The Endless River (Audio CD)

Customer Review

I know it does not need 10,000th review of the endless river. I have the album - of course - bought. I grew up with Pink Floyd, what influenced my taste in music more than anything else, what was then rotated on the turntables. Each album the band released in the '70s, I felt as comfortable as a home one, because I knew every note and nuance by heart, and I have loved every note and also every nuance.

Then came the endless river.

And I wanted to mention it.

And then published an Englishman named Steven Wilson his fourth album "Hand.Cannot.Erase", and now, yes, now I need but a valve. For that album, I had to ask myself again and again, whether PINK FLOYD would sound like today if they had "survived" by THE WALL. And that brings me back to the endless river. And I'm almost angry, because - of course - breathes from every pore PINK FLOYD, and because I am indeed grateful for any sound that reminded me the other hand this loveless Remix typical Pink Floyd props me of the exploits of my longtime favorite band now spoils the pleasure in hearing the originals of that time, and that annoys me.

I find it disingenuous of Mr. Gilmour (Dave, you were once my guitar god!), To refer to these fluffy leftovers as a concept, and also cast doubt I find the assertion that the highly valued, unfortunately deceased Rick Wright thereby wishing to pay tribute. I did it in 1987 and 1994 not to admit (as PINK FLOYD be sold to VW): the prog rock legend had long been only a huge money-making machine. Even now I'm sitting in front of the album and I try anything good, nice, new from the endless river herauszuwringen, it's got to be there, it was there before - and then a Steven Wilson comes with a music (same style) and it attracts a (despite initial reservations) so feet away and you realize how music really works - and as PINK FLOYD should work (and do not do it and never do are).

I do not think it's just a matter of taste; The endless river is outstanding and produced crap (sorry): a musical Verarsche. And the most appropriate response would be to ignore the album kompett, but that's me as a passionate fan, unfortunately, not possible.
