Listening to Hackney Diamonds to me is still overshadowed by Hairball's death and other shite going on around me right now, so I want to leave it at some descriptive remarks for the moment. It's a very coherent, consistent and homogeneous-sounding album to me, not a torn affair like e.g. Voodoo Lounge. It was certainly a good idea to cut the album down to 12 songs. It's got its ver

This is devastating news. Hairball is one of those people whose stamp is to be found all over IORR. This place will not be the same without him. I began to get a bad feeling when Hairball no longer posted in the Hackney Diamonds-related threads, and definitely when no more posts by him appeared in the discussion of Roger Waters’ then still impending release of his remake of Dark Side Of The Moon.

Meanwhile I had the chance to listen to the whole album more properly. What can I say, first of all it suffers severely from galloping Waterism (or should I say, Waterization?). Roger apparently tried to construct a sort of (new) framework into which the existing songs (i.e., those with lyrics), would more or less fit. In service of that he uses almost every (formerly) free second (i.e., the orig
