A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON

An epic sweep and a main theme, have both been the hallmark of Pink Floyd's great works,and in both those departments this album is seriously lacking, and with the absence of Roger Waters, "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason" has very little impact, it lacks aggression.

The songs are okay, but as stated in previous reviews this is basically a Dave Gilmour solo album, Pink Floyd only in name, much of it is mediocre as exemplified by tracks such as "On The Turning away", "One Slip", "Yet another Movie" and "Round and Round", many of these tracks have that Gilmour soporific element about them, they can send you to sleep.

"Learning to Fly" and "Dogs of War" sound like strong tracks and both are fine, but certainly wouldn't rank anywhere near too Pink Floyds best, and in the end I would not recommend this album to either a fan of Floyd or someone new to their music, it's all very average, a lame effort.
