Even before anyone had heard a snippet of it, the quality of Pink Floyd’s The Endless River was being hotly debated. It’s easy to see why so many people were hyped for this album. It’s the first new material from Pink Floyd in twenty years, and includes material written by late keyboardist Richard Wright. That said, it’s also obvious why many are less than thrilled about this record. The music comes from the recording sessions for The Division Bell, which itself is a “love it or hate it” album among Floyd fans. Not only that, but Roger Waters, who led the band through their most successful period, is not featured at all on the album. So does The Endless River live up to Pink Floyd’s classic work, or does it fail?
