This album is going to require some serious listening. There are eighteen songs presented by Pink Floyd here all trying to convey something different to the listener.
Even after a twenty year hiatus we can still immediately pick out that distinctive sound. Are we going to actually hear anything new and breath taking here? Probably not, but if you are a fan of long melodic songs this album is a must for you. It stands on the past efforts of perhaps some of the best musicians in our lifetime and it is worth a very intent listening.
The songs date back to a side project called the big spliff around the time of the Division Bell album! Numerous hours of recorded songs were listened to by the band and selections were made of what they considered the most interesting songs. A reworking of the songs was undertaken and Endless River is the result. There are also bonus tracks for those who want to seek them out.
Apparently this will be the last offering of anything new from Pink Floyd so all those who enjoy this band should take the time to bask in their past glories.
