I'm Here Today, Expect It To Stay On - Ki's Journal of Music

My problem with it isn't that it's a bad album, cos it's not, though it has some very weak moments and most of it is just rewriting material from older albums. My main gripe with it is that it's their swan song, the last we'll hear of them and to me it's a middle finger to the fans, who deserved something better. Even if they said ok, Division Bell is it. No more from us. I could have lived with that. But to put out this weak, cheap collection of studio cutting floor out-takes and songs that weren't deemed good enough for TDB is really annoying me.

Plus, is it just me or does Gilmour look in every picture (recent) of him that I've seen like he's sneering at you?

It's weird, because I don't feel that way at all. Honestly, i'm pretty happy about the fact that most of this album is instrumental, makes it much more of a chill out album than anything. Maybe i'm just too easy to please, but I do see myself enjoying this album quite a bit more than I initially thought.
