4 stars This is my favourite Pink Floyd Solo album. Better than On a island by Gilmour and better than amused to death by waters.

I thinks wright here achieved perfect balance betwen the music and the concept. Whille On a island sound like Pink floyd but is weak as a concept and lyrics, Broken China is strong as a concept. While amused to deah is weak for the music part some time, Broken chine is strong for the music part.

What i am trying to say here is that Broken China capture the very essence of a PF record while having is own personnality. I am really impressed by how strong some track are (runaway, black cloud. far from the harbour wall, reaching for the rail, breakthroug) etc.

The excecution is aslo brillant. Broken China is a concept album about depression and you can feel the despair and the dark atmosphere for all the album expect the last track (this one represent the end of the depression.)

You need to listen to this album, ist not on spotify neither on youtube but ist the most prog and complex album of all solo member.
