I Agree, Dark Side of the Moon Is Ruined... (Redux Review)

[@mustyguitar]

EDIT: The Good The Bad and The Ugly is not a referance you guys, it just popped in my head. And turns out it wasn't vocals that made that sound, it was an instrument called theremin, which sounds quite nice, right?

[@goldenhippie6352]

It's amusing seeing all you wannabe musicians criticize Roger Waters redux. It's even more amusing hearing your fools claim it sucks or the album is ruined.. I find it amusing because his fellow band members from Floyd have called it genius.. which it is, because they understand what it is about. See the fact of the matter is you're a worthless wannabe musician, and secondly you're also a supporter of political BS, which renders you highly uneducated and incapable of understand anything more intelligent than a South Park episode.

[@speleman62]

There's no theremin in Morricone's score. The main musical motif is restated at several points throughout 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' with different instruments taking the melody. Flute, ocarina, yodeling, whistling (by Alessandro Alessandroni) and, yes, sung, wordless vocals, including those done by a choir.

[@robertforman3494]

He wanted to take Pink Floyd out of the album. He even took himself out in a way. He plays bass on only one track. This album is “Dark Side” as a poetry reading with incidental music as a backing track. Waters completely eliminated everything but the words. Even the concept, which was his, that included the background voices, clock, and cash register sounds. All that’s left is Roger reading his words, but he’s shorter of breath and closer to death.

[@bryanlea8115]

Dark Side of the Moon isn't ruined. The original album and recording is still out there for us to enjoy. Dark Side of the Moon Redux is a different beast, and probably ego-driven. It's okay (or not, depending upon your own taste), but it doesn't ruin the original. I think the original 1973 version is in a different league, but whatever the pros and cons of re-recording the album, to do so in a way that makes it sound as close to the original is even more pointless. Redux is a reasonable listed late in front of the fire on a cold night with a glass of whisky and a big cigar.

Its funny because, i only had listened to money when it came out on spotify thought it was good (gives a peaky blinders vibe😂) Then i got given tickets for my 22 for the london palladium , amazing show super super lucky to go . The only gripe i had was he talked so much, that a lot of people had to leave to get trains as he already was late so people missed out on a few songs. The lady using the theremin was amazing, and the lighting was sick. gave me the chills. Definitely not a replacement of the original but refreshing and different flavour. He also performed mother too😱and he put alot more power into his vocals during mother Oaks ma recorded it wish he put that much effort into the redux vocally but amazing show overall

[@toby8261]

i actyally love this album- the themes of TDSOTM are much more present in Redux, and Roger being an old man changes the relationship between the listener and the lyrics. Don't view this as trying to be like the original - view it as a reflection on a life lived. The original album is all about the woes of living and is almost a lashing out against it, whereas this one reads as more meditative and at peace with the trials and tribulations of life. Using the lyrics of Free Four in a new way was absolutely genius - when roger says "you are the angel of death. And i am the dead mans son" it hits a million times harder than the original free four ever did. Anyway, just my two cents! I love his take on the album, but i get that its not for everyone. Much less musically driven, now the music is simply a vehicle and the poetry of the album is brought to the forefront. Peace!

[@mustyguitar]

thanks for the input Toby. I wasn't comparing with the original recording of course, but you gave me another perspective. I still stand by what I say, you know, roger is my hero, he's a genius and everything, but this album has some low points and high points.

[@toby8261]

@@guitarworks2546 I'm a musician too, but appreciate Rogers writing as an integral part of what made Floyd sound like Floyd. This is not a pink floyd album, it's a roger waters album, and if you want to listen to pink floyd you can listen to the original! I think he did redux very tastefully, and as I said earlier, allowed the poetry in TDSOTM to really breathe. this album is not about the music. Floyd post waters is a good example of style without substance, and you could argue the opposite with Waters post floyd. nevertheless, different strokes for different folks. I play keys and guitar in the style of Wright and Gilmour but I could never write like roger does so I really appreciate his talents in that area.

Roger, aa far as l can tell, did this purely out of spite. The Mt. Everest of ego's. Ironic really considering what he's written in his life that he mirrors some of the very qualities of humanity he held disdain for. I don't think Dave would or even should be affected. I think after the break-up after "The Final Cut" that Dave had no interest in giving his own power away again. Roger seems to me, someone who sucks up the energy for himself and wouldn't like reading this comment. I don't like making this comment as l to like Roger, but he's an 80 year old child right now and enough is enough. 40 year feud. I really didn't expect this idiocy to last this long.

[@fredzep01]

I thought it was perfect, it wasn't Waters trying to top DSOTM, because lighting can't strike twice. He did it in such a wonderful way, that only a genius like waters could have pulled it off, the striped down parts with the added orchestral strings are gorgeous. We already have a masterpiece in the original, so this, for me, is a welcome addition. As far as I'm concerned, I see it as a nice chilled work of art, and it's all the better for it.

I saw Roger Waters years ago when he and his band did the The Wall, with a wall being built, and ultimately torn down, fighter plane crashing into the wall, etc. It was fantastic musically and theatrically. Based on that I’d love to see him do a DSOTM tour (original version). I wouldn’t go see this version for free. I get what he’s doing with a new interpretation, and it doesn’t rid the world of the original, so I’m fine with it. I just won’t be listening to it.

Dark Side of the Moon was released in 1973. It was on the charts from 1973 to July 1988, as it should have been. A new version of DSOTM can not possibly ruin the old version. How could it? If you don't like Redux, don't listen to it. You can always listen to the original DSOTM. Tell me, did Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower" ruin the original by Dylan? No. This is all much ado about nothing.

[@kjek1]

Hendrix’s cover is great though. This is shit. People know they can listen to the original; they don’t need fanboy cunts like you to tell them that

[@mustyguitar]

well Martha, thank you for the comment, but after Hendrix' version of "All Along The Watchtower", story goes that Dylan listened to it and said: "this song is your now" (i'm not sure if that's true but something like this happened). I admit just like I did in the video, I like some of the songs. It's good. But overall it's bad and it's not even an original cover. There's no difference between breathe and eclipse in REDUX. both seem the same. it's not "refreshing" as some people might say. if on the other hand, there was different inputs on the original one, maybe some instruments, maybe some of the songs were dark and some were not, maybe any colour you like had different lyrics, maybe great gig in the sky had that tension we were looking for, this wouldn't be bad. I understand music is mostly subjective, but there are rules to creating good piece of art and there are tons of great record over the year prove that, thick as a brick, led zeppelin III, I don't like it but sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band, electric ladyland, thriller, highway 61 revisited, machine head.....

If it came out and the original never existed, it would probably get rave reviews. There is another aspect to the negative reviews, it is a personal dislike of his political views. The music is not bad at all. It's very good. Your comparison to good bad and ugly is ridiculous; sounds nothing like it. Musically this album is very good. Stop comparing it to the original and enjoy it for what it is. To criticise any likeness to Cohen is insane, when there is so much music that sounds alike. This album is pretty unique in comparison to most.

I can understand and even agree with most of what you say, but I'm not sure about "rave" reviews. C'mon man. don't be like that. I got nothing to talk about his political views (meaning I don't care for them, not for good, not for bad, I don't even know his political views). I don't care about his ideas if they're not related to music. free four is a great track, obscured by clouds is much better than redux in my opinion. not that redux is "crap", like i said in the video, I liked a lot of stuff as much as I didn't like a lot of stuff. good bad ugly is not comparison, I just said it popped in my head, i liked it, made me think about that. but here's my problem with this comment, "stop comparing it to the original". no dude, that's impossible. If he didn't say something like "cut this we crap, I wrote dark side", I'd say that this is his album and you can love it or hate it, it's got good moments, it's got very bad moments (just like rattle that lock album from gilmour). this is a personal video with personal thoughts, just like hundreds more on youtube. I'm nowhere near a critic and sure as hell not a professional musician. but saying "stop comparing it to original" after roger trashes everyone else is just not possible.

@@mustyguitar Maybe let Waters have his bad moment and forgive him for it? Perhaps he had been feeling under appreciated and his ego got out of control when he said those things. And obviously no one can escape comparing it to the original. How could you not be hearing the original in your head whilst listening to it? It is a companion piece. To be honest, it is testimony to the original that so many people can't hear this without prejudice. It was always going to be a let down if you expected to stand on a level with it!

Roger is a brilliant writer musician (or was) He could have written about these themes without even mentioning The Dark Side Of The Moon. It could have been a new album.

[@montbob100]

wtf?

[@msh6865]

This is laughably bad. I mean it's embarrassing. It should never have happened. It reeks of despair and failure. I guess those who nuthug Waters no matter what he does will enjoy it. But, that says more about them than anything else. Hopefully this gets forgotten very, very quickly.

[@melaniezette886]

Sorry you had to listen more than once

[@MarcoB123]

Words have power, but so do notes, Mr. Waters.

[@burakaslaner_underfeels]

there are some good things about the album ive wanted to hear time to time like a slow and dark version of time and breath they were good actually but the rest was mid

[@jimstorie9150]

Im not interested, jus keep on w the original, its all ya need.

[@semi-decentmontages7906]

I absolutely love this album. Perfect in its own way, just like the og dark side and wywh. But its really a love hate album, nothing in between. And I absolutely loved it. I so think u were way too rash on it but I respect the opinion

[@thedude3545]

What Gilmour and Waters did on there own was shit for the most part.

[@ummagumma7826]

Yikes, the musicians on the album are top notch. Time organ solo is fantastic. Most organists would have overdone it. Very refreshing imo. I don't need another note for note album or Pulse rendition

[@JonasKvinge]

I was not very impressed with it either. Money was awful and unlistenable, it had some ok parts, but I rather listen to the original.

[@marklechman2225]

This album is the equivalent of someone remaking the Mona Lisa in Canva.

[@michaelscott8992]

No, it's nothing like that at all.

[@dominikwdowski3855]

I agree with every word you say in this video... That's actually kinda weird... 😐

[@spacecowboya1]

Waters is a pretty good song writer but a mediocre singer / bass player

[@haroldherkommerjr8968]

Are you kidding Roger, don't you have anything better to do. Disgraceful

[@martinc76]

i didn’t dislike it, it just a normal album, nothing much or less, well maybe just one thing, the solo on time, he just leave the song with nothing, quite useless

[@jacobwhite281]

There’s no music. Just that choad talking. Lol

[@Ad_Astra1905]

Speak for yourself

[@jacobwhite281]

If this new “album” was a person it would be Joe Biden.

[@Kucavik]

In my opinion, Redux is an insult to the Dark side of the moon album. And normally I respect Waters as a musician (as opposed to his character and opinions). Even when he announced this project, I knew that this was not a good idea, but the result is far worse than I expected.🫣
