Shots fired!
... at a couple pretty big targets.
I remember all these "after the fact" albums not having any of the weird amazing surprises and odd bids of edgy music that classic Floyd albums delivered. I've tried to go back and listen a few times over the years. Thinking I was probably just being hipster with 'only the old stuff is any good' at the time. And then I reach for the skip ahead button pretty quickly and the experiment doesn't last very long!
Momentary Lapse = the sound of cocaine
Division Bell = sort of a Pink Floyd facsimile
Is This The Life We Really Want = the sound of phoning it in and laziness
I don't really listen to lyrics. Older Floyd lyrics just sound cool or something. The newer stuff doesn't do anything either direction for me. Except it sounds like the 'formula' where people make songs that are some lyric and vocal with music as secondary background. I just don't find that very interesting like weird old Floyd.
Anyway, yeah those are targets for calling out recycled bits! Speaking of later career recycling, any Hawkwind fans here?
