Title: Forgettable Solo Effort
Product review: Were David Gilmour not a member of Pink Floyd, there's no way this album would still be in print after 22 years. Gilmour's an excellent guitarist and a fine singer, but he has none of the songwriting vision of his former bandmate, Roger Waters. It was Waters warped worldview that gave classic Pink Floyd its edge. Gilmour's undeniable talent may have added to Floyd's sound, but on his own he has nothing much to say. The songs on his debut album are mostly interchangeable. They are also pleasent enough, but dissipate before they can make an impression on your frontal lobe. That Gilmour could release an album of lumbering dinosuar rock in the midst of the punk explosion and not be ridiculed is some kind of testament. But its no reason to indulge him these many years later.
