2 stars Continuing the style of A momentary Lapse of Reason with a second rip off of mid 70's Floyd, was not what we were waiting for. At least I wasn't, I was all into grunge back then :-).

There are two acceptable songs here (What Do You Want and Keep Talking) and one excellent song which is of course High Hopes. The rest of the album is simply painful to hear. When it came out, I hoped Floyd never would make an album again. Of course that wish leaves a bitter taste now after the passing of Richard, but what I meant was that I wanted to keep the reputation of Floyd intact and wished it wouldn't go down the drain like that of Genesis, Yes, ELP,...

This album was a narrow escape. But it ends on such a high note that we can forgive them. The closing track is so strong that it saves the complete album from oblivion. It's the track that should truly end the recording history of the greatest and most influential rock band ever. Amen.

Bonnek | 2/5 |
