Now I do agree that the album lacks something that the other albums had (can't put my finger on it, exactly), but I honestly like it more than FOABP, which is a bit too 'angsty' for my taste and had some really questionable writing/lyrics.
Give "Dogs" a listen. It is on Floyd's Animals record, which is my favorite Floyd record, and the 17-minute "Dogs" is my favorite Floyd track.
Word of warning though-- it puts "Time Flies" to shame. And, for me-- the inclusion such a borrowed bit taints all of The Incident to an extent.
