    He's in a bit of an "old favorite artist" sweet spot for me....I don't expect miracles or masterpieces from him anymore, but he releases new stuff so infrequently that I really can't complain. Dropping $15 or so once a decade for solid C+ material isn't exactly breaking my bank

    TBH, it's more like i don't know when i'm going to feel like it is the thing i want to hear "right now", more than anything else. of course, if others, whose opinions i trust, are saying enough good things, i'll give it a shot

    Oh yeah, I get it. As a whole Rattle was a definite step down from On an Island (which I happen to really enjoy). But there are a couple of tracks that I still enjoy from time to time, that make owning the album worth the $$. But I definitely appreciate folks approaching with healthy caution.

    Yeah, Rattle had some great moments but a lot of it was skippable so not expecting too much except some great guitar playing hopefully. If he could have the songs more in the vein of On An Island or his long lost first album I'd be happy. I wonder if he'll tour?

    I believe that when he toured for "rattle" he said it was his last tour - not that that would stop him, if he wanted to.

    Sweet! Look forward to hearing it and Rick Wright is on a tune!

    Exactly. Personally, for instance, I only buy albums that have potential for high replay value. And as far as preordering goes, the only artist I trust enough to preorder their music is Roine Stolt/TFK*. B)

    *not if you consider non-rock/prog music xd

    Well, I like Rattle a lot more than On An Island, so I’m excited.

    David Gilmour is like a Cicada. He comes out every 13 years or so, makes a loud noise, then disappears for another 13 years.

    I think Rattle That Lock is lousy. Bringing a Rick Wright barn jam clip into a song isn't making me like the prospect of this album being any better, either. Samson isn't a good lyricist in my view. And his statement of throwing out all he thought he was bound to doesn't bode well...We'll see, but not holding my breath.

    Not an auto buy for me anymore as I have been somewhat disappointed in the last few he has done. Going to wait to see some reviews first.

    The only Floyd related thing that is auto-buy for me is anything from Nick Mason. Who knew?

    Same here. I don't get why Rattle That Lock gets panned as much as it does.

    I don't hate it, I just fine it rather dull.

    So is On An Island - Live it was dull but the same show was spectacular once they went to the Floyd material, including Richard Wright.
    What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)

    You can't go wrong with Rattle and Gabble Ratchet. It's like bread and butter. Or maybe Gabchet Rattle?

    I was referencing the fact you were in a band called Gabble Ratchet!

    I saw that tour too and agree.
