This album demonstrates why Pink Floyd are unique in the world and why only they manage to deliver this type of music and atmosphere.
This album goes through all the sounds of their discography (you can notice small fragments that remind you of Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Welcome to the Machine, Hey You, and many others) and it gives a music lesson to anyone who even minimally tries to emulate them.
They are unique, and this album proves it.
It especially gives a lesson to Waters, who always considered himself the leader and the only one capable of giving the group's atmosphere, while in this album it becomes clear that Pink Floyd are the result and the amalgam of all the members (that's clear just by listening to "The Final Cut," which was written by Waters alone and is the worst album of their discography).
It's also nice that in this record Gilmour's guitar does not overshadow Wright's keyboards, given that Endless River was created to pay him tribute.
Marvelous.

The new album by Pink Floyd is a De Profundis announced.
There is nothing memorable and nothing worth spending money on.
By Joe Cavalli
"The Endless River is a good product at the end of the day, it inevitably mirrors the atmosphere of Division Bell."
"The solo in Louder Than Words is fabulous to me, and for those who love this extraordinary guitarist, it’s a nice treat."

"It is everything a true fetishist of the group would have always wanted to hear."
"It probably won’t be the best, but it is certainly the most sincere and heartfelt of farewells."

It may not be the best but it is certainly the most sincere and heartfelt of goodbyes.
The Endless River does not propose novelties, but it sounds like the Pink Floyd of the 'Post War Dream' would have and should have.

"It is not an album for novices... It’s for long-time fans who have exhausted their entire discography."
"It should be taken with emotions, and with this they have succeeded fully."
