I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Opinion: It's not that I dislike The Final Cut, but Febus, man, it's way to depressive. I like some songs as The Wall but not, IMO, a listenable album for any moment..

What's your fave track from it?
 
Hola Pablo
Yes FINAL CUT is very dark, but some songs are beautiful: GUNNERS DREAM,MEMORIAL FLETCHER, the Title track and a few others;  we just have to be in the right mood for this albumCry
 
Depressing can be beautiful, even uplifting, you knowWink
 
I even open last week an appreciation thread for the FINAL CUT!!!.........Not too many feedbacks so farLOL

Solo album by Gustavo Montesano, the singer/bassist of Argentine prog band Crucis. Yeah, its not as great as Crucis' two albums, but it has its own merits. The atmospheric instrumentals are nice, and it does boast two really complex progressive tracks. The ballad-ish tracks do suck, though... Montesano isn't exactly a great singer. All in all, a neglected album that Crucis fans tend to dismiss.

Crap, that didn't work so well. It was supposed to be In The City Of Angels by Jon Anderson.

Jon%20AndersonIn%20the%20City%20of%20Angels%20%20album%20coverI really like this album alot. It may not be really a progressive offering by Jon Anderson but it's got some really nice songs on it. It's upbeat and a bit poppy but it's a fun album.

...might as well answer the question while I'm here.  I actually like a good bit of Genesis' 80s stuff.  Maybe not entire albums, but the self-titled and Abacab have quality material on them, and also the debut album "From Genesis to Revelation".  The only other one's I can think of aren't dismissed, but just plain obscure.

Have in mind I do like pop, new wave, alt rock in a certain degree. Inxs, Audioslave, Simply Red, Pearl Jam, Coldplay. Don't love them but really enjoy playing one of them.

My turn:


Don't get what's the problem with this album...Well I do, but can't people even like it. It's a hell of a fun album, very relaxing. It's not superb prog like Floyd standards, but not a 2 star and much less a 1 IMHO. Not essential for a Prog Collection, but yes for a Floyd fan surely.
 
 
Obscured By Clouds is a great Pink Floyd album. Highly underated. Childhood's End is one of my favorite Gilmour songs done by Floyd.

For Floyd's no, it's not hated, but neither apreciated. A good example would be Final Cut already mentioned, Obscured by Clouds mentioned by me and A Momentary Lapse of Reason, wich I categorise it Neo Prog just cause the sound of the drums
