iron yuppie said:I have a profound soft spot for Momentary Lapse of Reason. I listened to it almost non-stop when I was 14 or 15. But I can certainly now understand that it underwhelms as a record. The lyrics in particular are a weak spot, and, as djerdap said, it has not aged well. Division Bell is quite a step up, but I don't feel as strongly about it as I once did, either. Marooned, Coming Back to Life, and High Hopes are all great songs, though. You can probably toss A Great Day for Freedom in there as well.
As i'm not an english native speaker, the inane or bad lyrics don't hit me that hard on the face. So i'm kinda lucky in that regard that i can focus on the sound first. I sometimes think that if english was my native language, i would not like a lot of the things i do like now.
