Reviews

My copy is perfect - no noise... etc... and although I am not a huge Pink Floyd fan, I absolutely love this album. Weird reading all the negative reviews... I think the pressing and the music are amazing/. One of my favorite records I own... great way to start the day with a cup of strong coffee. Cheers -
Edited 4 years agoFull of whining and complaining, music is great at moments. Is this the Life We Really want and Bird in a Gale are good songs with a sense of urgency in the music and the aura of defeat in the lyrics. Roger is a brilliant musician that seems to only write about what he considers the problems in life. If you like whining this is your record. I enjoy this along with Amused to Death but I just wish he would make some more positive material. It cant always be doom and gloom Roger. My pressing was perfect. -
Bought the album. Spun it up a few times. I was disappointed. Also saw the tour. Roger should focus more on music and less on politics. -
Got this record alongside tickets to see Waters live. I see that people have surface noise, but my copy didn't get any. My copy is great. Amazing record. -
My US copy has excessive surface noise-- far too many ticks and pops. Ruins the presentation of the music. This LP was expensive given the shoddy pressing quality. Pretty lame. -
Edited 7 years agoWonder what happened to RTI's quality control. Loads of pops and clicks throughout. They used to be one of the very best pressing plants and now...this. -
I bought this LP when he came by on his 'Us + Them' tour - god what a good show that was. This album is great, too!
-
Edited 7 years ago@Iv426ify: got 4 copies (european pressing). They all had thin scratches. Looked like a secondhand lp. However these scratches didn't affect the sound. Only visual. In my opinion it's not acceptable, so I returned them.
-
The record sounds excellent, really quiet and spacious. There's a dynamic flow to the track listing. I can just imagine a Gilmour guitar lead on "Picture That". -
I Really enjoyed this album. Came with a digital , always a bonus. This is the first solo record I have heard from Waters, I will be getting the others. Played the first record, had a good sound for my basic record player.
