Is anyone excited about the new Pink Floyd album?

I'll give it at least a spin! I am nervous about it but will listen with open ears

I am. I've been thinking about it and any Division Bell sessions unheard by my ears makes me very interested.
I absolutely love Pink Floyd and the fact that they are gonna dedicate this album to Richard Wright makes it even more momentous and epic.

It's just too bad that waters and Gilmour still can't join forces. The hate is strong between those two.

Not even a little bit

This is the first time that I read about it! And:

Ditto!

Is anyone excited about this topic?

If the River maintains the level of competence of the AMLOR and Division Bell, I'll definitely buy it. I just hope it's no longer than 45 minutes (had the Bell not dragged on for 67 minutes, it would have been a lot  easier album to absorb and enjoy in one sitting).  

The lyrics is probably going to be a problem nonetheless. Anyone would find it very hard to step into Waters' shoes, even the best lyricists out there, much less a Polly Samson. I therefore hope they'll stick to instrumentals as much as possible to avoid degrading the overall experience with trite poetic imagery and stumbling flow of rhyme and rhythm.

I'm curious as all-hell. I'm sure it will be something special.
.........and I do hope it will be a winner, and all the nay-sayers can eat their words. I can't, for the life of me, believe that Gilmour and Co. would release inferior product. If it ends up resembling the instrumental work of On An Island, I'll be in Heaven.

You can even take some of the moments from his solo albums, and you know that he left behind 100's of those moments that might be used, and might never be used!   I appreciate Dave putting these out and such, but in the end, I much more miss the "space" that Rick added to the PF music that is not always appreciated because all we can think is of a rock song!

Most likely there won't be any concerts after this, even less likely a tour. I believe the most we can hope for is Gilmour solo shows... and I don't think he would go out of Europe.
