ReRushed Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Funny, everyone seems to love Animals and Dark Side.Why is it funny? They are probably, beginning to end, the two best Floyd albums. Edited March 29, 2017 by ReRushed 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Funny, everyone seems to love Animals and Dark Side.Why is it funny? They are probably, beginning to end, the best two Floyd albums. More like interesting I guess. I don't disagree; those are my favorite two Floyd albums (and the only really essential ones in my life). However, it's really interesting to see how opinions on even WYWH and The Wall are very much split in this community, though in general they receive as much, or more, praise as Animals and DSOTM by critics and fans alike. Maybe it's a Rush fan thing to be attracted to Animals and Dark Side, or maybe it's just a coincidence. I think it's neat/interesting/funny nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other that "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", I think Wish You Were Here is mediocre Floyd, plus overplayed. The Wall is brilliant in spurts, but overall its incoherent and threaded with half ideas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to be one of those critics as well (well, I may have gotten a bit more into The Wall recently), but what I find interesting is that such a trend of criticism for those two and such a trend of love for the other two even exist here, being a bit different from the general trends outside this forum.

Favorite post-Floyd album: Amused to Death - one of my all-time favorites. I'm very much looking forward to Roger's new disc (May 19!!) Pink Floyd concerts I've seen: Momentary Lapse of Reason (Syracuse, NY 1987), Division Bell (Tampa, FL 1993)I've also seen Roger Water on two different tours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wall Than I honestly don't care for those Early early albums or Momentary Lapse Mick Is The Wall's low ranking a "burned out" thing, or do you just not like the songs? the Wall is good but it's so filler loaded to me anyway. i really have to be in the mood for it. funny thing is.......it works WAY better live for me. i saw Roger's recent wall show. and wow does it really work better live. Mick I love The Wall. It works best as a single piece of work for me. To be honest, it was only after I saw the film in a theater, after getting high, that it really clicked for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Interestingly, for some reason I listened to The Delicate Sound of Thunder and Is There Anybody Out There? yesterday never seeing this thread. And A Momentary Lapse of Reason is my favorite album title of all time. A cool album title for sure, yet also appropriate for Gilmour's state of mind when he decided to write most of the music for it : wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same people that slag the Wall sing the praises of its music and ideas recycled as a single-album follow up. I can"t decide if it's simply more proggish contrarianism or an attention span issue.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I played dark Side earlier. still up there with one of the best sounding records ever made. songs kick ass too. Mick People were saying The Wall is something that they can put on anytime earlier. That's my experience with DSOTM. I don't have to be in the mood for it, I don't need it to sweep me away, I don't have any prerequisites for putting it on. It practically plays itself when I play it. It fits pretty much any mood I'm in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
