fk me; what fine company to be in (OK, Bowie and Winehouse excepted)

[Cotty]

Someone suggest the chart is probably like that because of the older generation buying the CD where as kids will just download it once released.

Woohoo, I'm a kid again (at 58)!

And starting to get some good, and very thoughtful, reviews too

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/nov/06/pink-...

I like this bit best..."The Endless River offers long-time fans a chance to wallow in a lot of very, very Gilmouresque soloing, heavy on the yearning string-bends and his patented emotional shift from introspective melancholy to soaring euphoria"

[g3org3y]

Bugger it, just pre-ordered it too!

[RichB]

Live at Pompeii now Sky Arts1

[Gaspode]

My Amazon pre-order is now showing delivery on Monday.

[pavka007]

I am enjoying it all afternoon I don't care what some of the reviewers are saying, for me is just great
Sadly looks like it will be the last ever Floyd album....

[speedtwelve]

Just finished listening to it. It falls short of epic, but is still a fitting finale to Pink Floyd. I was doing air guitar to Gilmour's solo on Louder than Words. Well done, boys.

[RichB]

Is there any comparison to Dave Gilmour's "On an Island" album from a few years ago?

[speedtwelve]

Better than On an Island, which I found pretty lightweight all round. Endless River is still quite ambient in places, although Gilmour's guitar is never far away. It isn't 50 mins of 'Run Like Hell' though.

A perfect summary.
