I liked the album. It wasn't rock album and it had weak points but if you take it on its own terms instead of expecting a Floyd album or even a Waters solo rock album.... some of it was great. And even the weaker points were creative or interesting, which are two words that haven't applied to Floyd in many years.
I even kind of liked the marketing of having the prism spectrum-colored vinyl editions. It's frivolous, but it's also kind of fun. It's a much more clever idea than the 50th box set's marketing. And even if you think it's a cash grab, it's opt-in compared to the 50th box which was more all-or-nothing.
But probably nobody's going to change their minds in this thread and I feel like it's a pretty divisive topic, so I think I've said my piece for a bit.Last edited by grignr; 10-10-2023, 09:44 PM.

Ya know? After reading the review of Roger's redux show last night... So, he's touring this?!? Seriously?! After reading that I have to say that was more of a fuck with the audience kind of thing that reminds me more of Floyd opening a show with Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast. Aside from APB having actual music and that even sawing a wooden beam on stage is more interesting than what Roger just did. Considering that he's been phoning in these greatest hits for mainstream Floyd fans kind of shows, this is pretty in your face not that! I think I want to give him one point on this one!Last edited by jimfisheye; 10-10-2023, 07:00 AM.

He's finally got addicted to the admiration of a crowd that most rockers get in their early career.

This Redux version reminds me of "Word Jazz with Ken Nordine", except this is "Word Rock with Roger Waters".
I can see why some would say it's boring.
There are no peaks and valleys in the recording. It's all valleys. Same lower register and raspy singing all the way through.
Somewhat interesting, but I'll stick to the PULSE live recording or the original.

Geez this redux version is just awful, I couldn't get through it. All the life and excitement and energy and meaning and sonics have been completely drained out of a masterpiece.
As a famous bass player once said during the Wall shows, "Pah-thetic!" Now, where's that DSOTM Ultradisc? I need to cleanse my ears.

Absolute rubbish, laddie!!!
Rog's incoherent ramblings can't even be escaped during ACYL.
If his last solo album didn't thoroughly demonstrate that he's out of ideas, this really seals the deal.
Unlistenable dreck born of vanity and ego. How the mighty have fallen.And ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway?
