Brave newcomer, Floydy, who goes against the flow with your enthusiasm for this album! but yes, MB is a great place for swapping views - in fact we rather thrive on contrary opinions, so I hope you stick around.
Perhaps I´m not doing the album
full justice, as I´ve only heard six minutes of
It´s what we do, but I´m already overwhelmed with a soporific sense of deja vu. What sad irony that a band which was once a by-word for innovative music has chosen to lock itself into such a depressingly retro style.
(My apologies if I dent in any way your own perfectly valid enthusiasm, Floydy. Enjoy what your heart tells you to, and don´t worry about tedious wet blankets on the internet, ok?)

The album is good when you compare it to other releases, but it is not even close to being what they're capable of.
I'd give it a 5.5/10...

^ Sorry to sound pedantic, ContrivedN, but I have to wonder what this means - translated from what to what ?!
