A lot of Radiohead fans are in shock about this album, and this wishing for more material and seeking clues in the song titles and lyrics for another album is basically sying "this can't be it".

Kot nailed it.

This albums gets worse with each listen.

Blasphemy!

haha when you get Solace fired up, you know you're off the deep end with your comments. Dude is even-keeled.

Pulaski is incredible, but most of this feels like b-sides to me.

Wow this is...BAD. They had a nice run though.

People are desparate and loooking for musical heros, and their skipping the requirement of the album being mindblowing before they worship at the altar. That's the problem. I found the Suburbs to be horribly preachy and boring at the same time. Not a good combo.

Not too sure on this. These guys haven't made a good album since Kid A.

Blood on the Tracks Wish You Were Here

Isbell needs the Truckers.

Thx. I also understand they're doing an official live DVD set for filming in London, specifically for the Gilmour gig.

Roger Waters - The Wall | \/ everyone else Dear God was that mindblowing. Never seen anything like it. No doubt the greatest rock show in years. Pretty much considered genius and a "must do" by anyone who reviewed it.

No, a lot of artists don't put on great shows - especially the caliber of Prince. He's one of the remaining true entertainenrs, a real legend. There's no current live act that approaches his stage prowess in sheer physical performance.

Prince is amazing and several notches above the hacks in the blog year end lists.

Waters has confirmed Gilmour will be playing a U.S. date. All guesses were at Chicago or NY, but with those passed I think it's looking like LA, where they toured the original and recorded parts of the album.

Wright drifted after Wish You Were Here for various reasons. He does play on the Wall though, but there are no writing credits for him with the band after Wish You Were Here until The Division Bell. It's also important to understand that Roger and David also played keyboards, and Wright was not always behind them. Waters loved the EMS VCS3 synthesizer. This list of who played keys/synth on the Wall is interesting. The link also gives lots more detail on other albums: http://www.canadianpinkfloyd.com/blog/2009/11/who-played-what-episode-1-keyboards-on.html

Just an awful band.

You want sad? Volunteer at a hospice and have a chat with the dying aids and cancer patients, and then those with Alzheimer’s. Soon you will see what a real freaking disease is, and not something that a wealthy performer who can still function in society forces on himself over a long period of time. Your definition of what "disease" is changes real freaking fast. No one forced these people to constantly digest drugs and alcohol in the numerous social situations likely spread out over years which caused their addictions. Even if their brain is likely predisposed to addiction, they still h

A disease is something you don't choose. This is called "lack of brain". You have to work hard at becoming an alcoholic, and make conscious choices repeatedly over a period of time. No one chooses a little bit of Alzheimers every day until it overtakes them.

Idiotic. With your father's high profile addiction portfolio, you would think the kid practiced some sort of self awareness and took notes. Jesus, there's just no excuse for this at all.

Not nearly as well as Waters and Gaga. So many acts have outright cancelled tours due to lack of interest. It's a tough draw this year if you're not bringing something extra to the table. You mentioned "filling arenas". Big difference between playing them and filling them.

Eh...this is blatantly incorrect. Floyd set records for single event attendance and scale with something like 100,000 in Montreal and Chicago during the Animals tour in 1977. Waters built the Wall exactly because of the massive, freakish crowds of stadiums. "major rock act" = band with a string of masterpieces. This would include Zep, Stones, Floyd, U2, etc.

The only ones filling arenas right now are Waters, U2 and Lady Gaga. Dozens of acts have cancelled tours this year for lack of interest.
