The worst selling since Meddle, and yet...perhaps the most emotion out of their entire discography. My thoughts at least. Makes you wonder though...

Nice review of "Wish you were here".

I agree that Final Cut is great. I think one reason it is not universally loved as it represents Waters vision almost exclusively. Floyd fans blame this on the bands break up.

Its true...it should be called "Roger Waters, the Final Cut guest starring Pink Floyd" (doesn't the back say "By Roger Waters, Performed By Pink Floyd"?)

This is the point where I kind of don't like Roger...telling Mason he sucked at drumming...listen to In The Flesh and you know right away he doesn't suck. So he's no John Bonham, nobody is...geez Roger.

It's evident from any interviews you might see, and from the history itself, that neither Roger nor the rest were, to say the least, the sharpest tools in the box.

I don't see that at all. I think they are all pretty smart guys, especially Roger. Most of them were architecture students at uni before they formed the band. Roger is pretty astute when it come to politics. I have always thought of the guys from Pink Floyd as having an above average intelligence, especially when compared to other people in Rock Bands.

Well I've always liked Animals, but I've also always preferred Meddle and WYWH. But in the past 2 months or so, I've been listening to Animals non-stop and it's now my favourite Floyd album... probably one of my favourite ever in fact. The music fits the theme/lyrics unbelievably well (especially Gilmour's talkbox solo in Pigs) and I love the concept.

Compared to who, Nickelback? Loz. Any high mental acumen they once possessed was withered away entirely through many years of substance abuse and insane egotism. It is evident from the nature of the breakup and how they couldn't communicate. That always represents a bunch of braindead dunses. Walters is one of the most egotistical twits I've ever heard speak.

Compared to other bands who are of their vintage, the who, rolling stones, I would put waters intelligence level up there to someone like John Lennon.

Sorry but you need to get your facts straight. The only member who ever had a substance abuse problem was Syd and he left the band very early in the piece. There are a lot of bands who break up on bad terms, it does not make them dumb. Having a big ego also does not make you unintelligent.

Another good review BTW. Dogs is in my top 5 floyd songs (could be in the top 3) and Animals is my favourite floyd album on every second day. Bring on the Wall review.

Sorry about the double post but I can't edit in here for some silly reason.
