The Endless River (Music) | comment |
The Endless River is the fifteenth and final studio album by Pink Floyd, released in 10 November 2014 through Parlophone Records in the UK and Columbia Records in the US. Their first album after twenty years and their first double-LP since The Wall nearly 40 years priornote modern-day vinyl reissues of The Division Bell also come in double-LP form, but this is more out of necessity than creative vision, as the sheer length of the strictly CD-oriented album makes it difficult to release uncut as a single LP, it is also the first after the deaths of both Richard Wright and the long-departed founding member Syd Barrett.Most of the album is comprised of instrumentals, with only one song with lead vocals by David Gilmour. Much of the album is composed of out-takes from The Division Bell, and so features Wright posthumously. It was the first album since The Final Cut not to have a supporting tour, owing in part to the sense of finality that Gilmour and Mason wanted out of the record.Compared to previous Pink Floyd albums, The Endless River is a far more ambient-oriented affair, with considerable focus on mood and texture than conventional melody (largely due to it consisting primarily of old instrumental outtakes). The broad majority of the album is purely instrumental, with the only lyrical song on it being the closing track, "Louder Than Words". Like most previous songs from the Gilmour-led incarnation of Pink Floyd, the lyrics for it were penned by Gilmour's wife, Polly Samson.Preceded by The Division Bell. | |

Non-Indicative Name: "Autumn '68" features an archival recording of Richard Wright playing the Royal Albert Hall pipe organ during the late '60s, but contrary to the title the recording was from June of 1969. | |

Bookends | |
The Endless River (Music) / int_53224e46 | comment |
Bookends: The ending of "Louder Than Words" reprises the synth arpeggio that opens "Things Left Unsaid". Additionally, the opening lines of "Louder Than Words", "we bitch and we fight, diss each other on sight," recall the interview snippet in "Things Left Unsaid" of David Gilmour stating that "we shout and argue and fight, and work it on out." | |

Siamese Twin Songs | |
The Endless River (Music) / int_7d276626 | comment |
Siamese Twin Songs: Almost the entire album, with the only cutoff points being the gaps between each side. To this extent, the CD release has the entirety of each side sequenced with the songs in such close proximity to one another that the disc seemingly appears to only have four tracks (the songs are still sequenced individually though, meaning you can skip across all 18 tracks at will. | |

Fading into the Next Song: As is standard for Pink Floyd, with the only gaps being fade-outs at the end of each side; this is even the case on CD and digital copies. | |
