A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON

After The Final Cut, the first solo album of Roger Waters for many people, everyone thought it was the end of Pink Floyd. And for some time it was. Waters and Wright gone, Gilmour solo. But then, after half a decade, the Floyd were back! A totally new sound, no more sad and overweight subject of Waters dark thoughts. Of course there was more room for guitarist Gilmour, who was the obvious leader. If you're used to the old Floyd, don't throw this record straight out of the window. Listen ot it a few times, and you'll probably like it. The album is generally good, but a few songs are even better. On the turning away hits exactly the right note, and you'll wish sorrow would never stop. Learning to fly is a bit to much of it really, but still good. Some people say the album is too much a collection of songs, but i disagree. It's nothing like a story as Dark Side or The Wall, but those had the minus point that they had too much weight. Lapse is much easier to listen at, and that is an exeption in Pink Floyd (exept the early stuff). Buy it, and listen to it ones a week, doctors orders!
