What's your favorite track from Gilmour's new album? The lack of talking about this album on this forum is strange for me!Use this place to discuss the album too. |

| There's a few choice tracks on this album, hard to pick, maybe a tie between A Boat Lies Waiting or Beauty, though I really love the entire album. I'll vote for Beauty, though it may change the next time I spin the LP. |

I love all the three instrumentals on this album, but And Then... is one of those Gilmourish tracks that gives me goosebumps! |

I agree with you about "hard to pick" . I love Dave Gilmour and he is my hero. This is very Beautiful and emotional album. BUT I could not find anything new in this album because of Sadness. IMO he repeat himself , but with a lot of "Sorrow" and You can see this sadness and depression in all of album's tracks.
BTW This is a DAVID GILMOUR album. |

I actually haven't listened to all of it but. For a PF solo album it's pretty good. ------------- http://fryingpanmedia.com |

This album is no candidate for my top 10 of this year, but definitely better than I thought at first. Four tracks stand out for me: A Boat Lies Waiting, In Any Tongue, Beauty and Today. Today I vote for Today. -------------

| Question : I've noticed the inclusion of track timings to the RTL entry - why is it that the vinyl versions of the songs clock in anywhere between 10-30 seconds shorter than the CD versions (I got the stop-watch out, that's how much of a geek I am.....)?? Just a curious observation. |

Don't you think the first guitar notes in Faces Of Stone(starts at 00:53) is similar to the guitar intro of Camel's Straight to My Heart from Rajaz? |

Well.....I've only heard 2 tracks on you tube since most are not up there yet and I haven't bought the album yet. Based on only those I can't say I'm knocked out by the music. It's typical Gilmour, not particularly proggy, and probably not something I would play very often. It's recorded well and of course played well...but it just doesn't have that 'something' that makes me want to listen more than once. Maybe I'm just getting old....or Gilmour is.  ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

^Or both.  Yes Doc, it's formulaic Gilmour but I don't think he's going to change his stripes at age 69. I really can't relate being just a teenager myself.

Going with In Any Tongue......had a good listen on airline flights to and back from Cancun. at first I was like naaaaah, don't like it. Too much poppy, easy listening music.....but on the flights home I started to enjoy it more. For sure not a game changer, but a comfortable album by Gilmour. I would like it more if he came to Seattle on his tour  -------------

In Any Tongue for me... I really enjoy his solo on it, there a few licks on there that are epic. |

The ending guitar solo of Faces of Stone is on of his best since PF days.So heartwrenching. |

I'm enjoying the album but I need to listen to it a few more times before I can choose a clear favorite. Wish some of the songs were a little bit longer. They always seem to fade out while his guitar solos are still going. Just wait another 30 seconds or so before starting the fade out, or better still, let the band play a proper ending.

| Start of "Dancing Right In Front Of Me" is very similar to start of "A Million Miles Away (I Wish I Had A Time Machine)" od Edison's Children |

It's only "Dancing Right In Front Of Me" and "The Girl In The Yellow Dress" that don't work for me. I really love "In Any Tongue" and even "Today" surprised me. I love how the album starts off ambient-ish, goes more traditional as the album progress and then ends on more expansive tunes. It's a very close choice. If "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" is now being acknowledged officially as a Gilmour solo album, then "Rattle That Lock" is more satisfying than that album and his first two solo albums.

Agreed with everything you said... I find it even more satisfying than OAI especially because of ''In Any Tongue'' which is the best song he did since ''High Hopes'' imo. |

This album is full of great tunes for sure. I do prefer On An Island - esp. the Gdansk performance, but still, this new one is almost as superb. I'm surprised with the low-ish rating it's garnered so far, what do folks expect ?? I doubt that DG will be composing a 22 min. psych-Prog extravaganza anytime soon. I was listening to some of his 'Barn Jams' and I could quite easily enjoy an hours-worth of them. Hopefully they get to see the light of day as a 'professional product'. |

In Any Tongue is as good musically as anything David's ever done. It would probably be known as a classic had it been released 30+ years ago. I loved it initially and still love it for the music and structure. But after a few listens I can't get over how it suffers from Polly Samson's trite lyrics.

She is no Roger Waters but imo this particular song is her best lyrical effort, ever. Not saying it's amazing or anything but much better than ''We bitch and we fight'' you know... |

| Looks like interest in RTL has died in the ass. It's a nice enough album, I guess Gilmour could do better. I suppose he doesn't have to prove himself anymore. |

Outside the opening and closing instrumental tracks, the only real interest of this album is the great track is the other instrumental track (track 7) (the best thing he's written since High Hopes... and maybe since Confortably Numb)Not that it is a truly bad album (actually, it's better than the poor About Face and the yawner On An Island), but as soon as David sings, I am boooored all the way to total "ennui". |

I would say track #6 (In Any Tongue) is the best thing he wrote since High Hopes, I like #7 too tho... |

Yeah - Beauty is the finest thing on RTL. A Boat Lies Waiting is also very 'pretty'. There's nothing I dislike on the album, it's overall very good, but just 'lacking' in something. I am still impressed with On An Island. It is laid back (on the verge of being laid out) but the slow grooves, and ultra-mellow nature of most of it works for me. At least there's some extended solos on there. He does have a magic touch. |

I'm still very grateful for The Endless River. As 'bits-n-pieces' (or even 'leftovers') as it is, this is on-par with TDB, and my fave since Animals. Think I'll spin either this or RTL next (after GORGUTS )
