Finally someone else who likes the PF album!

I am not a Prog / Floyd fan, but i like the most of PF's output. Many "die-hard" PF fans want to hear another WYWH or DSOTM or PATGOD and they are not thinking how extraordinary is that we have another great (final :( record from them.

The same happens with KS (everyone want just another Mirage or Moondawn or X) or TD (everyone want just another Phaedra, Rubycon, Encore or Logos)
(OK, KS almost did another Mirage in Japan :)

That's sad! :(

Now, really...? I'm surprised, I seem to remember more posts (both here and on FB) that said people loved it. What I've heard so far I personally found very enjoyable, too...

Now, the fact of some final album alone wouldn't necessarily turn it into a great one; then again, the fact that it comes so late in their career of course doesn't necessarily turn it into a bad one, either...

Well, I also regret those expectations; however if an artist or a band decides to change his style or develop it further, it depends if the new style he arrives at is great in it's own right - or not. Both happened in the cases of once succesful artists, and sometimes it even happened several times throughout their career, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse...

.

Oh, btw. - sorry to say so but in my book what KS did on "Big in Japan" (except using the original sequence from "Crystal Lake") had nothing to do with "Mirage" at all...

Well, perhaps it's not the same music but the same sensations the listeners had when they were listening to said albums for the first time. Or a quality standard, musically, aesthetically, technically perhaps?

I for one do not mind albums that tap the vein and try to capture some kind of essence, of *spirit*.

I don't like flat-footed copies just for the sake of it, though.

The best opinion that i found on The Endless River was that it's OK but never should happens ... Maybe i need to read / search more :)

Regarding Mirage - i wrote "almost" :) - OK it was quite far even from "almost" :)
