Is anyone else annoyed by the production on Pros and Cons?

I already find a lot of Clapton’s lead guitar tones on it kinda irritating, but the reverb on the vocals annoys the shit out of me. I don’t know why he thought this was a good idea but most of the album (take Sexual Revolution for example) has this really jarring almost old school rock n roll/rockabilly-esque slapback reverb that feels so out of place. Couple that with the way you can constantly hear his mouth noises and the way he started pronouncing lines that end with consonants around this time and it just turns me off the album.

There’s a bit of this on The Final Cut, but I like the songs well enough that I can just ignore it there. unfortunately the writing just isn’t strong enough to me here.

(Also, what’s the deal with reusing the chorus melody from Mother and part of Fletcher Memorial Home?)

Happy Floyd Friday! Vol 515 **Evening Edition**

It's that Time where we show appreciation to the greatest band in all the land! Were you dressed properly for work today?

  • Classic Rock Magazine vol 357 has a large cover of Pink Floyd detailing information from The Wall tour and its affect on the band.
  • Waters and Palestinian musician Mona Miari released a nine minute re-imagined version of Comfortably Numb titled "Comfortably Numb Reimagined" as a fundraiser for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. Some of the changes include the main verse lyrics being changed to "I will never become comfortably numb", Miari contributing Arabic verses (including a lullaby section), references to Gaza and Palestinian, and Gilmour's guitar solo being dropped.

To help end your Floyd Friday, I am leaving you with Pink Floyd's Jugband Blues side one, track 10 of Continu/ation from The Early Years

You have to add one song from any other Floyd album to put on WYWH. What are you choosing and where are you placing it?

And in this theoretical, if you say "I wouldn't add one," Roger opens a defamation lawsuit against you

Under rated... Snowy White! 🎸

Dude was a part of Pink Floyd from a touring aspect as well as real music made on Rick Wrights album "Wet Dream" and he was even on the recently released "8-track cash grab" by the PF music handlers. His guitar playing is amazing. If you guys havent listened to Snowy, please do. As a Floyd fan it is a pretty fun easter egg.

As much as the band means to all of us here, as you got older did you notice you were able to relate with the band at the same age?

Just turned 36 this past week and although my life is alright I can understand why Roger felt frustrated at this age when the Wall era was going on. It does seem the older I get the songs I thought was mysterious as a kid feels very relevant in my life currently. Just wondering anyone else had these similar experiences as life long Pink Floyd fans.
