This was actually the first Floyd album I listened to as a kid. I remember hearing people talk about The Wall, and when I looked in my dad's albums, this was the first Pink Floyd I came across so I played it. The only thing I really remember from that first listen is that I wasn't impressed. As an adult I find the lyrics quite political, if very focused on a specific time in the UK. (closing shipyards, high unemployment, not-so-subtle anti-Japanese sentiments)
The song Post War Dream actually has a lyric "If it wasn't for the Nips being so good at building ships... The Yards would still be open on The Clyde"
What have we done? Maggie, what have we done?
Really not an album for the casual Floyd fan. But then again every band has such an album.

If Roger Waters updated the lyrics.
The song Postwar Dream's lyrics would be, "if it wasn't for the Wops being so good at building ships".
Fincantieri now has a shipbuilding hub on the Green Bay Pennisula, building ships for the US Navy...the gunnery is still American made.

Great record - then they released ' A Momentary....' which I loved even more and hooked me forever. It is after this I went back and started to collect their back discography.
Momentary Lapse is a great album…. But Roger and David wrote very differently.
It's well done I guess, if you like listening to that sort of thing. Same vein as brick in the wall. Can't imagine sitting down with a relaxing cup of tea and choosing to put it on for any enjoyment.
Roger Waters is kind of tone deaf in some ways.

“Roger Waters’ manager decided to withdraw ... without giving any reason," Lukasz Pytko from Tauron Arena Krakow said Saturday in comments carried by Polish media outlets.
The website for Waters' “This Is Not a Drill” concert tour did not list the Krakow concerts previously scheduled for April 21-22.
City councilors in Krakow were expected to vote next week on a proposal to name Waters as a persona non grata, expressing “indignation” over the musician's stance on the war in Ukraine.
Waters wrote an open letter to Ukrainian first lady Olena Zelenska early this month in which he blamed “extreme nationalists” in Ukraine for having “set your country on the path to this disastrous war.” He also criticized the West for supplying Ukraine with weapons, blaming Washington in particular.
Waters has also criticized NATO, accusing it of provoking Russia.
