Title: Dreary, Self-Absorbed, & Unmelodic!
Product review: He ruined Floyd to do this???Great band! Great story & concept! Unfortunately the songs are dreary & not catchy! This is self-absorbed mysogyny, and lyrically top-heavy! Melody wise this is paper-thin! The Wall & Final Cut were both dreary, but both had solid songs with good hooks! Rog, it's called collaboration...look into it!PROS: Nice guitar solo on Sexual Revolution from Slowhand, and the brief duet on For the First Time Today Part 2 was a pleasant surprise!CONS: Clapton, Sandborn & the other A-Listers take a backseat to Waters' self-absorbed mysogynistic lyrics. The concept is an interesting one involving dreams, temptation & fidelity (kind of like Doctor Zhivago goes on a cross country trip across Europe). With a little less lyrics, some well written hooks from Clapton, and perhaps just a lttle more lead singing from others and this could have been a classic.
