On an Island isn't a bad album. The only slight difference between this album and his previous ones is that he is not afraid to show his solid blues roots. He has always been a great blues guitarist, but I get the feeling he wanted to hide it a little bit in previous releases. "On an Island" is a flat out blues album, and Gilmour makes no apologies for that.It is also extremely mellow. I wouldn't listen to it in my car for fear of falling asleep. It would be an excellent album to listen to late at night, with candles burning, and a loved one by my side.There is a slight problem with this album. I expected that after 15 years or so, Gilmour's style might have changed a little more significantly. It is a very "safe" album for him. I'd like to see him take a few more risks in the future.
