mellow and boring at times in fact most of the time. Take a Breath is more rocky than anything on the album and is definately a highlight. well produced and has a backing orchestra on several songs and Graham Nash and David Crosby provide backing vocals on the title yrack if anyone cares |

Каждый раз, слушая этот альбом, я всё больше убеждаюсь в том, что это - альбом Пинк Флойд, в котором по каким-то причинам не сыграл Ник Мейсон и удивительным образом отсутствуют акценты на социальную тематику, столь характерную для Роджера Уотерса, ну да ладно.
Гилмору уже за 60, и соответственно, у него другие ценности жизни. Про них-то Гилмор и поёт в своём умиротворённом альбоме, который звучит, на удивление, медитативно. В нём нет, как я уже написал выше, социальной сатиры, в нём нет крутых прог-выкрутасов, нестандартных риффов, растянутых по полчаса треков. Всё, что есть в этом альбоме, это тёплая и уютная атмосфера и возрастная меланхолия, столь присущая ностальгирующим людям. |

What can you really say about an album like "On An Island"? It's absolutely beautiful. Mind you, it's no "Wish You Were Here" not "Animals", but the record flows so smoothly and on such an even keel that it's hard not to admit this is one great piece of work.
Gilmour's guitar playing is perhaps at it's best. It's so passionate and accurate in the way his guitar solos are crafted that it's hard not get be mesmerized by such work. Lyric-wise, "On An Island" is introspective and personal, and perhaps goes for the same approach as Floyd's last album "The Division Bell".
You really can't miss this. One of the best records released in my era so far. |
