As long-time Floyd fans, this was definitely a surprise! Let us know your thoughts and relax with us for a while. 😊

I'm so glad you're reacting to this. I was going to request a track from this sometime in the near future. Thank you :) By the way, No Way Out of Here is a remake of a song by a largely unknown British band. Please don't listen to that original track from that band yet, though, because I'll request it, when the time comes, for a future reaction request. Blessings :)

Also, Comfortably Numb was originally written for this album.

My take on the Gilmour/Waters contribution to Pink Floyd: David Gilmour brought a more musical, dreamy, melodic approach to Pink Floyd, while Waters added the cynical, conceptual, psycho-analytical aspect to the Floyd sound. Though post-Waters Floyd was arguably more commercially successful, the post-Waters Floyd albums lacked the epic, visionary qualities of Waters-era Floyd. The Waters-era albums tend to carry more weight with the fans in terms of Floyd's place in rock history.

Now that I've watched your reaction, it was truly enjoyable. The last section of Raise My Rent reminds me of Welcome to the Machine. Very Floydian :)

Hey guys! This was awesome, haven't heard this in its entirety in decades. Played the crap out of it when it came out and sold it along with the rest of my collection when I came overseas in 1984. I'm thrilled you liked it, wasn't sure you would. And here's a little info/background related to the record: “There might also have been a financial motive for doing a solo album. By 1978 it was evident that although Pink Floyd was one of the biggest selling bands of all time, their investments had failed and they were now also subject to massive taxation. In short – they were broke. In a recent interview with Uncut Magazine, David explains his motive for doing a solo album in 1978 “I don’t think it was a counteract to some sort of frustration I was feeling within Floyd. If anything, I thought it would be nice to have a bunch a guys in a room, play some tunes, knock ’em down and put out (a) record”. This might very well be one of the reasons for doing the album, but there definitely was a lot of tension within Pink Floyd at that point – both during and after the Animals tour, which ended in July 1977. They were sick and tired of each other and from touring. Roger, especially, went through a though time and didn’t feel comfortable with the exposure and the rabid fans. His pissy mood was a stark contrast to David, who, according to himself in later interviews, enjoyed the tour.” “”Comfortably Numb” was originally written by David in early 1978 and intended for the solo album. A demo that surfaced in the early 90s, reveal that although the key was different, most of the structure of the song is very similar to the finished version that ended up on The Wall. Run Like Hell also dates from the sessions. In an interview with Musician (1992), David hints that “Short and Sweet” and “Run Like Hell” was based on the same ideas, which makes sense when you listen to the main riffs.”

So stoked that you reacted to this abum. Nothing better than seeing a first time reaction of a great album for the first time. When you listen to it a few times you hear him singing to Roger (how I read it). Kinda neat. Still remember being bored and listening to this album through my dad's headphones on a rainy day. Sometimes I miss the pre cellphone era. Great reaction.😊 I think the whole lack of psychadelic vibe is it has a go fu vibe or I'm trapped in a bad situation vibe I think. Just me. I like it because the songs are emotionally athentic, even if they are dark, or angry or done with petty motives. As long as you make me believe that you are emotionally invested a much greater chance I'll enjoy your music. This album fits the bill. Not Pink Floyd great but a ton of fun and great musician. For a big Floyd fan loved that he was talking to Roger. Cheers.

Yes, I bet most people aren't aware of that.

Hi Nick and Alexia, I always try to comment and will be honest, I have never heard this album! Not until tonight of course (notwithstanding the song Nick reacted to a couple of weeks ago) so it was great fun to react alongside you in a way. My opinion? I thought it was wonderful. I have just placed my order with Amazon so there you go, I need to have it in my collection. I'm trying to figure out how I missed it in the first place, maybe its distribution in South Africa wasn't the best, but I would have thought there would be enough support from EMI SA (I presume) to market it properly. Anyway I missed out at the time, so am catching up just as you are. There are certainly 'Floydish' moments but David has always seemed to me to be the most 'rock 'n roll' member of the band, and this comes through in some of the tracks. Thanks for a fun and entertaining reaction guys and I'm looking forward to the next one xx
