I'm about to get in the car for a little trip, and I've just picked this album, which I gave a quick listen to last night. It will be perfect to keep me company for the next 200 km. I included a few samples, but I saw that on their website there are all the samples from the CD. ps: kappa if you want, I can send it to you at the next cultural exchange :) Bye

On the issue of whether it's exaggerated, one can certainly discuss it; I was talking about the fact that the music has a narrative thread, and it seems unfair to refer to it as a jumble. As for the rest, I completely agree with zigghio's comment, which clarifies one of my doubts about this review, and I would like to emphasize that, for me, this is not a good review NOT because of the negative judgment expressed about the album, but because of how this judgment has been constructed (weakly) and the forced nature of the content.

Aside from the typo Parker/De Palma ;) I agree with logic, those images have entered the minds of many people. By the way... thinking about the movie, I really liked a piece that seems to be missing from the album "what shall we do?", I liked it a lot also for the lyrics and I find it more current today than back then ("shall we buy a new guitar ..."). Does anyone know why it wasn't included in the album? Hi.

The review also does not contextualize the album enough within the moment it was produced, as others have pointed out. It does not attempt to understand its success, but simply ridicules it. Honestly, sometimes I think that people attack something a bit out of bias (whether it's about PF or the Beatles wouldn't change the essence of the method), but it's just an impression and I could be wrong, and in any case, the discussion that has taken place remains positively on the table—it's still interesting. However... well... personally, I have never loved Vivaldi's music, but to go from that to calling him overrated (unless ironically) is quite a leap. As for the album, for me it's an important piece of adolescence, an ambitious and not easy work at the time, today a distant listen, but one that retains value. That it may not appeal to everyone, as Logic rightly points out, seems fair to me.

The fourth follows the third; I don't understand the "j'accuse" (quite frequent in reviews of PF, to be honest) directed at Waters' overflowing ego: what problem does it create that an artist tells his own story through music? Where's the strangeness? Where's the negative aspect? The dislike for the character? I don't know... Then the analysis of the album is misleading, since talking about a jumble evokes the idea of randomness, while the album is a narrative that logically connects different musical passages (baroque, dramatic, devastating, catastrophic, intimate, etc.). That it isn’t randomness that governs the album is demonstrated by the fact that it is linked to a film (which isn't mentioned in the review).

Aside from the personal judgment on the album, which remains legitimate, whether positive or negative, while maintaining the benefit of the doubt regarding the intentions of the review, I believe some “exaggerations” have been written. The first, the reference to Barrett as being robbed of ideas by Waters, seems a bit excessive to me (at least when framed in those terms, it feels like a joke). The second is about the significance of Gilmour's contribution to the album, which I’m not sure was really as minor as it seems from the review. It feels strange listening to it. I don’t know... The third: among the "serious" aspects of the album, there is, for example, the concept of alienation, a leading theme of the 20th century (and I believe still relevant), not wild strawberries, nor a trivial topic to fill the air with. Why connect a negative judgment to discussing these themes? I don’t see the link. Shouldn’t we talk about them? Did they not exist? Do they not exist? I would have understood a critical analysis on the weakness of conveying them (still to be argued), but put that way… who knows?.
