This album was perhaps my biggest disappointment of 2015.
I loved The Endless River; even though it's kind of ambient music rather than a varied collection of songs, it still worked for me. I also thought On An Island was great, so I was really expecting something out of the box with this new Gilmour release.
Alas, there seemed to be two kinds of songs on it: slow meditative songs similar in style to On An Island, but not as good; and numbers like the title track, best described as "poppy". Oh, and then there is "Girl In the Yellow Dress" - interesting but not really my thing.
