Never much of a PF fan (don't worry, not a hater) but I always liked this song for the incredible textures and sonic palette. As I recall, it came out at a time that rock had fallen into one of its periodic comas, so this was a welcome relief.

Huge step up from Matisyahu. This one definitely "flies" while the previous one is at the "bottom of the ocean."

The first Compact Disc I ever purchased. A good choice, too. Love the album's tune "On The Turning Away", gives me chills.
I understand how people who prefer the 'complete' Floyd wish that the whole band would have stayed together....but this is still damn good. A 9 for me.

One of the best from the Pink Gilmore days. Good lyrics and guitar, the hallmark of Floyd, but missing the conceptual weirdness that Waters brought to the table.

Soooo pretentious, so lets-create-art, so hollow and vitreous.
I am stunned each time I read positive reviews. People sometimes write
"mute" when they dislike songs. And possibly do not. When
I here Floyd (with the single exception of "See Emily play") I cannot
help it, but mute RP. There are only very few other bands or songs
when I do the same (Talking Heads with 80% of their songs, are another
example). Floyd? Sorry - they are really a no-go for somebody like me
who likes "real rock" of the authentic kind.

Pink Floyd doesn't count as "real rock"? You may have an argument that post Waters Floyd isn't as impressive but to discount one of the most influential ROCK Bands of any generation is ridiculous. Ironic you used "pretentious" in describing their work... coming from someone who is deciding what is and isn't "art".... |

Sad though it is, the pilot talk and ground traffic control exchange takes me back to when I was an aircraft spotter as a kid, standing in airport car parks with my CAM book and air band radio and wishing I were in that cockpit. Such innocent days, then the hormones starting flowing and that was that :(

Love the Floyd generally, but must admit they sound different when Waters left...Floyd Lite maybe? Haven't completely embraced post wall PF as much as their 70s stuff.

I do find the album version lacks the sparkle of the live recording on Pulse, but I can forgive that.

Soulless, perfunctory, corporate prattle. Other than that, it's okay, I guess. It's not annoying enough to make me change the station, and other people seem to like it. There are surely worse tunes out there.

This album always felt like the band's attempt to recapture a pre-Wall aura and I've always found it hard to support what feels like artistic regression. This would have been the perfect opportunity for these guys to step outside the "comfort zone" and avoid playing it safe. I suspect their might have been an attempt to make core constituents happy. Unfortunately that just wreaks of seLling out to me.

Roger needs to grow up. He was not the Alpha and Omega of that band.
No, he was not, but they did need him to be whole IMO.  |
