Roger's album is up on spotify now. Can't argue with Shaney's assessment. It's all the things he said. Real echoes of Amused to Death in places. Less rambly though. So far.

 

[rettucs]

I'm still on the fence with this one. There's a real bang of Amused to Death and Animals off the new album. I love both of those but I can't decide if he's gone a bit OTT in the hat-tipping and it's just self-plagarism.

Bird in a Gale could be lifted straight off Animals.

I shall try and remain open-minded. I'm kind of determined to like it.

Wait for Her is like a hodge-podge of songs from The Final Cut.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

He swears a bit too much and there's a couple of songs I don't really like but overall I'm really liking it a lot. I don't know what to think about the plagiarism, I'm starting to think that it's just his songwriting style and he's repeating himself now than anything else. My favorite bits of plagiarism are the the final cut ones.

When I first got the album and looked at the track listing I assumed that there were two more songs to follow this one and I'm still disappointed every time this one ends and the next two are basically Wait For Her parts II and III but not as good as part I.

This looks interesting
IN THE PINK (not a hunting memoir)

I just picked up a copy of Nick Mason's book the other week. Haven't read it yet but I didn't even know he had a book til I saw it in the bookshop.

Roger Waters was on BBC6 music yesterday morning. There'll be no reunion, says Roger.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I read Nick Mason's book, I think I enjoyed it

I saw a car with that as a bumper sticker. Talk about nailing your colours to the mast.

 

[rettucs]

Not going to read back, just drawing attention to the fact that this is in the pink floyd thread

 

[rettucs]

That'll be shite

agreed. I think I have no interest in ever seeing/hearing it

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

He's still trotting out songs from A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell ffs

THE CREATIVE GENIUS OF PINK FLOYD

LAUNCHING NEW GROUNDBREAKING TOUR



Featuring classic Pink Floyd, some new songs and solo work,

the tour is set for Europe in 2018



# # # # #



Roger Waters will return to Europe in 2018 with a pioneering new tour, Us + Them, featuring classic Pink Floyd, some new songs and solo work. The European Tour will include a date at Dublin’s 3Arena on 26 June. Tickets go on sale Thursday 12 October at 9am from all usual outlets.



Roger Waters – Us + Them will showcase highlights from Waters’ groundbreaking body of work, with songs from Pink Floyd’s greatest albums (Wish You Were Here, The Wall, Animals, Dark Side of The Moon), along with songs from his critically acclaimed new album “Is This the Life We Really Want?,”.



The tour title is derived from the 1974 track “Us And Them,” from the multi-million selling Pink Floyd album The Dark Side of the Moon.



“We are going to take a new show on the road,” said Roger Waters. “It’ll be a mixture of stuff from my long career, stuff from my years with Pink Floyd, some new things. Probably 80% of it will be old material and 20% will be new, but it will be all connected by a general theme. It will be a cool show, I promise you. It’ll be spectacular like all my shows have been.”



Roger Waters’ legendary live performances are renowned as immersive sensory experiences featuring high class, state-of-the-art audio visual production and breathtaking quad sound. This new tour promises to be no exception, following months of meticulous planning and visionary craft, it will inspire crowds with its powerful delivery to take the audience on a musical journey.



Roger Waters – Us + Them marks the artist's first European tour since The Wall Live (2010-2013), his sold-out world tour which was seen by more than 4 million fans globally at 219 shows and remains the highest grossing tour by any solo artist in history.
