It has been said that the Pink
Floyd's 14th album was pale in comparison to their albums from the late 1960's
to early 1980's. I've read reviews that were very harsh against this album,
because 2 members of the band had left it and that the remaining was a bit
boring, or badly written or that the music was less melodious or too long, etc
etc etc
Ok, maybe i'm not a professional
critic, I never pretended to be one. Maybe it's a lesser album than the ones
considered Floyd's masterpieces - i'll grant this possibility on the
technical level.
However, I discovered this band with this album as i entered my 20's. My mother was a fan, but I wasn't open-minded, musically speaking, to listen to their 1960-70 period, which is one that I didn't tend to like at all.
