when analyzing the floyd civil wars I can only come to the conclusion that waters was a solo artist stuck in a band that he no longer wanted to be in;
it was inevitable he was going to leave b/c he would no longer listen to gilmour's valuable input when constructing his songs, -
much of TFC were songs that were originally rejected from ' the wall ' sessions by gilmour & bob ezrin;

all members believed the band was creatively dead, although mason claimed the band once again became creatively viable when waters left..
