So FP PF Thread, today I got my license to drive (finally!). I'm seven months older than I could've been to get it and have gotten a lot of shit for that.
Anyway Mom sends me on my first errand to buy some milk by myself.
I turn the car on, and:
[I]Boom boom Boom boom Boom boom...[/i] "Welcome my son.... welcome... to the machine!"
Ominous!
Fuck I love Roger. Imagine if he was your grandfather or uncle or something. That would be fucking awesome.
Roger looks like that cool relation who buys you shitloads of stuff and even in old age still fucks about like he's 20
I'm yet to find a single person who aged better than Rog....

I meant he went from looking like an Easter Island head to looking like Richard Gere, only better looking.
That kind of aging well :smile:
Got the DSOTM Immersion box set for my birthday. It's awesome.
The 1972 mix of DSOTM is so different.

I think it's the "Demo" version of the album rather than a different mixing of it. Still nice.
Loving the final cut right now.
[i]is it for this that daddy died?
was it for you? was it me?
did i watch too much t.v.?[/i]
[i]Should we shout? Should we scream?[/i]
It is a good album, lots of emotion, but it should have been a Roger Waters solo album and everyone knows it.
With the label of "Pink Floyd" it just makes it seem like a one horse pretentiously controlled band.
In fact, it is so [I]obviously[/I] a personal album, that makes me think Roger shouldn't have been so bitter to do it.
[i]what happened to the post war dream?
oh maggie maggie what have we done?[/i]
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome... Reagan and Haig!

Cough cough The Wall
Final Cut would have actually been a good solo album too.

I'm pretty sure that Roger was the only band member that [b]wasn't[/b] bitter about it. Gilmour was the one that hated every second of making the album.

What I meant was, Roger knew he had the oppurtunity to use the band as an "outlet" since he came up with The Wall.
It's cynical of him to do something like that, but at least he kicked himself out before someone could tell him "You're out of ideas, aren't you?"

Roger [b]was[/b] bitter about it. He said it was a slog because none of the other band members wanted a hand in the album and he hated making it. So did Gilmour.
Why didn't they start from scratch then? Surely, if it seems as if the album wasn't heading for a good "Band" album, then someone should have noticed and said "No, this clearly isn't a band effort".

Because the band was dysfunctional and none of them wanted to communicate with each other, Roger was set on making and composing another album regardless of the input of the other two members
I really don't think Roger cared if it was a band effort or not, neither the Final Cut or the Wall were good band albums, they were phenomenal Waters albums with Floyd influences
Thus proving that Momentary Lapse is the best album ever :downs:
[editline]23rd October 2011[/editline]
Really though those two are too comparable. An album fuelled by the primary vocalist both songwriting and vocal wise with little input from the other members are two albums all too comparable.
What puzzles me is how the better of the two consists of filler that didn't make it on The Wall, and the worse is completely fresh material written by Gilmour. They also have the complete opposite effect on me. Every time I listen to TFC, it reminds me of why I like it so much. However, every time even try to listen to MLOR, it reminds me of why I immediately skip over it on my iPod when randomly choosing a Floyd album to listen to.
Momentary Lapse of Reason is actually a decent pop album though.
