| AMLOR and TDB similarities Recently, after getting AMLOR, I realised how the two post-Waters albums are similar to each other! 1) opening instrumental Signs Of Life and Cluster One both begin with sound effects and keyboards and later include guitar solo. 2) second song Learning To Fly and What Do You Want From Me? I don't know how to describe it, they both have some fresh sound that makes me have a similar feeling from them. 3) radio song One Slip and Take It Back Both meant to be catchy - One Slip being really interesting, Take It Back not 4) guitar ballad On The Turning Away and Coming Back To Life Really similar, guitar solos and Dave singing the opening parts with only keyboard atmospheric sounds. 5) closing composition Sorrow and High Hopes The longest tracks on the albums, both very strong. 6) second instrumental Terminal Frost and Marooned various solos from the beginning to the end! 7) long slow song Yet Another Movie and Keep Talking No Way to explain it. Just my feeling plus that I really don't know about these two, sometimes I like them, sometimes not. 8) song with a very simple arrangement Dogs Of War and A Great Day For Freedom I never really liked them - the basic musical theme is good, but DOW has an awful arrangement (some synth and strange saxophone) and also AGDFF is just piano/singing->guitar solo. I have no opposite for A New Machine because no funny "experiment" appeared on TDB. Also, no opposites for Wearing The Inside Out (no Rick's sogn on AMLOR), Poles Apart (no such sophisticated and strange song on AMLOR) and Lost For Words (no relaxed (bar the lyrics) acoustic guitar based song on AMLOR). Hope many people will disagree with me and a few will agree.  |

| Re: AMLOR and TDB similarities I agree with you to a certain extent, they are both structured somewhat similarly. Overall though, they both sound quite different (AMLOR sounds harsher, slightly 80's style, whilst TDB returns to more of the old Floyd feel). |

| Re: AMLOR and TDB similarities  agree with the thread author. Perhaps Dave is using a recipe on a good rock album.

| Re: AMLOR and TDB similarities Oh, I don't think they're absolute crap...but they're not that good either, if they didn't have the Floyd name on them, they would've sold even less than they did (I sound like Roger). And the fact that my 'I-even-had-a-Take-That-record' sister thinks the best PF song is 'Learning to fly' isn't helping much either. It makes you think "then, it must be crap!" |

| Re: AMLOR and TDB similarities High Hopes is the one shining moment through it all (tho I must confess to singing along to Learning to Fly).

| Re: AMLOR and TDB similarities I agree that 'High Hopes' is one of the best Floyd tunes I also must say that 'Dogs of War' is about the worst song they ever did

 Stop Dave....(HAL) Quote:
Well Its a rather good attempt by Gilmour to Include a RWATERS type Signature to his defunct (but bloated with cash) Surrogate Band.Guess He doent has courage to sing on his own ("...should i've played the strings till my fingers are raw/sing till i sing anymore/so hard to please/  what do you want from me?")Learning to fly's USP is MASON's cockpit check! I think Dave  has a lame attempt using a 20 odd songwriters to  for asking for  Forgive And Forget songs to Roger!Anyway I you get a new same typo album if u pick blind any songs from either of th2 albms and burn in random order Voila !! A NEW PINK(stink)FLOYD ALBUM circa post 2003 AD |

Which is true for every single PF album released after Dark Side.
