The Endless River (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Already curious. Because I get the CD on the release date and even before unpacking I discover here more than 100 reviews. Especially often (to say the least) can most have not heard before they have fast times rausgerotzt a slating. But it has always been that you should give time for a new Pink Floyd record. Had I "Animals" evaluated at that time after the first impression, they would (along with "Wish You Were Here") became not my very favorite Floyd disc. I myself gave her to mature for four days and times here describe my experience here:
Day 1: I treat myself to enter in peace and utter concentration. But the first impression is first sobering. Many self-citations, a collection of intros. Everything is not bad, but the music is similar to the cover first. Very pretty, but kind of boring. Ever the cover: By far not as "hideous" in my opinion, but just already a little bit cheesy and bold. Would quite nice as a postcard when you "I'm off" Print it would .... The final title of "Louder Than Words" very nice, but not a high flyer ala "High Hopes"
Day 2: The second passage is even better. First motifs stuck as the "half-cover" of "Run Like Hell", which I already like better than the original and which is interrupted by an interlude of Rick Wright anno 1968 a church organ. Here for the first time I get teary-eyed. This is repeated in the final guitar solo CD and hope is springing up that I even reached the part in its entirety.
Day 3: The first passage is done by the way and I can assure all the housewives and men: "Does not ironing" ..... After the many individual "title" anyway can not remember, I try the second, time private listening with reference to the four "sides" to identify a structure and hear them as four longer Pink Floyd pieces. And voila: it funtioniert. Now I'm in the endless river and can enjoy the music in its completeness. Rick Wright and David Gilmour were really brothers in spirit. As both produce with basically simple tones and chords goosebumps, which has always been and is again very great art.
Day 4: My initial skepticism has turned into great enthusiasm. What a beautiful, stivolles and touching album "the endless river". I like every Floyd album in his own way, but I'll listen to this disc certainly more often than about "a momentary lapse of reason" or "The Final Cut". The latter puts me in mind of Roger Waters, the obviously so many miss here again. With all due respect, indeed even reverence for the Floyd genius of bygone days - the last thing "the endless river" would have taken, any political statements or hingenölten past Bewältigungen would have been. This is an instrumental album (apart from the final title), which was previously clear and as such it has become an immensely touching and gratifying unpretentious farewell album for Rick Wright. Who endures not even 50 minutes of singing, can probably not do anything in 100 years hence. I learned it in four days love .....
