I think they make a fair point. Roger Waters is good, but seeing him play “The Wall” solo was much too theatrical and not very good. I’m just not a huge fan of him.
Me too… I’m not sure why it’s valid to dismiss a criticism because it comes from what someone thinks is a ‘lowly/emo’ source. They might make music that I am not a fan of, but I think there is something to what they are saying. But that’s a different argument. I just don’t think ad hominems are the greatest way to defend Roger Waters.
look at how big he can open his mouth, just look, he can fit at least 5 death cab cuties in there at a time, no problem, none at all, now the digestive process, thats a different story
No offense but who listens to those albums or ANY Floyd albums just for the lyrics? That’s like saying you don’t like You Enjoy Myself because you hate the lyrics.
And yeah, Momentary Lapse of Lyrics was lacking in the music as well … although I love the two awesome songs it boasts. The rest of the album is boring though. Still, I’ll take boring over embarrassing any day, and it’s not embarrassing by any stretch IMO.
On the other hand I’m not a fan of Final Cut. So I’m by no means a Waters apologist.
