No hate... just disappointment. To me, this seriously sounds like a lazy album... the music is derivative of his past stuff, and the keyboards and guitar work that I've enjoyed from past Waters and Floyd albums just isn't there. Maybe I've been spoiled by Amused to Death (which I just discovered with the multichannel release) and all the recent Floyd re-issues. I'm not sure what his message is, but he sure seems angry (of course, that's nothing new)... I usually have to enjoy the music before I start delving into the lyrics. Nothing about this album is epic (IMO).
Anyway, I've got tickets to his show in L.A., so I'm just hoping he keeps the new material to a minimum (this might be my son's only chance to see some live Floyd by an original member!)
By the way, snood won the CD!:banana:
