Ear Candy? Ear Candy!? This record sounds like dogshit. Gilmour's hyper-compressed guitar tone is among the worst I've ever heard. His "soaring" solos make me vomit blood.

Every post-Syd recording they made was nothing. Utterly vacuous, pointless, idea-free noise. May as well have recorded a vacuum-cleaner.

CRAP.

Wow. This is saddening.

I am incredibly glad that this is not the sound of a vacuum cleaner.

You dig 2112, an Ayn Rand based sci-fi tale of priests hunting down a renegade who has procured a verbotten guitar in a cave, and think *my* brain is damaged?

I'll give you The Wall. I can waffle hard on that one. I was once a 15 year old boy in an altered state and nostalgia is a powerful thing, but even back when I thought Neil Peart's lyrics were heaaaavvvvy I thought 2112 was just too much. At least Hemispheres gets it over with in ONE side.

My deal was always the over-indulgence component of these types of records. Do we really need 4 sides to tell a story?
This is rock music, man.
Rip off the band aid already.
