A momentary lapse of reason

"In the end, A Momentary Lapse of Reason would become one of the band's most polarizing releases. There were standout tracks, but the disc as a whole didn't stand up to the Pink Floyd of the past. Roger Waters, of course, would criticize the album, stating that it was not a true Pink Floyd release. Wright would later agree, explaining in the book Comfortably Numb: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd, "Roger's criticisms are fair. It's not a band album at all." ... However, that seemed to matter little to the fans. The disc surpassed quadruple platinum status in the U.S. It spawned the year's biggest tour and a companion live album, The Delicate Sound of Thunder, in 1988. Plus, the crew of the Soyuz TM-7 would take the disc on their mission, making Pink Floyd the first rock band to be played in outer space".
