(check condition below)
A Momentary Lapse of Reason was the first album for the group following the acrimonious split with writer, singer and bass player, Roger Waters. Many perhaps feared that the band would falter without Waters who provided so much of the band's lyrical direction and album concepts. This album however, proved that Pink Floyd was not only alive and well, but that it would remain one of the most successful and popular bands of all-time. It illustrated that Dave Gilmour is not only a phenomenal musician, but an intelligent businessman.
The album is definitely more contemporary and accessible to the average listener compared to earlier works with songs like Learning to Fly and On the Turning Away being huge hits for the band. Yet while there is a gulf in tone between the previous Final Cut, the group has lost none of its musical technical brilliance. Combined with Gilmour's soulful guitar work that is comfortable playing call-and-response in Learning to Fly, or driving the song in Sorrow, all the elements that make Pink Floyd worth listening to are alive and well.
The concept album is still there and they immerse you straight away with Signs of Life, an eerie musical intro' in which you're listening to a rower pull their way down a waterway, a format that was rekindled in The Division Bell. The you're thrust into the uplifting Learning to Fly kicks you in a new directon.
There definitely is less of the brooding atmosphere and cynical intellectual turmoil that Waters enjoyed exploring and was not everyone's cup of tea, but it's not all gone. A New Machine parts I and II sees Gimour's voice enhanced by synthesizer and is especially haunting and forboding. And of course the last song, Sorrow, something of Floydian classic, which knocks away any chance you thought the band was all pop TV friendly. The opeing guitar work was apparently recorded in an ice hockey rink with rotating amps blasting out Gilmour's thick, mournful notes.
Definitely one of my favorite elements for it's richness of sound. I love the instrumentals and yet in plenty of the songs there are snippets of throwbacks to previous floyd sound techniques found in earlier albums, with the use of electronic sounds and the spoken human voice. Buy a decent set of headphones for this one.
