Yes, but don’t get angry; you’re being a bit too rigid. Your point of view is interesting but not shareable, and you know it too. One shouldn’t be alternative at all costs. We need to be relaxed and listen. Maybe you’re a bit too tense and not listening well.

Anyway, I didn't want to be too rude, but I assure you that I know Pink Floyd better than the back of my hand, and besides the passion I have for them (as a whole), I know every twist and turn. And I can afford to write a review like that precisely because I know how things really are. An exceptional piece like "Cymbaline" was written by Waters and I don't think it’s that bad. Have you ever listened to the demos of "The Wall"? It doesn't seem to me that Gilmore wrote the parts; even the much-cited "Comfortably Numb," which Gilmore often boasts about having control over, is in reality just the central piece—the intro ("Hello... etc.") is written by Waters, and the bass line (genius and that everyone knows by heart, to the point of nausea) was invented by Waters. The bass line and the entire song of "Money" (another genius round and hyper-famous) wasn’t written by Gilmore, but by Waters. Gilmore (even he says so) was a great arranger, and his contribution was essential. But don’t talk to me about "musical soul" because I must assume otherwise that you are the crazy one. (Except for "Wish You Were Here," an exceptional stroke of genius and definitely some other minor tracks, but "musical soul" means something else... you have to consider the artistic career as a whole. Words have meaning and importance, remember that.)

The only album where Gilmour played bass is perhaps Animals, but that’s only according to Gilmour. Relax, I’m much more informed than you, fatty.

ha ha ha ha!......

Thank you, Jack, you are a friend!

A few words about this album: the one who was in charge in the Beatles was Paul McCartney, and this album is proof of that. It sounds like it came straight from the outtakes of Abbey Road or the White Album (doesn’t the intro of English Tea remind you of Number 9?). Ah, if you think my opening statement is heresy, check out the pirate video "Abbey Road" about the making of the album.
Anyway, ALBUM RATING 5, REVIEW RATING 4 (because I don't really agree with some points, not because it's poorly written, far from it!)
Bye Bye!

But what the hell did I write? My keyboard is flipping off one key after another... I apologize! Anyway, just kidding, Viktor, it's me who's biased! :)

ah yes, beautiful divsion bell, of course of course... baravo viktor, you have an excellent sense of music! your judgment is essential...

you guys are idiots. it’s a great album. but how the hell can you say the lyrics aren’t deep? and “trascending” what the hell is that? a nursery rhyme, for fuck's sake? mammamia, what a bunch of sheep you are. “they aren’t deep.. uh uh! they’re shit lyrics.. uh uh.. what lyrics are those.. uh uh.. enjoy your non-listening..” well fuck off, listen to gigi d'alessio instead, it’s better. okay, I exaggerated, it must be the heat, but the essence of my argument doesn’t change. I apologize for the outburst..

Anyway, I think he was joking, also because he hasn't replied since. It's like throwing a stone and hiding your hand...
