Let's face it...

Review Score: (8/10)
...This may not be the best Floyd album ever, but its pretty damn good! Learning to Fly and The Turning Away are surely not my favorites. But, One Slip and Sorrow are GREAT songs. My favorite part of the album is what is billed as Terminal Frost (the instrumental interlude) between The New Machine parts I & II. I know that I have never heard a more tentative approach to hope in any other album. It is hope surrounded by darkness.

If for no other reason, this is one of my fave Floyd albums. Dust it off, turn off the lights and give it another listen...
