[@andrewhaines8603]

It may be, but it's not great. Could have been so much better by changing the track listing and using more of the fabulous organ playing that Rick did.

[@tskmaster3837]

Hell, that's even worse than a cash grab. "Hey, remember those bits of rubbish that didn't made the cut for the Division Bell's pointless instrumentals? Let's honor Rick with that." Nick: "Well, we could just play the songs Rick wanted Floyd to play live again." Dave "Comfortably Numb" Gilmour glares, silencing yet another Floyd upstart. Years later, Nick "Hey, I can do it myself."

[@edonmed3871]

The fact that The Wall loops is so trippy, it could be saying that Pink falls back into his isolation and addiction or it represents other people building their own walls, it’s a really dark album and that’s why it’s amazing. To top it off, the transition from “Outside the Wall” to “In the Flesh” is genius because; 1. There’s a hidden piece of Roger talking and 2. At the start of “In the Flesh”, whatever the instrument is it becomes super quiet, tricking first time listeners to turn it up and then their eardrums are destroyed by the guitar. It’s amazing.

[@doesitmatter1667]

One of the instruments in the beginning of In The Flesh? is a clarinet, though there’s another that I believe is some sort of free-reed instrument like an accordion or melodica

I was 15 when The Wall was released, living in a boys’ home with other rejects. We were huge fans of DSOTM, WYWH and Animals. None of those albums prepared is for The Wall. We were spellbound. Each and every one of us felt the record in a very personal way. We had each built our walls and we understood all of it on an emotional level. At the same time, it was so liberating. A battle cry. One of my favorite memories is of the night a friend and I got caught driving in a snow storm and had to go really slow. We turned the radio off and sang The Wall from start to finish, improvising the instrumental parts by making weird noises. We knew every guitar solo. The thing is in our DNA. And it has aged well! Thank you for this list.

[@johnjackson3735]

Overall I like Dark Side of the Moon, Meddle, Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Wish You Were Here the best in that order, and think there is a lot of great music on these albums and it has the best balance between the interweaving key boards, drum rolls and guitar with a surprising use of bluesy, jazz and even some funky elements with fairy tale psychedelic folk and penetrating philosophic treatise feel especially in Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were and Meddle. During these releases, the lyrics and feel of the music had more of a balance between light and dark moods and the lyrics were more original, poetic and representative of the ebb and flow of life with the heart beats, and the duality between eliciting a sense of meditative runner's high contrasted with a sense of escaping from great travails or merely running to catch up with moments that can never be retrieved as in the stunning TIme, which is why I think Dark Side of the Moon is overall their best album in seamless integration of innovation and peerless production of sound. I also enjoy Remember a Day,, See Emily Play, See Saw, Julia Dream, Paint Box and Summer 68 which I think would have been great as an extended more prog like piece since it has a mysterious and dour flower power feel with elements of love lost mixing psychedelia with the dramatic realism of the horns. It is an invocation of a frozen moment long ago in the perpetual sea of passing time with cool trippy harmonies. After Wish You Were Here, they began to descend into more morose music making with the Wall and Animals as well. I will admit it is powerfully pessimistic; since I lot of music is impressive but the downer feel makes it less appealing to me and it doesn't seem as innovative. From the Wall, I still think Comfortably Numb and Young Lust are fantastic songs that don't dig too deep a ditch of depression in my mind.

I'm a big fan of the Endless River honestly. I'm a sucker for instrumentals, but it is a sequel to the Division Bell, and takes a lot from it. I prefer Talkin Hawkin over Why Won't You Talk To Me though. The Gilmour stuff has a different feel to it than the Waters stuff, which doesn't work for a lot of people. Personally though, I think the Barrett era was the strongest overall. It's just pure psychedelia, and I love it. I still think Dark Side is best though. Probably.
