A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON

if people really appreciate that music that Pink Floyd did, they would not buy this hideous excuse of an album. maybe two songs (learning to fly and sorrow) are good, but they don't even live up to expectations i had of this album. let's start with the first song, it's boring, ineffective, and poorly done. songs with lyrics, we can just kind of group those all into one description...the songwriters obviously were trying to overblow what they thought roger waters, who is the greatest songwriter in all of progressive/art rock, would write and just sort of made him seem like the guy who didn't care about what he was writing...here is some news for all of the songwriters on this album...HE CARED! im sure that he has probably heard the album and laughed when he heard the song "Dogs of War", which is probably THE worst Floyd song i have had the audacity to hear, i mean could it be more...horrible? then there are the "filler" tracks that don't necessarily need to be there at all, example a new machine pt. 1 and 2, i think GILMOUR put those in just to feel like he had taken control of the band and the music. they're boring, over-blown, and poorly written, and he said that "Vera" and "Bring the Boys Back Home" from "The Wall" were bad, but he must think this is good...please think twice before buying this...since I am a completionist and intend on having every one of their albums(I'm at 12), i bought it...as a matter of fact, i would get an iTunes account if i were you and just download the album and not waste your money. thank you for taking the time to read my criticism.
