Pink Floyd - The Endless River - reviews and personal thoughts

I can't really be bothered with all the sax on PF albums.

Dick Parry and Clare Torry have provided some of the most chill-inducing moments in PF history.

I said sax not sex!

[Frumious B]

I stand corrected. Thanks for filling me in on her background. That was rather shortsighted of me, wasn't it? I still don't care for the lyrics to the last tune, but I understand their purpose.

Samson did a decent job with the lyrics for On An Island I think, however unfortunate it is that the word "diss" is now on a Pink Floyd record thanks to her.

^^ "No sax please, we're British!"

Joking aside, I like sax on an album, provided it's not overused. I love the way it's used in the opening part of "Us and Them". One of my favourite uses of sax comes in the middle of "Don't Hate Me" by Porcupine Tree. It's especially effective there because it's not an instrument they used very often.

The sax is not my favorite sounding instrument but, when used is small doses & in support of rather than in the forefront, I enjoy it. Al Stewart immediately comes to mind. "Year of the Cat" vs "Time Passages."

That's the problem with music these days -- too much sax and violins!

[Sean]

This cd has about 16 bars of sax on it (if that), that's all. So what's the issue?

That it's schlocky and horrible . And I like the sax on earlier Floyd albums, especially WYWH. I don't know why, maybe just age but here the sax sounds like something from Guy Lombardo. But it is brief and easily skipped.

LOL. That's pretty stupid. At least she didn't use Twerk.

[Nijinsky Hind]

Who be dissin the sax? Loves me a growly sax. Not a lombardo-like sax tho.

This twerking we do, it's louder than words.

It would be something if the pink floyd painted bottom girls would twerk to DSotM.

With dwarves. That talk backwards.

[MYSTERIOUS TRAVELLER]

I know that "dis" is short for "disrespect"... but what the heck is twerk short for?

"This word is for jerks"

Now that's a reference I can smile at.

THAT twerking I'd like to see. I actually think they should Twerk to Echoes.

Yeah... Much better choice. Custom made for twerking.

[Halmyre]

LOL - that's hilarious about tin pipe! To each his own.

Are the lyrics on Animals that vaguely derogatory for the time?

Mmm, suppose so, but Dave and Rog aren't yet being derogatory about each other. They're still hanging on in quiet desparation.
