albert Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 The sessions were recorded with Wright, during the Division Bell years. They are hailing this as his swan song. Hell yes! I realize you're being on the nose, but to many of us, that is the departure point. Floyd is my all my time favorite anything. The albums they made post-Waters although technically called Floyd, just didn't hit the mark (IMO). There was also a major shift in the bands direction post Syd Barret. Gilmour himself has commented on how different his guitar style is from Syd. Pink Floyd is really diverse in that sense. tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeMoreGlass Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I am just stoked we are getting another Pink Floyd album Just to toss in my two cents...I think the best parts of Floyd are Wright and Gilmour...Waters had some cool concepts lyrically but it was Gilmour and Wright that brought them to life For instance...imagine shine on you crazy diamond without those four notes on the intro ( you know what I'm talking about) Imagine The Wall without Comfortably Numb... Imagine Dark Side Of The Moon without On The Run...or The Great Gig In The Sky... You guys give Roger Waters waaay too much credit...I mean look at The Final Cut...probably my least favorite of the Floyd albums because it was a Waters vanity project...with the exception of When the Tigers Broke Free...but I count that as being a part of The Wall since it was in the movie...and should have been on the album Juturna90, Sandmankev and weinerdog 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite albums from them were the division bell and momentary lapse of reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtcb Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 My local shop got their vinyl in stock yesterday. They usually let me have new releases as soon as they arrive, but the owner said he just didn't feel comfortable with this one. I'll be there on Monday morning to grab it though.

birdwell Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Listened to the cd version yesterday at work.....damn near put me to sleep (not exactly a warehouse jam)....dude I work with is a huge Pink Floyd fan, said he enjoyed it but wasn't thrilled with it. There's a really really awful and cheesy sax part in one song that is absolutely atrocious, having Stephen Hawking in the one track is kind of rad.....having vocals for the last track is easier to digest....but to me it gave the entire album a weird vibe, almost like the entire album was building towards this one track, and I doubt that's what their intention was when they decided to finally use this stuff. I think Pink Floyd fenatics will get plenty out of it, but I'd be shocked if anybody ever called this "essential" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone confirm/heard this from distributors? Also interested. The shops near me keep saying they would get the records in sometime this week, and I called this morning... Yeah, they both got them and sold out of them too. So I may end up holding off if a colored variant is in the works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markaj311 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I'm the biggest Floyd fan I know and personally I cannot stop listening to The Endless River. This to me is an amazing send off to Pink Floyd and especially Rick Wright. The album really to me just kind of wraps up that the band IS and always was Pink Floyd with and without Roger Waters. I don't want to get into a debate because I'm the rare type that also LOVES Roger's solo albums. But I give Dave, Rick and Nick credit for going on and doing their thing making music they love for us to enjoy. Best track I feel so far is "It's What We Do." It has the synth sound from Wright that makes you go whoa am I listening to Wish You Were Here?? Then David's 1994 Division Bell tone comes in...man is it cool. Highly recommend this album to anyone who can just sit back and enjoy it for what it is. patreeeek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elroy Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I found it to be quite the snoozefest after several listens. I do love Pink Floyd. It felt like every song was building into something, but ultimately went nowhere. An album full of interludes essentially. It would have been cool if they expanded on half the ideas and allowed it to be a bit more cohesive. I'm not going to call it a cash grab because I know they did it for the love of music and to commemorate Wright. I just wish they had gone out with something stronger instead of music I will most likely hear in a new-age giftshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patreeeek Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Well.... this may be a hard deal to pass up. Too bad I purchased it somewhere else already. $24.99 on Groupon: http://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-pink-floyd-the-endless-river-lp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I was asking if anyone knew a distributor they could verify it with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I couldn't even get it that cheap through a distributor and a record store I went to didn't even have it. If you use the code "SALE" you can an additional 10% off as well.

robotfactory Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Grabbed a copy from the Groupon deal. Under $25 shipped (with tax) is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valve Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yeah what the heck I jumped on the Groupon as well, $22.50 was too good deal. Plus it's a known good pressing from an awesome pressing plant. I don't want to risk the colored vinyl being pressed at some place like Rainblo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrrom92 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I was actually kinda bummed about placing the groupon order, since, well. I really love supporting my local indie whenever I can. And there was something kinda romantic about being able to walk into a store and buy a new Pink Floyd album, something that I've never been able to do in my lifetime.

valve Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I guess you get what you pay for applies here. Ordered on the 12th and still no shipping email Listening to Spotify and getting interrupted by ads has gotten old. On the plus side it is starting to become one of my favorite albums of the year. When it's finished I get the urge to play it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
