Nice excerpt. Cautious optimism for me though.

^sounds like an alternate version of that such beautiful excerpt from High Hopes, interesting to check out the final result, but to be honest the original section of my fave from DB (HH) sounds much more "symphonic like" to me, I prefer pretty much that original one.

^ 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 Thumbs Up

Division Bell was alright, better than AMLOR, and High Hopes is a classic Pink Floyd song. I'm looking forward to the album, and trying not to place too high of expectations on it.

True. Probably better than latter Yes albums too honestly.

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.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Same. Haven't liked anything since "The Wall" (which isn't that amazing either IMO), so my hopes aren't too high on this one either. Looking forward to the Genesis documentary (and KC's reunion) much more.

Yes I am. I just hope it will be better than The Final Cut. It is probably the real last Pink Floyd.

I will buy it, but I'm not excited. I fear they are releasing it only to earn some extra money... I won't consider it a real Pink Floyd album.

The innumerable reissues and box sets were done for money. This one is done for profit.

Nope, they're doing it as a tribute to Richard Wright.

Maybe it is, and maybe it will be a very good album. I'll judge after having listened to it, but I'm not very optimistic about this particular album.
