Thoughts?
I'll refrain my opinion until later....
It's weird and bad
shareIt's a slog. And worst of all, he replaced the Sax & Guitar solo section with that rambling spoken-word nonsense.
This does not bode well for the rest of the album. What is he going to do to "The Great Gig In The Sky"? That was solely written by the late Richard Wright (& years later, rightfully co-credited [including retroactive back royalties!!] to guest vocalist Clare Tory for her powerful improvised wordless vocal)
Yes, the new Money is bad but I did see one review where they said this might be an outlier song. Something along the lines that this was added to the original album at the last minute for radio play.
I don't know if this is true but I hope at least 2 or 3 of the new DSOTM songs are good..but right now it ain't lookin' good!
He just released the new version of "Time" to his YT channel. It's actually a little better, but not by much. Still doesn't bode well.
I wonder if he's going to release the whole album, or just keep releasing 1 song at a time.
Yes, I listened to it already..it just seems to me he's copying Taylor Swift, who re-recorded her songs to make more profit since her record label ripped her off.
He's supposed to release the whole album in Oct but who in the heck is going to buy this crap?
I'm really curious as to how he's going to treat "The Great Gig In the Sky". As just about everybody knows by now, that was written entirely by Rick Wright, & years later rightfully co-credited to Clare Tory.
shareIt really doesn't look like he's putting much effort into this, so I've basically given up the hope that any of the songs will be good.
The last I really liked by Waters was the entire Radio K.A.O.S. album(1987). But I like Roger better than Gilmour, David is a great guitarist but he's never said one thing that interests me, except for maybe an anecdote or two about Syd Barrett.
Roger Waters is many things and he has a I don't give a fuck attitude. But he's never been boring.
Both Dave & Roger seem to be lesser artists as solo acts than they were together.
I listened to KAOS a lot when it came out but haven't listened to it in years, & haven't really listened to Amused...., nor Is This the Life... at all. Gilmour, I wasn't very impressed with On An Island, & haven't checked out the one after it.
