It simply is not very good. Sure, Roger Waters has a way of communicating every detail of his apparently very traumatic childhood, but it makes the CD way too dramatic, very overboard. What's even more disappointing is that the music isn't all that great either.Don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE Floyd fan, since I was about 9 years old (now in my 30s). But this CD simply does not live up to prior Floyd greats such as Dark Side, Meddle, Animals, Wish..., Atom Heart Mother. It is, however, a perfect compliment to The Wall (which I really liked at first, but now NEVER listen to--probably because it was too commercially successful, played too much).In any event, I gave this 2 stars because the last few songs are decent: Two Suns, Fletcher Memorial, are probably the best in the bunch. Sadly, though, not worth plunking down your hard earned cash. There is better Floyd to be had.
