it better

Neil Postman's book Amusing Ourselves to Death is what inspired ol Reg.
Alot of those tracks were from his Kaos II demos which he eventually scrapped.

To slightly digress, Project Kaos is a fleshed out fan version of the OG Kaos. Duly recommended as it is more expansive than the original album, with Roger's insane melancholic trip.
This album got me thru a break up in the summer of 2018, that melancholic saxaphone takes me back to the desolate heat of the night.

I like The Final Cut but overall it sucks and is the end of the flawless run leading up to it
