The lyricism of Waters is sharp one final time before his departure from the band, and though Gilmour’s guitar leads are criminally few and far between, they are characteristically epic when they do appear. TFC borders on being a Roger Waters solo effort. On top of that, it does feature quite a few interesting, progressive tracks and is an interesting listen to hear the groundwork upon which the greatest band of all time was built. While this album is somewhat uneventful instrumentally, as the band was mostly limited by the wishes of their record label, it is the album that started it all. With Barrett beginning his rocky exit from the group, they seem almost afraid to take any risks at all, which manifests itself in a record that can only be described as uncharacteristically boring. Obscured By Clouds is by far the least interesting and inventive Floyd record of them all. While the album isn’t technically the groups worst, it warrants this lowest spot because it barely deserves the title of Pink Floyd album. Pink Floyd had already said goodbye twenty years prior with “The Division Bell,” but “River,” was, it seems, Gilmour’s goodbye to the band that made his career.
