  • Still Satisfied After Years

    dyugyehlo9 November 2025United States🇺🇸

    Happy I purchased this back when I was younger and still own it today.

  • Gilmour's Brilliant Solo Mastery

    4 out of 5 stars
    UsequyHk14 August 2025United States🇺🇸

    Some tracks have a bit of a muffled sound, but overall, I really enjoy this album. Gilmour's vocals are still fantastic, and his guitar skills, as usual, are extraordinary. I concur with the previous comment about 'On An Island' and 'Rattle That Lock' – they're incredible and showcase Gilmour's brilliant solo work.

  • Rediscovered Gem

    3 out of 5 stars

    Grabbed this one not long ago, hadn't listened since it first came out, and boy did I forget what a gem this album is.

  • David's Impressive Debut

    4 out of 5 stars
    HizmaazMamuzfzFE17 April 2025United States🇺🇸

    David's debut album post-Pink Floyd is an amazing journey throughout. The sound quality is really impressive as well - crystal clear with a rich musical experience and a nice distinction between the instruments.

  • Extended Outro Bonus

    5 out of 5 stars
    inqin20 February 2025United States🇺🇸

    Upon comparing this to the original CD version, I must say it's quite similar, with just a touch more volume. There's a bit of peaking during the louder parts, but it's not excessive. From what I can hear, this release isn't over-compressed. What I really appreciate is the extended outro on the final track, 'Near the End', which lets you enjoy more of Gilmour's lead. It's a small detail, but for me, any extra chance to listen to him play is a bonus.
