Retaining collaborators from Floyd's past (producer Bob Ezrin), this Gilmour-led version of the band crafted a number of songs that were as cerebral and introspective as anything Floyd had done in the past. The first single, "Learning To Fly," served as the unofficial anthem for this latest chapter of Pink Floyd. The Andy McKay/Gilmour-penned "One Slip" uses the requisite bells and whistles along with Tony Levin's impressive stick solo to guarantee it a prominent place in the band's canon. "The Dogs of War" and "On The Turning Away" are perfect commentaries on the conservative mindset shaping the '80s at the time. The former is an ominous screed composed at a time when the Cold War was still a reality whereas the latter is a sad swipe against the self-absorption of the Me Decade.

Reviews  Pink Floyd Momentary Lapse ReviewReview created: 13/08/08 by:  I love Roger Waters. I also love David Gilmore. This album is very much David Gilmore's baby and is very reminiscient of some of his solo work. There is a gentler, less angst-ridden vibe to the songs; not that they are lacking in passion or even anger, on occasion. That Waters on-the-edge feeling is absent. This is a beautiful album, which I would recommend to anyone. It is still very much Pink Floyd but it is a long way removed from works such as The Dark Side and The Wall. Depending on your taste, this may be a pro or a con! Review ID: 10000000008337428 Was this review helpful?

One is tempted to think that they only made this recording so that the previous one would not be remembered as their last. However, A Momentary Lapse of Reason proves beyond any doubt that there was more to Floyd than the writing of Roger Waters. Excellent stuff. Review ID: 10000000005711603 Was this review helpful? Report this review Pink Floyd Re-launchedReview created: 05/01/08 by: After Roger Waters decided to upship,Many fans must have thought it would spell the death throws of Pink Floyd. Musicaly, the creative heartbeat was still intact and that coupled with a strong personal drive from David Gilmour to make the latest chapter work well,resulted in a decent Floyd album. All the tracks are well crafted and as a total piece, traditional Floyd`its will not be dissapointed. It does however lack somewhat lyrically,but Mr Waters could never be replaced totally and in this instance,it shows. A few years after this release, Roger Waters gave us "Amused To Death". A true masterpiece of conceptual prog rock,which if had been released under the Pink Floyd banner would have sold millions. This album highlighted what was missing from "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason". That said, AMLOR is still a very good album and is up there with their best work. Review ID: 10000000004989424 Was this review helpful?
