So, is anyone else REALLY excited about this album? I've heard a couple of tracks from it, and they are WONDERFUL.
The title track features David Crosby and Graham Nash on harmony vocals, and is so very beautiful. I for one will be buying it tomorrow, how about the rest of you? Anyone else a big Gilmour fan?

Haven't heard any tracks, but I intend to get it.
I'm actually a Waters-fan...
But I heard some parts of the album that I found more interesting then I expected.
I intend to listen to it in full one of these days... Hope I can handle it... Normally I cannot bear to listen to his voice for more then 15 minutes without getting bored ;-)

I heard a couple of the new tracks on Sirius. This week they're playing all Floyd/Gilmour tracks on one of the channels.
It sounds great indeed. Gilmour is my favorite Floyd member, and I think the guy is indeed a genius.

It is good, if you go to David Gilmours site, he has one minute clips of all the songs there as well.
I've had the CD since Friday, the way I see it is that this is the closest to Pink Floyd as we will ever get.
It is far and away better than his first two solo records, and dare I say as good as, if not better, than the last two Floyd studio records.
The production is far and away superior, and while there is only one real rocker on the disc, it is one that gets better and better the more you listen to it.
I guess it is Pink Floyd for old people, what you would expect from a 60 year old dude.

True, especially considering that Richard Wright features on a couple tracks himself, and Bob Klose, an early PF guitarist, also guests on the album.
Btw. did any of you guys hear that Roger and Nick will be performing the Dark Side of the Moon album live in France this summer??
Wish I could go...

That is a most unfortunately true statement :(
The fact is, those guys were magical at Live 8, I wish they'd just freaking get along and make some more music together.

title track with words to the tour is just fab!
I'm one of the very few who actually enjoys 'Momentary Lapse Of Reason' and 'The Division Bell' as much as much as any other Floyd album before 'The Wall'.
Both albums are very underated.
Both albums are very underated.
They both have 2 or 3 good songs on them.
The Division Bell songs stand up well to a good listen now, the Momentary Lapse stuff sounds really, really dated. That said, that is not the fault of the material, but the shitty 80's production.

I don't think the albums were over-produced at all. Sure, there's a couple of weak tracks but for the most part I think they were superb.
I have to agree though that 'The Division Bell' is indeed a stronger album.

They weren't over produced, that is not at all what I am saying.
The 70's music of most good rock artists, the sound, the production stands the test of time.
Most 80's stuff does not stand up well to time in terms of sound. Take The Works, take Hysteria, take Momentary Lapse, take And Justice for All, the list goes on, the stuff all sounds dated. Simply terrible production.
The Division Bell was well produced, and is a far superior album, though I listened the hell out of Momentary Lapse on vynil back in the days of Junior High. Sounded great then, not so much now.
