Hearing it for my first time right now. I have to say, the title track is one of my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs. I skipped immediately to it. Now i am about ot hear hte others. But if the title track is any indication, this could be by far my favorite Pink Floyd album I've ever heard!

That is truly a great album. I can't really think of a Pink Floyd album I actually disliked until "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" which is when a lot of members changed. _________________ Meow.

I'm not really digging "The Final Cut" so much either though. But the others before that so far are great. Waiting on hearing "Meddle" and the other older ones. Can't wait! Very interesting band!
Wow. You're just now discovering Pink Floyd? That always amazes me but I don't know why. Some really great stuff to say the least. I became obsessed with the lyrics of some of their stuff for a short while about 8 years ago. Every time I did acid or mushrooms I KNEW that some of the songs were meant to imply that God was talking to his creation. Anyways, that's neither here nor there, but even people who never thought that can usually see it. I still think that the best version of Comfortably Numb is the one they used in The Departed. Van Morrison with Roger Waters just MADE that song better than the original to me. _________________ The Democratic Anthem: The American Dream is okay! Until you make $250,000. Then you're the devil.
I can always count on message boards to consistently shatter my faith in humanity.
Check out Fred Durst's version of "Wish You Were Here" someday. I've heard the PF version 80,000 times and it's nice to hear Pink Floyd covers. _________________
Here's that version of Comfortably Numb I was referring to. I don't know why, maybe due to the way Scorsese used it in The Departed, it just sounds better than the original to me.
