Is anyone excited about the new Pink Floyd album?

I am excited about it. When I read it some weeks ago it really made my day... actually, I couldn't believe it and had to re-read it and read it again in other posts or sources to be convinced, for I thought it was just sensationalist news. But it was true all right. I have really liked what they have done with Gilmour at the front, and since this one seems bound to have a greater input from Wright since a long time (since ever, perhaps), I guess that is bound to be good too.

Yes.

^ I like, doesn't at all feel like the weird pop thing they were doing at times on Division Bell... Of course, it is only a minute and fifteen seconds, but still, promising, nice find 

Nice excerpt. Cautious optimism for me though.

Actually, Rick is part of the band here. The album is meant to be some sort of homage to him, and uses recordings that haven't been used before. Actually, this album might as well have more writing credits from him than most other Floyd albums... we'll just have to wait and see.

Sounds just fine to me.

I am decidedly unexcited.  I realize that they're dubbing this as a tribute to Richard Wright, but there is a huge part of me that is thinking 'If Richard Wright wanted this to have been released why didn't they release it when he was still alive'.  It's almost like Mr. Wright resisted the release of the material but when he no longer had any input, it was put together.

^ sounds a bit like a 4am Ibiza chillout outtake, do like the bass though
